Dynasty 6/2/23

(EAW intro plays.)

(Friday Night Dynasty opens up to a recap of last week’s show: Myles comes out to the ring and says that he does not regret his attack on Limmy Monaghan the prior week, saying that he refuses to be looked at as a charity case and that he deserves the World Championship position he’s been put in. Usagi Senshi beats Bea Valentine, afterward Usagi having a few choice words for Jamie Cross and Lexi at ringside. MITSUBACHI comes out to the ring and declares himself for the 24/7 Battle Royal, just for everyone else on Dynasty in the match to come out to have their say. MITSU would then go onto get a win against Keoga Leosa in his return. Michael Belfort talks about Joso and Ruler’s history with one another and how it all culminates with the two of them participating in the CITV. Valerie Hellstorm gets the win over Axel Graves. It is announced that Limmy Monaghan has suffered an injury from last week, with his Pain For Pride match in jeopardy, with Myles watching backstage realizing that he messed up. Madison Kaline gets the win over Sierra Bradford, afterward ARIA coming down and pushing Madison for a match at Pain For Pride which she ultimately accepts. Interwire Champion PJ Hendrx and his challenger’s Shane Gates and Jay Jerry Johnson meet in the ring, getting into a heated back-and-forth before it spirals into a brawl which has to be split up. Milli Banks beats Delilah Rose before Serenity Valdez after the match lays Milli out and stands tall. Milli gets her revenge as she cost Serenity her match against Caroline. Afterward Hans Grayson comes out, challenging Caroline to a New Breed Championship match at Pain For Pride which she ultimately accepts. Tyrone Montgomery gets Hall of Famer Cy Henderson to enforce the confrontations between the Visual Prophet and Scott Diamond. Sienna Jade cuts a promo on Cameron Ella Ava before Cameron jumps the barricade and sparks a brawl which has to be split up between the two. Xander Payne gets the win over Solomon Stane. Andre Walker cuts a promo on Bronson Daniels. And in the main event Bronson gets a win over the Visual Prophet to end the show and the recap.)

(The camera then goes to a shot of the State Farm Arena in Atlanta Georgia, pyro seen erupting from the stage while a clean version of ‘P.A.T’ by Denzel Curry is heard accompanying that. The crowd is shown hyped up and on their feet before it then goes over to the commentary booth where Stew-O, Flannery McCoy, and Jake Mercer are then seen standing by.)

Stew-O: We are just two weeks away from our trip to Nashville for Pain For Pride, welcoming you tonight to another exciting episode… of FRIDAY NIGHT-

Jake Mercer: DYNASTY! WOO HOO! YEAH!

Flannery McCoy: :francis: We are here tonight LIVE from Atlanta with a thrilling card for you. 2 24/7 Battle Royal Preview matches. The Queen Bees facing Sienna Jade & Cameron Ella Ava. Joso & Ruler against Jay Jerry Johnson & Shane Gates. And in the main event, a Champion versus Champion spectacular with Specialists Champion Milli Banks facing Interwire Champion PJ Hendrx you do NOT want to miss this! Let’s get right into it now with some singles action!

(Dynasty fades to ringside, where Stephie Love is seen with a microphone in her hand.)

Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!

(‘Outlaws and Outsiders’ by Cory Marks hits, and this causes a mixed reaction to come from the fans as Axel Graves walks out to the stage. Axel has a focused look on his face, to the point where his eyes are only on the wrestling ring in front of him. He doesn’t pay any attention to the cheers nor the boos coming from the crowd, and instead walks down the ramp as Stephie begins to speak.)

Stephie Love: Introducing first… From Bearcreek, Montana… Weighing in at 265 pounds… AAAXXEELLLLLLLL GGRRRAAAAAAVVVVESSSSSS!!!!!

Stew-O: Axel Graves wants to pick up momentum, and I don’t blame him. We’re headed towards Pain for Pride, now might be the best chance you’ll ever get this season to really make a statement and prove yourself.

Flannery McCoy: Well he definitely has the opportunity tonight, but we’ll see how it goes. He’s currently set to go up against NOVA, and while he has the size advantage, we know that an advantage like that can be overcome.

(‘Sun Killer’ by Spiritbox hits, and there’s another mixed reaction for the newer Elitist in the match, NOVA. NOVA walks out to the stage after a few seconds, and he stares directly at Axel Graves, beginning to slowly shake his head before beginning to walk down the ramp. He’s prepared for this match, and pays no attention to the crowd reaction.)

Stephie Love: And his opponent… Weighing in at 190 pounds… NNOOOOVVVVAAAAAAA!!!!

Stew-O: NOVA is definitely an interesting one based on the bit we know about him so far. He doesn’t even seem interesting in sharing his hometown, but that might have to do with his history. Nonetheless, I look forward to seeing what he can do in the ring.

Jake Mercer: You two may not know much about him, but I do! Some say that NOVA’s aerial abilities are so impressive that one time he attempted a 450 splash, and the only reason it didn’t work is because he flew so high up that by the time he made it back down to the ring, the show was over!

Flannery McCoy: Why are you like this?

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Stew-O: AND HERE WE GO! This match is underway as both Elitists rush to the center of the ring, before stopping and circling around each other! It looks like both men are looking for the right opening as they know that they’re two completely different Elitists with different strengths and weaknesses! AXEL MAKES THE FIRST MOVE AS HE SWINGS AT NOVA- AND NOVA DUCKS UNDER BEFORE HITTING AXEL WITH A FOREARM! AND ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! NOVA SPINNING AND KICKING AXEL IN THE MIDSECTION NOW BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES- BUT AXEL LIFTS NOVA OVER HIS HEAD WITH A BACK BODY DROP!

Jake Mercer: NOVA LANDS ON HIS FEET, THOUGH! AXEL TURNS TOWARDS NOVA- AND NOVA CONNECTS WITH AN ENZUIGIRI THAT CAUSES AXEL TO STUMBLE INTO THE CORNER! NOVA NOW RUNNING IN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A CLOTHESLINE IN THE CORNER, AND HE BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES ONCE MORE AS AXEL STUMBLES OUT OF THE CORNER! NOVA NOW JUMPING UP ONTO AXEL’S SHOULDERS FOR A HURRICANRANA- BUT THAT MAY HAVE BEEN A MISTAKE! NOVA MAY HAVE JUST MESSED UP BADLY AS AXEL IS HOLDING ONTO HIM, AND MANAGES TO PULL NOVA BACK UP INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION! THIS COULD BE BAD!

Flannery McCoy: AXEL HAS NOVA IN POSITION FOR A POWERBOMB, BUT NOVA DOESN’T MAKE IT EASY FOR HIM! NOVA STARTS PUNCHING AXEL IN THE TOP OF HIS HEAD, AND THIS FORCES AXEL TO CHANGE UP HIS PLAN AS HE THROWS NOVA INTO THE TURNBUCKLES WITH A BUCKLE BOMB! NOVA stumbles out of the corner, AND NOW AXEL GRABS HIM FROM BEHIND BEFORE TURNING HIM INSIDE OUT WITH A RIPCORD LARIAT! That one opening is all Axel needed to take control of this one, and that’s what happens when you have such an overwhelming size advantage in a match like this!

Stew-O: Axel quickly drags NOVA up before scooping him up onto his shoulders, AND NOW NOVA GOES FOR A RUNNING POWERSL- WAIT NO! NOVA SLIPS BEHIND AXEL BEFORE SHOVING HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! AXEL STUMBLES BACKWARDS- RIGHT INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX BY NOVA!!! IMPRESSIVE FEAT OF STRENGTH BY THIS NEWCOMER HERE TONIGHT, SEEMINGLY LOOKING TO PROVE THAT THIS SIZE DIFFERENCE WON’T MATTER TO HIM AT ALL! Axel is down, AND NOW NOVA BOUNCES OFF OF THE MIDDLE ROPE, DELIVERING AN AMAZING SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT BEFORE GOING FOR THE FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH!

ONE!
T-

Stew-O: AND THERE’S A KICKOUT WITH AUTHORITY BY AXEL!!! NOVA knows that he can’t afford to give Axel the chance to get back into this though, AND HE IMMEDIATELY BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES AS AXEL STARTS GETTING BACK UP- BEFORE SENDING HIM THROUGH THE ROPES WITH A HURRICANRANA!!! What a move by NOVA, who is able to send Axel out to ringside!

Jake Mercer: Axel is quick to get back to his feet, BUT NOT QUICK ENOUGH AS NOVA RUNS IN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!!!! AXEL IS STILL ON HIS FEET, AND NOVA NOW IS CLIMBING ONTO THE APRON BEFORE STEPPING UP TO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE!!! DIVING MOONSAULT ONTO AXEL-

Flannery McCoy: NO!! AXEL CAUGHT NOVA!!! AXEL CAUGHT NOVA, AND NOW HE JUST THROWS NOVA HEAD FIRST INTO THE RING POST!!! NOVA IS DOWN, BUT AXEL DOESN’T PLAN TO GIVE HIM ANY ROOM TO RECOVER!!! INSTEAD HE PULLS NOVA UP BEFORE SENDING HIM INTO THE RING, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS MATCH MAY HAVE TURNED AROUND COMPLETELY AS NOVA IS IN TROUBLE! NOVA stumbles into the corner as Axel slides into the ring, AND NOW AXEL RUNS IN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!!! AXEL NOW THROWING NOVA OUT OF THE CORNER- AND AS SOON AS NOVA GETS BACK UP HE’S MET WITH A BICYCLE KICK!!!

Stew-O: NOVA is hurting badly right now, and I think Axel might be looking to capitalize on that and put this match away! He grabs NOVA by the throat before pulling him back to his feet, AND NOW HE GOES FOR “TO THE SKY”- BUT NOVA MANAGES TO BACKFLIP OUT OF IT BEFORE HITTING AXEL WITH A SUPERKICK!!!! AXEL DROPS TO A KNEE, AND NOW NOVA LOOKS FOR THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK- BUT AXEL MANAGED TO DUCK UNDER IT!!!! BOTH MEN ARE ON THE SAME PAGE NOW AS AXEL SCOOPS NOVA UP- BUT NOVA COUNTERS AND DROPS AXEL WITH AN AMAZING DDT!!!

Jake Mercer: This is a really close match right now! Axel uses the ropes to pull himself back up to his feet, AND NOW NOVA CHARGES IN- BUT AXEL IS ABLE TO LIFT NOVA OVER HIS HEAD!!!! NOVA LANDS ON HIS FEET OUT ON THE APRON THOUGH, AND NOW HE CONNECTS WITH A FOREARM STRIKE THAT CAUSES AXEL TO STUMBLE BACKWARDS! AXEL’S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, AND NOW NOVA LOOKS TO MAKE USE OF THAT AS HE SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE TOP ROPE, LOOKING FOR A SPRINGBOARD CL-

Flannery McCoy: NO! AXEL GRAVES JUST CONNECTED WITH A BIG BOOT THAT TOOK NOVA OUT OF THE SKY!!! NOVA STUMBLES BACKWARDS AS HE BOUNCES OFF OF THE ROPES, AND NOW NOVA CATCHES HIM BY THE THROAT BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP IN THE AIR!!!! TO THE SKY!!!! TO THE SKY CONNECTS THIS TIME, AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE MAY HAVE JUST SEEN THE LAST OF NOVA FOR TONIGHT AS AXEL IS QUICK TO HOOK THE LEGS, LOOKING TO PICK UP THE VICTORY AGAINST THIS NEWCOMER BEFORE HE HAS THE CHANCE TO EVEN THINK OF MAKING A COMEBACK!

ONE!
TWO!!
THRE-

Stew-O: NOVA KICKED OUT!!! NOVA just got the shoulder up, keeping this match alive for himself and giving him a chance to potentially pick up the victory! That was a huge move though, and because of that it looks like NOVA isn’t able to get back on his own despite finding the strength to kickout! Things are looking bad for NOVA right now, but we all know that these matches aren’t over until we hear the bell ring! Until then, Axel needs to find a way to keep NOVA down while NOVA finds a way to get back into this one!

Jake Mercer: Uh oh, NOVA might not have much time to get back into this! AXEL GRAVES PULLS NOVA UP BEFORE SCOOPING HIM UP INTO A TORTURE RACK, AND IF YOU’RE FAMILIAR WITH AXEL GRAVES THEN YOU KNOW THAT THIS ISN’T ALL HE HAS PLANNED FOR NOVA! INSTEAD AXEL IS SETTING UP FOR THE MOVE TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY, AS IF IT CONNECTS THERE MIGHT NOT EVEN BE A CHANCE OF NOVA GETTING BACK UP! AXEL SLOWLY BEGINS TO SPIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, AND HE’S SETTING UP FOR THE BADLANDS BOMB-

Flannery McCoy: BUT NOVA SURVIVES!!! NOVA SLIPS OUT OF AXEL’S GRASP, BEFORE JUMPING ON HIS BACK WITH A SLEEPER HOLD!!!! NOVA HAS AXEL IN A SLEEPER HOLD, AND I DON’T THINK ANY OF US EVER CONSIDERED THAT A MOVE LIKE THIS COULD TAKE ANYONE OUT REGARDLESS OF THEIR SIZE! NOVA IS TRYING TO MAKE AXEL EITHER TAP OUT OR PASS OUT, AND IN THE PROCESS HE JUST GAVE HIMSELF ALL THE TIME HE NEEDS TO RECOVER AND REGAIN THE STRENGTH HE’S LOST IN THE PAST FEW MINUTES! ARE WE COMING TO THE END OF THIS ONE!? IS AXEL GOING TO BE FORCED TO TAP, OR CAN HE FIGHT OUT OF THIS!?

Stew-O: Axel drops down to a knee, and I have to admit that things aren’t looking too good for him right now! If NOVA is able to get him down onto the mat, this match might be over! Axel is trying to keep himself awake, but the longer he remains in this submission the greater of a chance there is of him passing out! NOVA was at a disadvantage when it comes to the size and power game, but his speed and agility have gotten him to a point where he might just be able to pick up the victory!

Jake Mercer: WAIT A SECOND, NO!! AXEL QUICKLY PUSHES HIMSELF UP BEFORE BACKPEDALING INTO THE CORNER, CAUSING NOVA TO BE CRUSHED BETWEEN AXEL AND THE TURNBUCKLES!!! AXEL NOW STUMBLING OUT OF THE CORNER AS NOVA REMAINS, AND I THINK HE HAS SOMETHING IN MIND! AXEL NOW HEADED TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER OF THE RING BEFORE CHARGING IN- BUT NOVA SLIPS OUT TO THE APRON THROUGH THE ROPES, AVOIDING WHATEVER IT IS THAT AXEL HAD ON HIS MIND!! THAT WAS A VERY CLOSE CALL, AND AN IMPRESSIVE COUNTER ON NOVA’S PART!

Flannery McCoy: NOVA HITS AXEL WITH A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZUIGIRI, AND NOW AXEL STUMBLES BACKWARDS, RIGHT INTO POSITION FOR NOVA!!! CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE!!!! NOVA JUST HIT AXEL GRAVES WITH CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE, AND THIS MATCH MIGHT JUST COME TO AN END THANKS TO THAT!!! NOVA NOW HOOKING THE LEGS, LOOKING TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY AS AXEL GRAVES MIGHT JUST BE DOWN AND OUT!!!!

ONE!
TWO!!
THRE-

Flannery McCoy: WOW!!! AXEL MANAGED TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!!! AXEL GOT THE SHOULDER UP AND KEPT HIS CHANCES IN THIS MATCH ALIVE!!!! THIS MATCH IS STILL ON, AND NOW EITHER MAN HAS A CHANCE OF WINNING THIS ONE!

Stew-O: NOVA patiently waits as Axel begins to stir, and I have to admit that I’m not entirely sure what he’s thinking here. Whatever his plan is, it looks like he needs Axel to get back to his feet in order for it to work! This has been a very close and competitive match so far, but there’s a chance that we may have reached the beginning of the end depending on whatever it is NOVA is thinking about right now! With the condition that Axel is in, he could definitely finish this match up!

Jake Mercer: Axel manages to push himself up, AND NOW THIS TIME IT’S NOVA SCOOPING HIM UP!!!! AXEL GRAVES IS 6’4, 265 POUNDS AND NOVA MANAGED TO LIFT HIM UP INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY!!! IT LOOKS LIKE NOVA MAY BE SETTING UP FOR THE ETERNALIZER- BUT AXEL GRAVES HAS THE STRENGTH TO BEGIN ELBOWING AWAY AT THE SIDE OF NOVA’S HEAD!!! AXEL CONNECTS WITH ELBOW AFTER ELBOW, AND I DON’T THINK NOVA WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP THIS UP WHILE ALSO DEALING WITH AXEL’S WEIGHT AT THIS STAGE OF THE MATCH WHILE THEY’RE BOTH EXHAUSTED!

Flannery McCoy: YOU WERE RIGHT!!! NOVA IS FORCED TO LET GO OF AXEL, AND NOW AXEL LANDS ON HIS FEET BEFORE LIFTING NOVA UP FROM BEHIND!!!! AXEL ONCE AGAIN HAS NOVA IN THE TORTURE RACK AS HE SETS UP FOR THE BADLANDS BOMB ONE MORE TIME- BUT IT DOES NOT CONNECT!!! NOVA IS ONCE AGAIN ABLE TO SLIP OUT OF AXEL’S GRASP, AND AS SOON AS AXEL TURNS TOWARDS NOVA, NOVA JUMPS UP AND HITS HIM WITH AN ENZUIGIRI!!! NOVA NOW QUICKLY PULLING HIMSELF TO THE TOP ROPE WHILE AXEL IS STUNNED, AND NOW HE GOES FOR A- WOAH, WAIT A SECOND!!!

Stew-O: AXEL GRAVES JUST RAN IN AND SHOVED NOVA’S LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HIM!!! NOVA IS NOW TRAPPED ON THE TOP ROPE, AND NOW AXEL HOLDS HIM BY BOTH THE NECK AND LEGS BEFORE PULLING HIM OFF OF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, HOLDING HIM UP ON HIS SHOULDER AS HE TURNS AND WALKS TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING!!! THE RIDE!!!! THE RIDE CONNECTS, AND THAT MIGHT JUST BE IT AS AXEL GRAVES JUST LAID OUT NOVA!!!!… But wait a second! Axel isn’t going for the cover! I don’t know if this is a good idea, we’ve seen what’s happened in the past when Elitists chose to do further damage rather than just going for the cover and ending the match!

Jake Mercer Wait… I DON’T THINK WE’LL HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT ONE, STEW! AXEL DIDN’T DECIDE AGAINST PINNING NOVA FOR NO REASON, HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE’S DOING!!! AXEL PULLS NOVA OFF THE MAT AND RIGHT INTO A FRONT FACELOCK, AND NOW HE LIFTS NOVA UP IN THE AIR BEFORE SLAMMING HIM DOWN ONTO THE MAT WITH THE 406!!!! THE 406 CONNECTS, AND I THINK THAT MIGHT JUST BE IT FOR NOVA TONIGHT AS AXEL QUICKLY HOOKS THE LEGS FOR THE COVER!!!

ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Stephie Love: Here is your winner… AAAAXXXELLLLLLLLL GGRRRAAAAVVVVEESSSSSS!!!!!

Stew-O: Axel Graves does it! Axel gets the victory, but it definitely was not an easy one! NOVA managed to put up a fight but in the end Axel was able to put him down.

Jake Mercer: NOVA will definitely be able to make up for this loss as long as he keeps pushing, because that was a good performance tonight! As for Axel, well that win said everything that needed to be said. He was able to defeat NOVA, and now he leaves Dynasty with a win!

Flannery McCoy: Congratulations to Axel Graves, who picks up the victory in our FIRST match of the night!

(‘Outlaws and Outsiders’ hits as Axel Graves pulls himself off of NOVA before slowly getting back to his feet. There is another mixed reaction as he has his hand raised by the referee, and after this Axel begins to walk out of the ring, doing everything he came to do. As Axel walks up the ramp, Dynasty fades away from ringside.)

(A commercial is shown for Starbucks featuring Ronan Malosi who is clearly pissed off about being involved and calls off the entire commercial.)

Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!

(‘The Rapture (but it’s pink)’ by Scene Queen & Mothica would hit the speakers of the arena to a negative reaction, as Rory Slate would cockily make her way out onto the stage with a confident smile painted all over her face. She begins to make her way down the ramp, before entering into the ring and backing up into her own corner, her theme would then fade out from there.)

Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 131 pounds, she is The ‘DARK SAINT!!!!!!” ROOOOORRRRRYYYYYYYY SLAAAAAAATTEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Then, ‘Mountains’ By Coi Leray would begin to play throughout the arena to an even louder negative reaction than before, as Valerie Hellstorm would then make her way out onto the stage. She is sharing the same look as Rory Slate, as she would begin to make her way down the ramp taking the reaction in. She enters into the ring, backing into her corner as her theme fades out.)

Stephie Love: And her opponent! From Huntington Beach, California, weighing in at 135 pounds, she is The ‘STAR GIRL!!!!!!!!!” VAAAAAAALLLERIEEEEEEE HELLLLLLLLSTOOOORMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stew-O: And here we go! This match is underway now, as Rory Slate and Valerie Hellstorm would begin to circle around the ring, not taking their eyes off of each other as they began to make it to the center of the ring, and they both initiate themselves over into a lockup to start this match, as they both look to fight right for control right here and now; holding their grounds and not budging at all!

Flannery McCoy: Rory is able to slip out of the lockup, quickly grabbing Valerie into a side headlock, but Valerie moves out of the way of it, going behind and pulling her into a waist lock, before she lifts her and slams her down into the mat! Rory goes down hard as Valerie mounts on top of her, only for Rory to slip herself out of it, getting to her knees and catching Valerie with a vicious back elbow strike, before she goes for the cover.

OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Jake Mercer: Valerie kicks out! But she is clearly stunned by this as she tries to drag herself back to her feet, holding at her jaw. Rory Slate would get to her feet as well, as she grabs Valerie by the wrist, irish whipping her into the ropes, and catching Valerie with yet another back elbow strike once she rebounds off of them, and just like that, Rory has found a way to take the early control of this match, getting a mixed reaction from the crowd as she spreads her arms, standing over the grounded Valerie. Rory notices her getting up, RUNNING THE ROPES…

Stew-O: VALERIE POPS RIGHT BACK TO HER FEET AND DROPS RORY WITH A DROPKICK!! Rory goes down and Valerie quickly grabs her by the hair, pulling her up and down and over into a snapmare before she kicks Rory right into the back! Rory braces herself from the kick, trying to get back up but only for Valerie to quickly grab a hold of her, dropping her down with a snap DDT!! Rory gets slammed down into the mat as Valerie rolls her over onto her back and she hooks the leg early on, looking to get the quick victory!

OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Flannery McCoy: BUT RORY SLATE POWERS OUT AT TWO! Valerie knew that it wasn’t going to keep Rory down, quickly pushing herself back up into a seated position and brushing her hair back as she got back to her feet, grabbing Rory and pulling her up as well, as she would grab her by the wrist and throws her into the corner. Rory goes hard into the corner, as Valerie rushes in at Rory!! BUT RORY CATCHES VALERIE INTO HER GRASPS AND SLAMS HER DOWN WITH A MASSIVE URANAGE SLAM OUT OF THE CORNER, AND VALERIE MIGHT NOW BE HURTING!!!

Jake Mercer: And look Flannery! I don’t think Rory is done! She quickly gets back to her feet and she drags Valerie over to the center of the ring, pulling her back up and dropping her knee right down into Valerie’s neck! Valerie is hurting as Rory would drag her back up once more, pulling Valerie close into her, before Rory catches her with a right hand! RORY HOOKS HER ARMS FOR THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK PILEDRIVER!! RORY SLATE LOOKS TO PUT AN END TO THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE WITH ‘PROTECT YA NECK,’ AS VALERIE HELLSTORM HAS NOWHERE ELSE TO GO!

Stew-O: VALERIE FLIPS HERSELF OUT OF IT, LANDING ON HER FEET AND CATCHING RORY WITH A HIGH KNEE UP INTO RORY’S JAW! Rory is dazed and confused, stumbling around as Valerie then catches her with a short distanced clothesline, taking Rory off of her feet, but she quickly gets back up to her feet, only to be then met with an enziguri kick! Valerie is fighting for her life in this match right now, and she may have Rory Slate right where she wants her, rushing to her feet! AND VALERIE GRABS A HOLD OF RORY, LOOKING TO END IT!!

Flannery McCoy: AND VALERIE HELLSTORM PLANTS RORY SLATE STRAIGHT INTO THE MAT WITH THE BLOODY SUNDAY!! THE ELEVATED DDT HITS THE MARK, AND VALERIE ROLLS RORY OVER ONTO HER BACK, HOOKING THE LEG AND SHE GOES FOR THE COVER! THIS MIGHT BE IT RIGHT HERE! VALERIE FOR THE HUGE WIN!

OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTT-

Jake Mercer: RORY SLATE THROWS HER SHOULDER OFF OF THE MAT JUST BEFORE THE COUNT OF THREE!!! Valerie Hellstorm thought she had won this match, but Rory was just barely able to keep herself in this match, and she is still breathing. Valerie quickly gets back up to her feet, thinking of what to possibly do next as she backs into the corner, and Rory starts to slowly pull herself back to her knees… AND VALERIE HELLSTORM LOOKS TO PUT THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN, RUSHING IN AND SHE NAILS A HUGE V-TRIGGER, TAKING RORY OUT NOW FOR GOOD!!!

Stew-O: RORY DUCKS UNDER IT! Valerie goes over her and falls back down to the mat, still landing on her feet as she rushes back in towards Rory, only for Rory to drag herself right back up to her feet, looking to catch Valerie with a lariat, but Valerie ducks under it! Valerie grabs a hold of Rory, BUT RORY QUICKLY GRABS A HOLD OF VALERIE INSTEAD!! AND SHE PLANTS HER WITH THE DOUBLE ARM DDT!! RORY SLATE NAILS VALERIE HELLSTORM WITH ‘GTFO’ TO PUT A DEFINITE END TO THIS MATCH ONCE AND FOR ALL!!

Flannery McCoy: VALERIE HELLSTORM LANDS ON HER FEET AND OUT OF THE DDT!! Rory Slate can’t believe it, as Valerie quickly turns her back around, catching her with a right hand to the jaw! Rory looks dazed and clearly confused, as Valerie would grasp onto her, pulling Rory close into her, AND NOW VALERIE CONNECTS WITH THE ‘SNAPSHOT!!’ THE STUNNER LAYS RORY SLATE OUT, LOOKING TO TAKE THE VICTORY FOR HER OWN IN THIS MATCH!

Jake Mercer: RORY DROPS TO THE MAT BEFORE THE IMPACT OF THE STUNNER, BEFORE SHE THEN PULLS VALERIE OVER INTO A CRUCIFIX STYLE ROLLUP PINFALL!!

OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: SHE STOLE IT!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER; ROOOORRRRYYY SLAAAATEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Jake Mercer: How dare this woman come to OUR brand and beat OUR competitor.

Flannery McCoy: Brand supremacy aside… Rory comes out with the victory here tonight against a tough foe in Valerie. Both of them laid it all on the line but in the end Rory was smart enough to get the better of her and have her hand raised in victory. Congratulations to her! Well deserved!

(‘The Rapture (but it’s pink)’ hits the speakers once more as Rory Slate would quickly push herself off of Valerie, rolling out of the ring as fast she possibly could. Valerie picks herself up to her knees,disappointed that she had let Rory get away with the victory over her here tonight. Rory would begin to backpedal up the ramp, and the camera would then fade elsewhere; going into commercial.)

(Friday Night Dynasty fades back to show the backstage area of the State Farm Arena, with the camera panning in to show Dynasty Backstage Interviewer Michael Belfort standing by. He has a smile on his face and a microphone in his hand as he takes a moment before bringing it up to his mouth and from there beginning to speak.)

Michael Belfort: What an action-packed start to Friday Night Dynasty so far! We first witnessed a stellar opening match between NOVA and Axel Graves, before then moving on to one of two 24/7 Battle Royal matches with Valerie Hellstorm facing Voltage’s Rory Slate. A great way to kick off the show and the exciting part about it is that we are far from through. There’s still more on the way and I have no doubt in my mind that you do not want to miss it! Right now though, we talk about Pain For Pride, which is quickly approaching with just two weeks left, and for most Elitists, this is going to be their first. They are presented with the opportunity of a lifetime and tonight I am here with someone who I have no doubt will deliver on that. Please welcome at this time, Jamie Cross.

(The crowd erupts into cheers while the camera goes over to show Jamie Cross energetically making her way into the scene. She has a smile on her face as Michael greets her with one back before continuing to speak.)

Michael Belfort: Jamie, thank you for joining me tonight.

Jamie Cross: Awwww you’re too kind, thank you for having me!

Michael Belfort: Well we can safely say these last couple of weeks have been exhilarating for you. You were announced to be taking apart in the tri-branded Specialists Contendership match at Pain For Pride as a representative of Friday Night Dynasty, and since then you’ve gotten to know both of your opponents in that match from Voltage and Showdown.

Jamie Cross: That’s right! I already know Usagi very well and I think it goes without saying that I am very excited to be facing her here in EAW for the first time. Lexi as well is someone who shows a lot of emotion and passion in everything that she does and I know that she is going to be a great opponent as well. There is a lot to look forward to!

Michael Belfort: Well let’s run down the events of what happened last week show by show so we can get your thoughts. On Dynasty we saw Usagi get a win over Bea Valentine, but that was not all as she had a few choice words to say to you and Lexi. She basically said that the result at Pain For Pride is inevitable and that everyone knows the favorite to win the match, that being her. Is there a part of you that takes offense to that?

(Jamie thinks for a moment, before shaking her head.)

Jamie Cross: No, not at all. She has done a lot more in EAW than the two of us have so it’s easy to believe what she said that night. I can tell that she has worked very hard for an opportunity like this one and seeing the fire in her eyes just lights one under me. Pain For Pride is a chance for the both of us to shine and having a competitor like her and Lexi across the ring from me just really helps bring the best out of me. I want both of them to have all the confidence in the world because that is key in this industry, I don’t want them to take this opportunity for granted at all, and I want them to make the best of it just like I have!

Michael Belfort: Well how about what happened the night after on Showdown? Lexi cost you your match against Jon Kelton and afterward you attacked her and sparked a brawl between the two of you. Ultimately it ended with both of you attacking Usagi and laying her out upon seeing that she wasn’t getting herself involved, and overall it was just a really hectic situation.

Jamie Cross: Well yes, I will admit that I let my emotions get the better of me that night, I will say that for certain. Competing on Showdown was a huge opportunity and someone like Jon Kelton was an Elitist who would be a huge victory for me. I was so close to seizing the moment and beating him, but before I could do that Lexi ruined it for me. Now I can’t exactly blame her for that either because if there was any sort of opportunity to send a message then she would not hesitate to take it, but I’d also like to believe that she got what was coming for her when I got a few hits in after the bell. As for Usagi? Ah, well, she’ll understand. I wanted to show that I was just as motivated as her to get the better of the two of them and I felt it wouldn’t do much if I let my words do that. So why not?

Michael Belfort: Moving onto Voltage we finished it off with Lexi in a match against Daryl Kinkade, which she ended up coming short in. After the bell we saw you attack Lexi and lay her out before Usagi followed that up and took you out as well, standing tall over the both of you.

Jamie Cross: Well I didn’t want to stand around and be some pushover now, did I? Lexi decided to start things during my match on Showdown so of course you know that I had to return the favor in her match as soon as I got the chance. I didn’t want to try and cost her the match though, it was a shame she couldn’t get the job done against Daryl regardless. Moving on, I had her sleeping on the floor, and right after that… Usagi did the same thing to me. I should be mad, but I can’t help but applaud her especially after what she said afterward because she’s right, business is business. I’m really great friends with her but I also know that at the end of the day the two of us are opponents and we have to treat each other as such. So I thank you Usagi, you really helped me finetune my mindset heading into Pain For Pride.

Michael Belfort: Well I’m glad to hear what you had to say and it’s clear that you are very passionate about all of this. Do you have any final words that you want to say?

Jamie Cross: Well, I just wish the two of them good luck. I know that they will be giving it their all and they’re not going to be short on saying that toward me, but just know that I will not hesitate to do the same thing. A lot of people have been asking whether or not I want it just as much as they do, and the answer is 100%. I’m not looking to speak that into existence though, I’m looking to show that in the ring just like I always have since arriving here in Elite Answers Wrestling. I am just getting started, and regardless of what happens in the triple threat I am going to walk into Season 17 with the utmost confidence and I will seize the moment.

Michael Belfort: :wow: Well if that’s all, thank you for joining us.

Jamie Cross: No problem!

(Jamie turns around and skips off while Michael turns to the camera with a smile on his face, it’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty, from there, begins to transition to elsewhere.)

Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!

(‘Run’ by Zeal & Ardor hits the speakers to a mixed reaction of cheers and boos, as Mercer McKay would walk out onto the stage. Looking around menacingly, he would begin to walk down the ramp, before he climbs up onto the apron and enters into the ring, backing into his corner as his theme fades out from there.)

Stephie Love: Introducing first! From The Black Cabin, weighing in at 283 pounds, he is The ‘MASTODON!!!!!’ MEEEERRRRCAAAAAAAYYYYY MCCCCCCCKAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

(From there, ‘Imma Be’ by the Black Eyed Peas would replace it on the speakers, as the boos only continued to grow louder once Bea Valentine would make her way out onto the stage. She smiles as she would begin to make her way down the ramp, before she would enter into the ring. She stares Mercer down, backing into her corner as her theme fades out.)

Stephie Love: And his opponent! Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 143 pounds, she is The ‘QUEEN BEA!!!!!’ BEEEEEAAAAAA VAAAAAALENTINEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stew-O: AND OUR SECOND 24/7 BATTLE ROYAL PREVIEW MATCH IS UNDERWAY! MERCER MCKAY VS BEA VALENTINE-

(As Mercer and Bea were about to lockup in the middle of the ring, suddenly someone would rush into the ring, catching them off guard.)

Flannery McCoy: MITSUBACHI?

Jake Mercer: what

Stew-O: UMMMM MITSUBACHI JUST ATTACKED MERCER AND BEA!! HE’S ATTACKING THEM BOTH AS THEY BOTH DROP!! MITSU NAILS MERCER WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK DROPPING HIM TO HIS KNEES, AND THEN A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO BEA VALENTINE!

Referee: Oh okay.

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stew-O: Wow.

Jake Mercer: :blessed: ! AMAZING MATCH FIVE STARS!!!

Flannery McCoy: MITSUBACHI ISN’T DONE, AND HE BACKS INTO THE CORNER BEFORE TAKING BOTH WITH ‘TOGE NO KIOKU!!!’ AND HE IS BACK TO HIS FEET!

MITSUBACHI: Word.

(The crowd explodes in cheers as MITSUBACHI would pose. Apparently the match is just over now before it could even really get started, as the camera would then fade elsewhere from there.)

(Friday Night Dynasty comes back to a scene away from the State Farm Arena, instead, the camera is set up in a dark room, with a singular light shining down on a chair. Footsteps are heard coming closer and closer as a figure is seen approaching the area. The New Breed Champion Caroline takes a seat and adjusts the title over her shoulder, looking down at the ground for a moment before then looking up at the camera.)

Caroline: I’m bored.

(Caroline takes a moment to collect her thoughts, while she does, a replay is shown of King of Elite 2023. Ruler is defending his New Breed Championship against Caroline, and the match is reaching its final moments.)

Jake Mercer: Ruler might have messed up spraying that black mist in her face. That was not a good idea in the least bit, and that may have changed the course of this match! Caroline is way stronger after he did that! Ruler drops off, and he sends a kick into Caroline’s thigh!

Stew-O: Caroline takes it, and yet, she manages to send a kick of her own! Caroline has made a comeback here, and Ruler might’ve just shot himself in the foot! She grabs Ruler’s head, and she slams it on the turnbuckle! Caroline wraps her arm around Ruler’s head, and quite literally, this could be it!

Flannery McCoy: Ruler is trying to fight out of it, but no! Caroline kicks the foot back and she drives his head into the mat! Ruler just got sent first down onto the mat with a headlock driver! A SONG OF FIRE AND ICE CONNECTS, AND RULER’S HEAD JUST GOT SPLIT APART LIKE A RAGDOLL! AND SHE PUSHES HIM ONTO THE MAT! SHE GOES FOR THE COVER!

Referee: OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!

Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stephie Love: AND YOUR WINNER, AND NEWWWW NEW BREED CHAMPION, THE QUEEN OF SHADOWS, CAROLINE!

(A shot is shown of Caroline making her way up the entrance ramp with her newly won New Breed Championship, Ruler being seen laid out inside the ring. It then goes back to the present time, with Caroline continuing to speak.)

Caroline: When I won this title, there was no question of whether or not I wanted the best for it. I plucked this title away from the hands of an undeserving Champion and I sought to do what he never could throughout his reign… and that was to give the New Breed Championship meaning. A part of me believes in hindsight that I did that, but another part of me has also grown frustrated over the lack of competition that has taken shape since then.

(Scenes are shown of Caroline’s numerous title defenses under her belt. Wins against Korey Gaines, Jamie Cross, and Major Michael Scott Connor and her standing tall with her title in the air are showcased. Though despite that her face is marked with a scowl, a quite bitter expression that has become a staple of ‘The Queen of Shadows’ since her inception.)

Caroline: All of them, they were never enough to quell my longing for competition. It was pathetic to see them try and confront me in hopes of even coming close to making me believe that they would be the one, the reality being that they were just too naive to see the inevitability of a loss coming to them. I somehow found it in me despite all of that to look past it and approach it with a disgustingly optimistic point of view. Pain For Pride is near, and I knew that whoever truly wanted this title, was willing to fight for it and not only that but also have what it took to do so, was going to end up coming around and finally give me a reason to fear… whatever that word means. Over time I learned just how much of a fool I was to believe that, and who I met was far from who I expected.

(The scene then fades to Friday Night Dynasty last week, Caroline just having come off of a victory against Serenity Valdez only to be confronted by her next challenger.)

Hans Grayson: I have worked just as hard if not harder than the next person in line for something like this, and I know my worth. If I didn’t believe that I could beat you for that title, then I wouldn’t have come out here. I want you to stop lying to yourself, you know the truth just as well as anyone else.

(The voice echoes through the air while the scene then fades from there, transitioning over to the same dark room with a light shining down on a chair, but instead of it being Caroline, it’s Hans Grayson, her challenger for Pain For Pride. He has a serious look on his face, his hands crossed as he looks at the camera.)

Hans Grayson: I have no regrets about challenging Caroline for the New Breed Championship, in fact, I think for what she’s looking for, I’m the ideal challenger.

(Caroline is seen pinning Major Michael Scott Connor on Showdown, getting another title defense before then proceeding to brutally beat him down after the match. The crowd’s loud boos turn to cheers as Hans rushes down to the ring to help his friend out. It then goes to the week after where Caroline is in the ring with a few choice words.)

Caroline: 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.

(It then goes back to Hans, who shakes his head upon even thinking about what she said.)

Hans Grayson: She had to make it all about her, it was as if I came out there to send a message to her, assuming that I was selfish enough to do so. But it was for a whole other reason that I had explained to her prior, and I have no intention of repeating myself. Moving on though, no matter how much I tried to shake it, I can’t help myself escape what she said to me. How she thinks that I don’t deserve her title, that it was reserved for someone else more fitting of what she was looking for. I’m not going to back down like that, no, the only thing I could really think of was proving her wrong. That’s why I came out there on Dynasty, and that’s why I laid out the challenge to her. And when I did, and when she declined, I targeted the one weakness that she has, and that’s her ego that she desperately tries to repress, and it was then that I got what I wanted.

(Caroline is shown brushing past Hans and leaving the ring after accepting his challenger. The footage then becomes monochrome though as it transitions over to the scene that occurred on the Showdown the day after.)

Deadprez: Holly has made it back to her feet and Hans starts to get the jump ready for his “Burning Shot Lariat”. If it hits, this match is over. HOLLY HAS NO CLUE IT’S COMING AND HERE GO HANS! HOLD ON! WAIT A SECOND! WHO THE HECK IS THAT!

(The camera shows a figure wearing a dark gray hoodie and as they run in, the hood falls revealing the mystery person.)

Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S CAROLINE! THAT’S THE NEW BREED CHAMPION! SHE JUST JUMPED ON THE APRON AND CLOCKED HANS GRAYSON IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE TITLE BELT! SHE CAME OUT OF NOWHERE! HANS WAS STRUCK MID JUMP AND HE CRASHES AND BURNS ONTO THE MAT!

Deadprez: WHAT THE HECK IS CAROLINE EVEN DOING HERE? SHE WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE ANYWHERE NEAR SHOWDOWN AND NOW SHE’S COME OUT OF NOWHERE AND JUST STRUCK IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP BELT!

Xander Payne: What a back fighter. Don’t you just hate it when someone takes offense to a challenge for their championship? A little on the petty side if you ask me.

Gavin Kirkland: Well, if Caroline wanted to make her intentions clear, she certainly did with that title shot to the back of the head. Just like a beautiful thief in the night, she disappears as quickly as she arrives.

Eve: The referee saw none of it because they were trying to break up the altercation outside the ring between Adam and Jake so they were completely oblivious to what happened. Now

Deadprez: RIGHT INTO “SKILL ISSUE”! FLAPJACK AND FACEBREAKER COMBINATION BY POTARA AND POOR HANS IS DOWN AND HE HAS GOT TO BE OUT COLD! HOLLY ROLLS HANS OVER AS HARPER TACKLES ALEX DOWN TO KEEP THEM AT BAY! HOLLY HOOKS THE LEG! POTARA AND JAKE ARE GONNA STEAL THIS MATCH THANKS TO CAROLINE!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Gina Romano: Here are your winners! The team of THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION, JAKE SMITH AND THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, POTARA!!

(The scene then goes back to Caroline.)

Caroline: He’s just like the rest, there is nothing different about him. He’s a dreamer who fantasizes about a reality where he gets everything that he wants, I remember a time when I was just like that. But he’ll learn soon enough that it is far from his expectations, and he’ll be left with nothing but heartbreak and sorrow to end Season 16.

(It then transitions over to Hans.)

Hans Grayson: I know full and well what I am getting into. I have been here long enough to know the risks that I am taking and I’m going to have to be willing to give. I am walking into one of the biggest opportunities of my career and that is something that I will never take for granted. At Pain For Pride, that New Breed Championship…

Caroline: My New Breed Championship…

(The camera then shows a side-by-side of Caroline and Hans.)

Caroline & Hans Grayson: … is mine.

(The camera completely cuts to black from there, ending the video package.)

( As Dynasty turns back to the ring, ‘Run This Town’ blasts through the speakers to a horde of boos, as The 2023 Empress of Elite, Serenity Valdez began to make her way out of the titantron’s opening out to the ring, a rather focused look on her face as she held a small grin alongside her, not even showing a blind eye to the fans who continued to heckle her from the stands, poise begin ever-present as Valdez continued her struts downwards to the ring, making her way quickly down the ramp as she climbed up the apron using the middle rope, pulling herself up and quickly entering the ring, taking a quick lap around it as she allowed her music to play like a symphony; though it was notable that she was doing this alone, no Sierra Bradford or Mei Sasaki in sight, as we were set for a singular Queen Bee all alone to handle her business. With now, Serenity reaching out to get a microphone from an outside staff member, before pulling herself back into the ring with ‘Run This Town fading out, allowing Serenity to finally have the ability to speak – no, PREACH to the masses in Atlanta, Georgia. )

Serenity Valdez: ATTLANNNTAAAAAAAA!!!! Why don’t we try this again, and give a big WELCOME back to THE Empress of Elite, Serenity Valdez – but more importantly? THE ATLANTA, GEORGIA RESIDENTIAL; SERENITY VALDEZ!

