(EAW intro plays.)
(As always, a recap is shown of last week’s episode of Friday Night Dynasty: Axel Graves wins over NOVA. Rory Slate wins over Valerie Hellstorm. Jamie Cross has an interview stating her intentions on contending for the Specialists Championship. Bea Valentine and Mercer McKay ends with MITSUBACHI coming in and beating up the both of them. Caroline and Hans Grayson are interviewed about the New Breed Championship match at Pain For Pride. Serenity Valdez calls Milli Banks out who instills doubt into her and leaves Serenity speechless. The Queen Bees and the Off-Brand Amphetamines meeting turns into a brawl which the Bees being forced into retreat. The Bees then face Cameron Ella Ava and Sienna Jade and it ends with Cameron and Sienna being counted out after arguing as they brawl around the arena. Madison Kaline comes out and says she attacked the Ice Aces cause she felt like it, and after her tag match with ARIA is done she can kiss her ass. Cy Henderson invites Scott Diamond and the Visual Prophet out and it nearly ends in a brawl but Cy breaks it up and stops it before it can continue. Jay Jerry Johnson walks out on his partner Shane Gates as Joso and Ruler get the win. Bronson Daniels demands Andre Walker meet him in the ring but Andre shows up on the titantron as he trash talks him before leaving. Milli Banks gets a disqualification win over PJ Hendrx as Jay and Shane attack PJ and then Milli before Serenity runs out with a chair for the save before beating down Milli. Tyrone Montgomery is about to cancel the World Heavyweight Championship match before Limmy Monaghan comes out and says he will defend his title no matter what before laying out Myles to end the show and the recap.)
(Friday Night Dynasty goes to show a shot of the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee, with ‘Toad’ by Justin Hurwitz plays. The song invokes a vast array of reactions from the fans. Their voices are only heightened by the emergence of Scott Diamond, clad in casual wear, having only the ring as his main destination. His calm but purposeful steps match in sync to the composition of his theme.)
Stew-O: It’s been quite the past few months for Scott Diamond here in EAW. He has pretty much retaken his spot as one of the more dangerous competitors in this roster, even if his motivations are far more simple compared to the Mad Titan we once knew.
Jake Mercer: Fortunately for us, he isn’t trying to kill this promotion! In fact, all Scott has been trying to do since his return to in-ring action is find that bit of spark that could make him passionate about this business again. We managed to see him go the distance with a gutsy Joso at Operation: Doomsday and Limmy Monaghan at Grand Rampage in what can arguably be called the greatest World Heavyweight Championship match of the season. He was looking to replicate that string of luck with my man, my GOAT, the Visual Prophet… but Viz simply wasn’t ready.
Flannery McCoy: And by ‘wasn’t ready’, you mean almost tried to duck Scott entirely?
Jake Mercer: Listen, he’s a busy man! Aside from being a well-renowned chef — checer le prophete — he’s got a wonderful academy to upkeep! Not to mention that he’s had to take care of the good doc Dr. D’Angelo Angelo after Scott attacked him for no justifiable reason whatsoever! He’s got a lot on his plate.
Flannery McCoy: Riiiight. Well, whether or not people want to choose which story to believe on that front, the fact of the matter is that things have gotten dire between Scott and Viz. Fortunately, nothing chaotic has truly transpired… at least, not yet. They’ve made some pointed jabs at each other ever since Super Dynasty, and with us being on the go-home show before Pain for Pride, I’m sure security is more alert than ever before in case things boil over.
Stew-O: It’s a correct assumption to make. Emotions are running high this time of the year, though Scott seems to be doing the best he can to mitigate his own temper.
Jake Mercer: As if he can keep that under control long enough. We already saw it peak its ugly head in a good few times. Scott is no saint.
Flannery McCoy: He’s never claimed to be. Besides, Viz is just as hot-headed, if not more than him. He isn’t innocent either.
Jake Mercer: Ahhhh. So, the black man is the one being emotional, huh? Okay, Flannery. I’m sure the Disney execs watching and listening will be a-okay with that sort of horrid generalization.
Flannery McCoy: But Viz… nevermind. No sense trying to have a reasonable conversation with you.
Stew-O: At least Scott will likely have a lot to say about the Visual Prophet. He’s in the ring and has a microphone in hand.
(The camera focuses on the standing Scott Diamond, keeping a firm grasp on the mic. He has his cheek subtlety sucked in, a hint of annoyance simmering from him. Once his music fades, he starts to speak.)
Scott Diamond: In all my years that I have been wrestling, be it consistently or not, I have come across many Elitists who were all talk but hardly any action. Many of them were pretenders, trying to push forth this facade that they were far bigger than they actually were. It was one of the main reasons why I sought to destroy this company from the inside out, and ultimately, succeeded in doing so.
(The memories garner some boos from the crowd. However, Scott gives a nonchalant shrug. He paced back and forth, head slightly lowered, letting his honest thoughts run free as he continued with his speech.)
Scott Diamond: Even then, my efforts seem to be all for naught. When I ultimately lost to Cy Henderson and inadvertently brought back hope into these thin-skinned, deceitful, poor excuses for ‘stars’, it paved the way for more and more Elitists to keep doing the same thing. Make the same bold claims. Carry on with the same tired personas. There have been quite a few that struck a genuine nerve with me. However, I don’t think I’ve met anyone as delusional and rift with lies as the Visual Prophet.
(Scott’s tone sounds sour, almost disgusted.)
Scott Diamond: Regardless of how you all may wish to view me, the one thing you guys should keep in the back of your minds is that I am a fighter. I don’t cower out of any battle, especially ones that I wanted to start. When the Visual Prophet laid out his open challenge, the same one he kept saying he was going to do in the event Sosa didn’t show up to wrestle him all week long, I figured I could’ve been the one to step up to the plate. Why not? I was down for that. I’ve been wanting to test the current waters here in EAW to understand just how deep the talent pool truly is on my own. I suppose I got spoiled though when it came to my opponents. Even with our conflicting philosophies or different ideas of what determined true success, I can give those that I’ve faced props. Many of them showed that they are here for the long haul. So, when going up against a former world champion and now a hall of famer, I was expecting Viz to have that same kind of energy.
Scott Diamond: However, I was wrong. I misjudged his character. I guess there is still that part of me that is a hopeless optimist buried deep within, wanting to take on the very best or at least elevate those to be at the highest level possible. I thought that, given Viz’s pedigrees and accomplishments, he would’ve fit the bill. Instead, I was met with a coward and a sham of a competitor who can run his mouth for days on end but then tuck his tail and hightail it out of here the moment someone with a larger bark and bite than him comes around. It never ceases to amaze me just how many Elitists here can do so much grandstanding without offering anything grand themselves. Viz is no exception to this. He can cry and say I’ve stepped out of bounds, but he was the one that started all of this. He wanted a fight. I was willing to give him that fight. However, he didn’t want to face me. He’s come up with so many asinine excuses since Super Dynasty, and it just makes me laugh. For someone who can spit out NBA and food references at the hip, he’s practically squirming whenever he has to try and find a way to make himself not look like a coward. It’s just too bad that nothing he can say or do will ever change that perception of him.
Scott Diamond: He wasn’t going to get away from me easily. He wanted to put out the challenge, and now, he’s going to receive it in full. He started this, but he doesn’t have the Will to finish it. However, I sure as hell do. He has transformed what could’ve been just a simple, harmless one-up-manship that’s going to end in disaster for him. And seeing as how I’ve gone far too long without an FPV win, I think it’s about time I nip that nagging little stat in the bud.
Scott Diamond: I’m going to Pain for Pride giving the Visual Prophet his just due. He isn’t going to run. He isn’t going to hide. He isn’t going to stick his hand up Dr. D’Angelo’s ass and make him speak for him, oh no. He’s not going to be doing any of that anymore. It’s about time he deals with the consequences of his actions fully, and next weekend, those consequences are going to catch up to him.
(Scott pauses before continuing. His eyes intensify their stare as he looks straight into the camera.)
Scott Diamond: And Cy Henderson? I suggest you don’t try and play the hero this time around. There is nothing you can say or do to prevent me from destroying him in any way I see fit — be it Pain for Pride or otherwise.
(That gets the fans perked up.)
Flannery McCoy: ‘Otherwise’? That can’t be good.
Jake Mercer: Told you!
Stew-O: Trouble is beginning to brew here.
Scott Diamond: You honestly shouldn’t even be here. Beating me doesn’t mean you’re adept at keeping us at bay, especially when that match that you practically bragged about has happened years ago. I am not the same man I was, Cy. If you thought that I was bad back then, just wait until you see what I can do now.
Crowd: :lupe:
(Scott looks as if he was about to continue before being interrupted by the sudden blasting of ‘5 Milli’ by Icewear Vezzo.)
Jake Mercer: THE GOAAAAAT! HE’S HERE! :blessed:
(The audience does not share the same enthusiasm. They boo as the Visual Prophet steps out, already storming down to the ring with a microphone to his mouth. He hurriedly shakes his finger, looking at Scott as if to say, ‘is this dude serious’? By the time he hustled his way to the ring, his music died down. He gets in, not having any qualms with stepping up to Scott Diamond.)
Stew-O: Uh-oh! This isn’t going to be good!
Visual Prophet: Delusional? ME? I know you aren’t talking. You want to come out and cry about how Daddy Viz isn’t giving you any attention now?
Scott Diamond: I thought you were a chef.
Visual Prophet: I’m that, too — oh, and a hall of famer, an icon, a needle lover, a former world champion, a current brand carrier, AND a man that a lot of people keep out of their mouths. I’m a lot of things, Scott, and you’re going to respect me for it instead of coming out here and thinking that anyone is going to be on your side. You aren’t the best, at least not anymore. And as long as I’m here, there’s a good chance you’ll never get that distinction ever again.
Scott Diamond: Right, Whatever you say, Viz.
Visual Prophet: You can be sarcastic, but the truth of the matter is that Scott Diamond can never surpass me. You can never beat me. I was kind enough to do charity and help you out, but don’t try and pass your place with me.
(Viz gives a light shove, causing the fans to gasp. Scott stops, looking straight at him.)
Visual Prophet: Don’t ever fix your lips to call me a coward. Matter of fact, didn’t I tell you that last week? You must take me as a fool. I am not these young, impressionable Elitists that’ll be all meek and meager against you. If it’s a fight you want, then it’s a fight you’re gonna get—
Stew-O: RIGHT HAND BY SCOTT! THE PUNCH LANDS! VIZ ALMOST FALLS DOWN, BUT SCOTT CONTINUES TO HAMMER AWAY!
Jake Mercer: VIZ ISN’T TAKING IT LYING DOWN, THOUGH! HE’S ANSWERING IN KIND WITH PUNCHES OF THEIR OWN!
Flannery McCoy: THEY’RE DUKING IT OUT, TAKING OUT WEEKS OF FRUSTRATIONS OUT OF EACH OTHER!
Stew-O: AND SECURITY IS OUT HERE, BUT LOOK WHO’S RIGHT WITH THEM! IT’S CY HENDERSON!
Jake Mercer: WHOA! HE WASN’T LYING WHEN HE SAID HE WAS HERE TO MAKE SURE THINGS DIDN’T GO CRAZY! HOWEVER, HE NEEDS TO HURRY UP! SCOTT AND VIZ ARE ABOUT TO FALL OUT OF THE RING PUNCHING EACH OTHER!
(Cy slides in and rushes up. He gets right in between a heated Viz and Scott!)
Cy Henderson: (off-mic) Cut it out! NOW!
(The pause allows for more guards to force their way in and keep the two men apart. Still, it’s a task easier said and done considering how powerful both Viz and Scott are. Eventually, the struggle is hampered. Scott looks to be the first one to calm down.)
Stew-O: That could’ve been a whole lot worse.
Flannery McCoy: No kidding! I’m surprised they even got this to stop! They could’ve torn this entire arena apart!
(Scott and Cy exchange looks. The stare is almost electrifying. Scott balls his hand up into a fist, looking like he might swing… before he relents. He quickly exits the ring, storming up to the stage area before leaving entirely. The fans murmur amongst themselves, surprised by the level-headed display.)
(Meanwhile…)
Visual Prophet: (off-mic) COME BACK! YOU WANTED A FIGHT, RIGHT?! DON’T WALK AWAY NOW! YOU COWARD!
(He tries to push past the guards and even Cy, but the latter holds him back. Viz tries to get them off of him to no avail. It’s a chaotic scene all around, as many continue to try to hold him back while ensuring Scott is truly gone. Eventually, Dynasty fades with the last shot before transition being an annoyed Visual Prophet looking over at Cy Henderson.)
[SCREENBAR: Caroline vs Ruler – New Breed Championship – King of Elite 2023]
(‘Prices’ by Lil Uzi Vert doesn’t hit, but rather mellows up into a more eerie fashion. It’s obvious the song was slightly remixed to fit Ruler’s daring entrance. The song is mellowed up not by artificial means, but by several members of the Vancouver Chamber Choir. Their voices accompany Ruler as he makes his entrance out of the set stage, and proceeds down the long ramp. From here, the voices fade, as Ruler breathes in the atmosphere of darkness. The song then hits, as he waits amidst the sight of dark, opaque fog. Ruler prays in the corner, before lifting his head up just in time for his opponent to arrive.)
Stephie Love: THIS MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL, AND IS FOR THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP! INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM THE RESERVED, IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, HE IS LITERALLY HIM, RULER!
Jake Mercer: I think he’s gonna retain. Look at the entrance! You don’t sing with a choir to—
(Ruler turns his head towards Jake, shushing him, as he continues to enjoy the entrance.)
(‘Complete Collapse’ by Sleeping with Sirens replaces the fading ‘Prices’, as the choir is nowhere to be seen. Ruler turns his head to see Caroline patiently walking down the ramp, and Caroline makes eye contact with him as he does so. She continues this eye contact as she walks into the ring, making the first move by inching closer towards Ruler, who simply stands up and pushes back with his own stare. Caroline takes a few steps back and heads into her corner, where she continues the same serious demeanor as she warms up.)
Jake Mercer: Can I speak now? Great. Caroline is definitely going to become the new champion. She has the skills, the talent and everything needed to become our New Breed Champion here tonight.
Flannery McCoy: Jeez, maybe she needs to shush you as well for you to get rid of your bias for once. Caroline has shown that she can be a champion, putting out great displays each week and slowly showing Ruler just how merciless she can be when it comes to it.
Stew-O: Correct, Flannery! Whether she can beat Ruler or not is a matter of preparation, and she looks very well prepared in this match! She’s showing no fear into Ruler’s eyes!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Flannery McCoy: Oh. The match has started, but neither Caroline nor Ruler are choosing to move. Ruler is just keeping his cool, staring into her soul as he inhales deeply. Caroline replies with a stare of her own, and the two of them circle the ring! It doesn’t seem like either of them look very interested to engage in brutal combat just yet!
Jake Mercer: Are they gonna fight or what?
Stew-O: Caroline patiently waits, and Ruler decides to go for the first blow! Ruler comes in with a high side kick, and Caroline simply dodges it by stepping to the side! She really has learned from her previous match with Ruler, huh?
Flannery McCoy: She sure has! Her first match involved her being more naive and stupid, which led to her loss! Caroline is being more careful this time around, and Ruler is showing no emotion in regards to her improvement! Caroline is right behind Ruler, and he spins around for a backfist, but no! She ducks it and sends her open palm into Ruler’s jaw!
Jake Mercer: That didn’t do much, but she left absolutely meant to do that strictly to disrespect Ruler! And look, Caroline’s red handprint mark is there! Showcasing how much anger and vigor was trailing that slap across the face of Ruler, What the hell is Caroline thinking, man! Irritating Ruler is the absolute LAST thing you want to do here!
Flannery McCoy: Ruler grabs Caroline by the neck, and he pulls her in, sending a knee flying straight into her stomach! Ruler looks down on her, showing no sign of any emotion or response! Ruler picks her up by her ring gear, and he hooks under her arms for a Snap Dragon Suplex! Caroline might be in trouble here!
Jake Mercer: Ruler is approaching her, as Caroline tries to get up! Caroline uses the ropes as leverage, but Ruler sends several kicks to her ribs! He slightly crouches, and hits an open palm strike on her left side! He’s not going for the liver shot just yet! Caroline still felt that, though, and she’s down on one knee! Good heavens, just how brutal are these people?
Stew-O: You’ve seen them already and you’re still wondering? I don’t blame you. Ruler seems to show less mercy, even if that’s impossible considering his lack of such! Caroline pulls herself up, and she’s met with a left hook—
Flannery McCoy: NO! She slips away just in time, and she ducks under as she sends her elbow into Ruler’s left side! It’s an eye for an eye this time around, and she will not let him get the better of her in their rematch! Ruler staggers back, and Caroline uses this opportunity to send a kick into his right side again, causing his body to lean slightly to the right!
Jake Mercer: She turns him around, and she lifts him up over her head for a Northern Lights Suplex! Ruler is down back first on the mat, and Caroline simply kips up! What the hell? Caroline kips up, and Ruler simply lifts his back off the mat, getting into a sitting position!
Stew-O: Caroline tries to send a running knee into his face, but Ruler moves his head to the side and uses his cupped hand to attack her the front of her foot, causing her to fall over and lose balance! She manages to break her fall, but Ruler takes advantage of her position and drives his foot through the back of her neck, causing Caroline to kiss the mat again!”
Flannery McCoy: And Ruler stretches his arms around, as he puts his foot on Caroline’s traps! He wants to beat her right here, and the question is, will he? He has shown great brutality early on, but is it enough to finish the Queen of Shadows?
Referee: OOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE—-
Jake Mercer: No! Caroline manages to get her hand up in the most stable way possible, and Ruler looks down, partly shocked! He knew this match might be longer than this, but he didn’t expect how high her pain tolerance is this time around! Ruler lifts his foot off her, and he tries to kick her to roll, but no! Caroline grabs his ankle and pulls him back first onto the mat, sending HIM into it!
Stew-O: Caroline doesn’t seem to be in pain from that stomp, and she pulls Ruler’s legs closer, rolling her foot back and kicking the knee! Ruler’s high pain tolerance is causing him to be more detached from his own injuries, and maybe this might cost him! She places Ruler in the corner turnbuckle, before stomping his head in with her left foot!
Flannery McCoy: She runs off, and sends her full body into Ruler’s head with a Running Cannonball Senton! Ruler was caught off guard by that, and now, it’s Caroline looking for the cover here! She wants to put Ruler away as best as she can! She puts her foot on Ruler’s neck as well!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO—
Jake Mercer: No! Ruler simply lifts his head off the ground and Caroline is forced to lift her foot up as well! He’s a strong man, and Caroline tries to swing, but Ruler blocks the attack and drives his elbow into Caroline’s nose! Ruler just shocked her there, and simply put, Caroline needs to rethink this strategy! Caroline tries to go for a sweep, but Ruler lifts his foot up and simply ducks himself underneath, lifting her up for a German Suplex!
Stew-O: And Caroline got tossed like a ragdoll, Ruler kips up as well, and he turns to move towards Caroline! He grabs her by the hair, and he applies a Crossface Chickenwing! He slightly keeps her back lifted up, and he presses his knee against her spine! Caroline is inching to tap here, but she knows she can’t let Ruler have the satisfaction of winning!
Flannery McCoy: The referee is checking in on her, and Caroline seems to still be in the fight! It seems like Ruler is slightly getting more manic here, and I’m not completely sure if this is playing to his advantage or his weakness! At this point, I’m just as confused as everybody else is! Caroline feels his hand slip, and she takes advantage of this by rolling him over and getting herself free!
Jake Mercer: Ruler’s facial expressions are starting to change, as his schizophrenia is slowly peeking through! He slaps himself a few times to get it out of his head, and eventually, he just snaps!
Ruler: (off-mic) Please, shut the hell up. I’m done with you trying to ruin my chances. I’m done with you holding me back. It’s time to turn you into a weapon.
Stew-O: Caroline sends a left hook into his face, but Ruler ate it! He turns his head towards her, and floors with a heavy headbutt! Caroline staggers back, and Ruler quickly snaps into a Roundhouse Kick, sending Caroline down on the mat! He’s on a rampage, and he unleashes a combo! The Dark Fury!
Flannery McCoy: KNEE TO THE GUT! That starts it off, as he unleashes a barrage of strikes, putting more emphasis on those that attack her body! He pulls her into position, and drops her head first onto the mat with the Will of Nicholas! The Will of Nicholas puts her head down into the mat hard, and that DDT was snappy and powerful! Ruler simply keeps the head locked in, as he lifts her high up in the air for a Brain Buster! He’s walking around the ring now, his arms stretched outside!
Ruler: I AM HIM! I am ending this chapter for good, and I’m taking Caroline’s career along with it!
(Caroline turns her head towards Ruler, who has visibly given his opponent enough room to walk around and recover.)
Caroline: You talk too much.
Jake Mercer: Ruler turns his head, and he’s met with a Backflip DDT! The Backflip DDT just took him out, and Ruler is stunned! Caroline holds her neck in pain, as she looks down on him! Ruler tried to go for Caroline’s neck, now it’s her turn to go after his legs! She pulls Ruler closer to the ropes, as she lifts his leg up and leaps off the second rope, and turns into a much more powerful kick to the knee! That one sounded like a gunshot!
Stew-O: She pulls the knee in, and she has it locked! The heel hook is latched in, and Ruler’s knee is starting to peer through his pain tolerance! Ruler is trying to reach for the ropes, but Caroline isn’t letting him do so! Caroline is laughing while she does this, in the same way that she laughed before she turned into the Queen of Shadows!
Flannery McCoy: I know I’m not supposed to be creeped out by it, as it’s an innocent laugh— but it creeps me the hell out. I can’t watch this. Caroline lifts her body off, and she bends Ruler’s knees inward, as she stomps on it! Ruler felt that from a mile away, and now it’s Caroline’s turn to do some showmanship around the ring! Caroline is doing some cheerleading, and she’s trying to get in Ruler’s head!
Ruler: I’m not a failure, damn it. I will win. I will become the leader and lead this forsaken company into the light. This woman will not defeat me! She will not defeat me! I am the Revolutionizer!
Jake Mercer: Caroline turns around, only to be met with a dastardly sounding Busaiku knee to her temple! Ruler wants to make her experience pain in every part of her body, but mainly going after her neck area! Ruler places his foot on her throat, and he’s trying to stop her breathing in the way he knows how! Somebody is bound to die in this ring, and if that does happen, I won’t be all that surprised!
Stew-O: Ruler doesn’t pull any force here, but neither does Caroline! She uses her strength to lift the foot up as she pulls Ruler in for a Dragon Screw! He’s down, and she leaps off the top rope for a moonsault! Ruler is stunned, and it’s Caroline going for the cover! Can she put Ruler away right here? For good, at that?
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO—
Flannery McCoy: And Ruler gets up again! Caroline pushes him back on the mat and repeatedly sends punches flying into his temple! She rolls him over, and she pulls his wrists back as she presses against Ruler’s back from an upward position! Ruler is groaning in agony, and Caroline is holding no punches back in her quest to make him suffer! Ruler gets his long legs against the rope, and referee has to start the count! Caroline lets go!
Jake Mercer: But after a split second, she sends a kick into Ruler’s back, and proceeds to throw him outside of the ring! Ruler is right next to the French commentary table, and Caroline runs off the ropes into a suicide dive! No! THE NO ESCAPE CONNECTS AND SHE DROPS RULER’S HEAD ON THE GROUND! THE DDT JUST FLOORED HIM! Caroline puts him on the commentary table, and she goes up top! Will she hit him with the 450 Splash?
Stew-O: SHE LEAPS OFF, AND THE 450 SPLASH CONNECTS, NO! IT DOESN’T! Ruler managed to slide in the nick of time, and Caroline was sent crashing down onto the table! Ruler turns around, and he slams Caroline’s head against the barricade! He runs off the opposite barricade, and sends both knees into her face for a Meteora! Caroline might’ve made a dent in the barricade using her head!
Flannery McCoy: And Ruler rolls back inside the ring, looking to catch his breath! Can he put Caroline away by DQ? The referee is going for the count here, and it’s a matter of will for the Queen of Shadows! Does she have the will to continue this match and fight through the pain? The referee begins the count now, and Caroline doesn’t seem like she’s completely out of it! Caroline comes closer to the ring at the count of SIX!
Jake Mercer: SEVEN— NO! CAROLINE ROLLS INTO THE RING, AND RULER IS STUNNED! He thought he had her out there, and it doesn’t seem like that’s the case! Ruler shakes his head, and he goads Caroline on for a fight! He wants a war here, and this match has been a back-and-forth! It’s time for both competitors to show absolute violence!
Stew-O: Caroline and Ruler come closer, and they’re tangling up! Ruler pushes her with his strength, and he uses his length to outbox Caroline, sending bare-knuckle punches slamming and flying into her face! Caroline is getting destroyed from all directions, and Ruler sweeps her off her feet and tries to send a punch down—
Flannery McCoy: No! Caroline gets up and she kips her way into a clothesline which catches Ruler off guard! Ruler is down and Caroline is ready to continue her onslaught! Ruler pushes Caroline into the ropes out of nowhere, and yet, Caroline takes the brunt but is still fighting! Caroline sends a knee into his gut, and Ruler is crouching! She gets up on the air, but Ruler follows her, she pulls Ruler in, and is she looking for it?
Jake Mercer: Why is she looking towards our table? Please no. You already destroyed one, don’t destroy ours, please…
Stew-O: She lifts Ruler up into a powerslam position, and she leaps off into a Moonsault, slamming Ruler down onto the commentary table! Jake, your phone was still on there!
Flannery McCoy: RIP.
Jake Mercer: At least I won’t have to delete my search history.
Flannery McCoy: :woah: This is still a PG show, Jake.
Stew-O: Ruler and Caroline just broke the commentary table, and Caroline just tossed you your broken iPhone 14! Caroline tosses Ruler back inside the ring, and she’s going for the cover! Can she put him away with that big move? If she does, this might be the end of the line for the Monarch of Agony!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: Can she put him away?
Flannery McCoy: NO! Ruler kicks out just in the nick of time, and Caroline is disappointed! She really thought she had Ruler that time around, but it doesn’t seem like that’s enough to make him pay! Ruler knows he’s in trouble here! Caroline goes off, and she just proceeds to ground and pound him!
Jake Mercer: Ruler manages to grab her by the throat and he’s crushing it! Ruler rolls her over, and the referee is trying to check on Caroline! Caroline manages to pull herself up, but in the process the referee is accidentally hit with an elbow! Caroline’s instincts lead her to try and check on the referee, showing that unlike Ruler, she’s not completely merciless!
Stew-O: But no! Ruler pulls her around and she’s sprayed with black mist! Ruler still held that grudge for Caroline trying to put black paint on him, a symbol of her blaming Ruler for her new demeanour! Caroline is shocked by this, and she’s sent stumbling into the referee, who, this time around, isn’t cared for by Caroline! Caroline turns towards Ruler, and she kicks him in the gut!
Flannery McCoy: Is it possible that Ruler may be regretting doing such a thing? I know it could be the case. Ruler walks towards Caroline, but Caroline ducks underneath, grabs him with an underhook and lifts him on her back for a Gory Special! She’s stretching his spine out, and this is not good for Ruler at all! Caroline has some insane strength here!
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!
(Caroline looks down on a downed Ruler, before turning to the crowd. She looks back down on him again as she pulls his head to face her, speaking.)
Caroline: You tried when I was weak, and you succeeded. Now? Not anymore.
(Caroline then has her hand raised, as she takes the New Breed Championship and the arena slowly goes dimmer. A spotlight forms onto her as Caroline walks out through the entrance ramp, leaving Ruler down and beat up in the middle of the ring.)
Jake Mercer: What a comeback win. Ruler showed out, beating Caroline and almost winning, but Caroline won the war. She ultimately showed Ruler a taste of his own medicine, and came out on top. What a night and day difference from the Caroline we once knew.
Flannery McCoy: I’m surprised you’re still complimenting her after she smashed your iPhone 14 into bits.
Jake Mercer: Oh, that wasn’t mine, Flannery. It was yours.
(Jake takes out his perfectly fine iPhone 14, as he hands Flannery her own. It turns out he swapped the casings earlier to make Flannery think she’s had a laugh.)
Flannery McCoy: You nasty mother-
(Camera fades elsewhere.)
(As Dynasty comes back onto the air, the camera would fade down to the ringside area. The lights in the arena begin to dim out, as ‘Complete Collapse’ by Sleeping With Sirens would hit the speakers of the FedEx Forum, an explosion of boos coming from the crowd in response as the current New Breed Champion herself; Caroline would make her presence known at the top of the stage. She has the championship dragging by her waist, keeping a blank, cold stare fixated on the ring as she would begin to slowly walk down the ramp way, making her way down to the ring and taking in all of the hate that was being given to her by the audience in the arena like it was just nothing to her.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please help me welcome down to the ring at this time… SHE IS THE CURRENT EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION!! CAAAARRROOOLINNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Stew-O: You may not be able to tell based on her cold and emotionless expression while making her way down to the ring at this time, but it seems like the current New Breed Champion might have a lot on her mind right now, and looks to let all of that out for the whole world to know before Pain For Pride comes around next week, and ahead of her championship defense against Hans Grayson.
Flannery McCoy: Hans Grayson and Caroline both have had many altercations with each other across both Dynasty and Showdown in the last couple of weeks, and the match being made official for Pain For Pride just recently with Caroline defending her New Breed Championship against him. It’s clear that Hans is determined to become champion, but Caroline might be just as determined if not more to retain her championship as he is to win it.
(Caroline would make it down to the ringside area, as the lights would begin to turn back on from the dim setting, and she is handed a microphone by the timekeeper. She swings the championship upward, setting it into the ring as she would take a deep exhale in, before getting up onto the apron. She enters the ring, picking the championship back up as she drags it with her once more, and she moves to the center of the ring. ‘Complete Collapse’ would fade out from there, as Caroline just stands there; staring off into the distance for a couple of moments as the crowd continued to boo her heavily. After some time, she takes the microphone and lifts it up to her lips; ready to speak her mind.)
Caroline: During my current reign as the New Breed Champion, I could even say throughout my whole career as an EAW Elitist, I have noticed a recurring issue; and that is the fact that people love to doubt those who can be unpredictable. Back when I was a sweet, innocent, young girl? I was doubted. No one thought that I had it in me to succeed in a professional wrestling world because I was too “soft.” A lot has changed since then. I’m not the same innocent little girl that people used to know me as. I’m a champion now. I have been through hell and I pulled myself back up with a whole new perspective on this terrifying, horrible, cruel world. It was almost like my mind had gone blank, gone cold. It lured me into the shadows and I conquered the demons that lurked in them. And yet, even after all that I have done, with how far I have come since who I was last year, and even with championship gold in my grasp now, I’m still doubted. To some, I’m still little ol Caroline, and it’s sickening. Absolutely sickening. I just don’t get it. I don’t.
Caroline: Look at all who I have defeated since my return to EAW back in December of last year. I dethroned Ruler to become the New Breed Champion at King Of Elite, and I finally got my revenge on him after what he had done to me months ago in his own Reserved. I have defeated the likes of Joso, and even Serenity Valdez just a couple of weeks back. I have defended my New Breed Championship successfully against the likes of Korey Gaines, Jamie Cross, and Major Michael Scott Connor. I have been one of the most dominant New Breed Champions that has been seen in quite a bit of time. I have wins over Elitists that Hans Grayson could only wish he even had the ability to be able to defeat, and yet, I’m the one who is still doubted? I’m the one who is still looked at as an underdog of sorts? I don’t get it. I don’t get how after all I have done, people still think that I can’t just throw Hans Grayson around this very ring like he was nothing and then get rid of him just like that. Because I know I can.
(Caroline drops her head down for a moment, and bites down on her tongue, going silent. She shakes her head in utter disappointment. She listens to the boos that are heard throughout the whole arena, and she just doesn’t understand it. She looks back up into the camera to speak.)
Caroline: Hans, I’m disappointed that you are who I’m going to have to defend my championship against at Pain For Pride. From the very beginning, all I asked for was an actual challenge at the biggest show of the year. All I asked for was to defend my New Breed Championship against someone who was actually worthy, who might actually have had a chance of being able to dethrone me, but instead, I have to face you. I may have been generous enough to give you a shot, but Hans, don’t go around acting like you actually have a chance to beat me. You have the whole world behind you. You have the whole entirety of this cruel world rooting for you to dethrone me at Pain For Pride, but all they’re giving you is false hope. You don’t stand a chance against me. I’m disappointed that it’s YOU who I have to defend against, but you know what? That’s okay. I’m going to make good use of this; and I’m going to destroy you, leave you a broken down, poor excuse of a man, and prove myself as the dominant champion people should’ve already been looking at me as.
Caroline: And then, I’m going to move on. I’m going to leave you behind to suffer, while I continue to move up, and I continue to elevate this championship like no other holder has ever been able to do. Not Andre Walker, not Alex Myers, not Ruler, not anyone before them. I am going to go down as the greatest New Breed Champion that this company has ever seen, and you’re not going to be able to stop that. I’m not going to allow for you to stop that. Do you understand that, Hans? I truly believe that our match at Pain For Pride is going to be the most predictable result of them all; you fail. You fall. You lose. I retain the New Breed Championship when there shouldn’t have ever been any doubt, and you’re going to go back to being absolutely nothing, while I move on from you and I move on to greater things. You’re just not ready to hold this championship. And I don’t think you will ever be ready. I don’t think you will ever have what it takes to be a champion in EAW, and I will stand by that. You’re a failure.
(As Caroline lowered her microphone away from her for a moment, looking to recollect her thoughts, that was when ‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ by AFI would hit the speakers of the arena. The boos immediately fade out and into an explosion of cheers, as Hans Grayson made his way out onto the stage. Caroline turned her head into the direction of the stage, locking eyes with Hans as she sighed in disappointment. Hans would make his way down to the ring, grabbing a microphone as he would quickly enter into the ring, taking in the cheers and chants heard throughout the arena, as ‘The Leaving Song’ fades out. Once Hans goes face to face with Caroline, he lifts his microphone up to speak; only for Caroline to stop him.)
Caroline: No, Hans. You stop right there, you shouldn’t even be allowed to speak right now. Who do you think you are, coming to MY show, interrupting MY time, and think that you can get any words in against me? That’s now how it works here. Wait until the B Shows on Saturday night to be able to do that.
Hans Grayson: Nah. I don’t think I will wait, Caroline.
(Caroline goes to say something back at Hans, possibly out of frustration, but she instead would hold herself back, biting down on her tongue to refrain herself from going off on her challenger for Pain For Pride; and giving him what he wants; the time to be able to speak.)
Hans Grayson: I’m not going to just wait until Saturday on Showdown to speak my mind against you, because I’m going to do it while we’re face to face, quite possibly the last opportunity I will have before Pain For Pride to be able to say what I want to say to your face. And besides Caroline, in the most recent weeks leading up to now, you have taken nearly everything away from me. You have taken my time to actually speak away from me, you have taken my opportunities to prove myself as a threat to your championship away from me, you have taken away chances at getting a huge win against the top Elitists of my brand away from me, but most of all, you have tried to take away my own validation; my own claim to the New Breed Championship. And I’m sick and tired of just sitting around, and taking any of the verbal abuse that you decide you can just throw at me, because I know that what you say isn’t true. I know who I am, and I know what I am capable of doing when against you. I don’t think you see that.
Hans Grayson: You downplay me, you put me down, say that I don’t have a chance to defeat you, but I can tell even you know that’s far from the truth. I can tell in your voice, I can tell when looking into your eyes that you know I can beat you. You know that I can dethrone you and become the New Breed Champion. I’ve been waiting for this moment, and now that I finally got it, I’m not going to allow you to take it from me. I’m not going to allow you to take away my validation anymore. Pain For Pride is the biggest match of my career, on the biggest stage EAW has to offer, the opportunity to win my first championship here, and you’re not taking it from me. I’m going to prove you wrong. I’m going to prove you to be nothing more than a hypocrite who can’t see errors in her statements. You talked about people doubting your ability, then doubting my ability. At Pain For Pride, your statements fall flat, and you look up at the lights while I’m holding the New Breed Championship high into the air? You’ll realize you’re wrong.
(Caroline simply sighs at this.)
Caroline: You see Hans, this is exactly your issue. You can’t handle the truth. You continue to tell yourself things that you hope can just become true. That your fantasies can become a reality, when that is all that they will ever be. A fantasy. You won’t admit it. Because it hurts for you to admit that you’re not good enough. I can say that you’re not going to beat me as much as I want, and you’re going to continue to deny it because you just can’t handle the fact that when we are in the same ring, standing across from each other, your chances zero to none, and then you fail. And that will always be the sum of your career here in EAW. You try, and you try, and you try some more, but you fail. You’ll always fail. Pain For Pride won’t be the night that your dreams finally come true, because they’re never going to. They will always be dreams and nothing more, and sooner rather than later, you are going to have to accept that. That you’re not good enough. That you’ll never be good enough. This New Breed Championship will never be yours.
Hans Grayson: If that’s what you want to believe Caroline, then so be it. Clearly I’m not going to change your mind. Clearly I’m not going to get you to understand where you’re wrong, and why you shouldn’t be doubting me. But that’s okay, because at Pain For Pride, I prove you wrong. At Pain For Pride, I prove that I’m good enough. I prove that I can beat you. I prove that I can become champion in EAW when I am raising the New Breed Championship high into the air. I know who I am. I know my worth. I know that I can, and that I will defeat you at Pain For Pride, and if you don’t want to believe me, then I can’t make you believe me. If my verbal indication isn’t enough for you, then I’m just going to leap high into the air, and punch your face in. And then I am going to lariat your head right off of your body, until you can’t compete any further. Maybe then you will come to terms with the fact that I was good enough, and maybe even with the terms that I was better than you.
(Hans Grayson would lower his microphone away from him, indicating that he had finished speaking. Caroline takes a couple of moments, as she goes to raise her microphone back up, looking to speak once more, but she had other plans. She drops her microphone to the mat, then her championship as Hans tries to react, but he is top late.)
Stew-O: CAROLINE!!! CAROLINE CATCHES HANS GRAYSON RIGHT OFF GUARD, AND SHE SPITS THAT BLACK MIST RIGHT INTO HER CHALLENGER’S FACE!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT NO! HANS ANTICIPATED IT! HE SAW IT COMING AND HE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! CAROLINE DOESN’T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND AND FOLLOW UP, AS HANS TACKLES HER DOWN TO THE MAT, AND WE HAVE A BRAWL ON OUR HANDS! THESE TWO ARE GOING AT IT!
Jake Mercer: HANS IS NAILING CAROLINE ALL OVER WITH THOSE LEFTS AND RIGHTS AS CAROLINE IS TRYING TO GUARD UP AND KICK HANS OFF OF HER!! Hans quickly gets up to his feet, and he turns away from Caroline, and he’s feeding off the crowd, but that might not be the best idea as Caroline is back up and she has the title in her hands! Hans doesn’t even know!
Stew-O: Hans quickly turns back around to Caroline, not realizing that she was up to her feet and is stalking him! AND CAROLINE RUSHES IN AND FORCES HANS TO EAT A BELT SHOT RIGHT TO THE FACE! BUT HANS DUCKS IT! HE DUCKS IT, AND CAROLINE TURNS BACK TO HIM!!!
Flannery McCoy: ‘FLAMING PUNCH!!!’ HANS GRAYSON LEAPS OFF OF HIS FEET, CONNECTING WITH THAT MASSIVE PUNCH TO CAROLINE’S JAW, AND SHE CRUMBLES DOWN TO THE MAT! Hans is standing tall over the current New Breed Champion, but I don’t think that is done just yet! He wants to put the finishing touches on this brawl, and take the champion out!
(Hans stumbles around, before he falls back into the ropes, he would exit the ring through the middle rope, going out onto the apron as he positions himself comfortably, and he awaits for Caroline to get back to her feet, shouting at her to do so as he wants to send the biggest message possible.)
Hans Grayson: GET UP! GET UP DAMMIT! JUST GET UP!
(Caroline would rise back up…)
Jake Mercer: Caroline is back to her feet, and she doesn’t even know who is stalking her down on the apron, as she turns around! AND HANS GRAYSON SLINGSHOTS HIMSELF, FRONT FLIPPING INTO THE RING AND TAKING CAROLINE’S HEAD OFF OF HER BODY WITH THE LARIAT!!! HANS NAILS THE CHAMPION WITH THE ‘BURNING SHOT LARIAT!!!’
Stew-O: NO! CAROLINE DUCKS IT!
(Caroline was just barely able to slip to the side of the incoming Hans. She quickly grabbed her championship as she fell down to the mat from her quick move to the side, and she would immediately roll out of the ring to avoid any more offense from Hans. Hans would get up into a seated position, turning towards the ramp as he watches Caroline begin to backpedal up with her championship tightly in her grasp up to her chest.)
Stew-O: Hans almost just took the champion’s head off, but she was able to barely move out of harm’s way! If he hits that Burning Shot Lariat at Pain For Pride, we might be seeing a new New Breed Champion!
(Caroline would continue to backpedal, making it up to the top of the stage as she clearly looked pissed off. Hans Grayson would get back up to his feet in the middle of the ring, as the two continued to lock eyes with each other. Hans clearly isn’t happy either and it shows. Caroline would raise her New Breed Championship high in the air, showing it off to Hans from the top of the stage, as Hans would go on to make a title motion around his waist, and the camera would then fade elsewhere and into a commercial break.)
(The camera would fade to the backstage area, as Michael Belfort is seen standing up in a dimly lit room. He has a smile on his face while his microphone is being fixed, making some last second arrangements. After some time, a video package would begin to fade in; showcasing both the Off-Brand Amphetamines, as well as The Queen Bees; the two Dynasty representatives taking part in the fatal four way tag team match for the Unified Tag Team Championships at Pain For Pride. The camera fades back into the room, as Michael lifts his microphone up; ready to speak.)
Michael Belfort: Supremacy. Many chance it, many desire it, yet only few can achieve it. And even fewer can replicate it. Over the past couple of years, some of EAW’s very best tag team bouts have come with the price of the Unified Tag Team Championships being on the line, and yet, at this year’s Pain For Pride, the chase has stakes that are higher than ever before. A fatal four way tag team match. POTARA’s Tag Team Championships on the line. While they are going to have to deal with Showdown’s Dominion in the match, they are also going to have to deal with two Dynasty tag teams; that being the teams of the Off-Brand Amphetamines, and the Queen Bees. Two teams who both chase the same thing, and that is not only to become the tag champions, but just to be able to achieve Dynasty Tag Team Supremacy.
(Many clips of both the Off-Brand Amphetamines and Queen Bees in action begin to play across the screen. Highlighting some of their best moments, whether it was as a tag team, or even when going solo. The two teams have been through a lot since season sixteen, yet have both earned their way into the Pain For Pride match that they have their eyes locked upon. Only one team can become the tag team champions, and that is going to be talked about right now, as the camera fades back to Michael Belfort, and he continues to speak up again.)
Michael Belfort: It is no secret that these two teams have been two of the very best teams that the Dynasty brand has had to possibly offer throughout most of if not all of season sixteen. There have been many teams that came and gone. Teams like Nick Hart and Shane Gates, Soul Food Sunday, amongst so many others, but throughout all of that, it was the Off-Brand Amphetamines, and later the Queen Bees who would keep above ground, who wouldn’t let friction get to the best of them, and they stuck together. Both with common goals; to become the Unified Tag Team Champions. One team may be more accomplished than the other, but that doesn’t mean that these two teams haven’t had their fair share of experiences against each other, because they have. In fact, they have competed against each other quite a bit throughout this season in itself.
(Clips of the multiple encounters throughout season sixteen between the Queen Bees and Off-Brand Amphetamines would then begin to play. Their tag team matches on Friday Night Dynasty throughout the season, where they would trade victories against one another. And probably the most important match of their series; when at the Operation: Doomsday Dynasty exclusive marquee event, the Off-Brand Amphetamines teamed up with Milli Banks to defeat the Queen Bees, who teamed with Madison Kaline in trios action. These teams have been tied up with each other for quite a while now, and it may be coming to a close.)
Michael Belfort: There have been many teams in the EAW’s history that were looked upon as nothing special. There have been many teams in the EAW’s history where they were put together because of unfortunate circumstances, or they were their own worst enemies, and they ended up turning out to be one of the best tag teams to stand tall at the time. When it comes to the Off-Brand Amphetamines, that is the complete opposite that would happen. When they formed back before the Battle Of Egypt event near the end of season fifteen, it would be due to the unfortunate events of Solomon Stane’s then partner, Johnny Andrews, being taken out. He needed to find a new partner, and that was when Kirk Redwood came into play. They immediately connected, and they immediately became a force to be reckoned with, both with the common goal of hurt and destruction.
Michael Belfort: But, they were looked down on. They were made to look as if they didn’t stand a chance, as if they were never going to have what it takes to be the Unified Tag Team Champions. They were the underdogs in this situation, but they made the absolute most out of it, when at the Battle Of Egypt event, they would go on to beat two of the very best teams that EAW had to offer; both at that time, and of all time, when they would beat not only The High Rollerz, but The Haircare Kings as well, dethroning them to become the Unified Tag Team Champions. They had a nice reign, they even made it out of Pain For Pride with a successful defense, but in the end, all good things were going to come to an end, and the same would happen for these two.
(Highlights begin to play once more. It shows the night that Johnny Andrews would go down, leaving Solomon Stane in complete defeat and worry. But it would then immediately transition, fading into the night that Solomon would find his new partner; Kirk Redwood, thus the Off-Brand Amphetamines being formed on that night. Clips of their Unified Tag Team Championships win at Battle Of Egypt III play, on top of multiple clips highlighting their wins against the likes of MarrKade, successfully defending the championships against The Ice Aces at Pain For Pride. It looked like it was only up for them.)
Michael Belfort: At Midsummer Massacre of last year – the very first show of the season – the Off-Brand Amphetamines would be tasked with their toughest challenge yet, as they would defend the Unified Tag Team Championships against the then recently formed team that was called The Prescription; consisting of Dr. Bethany Blue and Sheridan Muller. They put in a performance of a lifetime, but in the end, it just wasn’t enough, and Kirk and Solomon would end up falling to The Prescription, losing their championships in the process. Since then, it has been about nothing more than bouncing back for the two men, and they have continuously attempted doing exactly that, but they just haven’t been able to make much progress, and that looks like it would end up being a recurring problem for the two, and they looked to be lost in the shuffle once again, like they once were.
Michael Belfort: At Territorial Invasion, Kirk and Solomon would represent the Dynasty brand for the first time ever in the Brand Warfare match, and even though they put in a good performance, it ended up not being enough to hang around very long. From there, they didn’t make it onto the Justified Reckoning event. They make it over to Road To Redemption; where Solomon Stane would win the Extreme Enigma Elimination Match, getting a huge prize in money, as well as earning the Off-Brand Amphetamines another shot at regaining the Unified Tag Team Championships. But, would end up failing at the King Of Elite, falling to Soul Food Sunday in a triple threat tag match. They got the huge win against the Queen Bees and Madison Kaline at Operation: Doomsday, but didn’t do so well in the Grand Rampage match. But now? They have made it to Pain For Pride.
(Then, highlights of the Off-Brand Amphetamines season begin to play. The Brand Warfare match, to their long lasting rivalry against Nick Hart and Shane Gates. Solomon Stane winning the Extreme Enigma Elimination Match at Road To Redemption, only for him and Kirk to fail capturing the championships at King Of Elite. The huge win against Madison Kaline and Queen Bees at Operation: Doomsday, only to be followed by the disappointing run in the Grand Rampage match. But, one win over #DisneyBesties would be enough to get them into the match at Pain For Pride, to become champions one more time.)
Michael Belfort: Kirk and Solomon earned the opportunity to be in the fatal four way match at Pain For Pride, and I am sure that they are going to make sure they make the absolute most out of it. But, on the other side of the Dynasty coin, you have the Queen Bees; Sierra Bradford and Mei Sasaki. Two women whose main purpose of forming with Serenity Valdez was for supremacy to begin with. Forming near the midpoint of the season at Justified Reckoning, the Queen Bees would quickly move up the ranks, getting big wins after big wins, but they were still in the singles conversation, and not much the tag team division. It has been a bumpy road for the Queen Bees, losing in some of their biggest matches that they could have taken part in, but they have made the absolute most out of what they’re given.