( Serenity raised the microphone out to the crowd, which didn’t favor her cause much as boo’s CONTINUED to poor from the stands; although it still didn’t waiver her demeanor, a sarcastic pout coming from Serenity as she pulled the microphone back towards her. )

Serenity Valdez: Guys, guys, guys! You have to SAVE those boo’s for AFTER Milli Banks drags herself out here, don’t worry – just save that energy and we can do it again after Nicki Mid-aj plays through the speakers, mkay? But yes, I am BACK in Atlanta Georiga, the current HOME of the Greatest Wrestler in ALL of EAW history, ME! And tonight, as much as I would love to beat a pipsqueak nobody in front of my favorite crowd EVER… I have a more entertaining and important thing that I must do first, and what might that be? I’M GONNA VERBALLY EVISCERATE MILLI BANKS ON THE MICROPHONE AND EXPOSE HER AS THE FRAUD SHE IS, BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!!!

( Serenity cackled, somehow overshadowing the boos that continued to pour out of the stands, as Valdez set her intentions very clear for what she had coming in store . )

Serenity Valdez: Because here’s the thing, I realized that Milli Banks? She can’t hang with me in more ways than just IN the ring. Because Milli Banks, is a fraud. She is Serenity Valdez lite. She is the downgraded version of everything that makes me, ME – and tonight? Tonight that becomes clear in front of the entirety of my great city, but more importantly? In-front of the entire WORLD. Because let’s not let our memory’s become glosses, she asked for this. She WANTED this – this attention that I am giving her right now, the attention that SHOULD be on a World Title Match at Pain For Pride? She took it. And now for that, I am going to make her pay ten-fold; and I decided to myself, if thats the case? I’m going to THOROUGHLY enjoy it!

Serenity Valdez: Because if we truly think about it… When has Milli Banks ever one-upped Serenity Valdez? Not the Queen Bees, not Sierra Bradford or Mei Sasaki – ME. See, because she’s always bragged about beating me in some way shape or form… But if she did in fact do that? We wouldn’t be here right now. And the fact that she’s over her OBSESSING over me like some crazy-ex, well… I mean, I just feel like I’ve already won. I mean, we’ve seen the fruits of Milli Banks’s spirit, she’s a fan at heart of me specifically; and when has a fan ever toppled over the main attraction? NEVA-EVA, EVA BABY. And that’s how it’s going to stay, that’s how it will ALWAYS be, and that’s how this story ENDS. And look, off my confidence right now? You might not truly understand how annoyed I am about last week’s antics she pulled , I mean I called it out; I predicted it… But that doesn’t change the punishment that will forever be in store for what Milli Banks did COSTING me my MATCH.

Serenity Valdez: So what am I going to do? Well I’m going to MAKE Milli Banks come ALL the way out here, FACE her fears; or rather, FEAR… And apologize to me for what she did, and afterwards? I’ll make sure to leave her choking on her words, PATHETIC, and on MUTE.


( Serenity said with a wide grin, before turning to face the titan-tron as she awaited Milli Banks, with moment and moment passing by with complete silence, before finally ‘Changed It’ blasted through the speakers, the crowd going in a uproar of cheers which only caused a reactionary eye roll from Serenity in the ring, as Milli Banks made her way out of the titan-tron’s opening with a microphone in hand; although she wasn’t smirking or giddy at all, in fact? She came out shaking her head with a disappointed look on her face. )

Milli Banks: I don’t get you, Seren-ren, I really don’t. You’re an anomaly to me, because no matter what expectations I set for you, high or low? You always just seem to evade them entirely. I mean, you want to come out here, and spread this narrative that I’m scared of you, Serenity? You know what – maybe. Maybe a few MONTHS ago, I would’ve been a little doubtful of my abilities against you in an EAW ring, maybe a few months ago I would’ve been a little more nervous of a possible upset – MAYBE a couple of months ago… I would’ve been a little more cautious about a match between us two. But you want to stand there, in your present day form; and say that I am fearful of you? Serenity… I never took you to be this delulu, before!~

( Serenity frowned, an annoyed look spreading on her face; but instead of calling it out, or gloating about it? Milli Banks kept her same, cynical, disappointed glare at Serenity. )

Milli Banks: But to be honest? I would’ve much rather enjoyed facing the Serenity Valdez that first won Empress of Elite, than facing the Serenity Valdez I am looking at right now. Because if I am going to WIN at Pain For Pride? I want to beat you at your very best. I want to take you to your limit and come out standing tall – but when I look at you right now, and I see the state of yourself that you are not only in, but COMFORTABLE with? It makes me so disappointed to know that I didn’t take my shot when you were actually the woman I was interested in. The DOMINANT Serenity Valdez, the non-COMPLACENT Serenity Valdez. A Serenity Valdez who wouldn’t expect things to get handed to her because there was always a ‘bias’ against her, therefore she has to work harder… But that isn’t you anymore. You sit here, you EXPECT fear now, you EXPECT respect now, you EXPECT glory, fame, and Championship Gold… Now you want things to be handed to you that you have not EARNED.

Serenity Valdez: Yeah, yeah you can keep on –

Milli Banks: Wasn’t finished, Serenity. Because after you won the Empress of Elite tournament that you continue to cling onto when people ask ‘Why is Serenity Valdez considered a threat?’ It’s been loss, after loss, after loss. You haven’t won, Serenity. Not against Sienna Jade, nor against Cameron Ella Ava – and behind you? It used to be a far cry when people said that Mei Sasaki and Sierra Bradford were on your level… And now? Now you all seem perfectly all on the same caliber.

( Serenity bit the button of her lip, looking down as she that felt like a true blow to her ego, Milli Banks continued to pursue. )

Milli Banks: Seren-ren, you did have the killer instinct. You had the drive. You had the keys to the kingdom, but now? Now you’ve lost all of that. You’ve lost everything that made you an actual reason to be FEARED – and what is left? A cocky girl, with a big opportunity to BE something; but going down the path you’re on? I did you a favor taking you out of that World Championship match, because if your track record serves you right? You would’ve squandered that opportunity too. So Serenity, if you want to show up to Pain For Pride acting like you do, portraying yourself as you are… But with that same bite you used to have removed from your current bark? Then don’t.

Serenity Valdez: … Don’t?

Milli Banks: Show up. Don’t show up, Serenity. We shouldn’t waste peoples time or money, so if you’re going to be this shedded skin persona of the Serenity Valdez who used to be able to one-up me time after time, and instead you just flop like every single one of your previous matches? Help yourself. Help me. Help EAW – Don’t show up.

( Milli Banks dropped the microphone from her mouth, the crowd silent, the whole world giving Serenity the MOMENT to respond to the allegations against herself, Serenity lifting the microphone to her face, staring down Milli Banks, opening her mouth to speak and… )

Serenity Valdez: I- ….

( … Nothing. )

( Serenity stood there looking down Milli Banks who raised an eyebrow, an unsaid moment where Milli Banks found her point proven evidently as she smirked very lightly, knowing that now? Serenity Valdez even SLIGHTLY was beginning to doubt herself… And that’s all that was needed. As before Serenity could even MAKE an excuse, or blurt out something to re-direct what Milli Banks had been saying, ‘Changed It’ hit the speakers again; as the eye contact between the two intensified; Serenity dropping the microphone to her side, with a timid tone in her demeanor now, entirely different from how she entered; with Milli Banks turning on her heel and beginning to walk right to the back, leaving Serenity alone in thought now; as Dynasty made it’s way to a brief, commercial break. )

(A commercial is shown for this week’s episode of Saturday Night Showdown, being headlined by Ms. Extreme going up against Chris Elite.)

(Slowly, the EAW Dynasty broadcast would begin to return from the silence and darkness that follows the ending of the commercial break, a commercial break that preceded this segment, as we cut to a camera angle facing the titantron. The fans in attendance for the 2nd-to-last Dynasty show of the season would begin to notice the return of the show, and thus, begin to mutter to one another. Eventually, the camera would pan to a shot panning across the ribbon LED’s high up in the rafters, still facing the titantron, though this time we sill the full stage, alongside the ring at the far left of the screen. Moments later, a familiar voice would begin to speak up through the audio systems around the State Farm Arena.)

Stephie Love: Ladies and Gentlemen… THE QUEEN BEES!!!!

(Immediately the EAW audience would start to groan and boo, and before long, ‘Run This Town’ by Jay Z ft. Rihanna would blare through the speaker system. The camera fades toward the right hand side of the stage, as we see Mei Sasaki and Sierra Bradford walk out through the curtains, wearing their ring gear colored in the yellow and black of the Queen Bees M.O, alongside two tight sported Queen Bees t-shirts. They both pose on top of the stage, before Sierra places an arm around Mei’s shoulders, as the two walk down to the ring with cocky grins on their faces, clearly feeling themselves ahead of Pain For Pride. Sierra and Mei make their way down to the bottom of the ramp, looking around the arena, and they notice every single pair of eyes looking back at them Thumbs down, boos, if not worse insults being hailed their way. Even if a few beers are thrown their way, they would not care. This is the reaction they were hoping for, after all. This is what they feed off of. The Queen Bees absolutely love the hatred that is flung their way, if anything it lights them up even more. Mei and Sierra walk up the steel steps, entering the ring, as Sierra heads over to the south-east corner of the ring, before picking up a microphone, one for each of them. She walks into the center of the ring, and hands Mei the microphone, as ‘Run This Town’ begins to fade out, alongside the booing of the crowd. Then, Sierra speaks up.)

Sierra Bradford: As of today, we are two weeks away from Pain For Pride 16. Pain For Pride 16 will be my fourth Pain For Pride as an active competitor on the EAW roster, however, it will be my first Pain For Pride side-by-side with my besties, Serenity Valdez and Mei Sasaki. I can assure you, this will be a great night for the Queen Bees. First things first; Serenity Valdez has a problem that she has to clear up. To be honest, we’ve all had this problem for months now, practically going on a year, and it is *so* annoying that only now are we really getting to exterminate it, however, I am fully confident that following Pain For Pride, Milli Banks will be forced to accept the FACT that Serenity is simply better than her in every way shape or form. She always clings onto these stupid ideas that she’s not, but in the end, it always goes the same way. Meanwhile, we will be competing for the Unified Tag Team Championships, and we will be bringing gold BACK to the Queen Bees in the form of those belts. We are taking on teams that, quite frankly, just aren’t worth our time, and that is the main difference here.


Mei Sasaki: The Queen Bees are the best in EAW. Need I say any more? Look at what we’ve accomplished so far. Specialists Championship, Empress of Elite, soon to be Unified Tag Team Championships, and just the company that we keep. Who has the endorsement of the greats besides us? Who gets to wake up beside World Champions like I do? Who beats Hall of Famers like myself, and Sierra? Nobody does it like us. To be honest, us coming out with those Championships is a complete and utter inevitability. It is practically guaranteed. Like, look who we’re up against. We’re up against th most overrated tag team of all time in POTARA, a team that was fraud checked just over a year ago in Off-Brand Amphetamines, and a team consisting of 2023 Xander Payne and Ryan Wilson. They really aren’t worth our time, and realistically, we are going to embarrass absolutely everybody in that match. This should be common knowledge, but as I said, POTARA is overrated, we’re clearly not the favorites like we should be 😔. But, let’s be honest, when has that ever mattered? All that matters is one thing; those two straps of gold belong to us now, and there isn’t a single thing anyone can do about it.

(Almost immediately, the crowd begins to boo.)

Mei Sasaki: Why y’all booing me? I’m right. You know I’m right, you just don’t want it to be true. You hate to see three stunning, powerful women succeed in this industry, and it shows, however, we’re not setting this up for debate, we are making it known fact. Pain For Pride is closer than ever, as is our win, and the minute we are crowned Champions we will shut all of you up. The Queen Bees are in for an extremely successful Season 17, and there isn’t a damn thing anyone can do to stop that. It’s ours now.

Sierra Bradford: Right?? I mean, Serenity as Empress of Elite, guaranteed to become World Champion. Myself and Mei as Unified Tag Team Champions. Gold wrapped around our waists… The Queen Bees will be unstoppable. Once Milli is out of our hair, and these fraud teams are no longer breathing down our neck, we’ll have time to truly shine, and it’s going to be at the expense of everyone else. Y’all are going to hate it, but most importantly, y’all are going to accept it as the absolute truth. We’re not going to give you any other option but the Queen Bee Train.

(Mei and Sierra smirk down the camera lens, however, moments later, ‘Bringin’ Home the Rain’ by The Builders and Butchers hits the speakers, and the crowd begins to cheer immediately, almost as if it were a thank you letter to Off-Brand Amphetamines, due to them interrupting the speech that absolutely everybody is dreading to hear. The crowd does not like the Queen Bees in the slightest, and even the most neutral of reactions that these two would usually get has been flipped into positive because of their arrival. Kirk Redwood and Solomon Stane walk out through the curtains, microphones in hand. Sierra and Mei groan, rolling their eyes, and facepalming, as the two begin to walk down the ramp. It’s evident that the Queen Bees weren’t done, and being cut off is the biggest sign of disrespect to them, whereas Off-Brand Amphetamines simply don’t care that they’re feeling this way. Kirk and Solomon hop onto the apron, before entering the ring, as they go face-to-face with one of their PFP opponents.)

Sierra Bradford: Oh my GOD, what do you want?

Mei Sasaki: Right??? :francis:

(Off-Brand Amphetamines shake their heads.)

Solomon Stane: Let’s be honest here, girls. Let’s not just sit here and lie to a camera, put on a face, make ourselves look confident; there’s a reason why this is your first Championship opportunity for those titles, it’s because you aren’t ready for it. You’ve been proving it for months, and getting the chance to prove that once again sounds very appealing. You’ve had the chance all season to go for those belts, but instead of that, you’ve been losing over and over and over, and because of that, I genuinely do not believe that you trust a single word that you say. You have no reason to. Every bit of credibility comes from your leader, and you know it.

Kirk Redwood: We have BEEN Champions before, allow me to remind you, and we can absolutely become two-time Champions, especially at your expense. We’ve earned those belts, and we’ll earn them again, whereas you two were practically gifted this spot. You lost the first time, and beat the duo that we beat before you, just because the other team that was in this match simply couldn’t be in this match. Do you catch my drift? You’re going to get eaten alive. You’re going to get your ego checked by courtesy of Dongzilla and Solomon Stane. You are not ready for this.

Solomon Stane: Oh, but don’t worry. You’ll still have The Realm’s abysmal reign to cling onto, as a little security blanket. A dead team, a three year old reign, you’ll still have that because who knows when you’re getting another one? You’re known failures, and we will put you in your place.

Kirk Redwood: By force. We’re not going to allow you to just accept your roles, we will force you into that position whether you like it or not. We’re going to send you home disappointed, hurt, and alone, and honestly, that’s the way it should be. If we’re not “worth your time,” I don’t want to know what time you operate on.

Sierra Bradford: Can y’all shut up for a SECOND? I can’t even hear myself think…

Mei Sasaki: So what you were trying to say is…

Stew-O: OH MY! THE QUEEN BEES IMMEDIATELY LOWER THEIR MICS, AS THEY BEGIN TO PUNCH THE OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES IN THE HEAD! MEI HAS KIRK BACKED UP IN A CORNER, WHEREAS SIERRA HAS SOLOMON BACKED UP! SIERRA STOMPS DOWN ON SOLOMON, OVER AND OVER AND OVER, MAKING SURE HE’S TAKEN DOWN TO THE MAT!

Flannery McCoy: MEI SASAKI HAS A DIFFERENT PLAN, THOUGH, AS SHE DRAGS KIRK OUT FROM THE CORNER BY HIS HAIR, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HUGE UPPERCUT THAT DROPS HIM TO A KNEE! THE QUEEN BEES ARE LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A HUGE-

Jake Mercer: NO! SOLOMON STANE COMES OUT AND TACKLES SIERRA TO THE GROUND AS THEY WERE LOOKING FOR ‘BEE STING’!!! SOLOMON IS POUNDING DOWN ON SIERRA, AS MEI IS CONFUSED! SHE LOOKS BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN KIRK… BEFORE STRIKING! SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK, THE ‘DISINTEGRATION’!!!

Stew-O: KIRK REDWOOD DUCKS IT! HE PUSHES MEI BACK, AS SOLOMON GRABS HER! HE PLACES HER IN THE FRONT FACELOCK, LOOKING FOR THE X-PLEX INTO A BACKSTABBER FROM KIRK! END OF THE RAINBOW-

Jake Mercer: NO! SIERRA GRABS MEI BY THE FOOT, AND DRAGS HER OUT OF THE RING!

(The Queen Bees retreat, stumbling into the announcers desk, as they look on at Off-Brand Amphetamines, clearly pissed off.)

Sierra Bradford: (off-mic) WE HAVE A MATCH!

Mei Sasaki: (off-mic) GET OUT OF THE RING!

(The Queen Bees yell at OBA, who look at one another, and shrug; satisfied. They accomplished what they wanted to, and they hurt The Queen Bees, who are currently preparing for a match. OBA mockingly signal for them to enter the ring, waving their arms, as they slowly retreat. They walk up the ramp, as the camera pans elsewhere…)

(A commercial is shown for taquitos.)

(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into ‘Run This Town’ playing through the speakers, Sierra Bradford and Mei Sasaki being seen in the ring after the encounter that they had with the Off-Brand Amphetamines. They seem to not care about what happened, completely focused right now on the task at hand while Stephie Love begins to speak.)

Stephie Love: The following tag-team contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!

Stephie Love: Introducing first! Representing the Queen Bees… MEEEEEEEEEEEIIII SAAAASAAAAAAAKIIIIIIIIIII AND SIERRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADFOOOOOOOOOORD!

Jake Mercer: THEY’RE GOING TO PAIN FOR PRIDE! :blessed:

Stew-O: That they are. And now the Queen Bees are looking to pick up any and all momentum they can get in preparation for what will be a competitive match for the Unified Tag Team Champonships.

Flannery McCoy: Momentum is always good to have, but I’m sure Sierra and Mei are looking forward to picking up a huge win by beating two women who they have had issues with! We know the Queen Bees have been embroiled with issues involving Milli Banks, Cameron Ella Ava, and the Jaded Hearts. While Cameron and Sienna have beaten Serenity, the Queen Bees do have a win over Cameron in tag team action. If they can beat her here again, then their confidence – or arrogance – will soar through the roof!

Stew-O: Plenty at stake, especially given the history between these four. However, at least Mei and Sierra are a cohesive unit. The same cannot be said for their opponents.

(As Sierra and Mei continue to prepare, leaving the ring for the ringside area while the theme transitions to ‘Unf***withable’ by D**z N**s. An unamused and irritated Sienna Jade steps out, rolling her eyes. She does her trademark pose, showing off her leather jacket. However, it’s clear she would rather be anywhere else but here – or at least, have a different partner.)

Stephie Love: AND THEIR OPPONENTS! First, residing in Seattle, Washington, your 2023 EAW Hall of Fame Inductee… SIEEEEEEEEEEEEENNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADE!

(Not even the announcement is enough to break Sienna out of her sour mood.)

Stew-O: Well, we don’t need to do any rocket science to find out why Sienna doesn’t look all that pleased here tonight.

(Her theme fades, paving way for ‘Good For Her’ by MOTHICA featuring emlyn to play. Cameron Ella Ava steps out, eliciting a more favorable response from the fans, but just like Sienna, she is as annoyed as can be. She marches down, and meets up with Sienna by the bottom of the ring. The two glare at each other… much to the amusement of the Queen Bees.)

Stephie Love: AND HER PARTNER! From Los Angeles, California… CAMERON ELLAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAVAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

Flannery McCoy: :lupe:

Jake Mercer: Two legends who on paper should win this, but given their beef, there’s a lot of uncertainty tonight. It’s crazy to think about.

Stew-O: It is, but that is the reality of the situation. Cameron and Sienna said that they aren’t trying to play nice, so one has to wonder if they’ll be able to work together at all.

(The two eventually break eye contract and get in the ring, silently getting to their corner. Meanwhile, Sierra and Mei talk to each other, pointing and laughing at the explosive duo in front of them. Both teams then warm up, getting some last-minute preparations done before the match starts.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stew-O: Mei and Sienna are out on the apron, meaning that we’ll be starting things off with Sierra and Sienna. The two circle around before coming to meet with a lock-up! Sienna isn’t wasting any time. She pushes Sierra towards the ropes, and now, she falls back, sending her rolling over onto the mat. She takes a hold of her arm. However, Sierra is giving her some resistance! Bradford works her way back up to her feet and twirls, lessening the pressure that’s applied on her arm.

Jake Mercer: Sienna may be experienced, but so is Sierra – and given how many times all four women here in this match have encountered each other, I’m sure they know each other like the back of their hands by now! Sierra’s able to twist Sienna’s arm and flips her onto the mat! She kneels down, using her knee to apply as much weight as possible onto that limb while simultaneously trying to get a hold locked in! Sienna isn’t in the camp of remaining idle, though; the veteran is already looking for a way up and out of this!

Flannery McCoy: She is! Sienna rolls onto her side and then her stomach. She gets partially up, before popping up on her feet with a handspring! Spinning around, she turns the hold back onto Sierra and wrenches her arm! Bradford drops to a knee and rolls forward! She comes back up with a kip-up–

Stew-O: But Sienna denies her that chance! She just grabbed hold of her hair and snaps her back down! Now, Jade’s pressing her knee into her face, trying to remain the aggressor here!

Jake Mercer: Might’ve caught Sierra off guard, but Bradford isn’t out! She’s kicking her in the head from the ground! Sienna’s trying to be stubborn, but I don’t think she’s going to be able to keep that hold on for long!