Michael Belfort: At the Road To Redemption event at the end of the year, all three members of the Queen Bees competed for singles championships. While Serenity was defending her Specialist Championship inside of an Elimination Chamber, Sierra Bradford and Mei Sasaki focused in on the Interwire and the New Breed Championships. But unfortunately for them, it would only end in failure. On that one night, all three members of the Queen Bees failed. Serenity lost her championship, and Sierra and Mei failed to capture the championships they were going after. After that night, Mei and Sierra would realize that they had a Milli problem that they would need to take care of. It’s safe to say that trying to take care of the Milli problem didn’t turn out the best for the Queen Bees, as they would only once more suffer in defeat in their attempts of doing so.
(As the final highlights of the Off-Brand Amphetamines would conclude, it was transitioned over into highlights showcasing Sierra Bradford and Mei Sasaki of the Queen Bees. Clips of the night that they would form with Justified Reckoning with Serenity Valdez would play, but before we need to get to where they are at now, we have to experience the downs. Clips of the Queen Bees failures at Road To Redemption plays, followed by their consecutive losses in matches that involved Milli Banks when they had attempted to get rid of the Milli problem. They were left in nothing but defeat.)
Michael Belfort: But, although the Queen Bees have never had a taste of the tag team gold together before, that doesn’t mean they don’t have experience. Sierra Bradford. She is a former Unified Tag Team Champion when she was teaming up with Harper Lee in The Realm, and that experience might help her teach Mei Sasaki. It should also be known that around the time before Operation: Doomsday, The Queen Bees would end up being tied up with Sienna Jade during her quest of cutting Serenity Valdez to size. This wasn’t going to end well, knowing that Sienna had been the one who trained Mei in the first place. Mei and Sienna had a confrontation on Dynasty a couple of weeks ago, with Sienna teaching Mei a lesson in quick fashion. But this wasn’t the end that we see of The Queen Bees, as they were given a second chance.
Michael Belfort: And in that second chance match, they would go on to make a statement that I’m sure everyone knew that they could make, when they would end up defeating Candice Blair and Halsey Neel of #DisneyBesties, and they would end up booking their ticket to Pain For Pride.
(Old clips of Sierra Bradford’s time within The Realm with Harper Lee would play, including the night that they would win the Unified Tag Team Championships, showcasing just how much of a benefit that Sierra could be to Mei in this match at Pain For Pride. Clips of the whole Queen Bees / Sienna Jade saga also plays, before we would make it over to Dynasty just a couple of weeks ago, where The Queen Bees would defeat #DisneyBesties in a second chance tag team match, and would punch their ticket to Pain For Pride, joining the fatal four way match.)
Michael Belfort: These two teams both look for two things and two things only to come out of this fatal four way match at Pain For Pride; becoming the Unified Tag Team Champions, and proving their Dynasty Tag Team Supremacy. They have encountered each other multiple times in the best, but neither team has their number over the other. Only time will tell when the match takes place, which will be soon. Very soon. Will it be The Queen Bees who bring the championships back to Dynasty to end the season right, or the Off-Brand Amphetamines? I guess we’ll see.
(Michael Belfort would wave into the camera, as highlights of both teams would begin to play one last time. It showcases some of their best moments as a team, and how they are willing and determined to do anything necessary to be able to win at Pain For Pride, dethrone POTARA and become the Unified Tag Team Champions once and for all, but only time will tell what happens when we get there. The camera would then slowly begin to fade to back from there, putting an end to the segment as Dynasty would go on to a commercial break.)
[SCREENBAR: Milli Banks vs ARIA – Specialists Championship – Grand Rampage 2023]
Stephie Love: THIS NEXT MATCH IS SET FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( ‘Princess Diana’ by Ice Spice feat. Nicki Minaj. Began BLASTING through the speakers toa HUGE array of cheers, that would’ve drowned out even the LOUDEST of boo’s, as slowly, coming from the right side of the titan-tron; a dark blue hummer began to roll up on the side of the stage, also blasting ‘Princess Diana’ through out it, driven by a chauffeur, as Milli Banks could be seen passenger side; wearing white and gold accented shades, and as the car came to a complete stop; you could also notice she was in a similar yellow and gold bodysuit, complimenting the colors of the Specialist’s Championship itself; with Milli Banks taking a moment to look around the arena, a grin on her face as her demeanor just SCREAMED determined. )
( But lining the ramps would be dancers, going all the way down the ramp as they shimmied, milli-rocked :mjgrin:, and… Twerked ( The appropriate Disney Amount ) for their head honcho, Milil Banks who began making her way down to the ring, exchanging words with certain dancers who just grinned, continuing to vibe out to Milli’s theme, as Banks finally made her way fully down the ramp, taking off her shades and throwing them into the crowd for a lucky fan to catch, as she slowly began to climb up the apron, splitting the ropes before walking through as she began to stretch her limbs, refocusing on the task at hand, staring at the titan-tron before Aria even had the chance of entering as she breathed in, refocusing as slowly the dancers would clear out; the challenger ready to meet the champion. )
Stephie Love: AND INTRODUCING FIRST… THE CHALLENGER, HAILING FROM BROOKLYN, NEW YORK… SHE IS, ‘THE IT GIRL’…. MILLIIIIIIII BANKSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
Stew-O: So… we gonna talk about that?
Jake Mercer: Where do we start, the hummer, the theme, or the fact I think those are Nicki Minaj’s actual back-up dancers?
Flannery McCoy: I mean we COULD talk about those things, OR we could talk about Milli Banks! Ya know, the one IN the match? Look at her, look at her composure, look at her FOCUS; she is ready for this match, she is ready for Aria, and she is READY to win this Specialist’s Championship!
Jake Mercer: I’d hope so! She needs to be on her A-Game. She needs to be Big Bills Mills’, and she can NOT be the same Milli Banks who last at Justified Reckoning or Road to Redemption, REGARDLESS of how those losses happened. She is facing a VERY game Champion, and anything less than BEYOND her best? Isn’t good enough.
( As ‘Princess Diana’ faded out, ‘MEGITSUNE’ blasted through the speakers to an absolute UPROAR of cheers, as THE SPECIALIST CHAMPION, Aria began to make her way out towards the ring via Gorilla Position; wearing a blue and blue color schemed gear, accened by blue face paint directly under her eyes; as Aria carried the Specialist Championship around her shoulder, looking at it lovingly, before looking at Milli Banks and knowing the task at hand; as she took a breath in, before beginning to walk down the ramp; sending high fives to the people in the front row of the crowd; a composed nature to the Champion, confident and calculated knowing the task at hand wasn’t an easy one; but one she needed to topple. )
( Slowly, Aria would make her way fully to the side of the ring, getting in front of the apron that was highlighted by the hard-cam, as she hopped on top of it; aiming out towards the camera as she slowly began peeling off the Specialist’s Championship from her shoulder, staring at it once more, before looking forward yet again and raising it high in the air; triggering a HEAVY level of pyro into the air for the Champion as Aria grinned, looking as the sparks flew in the sky, before Aria finally got into the ring; savoring her moment with the title before finally giving it to the ref, sharing a look with Milli as she did so as she entered her corner, ready for the fight of her life. )
Stephie Love: AND INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT…. THE SPECIALIST’S CHAMPION… HAILING FROM CHANDLER, ARIZONA…. ‘’THE SACRED DETECTIVE’….. ARRRIIIAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Stew-O: And there goes the Champion, the woman to DETHRONE Serenity Valdez against the odds at Road to Redemption, the woman to TOPPLE Sierra Everett at Tempest, and the woman to BEAT Lexi in her first bout whilst defending the Specialist’s Championship – and tonight? Tonight Aria wants to grow her legacy by adding another name to that list, that name being the one of Milli Banks!
Jake Mercer: And Stew? I would be lying if I said Aria didn’t have a serious chance of doing that. Aria has been reaching uncapped levels of radiance in that ring, and now? Now I only see her going further up to a level HIGH above the rest of our current women’s division – and how I see it? If Milli Banks doesn’t do this tonight, the pool for people who can? Get’s very small.
Flannery McCoy: Agreed, if Aria topples this mountain? I could see her reign going on a couple more months, and with that? Aria has the opportunity to set herself as the GREATEST Specialist’s Champion of all time; an accolade I’m sure she wants, and whether or not she gets that foot in the door tonight? Time shall only tell.
( Ding! Ding! Ding)
Stew-O: SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP TIME, MILLI BANKS VS ARIA, CHAMPION VS CHALLENGER, LETS GO!
Jake Mercer: I can tell you’re excited Stew, but who ISN’T excited for this?! This is a dream match for ANY EAW Viewer – understand that right now these are two EXTREMELY talented women; but not JUST two talented women – two women who both want the SAME thing, the coveted Specialist’s Championship that has put CAREERS CEMENTED in EAW history; ala Brody Sparks, Andrea Valentine, Serenity Valdez, Miku Sakai, I mean the list goes ON!
Jake Mercer: This is history incarnate, with Aria trying to prolong her trip on Champion’s row, and Milli Banks trying to bust down the proverbial door and make her OWN way onto the title scene, don’t down play it, don’t overlook it – Aria vs Milli Banks is about to STEAL the show!
Flannery McCoy: I couldn’t agree more, and now? I think the moment is FINALLY hitting both Aria and Milli Banks, as the two begin to circle the ring; and yet? I don’t think they’re even focused on each other! No, I believe this Boston crowd has attracted BOTH of their attention!
Crowd: LET’S GO ARIA! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO ARIA! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO ARIA! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Stew-O: Seems like the crowd tonight here favors towards the champion –
Crowd: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Jake Mercer: You stand VERY corrected, Stew! This arena can’t seem to properly choose a side if they wanted to! Milli and Aria are at a fifty fifty split with the crowd tonight, but even so?This place sounds like it’s going to blow its TOP off!
Flannery McCoy: And those emotions must be hitting BOTH of these girls hard, as the two share a glance with each other; neither one having a word being said between one another, just a nod to each other; with Milli Banks growing a grin, and Aria rolling her shoulders; relaxing herself, as now I think it’s time these two got to work!
Jake Mercer: Seems so, Flann’! As now, Milli Banks and Aria are looking for a traditional start to this match, as both Elitist reach out for one another… Before locking up in a collar and elbow tie-up! Milil and Aria fighting for strength supremacy here, as neither one of these two are pushing the other forwards or backwards; a COMPLETE stalemate here!
Stew-O: Seems like it, with Milli Banks and Aria seemingly holding nothing back; they are PERFECTLY balancing each other out – though looking now, it seems that Milil has somehow managed a standing switch on Aria, getting behind her for a waist lock, but Aria quickly grabbing down at Milli’s hands, trying to peel her off; which seems successful thus far even as Milli is trying to lift Aria off the mat!
Flannery McCoy: Aria wants to make sure she’s in a no fly zone, leveraging her weight down so she doesn’t exit her feet off the mat; as now Aria successfully unlatches Milli Banks’s hands from her waist! Holding both of them now as she spreads them away, Aria trying to turn around whilst keeping Milli’s hands detained in her own, with Aria now turning to face Milli – AND ARIA LETTING GO QUICKLY AND TUCKING MILLI INTO A DDT POSITION, LOOKING TO LAND ONE QUICKLY ONTO BANKS!!!
Jake Mercer: AND ARIA FALLS TO THE MAT WITH HER NECK HOOKED AROUND MILLI, LOOKING LIKE THE DDT CONNECTED – NO! It looks like Milli Banks put her hands out in a handstand esque position JUST before her head collided with the ring mat, as Aria lies flat on the floor; though seemingly AWARE Banks evaded the maneuver, as Aria instantly begins to sit up; Milil Banks quickly transitioning to the ropes as soon as she gets up to her feet, shifting back to Aria as she looks to land a quick hesitation dropkick into the head of Aria –
Stew-O: But Aria ducks down with ANOTHER reversal, sending Milli to skid against the mat past Aria, who quickly kips up following her dodge, Aria turning to Milli Banks as she QUICKLY throws her body into the air; looking for a standing senton right onto Milli Banks – BUT MILLI WITH A REVERSAL NOW, ROLLING OUT THE WAY!
Jake Mercer: And Aria looked like she landed awkwardly on her back, as Milli Banks gets into a vertical position, scrambling to stand over Aria as she gains her composure; BEFORE LOOKING TO HIT A STANDING MOONSAULT ON TOP OF THE CHAMPION – AND ARIA REVERSES AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: YES! ARIA LIFTING THE KNEES UP ONTO MILLI WHICH SENDS HER JOLTED UP INTO A POSITION ON HER KNEES! Aria propping herself up with the help of the ropes quickly, with Milli Banks in front of her directly, still slightly stunned from the knees of Aria; THOUGH ARIA NOW LOOKING TO LAND A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW OF A KNEELING MILLI BANKS… AND MILLI AGAIN NOT LETTING UP! CATCHING THE BOOT AS SHE SWINGS ARIA AROUND, CLIPPING ARIA’S TIGHTS AS SHE BRINGS HER TO THE MAT, LOOKING FOR THE COVER!!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE—-
Stew-O: OH MY GOD, EXTREMELY CLOSE CALL FROM ARIA WHO KICKS OUT; THOUGH INSTANTLY GRABBING MILLI BANKS’S SHOULDERS AS SHE DRAGS THEM TO THE MAT, BEFORE LOCKING HER LEGS AROUND MILLI’S SHOULDER AREA AND TUGGING BANKS’S LEGS DOWN WITH HER ARMS, LOOKING FOR HER OWN ROLL-UP!!!!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—-
Jake Mercer: AND NOW IT’S A CLOSE KICKOUT FROM MILLI BANKS WHO JOLTS UP, INSTANTLY CRAWLING AWAY FROM ARIA AS SHE SEEMS A BIT STARTLED – AND ARIA DOES THE SAME!
Flannery McCoy: When you said this would be even, you were NOT wrong; with all the maneuvers these two have attempted to hit? NEITHER one of these women has inflicted much of any punishment on the other, and now? Now we are REALLY in store for something amazing!
Crowd: LET’S GO ARIA! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO ARIA! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Stew-O: The crowd is feeling it, WE are feeling it, and I am sure THEY are feeling it; we are in store for MAGIC, Flan’; as now these two are slowly beginning to reach their feet, and from here it’s time for the second coming of the feeling out process!
Milli Banks (off-mic): I’M going to be Specialist’s Champion!
Aria (off-mic): Oh? Then come take it from me.
Jake Mercer: With certain words now spilling between these two, as the aura of this match has turned from starstruck to high octane determination; otherwise translated as FURY coming from both Elitist’s in the ring currently, as now Milli Banks steps up to the middle of the ring; followed shortly by Aria, and the faceoff ensues!
Crowd: LET’S GO ARIA! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO ARIA! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Stew-O: And with more words being said closely between these two, you could only WONDER what is going to come out of this altercation –
Jake Mercer: I’LL TELL YOU WHAT IS STEW, A SLAP FROM MILLI BANKS! A CLEAN SLAP FROM MILLI BANKS RIGHT ONTO THE JAW OF ARIA, AND SHE’S STUNNED!
Flannery McCoy: And Milli Banks is motioning her hands right above her waist, SCREAMING at Aria; and now how will the champion respond to this?! :lupe:
Jake Mercer: It looks like it is taking a second for Aria to process what exactly just went down, holding her jaw as she turns to Milli Banks with a face of pure rage – AND NOW SHE DELIVERS A SLAP OF HER OWN TO MILLI BANKS, SENDING MILLI INTO A FULL 360!!!
Stew-O: And you can see the red blotch form on BOTH of these ladies cheeks, these two are NOT pulling their punches – or better termed, SLAPS as now Milli Banks looks enthralled; not turning to face Aria yet, as she clutches a fist – AND MILLI BANKS SWINGING WILDLY WITH A RIGHT HAND OUT OF NOWHERE, LOOKING TO CLOCK ARIA WHEN SHE LEASTS EXPECTS IT!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT ARIA DUCKS IT, RUSHING FORWARD TO THE ROPES AS IT LOOKS LIKE MILLI BANKS IS SPINNING OUT FROM THE SHEER POWER! A huge overlook for Milli Banks, as Aria looks to flip onto the ropes, expressing her gymnastic skills, as it seems like Aria is planning to flip RIGHT onto a standing Milli Banks and wipe her onto the floor –
Jake Mercer: OH MY GOD, ARIA GOT PICKED OUT THE AIR BY MILLI BANKS – ‘NEW BODY, NEW BODY, NEW BODY!!!!!’ ARIA JUST GOT NAILED WITH MILLI BANKS’S FINISHER, AND SHE BOUNCES ONTO THE MAT, MILLI INSTANTLY RUSHING INTO THE COVER, MILLI BANKS IN THE COVER, MILLI BANKS FOR THE WIN TONIGHT!!!!
OONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Stew-O: NO! NO ARIA KICKS OUT, AND THIS CROWD IS OUT OF THEIR SEATS; MAMMA MIAAAAAA!!!! Milli can’t believe it, WE can’t believe it, and I’m sure ARIA can’t believe it; that was as close as it gets! Milli tasted gold but Aria BARELY kept this win out of arms reach for Milli, as she kicks out with less than a MILLI SECOND to spare!
Jake Mercer: I’m gobsmacked, that was an INSANE maneuver from Milli Banks who now is left to search how exactly she is meant to capitalize off of this near pinfall, with Milli Banks not trying to waste much time; KNOWING time is not on her side, with Banks quickly moving towards the corner as she quickly looks to mount it, and if I was to guess? Milli Banks is going to show us what it looks like to see her on AIR.
Flannery McCoy: I love Aria, but if Milli Banks can land a ‘Milli-On-Air’ RIGHT after her ‘New Body’ maneuver? I don’t see any way of Aria kicking out, but we are BOUND to find out now; as Milli Banks is beginning to scale the top rope, with Aria laying down in PERFECT position now; nowhere to go, as Milli Banks reaches the top rope; looking around the Boston crowd, enjoying the moment for herself, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW SHE MIGHT JUST WIN THE SPECIALIST’S CHAMPIONSHIP; MILLI BANKS FOCUSING DOWN ON ARIA, AS SHE FINALLY DECIDES TO JUMP; LOOKING FOR HER CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS, ‘MILLI-ON-AIR’!!!!! AND IT CONNECTS —
Jake Mercer: NO!!! NO ARIA MOVED OUT THE WAY, AND MILLI JUST PLANTS HERSELF ON THE MAT! Milli BOUNCING up to her knees, as she holds her chest for dear life after planting herself perfectly onto it, trying to work through the pain – BUT ARIA IS UP TO HER FEET, GETTING AN EARLY SECOND WIN AS SHE BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES, MILLI BANKS SEEING HER BUT REALIZING TOO LATE –
Stew-O: ‘J4AAAAAAAA!!!!!’ JUSTICE FOR ALL, A HUGE RUNNING KNEE STRIKES MAKES MILLI BANKS JUST FOLD INTO PAPER, FLEXIBLE IN A WAY SHE DOES NOT WANT TO BE; AS ARIA PINS MILLI’S SHOULDERS DOWN INSTANTANEOUSLY, CLUTCHING THEM DOWN FOR DEAR LIFE, AS THE REF BEGINS TO COUNT!!!!
OOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
…
…
Jake Mercer: AND NOW IT’S MILLI WHO KICKS OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE REFEREE COULD CALL IT, MILLI SURVIVES! MILLI SURVIVES!
Flannery McCoy: Okay, well it’s too perfect NOT to mention how mirrored that was, it seems that no matter what either of these women do; NEITHER of them can get the upper hand on the other, and everything is COMPLETELY evened out when all is said and done – and SURE, maybe it is meant to be expected; but to this extent? I just can’t see this match ending other than a time limit stoppage; and we JUST begun.
Stew-O: Time will tell, though, Aria has Milli Banks in a downed position; as Banks is still completely stunned, Aria has less of a time getting grips with herself, but with how Milli Banks turned out trying to go for it all? I think Aria is trying to take it slow now, realizing she has a whole match ahead of herself to fight for, and Aria now begins pulling Milli to the center of the ring.
Jake Mercer: Milli Banks not holding much of a fight-up against Aria currently, as now the Champion is getting level with the Challenger, getting grips around Banks’s neck , and now Aria locking in a crossface onto Milli, beginning to wear down her opponent!
Flannery McCoy: And Milli Banks is now showing signs of life, urgency within the challenger as she begins to try and scramble towards the ropes; though again a showcase of how tactical Aria is, forcing Milli to use MORE energy due to being in the middle of the ring, as now all Aria needs to do is keep the hold in tight; knowing that she isn’t WINNING with this crossface, but the more she forces Milli to struggle? The better her odds get.
Jake Mercer: And with Milli beginning to get more and more weary in this hold, she begins to show more signs of desperation as she clutches her hand into a fist; trying to muscle herself through, before DRAGGING her fist against the ground; pulling her closer to the rope, before FINALLY grabbing it; with Aria not even waiting for the count to begin, as she lets go instantly, out of respect for her challenger as Milli stays more cautious about Aria trying to continue locking in submissions in this match
Flannery McCoy: And Milli iSHOULD bemaintain this level of cautiousness for the future, now seeing how dangerous Aria can be as a technical wrestler; as Banks pulls herself past the bottom rope, getting onto the apron as she looks to help herself up at a further distance from her opponent.
Jake Mercer: And Aria noticing the precarious positioning from Milli Banks, a fall from here might not be far from the floor; but STILL devastating, as Aria now looks to catch a recovering Milli Banks off guard; as Milli begins getting to her feet, Aria taking a lap to the opposing ropes, bouncing off of them as she looks to collide her shoulder into the gut of Milli Banks, taking her out – BUT MILLI EVADES! SIDE STEPPING AS ARIA’S CORE GETS SENT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE – AND MILLI SENDING A KNEE INTO THE UPPER CHEST OF ARIA!
Stew-O: And that stunned Aria who is still laying over the middle rope, dazed by the knee as Milli Banks drags Aria’s body over the middle rope and onto the apron, leaving Aria hunched over, Milli takes a breath for the moment; regaining herself as she looks at Aria’s positioning on the apron, taking a moment to think… BUT MILLI NOW, JUMPING RIGHT ONTO THE BACK OF ARIA – AND A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB CRASHING ARIA ON THE CORNER OF THE APRON, THE CHAMPION JUST ARCHING HER BACK IN PAIN AS SHE FALLS OFF THE APRON!
Flannery McCoy: Milli could NOT have picked a better place to put Aria down with that powerbomb, as now Banks is in a state of control she wasn’t in before, with Aria down to a knee on the outside; it seems like Milli is in no hurry to join her out there yet; rather enjoying stalking her on the apron instead, knowing she holds a sort of height advantage, as Aria begins to slowly bring herself up to a vertical position; holding her back in a state of anguish, with Milli Banks finding Aria’s positioning perfect AGAIN it seems – WITH MILLI BANKS RUNNING OFF THE APRON DIRECTLY TOWARDS ARIA WHO IS TOO STAGGERED TO DEFEND HERSELF; AND CRASHING AGAINST HER WITH A METEORA, THE CHALLENGER IS ROLLING!
Crowd: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Stew-O: And for now it looks like Boston has chosen a favorite! :lupe:
Jake Mercer: Where momentum goes, the fans go; and Milli Banks carries that momentum with EASE right now as Aria just ate a whole lotta thigh and knee, whilst hitting the floor hard…. :mjgrin:
Flannery McCoy: Never say that sentence and follow it with that face again.
Jake Mercer: My bad. :wow:
Stew-O: Turning back to the ring action now, we have to remember with this bout going under REGULAR match rules, there will be a 10 count from the referee; and with Champion’s advantage? Aria being on the outside is to the DETRIMENT of Milli Banks now, as she needs to make sure whatever offense she has planned is short and sweet before she loses her title shot in the worst way possible.
ONE!
Flannery McCoy: And there the count begins, but Milli Banks is looking efficient as she quickly drags Aria up to her feet, and places her against the barricade –
??? (off-mic): LETS GO MILLIIIIIII!!!! WHEW, [REDACTED] HER UP!!!!! IT’S BIG BILLS MILLS’, PERIODT!
( A screaming member of the EAW Universe, right in front of where Aria was propped up, would begin emphasizing her rather… Clear bias for the Challenger here tonight. )
Flannery McCoy: Is that… Is that Genesis? :dahell:
Jake Mercer: Looks like it, and she seems… Invested.
Gemma (off-mic): Genesis! Let her focus on the match, don’t get her distracted!
Kenny (off-mic): Nah, you right Gemma – C’MON MILLI, I DIDN’T MAKE THAT GEAR FOR YOU TO LOSE IN; ROCK HER [REDACTED] IN!!!
Milli Banks (off-mic): Chillleeeee… We run a family friendly show here guys, keep it to a minimum before you get my ass fined. :ufdup:
Genesis (off-mic): My bad, go head Mills’; curb stomp her…. Posterior.
Milli Banks (off-mic): Better!
Stew-O: OH, AND WITH THAT LITTLE ENCOUNTER BETWEEN MILLI AND HER FAMILY, SHE BEGINS STOMPING A HOLE INTO ARIA ON THE BARRICADE; MAKING HER SHRINK MORE AND MORE INTO IT, AND NOW HER FAMILY IS SENT INTO A FRENZY OF SCREAMING AND CHEERS!
Jake Mercer: Some of the audience sitting next to them look a little perturbed… But other than that you got to love the support Milli Banks is receiving, and imagine how MUCH this is impacting her mentally knowing that her familia is in attendance right there for her!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Flannery McCoy: But remember the referee’s count IS still active, and that was all wasted time; as now Aria is flattened against the barricade, Milli Banks beginning to realize she was running out of time, as she picked Aria back up and flung her into the ring, Milli following not far behind!
Stew-O: And with Banks back in the ring, it seems that she is ATTEMPTING to grab Aria’s legs up to lock her into some sort of submission; and from what I can tell, it’s almost as if Milli is attempting to put Aria in an inverted cloverleaf; but Aria’s trying to fight it, she NEEDS to fight it!
Flannery McCoy: But on Milli’s side, she NEEDS to make sure this submission forces long term trouble on Aria, because if she can’t stand? She can’t fight. Though looking now, Aria seems to be using her hands to crawl closer to the ropes; and with Milli trying to balance her weight and Aria’s own, she’s unable to hold her back for long, though she is seeming to TRY here, reeling her body back away from the ropes as Aria continues to struggle more and more – OH! BUT ARIA HAVING A NEW IDEA, KNOWING MILLI WAS NOT WELL BALANCED; ARIA THRUSTS HER LEGS FORWARD AND HURLS MILLI BANKS RIGHT INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, SENDING BANKS DOWN INTO THE CORNER!
Stew-O: Effective to get out the submission, but look at Aria who is currently seeming to favor her legs; causing a LOT of tension inside of them when she pulled Milli forward as Aria is trying to smack some feeling into her limbs, with what little time she has to capitalize; she needs to do something here and NOW, with Milli Banks stunned but ALREADY beginning to try and reach her feet, it’s do or die here for Aria, as she starts getting a vertical position just as Milli turns around –
Jake Mercer: AND A ‘ZIRCON CUTTER’ FROM ARIA OUT OF NOWHERE! LIKE A VIPER, ARIA JUST STRIKED SOME VENOM RIGHT INTO MILLI BANKS AND FOUND HERSELF AN OPEN OPPORTUNITY TO STEAL THIS MOMENTUM FULLY; WITH MILLI DOWN, THOUGH ARIA STILL FAVORING HER LEGS AS SHE STAYS ON THE GROUND!
Stew-O: Yes, Aria being unable to make a cover quickly as she is trying to get the uncomfortability she is CLEARLY feeling out of her bottom half, as Aria FINALLY is looking to crawl over to Milli for the cover… But it’s Milli who rolls out to the apron JUST before Aria can make one of her arms go over Banks’s chest!
Stew-O: And just like that, a wasted opportunity in the misfortune of the Champion; as Milli Banks continues trying to recover from her winded state on the apron, Aria just staring at her opponent trying to figure out what is the best move from here; as now the Champions begins to make moves towards the Challenger who is up to a knee on the apron, Aria pulling Milli up by her hair as Banks follows along accordingly, unable to foresee her future; as now Aria looks towards the turnbuckle, and I do not like this for Milli as we can clearly see the gears and Aria’s head working…
Jake Mercer: And you are DEFINITELY right for worrying, as now Aria looks to put her plan in fruition; as she grabs hold of a bulk of Banks’s hair, BEFORE FORCING MILLI TO FACEPLANT INTO THE TURNBUCKLE; SMASHING HER INTO IT FROM THE OUTSIDE!
Flannery McCoy: Milli Banks SOMEHOW not falling from the impact, but she is VERY clearly stunned here; as Aria is letting her brain work at a rapid pace, with Aria putting her discomfort aside; beginning to scale the turnbuckle right where Banks collided with, as Aria now is PULLING Milli Banks up the corner from the apron, Banks forced to climb up as the Champion is looking for something high octane here, and when both of these Elitist’s reach the top rope? Things can get SCARY.
Jake Mercer: Scary is an UNDERSTATEMENT. We’ve seen a plethora of moves from this height that no human should take while on the FLOOR, lets just hope whoever gets the brunt of this one has good health insurance – even though we shouldn’t need to worry at all, because EAW Supplies all superstars the top of the line health services, for all their life threatening needs!
Stew-O: Well they might need to have their doctors on speed dial now, as Milli Banks and Aria BOTH reach the top rope; Aria hunching over for a moment, slightly fatigued; though Milli Banks is looking to take advantage of the slight moment of distraction from Aria, with Milli landing one HUGE right hand on Aria; causing her to waiver on the ropes instantly!
Flannery McCoy: And just like that, Milli is trying to insert herself back into a good position here in this match up, with Banks now sending ANOTHER shot to the head of Aria, staggering her fully as Mili switches her positioning; standing on the side of the ropes sided to the corner, stabilizing herself for the moment; as she begins to push Aria forward, perching her forward on the top turnbuckle close to the ring post itself, putting her in a TERRIBLE position knowing that these two will end up landing in the ring, this is an EASY Super-Plex for Milli Banks to hit here, and with that? Aria’s hopes are looking to fade really fast…
Jake Mercer: And I think that’s that Milli is planning, as the positions have reversed; Milli now coming off the side of the ropes and back onto the top of the turnbuckle, grabbing along the sides of Aria now as Milli is looking to put Aria in a PRIME position for an overhead Super-Plex; a maneuver that’d LEVEL the champion, as now Milli makes sure she doesn’t fall herself; getting ready to risk it all here and send herself AND Aria down –
Stew-O: Woah woah woah, hold on now Jake; Aria’s fighting back! Aria sending right hands into the ribs of Milli Banks, and Banks can’t do anything about it! Milli trying to muscle Aria off the ring post, knowing gravity would do the rest – BUT ARIA IS STAYING IN THIS!
Flannery McCoy: Stew is right, and I think it’s working! WIth Milli Banks stopping her attempts at lifting Aria to re-stabilize herself; but even so, I don’t think restabilizing is an option anymore, Aria has Milli in TREACHEROUS waters and – hold on…
Jake Mercer: Is Aria… IS ARIA SIZING UP TO SUPER-PLEX MILLI BANKS… TO THE OUTSIDE?! Don’t get me wrong, the mat is NO comfortable surface; but a suplex onto the FLOOR?! That is HEINOUS, Aria’s gonna KILL Milli if Banks lands the wrong way!!!
Stew-O: BUT I DON’T THINK ARIA CARES, OH MY GOD; ARIA IS GOING FOR IT, ARIA IS LIFTING MILLI UP WHO IS TRYING TO WEIGH HERSELF DOWN; BUT EVEN WITH INJURED LEGS, ARIA PULLS THROUGH – AND OH MY GOD, ARIA JUST SUPER-PLEXED MILLI BANKS OFF THE TOP ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE!!!!!! JESUS CHRIST!!!!
( CRASH! )
Flannery McCoy: LORD HAVE MERCY, MILLI AND ARIA BOTH LANDING ON THE OUTSIDE; ARE THEY ALRIGHT, ARE THEY?!
Stew-O: BARELY, JUST BARELY; IT SEEMS LIKE THEY BOTH LANDED ON AN EAW CAMERA-MAN, LESSENING WHAT COULD’VE BEEN VERY DETRIMENTAL INJURIES TO BOTH OF THEM…
Jake Mercer: Wait you hold a darn second… That isn’t just some ‘EAW Cameraman’ thats…. Thats…. THATS FRANKLIN!
Franklin The Cameraman: :dead:
Jake Mercer: In his first match back since the Joso vs Ruler incident, he just ate a MASSIVE Super-Plex from Milli and Aria, GOD, WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO THE GOOD MEN IN THIS WORLD?!
Flannery McCoy: HE HAS KIDS DARN IT, AND LUMAGO TOO – HE SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO START WORKING IN THE TRUCK!
Stew-O: And unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like EITHER of these Elitist’s are in the condition to check on him; because despite the ‘softened’ fall, they just landed on a VERY hard studio Camera, and neither one of THEM have even gotten up yet!
Jake Mercer: And you know what that means…
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Flannery McCoy: Referee count time! And this one’s going quick, do not tell me we are getting ANOTHER case of Deja Vu and experiencing a double count-out worry like we did with Joso Vs Ruler, I like to regale in old matches but not now! :lupe:
Jake Mercer: Luckily though, I can already sense some movement; as Aria and Milli are beginning to stir on the outside, getting off the site of the crash, now both of the Elitist’s are making their way towards the ring, trying to break the count!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
Stew-O: AND LOOK AT THAT, MILLI’S ALREADY UP TO HER KNEE, READY TO SLIDE INTO THE RING SOON ENOUGH… BUT ARIA LOOKS LIKE SHE TWEAKED HER RIGHT LEG TRYING TO WILL BOTH HER WEIGHT AND MILLI’S UP, SHE’S STRUGGLING!
Jake Mercer: Well, remember; with Champions Advantage, Aria doesn’t NEED to enter the ring, it’s all on Milli to get inside their before the count, but then again? We KNOW Aria, and from what we’ve seen? She would not accept a win like this, she is going to try EVERYTHING and ANYTHING to get back and finish this match the RIGHT way!
SEVEN!
EIGHT!
Flannery McCoy: YES! Milli now officially making a burst to slide into the ring, BARELY getting inside; with Aria now struggling to her own feet, and she doesn’t have much time, as Aria is using her left leg to hop over to the apron, TRYING to get herself up in time; though it seems like she might be taking her time, realizing no matter what, she might walk out of her with her Specialist’s Championship. :lupe:
Jake Mercer: And Aria SLOWLY using the middle rope to help herself onto the apron, as she lifts herself up; the referee staring like he wants to give leniency and end the count, but a job must be done!
NINE!
Stew-O: AND WITH ARIA STILL STAGGERED ON THE APRON, TRYING TO GARNER FEELING IN HER LEG; THE MATCH MIGHT END RIGHT HERE; ARIA MIGHT RETAIN IN A WAY NOBODY WANTS TO SEE HERE TONIGHT, AS THE REFEREE GOES OUT TO MAKE HIS FINAL COUNT OF TEN –
Flannery McCoy: LOOK, MILLI SENSES HER SPECIALIST’S DREAMS ARE FADING AWAY NOW; AND SHE IS LOOKING LIKE SHE IS TRYING TO BRAINSTORM SOMETHING UP QUICK, AND IN AN ACT OF DESPERATION; MILLI FLIES FORWARD, RUNNING TOWARDS ARIA – AND MILLI BANKS SCALING OVER THE TOP ROPE, AND LEVELING ARIA OFF THE APRON WITH A MARUFUJI DROPKICK, LAUNCHING HERSELF OUT IN THE PROCESS, RESETTING THE COUNT!
Jake Mercer: And HOW smart was that?! Milli knew that exiting the ring again would force the referee to restart the count, and throwing caution to the wind Milli did JUST that as she blasts Aria off the apron directly into the apron, with Banks landing on her hands and knees on the outside; taking a slight recoil but simply NOT enough to keep herself down! As Milli now, with a head of steam gets up to her feet instantaneously, PEELING Aria off the barricade and into the ring; sliding in RIGHT after her as Milli rushes to cover Aria with an arm, looking to end the match here!
OONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHRRR-
Jake Mercer: AND ARIA KICKS OUT! And you see the look on Milli’s face, this can be a scary place for Elitist’s, in the ring not fighting their opponents anymore; but them self. This is a moment that can make or break Milli Banks, as now, she is SOLELY focused on getting Aria up to her feet, NEEDING the Champion on their feet; as Milli is looking to use her ace in the hole, as SLOWLY but eventually Aria is making her way up to a vertical position, perfectly in place for what Milli seems to be wanting her; as Banks now begins to run the ropes, making MULTIPLE laps for a measure of momentum unseen before previously, as Milli is running at a SPRINTER’s pace, Aria too stunned to get out of harms way – AND NOW MILLI BANKS IS LOOKING TO PUT THE RIBBON AND BOW ON THIS MATCH-UP HERE TONIGHT, MILLI AIMING FOR THE ROPES AS SHE PLACES HER FEET PERFECTLY ON TOP OF THE MIDDLE ONE; FLIPPING HERSELF OFF OF IT TOWARDS WHERE ARIA WAS STUCK IN A STANDING POSITION, AND I COULD ONLY ASSUME MILLI IS LOOKING FOR HER SPRINGBOARD BACKFLIP CUTTER, ‘CHECKS CLEARRREEDDDD!!!!!!!’
…
…
…
Stew-O: ‘J44AAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!’ THE RUNNING HIGH KNEE STRIKE CATCHING MILLI BANKS OUT THE AIR; PLUCKING HER RIGHT DOWN TO THE GROUND AND CAUSING HER AN EXTRA FLIP DOWN TO THE FLOOR AS SHE HITS THE MAT ON HER BACK, STARING UP TO THE RING LIGHTS WITH FAINTED EYES; ARIA STUNNING THE WORLD WITH A HUGE ‘J4A’ RIGHT ONTO THE BRIDGE OF MILLI’S NOSE, AS ARIA LEAPS ONTO MILLI’S BODY FOR THE COVER!!!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
…
…
…
THHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Jake Mercer: BAH GAWD, ARIA DID IT! ARIA DID IT!
…
…
…
Stew-O: Hold on… MILLI KICKED OUT?!?!
Jake Mercer: HUH!?! NONSENSE. POPPYCOCK. LIES. DECEIT – I’VE SEEN THINGS IN THAT RING; THINGS UNBELIEVABLE, BUT THERE IS JUST NO WAY MILLI KICKED OUT OF THAT J4A FROM ARIA!!!!
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD, SHE BARELY LIFTED HER SHOULDER UP BY WHAT – AN INCH?!
Stew-O: NOBODY IN THIS STADIUM CAN BELIEVE IT, I THINK GENESIS MIGHT’VE JUST FAINTED IN THE FRONT ROW; THIS BUILDING IF GOING TO GIVE BOSTON THE BIGGEST NOISE COMPLAINT OF ALL TIME, THIS IS LUDICROUS!!!
Stew-O: And Aria can not express her shock simply off the fact that she is simply too DRAINED, too lost of energy; and now? We’re beginning to see the desperation form around Aria, as she clutches her hair, not knowing what to do with Milli at ALL following her kickout.
Jake Mercer: And Aria doesn’t say anything, she has no Ice Aces to help her; but by the sheer FANS alone, they want this for her badly!
Flannery McCoy: Now she’s starting to feel it, she’s starting to let the worry lift; and now? She’s ready to let Milli FEEL her determination, as Aria gets to her feet; grabbing hold of BOTH Milli’s arms… BEFORE BEGINNING TO STOMP A HOLE INTO THE FACE OF MILLI!!!
Jake Mercer: Brutal, but EXTREMELY tactical! Milli not reacting to any of the kicks, as she quite simply is knocked OUT; again, HOW did she kick out?! The fact of the matter is, Aria is trying to soften and weaken the head of Milli; knowing if she can do that all it takes is ONE final ‘J4A’ and then you can put this match in the history books!
Flannery McCoy: That’s right, and now THANKFULLY for Milli Banks Aria stops stomping a hole into her; though not soon enough for Milli as blood is beginning to leak out of her nose, showcasing the damage that had been done :lupe:
Stew-O: And with Aria laying out Milli on the canvas, good lord… Aria’s going for the top rope AGAIN! Aria though thankfully going by herself, but nevertheless these women are just ATTRACTED to staying high flying; as now, Aria SOMEHOW is managing to get up to her feet atop the turnbuckle, Aria trying to stand sturdy as she looks down at Milli Banks, staring her down, KNOWING it’s all or nothing from here.
Aria (off-mic): Stay Alive.
Jake Mercer: AND ARIA JUST LEAPING OFF THE TOP ROPE, LANDING A BEAUTIFUL LEG DROP ONTO MILLI BANKS; ALLOWING HER THIGH TO REST OVER THE NECK OF MILLI BANKS AS THE REF COUNTS IT AS A COVER!!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE—-
Flannery McCoy: AND YET AGAIN, MILLI BANKS KICKING OUT; GOOD LORD, HOW IN THE WORLD IS SHE DOING THIS?!
Stew-O: TRULY insane feats from Milli – but look! Aria is clutching at her leg, she went for it all trying to weaken the upper body of Milli, but in the process she is WRECKING her own body! Was it truly a worthy trade off?
Jake Mercer: In my opinion? Not so much, she SERIOUSLY needs to be taking care of her legs, not putting herself in harms way! We know Aria’s a warrior, but every warrior has a crack in their shield; and right now? She’s putting a big red target on hers.
Flannery McCoy: Big red targets only have value if you give your opposition a time to strike them, and right now? Aria might be hurt, Aria might be stressed, but Aria is looking to seal the deal REGARDLESS. As now, Champion sizing up downed challenger, Aria is BECKONING up Milli Banks!
Stew-O: And Milli Banks can just follow accordingly, with Aria now lowering her shin guard; KNOWING she needs it all right here or nothing at all, she’s going for FATALITY, she wants the kill shot as SLOWLY Milli Banks is getting to a knee, SLOWLY Milli Banks is making it to a slightly vertical position; RIGHT where Aria wants her!
Jake Mercer: Looks like it, AND NOW ARIA RUNS THE ROPES; IN FRONT OF MILLI ALL THE WAY TO THE ONES BEHIND HER, MILLI BANKS DOESN’T LOOK LIKE SHE EXPECTS IT; AND ARIA IS LOOKING TO KNOCK BANKS’S LIGHTS OUT FOR GOOD, AS ARIA SENDS HER FINAL WARRIORS CRY OUT PUTTING IT ALL ON THE LINE FOR THE SPECIALIST’S CHAMPIONSHIP AS SHE LOOKS ONCE MORE FOR THAT RUNNING KNEE STRIKE, THIS TIME DIRECTLY TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD; ARIA LOOKING FOR ‘J4A!!!!!!’
…
…
…
???: GAAAHHH!!!
…
…
…
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD, MILLI DUCKED IT! MILLI PRE-EMPTIVELY DUCKED IT, BUT BEFORE ARIA COULD FULLY RUN PAST HER; MILLI GRABS THE INJURED RIGHT LEG OF ARIA, AND SPIKES HER KNEE DIRECTLY IN THE GROUND; AMIDST ARIA’S AWKWARD TURN TRYING TO RE-STABILIZE FOLLOWING THE MISSED ‘J4A’, ARIA’S HURT!!!!
Jake Mercer: AND NOW IT’S MILLI GETTING UP TO HER FEET, RUNNING OFF PURE ADRENALINE AS ARIA CAN BARELY GET UP, HOBBLING ON ONE LEG; MILLI DRAGS ARIA UP TO HER FEET DESPITE BARELY BEING ABLE TO STAND, MILLI NOW STANDING IN FRONT OF ARIA; HOOKING HER NECK —
Stew-O: ‘BANKKKKRRUPPPTTTT!!!!’ THE SALIDA DEL SOL CONNECTING PERFECTLY ON THE CHAMPION, THE CHAMPIONS DOWN; MILLI HAS THE LEG HOOKED, MAKING SURE SHE HAS THE FULL PIN ATTEMPT IN, AS THE REFEREE IS GOING FOR THE COVER!!!!
OOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
…
…
…
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
( ‘Princess Diana’ by Ice Spice Feat. Nicki Minaj began blasting through the speakers, as Milli Banks quickly unhooked Aria’s leg and fell right onto the mat, tearing up as she could barely feel ANY part of her body; lying next to Aria as the crowd cheered hysterically, A NEW CHAMPION BEING CROWNED! )
Stephie Love: AND HERE IS YOUR WINNER….. ANDD NEWWWWWWWW, SPECIALISTS CHAMPION….. MIILLIIIIIIIIIIIIIII BANKKSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Stew-O: WHAT. JUST. HAPPENED?!
Jake Mercer: I’LL TELL YOU WHAT, MILLI DID IT! MILLI BANKS IS SPECIALIST’S CHAMPION!!!!
Flannery McCoy: I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT HOW THE ENDING SEQUENCE PLAYED OUT, WITH ARIA’S LEG GIVING OUT THANKS TO MILLI, AND BANKS WITH QUICK REACTION TIMING TO LEAVE ARIA BANKRUPT, AND IN DOING SO, WE HAVE A NEW SPECIALIST’S CHAMPION!
Stew-O: Don’t let the moment spoil anybody, one thing we are NOT going to do is say that Aria did not FIGHT tonight! What a valiant Championship reign she had; and what an AMAZING defense she had going for herself tonight, but in Boston? Grand Rampage? Tonight unfortunately was just not her night!
Jake Mercer: Anyone who is worried about Aria right now better just be worried about her physical well being, because anyone fearing a ‘fall-off?’ quite simply does NOT know who Aria is. She works magic, everything she DOES is magic; and from here? It’s only up, bravo to the now former champion; but now? Let us celebrate the NEW, SPECIALISTS CHAMPION!!!!
( Slowly,as Aria rolls out of the ring, the referee pulls Milli Banks up to her feet as she stumbles backwards, covering her face as she tries to wipe the tears she had growing, but she could NOT wipe the clear smirk on her face; as FINALLY she can call herself tonight, SPECIALIST’S CHAMPION! )
Stew-O: She thought she’d hold it at Justified Reckoning, She’d thought she’d hold it at Road to Redemption? But tonight, she FINALLY gets to fulfill that dream of hers, and she FINALLY gets to say that she is, CHAMPION!
Jake Mercer: Certainly a feel good moment for Milli Banks, entirely deserved, and an ENTIRELY amazing run certainly ahead of her with that Specialist’s Championship; I mean, this night could NOT get any better for her –
( Just then, a couple of people roll into the ring behind Milli Banks, completely unaware to the new champion… )
Genesis (off-mic): THEY AIN’T GOT GOOD ENOUGH SECURITY TO HOLD ME BACK, MILLS’ – YOU DID IT! YOU’RE SPECIALIST’S FREAKIN’ CHAMPION – AND I KEPT MY CENSORSHIP, SO YOU BETTER THANK ME [REDACTED]
Gemma (off-mic): That didn’t last long…
Kenny (off-mic): DOES IT MATTER?! OUR GIRL JUST WON, WE CAN TAKE THE FINES NOW; WE MAKING CHAMPION MONEY NOW, [REDACTED]!
Annayah (off-mic): What we’re trying to SAY here, before we get dragged out by security… We’re proud of you Milli!
( The five unite in the center of the ring, an even bigger grin growing on Milli’s face as she laughs to herself. )
Milli Banks (off-mic): If anyone even thinks about touching one of y’all? We jumping them, periodt.
( WIth that, the group laughed as Kenny and Genesis picked Milli off the ground instantly, perching her on their shoulders as Gemma looked on from the side; rolling her eyes, though smiling; extremely happy for her nonetheless, with Annayah going on to join the duo in holding up Milli Banks, as blue and white confetti BLASTED out from confetti cannons on the side of the rings, commemorating this moment in history on a HUGE high note; as slowly, the camera faded away from the scene in the ring.)
( ‘Anti Hero’ (Rock Version) by Taylor Swift begins to blast in the PA System, in the FedEx Forum here in Nashville Tennessee as Jamie Cross makes her entrance here on Dynasty! She comes out to a positive reaction as the fans here in Nashville love Jamie! She smiles big and looks in the arena as she then marches forward to the ring. )
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME… SHE IS THE IRONWOMAN… JAMIE CROSSS!!!!