Flannery McCoy: And she lets go! She takes a few steps back as Sierra works her way back to a vertical base! She runs in, going for a clothesline–

Stew-O: Ducked by Sienna! She loops her arm around the attacking limb and swings down, sending Sierra through with an arm drag! Both Elitists race up, and Sierra goes for a forearm! However, Sienna blocks it with HER FOREARMS! A kick to the gut levels Bradford! She’s hunched over! Now, Sienna bounces from the ropes, coming in with a BOOT TO THE HEAD–

Jake Mercer: MISSED! Sierra quickly grabs her from behind and gets her shoulders down! Backslide pin!

ONE–

Flannery McCoy: Sienna kicks out! Arms locked together, they both rise to their feet! We’re getting some struggling here as both women are trying to overtake the other! Sienna tries to lift Sierra up, but she’s able to bring back down her weight! She tries to adjust, but Sienna isn’t affording her that chance! Sienna lets go and spins her around, dropping her face DOWN ONTO HER KNEE! Wow! Sierra’s holding onto her nose!

Stew-O: And Sienna race for the ropes! She comes back – BUT IS PUT DOWN WITH A DROPKICK! She scrambles back up, but Sierra catches up with a back thrust kick to the gut! Sienna leans forward! Bradford comes in now and grabs the arm, sending her up and over with a unique variant of the Northen Lights suplex! Sienna grabs onto her back as she gets up to a knee…

Jake Mercer: Running face wash from a rebounding Sierra Bradford! Early advantage here for the Queen Bees as she’s able to cut her down! We get another cover here!

ONE–

Flannery McCoy: Not enough to put the match away. Still, Sierra isn’t giving Sienna any leeway here! The former tag team champion gets Jade up and thrusts her shoulder into her gut! She hits her over the back with a clubbing forearm! Then another one! She drives her knee into her midsection! Now, Sierra takes her over into her corner and extends her hand out to Mei!

(TAG!)

Stew-O: And Mei has no qualms getting ready to wrestle against her mentor! She and Sierra grab her and take her up into the air… DOUBLE SUPLEX! Sierra exits as Mei looks down at Sienna, slowly shaking her head. She goes for a cover!


ONEEEE–

Jake Mercer: Nope, far from over! However, Mei isn’t showing any hesitation here! She stomps down hard onto the stomach of Sienna Jade! She sits up in pain, but Sasaki comes up from behind and drives her foot into her back! Oof! And that did NOT sound like a light kick at all!

Flannery McCoy: That’s that taekwondo background coming into play here. Mei is one of the moe lethal strikers here on Dynasty! So much so that she JUST delivered another harsh kick onto that back! Sienna’s grimacing, but her own pupil isn’t done with her! Mei leads her up, keeping a hold on the wrist. She fires off with a sharp kick at the gut! She grabs the arm, twists it, and spins on through, striking Sienna in the face with a NASTY standing boot to the face! She drops down to a knee!

Stew-O: Mei grabs her by the head and sends her into a seated position with a snapmare. She SLAMS her knee into her back and digs it in, reaching forward to grab her by the chin! And we can see that Cameron is starting to look annoyed here, not expecting for Mei and Sierra to get an early lead!

Jake Mercer: I wouldn’t blame her! I mean, the Queen Bees have so far controlled this match in its infancy! Not to mention that Mei is already doing a lot better than the last time she and Sienna faced off against each! Sorry to all of you nerds at home that were expecting this to be a quick one, but Mei Sasaki is saying it in the ring for you: don’t count the Taekwondo Baddie out!

Flannery McCoy: I have to hand it to her, she is keeping the pressure on Sienna this time around. I’m sure that match has fueled her to do everything she can to cut down the woman she was brought up under. The Queen Bees aren’t in the camp of having any humiliating losses leading up to Pain for Pride! They’re here to sharpen up and make sure that when it comes time for them to fight in that Unified Tag Team Championship match, there won’t be any doubts about them walking out of Nashville with the titles.

Stew-O: And that is the end goal for them here. Mei looks to transition from the chin hold into a different lock, getting Sienna up… but she’s met with an elbow to the gut! Sienna is fighting back! She slams that point back into the same spot, causing Mei’s grasp on her to loosen! Sienna grabs her by the head and SLAMS her forearm into her face! Jade hits the ropes and comes running back in–

Jake Mercer: Knee to the gut! Mei returned the favor– AND WAIT, LOOK! ‘DISINTERGRATION’!! OH MY GOD!! SHE’S GONNA GET HER!!


Flannery McCoy: HOLY COW! SIENNA JUST DUCKED UNDERNEATH IT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!! MEI WAS TRYING TO PULL A FACE ONE THERE! THE MOMENTUM FROM THE MISSED KICK SPINS HER AROUND, AND SIENNA IS RIGHT BEHIND HER!

Stew-O: Sienna is looking to take advantage here! She grabs Mei’s arm and SPINS HER THROUGH THE RIPCORD! ‘WITCHES HAMMER’–

Jake Mercer: NO! MEI DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT AND RUNS FOR THE ROPES! SHE HOPS UP AND COMES BACK, SENDING SIENNA DOWN WITH THE SPRINGBOARD ROUNDHOUSE! WHAT A PRECISE KICK THAT WAS!


Flannery McCoy: And that strike has Sienna rolling over to her corner! Mei looks over at her and shakes her head, laughing! She mockngly wags her finger at her, and I don’t think Sienna appreciates the cockiness one bit! She jolts back up and storms towards her–

(TAG!)

Stew-O: CAMERON MADE HERSELF THE LEGAL OPPONENT!

Jake Mercer: :lupe:

Flannery McCoy: And Sienna – she looks OFFENDED by that! Her ire is turned towards her own partner as she furrows her brows, throwing her arms up!


Sienna Jade: (off-mic) Seriously! What the hell was that? You’re already trying to jeopradize us, huh?

Cameron Ella Ava: (off-mic) More like you trying to jeopradize us. Are you really going to let the same mutt you trained get you flustered like that?

Mei Sasaki: 🤨

Sienna Jade: (off-mic) … Whatever. Just don’t pull this stunt again. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that what I’ll do will be an ‘accident’. ‘Stabbing backs’ and what-not, right?

Cameron Ella Ava: (off-mic) Riiiiiight. Just get the hell out of here already.

Stew-O: That was… tense, to say the least.

Jake Mercer: Yeah, I don’t think there’s a knife out there in the world that can cut through something like that! However, Sienna steps out on the apron, so at least things aren’t imploding between th– WAIT! MEI COMES RUSHING IN! DOUBLE KNEES TO CAMERON ELLA AVA!

Flannery McCoy: NO! Cameron was able to get out of the way! Mei’s knees collide with the turnbuckle and she staggers back! Cameron grabs her and sends her down with a lifting front slam! She gets up and sees Mei trying to come back to a stand! She clocks her with a kick to a face!

Stew-O: Cameron Ella Ava gets her up and sends her down with a powerful snap suplex! And she seems intent on making Sasaki pay for trying to catch her off guard as she floats over, cinching in a seated guillotine choke! All the while, she looks over at Sienna! She doesn’t look impressed at all, though! Sienna rolls her eyes and waves her off!

Jake Mercer: If looks can kill, man. Those two don’t even need to speak anymore with how they just looked at each other! A whole lot of shade is being thrown, but at least with Cameron, she’s still applying that heat onto Mei! Sasaki slams her forearm against her side, looking to try and weaken her! However, Ava reciprotactes with one of her own! Mei could be in a lot of trouble here!

Flannery McCoy: And in comes Sierra, who comes in with a kick! She likely sensed that trouble! Cameron lets go, getting up and turning her attention over to her! Bradford raises her hands up as she’s backed into the corner by the irritated hall of famer–

Stew-O: ROLL UP BY MEI! SIERRA HEADS ON BACK TO THE APRON AS HER PARTNER GETS THE SURPRISING PIN!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!


TW–

Jake Mercer: KICKOUT! Mei pops back up as Cameron gets to her feet! Cam goes for a punch, but Mei ducks under it and runs to the ropes! And right there is Sierra who quickly taps her hand on her shoulder!


(TAG!)

Flannery McCoy: Mei comes in with a running high knee, but Cameron steps to the side! She kicks her in the gut and grabs Mei by her head! But look! Sierra comes right in and RUNS RIGHT AFTER HER! SHE’S GOING TO ATTACK–

Stew-O: NO! CAMERON TAKES HER DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE, ALL THE WHILE DRIVING MEI’S HEAD TO THE CANVAS WITH A BULLDOG! AND THE FANS ARE GOING CRAZY! WHAT A MANUEVER THERE BY THE FORMER MULTI-TIME CHAMPION!


Jake Mercer: Can’t lie, it looked like the Queen Bees were going to catch her off guard! However, their plans got foiled in an instant! Cameron nods her head, smirking as Mei rolls out to the outside, clutching her head! Sierra is laying on the mat, trying to recover from the unsuspecting strike!

Flannery McCoy: ‘Serpents’ sure do know how to attack when people least expect them to. Now, the control is shifting back on the side of Jade and Ava as Cameron gets to work. She mounts Sierra and hits her over and over with some heavy-handed punches to the skull! Sierra does her best to cover up, mitigating some of the attacks, but Cam’s fists are still finding their way to her. At least they stop – but it’s not to her benefit! She’s up on her shoulders, being marched out to the center of the ring. Cameron pops her slightly up into the air and drops down, CRASHING SIERRA’S BACK ONTO HER KNEE! Bradford rolls around in pain!

Stew-O: And Cameron lays a harsh stomp onto that same area! Sierra rolls over onto her stomach, trying to crawl away. However, Cameron catches up and drives her knee down onto her. She keeps it pressed as she grabs the chin, getting in a modified camel clutch! Sierra panics! She sticks her leg back, trying to get her foot on the rope behind her! However, she’s still too far away from them! Cam realizes this and does her best to tighten the submission even more!

Jake Mercer: But look! Mei is back up, and she hops on the apron! She calls the ref’s attention! She… oh, wow, she looks a bit out of it, doesn’t she?

Flannery McCoy: Yeah, she does! Maybe she’s hurt? The referee is checking up on her–

Stew-O: EYE RAKE FROM SIERRA! CAMERON LETS GO! SHE GETS UP AND STUMBLES AROUND, HOLDING ONTO HER FACE! AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, MEI IS STARTING TO FEEL BETTER!

Flannery McCoy: SERIOUSLY?!

Sienna Jade: (off-mic) Yep. Still an amateur, alright.

Jake Mercer: WOW! HAHA, GREAT TACTIC AND ACTING THERE FROM MEI! SHE HAD ALL OF US FOOLED, AND THAT PAVED THE WAY FOR SIERRA TO FIND HER ESCAPE!

Flannery McCoy: A dirty way to escape, you mean, but it’s effective! Sierra gets up and is able to kick Cameron in the head with a roundhouse! She drops down, but Bradford hits the ropes and comes back in! ENZUIGIRI! Sierra takes the time to feel her back and chin before she rains down stomps onto the downed Cameron! And they’re right in front of Sienna, who simply watches on unamused!

Stew-O: Sierra stops her stomping onslaught and gets Cameron up. She places her shoulder into her gut, taking her all the way over into her corner with the shoulder thrust! She sticks her leg out and DRIVES her shoulder into Cameron again! She stands up, sticking her hand out to Mei. The Queen Bees get the tag!

(TAG!)

Jake Mercer: And business is picking up for them! Sierra backs up and runs in, hitting a corner knee! She snaps Cameron through into a seated position and comes in with a rolling neck snap! Cameron goes down! Mei hits the ropes and runs forward where Sierra waits for her… WHEELBARROW-ASSISTED BODY SPLASH! :damn: AND MEI ROLLS FORWARD BEFORE FLIPPING BACK, LANDING BOTH OF HER KNEES ONTO CAM! COVER!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOO–

Flannery McCoy: Effective teamwork. Still, we’ve seen this sort of thing from the Queen Bees before. They’re just too cohesive of a unit right now, being able to hold their own against Sienna and Cameron. Sierra grabs Cameron by the knees and leads her up to her knees… KAMIGOYE! Cameron falls back, but Sierra’s still holding onto her wrists. She turns around, looking directly at Sienna!


Sierra Bradford: (off-mic) Aren’t you going to help her out? :mjlol:

Stew-O: Sierra’s confidence is soaring as she and Mei have steadily maintained control here! She brings Cameron up and strikes with an axe kick! Cameron hunches forward, arms dangling down! And Bradford follows it up with a buzzsaw! Sierra drops down to her knee and yawns, causing the fans here to boo! She hooks the leg!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!


TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO–

Jake Mercer: Shoulder up! However, Sierra grabs that arm of Cameron’s and traps it under and behind her leg. She reaches over as Cam sits up and grabs the other arm, applying a hold here! And they’re still right in front of Sienna! Cameron is struggling here!

Flannery McCoy: And Sierra and Mei are liking this! Sasaki is rooting her partner on, all while they BOTH tease Sienna and Cameron! And Sienna is getting more and more annoyed by the second! She almost looks tempted to go after them, but knowing how the Queen Bees operate, trying to get in the ring would only provide them the opportunity to strike while the referee tries to keep her at bay.

Stew-O: A good point there, Flannery. That would be detrimental for a team that’s already at a disadvantage here due to their differences. Sierra is maintaining her hold on Cameron, yelling for her to tap! However, Cameron shakes her head! Even with the precarious situation she’s in, she isn’t willing to give up!

Jake Mercer: Cameron did say that she was going to try and fight despite whatever drama is currently circulating with this match! At the very least, she wants to pick up a win and garner some bit of positivity after how negative the past couple of weeks have been. Cameron is doing everything she can to try and find a way to get out of this!

Flannery McCoy: She goes to stretch her leg out, looking for the bottom rope! No dice! She’s close, but not close enough! Sierra takes her free arm and attacks with the point of her elbow hitting her chest! She strikes over and over again, trying to severely weaken Cameron! Sierra relents, trying to switch on over into a double-arm lock! She gets her opponent grounded!

Stew-O: Cameron is trying to power herself up to her feet, though! She’s forcing her way to a standing position, fighting past the pain! AND SHE’S UP! Sierra goes behind and wraps her arm around her throat, getting in a sleeper hold! Cameron runs backwards, SLAMMING HER INTO THE CORNER! HOWEVER, SIERRA IS HANGING ON! CAMERON SLAMS HER BACK AGAIN, AND GRABS HER HEAD FROM BEHIND–

(TAG!)

Jake Merer: Cameron rolls her forward, and Sierra scrambles back up! Both women rush at each other! Cameron goes for a punch, but Sierra kicks her arm away! She grabs her by the arm and whips her! However, Cameron flips the momentum around and whips her towards her corner instead–

Flannery McCoy: AND SIERRA IS MEET WITH A FLYING SIENNA JADE! FLIPPING SEATED SENTON! Bradford pops up out of instinct, but she stumbles into the corner! And Sienna is on her hands and knees– WAIT, WHAT??! WHAT DID WE JUST SEE?!

Stew-O: PERHAPS SOME UNINTENTIONAL TEAMWORK AS CAMERON ELLA AVA SPRANG UP, USING SIENNA’S BACK AS A LAUNCHING PAD! SHE CLOBBERED SIERRA BRADFORD WITH A LEAPING ‘WONDER WOMAN PUNCH’!! CAMERON ROLLS OUT OF THE RING, SITTING ON THE APRON TO RECOVER!

Jake Mercer: OH MY GOD! AND SIENNA WASTES NO TIME GETTING ON THE TOP ROPE! SIERRA IS DOWN ON THE MAT! SIENNA JADE WITH THE MOONSAULT?!

Flannery McCoy: YES! ‘STARSTRUCK’!! SHE GETS ALL OF IT! SHE MAINTAINS THE BODY PRESS, PINNING BRADFORD!


ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!


TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–

Stew-O: MEI SASAKI BREAKS IT UP! AND ONE HAS TO WONDER THAT IF SHE WAS TAKEN OUT EARLIER, THIS MATCH WOULD’VE BEEN OVER!


Jake Mercer: No doubt about it! Especially since Mei is ATTACKING SIENNA RIGHT NOW! SHE’S JUST STOMPING ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD REPEATEDLY! And the referee steps in, giving them some distance–

Flannery McCoy: TAKEDOWN FROM CAMERON ELLA AVA! MEI GOES ROLLING OUT, CLUTCHING HER MIDSECTION! MEANWHILE, SIENNA HAS SIERRA UP, BUT BRADFORD IS STARTING TO FIGHT BACK! SHE PUNCHES HER IN THE GUT! SHE PUSHES HER AWAY, AS HURT AS SHE IS, AND RUNS IN AFTER HER!

Stew-O: Sienna sends her up and over the ropes! Sierra tumbles to the outside! She and Mei are trying to work their way up, using the apron and each other to support themselves!

Jake Mercer: But in the ring are Cameron Ella Ava and Sienna Jade, watching on! Both Elitsts see the Queen Bees up on their feet, albeit wobbly! They hit the ropes and come right after them!

Flannery McCoy: STEREO SUICIDE DIVE!! MEI AND SIERRA CRASH INTO THE BARRICADE! AND THE FANS CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT THEY ARE WITNESSING HERE!! SIERRA AND CAMERON – THEY’RE ON THE SAME PAGE RIGHT NOW!!

Stew-O: AND CAMERON AND SIENNA LOOK AT EACH OTHER IN SILENT ACKNOWLEDGMENT! THINGS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SMOOTHED OVER, BUT AT LEAST FOR NOW, THEY’RE TAKING THE FIGHT TO THE QUEEN BEES!

Jake Mercer: I think things are going to get real dangerous here for them! Sienna takes a hold of Sierra by her head and sends her back into the ring! The dazed Bradford gets into the corner, trying to stand up! She’s on her feet, but Sienna is right there! DOUBLE KNEE FACEBUSTER! She just got decimated right there!

Flannery McCoy: AND SIENNA ISN’T DONE! SHE ROLLS BACK AND GETS SIERRA UP ALONG WITH HER! SNAP DDT! WHAT A SEQUENCE! SIERRA LOOKS OUT OF IT AS SIENNA COVERS HER!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–

Stew-O: SHOULDER UP! Still, things are looking dire for the Queen Bees! Sienna gets Sierra up and drops her with a neckbreaker! Sienna rolls back into a mounted position and starts to lay in some serious punches onto her! She’s looking to try and ends things here!

Jake Mercer: She certainly is! She drags Sierra up and sets her up… ‘CLAPBACK’! GORY SPECIAL LANDS FLUSH! SIERRA LOOKS LIKE SHE’S COMPLETELY OUT OF IT NOW!

Flannery McCoy: SHE IS! SIENNA STEPS OUT ONTO THE APRON, YELLING AT HER TO GET UP! SIERRA IS JUST BARELY MOVING! SIENNA GRINS, REALZING THAT SHE HAS THIS! BRADFORD GETS UP TO HER KNEES, THEN STAGGERS TO HER FEET…

Stew-O: AND SIENNA JADE GOES TO SPRING UP, LOOKING FOR THE ‘RAW SIENNA’–

Jake Mercer: – BUT SHE’S STOPPED BY MEI SASAKI! SHE HAS HER BY THE FEET, BRINGING HER BACK DOWN TO THE APRON! GOTTA SAY, THAT’S QUICK-THINKING BY HER, EVEN IF SHE’S HURT!


Flannery McCoy: AND MEI JUST YANKED HER LEG, CAUSING SIENNA TO DROP BACK-FIRST ONTO THE APRON! SIENNA GROANS IN PAIN, ROLLING BACK INTO THE RING!

Stew-O: AND HERE COMES CAMERON! SHE COMES RUNNING IN, CATCHING MEI WITH A CLOTHESLINE! SHE GRABS HER AND STARTS TO ATTACK WITH A NASTY COMBO OF FOREARMS TO THE FACE!

Jake Mercer: Mei is fighting back, though! She strikes her with a SLAP ACROSS THE FACE! THAT WAS NOT SOFT AT ALL!


Flannery McCoy: CAMERON ISN’T HAPPY AT ALL! SHE SLAPS HER BACK! BUT MEI SLAPS HER AGAIN! SASAKI AND AVA ARE CLUBBING EACH OTHER, GOING NUTS! THEY’RE GRABBING EACH OTHER BY THE HEAD AS THE WAIL AT ONE ANOTHER!

Stew-O: And Sierra Bradford runs! She slides down, catching Cameron with a baseball slide! She goes down! Now, Sierra exits, limping due to the damage she’s sustained! However, she joins Mei’s side and the two begin to stomp down on Cameron!

Jake Mercer: This doesn’t look good! Sierra has Cameron up, trapping her arms! She’s defenseless! And there’s Mei, looking on with a smirk! I think we know what’s gonna happen here!


Flannery McCoy: She can’t fight back! Sierra has her set up and Mei kicks her in the stomach! And again! Mei takes a step back and… oh no! I think she’s gonna hit it here–

Sienna Jade: (off-mic) *BLEEP* YOU!

Stew-O: ‘STARSTRUCK’!! SIENNA JADE JUST FLEW THROUGH THE AIR AND CRASHES DOWN ON THEM!

Jake Mercer: AS IN ALL OF THEM! SHE JUST LANDED ON MEI, SIERRA AND EVEN HER OWN PARTNER, CAMERON!! OH MY GOD!! WAS THAT EVEN INTENTIONAL?!

Flannery McCoy: I– I DON’T THINK SO! LOOK AT SIENNA’S FACE! SHE’S UP AND SEES THAT CAMERON IS DOWN! IT’S LIKE SHE’S SUPRISED AT WHAT HAPPENED! IT’S JUST BEEN MISHAP AFTER MISHAP, AND JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE STARTING TO WORK WELL TOGETHER!

Referee: ONE!

Stew-O: It’s hard to make out which of the three took that moonsault worse. However, what isn’t hard is the fact that he official has started the ten count!

Referee: TWO!

Jake Mercer: It may suck, but Sienna’s gotta try and close out the match! I think she realizes it, too! She takes hold of Sierra and starts to attack with some forearms!

Referee: THREE!

Flannery McCoy: And she whips Sierra into the steel steps! She goes down! Now, Sienna turns her attention over to Mei! She kicks at her!


Sienna Jade: (off-mic) Don’t you EVER grab me like that again!

Referee: FOUR!