Stew-O: What a great reception for Jamie here tonight, the fans here in Nashville absolutely adore her. She’s got a big match coming up next week as she’ll face off against Usagi Senshi, and Lexi in a triple threat match with the winner becoming the next challenger for the Specialist Championship. Jake, Flan, what do we think of Jamie’s chances at Pain for Pride?
Jake Mercer: As much as I want to root for her, as she is the Dynasty’s representative for this match… It’s difficult. She’s great, don’t get me wrong but she’s the least experienced out of both Usagi and Lexi in this match.
Flannery McCoy: Well it is true that Jamie is the least experienced out of the three in their match, I wouldn’t count her whatsoever. She’s a fighter, and I know she won’t give up that easily at Pain for Pride. While you may look at things like experience, I know Jamie has got the heart and grit to come out of this match as the winner. I believe in my girl Jamie!
( Jamie would head over to the ring, along the way she would be high fiving all the fans at ringside, as she has a big positive smile on her face. She climbs the stair steps, and enters the ring. She gets handed a microphone by someone outside the ring. Jamie holds the microphone as her music begins to fade out. She looks across the arena as fans cheer for Jamie. The cheers would simmer down as she begins to speak. )
Jamie Cross: Thank you guys for that reception that means a lot. I’ve been here in EAW since February and I would never have imagined that four months down the line that I would be competing in what might be my biggest opportunity yet in my young career. I faced off against Caroline for the New Breed Championship back at Super Dynasty and it may not have gone my way, but I’m still proud of the performance I put up against a competitor like her. This match at Pain for Pride is even bigger because whoever wins this, gets to be Milli’s next challenger for the EAW Specialist Championship. I’m truly honored to have this opportunity and I’m truly blessed.
( Jamie takes a moment to catch her breath as the fans here in Nashville begin chanting “Jamie” as Jamie smiles and nods at those chants as she continues to speak but switches her tone to be more firm with her delivery. )
Jamie Cross: I’m dead set on winning this match though, no matter if i’m the least experienced heading into this match. It doesn’t matter who stands in my way because a chance to fight for the Specialist Championship is an opportunity that I can’t fumble. It doesn’t matter if the competition of Usagi Senshi and Lexi is going to be debating on why they’ll be the ones coming out on top. It doesn’t matter to me because I know deep in my heart, deep within myself that I’m the better woman out of all three of them. I work as hard as the next person, and I know I have only been for only four months but I’m not going to be considered the weakest out of the three. I’m going to show everyone here on Dynasty, Showdown, and Voltage that I’m the better woman.
(Jamie stops for a moment as the fans cheer for Jamie, as Jamie has a more serious facial expression. She continuous on with her promo )
Jamie Cross: I’m making a promise right now that I’ll be facing Milli Banks for her Specialist Championship next season. Usgai nor Lexi nor anyone else can do anything about that. Others can call me the underdog of this match, not the favorite per say but despite all that, I’m going to be the woman that comes out on top. If I need to show up on Voltage or Showdown this week to prove that, I’ll happily do just that. Let it be known now that the respect, shaking hands, or playing nice version of Jamie Cross isn’t going to be present for this match. We’re all competitors, and while I do wish good luck to my opponents, I’m going to give it my absolute all next weekend. I hope both Usagi and Lexi are ready to fight for this chance, because I’m holding nothing back.
( Jamie drops her microphone as ‘Anti Hero’ (Rock Version) by Taylor Swift begins to play once again. The crowd cheers for Jamie as she raises her arm up with a smirk on her face. She leaves through the ropes and makes her way to the stage. )
Stew-O: You can see the confidence coming from Jamie here tonight! She looks to be 100% ready for her triple threat match at Pain for Pride. She’s taking no for an answer and promises us that she’ll face Milli Banks next season and become the next challenger for her title.
Flannery McCoy: That’s what I’m talking about! What a statement delivered by the Ironwomen here tonight. I hope she represents Dynasty well against Showdown representative Lexi, and Voltage Representative Usagi Senshi. We believe in you Jamie!!
Jake Mercer: She did sound confident but I’m not a believer just yet. She’s got a big task in front of her, but I hope she proves me wrong and wins it for Dynasty.
( The closing moments of this segment sees Jamie on the stage and stares at the crowded people of Nashville and soaks in the moment at hand. She shouts “Thank You” from the stage as she leaves the area and heads to the back as we fade out of this segment. )
( As the camera panned back to the Dynasty arena, the backstage correspondent of the Red brand, Micheal Belfort . . . Managed to make his way to center stage! Standing in the center of the ring to a rowdy Memphis crowd, cheering him on as he gave them a nod, before staring into the hard cam with microphone in hand. )
Micheal Belfort: Greetings, Memphis Tennessee! It’s glad to see such amazing fans cheering us on here on the Go-Home Dynasty show before Pain For Pride! A lot can change from here on out, and some of Dynasty’s talent may be shipped or kept; I might be wearing a different blazer next time you see me out – but what matters it the NOW of things, and the NOW? Is the future. That future for SIX Elitist’s in this business who will have the opportunity to square off in the 24/7 Battle Royale. To earn an opportunity to blossom their young, or restarting careers; to blast them off to the moon en route to our next season here, in EAW. And for those of you unaware of how the field currently stands right now; allow me to direct your attention to the titan-tron, and introduce you to this years set of competitors; in the 24/7, Battle Royale!
( Micheal adjusted himself to look over to the titan-tron, pointing at it to guide the eyes of the audience members in attendance, as the camera shifted the graphic over to what was being displayed; as, Valerie Hellstorm, Bea Valentine, NOVA, MITSUBACHI, Axel Graves, and Delilah Rose were all represented front and center; as the crowd applauded, with most of them being newer Elitist; and some returning from EAW’s pasts, the group of participants hasn’t looked much better in recent memory! )
Micheal Belfort: They all have had their roads to get to this point, for some; they’ve just dipped their toes in the water, and the Battle Royale will be their first true taste of EAW competition… Like Nova. A man ready to make his name not only known, but revered. Someone with a vision, looking to push him name to the fore-front of the pack, and give himself an opportunity of a like time.
( The crowd cheered as Nova’s Graphic took the middle of the group for a moment, highlighted as the fans cheered on for a moment, before the graphic changed. )
Micheal Belfort: For others . . . This is somewhat of a homecoming for them. Having been part of this business for an extremely long time, surviving with EAW for a plethora of years; and to have left on their own terms, finally coming back when the Season draws it’s close – it’s the moments you make matter that make the amount of time you’ve had mean absolutely nothing. Talented in the ring, dominant on the microphone; a round of applause once more, for MITSUBACHI!
( The graphic showed MITSUBACHI in the same state Nova’s render was, front and center for the crowd to adore as the cheers amplified from the crowd; roaring on for The Akumeidakai! Though slowly, the graphic changed yet again. )
Micheal Belfort: Though for the vast majority of this match, Some have entered all together. Joining this glorious land of opportunity at the same time to pick at the fruits of it’s spirit; having more time than some of the others to make their names a little broader to an EAW Audience; but also getting extremely well known with one another, for better – or for worse. Their own reasonings dictating their path, trying to BEA the best . . . Or just trying to become a Bee entirely; these Elitist’s don’t care what the vast majority thinks about them , taking risks , being daring , all for the sake of this moment and opportunity that lies ahead; Arrogance could be something that could blind-side yourself; and play as a dagger into your own back, but it can also be the confidence you need to steal the show, exactly what Delilah Rose is set on doing. And what’s ever went wrong with following a dominant force; fine-tuning your craft, perfecting your game alongside the game of other’s you find to be just like you . . . Except for Valerie Hellstorm, just being ‘aside’ the same caliber as the Queen Bees isn’t her end goal, she’s shooting for the top with a Silver Bullet to pierce through her competitors, with hopes not to miss. But being a Bee isn’t the end all be all for everyone, in fact; some people just want to be . . . Bea. Someone not to follow a crowd, but to make their own stake for themselves. To form their own path, doing and acting how they are because nobody can tell them otherwise. It doesn’t matter what it’d take, the hoops the bounds, the obstacles along the journey – Bea Valentine is prepared and ready to break the mold of what a model Elitist is supposed to be, and form the future around HER name, no matter who she has to run through to get there.
Micheal Belfort: Memphis, I know you have it in you . . . Let’s get a big reception for Valerie Hellstorm, Delilah Rose, and Bea Valentine!
( All three female Elitist’s graphics were shifted to center stage, as the crowd would mix with boo’s and cheers; the reputations of these three not exactly being the greatest . . . But some Tennesee Hopefuls gave them their props, thankfully . )
Micheal Belfort: Just hang with me one more time, because to round out this field; we have the Veteran of the group. Someone who just BARELY has been here since last year, and since then? He’s been doing work garnering both wins and losses – and here in TENNESEE? He comes with more knowledge of the current landscape of Elite Answers Wrestling than anyone else. He has sharpened his knife, fixated his craft; in a match you could consider for him to be . . . All or nothing. Just like any other competitor in this match, he’s been burning with red hot fuel; determined after finding a lack of opportunities for himself, and now? It’s do or die. Strrong-minded, Strong-armed, Strong-willed . . . Ladies and Gentleman, AXEL GRAVES!
( The final solo graphic would display, with Axel Graves dead in the middle; as the fans cheered towards his picture, a mixture between reactions though fairly positive nonetheless! As finally, the graphic returned to normal. )
Micheal Belfort: We’ve seen their journeys; these competitors getting the upper hand on each other a numerous amount of times, and now? Now we see who can be the last one standing. All or nothing – give them a good send off en route to Nashville, everyone!
( The crowd exploded, cheering on the competitors as the camera continued to zoom on the graphic, Micheal Belfort lowering his mic as the cheers would play background to the scene, as the camera slowly faded to black. )
[SCREENBAR: Andre Walker vs Ruler vs Joso – Interwire Championship – Poor Unfortunate Souls 2022]
(The camera fades into the arena, with the shot focusing on Stephie Love standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand, ready to announce the final match of the night right here.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a TRIPLE THREAT MATCH!!! And it is for… the EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘2nd Sucks’ by A Day To Remember is heard playing up, with the crowd responding in the form of loud boos while the camera goes over to the stage to reveal Ruler beginning to make his way out. He keeps his gaze focused intently on the ring, determined and unfazed by the crowd’s reaction toward him. He then begins to make his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, the challengers… from The Reserved… weighing in at 220 pounds… ‘THE MONARCH OF AGONY’… RULER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: This Season the Friday Night Dynasty brand has gotten the opportunity to house some amazing Elitists under their roof. With that, only a small few are able to take that top spot, and Ruler has been one of the few people that have come to prominence and seized the opportunity for himself.
Flannery McCoy: A few weeks back he lost the opportunity to stop history from unfolding and become the Interwire Champion, but now he steps into Poor Unfortunate Souls tonight with another opportunity to do so and win his first Championship in EAW. Can he do so? Well, with how motivated he’s been as of late and the fire that he’s had leading into this match, if there’s one thing I can say for certain, it is definitely not out of the picture.
Jake Mercer: With the voices in his head leading the way, or voice, I don’t know maybe he has a few… Ruler has the chance to make good on his word here tonight. Let’s see if he’ll be able to do that.
(‘No Messiah’ by Bad Wolves is then heard blasting through the speakers with a mixture of cheers and boos as Joso is seen energetically beginning to make his way out from the backstage area. He takes a circle around the stage while hyping up the crowd tonight before turning toward the ring. He makes a Championship gesture around his waist before then beginning to make his way to the ring.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… from Bronx, New York… weighing in at 206 pounds… ‘THE NEW ERA’… JOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Now THIS is someone I can get behind. HE DON’T MISS! JOSOI THE NEW ERA! THE GOAT! THIS IS A MAN I CAN SEE BEATING THE CHAMPION TONIGHT!
Stew-O: Despite Jake’s obvious bias, I don’t think I can deny that either. Ever since winning the New Era Classic, and even before that, Joso has been firing on all cylinders in hopes of making a name for himself and stepping up to the plate. It’s led him to this moment in time where he has the opportunity to fight for the Interwire Championship, so certainly it’s done him some good.
Flannery McCoy: This could very well be the biggest opportunity of his young career, and if he can capitalize on that and win big here tonight he could very well be on the fast track to checking all the boxes as promised. There is no denying that Joso has talked the talk and walked the walk, but especially on a stage like this, can he bring it?
(‘Leaving Caladan’ by Hans Zimmer then begins to play up with the camera showing Andre Walker and Albert Hitchman beginning to make their way out. Albert has the World Heavyweight Championship and Interwire Championship in hand, handing both to Andre which he raises up in the air with pyro shooting out behind him. He then brings them down onto his shoulders while Albert then takes his leave, with Andre beginning to make his way down the ramp from there.)
Stephie Love: Lastly… from The Isle of Samoa… weighing in at 245 pounds… he is the EAW UNDISPUTED WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT INTERWIRE CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!!! ‘THE KAISER’… ANDRE WALKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: I couldn’t be able to name anyone who’s been more dominant than Andre Walker these past few months. Who can say that they hold the two singles Championships that are designated to this brand and who can say that they’ve done so as dominantly as Andre has? He’s been undefeated the entirety of 2022 and has closed Pain For Pride breaking barriers and making history on more than one occasion. He’s living a life that’s simply a fever dream for the others that look up to him.
Flannery McCoy: But tonight has to be one of the tensest Championship defenses that he has yet, especially considering the reign that he’s on. Just a few weeks ago he broke the record for the longest reigning Interwire Champion of all time, and while he vacated the New Breed Championship when he did the same, that might not be an option this time around. He walks in a man on a mission, but does he walk out the same? That’s something that we’ll just have to find out.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Ladies and gentlemen it is officially underway. Tonight is make or break for Andre Walker’s historic Interwire Championship reign as he goes up against Joso and Ruler in a triple threat match, and the anticipation is definitely through the roof for this one. Andre is beginning to make his way out of the corner- BUT RULER IMMEDIATELY RUSHES ANDRE AND CONNECTS WITH A HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE SENDING HIM BACK INTO THE CORNER! Andre takes the hit and falls back into the corner, while Joso continues his attack by stepping forward and throwing a flurry of lefts and rights towards his head! Andre is pushed back as he slouches down to a seated position, Joso turning around… ONLY FOR RULER TO STEP FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A BICYCLE KICK TO THE JAW! Joso is left reeling while Ruler grabs him by the head and throws him down toward the center of the ring, turning around and setting his sights on Andre in the corner-
Flannery McCoy: But Andre manages to bring his leg up and boot Ruler in the face! Ruler is sent backward and this gives Andre enough time to grab the ropes and get back up to his feet. Ruler begins to approach, but before he can do anything it’s Andre that quickly sends a palm uppercut to his jaw! Ruler stumbles back but quickly runs toward Andre once again, only for him to sidestep and throw Ruler into the corner instead! Ruler is backed up while Andre makes his way toward him, but before he can do anything it’s Ruler that connects with a back elbow strike to the face that bites him some time! Ruler then climbs up to the middle rope, POSITIONING HIMSELF BEFORE GOING FOR A MISSILE DROPKICK TO THE CHEST OF ANDRE WALKER TO TAKE HIM DOWN-
Jake Mercer: BUT ANDRE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! Ruler is dropped down and lands flat on his back, leaving him to get back up to his feet while Andre begins to recover at the same time. BUT BEFORE ANDRE CAN DO ANYTHING IT’S JOSO THAT RUNS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A CLOTHESLINE THAT SENDS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND DOWN TO RINGSIDE! Joso disposes of the Undisputed World Heavyweight Interwire Champion for the time being and turns around to set his sights on his other opponents in this match, but Ruler is already up connecting with a kick to his chest! Joso tries to hold his ground, but before he can do anything else it’s Ruler that connects with a spinning gut kick to follow up! Joso doubles over while Ruler runs to the ropes, GOING FOR A KNEE TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD TO DROP HIM- BUT JOSO MANAGES TO CATCH HIM AND LAUNCH HIM INTO A EXPLODER SUPLEX!
Stew-O: Ruler is left tumbling down to the mat while Joso gets back up to a kneeling position, pushing himself back up to his feet before snatching the head of Ruler and beginning to tug him back up to his feet. Ruler is trying his best to get himself out of the situation that he’s in, BUT JOSO GRABS HIM AND LIFTS HIM OFF OF THE GROUND LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A SUPLEX- But it’s Ruler that manages to slip off of his shoulders and land behind him! Joso tries to turn him around, BUT BEFORE HE CAN IT’S RULER THAT GRABS HIM AROUND HIS WAIST AND LIFTS HIM FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX! Ruler is back in this match as he immediately gets back up to his feet and runs the ropes… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A KNEE DROP TO HIS HEAD TO FOLLOW UP IN HOPES OF KEEPING JOSO DOWN ON THE MAT!
Flannery McCoy: Joso shoots up to a seated position, while Ruler turns around on his heels, stepping forward and looking to crack a kick against his back- But before that can happen its Joso that manages to roll back and connect with a kick to the face! Ruler stumbles back while Joso gets back up, BUT AT RINGSIDE IT’S ANDRE THAT GRABS RULER BY THE LEGS AND YANKS HIM OUT OF THE RING AND DOWN TO RINGSIDE! Ruler takes a hard landing while Andre grabs him and brings him back up to his feet, THROWING HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE AND SENDING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! Andre then turns his attention to Joso in the ring, BUT THAT’S BEFORE JOSO RUNS FORWARD AND LEAPS OVER THE TOP ROPE COMPLETELY LAYING OUT ‘THE KAISER’ WITH A BEAUTIFUL TOPE CON HILO!
Jake Mercer: Andre is taken down while Joso immediately brings him back up to his feet and rolls him into the ring. Joso doesn’t follow, instead jumping up onto the apron and beginning to scale up to the top turnbuckle. Joso measures his trajectory while Andre slowly begins to rise back up to a vertical base… WITH JOSO LEAPING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND LAYING ANDRE OUT WITH A DIVING CROSSBODY- WAIT! ANDRE GRABS HIM IN MID-AIR! Joso is in the clutches as he tries to wave himself out of this situation, but Andre isn’t letting that happen as he pops Joso up into a Fireman’s Carry position with all of his might… BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A SAMOAN DROP! Joso is taken down while Andre pulls himself toward him and hooks the leg going for an early pin attempt!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Stew-O: BUT JOSO QUICKLY KICKS OUT! With the stakes as high as they are, you know that it’s going to take everything Andre has to take out both Joso and Ruler to retain. Andre pushes away from Joso and begins to get up to his feet once again, trying to calculate what could possibly be the next move to keep the upper hand in this triple threat match. But he doesn’t have much time to think it over either with Joso beginning to rise back up to his feet and at ringside Ruler is using this time to recuperate and wait for the right moment to strike. Andre knows that he’s going to have to handle this with the utmost efficiency, grabbing Joso by the arm and instantly sending him toward the corner. Andre from there runs forward… BEFORE LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE TO HIS HEAD WHILE HE’S BACKED UP-
Flannery McCoy: But just in time it’s Joso that manages to evade the attack! Andre collides with the corner and is left stumbling back before Joso shoves him into the corner instead! This buys him some time, BUT HE DOESN’T NEED MUCH AS HE STEPS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A SHOULDER THRUST TO HIS SPINE! Joso then grabs him by the head and throws him down toward the center of the ring, turning around and positioning himself while Andre has rolled to a kneeling position… WITH JOSO RUNNING FORWARD AND LEAPING INTO THE AIR CONNECTING WITH DOUBLE KNEES TO THE HEAD DROPPING THE UNDISPUTED WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT INTERWIRE CHAMPION! Andre is taken down while Joso is the only one standing inside the ring right now-
Jake Mercer: SPOKE TOO SOON! RULER LAUNCHES OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND NEARLY TAKES JOSO’S HEAD OFF WITH A DIVING METEORA TO THE CANVAS! JOSO IS TAKEN DOWN WHILE RULER IMMEDIATELY PINS HIS SHOULDERS TO THE MAT! FOR THE CHANCE TO BECOME THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION RIGHT HERE!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRR-
Stew-O: BUT JOSO MANAGES TO KICK OUT! Although this match continues, Ruler has injected himself back into this and in a big way. He knew that if he bided his time and waited for the right moment, that he would be able to swoop in and take advantage, which is exactly what he did. But now he needs to make sure he maintains that as he grabs Joso and throws him out of the ring, with the two of them switching places now before he centers in on Andre who is beginning to gain his beatings on the ground while Ruler approaches. Ruler grabs him by the head, but before he can initiate it’s Andre that begins to send repeated shots toward his abdomen! Ruler is forced to retreat backward and that gives Andre enough time to get back up to his feet, BEFORE HE STEPS FORWARD AND ATTEMPTS TO CONNECT WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE OF RULER-
Flannery McCoy: But Ruler manages to duck under it by the skin of his teeth! Andre nearly tips over while Ruler runs to the ropes… LEAPING OFF OF THEM WITH AMAZING AGILITY AND TAKING DOWN ANDRE WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! Ruler clutches his gut while getting back up to his feet, eyeing Andre who manages to position himself into an all-fours position in hopes of getting back up to his feet. Ruler then turns around and runs to the ropes… BUT BEFORE HE’S ABLE TO ATTEMPT ANYTHING IT’S JOSO THAT SLIDES INTO THE RING AND CONNECTS WITH A LARIAT THAT NEARLY TAKES RULER’S HEAD CLEAN OFF HIS SHOULDERS!
Jake Mercer: Ruler definitely didn’t expect that as Joso wasted no time getting himself back into this match. He turns around and focuses on Andre, grabbing him by his head and pulling him in, I think he’s looking to lift him up into a powerbomb position- BUT ANDRE IS STRONGER AS HE LIFTS JOSO OFF THE GROUND AND DROPS HIM WITH A BACK BODY DROP! Joso takes a hard landing and that’s definitely not how he wanted to get back into this one, he tries to fight back while Andre grabs him from behind and heaves him back up to his feet… LIFTING HIM UP INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX- But Joso connects with a back elbow to the head! Andre is left stumbling back while the two of them center their attention on one another, RUNNING TOWARD ONE ANOTHER WITH ANDRE CONNECTING WITH A CLOTHESLINE- BUT JOSO CONNECTS WITH ONE AS WELL! DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE TAKES THE TWO OF THEM DOWN AS ALL THREE OF THEM ARE NOW DOWN ON THE MAT!
Stew-O: All of them are down and the crowd is on their feet in anticipation, but it looks like this downtime isn’t going to last much longer with Ruler managing to grab onto the bottom rope and help himself back up to his feet. He sees his two opponents down on the mat and I can’t help but imagine what’s whirling through his brain right now with this opportunity. He immediately goes for the bigger prey, grabbing Andre by the head and dragging him up to his feet, but before he can do anything it’s Andre that connects with an uppercut to the jaw! Ruler stumbles back but holds his ground and makes his way toward Andre, only for Andre to this time connect with a kick to the abdomen! Andre then turns around and runs to the ropes…
Flannery McCoy: Only for Ruler to step forward and connect with a knee to the gut! This leaves Andre stunned in place before Ruler connects with a front kick to the side! Before spinning around and connecting with a Spinning Back Fist! Ruler then kicks the back of the knee which drops Andre down to a kneeling position! Ruler then sets him up, BEFORE FINISHING OFF WITH A KNEE STRAIGHT TO THE FACE TO DROP ANDRE DOWN TO THE GROUND! ‘DARK FURY’ COMBO CONNECTS AND IT LEAVES ANDRE NOT IN THE BEST POSITION IN THE HANDS OF ‘THE MONARCH OF AGONY’!
Jake Mercer: But Ruler has immediately noticed Joso beginning to get back up to his feet as he begins to approach him, ONLY FOR JOSO TO TACKLE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT AND BEGIN TO UNLOAD ON HIM WITH RAPID-FIRE PUNCHES! This takes Ruler by surprise but before he can go any further he manages to push Joso away! Both of them get back up to their feet and the two of them are hammering away at one another, with Joso continuing his attack with forearm shots toward the head but at the same time Ruler is not hesitant to respond back with some of his own! Joso! Ruler! Joso! Ruler! Joso! Ruler! Joso! Ruler-
Stew-O: ANDRE! ANDRE CLOCKS RULER AGAINST THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND GRABBING JOSO BEFORE SPINNING AROUND AND PLANTING HIM WITH A URANAGE! Joso is dropped down to the canvas while Ruler falls back against the ropes, ANDRE GETTING BACK UP BEFORE RUNNING TOWARD HIM AND LOOKING TO CLOTHESLINE HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE- BUT RULER MANAGES TO PULL THE TOP ROPE DOWN AND SEND ANDRE OVER THE TOP AND TO THE FLOOR!
Flannery McCoy: Andre stumbles backward upon landing and presses himself up against the barricade to stabilize himself, but after a moment he manages to push off of it but right now I don’t think he notices what Ruler has in mind inside of the ring. Ruler runs to the ropes and back realizing this might be the only chance that he can get to take out Andre right here… LOOKING TO LEAP BETWEEN THE ROPES AND GO FOR A SUICIDE DIVE!
Jake Mercer: BUT ANDRE STEPS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A FIST TO HIS HEAD MID-MOVE WHICH HALTS RULER AND SENDS HIM BACK INTO THE RING! Andre then gets onto the apron and enters in before then beginning to make his way over to Ruler and bring him back up, PULLING HIM IN AND CONNECTING WITH A SHORT-ARM CLOTHESLINE! Ruler is taken down while Andre heaves him back up once more, GOING FOR ANOTHER SHORT-ARM CLOTHESLINE TO DROP HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS-
Stew-O: BUT RULER MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT! Ruler turns around while Andre does the same, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HIGH KNEE WHICH DROPS ANDRE DOWN TO A KNEELING POSITION! Ruler then grabs Andre by the head as it looks like he’s possibly setting him up for something right here… HE’S GOING FOR ‘WILL OF NICHOLAS’! EVENFLOW DDT ONTO ANDRE!
Flannery McCoy: BUT ANDRE COUNTERS IT INTO A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! HE BRIDGES FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT JOSO BREAKS UP THE PIN BEFORE IT CAN REACH THE COUNT OF THREE! Ruler is down while Andre gets back up to his feet, ONLY FOR JOSO TO TAKE HIM BACK DOWN WITH A BEAUTIFUL RUNNING STO! Joso then turns and it looks like he has his sights in the high rent district. He begins to make his way toward the corner, and now begins to scale up to the top turnbuckle and position himself. Right now Joso has the opportunity to completely turn the offense into his favor and that can only work if whatever he has in mind connects and takes down Andre. Joso balances himself on the top turnbuckle, perched and ready to go…
Stew-O: BUT ANDRE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH ‘KAISER’S TOUCH’ TO JOSO BEFORE HE CAN LIFT OFF! JOSO IS PRACTICALLY LIMP ON THE TOP ROPE BEFORE ANDRE SHOVES HIM OFF THE TOP AND SENDS HIM TUMBLING DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE! Andre then turns his attention to Ruler who certainly has gotten his bearings back right about now…
Flannery McCoy: RULER WITH ‘REVOLUTIONIZER’! SPINNING BACK HEEL KICK TO THE SIDE OF ANDRE WALKER’S HEAD!
Jake Mercer: NOPE! ANDRE MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER IT! Ruler stumbles forward but turns around, ONLY TO BE MET BY ANOTHER ‘KAISER’S TOUCH’ TO THE HEAD! SUPERMAN PUNCH ONE MORE TIME BUT IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE ANDRE IS DONE EITHER AS HE GRABS RULER BY THE ARM AND SENDS HIM TOWARD THE ROPES WITH AN IRISH WHIP…
Stew-O: ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE’! LLSIDE!
Flannery McCoy: THE SPEAR CONNECTS ABSOLUTELY TEARING RULER IN HALF AND DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! THIS IS HIS CHANCE! ANDRE WALKER COULD VERY WELL BE ON HIS WAY TO CONTINUING HIS RECORD-BREAKING INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN AS HE CRAWLS FOR HIS LIFE OVER TO RULER! HE THROWS HIS ARM OVER HIM! PIN ATTEMPT-
Jake Mercer: WAIT! WAIT! RULER WITH THE LAST BIT OF ENERGY HE HAS MANAGES TO CLUTCH ONTO THE BOTTOM ROPE AND PULL HIMSELF OUT OF THE RING BEFORE ANDRE CAN GO FOR THE PIN! LOOK AT THE SHOCK ON THE FACE OF ANDRE RIGHT NOW! HE THOUGHT HE HAD THIS MATCH IN THE BAG BUT THE DETERMINATION FROM RULER OVERPOWERED THAT AND ALLOWED HIM TO ESCAPE SUDDEN DOOM BEFORE THIS MATCH WAS SET IN STONE!
(Andre is clutching at the bottom rope, just staring down at Ruler at ringside. He can’t believe what’s happening right now, because he knows that would’ve been exactly what he needed to finish this match off for good. Everything is crumbling before his very eyes, but right now, the only thing he can really do in this position is keep pushing onward.)
Stew-O: Andre is beginning to get back up, and you can see that his eyes haven’t left Ruler who is still down at ringside. Andre slowly drops down and rolls out of the ring, beginning to make his way over and grab the head of Ruler before slowly bringing him back up to his feet. Lord knows what he might have planned for him but if there is one thing for certain, it’s the fact that it’s not going to be good at all. He begins to set Ruler up who can barely even stand…
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! LOOK! JOSO! HE’S UP ON THE TOP ROPE AND ANDRE TAKES NOTICE! JOSO POSITIONS HIMSELF BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR WITH A MOONSAULT AND TAKING BOTH ANDRE AND RULER DOWN TO THE MAT! WHAT A MOVE BY JOSO!
Jake Mercer: Joso is back up to his feet and has grabbed a hold of both Andre and Ruler before rolling them both back into the ring. He knows that if he continues to pick the two of them apart, it’ll certainly do the job and get him closer and closer to becoming the new Interwire Champion tonight in the main event. Joso brings Ruler up first, immediately trying to kick him in the abdomen- but Ruler manages to grab it- ONLY FOR JOSO TO CONNECT WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! He from there runs to the ropes and back, BEFORE USING THE MOMENTUM TO ATTEMPT A STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS- BUT RULER MANAGES TO AVOID THAT ONE AS WELL SENDING JOSO CRASHING AND BURNING ONTO THE CANVAS!
Stew-O: Joso clutches at his stomach while getting back up to his feet, BUT IS ONLY MET WITH RULER LEAPING UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND LAUNCHING HIM INTO A HURRICANRANA ONTO THE MAT! Joso rolls back up and falls against the ropes, ONLY FOR RULER TO SPRINT FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A BRUTAL BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE WHICH TAKES JOSO DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Ruler then grabs Joso by the arm and pulls him toward the center of the ring, but before he can do anything it’s Joso that nails Ruler with a quick elbow strike to leave him stunned! RULER FROM THERE LIFTS JOSO UP OFF THE GROUND, I THINK WE KNOW WHAT HE’S GOING FOR RIGHT NOW…
Flannery McCoy: ‘MADE IN HEAVEN’ SPIKE PILEDRIVER TO JOSO!
Jake Mercer: BUT JOSO MANAGES TO FLIP HIMSELF AROUND BEFORE SPIKING RULER ONTO HIS HEAD HIMSELF! Joso then grabs Ruler and tugs him back up to his feet before pulling him in, striking while the iron is hot… HE’S GOING FOR ‘INCOMING SILENCE’! THE SPINNING SIT-OUT POWERBOMB TO RULER-
Stew-O: BUT RULER MANAGES TO FLIP OUT OF IT AND LAND ON HIS FEET IN FRONT OF JOSO! Joso attempts a swing toward the face-
Flannery McCoy: BUT RULER FINALLY CONNECTS WITH ‘REVOLUTIONIZER’ TO TAKE JOSO DOWN TO THE CANVAS! JOSO IS DOWN AND RULER INSTANTLY DROPS DOWN AS WELL TO HOOK THE LEG AND GO FOR THE PIN! THE REFEREE SLIDES DOWN FOR THE COUNT! COULD THIS BE THE MOMENT WHERE WE SEE THE INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP CHANGE HANDS TONIGHT???
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
…
…
…
Jake Mercer: NO! NO! ANDRE WALKER OUT OF NOWHERE JUST BROKE UP THE PIN ATTEMPT! THIS MATCH IS FAR FROM OVER THANKS TO THE UNDISPUTED WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT INTERWIRE CHAMPION AND NOW PUSHES ON!
Stew-O: Ruler doesn’t have any time to soak it in as Andre immediately heaves him up to his feet before manhandling him into the corner! Andre from there begins to absolutely tee off with shots towards the abdomen! Repeated lefts and rights which take the air out of Ruler’s lungs with every piercing blow! Ruler tries to fight back, but just when he thinks he has it all sorted out it’s Andre that grabs him by the head… BEFORE LAUNCHING HIM OVER HIS HEAD AND DOWN TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE RING! Ruler takes a hard landing but is beginning to get back up already, BEFORE ANDRE SPINS AROUND AND ATTEMPTS A DISCUS LARIAT TO PUT THE CHERRY ON TOP-
Flannery McCoy: BUT RULER AVOIDS THAT! Andre stumbles but turns around, ONLY FOR RULER TO RUN FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG WHICH DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Ruler then snatches the legs, HE’S GOING FOR THE BOSTON CRAB SUBMISSION HOLD- BUT THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN WITH ANDRE MANAGING TO UNWIND HIMSELF AND PUSH AWAY FROM HIS GRASP! The two of them both get back up to their feet, BUT RULER IS FIRST CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK TO THE CHEST WHICH SENDS ANDRE AGAINST THE ROPES!
Jake Mercer: Ruler then runs forward realizing that’s not going to take Andre down, ONLY TO FALL INTO ANDRE LIFTING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND PLANTING HIM DOWN INTO A SPINEBUSTER! Ruler is down while Andre brings him back up, GOING FOR A SAMOAN DROP THIS TIME- BUT RULER MANAGES TO SLIP OFF OF HIS SHOULDERS BEFORE TURNING HIM AROUND AND BOOTING HIM IN THE KNEE! Ruler then runs to the ropes and back… BEFORE GOING FOR A HURRICANRANA TO ANDRE-
Stew-O: WAIT! ANDRE MANAGES TO HOLD HIS GROUND AND KEEP RULER UP ON HIS SHOULDERS! HE’S GOING FOR ‘HONOR KILLED THE SAMURAI’! POWERBOMB FOLLOWED BY A FALLING FOREARM TO CAP THIS MATCH OFF!
Flannery McCoy: BUT RULER MANAGES TO KEEP HIMSELF UP! NO WAY! RULER SHOWING SIGNS OF LIFE RIGHT NOW AS HE MANAGES TO KEEP HIMSELF UP ON THE SHOULDERS OF ANDRE BEFORE HE CAN FULLY EXECUTE THE FINISHING MOVE! ANDRE TRIES TO KEEP HIM UP AND BALANCE HIM BUT NOW RULER BEGINS TO RAIN DOWN REPEATED PUNCHES TOWARD HIS HEAD TO CONTINUE TO FAN THE FLAMES! Ruler now begins to guide Andre… BEFORE SENDING HIM TOWARD THE ROPES AND GRABBING A HOLD OF THEM HIMSELF SENDING ANDRE OVER THE TOP AND DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE!
Jake Mercer: This takes Andre out for the time being while Ruler lands on the apron before entering the ring, and this gives Ruler more than enough time as he takes a step back and begins to direct himself toward the center of the ring… WAIT! JOSO FROM BEHIND LIFTS RULER UP OFF THE GROUND AND CONNECTS WITH ‘RUNAWAY’! THE FIREMAN’S CARRY INTO A SITOUT SIDE POWERSLAM CONNECTS AND IF THERE’S ONE THING THAT RULER DIDN’T EXPECT IT’S FOR THE NEW ERA CLASSIC WINNER TO TAKE HIM BY SURPRISE ESPECIALLY WHEN HE THOUGHT HE WAS SAFE! JOSO ISN’T DONE THOUGH AS NOW HE LOOKS TO PUT THE FINISHING TOUCH ON THIS MATCH…
Stew-O: ‘GRATEFUL DEATH’! ARGENTINE BACKBREAKER TRANSITIONED INTO A KNEE LIFT CONNECTS COMPLETELY TAKING OUT RULER! BUT IF THAT WASN’T ENOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE JOSO ISN’T OVER JUST YET!
Flannery McCoy: TURNING IT INTO A WRIST-LOCK TRANSITIONED SHORT-ARM LARIAT! ‘KING’S CROWN’ CONNECTS AND RULER HAS BEEN COMPLETELY LEVELED WITH THE CANVAS! JOSO IS WASTING NO TIME NOW AND THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET! THEY CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT THEY’RE SEEING RIGHT NOW! JOSO HOOKS THE LEGS! COULD THIS BE THE END OF THIS MATCH AS WE KNOW IT???
OOONNNEEE!!!
Stew-O: ANDRE WALKER ON THE OUTSIDE REALIZES WHAT’S GOING ON AND IMMEDIATELY PUSHES BACK UP TO HIS FEET!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Flannery McCoy: HE SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING AND LEAPS INTO THE AIR LOOKING TO BREAK UP THE PIN!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
…
…
…
Jake Mercer: HE’S TOO LATE! HE’S TOO LATE! WE HAVE A NEW INTERWIRE CHAMPION!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘No Messiah’ once again begins to blast through the speakers of the arena to an absolute standing ovation. Joso immediately rolls out of the ring before Andre Walker can grab a hold of him and falls back against the barricade, a look of surprise and shock on his face while the crowd rallies him up in the front row. The referee makes his way over and holds out the Interwire Championship, Joso taking a good look at it before snatching it into his possession and clutching it close to his chest. Joso then takes his newly won prize and raises it high in the air, with the crowd singing his praises and amping him up in the start of a glorious celebration.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… and NEW EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!! JOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: I CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT I’VE JUST WITNESSED TONIGHT! 328 DAYS AS INTERWIRE CHAMPION! THE LONGEST REIGNING IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COMPANY! POSSIBLY ONE OF THE GREATEST INTERWIRE CHAMPIONS OF ALL TIME HAS JUST BEEN DEFEATED!
Flannery McCoy: I can’t deny I’m in awe when it comes to that either. But in the end the person that defeated him could not be more deserving of that honor. Joso, someone who has worked his butt off since his arrival and has taken the entirety of Elite Answers Wrestling by storm. Winning the New Era Classic trophy was just a precursor for what was to come, and tonight we just got the opportunity to see exactly why.
Jake Mercer: While this defeat has definitely rocked the core of the island of relevancy. :mjcry: I gotta give credit to everyone in this match for what they’ve done. Andre is him, he has accomplished everything that was possible to accomplish and even in defeat walks away with gold around his waist. Ruler is someone that has a limitless ceiling and has what it takes to take this entire company by storm if he waits it out and trusts the process. And Joso is 100% everything that he says he is, HE JUST DON’T MISS!
Stew-O: This is one that we’ll remember folks and I hope everyone in this match is proud of their effort because it made for a main event to be proud of in the first supershow of the Season. What a way to cap things off, and I think that’s all the time we have. Ladies and gentlemen thank you for watching. Congratulations to Joso. And on behalf of Flannery McCoy and Jake Mercer, I’m Stew-O, signing out.
(Joso is seen entering into the ring and climbing up to the top rope, raising the Interwire Championship with both of his hands while pyro shoots out on the stage. Andre Walker is seen at ringside with Albert Hitchman, disappointed in defeat but still wearing the World Heavyweight Championship as he makes his leave. This marks his first loss in a long time, but if one things for certain is that Andre is going to make sure it’s his only for quite some time. Ruler is seen in the corner, watching his rival celebrate his victory with a disappointed look on his face. He shakes his head before dropping down and beginning to make his leave behind Andre as well. That leaves Joso inside the ring, who slings the Interwire Championship around his shoulder with a prideful look on his face with that being the last shot seen before Poor Unfortunate Souls begins to completely fade from there.)
(Slowly, as the Dynasty broadcast begins to fade away from the Andre Walker vs. Ruler vs. Joso Interwire Championship Rewind, we begin to pan toward the backstage area. Footage on the screen shows a large ironed out, black sheet featuring the EAW logo, the Dynasty logo, the Pain For Pride logo, alongside numerous of EAW’s sponsors – such as Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Cracker Barrel, and Disney Pixar’s Elemental – serving as a backdrop for the angle of the camera. In front of this sheet, however, would be two men. On the right, we see none other than Michael Belfort, dressed in his best suit, an EAW branded microphone in hand. On the left, we see Joso, wearing a Black T-Shirt with the Cash in the Vault logo design on the front, however, the text would be replaced to read “HIM in the Vault.” Michael Belfort would smile as the camera begins rolling, and starts to speak.)
Michael Belfort: Ladies and Gentlemen, in just one weeks time, the biggest annual event in wrestling will unfold once more. The biggest spectacle this sport has ever seen. Pain For Pride. Over the past few months, the card has bloomed, revealing itself to be one of the most promising Pain For Pride cards ever, and the same can be said for the Cash in the Vault Ladder Match. On the Dynasty side of things, we have two men who are among the hottest of up and comers in the company. Two leaders of the dubbed “New Era” here in EAW. Ruler, and the man joining me today, Joso. Pleasure to be having you here.
(The camera pans over to Joso.)
Joso: Of course.
Michael Belfort: Now, to start things off, I’m not going to beat around the bush. I want to ask you straight up; give me an insight on your chances, and what they are like next week?
(Michael Belfort directs the microphone to Joso.)
Joso: Well, you ain’t really gotta ask that, no disrespect :mjgrin:. I value my chances, you know I do, and it ain’t because I’m just delusional or any of that, and it certainly ain’t no overconfidence; I value my chances because I know just what it’s going to take to win that match, and beat everyone to do so. See, I’m not stupid. I’m not bout to approach this match saying that there ain’t any other winner but me, everyone else is stupid for thinking they got a chance, because I know that they’re in this match for a reason. I’d be stupid to say that I earned my shot in this match, that I belong in here, but also say no one else does, especially since two of em won ladder matches to get in here, and I ain’t ever had one of them before. I know damn well what it will take to win, and because I know that, I know how to overcome it. For as much as I know how good everyone is, I know I can be better. I know that I can grab that briefcase, and reap the rewards that everybody been saying I can reap. I thought I was ready for that World Championship at Fighting Spirit, but what I got from that match instead was the edge, drive, and conviction to win this one instead.
Joso: Everybody in this match is a tough opponent. I ain’t overlooking the challenge, but I ain’t gonna let the journey that I been on this whole season to just result in nothing. From day one, to day three hundred and sixty five, I’m not gon’ let it blow up in my face, I’m not gon’ let anyone light a spark on that journey and turn it to ashes, I’m NOT gonna let any of that happen to me. I will not allow everything here to be for nothing, because think about what I’ve done. Territorial Invasion Main Event. One of the best Interwire Championship reigns known to man. Won a whole tournament within months of being here, won gold within months of being here, and beat Andre Walker of all people to do so. I know this match is for me, I won’t let it go any other way. I’m sure Alex, Miku, Ruler, Donovan, and Sheridan will all be tough, but I’m bout to prove I’m better, as I almost guarantee that World Championship victory next season, by climbing a ladder, grabbing the most illustrious briefcase this damn world ever seen, after risking life and limb, making sure that the New Era starts with HIM.
(Michael Belfort returns the microphone.)
Michael Belfort: Thank you, Joso. Next I’d like to-
???: You’d like to do nothing. This is not an interview anymore.
Joso: :comeagain:
(Joso and Michael Belfort turn their heads to the left, off camera, as eventually none other than Ruler steps into frame. Joso shakes his head, as Ruler places his hand on Michael Belfort’s shoulder, and pulls him away from the frame, just leaving Ruler and Joso in front of the camera.)
Ruler: No, Joso. The New Era doesn’t start with you. It starts with me. All along I have been the face of the New Era and it will be solidified at Pain For Pride. Because, you see Joso, you have had your chance already, let’s not forget that, and you squandered it. You could have accomplished everything you currently set out to accomplish, yet you didn’t, we’re both here together, and you are just another obstacle in my way. You want to talk about “I won’t let them do this,” “I won’t let them do that” but allow me to fill you in; while you have HAD your opportunity, I simply haven’t. I’ve been competing to get it, and now, I finally do. If there is anyone who “won’t let” anyone do ANYTHING to halt that, it’s going to be me. I won’t let you take away that from me, not in the slightest. I won’t let you take away this opportunity, without a doubt. I won’t let you preach what you’re preaching, when you failed, and I won’t. That is the difference between our two scenarios, and it is EXACTLY why I edge over you. This is mine to win.
Ruler: You see, both of us didn’t get what we wanted at Grand Rampage, right? After all, the two of us walked down that ramp one and two, and the two of us fought like hell to be in that Pain For Pride main event, to win the World Heavyweight Championship, yet we just didn’t get what we wanted, even after going so far. But, despite that, what WAS proven was the fact that I was willing to work harder to win that match than you were, and come Pain For Pride, there will be no mistakes. When there is nothing between us besides a ladder and a grudge, when we are both standing on the top trading strikes, when we are both standing on the top bullying one another with the most damaging attacks we can possibly muster up, I know that I am going to push myself beyond whatever you possibly can, and after all is said and done, the only one falling off the ladder will be you Joso. After all is said and done, it will be me who unhooks the briefcase. It will be me who gets one step closer to my destiny. It will be me who gets one step closer to a World Championship.
(Joso sighs.)
Joso: I dunno why you tryna make this the trauma olympics talking bout some “your struggle don’t compare to mine!” when all that matters is, I’ve struggled, had my journey, and ain’t nothing gonna stop me at Pain For Pride. You can “struggle” more than me if you want, Ruler, you can be in more pain than me if you want, I can even help you out with that when I beat you and make sure you gotta suffer more. I don’t wanna hear it. I’m making it known that you are NOT stopping me.
Ruler: But that’s where you’re wrong. Because, when it’s just between us, as I said, because of the fact I’ve worked harder and I’ve known struggle more than you have, I’m going to push myself harder, and I’m going to be the one that is good enough to project himself into that main event stardom. You won’t. Why is that? Because despite making your point, I came in and made the point stronger, and now you have to try and dodge and weave to escape it. I see through you. I’m going to end this between us once and for all, as I finally PROVE that I am better than you…
(Joso looks as if he’s going to speak, as he looks Ruler dead in the eye… before he chuckles.)
Joso: Aight lil’ bro. Whatever you say! :mjlol2:
(He pats Ruler on the back, as he walks off, out of frame, leaving Ruler on his own. The camera begins to pan in focusing on Ruler’s face, as he clearly looks pissed off. Joso’s attitude didn’t sit well with him, his response clearly wasn’t what he wanted to hear, and because of that, Ruler’s disdain for Joso perhaps grew tenfold. As the camera begins to pan back, still focusing on Ruler’s pissed off face, the broadcast fades elsewhere…)
[SCREENBAR: Sienna Jade vs Harper Lee – Universal Womens Championship – Justified Reckoning 2022]
(We would then fade to ringside, as we see Stephie Love standing in the center of the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Stephie Love: As it is for the EAW Universal Women’s Championship!!!
(‘Unf**kwithable’ by Deez Nuts would soon flood through the speakers, as the EAW audience would provide a mixed reaction. The camera would pan over to the stage, as we see the same “Sienna Jade” graphic that was playing on the Territorial Invasion Titantron just a month prior, a moment that nobody expected to happen, not even The Champion. Sienna Jade would then walk out onto the stage, dressed in Gold, as she looks ready to pick up what could possibly be the biggest win of her career, if not her life – and it’s safe to say she looks prepared, not a single nerve showing. Sienna Jade would walk down the ramp, before entering the ring, posing as she does so.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… hailing from Calgary Alberta Canada, residing in Seattle Washington; weighign in at 135 pounds… SIENNAAAAAA JAAAAAAAAAAADE!!!!!!!!!
(Sienna Jade would pose on the top turnbuckles, as she signifies a Championship around her waist, before eventually her theme fades out. Soon after, ‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics, Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart would replace it, as the entire EAW audience would jump to boos, reading Harper Lee’s graphics on the stage. Walking out dressed in a purely white attire, with a hint of gold, the same color scheme as the title that she possesses, Harper Lee would smirk as she pats the Universal Women’s Championship that is around her waist, flaunting it proudly, seeing as it is the top accomplishment of her career. She would then begin to walk down the ramp, before quickly entering the ring.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent… hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina… weighing in at 118 pounds… she is the EAW Universal Women’s Champion… HARPEEEEER LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(Harper Lee would unstrap the Championship around her waist, before raising it high above her head. Her theme song would fade out, as the referee takes the title, and raises it so the hardcam can see. Harper and Sienna would rest in their corners, before the bell soon rings.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Flannery McCoy: And this Universal Women’s Championship match is underway, as the bell rings, and the bell rings, Harper and Sienna sprinting right towards each other! Sienna sweeps the leg and enters the lateral press!