Stew-O: Sienna’s making Mei pay for costing what could’ve been a win by now! She picks her up… and she DROPS HER DOWN! FISHERMAN’S SUPLEX!

Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD! SHE JUST PLANTED HER WITH THE ‘RDG’!! ON THE OUTSIDE!! I DON’T THINK SHE’S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM FOR MUCH LONGER!!

Referee: FIVE!


Stew-O: Sienna is smirking! She turns her attention over to Sierra who’s trying to get back on her feet! However, she’s struggling!

Referee: SIX!


Jake Mercer: And she’s the legal partner for her team! Sienna grabs her and lifts her up into the air! ‘RDG’ AGAIN! SIENNA JADE JUST CLEARED HOUSE!

Referee: SEVEN!

Flannery McCoy: She’s not wasting time! She rolls her back into the ring! Sierra is out in the ring, and Mei is down on the outside! Sienna hops on to the apron!

Referee: EIGHT!

(Just as Sienna is about to break the count, someone pulls her down. A sudden explosion of reactions stem from the fans.)

Stew-O: WAIT! CAMERON ELLA AVA TOOK HER DOWN! AND SHE SHOVES HER!

Flannery McCoy: OH, NO, COME ON! NOT LIKE THIS! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!

Jake Mercer: IT WAS INEVITABLE!

Sienna Jade: (off-mic) Are you stupid?! Don’t touch me again!


Cameron Ella Ava: (off-mic) I’ll do it again, especially since you can’t be trusted! I KNEW this was going to happen! You can’t be a mature woman for ONE MINUTE!

Sienna Jade: (off-mic) Excuse you? You freaking idiot, I didn’t mean to–

Cameron Ella Ava: (off-mic) And you want me to buy that?

Referee: NINE!


Sienna Jade: (off-mic) Look, maybe you hit your head too hard on the way down and all, but we have a match to win! THE REFEREE IS COUNTING! Now, who is being the baby again out of the two of us! Why, it’s none other than the perpetual victim, Cameron Ella Ava!

Cameron Ella Ava: (off-mic) I’m the perpetual victim, huh?

Flannery McCoy: AND CAMERON SHOVES HER AGAIN! SIENNA SHOVES HER BACK! BUT LOOK! THE REFEREE IS STILL GOING–

Referee: TEN! RING THE BELL!

Stew-O: – AND THAT’S IT! SIENNA IS COUNTED OUT!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(A stunned silence blankets the fans as ‘Run This Town’ plays. Sierra Bradford is able to use the ropes to help herself up, though she nearly falls after having to deal with heavy offense. Me Sasaki rolls into the ring gingerly. The two women look on, almost in disbelief, before they turn to see Cameron and Sienna arguing with each other. The two Queen Bees member piece two and two together, and then, they laugh.)

Stephie Love: Here are your winners… THE QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

(The fans are left booing. Sierra and Mei continue to cackle as they take their leave. They help one another up the entrance aisle, raising their free arms into the air in victory.)

(Meanwhile, by ringside, things take for a nasty turn.)

Stew-O: CAMERON AND SIENNA ARE SLUGGING IT OUT NOW! PUNCH AFTER PUNCH LANDS! THEY’RE JUST GOING AT EACH OTHER!


Jake Mercer: CAMERON KICKS SIENNA IN THE GUT AND PUSHES HER BACK-FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! SIENNA WINCES! CAMERON REELS HER ARM BACK AND STEPS FORWARD! ‘WONDER WOMAN PUNCH’–

Flannery McCoy: –NO! SIENNA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! CAMERON SPINS, BUT SIENNA THRUSTS HER SHOULDER INTO HER, CRASHING HER INTO THE BARRICADE HERSELF! SHE TAKES HOLD OF HER HEAD AND UNLEASHES A WICKED UPPERCUT! SHE STEPS BACK AND RUNS IN–

Stew-O: – BUT SHE GOES OVER THE BARRICADE AS CAMERON SENDS HER UP AND OVER! SHE DOESN’T GO CRASHING, THOUGH! SIENNA LANDED ON HER FEET! SHE GRABS CAMERON BY THE HAIR AND DRAGS HER OVER THE BARRICADE! NOW, THE TWO ARE BACK TO PUNCHING ONE ANOTHER!


Jake Mercer: THIS IS ONE BIG FIGHT! AND THE FANS WHO WERE UPSET AT THE RESULT ARE NOW GETTING THEIR FILL OF BRUTALITY AS WE HAVE A BRAWL ON OUR HANDS! SIENNA! CAMERON! THEY’RE JUST INTENT ON KILLING EACH OTHER HERE!

Flannery McCoy: THEY’RE JUST FIGHTING AROUND THE ARENA! NOTHING BUT PUNCHES, KICKS AND BODY BLOWS!

Stew-O: AND SECURITY COMES RUNNING IN, TRYING TO CATCH UP TO THEM! IT’S LIKE A VIOLENT TORNADO CIRCULATING THROUGH THE STATE FARM ARENA! SIENNA AND CAMERON’S SCRAPING ARE LEADING THEM OUT!

(Chaos continues. Sienna and Cameron unleash attack after attack on each other. The two Elitists continue to fight each other out through the doors. The last shot we see is of security making a bee-line over the barricade and running towards those doors before Dynasty fades to commercials.)

(A commercial is shown for 1-800-GAMBLER starring Jake Smith.)

( ‘O Fortuna’ by Carl Orff would blast through the P.A System as Madison Kaline makes her entrance here on Friday Night Dynasty. She is being received with a somewhat negative reaction following her appearance on Voltage as she walks to the ring with a mean smirk on her face. )

Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME… SHE IS THE MISTRESS OF DEATH…MADISON KALINE!

Stew-O: Madison Kaline has a lot of explaining to do, following the attack on the partners of her Pain for Pride opponent ARIA, The Ice Aces! It was right after ARIA’s match against Rory Slate in which Madison laid out an horrific attack on the Ice Aces using a Barbed Wire Baseball Bat. Why in the world would she do this?

Jake Mercer: I’m sure whatever reason Maddie has for attacking Usgai and Ayu, it’s a good one. In my personal opinion, I think it was deserved.

Flannery McCoy: Shut up, Jake. Madison clearly has a smirk on her face, clearly has some sort of motive to involve The Ice Aces into her Pain for Pride match with The Sacred Detective. ARIA’s partners had nothing to do with it and Madison had decided to get in the head of ARIA with that attack. We’ll see what she has to say.

( Madison Kaline climbs up the stair-steps and enters the ring as she picks up a microphone. ‘O Fortuna’ would begin to fade out here in the State Farm Arena. She stands in the middle of the ring looking at the audience who are booing her from the attack she laid on The Ice Aces. Madison waits for the boos to settle down as she begins to speak. )

Madison Kaline: I know what everybody here must be thinking, I know what everybody who’s watching right now on their television screen must be thinking, and even myself, why? Why did I attack Usgai and Ayu on Voltage last week? Did I have a deeper meaning to attack The Ice Aces? I keep asking myself why I would do such a malicious thing and the real truth about it is that… I felt like it.

( The crowd here in Atlanta would boo even more for Madison, as Maddie waits for the crowd to stop with their noise as she continues on with what she is saying. )

Madison Kaline: ARIA, I said it before and I’ll say it again, facing you at Pain for Pride is a downgrade for me. I don’t value you as much as any other opponents I’ve faced. I mean look what I was doing last year at Pain for Pride, I was competing against Amber Keys! My former Queen’s Court stablemate, and I defeated her soundly in the middle of this ring. If I faced off someone at Pain for Pride, as legendary as Amber Keys, facing you is yet again why you are a downgrade. If I wasn’t so damn stubborn as you are ARIA, then I wouldn’t have needed to face you at Pain for Pride. I could have done something better but instead you just had to push my buttons, you just had to rile me up and accept your challenge at Pain for Pride.

(The crowd would continue to boo Madison, as chants began to be directed towards Maddie as she seemed unfazed from the EAW faithful here in Atlanta. She continues to speak. )

Madison Kaline: I’ve been put in this awkward position, and I figured why not spice things up. Why not make it worth my time for my own amusement and I did exactly that with your weak little partners as the victims. So it doesn’t really surprise me that the match I have on Voltage this week is happening, which so happens to be me teaming alongside ARIA to battle her little friends Usgai Senshi, and Ayu Megumi. I’m sure the Ice Aces want their grubby little revenge on The Mistress of Death, and I’m sure they’ll try to rip me apart but I don’t see that happening all things considered.

( Madison stops to catch her breath as the fans here in Atlanta are not on Maddie’s side whatsoever. Madison then continuous to speak… )

Madison Kaline: ARIA, I want you to listen very carefully to what I’m going to say regarding this up-coming matchup against Usagi and Ayu. I don’t give a damn what you think, I couldn’t care less because you’re going to cling on to every word I say to you in our match. Follow the leader, which is going to be me. I’m going to be the one directing traffic, and you’re gonna let me do what I do best. I’m going to do whatever I want and if you don’t like that ARIA, if that doesn’t sit well with you… You can kiss my ass!

( Madison drops her microphone to the ground as once again ‘O Fortuna’ by Carl Orff plays here in the arena. Madison would taunt the crowd here in Atlanta as she leaves the ropes and makes her way to the ramp. )

Stew-O: Wow, what a statement from Maddie here tonight. She just felt like attacking The Ice Aces, all for her own enjoyment?

Flannery McCoy: If I was ARIA right now, I would be fuming and I wouldn’t even know how I would hold my comporse If I had to team with this women to face off against the two women that are my allies. ARIA must have some tough cells in her body, if she’s going to hold herself together while teaming with her Pain for Pride opponent.

Jake Mercer: We’ll see how that match plays out on Voltage in the coming days, will ARIA follow Madison’s lead for their match, or will ARIA obey the orders given by the Mistress of Death. Should be interesting.

( The final shot would see Madison making her way through the ramp and onto the stage as she looks back on the crowd. She gives out yet another smirk as she makes her way to the back. The segment fades out. )

(A commercial is shown for Spider-Man: Across The Spider Verse Part 1.)

(Dynasty fades back to the ringside area of the State Farm Arena. All of a sudden, ‘Tupac Back’ by Meek Mill blares throughout the vicinity, causing the Atlanta crowd to cheer! Sure enough, he was back: Cy Henderson, that is.)

Stew-O: What an ovation! I’d say it’s even larger than the reception he got at Grand Rampage!

Flannery McCoy: It’s always good when an icon is around, let alone one like Cy Henderson. Seeing as how Cy is here to try and keep the peace too, I’m sure there are some that are glad he’s here to ensure nothing gets too intense between Viz and Scott.

Jake Mercer: I mean, drama always makes Pain for Pride season a whole lot fun! I’m glad to see Cy around, don’t get me wrong, but do we really need an enforcer involved in this?

Flannery McCoy: Uh, yes? Especially when we already have plenty of matches leading up that have a LOT of bad blood involved. Let’s not also forget how Viz and Scott can get when they’re in this sort of position.

Jake Mercer: 🤷🏻

(Dressed simply in denim pants and a long sleeved shirt, the EAW legend acknowledges the hyped-up crowd that’s chanting for him. He makes his way down the entrance ramp and enters the ring. There are already three chairs laid out, along with a table. Cy heads on over and makes his way over to the center chair where he stands behind it. Soon, his theme fades, leaving behind the chants of the fans.)

Crowd: CY! CY! CY! CY!

(Cy can’t help but chuckle. Eventually, he raises his hand up, beginning to speak.)

Cy Henderson: Hello to you guys as well. I know we’ve already met up again a couple of months back, but it’s nice being able to officially speak with you.

(Cy nods, letting the crowd react positively. Still, there are matters he has to attend to — and those matters are the reason why he’s out tonight. The topic shifts his focus.)

Cy Henderson: Tonight, however, isn’t about me. At least for the foreseeable future, I don’t have any intention of coming back and fully scrapping again. I’m not here for vanity purposes. However, I am here because things have gotten quite interesting between two specific people.

(The vague mention of Scott Diamond and the Visual Prophet’s budding feud draws out a mixed reaction from the Atlanta crowd.)

Cy Henderson: Granted, it probably would’ve been nice to get a match at Pain for Pride, but that doesn’t make my involvement any less important. Tyrone and I spoke last week, and he made it clear that he wanted me around to make sure that things don’t get two crazy between Scott and Viz. We’ve seen our fair share of conflict and fights between them already, and while I’m sure some of you don’t mind that extra, hefty piece of beef, Tyrone wanted to make sure that nothing else occurs. The beauty of Pain for Pride season is that every Elitist here is wanting to make some definitive statements leading up to the event, especially when it comes to having the upper hand over their opponents. However, that’s often a double-edged sword. It’s safe to say that so many little things can become easily-combustible elements that can cause a wildfire, and while it can be entertaining, it can also be a nuisance to deal with. There’s still got to be some level of order here, folks!

(Cy laughs.)

Cy Henderson: I know. It sounds a little too corporate, but that’s just the truth. And now that things have kind of mellowed out a bit, I actually want to talk to both Scott and Viz personally.

(The fans peek up, chattering and muttering amongst themselves.)

Flannery McCoy: No wonder why everything’s set up in the ring. I guess we’re gonna have an actual conversation here… or, at least that’s the hope. I still feel a little uneasy.

Jake Mercer: How much you two wanna bet that someone gets put through that table?

Stew-O: You still have money after Grand Rampage?

Jake Mercer: Shut up!

(Cy looks around, slowly nodding his head.)

Cy Henderson: I get it. It could be a risk. However, since it’s my job to make sure things don’t continue to deteriorate, I can promise you all that if Scott Diamond or The Visual Prophet try to step out of line, well…

(The camera focuses on the more serious look on Cy’s face.)

Cy Henderson: I’ll be sure to step in before things can truly kick off.

(The prospect alone gets the fans excited, wishing they could see Henderson in action. Still, Cy’s priorities are elsewhere. He takes his seat, going back to a more calm, easy-going demeanor.)

Cy Henderson: And now that we’ve got that out of the way… gentlemen? You guys can come out whenever you want.

(Cy turns his attention over to the stage. So do the fans. Everyone waits patiently, looking to see who will be the first to step out.)

(They get their answer in the form of ‘Toad’ by Justin Hurwitz playing.)

Jake Mercer: Oh! Well, this is interesting!

Stew-O: Plenty of history between these two! Still, they’re not at opposing ends this time.

Flannery McCoy: Almost a decade to the date when these two faced off — at Pain for Pride, no less. If anyone knows just how truly destructive and unrelenting Scott can be, it’s Cy Henderson.

(Scott Diamond steps out, donning a simple set of jeans, a black shirt and a plaid vest. The fans offer him a varied reaction, those he pays them no mind. His attention is all placed on the ring, along with an Elitist that he is all too familiar with. He gets in the ring, with a ringside crew member handing him a microphone of his own. Scott takes it. His theme fades.)

(He glances at Cy, who simply gives him a smile. Scott can’t help but be tickled by it.)

Scott Diamond: What, are you working to be an interviewer now, too?

(Cy shrugs.)

Cy Henderson: Maybe. I’m just a jack of all trades, you can say.

(Scott takes his seat, to the right of Henderson.)

Scott Diamond: Trying to do everything all at once, like a hero. Not too far off from how you were all those years back.

(The fans cheer, remembering Cy’s return run in 2014.)

Cy Henderson: Guess old habits die hard.

Scott Diamond: Perhaps. Though, it’s always better to be careful than to go through something so gleefully. You never truly know what can go on.

(Cy raises his brow slightly, picking up on Scott’s tone. The atmosphere slowly shifts; an almost chilly feeling hanging in the air. However, Cy isn’t bothered by it one bit. He gives another shrug before replying.)

Cy Henderson: You’re right. People should be careful, and that’s why I’m here, Scott. Knowing you, seeing firsthand what you can do, and how much destruction you can leave before your wake, there’s a reason why Tyrone called me in specifically to handle things between you and Viz.

Scott Diamond: Oh, of course. After all, you were the one who bested me… nine years ago, I think? When I had this whole promotion in my hand and was going to add more into the ash pile I laid in my wake. However, you were the one who managed to restore some bit of hope into this place. It’s a fact even you highlighted last week. The one who took down the Mad Titan, many say.

(Scott snickered.)

Scott Diamond: Still, you don’t need to be so on guard. I don’t even mind having a match against the Visual Prophet. He’s the one who has the aversions to this bout. I simply stepped up to him when he issued an open challenge at Super Dynasty, and then he weaseled out. I’m just more so perplexed by his cowardice.

Cy Henderson: So much so that you spiked him down with ‘The Vortex’, right?

(Scott pauses. Then, he gives a wry smirk.)

Scott Diamond: Just planting a reminder in his head, is all. That he can’t escape from me. You should know all about that, Cy.

Cy Henderson: I do, hence why I’m here. I know you all too well, Scott. I don’t want you trying to get overzealous and starting stuff unnecessarily.

Scott Diamond: Come on. You needn’t lecture me. I’ve said and done what I need to do against Viz already. I’m not this wild, chaotic force that I was years back.

Cy Henderson: Alright. Just want to make sure you remember that.

(Cy and Scott look at each other for a while before ‘5 Milli’ by Icewear Vizzo hits. A mixed reception emerges as the Head Chef in Charge steps out, though Viz doesn’t look like he’s in the mood to cook up anything. In fact, he already has a microphone in his hand.)

Visual Prophet: Oh wow, you guys have history! Who cares?! Don’t nobody wanna be here hearing y’all with your cac soap operas that’s somehow more gentrified than the ones we see on ABC or something. Like, you really think we care about what happened four score and seven white toasts ago on episode one million, six hundred thousand, and five hundred seventy-eight B.V.? Before Viz? And I promise you, everyone here remembers all of my Pain for Pride match than yours. Talking about some, ‘OMGZZZZZ SCOTTY KILLED AND THEN TRIED TO RE-KILL EAW!!!1!!1!!!1!!!!!’. Okay? And?? As if this promotion isn’t still popping. As if this promotion isn’t popping BECAUSE of ME. As if I didn’t carry this promotion more than you two combined.

(The fans boo. Viz presses on down the ramp, looking absolutely annoyed at the two men in the ring.)

Visual Prophet: Get your nostalgia stuff outta here. It’s like someone having to eat some mid, non-sweetened peach cobbler they’re getriatic, senile, one-hundred and five year old granny made and having to lie about that thing still hitting. It’s old, tired, and we don’t want it no more! Besides, who cares about the history you two have? Maybe the fans here who are just as old and irrelevant as you two do, but for the new bloods like me? Or, at least new-ish? We been made history. We have this thing on lock. We don’t need to hear about any of that. After all, aren’t we here to talk about MY match for Pain for Pride?

(Viz gets in the ring and takes his seat. Scott looks on, as if asking himself whether or not he was being for real. Cy, meanwhile, maintains his calm attitude.)

Visual Prophet: Listen, I’m gonna keep it straight – I don’t care if it’s Cy, Ty, Cyclone, Cyborg, or whoever, nobody is going to tell me what to do because I already had enough of that having to deal with SOSA Henderson and his wack ass. No one tells the Visual Prophet what to do here, so you got that messed up, number one. Number two, and this goes out to you Scott with you ol’ spoiled, nasty, fly-infested, tomato-red looking self, dressed up like some common hick here in Georgia, don’t ever run your mouth so loosely about me being some coward. You should show some respect in fact to someone who is in the hall of fame. The Visual Prophet never runs away. I simply run on my own time, and given how I’m a former multi-time champ around these parts, I think I have the luxury of being able to pick and choose who to entertain my time towards. You understand? You don’t run me. I run you. Don’t ever get that twisted. Humpty-Dumpty built, toad-looking ingrate. Watch your mouth the next time you got my name in your decrepit, chapped mouth.

(A pause ensues.)

Scott Diamond: … Are you done with your tant–

Visual Prophet: AND ANOTHER THING! I don’t have any issues whatsoever about our match. You wanted, no, needed to get some shine after you couldn’t be bothered to beat Joso outright at Operation: Doomsday or let Limmy punk you despite dominating him throughout the match at Grand Rampage, so what makes you think I would be intimidated by you? You think I’d be scared of a dude who hasn’t even picked up a marquee event despite being the ultra-killer ‘MaD TiTaN’? More like the Washed Titan, because what big win you’ve had all season? Maybe if you weren’t out here moaning about how titles don’t matter or whatever, you coulda been the world heavyweight champion. Instead, you came in like some goofy Dragon Ball villain and got OWNED. HUMBLED. Stupid, goofy, lame-old FRAUD. And after that stunt you pulled with me? You are definitely going to get owned by me.

Scott Diamond: Ha. Wow. You really are heated, huh?

Visual Prophet: I am. So much so that I’m gonna light your ass up, Scotty. Gonna roast you just like I did tonight, but I’m gonna do it inside of the ring.

Scott Diamond: Really? So, now you’re eager to fight me? Even with you running from me the first time around?

Visual Prophet: I am. In fact, I could fight you right now!

Scott Diamond: Oh, now I like to see THAT happen.

(Viz pushes the table away, causing Scott to get right up. The two march forward–)

Cy Henderson: STOP!

(– Before Cy raises his hand out to the middle. Both men halt. They turn their heads towards him. Henderson takes a deep breath before speaking.)

Cy Henderson: … Guys. We already have one Pain for Pride match that’s possibly going to get canceled. Let’s not add this one to that list. Don’t let this match suffer the same fate.

(Scott seems to snap out of his budding rage.)

Scott Diamond: Right.

(He steps back.)

Scott Diamond: If that’s what you want.

(Scott then leaves without a second glance. Cy starts to look relieved. However, as he glances over, he sees the Visual Prophet approaching him.)

Visual Prophet: Look at you, getting involved in business that you shouldn’t even be a part of. From one entitled cac to the next. Always thinking they should insert themselves into different situations.

Cy Henderson: Really? Is that what you think?

Visual Prophet: Listen to me. Don’t step out of place. You aren’t wanted nor needed here. So, I suggest you stick to your role and don’t try to do more than is required of you. Got it?

(Cy and Viz stare each other down, with the former trying hard to hang on to his patience. Eventually, Viz kisses his teeth and waves him off, leaving the ring. Cy watches on.)

Stew-O: …

Jake Mercer: …

Flannery McCoy: … huh. Somehow, I’m not at peace despite things not breaking out into a fight.

(And it’s a shared sentiment throughout the arena as the fans are noticeably uneasy. The camera closes in on Cy, letting everything that happened digest. He lets out a sigh as Dynasty fades.)

(A commercial is shown for Fast X starring The Woogieman.)

( With the crowd awaiting the next match, ‘Prices’ by Lil Uzi Vert began to blast through the speakers to a wave of boos from the fans in attendance, as Ruler slowly trotted out from the Titan-tron’s entrance, making his way in front of the ramp with a focused gaze on the ring, clearly determined on winning tonight; not letting himself deter his center, as ‘Trophies’ by Drake hit not much longer after, with Joso being the culprit of such a thing, being welcomed in by a UPROAR of cheers from the fans inside of Atlanta, Joso grinning ear to ear as he got side by side with Ruler, the two seemingly reaching a mutual agreement to co-exist; as they made their way down the ramp together, closing in on the ring as Ruler slid in, with Joso going around the side; taking a position on the apron with Ruler getting right into his corner, looking to start off this match for his team. )


Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST… THE TEAM OF RULER, AND JOOOOOSOOOOOO!!!

Stew-O: Now this is an interesting team here – not to say that this whole MATCH isn’t filled with interesting teams, but in the case of Ruler and Joso? This is something I would honestly love to see more.

Jake Mercer: I mean Ruler and Joso are both amazing athletes by themselves, but put together? It’s just a collision that shouldn’t work but it DOES… Hopefully. As long as these two don’t get in each others hair tonight, and don’t get in a raging blood feud after Pain For Pride? What would it be… ‘The No Miss Marauders’? I’m COOKIN’.

Flannery McCoy: Exit the kitchen, and never go back in. Ever.

Jake Mercer: :mjcry:

( As the arena fell a bit silent for the moment, ‘The Dying Song’ played through the speakers to a wave of boos as Shane Gates made his way out of the Titan-Tron’s entrance, a serious look on his face that matches his demeanor as he didn’t wait for Jay to get parallel with him to begin his ring walk as Gates walked down the ramp and inside of the ring, slipping right in as he looked to want to start this match without discussion, as ‘Paradise’ cut through Shane’s theme, getting a nice mix of cheer’s with some boo’s for Jay Jerry Johnson who made his way out to the ring with a grin on his face as he eyed Shane; clearly a whirlwind of thoughts in his own mind as he made his way down to the ring, not arguing at all with Shane’s decision to start off as he just took his place on the apron, neither one of them saying a thing to the other. )

 

Stephie Love: AND THEIR OPPONENTS… THEY ARE THE TEAM OF, JAY JERRY JOHNSON, AND SHANNEEEE GATTESSS!!!!!!

Stew-O: And these two might be an even worse team in terms of chemistry than Joso and Ruler, it seems like they’ve tried to get on good terms with each other this week in promo’s even slightly; but will that be enough to get them on the same page fully ahead of two BIG threats… I’m doubtful.

Jake Mercer: I have to agree, I mean if we were talking about these Elitist’s by themselves? There is no worry in my mind – but together? I could be skeptical. BUT if they are gelling as a team, and if they ARE coming into this looking like possible Tag Team Champions with how well they work together? Then I am ALL here for it. But now as Shane looks to start his team off? Only time will tell.

( Ding ! Ding ! Ding ! )

 

Stew-O: And we are underway in some Dynasty action, as we get to see Ruler and Shane Gates face off for their respective teams; with both Elitist’s not wasting any time to get into the center of the ring to begin with a lock-up!

Jake Mercer: Business as usual for them, Stew. Ruler and Shane feel no need to go through this with any antics, they are here to wrestle so that’s exactly what they are gonna do – and I’m not here to oblige that! As these two have already been engaged in a collar and elbow tie-up, it seems like instead of pushing each other FORWARD, these two wants to drag each other into their OWN corners, and right now it seems like Shane Gates is leading the chase; getting closer and closer to Jay behind him…

TAG!

Flannery McCoy: It seems so far that these two despite their differences are showing a decent amount of team work this week, as Jay quickly comes into the ring with Shane Gates holding Ruler at bay; before Shane lets go JUST in time for Johnson to POUNCE on Ruler with a Chop Block, taking out his foot early in this match as Ruler hits the ground!

Stew-O: And with the tag occurring, Shane still resides in the ring nonetheless; getting onto the middle rope hovering directly over a downed Ruler, before jumping off a SPLASHING the mid-section of his opponent, Gates rolling out directly after as Johnson wastes NO time levying his own offense onto Ruler with a LEG DROP that he uses as a transition into a cover!

OOOOONNNNN-

Jake Mercer: Quick kick out from Ruler to an even quicker pin attempt from Jay Jerry Johnson – who INSTANTLY grabs Ruler’s arm to lock into an arm bar, looking to wear down Ruler early; but Ruler instantly grabbing the ropes with one hand as the count goes up!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

Stew-O: And Jay letting go quickly, popping up to his feet; but so does Ruler! These two Elitist’s feeling a bit springy today, extremely reactionary and it is paying off for us audience members; as now Jay swings with a forearm shot, Ruler though ducking swiftly as he raises his leg up to land a swift kick to Jay’s midsection… But another evasion as Jay block the kicks with his hand – BUT RULER USING HIS OTHER LEG TO LAND A KNEE SHOT RIGHT INTO THE JAW OF JAY!!!

Flannery McCoy: YIKES, that one released a bit of spit from Jay’s mouth just off IMPACT – BUT Jay not necessarily taken out from that as he drops Ruler’s leg, AND SPINS AROUND WITH AN ELBOW TO ROCK RULER DIRECTLY INTO THE TEMPLE!

Stew-O: Both these Elitist seem to be on wobbly legs now, though still very headstrong with each other; as Jay looks to rebuttal off of his first strike with a forearm to the jaw of Ruler, though Ruler ducking right under it – and Ruler just ROLLING away into the middle of the ring away from Jay in the corner, evasion tactics being shown as Ruler is looking to get to his corner for a tag… BUT JAY GRABS HIS LEG FROM BEHIND WHILE RULER TRIED GETTING UP TO HIS FEET!


Jake Mercer: Good catch by Jay, as Ruler slowly hops up to a vertical position with his other foot, turning around to face Jay… BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SHOCK JAY WITH AN ENZIGURI – BUT JAY DUCKS IT!

Flannery McCoy: Ruler now sent BACK down to the mat, with no foundation to stand on after that miss; as Jay grabs Ruler’s other leg, quickly dragging him into the middle of the ring… Before locking in a Boston Crab onto his opponent, Ruler downed in the center of the ring as he continues to remain calm in the face of adversity; though Johnson locking that Boston Crab in TIGHTLY!

Stew-O: And these two can be very technical wrestlers, easily showcased by the back and forth they are having, as Ruler keeps himself poised under pressure; clearly in pain but not making a showcase of it as he looks to crawl over to the ropes, getting closer and closer… But Jay lifts himself up off of Ruler slightly, just enough to drag him back towards the middle of the ring!

Jake Mercer: HOLD ON THOUGH, that ‘slight’ lift-up wasn’t SLIGHTLY enough for Ruler to not take advantage of it, as that gave him just enough stretch on his legs to FLING Jay off of him and forward to drape over the middle rope; Ruler managing to escape unconventionally here, as he quickly jumps over to his corner –

TAG!

Stew-O: And Ruler placing Jay in a PERFECT position for Joso to take over as the tag is successful, Joso SPRINGING over the top rope and into the ring, as he quickly runs forward… AND A MISSILE DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF JAY’S HEAD who rebounds off of the middle rope after that impact, backtracking right into the middle of the ring, with Joso running to the ropes and lurching off the bottom rope, soaring in the sky – AND TAGGING JAY WITH A CUTTER DOWN TO THE MAT, COVERR!!!


OOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

 

TTTWWWOOOOOOOO–

Stew-O: And JAY KICKING OUT!!


Flannery McCoy: Jay knowing that he needs to stay strong in this match until he can get that tag out, Joso though not looking to let up in the slightest as he pulls up Johnson to his feet, WHIPPING him into the corner away from either one of these Elitist’s corners, as Jay hangs his arms over the top ropes; draping himself which seems to work PERFECTLY for Joso who reels his arm backwards –

SMACK!

Jake Mercer: OOF, BEFORE MARKING JAY’S CHEST WITH A MASSIVE CHOP! I mean you can see the red ALREADY forming around Johnson’s left pec, though Jay still somehow on his feet; pain still on his face as Joso reels back again – AND ANOTHER CHOP! AND ANOTHER! AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN! JOSO LIGHTING UP JAY’S CHEST; BEFORE BLASTING TOWARDS THE ROPES, REBOUNDING OFF OF THEM AND BACK TO JAY… BIG BOOT! HUGE BIG BOOT TO THE HEAD OF JAY WHO FALLS OUT OF THE CORNER AND BACK DOWN TO THE MAT!

Stew-O: And Joso moving like a locomotive, scaling up the ropes here and not looking back, turning around to face Jay who is lying down in the center of the ring now, Joso looking to take air here as he begins to rise – BEFORE JUMPING OFF THE ROPE, FLIPPING INTO THE AIR AS HE LOOKS FOR A MOONSAULT ONTO JAY – BUT SHANE JUMPED OFF THE APRON AND REACHED FOR JAY’S HAND, DRAGGING HIM OUT OF THE DANGER ZONE AND SENDING JOSO CRASHING DOWN TO THE MAT!!!

Flannery McCoy: What a SAVE by Shane who Jay should be THANKING for that, as Gates jumps back on the apron, with Jay resting at the bottom rope close to where Shane is awaiting a tag, as a FURIOUS Ruler in his own corner tries to warn Joso of what is about to happen….

TAG!

Jake Mercer: BUT IT’S TOO LATE AS JAY JUMPS FORWARD AND GETS SHANE WHO JUMPS THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND JUST CLUBS JOSO IN THE BACK BEFORE HE CAN GET UP!!!!

Stew-O: Shane Gates playing his plan out PERFECTLY as he wastes no time picking Joso back up, and LAUNCHING him into his teams own respective corner head first as Joso’s skull REBOUNDS off of the top turnbuckle, sending him down into a seated position in a DANGEROUS place now, unfamiliar territory to his own team as Shane begins to STOMP out Joso in the corner!


Jake Mercer: And he continues for as long as he can until the referee pulls him off, making sure this match is following the guidelines of a normal wrestling bout; a Jay now is managing to get back up in his corner, making a tag away if things go south viable for Shane; with his team now CLEARLY leading this match-up, as Gates pulls up a slumped Joso, placing him in a vertical position before LIFTING him onto the top turnbuckle , following right behind him; and I think things are about to get a little high-octane!


Flannery McCoy: Yes, as now these two are both trying to STAND on the top rope – though Joso sending a couple gut shots to Shane, trying to get some control here; but ONE clubbing blow to the back of Joso is all that Shane needs to keep control, as Gates dips his head under Joso’s shoulder, getting a good grip on Joso’s arm and his lower back, and I think we know what’s about to happen here, as Shane lifts Joso up…. AND THESE TWO FLY OFF THE TOP ROPE AS SHANE GOES FOR AND LANDS A SUPER-PLEX ONTO JOSO, QUICKLY TRANSITIONED INTO A COVER!!!!


OOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!


TTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

THHR–

Stew-O: BUT JOSO KICKS OUT! Joso not taking himself out yet, as Ruler NEARLY jumped through the middle rope to try and break the pin, though luckily there was no need as Joso stays in this match-up for his team; with Shane being sent right back to the drawing board, though that drawing board might not be filled with ideas; as it seems like Gates has one sole option in mind…

Jake Mercer: I can agree on that analysis, as Shane finally is beginning to get up, looking down at Joso as he continues to size him up; looming over him as I wouldn’t be stupid to believe we might see that ‘Iron-Claw’ Chokeslam he uses so EASILY to get opponents down for good, as Joso is finally beginning to stir; playing directly into Shane’s hands as Joso begins to get vertical, SHANE READY TO LET LOOSE…

Flannery McCoy: AND SHANE GRABBING JOSO UP, LIFTING HIM INTO THE AIR AS HE LOOKS TO SET HIM DOWN WITH A ‘RECKONING’ — BUT JOSO ESCAPES THE GRIP OF SHANE’S MID-AIR, AND LANDING A RECOIL DIRECTLY ONTO SHANE, DROPPING HIS OPPONENT AS JOSO NOW GETS AN OPENING!!!


Jake Mercer: Joso being resourceful as ever and doing EXACTLY what he had to do to make a tag option viable, as Shane is STUNNED on the side of the ring, Joso getting exactly the time he needs to make the quick tag to Ruler who is calling for it; here it comes !

TAG!

Flannery McCoy: AND RULER’S BACK IN! RULER’S BACK IN THiS MATCH, as he now begins to hawk down Shane who is downed in the ring, pouncing onto him as he levies a MULTITUDE Of forearm shots into his dome; not letting up as he plans to inflict all the pain he can to seal this match up completely, finally getting off of a downed Shane as he calls for him to get up, Ruler practically SEETHING to land the finishing blow as Gates begins to gets to his feet, and like a deer in headlights –

Stew-O: ‘REVOLUTIONIZER!!!’ THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK CONNECTS… NO! SHANE GATES DUCKED IT! SHANE DUCKED THE KICK AS RULER SPINS AROUND – ‘DEAD MAN!!!!’ THE SITOUT SIDE POWERSLAM LANDING ON RULER WHO DIDN’T EXPECT IT IN THE SLIGHTEST, AND NOW SHANE GATES HAS AN OPENING! SHANE NOT GOING FOR THE PIN, HE’S LOOKING TO TAG OUT AND ALLOW JAY TO PUT THIS ONE OVER!!!!

Jake Mercer: AND JAY REACHING OUT, THIS COULD BE IT; SHANE GATES CRAWLING FORWARD, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR, HERE WE GO TAG–

Flannery McCoy: Wait… Wait WHAT?!


( The camera pans to Jay who quickly jumps off the apron before Shane can get the tag, wagging his finger in the air slowly as he sighs, putting his hands on his hips before raising an eyebrow; grinning for a moment as Shane looks on, confused… Before turning absolutely livid. )

Jay Jerry Johnson (off-mic): I’ve got a thing I got to go to, you’ll understand yeah? Good luck with this, try and get me my win.

Stew-O: Is Jay… Leaving? He is! Jay’s leaving Shane high and dry here and Shane is rightfully SPITEFUL about it all, Gates had put his differences aside and was a team player this match, and Jay is making him regret ALL of that as Shane slowly gets to his feet, staring down Jay who continued to trail up the ramp; not looking to have a change of heart here as Shane is forced to turn back to this match-up to try and win alone –

Jake Mercer: ‘REVOLUTIONIZER!!!!’ THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK EVISCERATES SHANE WHO WAS TOO DISTRACTED WITH JAY TO REALIZE RULER GOT TO HIS FEET QUICKLY, AND SHANE HITS THE MAT COLD AS RULER PULLS HIM INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, COVERRR!!!!!

OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!


TTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!


THHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

( Ding! Ding! Ding! )

Stephie Love: AND HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS… THE TEAM OF, JOSO AND RUULLLERRRRRRRRRR!!!!

Stew-O: And as GREAT of a win as this is for Joso and Ruler, the real highlight of this match was Jay Jerry Johnson BETRAYING Shane Gates in this match and walking out on him, which lead to Shane Gates getting blindsided and KICKED out of his body by Ruler to claim the win tonight!


Jake Mercer: Well we know this clearly isn’t going to sit well when Shane Gates finds Jay Jerry Johnson and confronts him about this, although clearly Jay isn’t scared of Gates; we’ll surely find out soon enough if that decision to undermine Shane is smart in itself…

Flannery McCoy: Nevertheless, congratulations to Ruler and Joso who performed as an ACTUAL team tonight unlike their opponents, as Ruler picks up a win and MOMENTUM en route to Pain For Pride this season as him and Joso are set for Cash in the Vault!

( The camera pans to Joso and Ruler who are now both standing in the ring, the two sharing a nod as ‘Prices’ by Lil Uzi Vert continues to play through the speakers; with Shane Gates rolled outside the ring, being tended to by medical and Jay Jerry Johnson already far on his way to the back, unseen by the arena as the camera slowly faded to black, heading to commercial. )

(A commercial is shown for this week’s episode of Sunday Night Voltage, being headlined by Drake King, Methuselah, and Yhwach O’Hara against the #DisneyBesties.)

(Slowly, the Dynasty broadcast would begin to fade back in from commercial break, as the camera returns to an angle panning backwards from the empty ring. It slowly retreats from a close up shot of the entire squared circle, eventually making its way into a complete long shot of the State Farm Arena, in Atlanta Georgia, where we see a crowd gathered from all across the state to be here, sporting numerous different shirts from EAWShop.com. Eventually, however, the camera would tilt, as it pans its way over to the stage, where we see the titantron and mini-tron, alongside the LED walls and the black reflective ramp. The crowd would be settled, however, eventually, that settlement would be interrupted as one of the most recognizable theme songs in EAW blares through the speaker system – ‘Runnin’ by 21 Savage & Metro Boomin floods through the arena, and the entire arena comes unglued. Metaphorically, the crowd reaction – the large portion of cheers – would clash against ‘Runnin’ as if it were a contest, a duel of strength, and audibly, the crowd would be winning, as Bronson Daniels’ graphics play on the titantron.)

Stew-O: And here comes one of the most BELOVED men in all of professional wrestling. A man whose journey is so relatable, found deep within us, a journey of constant heartbreak, yet constant drive due to the passion of what he have towards something. Whether it be as simple as a game, or as large as a relationship, Bronson Daniels just cannot quit and we feel it.

Flannery McCoy: I couldn’t have said it better myself, Stew-O, Bronson has captured the hearts of the fans this season practically being a dark horse on the roster, and they love him. He’s always come so close, but so far, and this constant drive resonates with people. They just want him to succeed. They want him to finish this story. They want to be part of the journey, so they can be proud to watch it unfold. However, Andre Walker as of recent has taken offense to this.

Jake Mercer: Rightfully so! Who does this Bronson guy think he is? LeBron? Let me tell you, he doesn’t shoot the B-Ball like my homie, and he definitely doesn’t wrestle like my Samoan Kaiser, no sir!

Flannery McCoy:…You haven’t watched a single basketball game, have you?

Jake Mercer: Cannot hear you. My Japanese legends are calling me.

(Bronson Daniels makes his way down the ramp, sporting a Miles Morales jersey, black jeans, and Air Jordans, as he looks completely focused on the sign looming above the ring; Pain For Pride. Not physically, not literally, however, his focus on the ring, his expressions, he may as well be looking at that sign, because all he sees is the event coming in two weeks time. Bronson makes his way around the ring, grabbing a microphone, before he slides up onto the apron. Entering the ring, Bronson stares directly down the hardcam, and poses, before he retreats to the center of the ring. ‘Runnin’ fades out, as Bronson begins to stand, alone, with the crowd cheering him on.)

Bronson Daniels: You know, the history between myself and Andre Walker is definitely… something. I’m sure this is the same for everyone else, but I never expected that man to become my polar opposite, my arch nemesis in my career, he was just an opponent to me until it became much more personal. Now, more than ever. I had to listen to what he said last week, and to be honest, it wasn’t anything new. It was the same old “failure, failure, failure” story and to be honest it is getting extremely tiresome. Andre wants to create a narrative because it hasn’t gone the way I’d hoped whereas for him it has, and realistically, I’ll bite. I always would have, there ain’t no other way I was bout to react to it. “What’s going to make the difference now? Heartbreak? Experience? Anger? Trusting the process?” Word for word what Andre said last week, word for word what has been stuck in my mind for the past seven days. Truly, it has not left. Not a word of it left my skull, not a breath left my brain. So, I’ll address the elephant of the room. Statistically speaking, what are the chances I beat Andre at Pain For Pride?

(Bronson pauses for a second…)

Bronson Daniels: Slim.

(The crowd gasps. They didn’t expect it. They expected a more fired up, enraged, sure-of-himself Bronson. But he admitted it. He admitted the knot in the throat that everyone else was feeling.)

Bronson Daniels: Look at our history. Every single match the two of us have had before this, truthfully, just ain’t go my way. I mean, I ain’t gonna sugarcoat it, I lost time and time and time again, I won’t deny that. Interwire Championship, my return match, Elimination Chamber, even before then. He has my number, and it’s just bout eating me up inside. However… while Andre has been sitting at home, on a couch, the only company being himself, and only himself, I have worked my ASS OFF for this. I ain’t some charity case, I ain’t someone begging for sympathy, I’ve damn well worked for everything I got, and I ain’t letting Andre spoil that. I’ve been making sure I get to this level, I been maing sure that I get to where I want to be, so I can reassure myself that I am ready to take that next step, the proverbial leap of faith, in order to reach the spot I have NEVER BEEN ABLE TO. I know that because of that, I am able to beat Andre, and no matter how many times he convinces himself all of my strengths against him are weaknesses, it is going to drain him out, and I WILL come out victorious, you can bank on allat.

Bronson Daniels: You wanna know just how confident I am, Andre? You wanna know just how sure of this fact I am, not overconfident, not delusional, legitimately *sure*? I want to say it to your face. I want you to be a man, have a pair that you have been lacking since your big gold shining armor was ripped away from you all those months ago, leaving you feeling naked and vulnerable, and come down to this ring, step up to me, and listen to me very carefully. It is something I want to tell you directly. It is something I want you to hear from me, personally, and it is something I want you to sit with, because I promise you, laughing me off is not good enough anymore, you are not better than me. Come out here, Andre. You have no other choice. This is more personal than ever.