OOOOOOOOOOOONNN-
Flannery McCoy: A quick kick out from Harper, though, as the two Elitists immediately bounce back up to a standing base! Sienna makes her way back over to Harper but her sprint is cut off as Harper sweeps the leg just like Sienna did and enters the cover!
OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNN-
Flannery McCoy: But once again, it doesn’t get the job done; though that’s to be expected! This is a main event program, there is no way it’s going to end like that. Sienna and Harper scurry back up to their feet- BEFORE HARPER LOOKS TO NAIL SIENNA JADE WITH THE ‘DRAGON FIST’ RIGHT HOOK- NO! SIENNA JADE DUCKS IT, AND LANDS A GERMAN SUPLEX, RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! Harper Lee bounce to her knees and holds into her back after that german suplex landed, having failed to connect with one of her most deadly signature maneuvers, something that would’ve guaranteed her getting the upper hand, if not more!
Jake Mercer: And what a great right hook it is, very reminiscent of the one a Japanese wrestling legend by the name of “The Founding Titan” Roronoa Vegeta used to win his 3rd UWJP Championship!
Flannery McCoy: :stopitslime:
Stew-O: That right hook didn’t connect though, and now Sienna Jade is able to pick Harper Lee apart, grabbing her by the hair and pulling her up to a standing base! She places her arm around Harper’s before lifting her up in a vertical suplex position, aiming for a Brainbuster- but Harper drops to her feet, and sprints forward; driving Sienna Jade back-first into the turnbuckles right behind her! Her grip is immediately broken, as Harper Lee now begins to fire chops and forearm combos right to Sienna’s chest! Over, and over, and over, and over; trying her best to slump Sienna Jade, and it works! Sienna falls into a seated position in the corner, giving Harper time to take her opponent apart! Harper grabs Sienna by the hair, lifting her up to a standing base, before she takes a walk to the opposite corner! Harper takes a run up… BEFORE LOOK ING TO CONNECT WITH THE SUNSET FLIP BOMB INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! ‘THE RUMBLING’!!!
Jake Mercer: SIENNA PLANTS HER HIPS BEFORE KNEELING ON HARPER’S SHOULDERS!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Jake Mercer: HARPER KICKS OUT! SIENNA IS PUSHED OFF OF HER, AS THEY BOTH GET BACK UP! BUT LOOK HERE, SIENNA JADE IMMEDIATELY GOES TO CONNECT WITH ‘WITCHES HAMMER’ – THE RIPCORD ROLLING ELBOW, BUT HARPER CONNECTS WITH A DROP TOE HOLD, SENDING SIENNA STRAIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE ROPE! HARPER TURNS AROUND AND SPRINTS, HITTING THE ROPES… TIGER FEINT KICK! IT CLOCKS SIENNA ON THE JAW, AND SHE STUMBLES BACK INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING! HARPER LEAPS… SPRINGBOARD DIVING DDT PLANTS SIENNA IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Flannery McCoy: A fantastic counter from Harper Lee, but that’s to be expected from the champion! There’s a reason Harper Lee is champ and Sienna Jade is gonna find that out the most difficult way imaginable, Harper Lee isn’t going down without a fight. Harper gets straight back up to her feet, before grabbing onto Sienna Jade’s head! She pulls her into a standing base, before pushing her into the corner! Harper Lee now begins to slam her head straight into the turnbuckles, over and over and over! She’s found her target, and she’s now taking aim!
Stew-O: Harper Lee grabs Sienna Jade by the trunks, gripping them with her fingernails, before roughly pulling her away from the corner! She grabs Sienna by the shoulder, before throwing her STRAIGHT INTO THE RING POST! That has got to be painful, as Sienna immediately clutches her shoulder! Harper Lee, however, is chuckling to herself as the person who came back after two years just to challenge her is now on the ground, reeling in pain! Harper doesn’t waste too much time, though, as she then grabs Sierra by the same shoulder, before dragging her to the center of the ring!
Jake Mercer: YIKES! AND A NASTY KICK STRAIGHT TO THE ARM! I’m not surprised that is where she’s targeting now, the head and shoulder being her target will absolutely help her in the long run for not just one but two of her finishing moves seeing as they target the exact same area! Harper Lee now begins to stomp on Sienna’s shoulder, over and over, making sure to dig the heel of her boot in as she does so, damaging Sienna’s shoulder as much as she possibly can, there’s absolutely no way that can feel good, not in the slightest!
Flannery McCoy: Absolutely not, just listen to the sound of those kicks and stomps! There’s no kickpad assisting that noise either, they straight up sound like a shotgun! Harper Lee is completely brutalizing her opponent here, and its’ going to continue even more as she lifts Sienna up to her feet! She quickly drags Sienna over to the ropes, before wrapping her arm over it to keep her standing! Harper Lee turns around, and runs… hitting the ropes BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HUGE SHOTGUN DROPKICK DIRECTLY INTO SIENNA’S SHOULDER! MUTALATING HER, BEFORE SHE’S QUICK TO HOOK HER OPPONENT’S LEG!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Flannery McCoy: But Sienna lifts her injured shoulder up to kick out! This isn’t looking good for the future first ballot Hall of Famer, but perhaps she can turn it around for herself?
Stew-O: It’s a possibility, but right now, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be the case, as Harper Lee once again grabs her by the trunks and lifts her up off the mat! She places her head underneath Sienna’s arm, before lifting her up in the air… FOR ‘RAGNAROK’!! THE OLYMPIC SLAM PLANTS THE FORMER NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION RIGHT INTO THE MAT!!
Jake Mercer: BUT SIENNA SLIPS OUT, AND HITS A HALF-AND HALF SUPLEX! SHE SPIKES HARPER LEE ON HER NECK ONCE MORE, AND THE WHIPLASH OF THE MOVE SENDS HARPER BOUNCING OVER ONTO HER BACK! Sienna Jade was able to slip through the counter window at the last possible second, and it helped her gain the upper hand; albeit at an expense, as she immediately goes to grab onto her shoulder! That doesn’t seem like it matters, though, as she slowly crawls back up to her feet, grabbing Harper Lee by her purple hair, undoubtedly looking to end the match right here, and right now!
Flannery McCoy: She grabs Harper Lee by the waistband of her trunks, slowly being able to pull her up into a standing base, which is considerably easier than expected given the height advantage she has over Harper, it’s a surprise that she hasn’t been able to ragdoll her at times – Harper is truly too skillful to let that happen! But right now, Harper might not be skillful enough to fight through this stunned state, as Sienna Jade grabs her by the wrist… ‘WITCHES HAMMER’ CONNECTS LIKE IT DIDN’T BEFORE; THE RIPCORD ROLLING ELBOW TO HARPER’S JAW, I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED IF IT KNOCKED A TOOTH OUT! INTO THE COVER!
OOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTT-
Stew-O: BUT THE CHAMPION KICKS OUT! Fantastic move from Sienna Jade, however, it wasn’t enough to give her the win. Let’s not downplay how quickly she was able to get the upper hand over Harper and come mere inches away from victory, though, there’s absolutely no doubting that if she wants to, Sienna Jade could put her opponent away at any moment, and by the looks of things, she wants to make that moment right now; wasting no time, she doesn’t look surprised Harper escaped, and continues the match forward!
Jake Mercer: She rolls Harper onto her stomach, before placing a hand at the back of her head, using her force to keep her down, face-first into the mat, before she looks to hook both of her arms to apply the ‘Temptress’ Double Underhook Crossface! This could be extremely damaging right now, but if Harper Lee isn’t able to counter it, it could legitimately be all over! Sienna hooks one of Harper’s arms between her legs, before she looks to lift the other one over her shoulder…. AND IT’S LOCKED IN- NO! HARPER ROLLS INTO A COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Flannery McCoy: Sienna has to let go in order to escape the cover, as Harper – holding her head – begins to crawl back to a standing base, stumbling away from her opponent as she looks to retreat in the corner, but Sienna isn’t letting that happen! Sienna gets back up to her feet, before charging forward and connecting with a forearm to the back of Harper’s head, sending her crashing into the turnbuckles! This doesn’t look good for the champion as Sienna now lifts her up onto the top rope, perhaps looking to connect with some sort of avalanche move!
Stew-O: Sienna scales the turnbuckles one by one, as Harper Lee looks completely dazed; there’s absolutely no way Harper is going to see this one coming, and perhaps, there’s a good chance she isn’t going to kick out! Sienna Jade reaches the top, before hooking Harper’s head and placing her arm over her shoulder, looking for a superplex here! Sienna lifts Harper up as the two stand on the top… BEFORE SHE TURNS AROUND! NO NO NO, SIENNA JADE ISN’T JUST LOOKING FOR ANY REGULAR SUPERPLEX INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING, SHE’S LOOKING TO INCAPACITATE HER WITH A TURNBUCKLE BRAINBUSTER!
Flannery McCoy: WHOAAAAAAAAAA!!! I’VE NEVER SEEN HARPER LEE HIT THAT MOVE SO FAST IN MY LIFE!
Jake Mercer: HARPER LEE SWINGS HER FEET DOWN ONTO THE TOP ROPE, BEFORE IMMEDIATELY HITTING ‘DIRTY FIREWORKS’ – THE AVALANCHE SWINGING NECKBREAKER – FROM OUT OF NOWHERE! SHE MOVED AS IF SHE WAS THE FLASH, BETTER YET, THE A-TRAIN! NOBODY IS GONNA STOP THE H-TRAIN TONIGHT, AS HARPER LEE QUICKLY CRAWLS OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
…
…
Referee: NO!
Harper Lee: (off-mic) :comeagain:
Jake Mercer: THE REFEREE CAUGHT HARPER LEE’S FEET ON THE ROPES! HE THROWS OFF THE COVER BEFORE THREE!
Harper Lee: (off-mic) WHAT ARE YOU DOING?? THIS IS SO UNFAIR, I HAD THIS WON!
(Harper Lee stands out of the cover to yell at the referee.)
Harper Lee: (off-mic) WHO TOLD YOU THAT THIS WAS OKAY? I BETTER NOT CATCH YOU DOING THIS AGAIN-
Jake Mercer: SCHOOL BOY HOLD FROM SIENNA JADE!
OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Jake Mercer: HARPER LEE IS ABLE TO KICK SIENNA JADE OFF OF HER, THOUGH, JUST BEFORE THE THREE COUNT! THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTEROUS, BUT HARPER LEE IS ABLE TO ESCAPE AS SHE ROLLS ONTO HER STOMACH TO CRAWL TO HER FEET-
Flannery McCoy: ‘TEMPTRESS’ DOUBLE UNDERHOOK CROSSFACE!!! SIENNA JADE’S FINISHING SUBMISSION HAS BEEN APPLIED, AND HARPER LEE HAS ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE TO GO!!!
Jake Mercer: OH NO! THE CHAMPION HAS BEEN LOCKED IN A DEVASTATING SUBMISSION THAT HAS ENDED COUNTLESS MATCHES IN THE PAST! HARPER LEE COULD BE FORCED TO TAP OR FADE OUT RIGHT HERE, AS SHE HAS SEEMINGLY NOWHERE TO ESCAPE TO! THIS COULD BE DISASTEROUS! HER CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN IS POSSIBLY NEARING THE END, AS HER ARMS ARE ISOLATED, AND THE WEIGHT OF SIENNA JADE IS PRESSING ON HER BACK, THERE’S NOWHERE TO GO! IS SHE GONNA FIGHT TO THE END, OR IS SHE GONNA TAP!?
Stew-O: IT COULD GO EITHER WAY, JAKE, BECAUSE WHILE HARPER LEE HAS BEEN ABLE TO HOLD ONTO HER CHAMPIONSHIP SO FAR, THERE ISN’T MUCH YOU CAN DO DURING A MOVE SUCH AS THIS! THERE’S NOT MANY OPTIONS, AND GIVEN SHE’S NOWHERE NEAR THE ROPES, THOSE OPTIONS ARE EVEN THINNER! HARPER LEE IS GONNA TAP, THERE’S ABSOLUTELY NO WAY SHE DOESN’T! SIENNA JADE HAS JUST PICKED UP YET ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP IN HER ILLUSTREOUS CAREER, WHILE HARPER LEE TASTES DEFEAT ON FREE-PER-VIEW FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS! THIS ONE HAS GOT TO BE OVER!!
Flannery McCoy: HARPER LEE ISN’T GIVING UP THOUGH, EVEN WHEN SIENNA JADE WRENCHES BACK EVEN FURTHER; HARPER ISN’T GIVING UP! WE’VE SEEN HER SUBMIT IN THE PAST, BUT WE’VE ALSO SEEN HER FIGHT TO THE VERY END! LOOK AT HER MATCHES WITH ADAM LUCAS FOR EXAMPLE, IT TOOK EVERYTHING TO PUT HER AWAY, SHE DIDN’T GIVE UP, SHE ONLY LOST WHEN SHE COULDN’T GO ON- AND PERHAPS WE’RE GOING TO SEE THAT HERE! HARPER ISN’T GONNA SUBMIT, BUT SIENNA JADE IS INSTEAD GOING TO KILL HER JUST TO BECOME UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION-
Jake Mercer: NO! HARPER SLIPS HER ARM AWAY FROM SIENNA’S LEGS, AND STANDS BACK UP! SHE ROLLS SIENNA OVER… ‘SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR’!!! THE ARM-TRAPPED CURB STOMP CONNECTS, AND HARPER LEE FALLS INTO A COVER!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
…
Stew-O: KICK OUT FROM THE CHALLENGER!
Flannery McCoy: OH MAN! What a turn of events we just witnessed here! Harper Lee didn’t want to give up in that submission hold, but she was SO CLOSE to losing her Championship here to Sienna Jade. We were all convinced that Harper Lee was moments away from letting that title slip from her grasp, but somehow, she was able to pull something out of the hat, and slip away. She turned the tables and convinced everyone SIENNA was going to lose; but Sienna had enough spirit inside of her to pop her shoulder up off the mat in order to continue this match right here! These two are putting on an absolute clinic right now, and that’s to be expected from two of the best women’s Elitists to ever do it, and perhaps, simply two of the best Elitists IN GENERAL to ever do it! They’re not letting the other get the upper hand permanently, they’re not staying down for a three count, and they are NOT submitting!
Stew-O: And that’s just how you have to fight in a World Championship match, Flannery, there’s nothing else you can do! You can’t let your opponent get ahead of you, which may be true for most matches, but in a career defining match such as this? Falling behind even once signifies failure, an inability to keep up, and neither of these two Elitists are coming even remotely close to that being the truth! However, while that may have been close to the end, this match itself isn’t over, and it’s going to continue until one of them can’t!
Jake Mercer: And obviously, it’s going to take a lot more to make sure their opponent can’t continue. We have seen signatures, finishers; it didn’t keep them down, and they’ll have to dig deeper into the tank in order to pull out a victory. I don’t know about you, but this is shaping up to be a Tokyo Dome-level match, and believe me, I have seen a lot of them in my time! Not too long ago we witnessed an all-time classic between Drake Jeager and his twin brother Eren Jeager at Japan Kingdom 78!!! This is shaping up to be just like that!
(Harper Lee and Sienna Jade slowly crawl to their knees, as the two of them then butt heads. They use each other’s weight and leverage to pull each other off the mat, slowly recovering to their feet, their hate-filled gaze not leaving the other. Harper Lee seems absolutely pissed off that Sienna Jade is still in this, while Sienna has a subtle smirk on her face that could be read as her telling Harper to “bring it on.” Harper Lee would soon oblige, as she grabs Sienna Jade by the hair.)
Flannery McCoy: And here comes Harper Lee with a huge forearm straight to the jaw! Sienna Jade was quite frankly taken aback by that forearm as, despite Harper Lee’s petite size and stature –
Jake Mercer: A seven foot giant. :100:
Flannery McCoy – she sure does pack a punch! Perhaps she doesn’t have the muscle mass, but she has the speed and technique; and her forearms are just as dangerous as anyone else’s, if not more! But Sienna Jade isn’t out for long… as she is quick to return her own to Harper Lee, who stumbles STRAIGHT back into the ropes! That dazed her!
Stew-O: Harper Lee’s eyes almost rolled into the back of her head! While you may have been correct about Harper’s forearm being as deadly as it is, there’s absolutely no denying that Sienna Jade has the edge over her when it comes to strikes! Harper Lee fell to her knee, and is repeatedly blinking! She’s stunned, and is likely feeling the effects of a headache right now! After that many blows to the head, there’s no doubting it’s been accompanied by a headache and probable sickness, I once got jumped at a night club and felt sick cuz of how dazed I was… story for another time.
Jake Mercer: But Harper Lee isn’t staying back whatsoever! Some may call this an act of stupidity, after all, there’s no denying that it isn’t the smartest thing to do when you’ve just been struck in the head, absolutely dazed; but I see this as an act of defiance! Harper isn’t gonna let the Championship slip out from underneath her as if it were a dollar bill slipping out of her wallet, or grains of sand slipping through fingers; Harper is gonna keep fighting, and Sienna Jade chuckles at this! She finds it amusing!
Flannery McCoy: Harper grabs onto Sienna’s kneepad, sinking her fingers into the fishnets to use as leverage, before she slowly pulls herself up to a standing base! Sienna Jade grabs onto Harper’s jaw, as she looks to connect with another forearm-
**SLAP!**
Flannery McCoy: OH GOD! A DISRESPECTFUL SHOT FROM HARPER, AS SHE SLAPS SIENNA JADE RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE! THERE’S NO WAY SHE’S GOING TO TAKE THIS LIGHTLY, SHE’S NOT GOING TO TAKE THAT ON THE CHIN! SIENNA’S FACIAL EXPRESSION COMPLETELY CHANGES, AS HARPER STUMBLES BACK… AND NOW SIENNA JADE CHARGES TOWARDS HER OPPONENT-
Jake Mercer: WHAT THE????
Stew-O: ‘EVISCERATION’ FROM HARPER LEE!!! THE DOUBLE KNEE FACEBUSTER TO SIENNA JADE; THAT’S IMPACT’S MOVE! WE ALL KNOW ABOUT SIENNA JADE AND IMPACT’S RELATIONSHIP, AND HARPER LEE IS LOOKING TO WIN WITH HIS MANEUVER! INTO THE COVER!
OOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT SIENNA JADE IS STILL IN IT! WHAT A DISGUSTING SHOW OF DISRESPECT BY HARPER LEE, AND I AM NOT SURPRISED SIENNA JADE WAS ABLE TO KICK OUT OF THAT; THERE’S NO WAY SHE’S GOING TO LET THAT SLIDE! Harper Lee rolls off of Sienna Jade, before recovering to her feet!
(Harper Lee looks down at her opponent, before a smirk comes across her face. She looks at her downed opponent with a condescending impression that simply screams “I’m better than you.”)
Stew-O: And now, the roles are reversed! It’s now Sienna as the one crawling over to Harper Lee, downed and out, it’s now Sienna as the one who is clinging to Harper’s attire just to get back to her feet, and it’s now Harper laughing at this and finding it amusing! Harper Lee grabs onto the crown of Sienna Jade’s hair, before she quickly connects with a huge elbow right to the damn skull!
Jake Mercer: …BUT IT DOES NOTHING! SIENNA JADE FURIOUSLY LOOKS UP AT HARPER LEE WITH FIRE IN HER EYES!
Harper Lee: (off-mic)
Jake Mercer: AND HERE COMES SIENNA JADE WITH STRIKES! SHE POPS RIGHT BACK UP TO HER FEET, BEFORE CLOBBERING HARPER LEE IN THE FACE WITH A PUNCH! HARPER DROPS DOWN, BUT QUICKLY SCURRIES TO HER FEET… ONLY TO BE HIT WITH ANOTHER!
Crowd: :blessed:
Jake Mercer: HARPER LEE NOW BEGINS TO CRAWL TO THE APRON, LOOKING TO SLIP OUT THROUGH THE BOTTOM ROPE- BUT SIENNA WON’T LET HER! SIENNA ISN’T LETTING HARPER ESCAPE, AS SHE GRABS ONTO HER FOOT– BUT HARPER KICKS HER STRAIGHT IN THE HEAD! HARPER NOTICES SIENNA JADE IS FIRED UP, AND NOW SHE’S GONNA HAVE TO OUTSMART HER! HARPER GETS UP ON THE APRON- BUT WHAT’S THIS???
Flannery McCoy: SIENNA JADE HITS THE ROPES, BEFORE SPRINTING OVER TO HARPER LEE, CONNECTING WITH A SPEAR THAT SENDS BOTH OF THEM TO THE OUTSIDE! HARPER LEE INTRODUCED IMPACT’S MOVE INTO THIS MATCH, AND SIENNA JADE JUST SEARCHED DEEP INSIDE HER, PULLING OUT A MOVE EXECUTED BY MR. DEDEDE, IMPACT’S LIQUID SWORDZ TEAMMATE, OR PERHAPS EVEN KASSIDY HEART, OF THE JADED HEARTS! HARPER HAS BEEN VERY VOCAL ABOUT KASS THROUGHOUT THIS FEUD, AND IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THAT IT’S FRESH IN SIENNA’S MIND!
(As the two Elitists rest on the outside due to the landing, a replay shot springs up on screen.)
(REPLAY:
)
(The replay image comes to a close, as we see Sienna Jade on her knees.)
Stew-O: That spear just took the two of them out, and now Sienna is looking to recover! However, she’s gonna have to speed it up, as the referee is now looking to begin his count! He made sure the two of them were fit to continue, now he has to make sure they get BACK into the ring!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
(Sienna Jade grabs onto the apron cover, as she attempts to pull herself back up; to which she succeeds, however she immediately begins to stumble backwards into the barricade.)
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
Stew-O: Sienna Jade is struggling to keep herself standing. :lupe:
(Sienna holds onto her shoulder, the damage done to it by Harper still effecting her, especially after that spear.)
Stew-O: But Sienna is gonna fight through it! She grabs onto Harper Lee, and throws her into the ring!
SEVEN!
Stew-O: Sienna looks to slide in behind her-
Jake Mercer: BUT HARPER LEE CONNECTS WITH A ‘DRAGON FIST’ TO SIENNA! SHE DIDN’T GET ALL OF IT, AFTER ALL SHE’S DOWNED ON THE MAT, BUT IT’S ENOUGH TO KNOCK HER BACKWARDS INTO THE BARRICADE!
EIGHT!
Jake Mercer: HARPER LEE MAY HAVE JUST DAZED SIENNA JADE, AND GIVEN HERSELF THE CHANCE TO RETAIN HER CHAMPIONSHIP BY COUNTOUT! SIENNA’S EYES ARE GAULMLESS RIGHT NOW, STARING OFF INTO THE DISTANCE; SHE IS STUNNED! THAT WAS A PERFECTLY TIMED DRAGON FIST TO SIENNA JADE, AND IT COULD BE THE CATALYST FOR HARPER LEE’S TITLE REMAINING IN HER HANDS! THE REFEREE CONTINUES HIS COUNT, AS IT IS NEARING THE END!
NINE!
Flannery McCoy: SIENNA QUICKLY CHARGES FORWARD, THOUGH!
Stew-O:…BUT SHE SLIPS!
TEN!
Stew-O: …NO! SHE GRABS ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE BEFORE SHE FALLS, AND KICKS HER LEGS UP, SLIDING INTO THE RING AS IF IT WERE THE TIGER FEINT KICK HARPER CONNECTED WITH EARLIER! THE MATCH CONTINUES!
Flannery McCoy: These two are giving it their ALL here tonight, and the match is STILL continuing! Harper Lee has been one of the standout Elitists in this company even beyond her Universal Women’s Championship victory, and Sienna Jade is playing almost like her ultimate test! I have no doubt that Harper can win this, but that’s “CAN” and not “WILL.” Because Sienna Jade has just as much chance as her opponent!