(Bronson Daniels, facing the titantron, extends his arm as he awaits ‘Leaving Caladan’… however, it never plays. Andre’s theme song never blares through the speakers, though, he does make himself visible. On the titantron, Andre appears, sitting on a black leather chair, inside of his locker room, accompanied by Albert Hitchman directly behind him. Andre smirks, as he shakes his head, clearly having heard every bit of it. We cut back to Bronson, disappointed.)

Bronson Daniels: I had a feeling it’d be like this. So much for that, right?

(Andre laughs.)

Andre Walker: Oh, Bronson. You poor, small, fool. If there is anything that you are truly valuable for, and I promise you, the list runs very small just like the Bronson Daniels gravy train will run very dry soon enough – if there is any value found in you, it is how amusing you are to listen to. It’s like a broken record, really. At first it’s annoying, I mean, imagine listening to your favorite song, and it just starts repeating over, and over, but eventually… all you can do is laugh. I expected this, so I tuned in, and heard exactly what I was thinking. A nasally, unconfident, unsure of himself fool, who has never been able to amount to anything more than dirt on the shoe of the greatest to ever live. I’ve had to watch a man daydream for the past few minutes. I’ve had to watch a man fantasize. I’ve watched a man completely and utterly disconnect from the reality and even then he realized that this isn’t a match for him to win. Because the reality here is, regardless of my hiatus? Regardless of my “Gold suit of armor” Bronson? I am better than you. I always will be. Time, training, effort, experience, drive, willpower, money, and your greatest wish coming true cannot change the course of the inevitable.

Andre Walker: For years now, I have been at an entirely different level. I think people knew this, at some point, long before anything major happened, but the minute my record breaking accolade occurred with the New Breed Championship, it made headlines, it made waves, eyes were opened. I defeated the likes of Mr. DEDEDE, I ran gauntlets, no one could beat me, and I vacated the belt. I haven’t been on the same, pathetic, blood-stained grass that you are walking on since then, because to be honest Bronson, I cannot stand the smell of YOUR blood that has been staining that grass for years on end. I’ve been glad to be removed of that stench, removed of you. I’ve been on a whole other level than the rest of the competition in the past, for quite some time, and to be honest Bronson, there’s nothing to be ashamed of when you’re not quite up to snuff with that. Not many people are. I walk proverbial holy grain in this industry, and you don’t. But, despite everything telling you otherwise, you will convince yourself that it just isn’t true, despite having nothing to show for it. You make yourself believe you’re on my level, and because of that, I have pity.

Andre Walker: I’ve pitied you for quite some time, really. I watch, one because I am amused, two, because I feel sorry for you. I am almost hoping you bring out a new side of you, something fresh, to finally spice things up, because Bronson… you’re a WALKING charity case. Because of that… you don’t deserve my presence out there. You don’t deserve it at all. Not even your own.

(The crowd continues to boo, as Andre smugly stares at the camera, just knowing that Bronson Daniels is not taking too kindly to those words. However, Bronson raises the microphone up.)

Bronson Daniels: Thank you, Andre. Not for your pity, but for conformation. That you ain’t the guy you think you are. That deep down, you’re insecure. I mentioned your “Gold suit of armor” for a reason. You are scared without it. You are hollow without it. That is why you returned at the safest possible time, and you got unlucky. Because you know… had it been any other scenario… it’d be undisputable that the Championship doesn’t embody you. That the Champion is better than you. More importantly, that I am. My goal ends with the World Heavyweight Championship. Yours doesn’t. Your aura is gone, Andre, and it eats you up alive. Your greatest fear came true. Nobody cares anymore but me. You aren’t EAW’s next “IT” boy. And when I beat you, you will truly be alone. Not a single soul willing to listen.

(Andre Walker listens to Bronson, and his smile quickly fades. Bronson’s repeated bashing of Andre no longer being Champion, the fact he has to sit out of that main event match, and the general idea that he has failed his goal despite being an activist against failure… it doesn’t sit well with Andre. Bronson believes that Andre is going to respond, or come down. However…)

Andre Walker: https://media.tenor.com/wm_R0HWjfLEAAAAC/roman-reigns-turns-tv-off.gif

(He shuts his feed off. The titantron goes black. Bronson is left alone. His smile fades too. Bronson shakes his head, and looks down at the mat.)

Stew-O: Wow. These two men may have just pushed each other to another gear. They are getting under one anothers skin by simply not being what the other wanted. After all, that is how this came about. Andre didn’t want Bronson, he wanted the main event. Now? Andre isn’t biting. He refuses.

(Bronson Daniels leans against the ropes, while he did get to say what he wanted to, he had a goal, and it didn’t come to fruition. He wanted Andre out here, and he didn’t. Bronson shakes his head one last time, as the footage fades elsewhere.)

(A commercial is shown for Fortnite featuring Harper Lee.)

(‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj featuring Lil Wayne begins to play through the speakers of the State Farm Arena as the Specialists Champion, Milli Banks comes out, looking chic and confident as she makes her way down the ramp.)

Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING IS A CHAMPION VERSUS CHAMPION MATCH AND IT’S SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!

Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM BROOKLYN, NEW YORK…SHE IS THE EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION… ‘HERMES’….MILLI BANKS!!!!!!!!!

Jake Mercer: In two weeks, Milli Banks defends the Specialists Championship in a 30-minute Ironwoman match! ‘Karma’s End’ is how this match is being coined and honestly, I don’t know what to think going into this match. Earlier in the show, we heard Serenity Valdez not sound like herself towards the end of the segment, but almost like a change of heart?

Stew-O: Do you really buy this, Jake? :mjpls:

Flannery McCoy: Maybe, she did have a change of heart, Stew. Like, instead of her usual Serenity-self, she was left completely speechless by the reality check that Milli Banks provided for her. Maybe, that was all that was needed for Serenity?

Stew-O: I don’t think so and I think that Serenity Valdez is still a puppeteer at work and Milli Banks is the puppet.

(‘DNA’ by Kendrick Lamar replaces ‘Changed It’ as the Interwire Champion, PJ Hendrx comes out looking focused, confident and with all of that swagger. He even banters with Milli Banks from outside the ring.)

Stephie Love: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT…FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA…WEIGHING IN195 POUNDS…HE IS THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION…’PHANTOM’…PJ HENDRIX!!!!!!!!

Jake Mercer: In the case of PJ Hendrx, he will be defending the Interwire Championship against Shane Gates and Jay Jerry Johnson! Two completely different Elitists, who are looking for an opportunity to establish themselves as a star in this company.

Stew-O: It’s been amazing to see PJ Hendrx’s growth this season. From rookie to champion, he took whatever was thrown at him and made the most out of it. It’s been amazing to see him transform into a completely different person. He’s more confident, focused and sure of who he wants to be.

Flannery McCoy: I agree with that, Stew! PJ Hendrx has made the most out of this Specialists Championship reign, winning the title back towards the end of February and still, finding a way to keep it as he enters his first Pain for Pride! He’s got a tough task ahead of him, but going up against Milli Banks is going to be the right test for him!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stew-O: The two Elitists are jogging around, making a small circle as they do! It seems like the two of them are trying to figure out when to make the first move of this match up! This is one of the most important moments of any match up since the first move gives them the opportunity to take this match in any direction that they desire!

Flannery McCoy: AND…the two champions lock up, but it’s Milli Banks, who grabs PJ Hendrx by the wrist and begins to apply a wrist lock as she stands behind him! But, PJ manages to apply a headlock from behind Milli! Milli tries to get PJ up and connects with a back suplex, but PJ manages to flip over and land on his feet! Milli turns herself around as PJ runs after her! He gets behind Milli as he swings his arms around her waist! He lifts up Milli, looking to take her back with a German suplex! BUT, MILLI MANAGES TO KEEP HER FEET PLANTED ON THE GROUND! SHE THROWS AN ELBOW TO PJ’S FACE AS THAT RELEASES HIS GRASP! MILLI HOOKS PJ BY THE ARM AND CONNECTS WITH A HIP TOSS THE SENDS THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION TO A SEATED POSITION!

Jake Mercer: Milli Banks steps on and over the spine on PJ Hendrx as she runs the ropes in front of her! She rebounds off of them and connects with a meteora as she goes for the first pin fall attempt of the match up!

OOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Stew-O: PJ HENDRX SITS HIMSELF UP, BUT HE COUNTERS WITH A ROLL-UP OF HIS OWN ON MILLI BANKS!

OOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Flannery McCoy: Milli Banks rolls herself out of the roll-up attempt! She gets back to her feet as PJ Hendrx does the same thing shortly after! She runs after PJ, but PJ manages to stop her mid-way as he connects with knee to the gut as he pulls Milli up and drops her down with a brain buster on the knee cap! PJ finds himself back to his feet as he follows that up with a switchblade kick to the back of Milli’s neck as that takes her head down! PJ stands himself on top of Milli as he grabs her by the waist! He lifts the Specialists Champion up before taking her back with a German suplex, but with a bridge!

OOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTT—

Jake Mercer: Milli Banks manages to bridge herself up! She spins herself around as PJ Hendrx is spinning around along with her and Milli with a kick to the gut of the Interwire Champion! But, PJ manages to grab onto her foot! Now, it seems like Milli is trying to reason with PJ, but PJ gives a winning smile as he takes her down with a dragon screw leg whip as Milli falls to her side! PJ gets up to his feet as he sees that Milli is finding her way back to a crawling position as PJ rebounds off the set of ropes and connects with an axe kick to the Specialists Champion! BUT, MILLI MANAGES TO SPINE AROUND BACK TO HER FEET AS PJ STUMBLES PAST HER, UNABLE TO CATCH HIS BALANCE! MILLI DELIVERS A KICK TO THE GUT OF PJ HENDRX BEFORE PULLING HIM CLOSER FOR A RIPCORD SLAP ACROSS THE FACE! SHE QUICKLY FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE AS THAT TAKES PJ BACK, BUT HE STUMBLES ONTO HIS KNEE AS MILLI JUMPS ON THE NECK OF THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION AND CONNECTS WITH A POISONED FRAKENSTEINER! ‘MONEY MOVES’ IS EXECUTED FLAWLESSLY, FLANN AND STEW!

Stew-O: PJ Hendrx goes back as he lands in a seated position! Milli Banks turns herself around as she gestures for PJ to get back to his feet! She proceeds to run after PJ as he connects with a running knee strike as that sends PJ back to the corner! Milli keeps her eyes on PJ as she takes several steps back! She looks at PJ before running towards PJ and connects with a running uppercut at the corner! This manages to send PJ forward as Milli follows that up with a floatover snap suplex! PJ is clutching to his chest as he finds his way back to his feet! Milli runs after PJ and connects with a double knee face breaker to the face! This causes PJ to fall back to the horizontal set of ropes!

Flannery McCoy: Milli Banks runs after PJ Hendrx as she looks to connect with a double knee facebreaker once more, but PJ manages to stand his head up, causing the Specialists Champion to fall to her back, but she manages to roll to her feet! PJ runs after her, taking her back with a knee strike, but Milli blocks the knee while backing up in the process! Milli swings forward, connecting with a roundhouse kick! But, PJ manages to block the roundhouse kick! He manages to swipe the foot of the Specialists Champion as that knocks her to her back! PJ runs the horizontal set of ropes in front of Milli before following that up with a leg drop as he goes for the cover!

OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!

Jake Mercer: Milli Banks with a kick out at one! PJ Hendrx rises back to a vertical base as he manages to grab the nape of Milli’s neck in order to get her back to her feet! He begins to connect with a couple of punches around the upper part of Milli’s spine before grabbing her by her arm and whipping her towards the vertical set of ropes! Milli manages to catch herself with the ropes, preventing herself from rebounding off of them as PJ runs after her with a dropkick as that sends the Specialists Champion stumbling forward to her knee! PJ follows that with an enzuiguri to the side of her temple as that sends her to her side! PJ springboards over the set of ropes in front of her and follows that enizuguri with a moonsault as he lands beautifully on Milli! Milli is clutching to her ribs as she finds her way into a crawling position! BUT, PJ STOPS HER IN HER TRACKS WITH A PENALTY KICK TO THE SIDE OF HER STOMACH! THIS TURNS HER TO HER BACK AS PJ BEGINS TO CONNECT WITH A SERIES OF PUNCHES TO HER FACE! HE FINDS HIS WAY BACK TO HIS FEET AS HE’S GESTURING FOR MILLI TO GET TO HER FEET!

Stew-O: At the first sign of Milli Banks getting to her feet, PJ Hendrx runs after her, taking her down with a forearm! But, Milli manages to block the forearm as she grabs the fist of the Interwire Champion! Milli uses her other hand to connect with a punch to PJ’s gut! You can see the look of pain written on PJ’s face! Milli connects with another punch to PJ’s gut! Then, the hand that she blocked PJ’s forearm with! She uses it to get herself on the top turnbuckle! Then, she begins to walk the ropes! Milli begins to shimmy and showboat a bit before jumping off and connecting with a hurricanrana as that takes the Interwire Champion across the ring! PJ tries to get to his feet, but Milli beats him to the punch as she follows that up with a dropkick as that sends PJ to one of the corners! MILLI BEGINS TO STOMP ON THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION AT THE CORNER! SHE IS STOMPING ON PJ’S GUT BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A LEG EXTENDED CORNER FOOT CHOKE AT THE CORNER AS SHE HOLDS IT THERE! THE REFEREE IS BEGINNING TO COUNT!

Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET YOUR FOOT OFF HIS NECK, MILLI!

Flannery McCoy: Milli Banks holds her hands up where the referee can see them as she slowly backs away from the corner and PJ Hendrx! The referee now checks on PJ to see if he’s okay to continue! But, PJ is slowly getting himself up to his feet! With that, the referee gives it okay for this match to resume! Milli goes over to continue her offense on PJ, but PJ switches positions with her! Now, it’s Milli who has her back against the corner! PJ IS CONNECTING WITH RAPID PALM STRIKES TO THE CHEST! PJ WITH A NEW SPRING OF LIFE IN HIM AS HE IS STILL STRIKING HER CHEST WITH VICIOUS PALM STRIKES! THIS CAUSES THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION TO COLLAPSE DOWN TO THE BOTTOM ROW OF ROPES! PJ BEGINS TO BACK AWAY AS MILLI HAS THIS SHOCKED LOOK ON HER FACE LIKE SHE WASN’T EXPECTING FOR PJ TO STRIKE HER AS HARD AS HE DID! MILLI IS HOLDING ONTO HER CHEST AS YOU CAN SEE THE WELTS FORMING SLOWLY!

Jake Mercer: PJ Hendrx is not looking to let this new offense go as he follows those palm strikes to Milli Banks’ chest and connects with a facewash to Milli at the corner! Her head goes back against the turnbuckle as PJ grabs Milli by the leg, pulling her away from the corner; however, Milli jumps back to her feet, out of nowhere! SHE CONNECTS WITH AN ELBOW SHOT TO THE FACE OF THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION! PJ IS TAKEN BACK, BUT HE ALSO RESPONDS WITH A SUPERKICK AS THAT TAKES MILLI DOWN TO HER KNEE! PJ PULLS HER UP AND CONNECTS WITH A VERTICAL SUPLEX AS SHE LANDS ON HER BACK! PJ WITH THE COVER!

OOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Stew-O: Milli Banks with a kick out! PJ Hendrx gets Milli into a seated position as he takes a few steps back! He runs after the Specialists Champion, hitting her with a penalty kick as Milli has a look of pain written on her face! PJ gets in front of Milli and then connects with a series of left and right kicks to her!

Flannery McCoy: PJ Hendrx gets Milli Banks and throws her back to one of the corners! PJ is feeling good about himself as he runs to the ropes before connecting with a running dropkick as he nails Milli in the face as he backflips out of the corner! Now, that was impressive by ‘The Phantom’ as he runs back to the corner with Milli in it and connects with a meteora to Milli as that causes Milli to stumble forward! PJ FINDS HIMSELF ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE BEFORE LAUNCHING HIMSELF OFF OF IT AND CONNECTING WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF MILLI’S SKULL AS SHE COLLAPSES FACE FIRST AGAINST THE MAT! PJ RUNS THE ROPES IN FRONT OF MILLI BEFORE REBOUNDING OFF OF THEM AND CONNECTING WITH A SLIDING FOREARM AS THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION IS KNOCKED TO HER BACK!

Jake Mercer: Milli Banks with another kick out! PJ Hendrx grabs Milli by her hair, which gets her up to her feet! PJ grabs her in a headlock position before running to the ropes, spring boarding himself off of them and spinning around! He connects with a tornado DDT as he has Milli planted on the ground! PJ helps Milli to her feet, but he ends up placing Milli in an inverted fireman’s carry position on his shoulders! It seems like he’s going to be connecting with ‘Hurricane’ — the inverted death valley driver on the Specialists Champion! But, Milli drops right behind PJ before he could connect with the move! PJ turns around as Milli jumps, getting a hold of his arm in the process and connects with a Mexican arm drag! THIS SENDS THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION ACROSS THE RING! HE MANAGES TO SLIDE TO HIS KNEES ALL COOL AND AS MILLI GOES AFTER ‘THE PHANTOM’ WITH A METEORA—BUT, PJ DUCKS HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY! MILLI MANAGES TO CATCH HERSELF BEFORE HER KNEES COULD COLLIDE WITH THE TURNBUCKLE! BUT, PJ SEES AN OPENING TO CONNECT WITH BACKSTABBER TO MILLI!

Stew-O: But, Milli Banks manages to clutch onto the ropes and prevent the move from being executed on her! She manages to get herself on the second row of ropes as PJ goes right after her, but Milli uses her knees to throw PJ into the turnbuckle! Then, she grabs PJ by his head before throwing herself over the top rope and connecting with a rope hung jawbreaker as that sends PJ bouncing back! Milli races for the top rope as she situates herself on the top rope! Now, what is the Specialists Champion planning to do here?

Flannery McCoy: I’m not sure what it is, but PJ Hendrx is back on his feet and is looking to meet Milli Banks on that top rope! This isn’t the predicament that any of these two Elitists want to find themselves in the middle of! MILLI BEGINS TO THROW A PUNCH IN PJ’S DIRECTION! BUT, PJ THROWS A PUNCH AT MILLI’S DIRECTION! MILLI WITH ANOTHER PUNCH TO PJ! PJ WITH ANOTHER PUNCH TO MILLI! MILLI WITH A PUNCH TO PJ! PJ WITH A PUNCH TO MILLI! THESE TWO ELITISTS ARE TEETERING ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! LIKE I SAID, THIS ISN’T THE PLACE THAT ANY OF THESE TWO WANT TO FIND THEMSELVES IN! BEFORE MILLI COULD CONNECT WITH ANOTHER PUNCH, PJ MANAGES TO PUNCH ‘THE SUPERNOVA’ ON HER SPINE! THIS CAUSES MILLI TO BEND FORWARD AS PJ CONTINUES TO PUNCH MILLI’S SPINE! NOW, I’M NOT SURE WHAT PJ HAS INVOLVED AS —

Jake Mercer: ‘PLANET ZERO’ FROM THE TOP ROPE! PJ HENDRX CONNECTS WITH A BRIDGING PACKAGE POWERBOMB AS HE HOLDS HER THERE FOR THE COVER!!!!! :damn: :damn: :damn:

OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

TT—
Stew-O: MILLI BANKS WITH A KICK OUT! NOW, HOW IN THE WORLD WAS MILLI ABLE TO KICK OUT OF THAT?

Flannery McCoy: It just demonstrates the heart and determination of the Specialists Champion! Just some of the qualities that won her the title back at Grand Rampage! The same thing with PJ Hendrx which got him the Interwire Championship! It’s what’s gotten him through title defense after title defense! PJ knows that with an opponent like Milli, he needs to step up his game and prove that he can hang with the best of the Dynasty brand! As for Milli, it’s her shot in the main event! It’s her time to prove that she belongs in these lights!

Jake Mercer: Just looking into the eyes of PJ Hendrx, he knows that he is going to need to bring something bigger in order to take Milli Banks down! The same goes for Milli! This is a champion versus champion match after all! These two are not slackers whatsoever! PJ rises back to his feet as he grabs Milli by her hair again! He begins to connect with punches to her spine again! And, it seems like he is going for ‘Planet Zero’ again! This could cause damage for the Specialists Champion! He goes to pick up Milli again! But, Milli manages to keep her feet planted to the ground and prevent any movement! PJ goes to lift Milli up again, but Milli keeps her feet planted to the ground! Milli knows what PJ connecting with this next move could do to her and she is doing everything in her power to prevent all of that from happening! PJ goes to lift her up for a third time, but Milli uses that momentum to take PJ back with a jawbreaker as that sends him back again! PJ goes forward before nailing a boot to the face!

Stew-O: Now, it seems like PJ Hendrx might be looking to go for a submission move! One of PJ’s opponents at Pain for Pride is known to be a bit of a submission specialist, Jay Jerry Johnson! PJ has Milli’s legs as it seems like he’s going to apply a Boston crab as he kneels on the spine of Milli Banks! Milli begins to cry out in pain! This isn’t good for the spine! PJ was quite smart to go for a submission move here! The best thing to do is to weaken Milli, which will cause her to slow down! She has such fast and innovative moveset that you want to do everything in your power to make sure that she slows down to PJ’s pace! At least, to PJ’s pace!

Crowd: LET’S GO MILLI!! 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿

Crowd: P-J HEN-DRX!! 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿

Crowd: LET’S GO MILLI!! 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿

Crowd: P-J HEN-DRX!! 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿

Flannery McCoy: This crowd is totally split on who they’re rooting for! These two Elitists have won the approval of the EAW fans over the past several months! It’s impossible to pick a winner for this match up! The both of them became champions over hard work and improvement of their craft! They are doing whatever they can to make sure that they stay in the position that they are! The referee is going down to Milli Banks’ level, asking if she wants to submit! Honestly, my advice would be for everyone else around this period of time: think about your health! This is going to be the first Pain for Pride for quite a few Elitists on the Dynasty brand, so it’s best to make sure that you’re healthy enough to make it to the event!

Jake Mercer: Are you kidding me, Flann? You think that Big Bills Mills would throw in the towel here? A victory over the Interwire Champion would be the confidence boost that she needs to make Serenity Valdez know that Milli is ready for her! Pain for Pride should be the dream for everyone aspiring to be a professional wrestler! This is the spectacle in sport! Everyone dreams of getting a match on the card! Only a select few get the opportunity to walk into the event as a champion! The Specialists Championship and Interwire Championship are known as the workhorse titles in this company and I don’t see the two of them giving up!

Stew-O: Milli Banks is trying to turn to her side, guys! She is shaking her head ‘no’ at the idea of wanting to submit! Milli knows that she needs to continue to make an impression here! She is beginning to clutch for the bottom rope at the side of her! She nearly has to drag her body to reach for that bottom rope as PJ Hendrx realizes what she is doing! He goes to reposition himself by pulling Milli away from that rope! BUT, MILLI USES THAT TINY WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO ROLL HERSELF THROUGH PJ AND COUNTER WITH A ROLL UP OUT OF NOWHERE! IS MILLI GOING TO STEAL THE VICTORY HERE?!?!

OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

TTTT—
Flannery McCoy: PJ Hendrx manages to get himself out of the pin as he runs after Milli Banks, who takes him down with a headlock takeover! But, PJ gets his legs over and counters with leg scissors wrapped around the neck of the Specialists Champion! But, Milli manages to kip up back to her feet, breaking any hold that PJ might have of her! The two Elitists are staring at each other! This has been so competitive between the two of them! Milli runs after PJ with a clothesline, but PJ manages to catch her arm and it seems like he’s going to turn himself over and connect with a cross arm breaker, but Milli manages to clutch onto the bottom rope and roll herself out of the ring! I think that this was exactly what Milli needed! She needed some space from PJ Hendrx! MEANWHILE, IT SEEMS LIKE PJ HENDRX IS NOT LOOKING TO WASTE HIS TIME AS HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE AND CONNECTS WITH A HIGH-ANGLE SENTON BOMB AS HE LANDS ON MILLI BANKS! PJ FINDS HIMSELF BACK ON HIS FEET INSTANTLY! PJ IS HYPING UP THE CROWD AS THEY HAVE A MIXED RECEPTION OF SEEING MILLI DOWN ON THE GROUND!

Jake Mercer: This crowd is clearly divided over the two Elitists in this match up! PJ Hendrx gets Milli Banks up by her hair as he grabs her by the arm and Irish whips her to the barricade! The spine collides against that barricade as PJ runs forward and follows that up with a running uppercut! But, Milli manages to get herself out of the way! PJ crashes against the barricade! Now, I think that this may have been the opening that Milli needed! Milli drops to her knees as she tries to catch her breath! She uses the edge of the apron to get herself up to her feet! Her eyes are directly at PJ, full of intensity as she charges forward at the Interwire Champion with a meteora! BUT, PJ MANAGES TO GET HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY! BUT, MILLI MANAGES TO CATCH HERSELF BY JUMPING OVER THE BARRICADE! PJ TURNS AROUND AS MILLI HITS PJ WITH A PELE KICK BEFORE JUMPING OVER THE BARRICADE AND CONNECTING WITH A TORNADO DDT ON HIM!

(The crowd is applauding the performances of these two Elitists, who have come into the match more than willing to give it everything that they have. Both Milli Banks and PJ Hendrix are exhausted, but have so much more to give into this match up. The referee’s count is at four!)

Stew-O: This has been so amazing to watch! Both of them have been going all out for this match up! Slowly, it seems like it’s going to be Milli Banks that finds herself up to a seated position as she finds her way up to her feet! PJ Hendrx finds himself at his feet shortly after as the two of them look at each other and roll themselves back inside the ring! They beat the referee’s count at eight! The two of them recover a bit more as Milli finds herself back to her feet! I think that she has intentions of ending this match! SHE GETS PJ IN A HEADLOCK AS I THINK THAT WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING THAT ‘BANKRUPT’ — THE STANDING SHIRANUI! BUT, PJ HENDRX PUSHES HER TO THE ROPES AND ROLLS HER UP! O’CONNOR ROLL WITH A BRIDGE!

OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

TT—
Flannery McCoy: MILLI BANKS KICKS OUT! PJ HENDRX CAN’T SEEM TO BELIEVE IT! But, he doesn’t spend too much time with it getting the best of him! He begins to make his way towards the top turnbuckle! I think that he’s going to go for the ‘Final Flash’ again that he tried to connect with earlier in this match! He begins to situate himself on the top rope with his eyes on Milli!

(The crowd begins to become anxious as PJ Hendrx feels something tugging at his leg.)

Jake Mercer: IT’S JAY JERRY JOHNSON! JAY TRIPLE J IS TUGGING ON THE LEG OF THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION, BUT PJ HENDRX MANAGES TO KICK JAY OFF THE APRON! THIS PROVIDES HIM WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO JUMP OFF THE TOP ROPE AND CONNECT WITH A TOP ROPE POISONRANA ON MILLI BANKS! BUT, MILLI MANAGES TO GET HERSELF TO THE TOP ROPE AS SHE DELIVERS A HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE OF PJ! THIS KNOCKS THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION BACK AS MILLI HOOKS HIM FROM UNDERNEATH THE ARMS AND CONNECTS WITH A BUTTERFLY SUPLEX OVER THE TOP ROPE! PJ GOES CRASHING TO THE MAT! MILLI FINDS HERSELF UP TO HER FEET AS SHE GRABS A HOLD OF PJ BEFORE GOING FOR — ‘BANKRUPT’ — THE STANDING SHIRANUI ON PJ! MILLI WITH THE COVER AS TRIPLE J’S DISTRACTION MIGHT HAVE COST PJ THIS MATCH UP!

OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHHRRRR—



Stew-O: SHANE GATES PULLS MILLI BANKS OUT OF THE RING BEFORE THE THREE COUNT COULD BE MADE! SHANE GRABS MILLI BY HER HEAD AND THROWS HER HEAD FIRST AGAINST THE BARRICADE, GETTING HER OUT OF THE EQUATION! THE REFEREE RINGS THE BELL!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(The crowd begins to boo loudly due to the fact that this match ended in the way that they didn’t want too. But, Shane Gates ignores the negative reaction from the crowd and slides underneath the ring and begins to unload on PJ Hendrx, who was still recovering from that finisher.)

Flannery McCoy: Due to Shane Gates throwing Milli Banks out of the ring, this disqualified PJ Hendrx, thus, giving Milli a victory by disqualification, but you can look at Milli’s face as she is not happy whatsoever about this result! She wanted to go into this match and defeat PJ fair and square and Shane Gates took that opportunity away from her!

Jake Mercer: SHANE GATES IS STILL UNLOADING ON PJ HENDRX AS JAY JERRY JOHNSON PULLS SHANE GATES OFF OF PJ AS HE PROCEEDS TO GET HIS HITS ON THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION! JAY PICKS UP PJ HENDRX TO HIS FEET AS HE DELIVERS A MASSIVE EUROPEAN UPPERCUT THAT SENDS PJ BACK TO THE ROPES! JAY FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A SCOOP SLAM AS PJ CLUTCHES HIS SPINE IN PAIN! BUT, SHANE GATES, OUT OF NOWHERE, BULLDOZES AT JAY, CONNECTING WITH A ‘DARKNESS BELOW’ — HIS VARIATION OF THE BURNING HAMMER LAYS OUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON! BUT, SHANE GETS TURNED AROUND BY MILLI BANKS, WHO IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT HIS INTERFERENCE! HE IS THE REASON WHY THIS MATCH ENDED IN THE VERY FIRST PLACE!

(Milli Banks is screaming at the face of Shane Gates, upset that a moment to prove that she was the better champion that PJ Hendrx was taken away from her. Milli was *this* close to winning this match and despite still winning the match, she cannot accept the result like it is.)

Stew-O: MILLI BANKS DELIVERS A HUGE SLAP TO THE FACE OF SHANE GATES! SHANE LOOKS AT MILLI, ALMOST LIKE HE’S READY TO MURDER SOMEONE ON LIVE DISNEY TELEVISION AS —MILLI WITH ‘NO FAKE BILLS HERE!’ THE RUNNING SINGLE LEG HIGH KNEE TAKES SHANE GATES BACK! MILLI RUNS FORWARD AND TAKE DOWN ONE OF THE CONTENDERS FOR THE INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP WITH A SPEAR! MILLI IS UNLOADING ON SHANE GATES! BUT, SHANE FINDS A WAY TO TAKE THIS SITUATION FOR HIMSELF AS HE THROWS SOME ELBOWS TO THE FACE OF THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION! HE GRABS HER UP BY HER FACE AS WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND THE WAIST AND LOOKS TO TAKE HER BACK WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX INTO A RIPCORD LARIAT — ‘SUFFER AS ONE!’

(The crowd begins to pop out of nowhere, causing everyone else to look at the ramp.)

Flannery McCoy: IT’S SERENITY VALDEZ! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS SERENITY VALDEZ DOING OUT HERE! AND, WITH A STEEL CHAIR IN HER HANDS! SHE SLIDES UNDERNEATH THE RING AS SHE BEGINS TO SWING THAT STEEL CHAIR ALL OVER! THIS CAUSES FOR JAY JERRY JOHNSON AND SHANE GATES TO GET THE HELL OUT OF SERENITY VALDEZ’ WAY! MEANWHILE, PJ HENDRX SEEKS REFUGE WITH RESTING HIS BACK AGAINST THE BARRICADE! THE ONLY TWO ELITISTS IN THE RING ARE THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION AND THE EMPRESS OF ELITE! WHAT IN THE WORLD WOULD SERENITY HELP OUT MILLI BANKS! THESE TWO HAVE BEEN AT EACH OTHER’S THROATS SINCE OCTOBER!

Jake Mercer: It seems like Milli Banks’ words talked some sense into Serenity Valdez! Maybe, Serenity is starting to see things from a different perspective —

Stew-O: SERENITY VALDEZ SWINGS THE STEEL CHAIR TO THE SKULL OF MILLI BANKS, DROPPING HER ON HER BACK! THIS VINDICTIVE B—WOMAN! MILLI HAD JUST COMPETED IN A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MATCH WITH PJ HENDRX! SHE WAS IN NO SHAPE TO BE DEALING WITH ALL OF THIS! SERENITY PLACES MILLI’S HEAD THROUGH THE HOLD OF THE STEEL CHAIR, FOLDS IT BACK, SO THAT IT’S CHOKING HER NECK AND LOOK AT THIS — SHE’S APPLYING ‘AMARI!’ SHE’S APPLYING THE CRIPPLER CROSSFACE ON THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION!

Flannery McCoy: SLOWLY, MILLI BANKS IS FADING! SHE IS TRYING TO GET HERSELF OUT OF THIS, BUT IT’S NO USE! A REFEREE FINDS HIMSELF BACK INSIDE THE RING AS HE YELLS FOR SERENITY TO RELEASE HER HOLD ON MILLI, WHO HAS PASSED OUT COMPLETELY! AFTER MUCH YELLING, SERENITY RELEASES HER GRASP AS SHE RISES BACK TO HER FEET! SERENITY ALLOWS FOR THE REFEREE TO CHECK ON MILLI AS SHE COMPLETELY EXITS THE RING! I’M JUST SPEECHLESS OVER THE ENTIRE THING!

Jake Mercer: This main event should have had a clear winner. But, the Interwire Championship contenders made it difficult to do so. On the other hand, Serenity Valdez with a clear statement!

(The last scene is of Serenity Valdez making her way up the ramp. Her eyes are glued on Milli Banks, who is trying to get herself up to her feet. The crowd is booing the living heck out of the Empress of Elite, who mocks them with the ‘boohoo’ gesture as she gestures for the Specialists Championship around her waist.)

(A commercial is shown for Twitter starring Serenity Valdez, just like the platform, she loves to lie.)

(Dynasty returns from commercial break with Tyrone Montgomery already inside the ring. The Dynasty theme is playing in the background. It slowly dies down as the crowd is more than anticipating what Tyrone has to say in the state of the World Heavyweight Championship match at Pain for Pride.)

Tyrone Montgomery: In case, you are catching up with the EAW content leading up to Pain for Pride, let me catch you up to speed. Two weeks ago, World Heavyweight Champion, Limmy Monaghan and the number one contender for his title, Myles teamed up to face off against Scott Diamond and The Visual Prophet. While the whole situation with Viz and Scott is its own can of worms, I’m here to strictly talk about Limmy. Post match, Myles would attack Limmy, putting this World Heavyweight Championship match at Pain for Pride in jeopardy. Last week, I provided everyone with a medical update on Limmy — fractured ribs, bruising around his torso area and Grade II lumbar back strain. From the strain, it looked like it was an injury that was slowly tearing away at Limmy’s lower back for quite some time now, but it just went into a spasm when he tried to get himself up from Myles’ steel chair shot.

(Tyrone Montgomery has his hand on his pocket as he looks down. This isn’t a situation to mock or joke around. His very first Pain for Pride main event has gone into jeopardy and it’s become a stressful situation for not only him, but the board of directors that he finds himself reporting to about Limmy’s well being.)

Tyrone Montgomery: Now, I can let you guys in behind the scenes of what’s been going on behind the camera, but it’s been stressful with Limmy’s situation being up in the air. I contacted Limmy after Dynasty last week and we talked about how he was doing before turning our focus to Pain for Pride. When I talked to him on the Zoom call, I could see the bandage wrapped around his shoulder area. But, Limmy kept himself in high spirits, trying not to show any sort of anger or emotion. On Monday, I went to medical personnel that have been assigned to Limmy’s case, the best group of doctors that one could ever ask for, and got their opinion on the information that’s already been out to the public for the past few weeks. We talked for quite some time and we parted ways. I was left with a huge decision in my hands. I’ve gone to Hall of Famers, veterans in this company, trainers and our personal physicians with their tack on how I should tackle this situation. Feedback is something that is critical during times like these. One wrong decision could really either be fatal to someone’s wrestling career or provide bad press, which is the last thing that this brand needs. After some time thinking about this, I think that I’ve come up with a decision. But, I don’t want to have Myles hear it backstage, I’d like for him to come out, so Myles.

(With that invite from Tyrone Montgomery, ‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi begins to play across the speakers of the State Farm Arena. The crowd instantly boos the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Champion, Myles, who comes out with an annoyed and unamused look on his face.)

Flannery McCoy: Here comes the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship! Myles is the reason why we’re all in this situation in the first place!
Jake Mercer: I don’t understand how Myles wasn’t fined for attacking Limmy Monaghan and putting a Pain for Pride main event in jeopardy. Dynasty has been through it’s share of Pain for Pride main events being in jeopardy, so I figured that we weren’t going to have to worry about it with this confrontation.

Stew-O: It was never Myles’ intention to injure Limmy Monaghan, but send a message, but that message has put Limmy’s Pain for Pride status up in the air.

(Myles’ music dies down as he stands across from Tyrone Montgomery inside the ring.)

Tyrone Montgomery: Myles, I appreciate you for coming out here. I figured that what I am going to tell you is going to be better said face-to-face, man-to-man, rather than you hearing it from a monitor backstage.

(Myles is completely silent, allowing for Tyrone Montgomery to announce his decision.)

Tyrone Montgomery: When I took this decision to be Dynasty General Manager, I promised that I was going to do everything in my power to give EVERYONE the content that they deserved. I was going to give them the best stars, the best wrestling and the best two hours of television that they deserve. With this position, I knew that there were going to be obstacles. I knew that there were going to be some decisions that I was going to make that were going to be a bit controversial. At Pain for Pride, I saw Limmy Monaghan versus Myles for the World Heavyweight Championship as the clash of the Dynasty and Voltage brand. I was highly appreciative that Captain Charisma provided the green light to use your talents going into Pain for Pride. But, with the condition of Limmy and after listening to dozens of individuals this past week, I have made the decision to completely call off—

( — ‘Limit Break x Survivor’ by Kiyoshi Hikawa cuts off Tyrone Montgomery as the crowd completely loses it, standing up and cheering for the World Heavyweight Champion, Limmy Monaghan, who walks out, still wearing the bandages of his attack by Myles. Limmy has the World Heavyweight Championship on his shoulder as you can clearly see, that there’s a bit of a struggle with him trying to get to the ring.)

Jake Mercer: It’s Limmy Monaghan! He’s on Dynasty and he’s wearing the wounds of his injuries, but he’s here!

Stew-O: I was not expecting to see Limmy Monaghan out here, but what Tyrone Montgomery was going to announce is why Limmy is out here! He knew what Tyrone was going to say and this is Limmy’s way of stopping this match from being called off!

Flannery McCoy: This crowd is completely unglued for Limmy Monaghan! The World Heavyweight Champion is slowly making his way to the ring! Still, he finds the effort to tag some fans along the way, but I am interested to see what he has to say about everything that’s been said these past two weeks!

(‘Limit Break x Survivor’ fades as the crowd gives the World Heavyweight Champion a standing ovation for making the journey to get here tonight. Despite all the pain that he is feeling at the moment, Limmy Monaghan nods and silently thanks the crowd for their support.)

Limmy Monaghan: Tyrone, I got your voicemail last night on your decision to call off this match at Pain for Pride.

(The crowd completely boos.)

Limmy Monaghan: As soon as I got the voicemail, I got to the next flight to Atlanta, Georgia —

(The crowd pops for their city and state being named dropped.)

Limmy Monaghan: Once I got there, I tried getting in touch with you, but it kept going into voicemail. So I figured that I would get in touch with some people in EAW Headquarters about where I could reach you, but you weren’t taking visitors until Dynasty tonight. I could have done a lot of walking and searching in Atlanta for you, but every time I took a step, I felt like I was watching Portgas D. Ace’s death in One Piece all over again. :mjcry:

Crowd: :mjcry:

Limmy Monaghan: Now, this wasn’t the most idealistic entrance that I wanted to make, but it was the entrance that I had no other choice, but to make. I couldn’t let you proceed with the decision of calling this match off, Tyrone. I know that you spent the time trying to gain all of this feedback and knowledge from these people. But, the feedback that trumped all of them was *mine.* While the feedback of a physician might seem like knowledge to anyone and it’s something that I wouldn’t encourage anyone to ignore — unless, you’re a professional —I know my body the best. I know how much my body can take. What Myles did to me three weeks ago? It wasn’t enough to put me down, Tyrone. Yes, I’m still injured. Yes, I am in a WHOLE LOT of pain. Yes, it hurt to walk down the ramp and climb up these steel steps and enter through those ropes, but I did it. Just like, I made the flight all the way from Golden Beach to Atlanta. Yes, I have been resting and trying to heal these woulds, but it hasn’t stopped me before and it’s not going to stop me now.

(The crowd proceeds to pop as Limmy Monaghan continues.)

Limmy Monaghan: If you want to know the answer to the biggest elephant in the room, it’s yes. I’ll be ready and I VOW to defend the World Heavyweight Championship at Pain for Pride!

(The crowd begins to pop as everyone is filled with joy at the fact that Limmy Monaghan will be prepared to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Myles. Myles holds a smirk on his face, knowing that Limmy wouldn’t back down so quickly from him. Limmy turns his sights to Limmy as he adjusts the title on his shoulder.)

Limmy Monaghan: Why is that, Myles? I guess, it’s because I’m built differently!

Jake Mercer: LIMMY MONAGHAN SLAMS THE MIC ON THE TOP OF MYLES’ SKULL AS THAT TAKES HIM BACK! LIMMY SPEARS MYLES TO THE GROUND AS HE BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON A SERIES OF PUNCHES TO THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER! BUT, MYLES ROLLS HIMSELF ON TOP OF LIMMY AS HE GRABS THE MICROPHONE AND PROCEEDS TO SLAM IT AGAINST THE SKULL OF THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! IT SEEMS LIKE MYLES IS LOOKING TO ADD MORE INJURY TO LIMMY’S ROAD TO PAIN FOR PRIDE! HE GRABS THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP THAT LIMMY DROPPED WHEN HE SLAMMED THE MICROPHONE TO MYLES? OH GOD, HE’S GOING TO ADD A CONCUSSION TO THESE LIST OF INJURIES! MYLES HOLDS THE TITLE UP AS HE ANTICIPATES LIMMY FINDING HIMSELF UP! LIMMY TURNS AROUND AS MYLES RUNS AFTER LIMMY, SLAMMING THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP TO HIS SKULL —

Stew-O: ‘DIABLE JAMBE’ — THE BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TO THE SKULL OF MYLES! THIS KNOCKS HIM BACK! LIMMY MONAGHAN PICKS UP THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP THAT MYLES DROPPED AND NOW, IT’S LIMMY WHO HOLDS THE TITLE UP AS HE YELLS FOR MYLES TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET! MYLES GETS TO HIS FEET AS LIMMY IS QUICK TO CHARGE TOWARDS MYLES AND HIT HIM WITH THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP TO THE SKULL! MYLES GOES DOWN AS LIMMY STANDS ON TOP OF MYLES!

(‘Limit Break x Survivor’ begins to play through the speakers again. The crowd is completely losing it as Limmy Monaghan stands tall over Myles. Limmy raises the World Heavyweight Champion up to his head.)

Flannery McCoy: If that isn’t enough proof that Limmy Monaghan is prepared for Pain for Pride, I don’t know what is! He just laid out the number one contender for his title!

Jake Mercer: Was there any doubt that Limmy Monaghan was going to be ready? It seemed like Tyrone Montgomery had his doubts, but he learned to never bet against the World Heavyweight Champion!

Stew-O: AND, WE HAVE ONE MORE SHOW UNTIL PAIN FOR PRIDE, GUYS! THE ANTICIPATION IS KILLING ME!

Flannery McCoy: I wonder what Dynasty is going to be cooking next week, but that’s all the time we have for this edition of Dynasty! Signing off on behalf of Jake Mercer and Stew-O, I am Flannery McCoy! Goodnight from Atlanta!

(The last shot is of Limmy Monaghan raising the World Heavyweight Championship over a fallen Myles.)

(EAW logo buzzes.)