Jake Mercer: But right now, Harper Lee is seemingly looking to make sure that “chance” is just that, a chance, not a guarantee! She grabs Sienna Jade and lifts her up off the mat, before resting her up against the ropes! Harper Lee then grabs the middle rope… and begins to tie Sienna up in them! Both the top and middle rope; she’s isolating her against them to make sure she can’t fight back! This does not look good for the champion!
Stew-O: Not at all, Jake; this is the worst case scenario possible for Sienna Jade! Being tied up in the ropes like that is something absolutely no Elitist wants, and especially not in a World Championship match! Because theoretically, your opponent can do ANYTHING to you, anything in their power, and you can’t stop it! Sure you have your legs, but there’s no way that’s going to keep Harper back forever! Sienna Jade is not in a good position right now, not in the slightest! Harper Lee has the end in sight, as she approaches her opponent!
Flannery McCoy: Harper grabs onto Sienna Jade’s chin, just as Sienna did to her earlier in the match… BEFORE SHE SLAPS HER ACROSS THE FACE ONCE MORE! Harper is toying with Sienna right now, almost like she were food, and there’s nothing Sienna can do about it! Harper Lee chuckles… BEFORE SLAPPING HER AGAIN! Sienna’s hair completely covers her face, all of her styling completely undone, much like Harper’s, and we can’t even SEE how she’s reacting to these slaps! All I know is, there’s no way she’s happy with it!
Stew-O: Speaking of being unhappy, she’s going to be even worse after this…
Jake Mercer: HARPER LEE CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER DRAGON FIST! SHE COMPLETELY SLUMPED SIENNA JADE, HER HEAD DRAPING DOWN, BUT SHE’S STILL STUCK IN THE ROPES! SIENNA JADE JUST GOT KO’D… BUT HARPER LEE ISN’T DONE THERE! HARPER TURNS AROUND AND HITS THE ROPES BESIDE SIENNA… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SPRINTING VERSION OF HER DRAGON FIST RIGHT HOOK! SIENNA JADE IS OUT COLD, AND HARPER BELIEVES IT TO BE THE END! SHE QUICKLY STANDS UP AND UNTIES THE ROPES, AND SIENNA SLUMPS TO THE GROUND! HARPER LEE FLOPS OVER SIENNA, AND GRABS HER KNEEPAD, PULLING HER LEG!
OOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
…
…
…
Stew-O: And Harper Lee rolls off of Sienna after the three count! It’s over!
Flannery McCoy:…but where’s the bell?
Referee: ROPE BREAK!
Harper Lee: :damedolla:
Jake Mercer: WOW! SIENNA JADE LIFTED HER FOOT ONTO THE ROPE, AND THE REFEREE ONLY NOTICED IT AFTER THE THREE COUNT! FANTASTIC RING AWARENESS BY SIENNA JADE, AS THE MATCH CONTINUES!
(Harper Lee looks up at the referee, before down at Sienna. She punches the mat in frustration, before returning to her feet. She angrily kicks the ropes, before grabbing Sienna by the hair, dragging her away from them.)
Jake Mercer: :lupe: :lupe: :lupe: Harper Lee does not have good intentions in mind right now!
Stew-O: Harper Lee has Sienna Jade by the left arm right now, as she places her head against the turnbuckle! We all know what she has in mind!
Flannery McCoy: Harper Lee is looking for the end in the most brutal fashion she can possibly imagine! We’ve seen her connect with the ‘Sleeping on the Floor’ Arm-Trapped Curb Stomp earlier in the match, but it didn’t lead her to much success; right now, Harper is looking to turn it up a notch, as she has her ultimate finisher in mind, the ‘One of Those Nights’ Arm-Trapped Curb Stomp into the turnbuckles, and as we’ve seen before, she does this OVER, AND OVER, AND OVER until Sienna simply won’t be able to continue! This isn’t just a regular version of her move, this is quite literally the embodiment of an ultimate move. There’s no doubt that if this connects, Sienna isn’t seeing the light of tomorrow, it’s going to be the end of the match, and considering Harper wants to absolutely obliterate Sienna in order to pick up another title retention, perhaps even the end of her career!
Jake Mercer: Harper Lee places Sienna Jade’s face up against the middle turnbuckles, before she stumbles back! Harper Lee is breathing heavily, obviously out of frustration, as she looks down upon her opponent, looking to end this match once and for all! Harper Lee grabs Sienna Jade by the wrists, and pulls her back onto her boot! This is all over, as Harper Lee looks to drive Sienna Jade’s skull into the turnbuckles! Harper Lee has this match won right now, as she pushes forward… TO CONNECT WITH THE ‘ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS’ ARM TRAPPED CURB STOMP INTO THE CORNER!
Stew-O: SIENNA PULLS HER ARMS! HARPER GOES FACE-FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! BUT SIENNA MAY HAVE DONE MORE DAMAGE TO HER SHOULDER IN THE MEANTIME! SIENNA CRAWLS AWAY FROM HARPER, AS HARPER SEEMS TO BE UNSCONSCIOUS, AS SHE USES THE ROPES TO PULL HERSELF UP TO HER FEET! HARPER LEE CAME SO CLOSE, BUT NOT CLOSE ENOUGH!
(Sienna Jade pulls herself up into a standing base, as she holds onto her shoulder…)
Jake Mercer: Sienna is showing a sign of weakness- AND HARPER IS QUICK TO CAPITALIZE! SHE GRABS ONTO HER ARM, AND LOOKS TO DO SOME MORE DAMAGE, HOWEVER, SIENNA SPINS AROUND AND KICKS HARPER IN THE GUT! SIENNA DRAGS HARPER AWAY FROM THE ROPES… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE ‘RDG’ BRIDGING FISHERMAN SUPLEX!!! IT’S OVER! NEW CHAMP!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
…
Stew-O: KICK OUT BY THE CHAMP! WE CAME SO CLOSE TO SEEING THE END, BUT NOT CLOSE ENOUGH! SIENNA JADE LOOKS SO TIRED, AS HARPER LEE IS BARELY CONSCIOUS! THESE TWO WILL NOT LET THE OTHER GAIN THE UPPER HAND, NOT AT ALL, THIS HAS BEEN SUCH A BACK AND FORTH MATCH BUT ONLY ONE OF THEM CAN WIN, HOWEVER, I’M NOT SURE IF ANY OF THEM WILL!
Flannery McCoy: The two of these fighting so hard just for a draw certainly would be something, but I would NOT be surprised if it happens! They’re pulling out all the stops, pulling out every move they can possibly think of, but even then it’s not giving them the win! Harper Lee’s resilience is showing that right now, as she refuses to let go of the Universal Women’s Championship – but even then, we can say the same for Sienna! She’s fighting through a hurt shoulder, and is still fighting like she’s at 100%! Harper did some damage, but you can only tell when she looks to recover it!
Jake Mercer: Oh, absolutely! These two are on a whole other level, but sometime soon, it’ll have to come to an end. There’s absolutely no way it doesn’t. These two could logically go on for hours, but after this brutal show of heart and soul? We’re clearly nearing an end, and that end could quite possibly crown a new Champion! Though, we could also see Harper walk out with her title, that’s how close this match is going to be! There’s only one way to find out, though, as Harper and Sienna crawl to their feet!
(Harper Lee and Sienna Jade crawl to a kneeling position, before they continue to trade rather weak jabs. Neither of them put any power into it, they’re just swinging and hitting, but given how much they’ve been worn down, it obviously hurts one another. Harper Lee lands a swift forearm to the head, before Sienna slumps down into Harper’s knee. Harper grabs her by the ears, as she starts to stand up with her in her hands, undoubtedly looking to finish the match here and now.)
Stew-O: Harper Lee has Sienna Jade in her arms, as she continues to rain down forearms into her head! Over, and over, and over again; there’s no doubt that we’re going to see the end soon! Sienna Jade is barely conscious, and as Harper lets go, Sienna falls forward; she’d have fallen over if it weren’t for Harper’s chest keeping her up! All of her weight has fallen onto her opponent, as both women have jelly arms and jelly legs, using so much energy just to stay STANDING! However, Harper Lee is the one in control, and she is going to end this match soon enough! Once and for all, Harper looks to put the final nail into the coffin!
Flannery McCoy: Harper Lee grabs onto Sienna’s injured arm, by the wrist, as she twists underneath it, in order to be facing the same direction as she is! Harper’s next course of action is hooking their legs together… BEFORE SHE PLACES HER OTHER ON SIENNA’S SHOULDER BRIDGE, THAT’S IT, THE ‘FOLDABODY’ IS ABOUT TO BE APPLIED! ALL SHE NEEDS TO DO IS FALL BACKWARDS WITH SIENNA, AND THE MODIFIED GROUNDED OCTOPUS STRETCH WILL BE APPLIED, WHICH WILL GIVE HARPER ENOU GH LEVERAGE TO RIP SIENNA JADE’S SHOULDER RIGHT OUT OF IT’S SOCKET! IT’S OVER!
Jake Mercer: BUT SIENNA JADE IS ACTIVELY **REFUSING** TO FALL DOWN! NO MATTER WHAT HARPER DOES, SIENNA IS TRYING TO STAY ON HER FEET, HAVING PLANTED HER HIPS ONCE MORE! HARPER IS TRYING SO HARD TO PULL SIENNA JADE DOWN TO THE GROUND, BUT IT JUST ISN’T WORKING! HARPER CAN’T KEEP IT UP FOREVER, AND THUS SHE LOOKS TO CHANGE THE MOVE! SHE SLIPS OFF OF SIENNA’S SHOULDER, BEFORE LOOKING TO APPLY HER IN THE FULL NELSON SLEEPER – CONNECTING WITH “NECRO MAULER”, A SUBMISSION RIGHT OUT OF HER FORMER PARTNER’S PLAYBOOK! AND HARPER LEE APPLIES IT NEAR PERFECTLY RIGHT HERE-
Stew-O: BUT LOOK! SIENNA JADE QUICKLY SLIPS OUT OF IT, BEFORE TURNING HARPER LEE AROUND AND PLACING HER IN THE FULL NELSON HERSELF! BUT SHE’S NOT GOING FOR THE SUBMISSION, AS SHE PLANTS HARPER LEE WITH A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX, NECK FIRST ONCE MORE INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING! HARPER LEE IS FACE-DOWN INTO THE MAT!, AND SIENNA JADE HAS GAINED THE UPPER HAND ONCE MORE!
(Sienna Jade rolls back to her feet, before walking over to the turnbuckle that almost saw the end of the match. She faces away from Harper, before scaling the ropes.)
Flannery McCoy: SIENNA JADE IS LOOKING TO GO UP TOP, HIGH RISK, HIGH REWARD, ESPECIALLY IN A MATCH LIKE THIS! I’M NOT SURE HARPER EVEN KNOWS WHAT’S GOING TO HIT HER, THOUGH, AS SHE CANNOT SEE WHAT’S COMING! SIENNA JADE CLIMBS ONE ROPE AT A TIME, USING THE LAST OF HER ENERGY TO SCALE THE TURNBUCKLES, UNTIL SHE EVENTUALLY FINDS HERSELF AT THE PEAK OF THE NORTH-WEST CORNER! SIENNA JADE POSITIONS HERSELF HIGH ABOVE THE RIGHT, AS SHE STANDS UP STRAIGHT, LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A HUGE DIVING MOVE ONTO HARPER LEE! THIS IS IT, SIENNA JADE LEAPS AND HITS THE ‘STARSTRUCK’ DIVING MOONSAULT-
…
…
…
Stew-O: IT CONNECTS!
Jake Mercer: SIENNA JADE LANDS THE MOONSAULT, RIGHT ONTO HARPER LEE’S BACK, BEFORE SHE TRANSISTIONS STRAIGHT INTO THE ‘TEMPTRESS’ DOUBLE UNDERHOOK CROSSFACE ALMOST INSTANTLY! HER SIGNATURE DIVING MOONSAULT TOOK ALL THE WIND OUT OF HARPER, AND NOW SIENNA IS LOOKING TO SUBMIT THE CHAMPION JUST AS SHE DID EARLIER IN THE MATCH, HOOKING HER LEFT ARM BETWEEN HER LEGS, AND HOOKING HER RIGHT ARM OVER SIENNA’S SHOULDER! SIENNA IS WRENCHING BACK, THIS COULD BE THE END OF HARPER LEE’S TITLE RUN, BECAUSE SHE HAS NOWHERE TO GO! BEATEN DOWN, BRUISED, IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, AS THE LAST OF HER ENERGY IS BEING RIPPED AWAY!
Flannery McCoy: SIENNA JADE IS PUTTING EVERYTHING INTO THAT ‘TEMPTRESS’ DOUBLE UNDERHOOK CROSSFACE, VISIBLY AND AUDIBLY SCREAMING AS ABSOLUTELY ALL OF HER ENERGY GOES INTO IT! HARPER LEE HAS SO MUCH PAIN ON HER FACE RIGHT NOW, AS SHE KICKS HER LEGS OVER AND OVER, JUST TRYING TO REACH THE BOTTOM ROPE! SHE’S TRYING TO DRAG HER BODY OVER, ALONGSIDE SIENNA JADE’S BODY WEIGHT, AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE’S ABOUT TO SUCCEED! IT LOOKS LIKE SHE’S GOING TO REACH THE ROPES, AS SHE INCHES CLOSER, AND CLOSER, AS THE SECONDS TICK BY!
Stew-O: THIS SERIOUSLY COULD BE THE END OF THE MATCH RIGHT HERE, OR SO I THOUGHT! HARPER LEE IS DRAGGING HERSELF OVER, REACHING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE BOTTOM ROPE! ALL SHE NEEDS IS A SINGLE TOE ON THAT BOTTOM ROPE, AND SHE ESCAPES THE SUBMISSION! ALL SHE NEEDS IS ONE ROPE BREAK, AND THE MATCH CONTINUES! IT’S EASIER SAID THAN DONE, BUT IT’S ALL SHE NEEDS, AND SHE’S GOING TO REACH IT! HARPER LEE KICKS HER FOOT, AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE’S GOING TO BREAK THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK CROSSFACE, AS SHE GETS THE ROPE BREAK!
…
…
…
Flannery McCoy: NO! SIENNA JADE STANDS UP, BEFORE DRAGGING HARPER AWAY! SHE MOUNTS HARPER’S BACK, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH HUGE FOREARM STRIKES TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! FIVE WHOLE FOREARMS TO THE REAR OF HARPER’S SKULL, AND HARPER FALLS FLAT! SIENNA SLIPS RIGHT BACK INTO THE ‘TEMPTRESS’ ONCE MORE, APPLYING THE SUBMISSION HOLD THAT COULD WIN HER THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP! SHE WRENCHES BACK, SO MUCH THAT SHE ROLLS ONTO HER OWN BACK, HARPER’S STOMACH FACING UP, AS SIENNA PULLS ON HER NECK…
Jake Mercer: AND HARPER LEE IS UNCONSCIOUS! THE REFEREE CALLS FOR THE BELL!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, AND NEWWWWWWWWWWW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION… SIENNAAAAAAAA JAAAAAAAAAAADEEEEEEEEEE!!
(‘Unf**kwithable’ by Deez Nuts then plays through the speakers, as the entire EAW Audience erupts. Sienna Jade’s energy leaves her body, as her submission immediately comes to a stop, and she falls face-first into the mat. The referee kneels down to check on Harper Lee’s health, before eventually leaving the ring to grab the Championship. He enters the ring, and helps Sienna Jade up to her feet, before handing it straight to her.)
Stew-O: OH MY! WHAT HAVE WE JUST WITNESSED? SIENNA JADE IS OUR NEW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION, AFTER GIVING IT THE FIGHT OF HER LIFE!
Flannery McCoy: This crowd has ERUPTED right now, as we have just witnessed the end of Harper Lee’s World Championship run, and the birth of Sienna Jade’s! This crowd has absolutely come unglued after that thirty minute classic, one of the most hard hitting, yet soulful title defenses I have ever seen! Sienna Jade just picked up what could possibly be the biggest victory of her career, and it’s hard to deny that she deserves it!
Jake Mercer: Harper Lee’s reign was absolutely fantastic, but in the end, she couldn’t withstand those forearm strikes and the ‘Temptress’ Double Underhook Crossface, and she came up short! Sienna Jade has yet another World Championship to her list of accolades, and she did so at Harper’s expense, just as she said she would! I’m sure Sienna Jade is absolutely elated, and congratulations to her!
(Sienna Jade would raise her championship high into the air, as pyro shoots off behind her. Her theme song would continue to blare through the speakers while the referee tends to Harper, informing her of what just happened. The camera fades elsewhere.)
(Slowly, we begin to return from commercial break, as the darkness following it begins to fade out, and the red lights of the FedEx Forum, repping the Dynasty brand colors. The camera pans across the LED ribbon high up in the rafters, as it focuses on as much of the arena as you can possibly fit into a wide shot, giving the crowd some time to look up from their phones, and return to the show much like the show itself has. Eventually, as the camera continues panning, it transitions over to a hand-held camera on the ramp, pointing up at the entrance stage. Moments later, ‘Good For Her’ by MOTHICA begins to blare through the speaker system, as the entire crowd in Memphis Tennessee becomes unglued for the EAW Hall of Famer. “The Serpent” is read on the titantron, with graphics that are mostly black and white, however, along with it comes a tinge of green. Cameron Ella Ava’s name soon follows, as seconds later, Cam steps out through the curtains, her arms extended to her side, as the crowd grows even louder. Cameron makes her way to the top of the ramp, and twirls her hips, before she eventually begins to make her way down to the ring.)
Stew-O: Well, ladies and gentlemen, for what could possibly be the last time in a long time, and what is absolutely going to be the last time this season, Cameron Ella Ava is making her way down the ramp on a Friday Night Dynasty show! Cameron is someone who joined this roster half way through the season, however despite that, she has made an impact like no other. Started off the season alongside Milli Banks to face the Queen Bees, she eventually transitioned into facing the likes of Limmy Monaghan for the EAW World Heavyweight Championship, the Empress of Elite Serenity Valdez at Grand Rampage, and at Pain For Pride, she will go head-to-head with 2023 Hall of Fame inductee Sienna Jade; what a season it has been for Cameron.
Flannery McCoy: No doubt. However, you could argue that to end this season on fire, it’s going to be extremely tough, if not the toughest challenge of the season. Beating Sienna Jade at Pain For Pride will be no easy task, especially with how heated this feud has been ever since that very first brawl just a few months ago. It has got to bad that this is partially the reason that Sienna Jade and Kassidy Heart had to pull out of their Unified Tag Team Championship match. This is definitely going to be a tough match for Cameron Ella Ava, yet one that is absolutely without a doubt deserving of the Pain For Pride stage. Tonight, Cameron looks to give the last word before the Pain For Pride week, and I have no doubt that she has some valuable information to share tonight.
(Cameron Ella Ava walks up the steps before swiftly entering the ring, as she heads to the corner and grabs a microphone. Her theme song fades out, as she slowly paces the ring, waiting for the crowd reactions to die down, without a smile on her face. Eventually, as she heads to the center of the ring, she would begin to speak into the mic.)
Cameron Ella Ava: To be honest, I am *not* happy in the slightest. You know, this whole situation with Sienna Jade, it really has pissed me off. It all began with a literal accident, and Sienna took things too far because of it. I’m not sure if her ego couldn’t take it, I’m not sure if she’s just so sensitive that a single accidental strike will drive her to extreme lengths, but what I do know is, the lengths she has driven it to have not made me happy, and by proxy, it was the biggest mistake she could have ever made. Sienna has been nothing but a thorn in my side, and has tried to victimize me in this whole scenario, but I have had enough of it. This whole thing has been unnecessary. This whole thing has been utterly stupid. To be honest, it’s partially my fault, not for the reasons that Sienna would like to believe though; I’m at fault because I knew the type of person that Sienna is and all of this could have been avoided, yet I chose to believe it could possibly work. In the end, she ended up being worse for me than the Queen Bees were, and that was my initial problem.
Cameron Ella Ava: Due to that fact, I can’t fully say that this match is worthless, because while I believe that my talents are better suited elsewhere, I cannot help but want to absolutely *pummel* and *maim* Sienna Jade. Last week, she said to my face, directly, numerous comments that I believe to be vile. Such as mentioning the idea – not even something that happened, mind you – of my husband making racist remarks, just to get under my skin, mentioning my family, and really, the type of woman that Sienna is? I have to beat the living s*** out of her on the grandest stage of them all. (The crowd would ‘ooh.’) Sienna hasn’t just mentioned my family, but she even attacked Dr. Bethany Blue’s father, so it’s clear that she has no issue showing the world that she is a terrible human being just to get under people’s skin. And to be honest, I let it happen. I allowed her to. It’s going to be the worst mistake she’s ever made, because above all else, not just a pissed off Cameron Ella Ava, but a pissed off ‘Serpent’ is a deadly combo. Besides, you can’t go ahead and slander the kween like she did :mjgrin:. She is right though. I did mention Impact’s name. And I’ll do it again. I won’t exactly go to the level of lows that she did, instead, I’ll just spit truth by saying that the Avas are going to rip Sienna and Karl a new one. 💅
(The crowd would cheer.)
Cameron Ella Ava: Sienna is vile, Sienna knows no limits, but neither do I, and at Pain For Pride, I’m going to do what I must in order to take out the trash and get rid of her once and for all. This may be a situation where I believe I deserve better, however, I am not opposed to absolutely destroying that woman and giving her the embarrassment that she has been waiting for this entire time, an embarrassment that she has earned, an embarrassment that-
(However, before Cameron is truly able to finish her sentence, ‘Unf**kwithable’ by Deez Nuts begins to blare through the speaker system, and immediately the crowd would transition into a huge amount of boos. Cameron immediately freezes her speech, as she slowly closes her mouth, and tilts her head over to the stage, practically frozen in anger. Sienna Jade would make her way out onto the stage, as she looks down towards Cameron, with a ticked off, tired, bored expression on her face. She slowly begins to walk down the ramp, as she shakes her head. Sienna walks up the steel steps, before entering the ring, a microphone already in hand…)
Sienna Jade: Oh my God, please shut UP. 🙄
(The crowd immediately boos.)
Sienna Jade: I want to get this off my chest right away; I do NOT care what you think about me. I do NOT care how you perceive me. I do NOT care that you’ve somehow managed to convince everyone here that you’re the victim, because to be completely honest, you are NOT the type of woman that should be allowed to judge ANYONE. See, Cam, I see right through you, not that you exactly make it hard to do so, you promote yourself as the exact thing you are; a snake. Couldn’t even be happy for your friend, tried to take their title. Couldn’t even work with me, allowed yourself to slip up and cost me. You are the least honest woman I have ever known, and at least when I decide to be a P.O.S, I don’t lie about it nor hide it. You? You’re a terrible person. You bill yourself as a snake, and you live up to it. However, one thing I need you to know. You may think this all started because I refused your help, but quite frankly, it all started with you. I refused your help BECAUSE of you. You’re insufferable. Every Ava is insufferable. You actively bring me down, and I’m better without you, because of the person you are.
Sienna Jade: You don’t like me? Ditto. You don’t like the way I operate? Ditto. If I’m a c*** to you, I don’t care, because the fact of the matter is, the same can be said about you, I’m just honest, you WANT to be a victim. That’ll always be what seperates me from you.
(The crowd boos, as Cameron shakes her head.)
Cameron Ella Ava: That’s how you want it to be, then fine. I’ll play along. At Pain For Pride, I will end you, and this little myth of yours, and finally rid this place of your stupid, deluded rants that NOBODY cares to listen, besides Imp, because I’m sure how “good” he is as just as deluded, and he loves it.
(The crowd would immediately ‘ooh’ once more, as Sienna, takes a deep breath and sighs.)
Sienna Jade: Right. Well, you and your husband can stay on your “I love this racist artist!” era, and continue to make the most disappointing family in wrestling history, because I’m sure Karl and I, and even Ryan and Kass, will all be remembered more than people online with revisionist history.
(The crowd would ‘ooh’ just as loudly, as this continues to heat up. Sienna and Cameron both drop their mics, as they begin to get closer…)
Stew-O: Cameron Ella Ava and Sienna Jade clearly do not like each other, and I doubt Cam will take that on the chin…
Flannery McCoy: Neither do I… AND IT’S CLEAR THAT WE’RE RIGHT, AS CAMERON WINDS UP A RIGHT HOOK-
(And then the crowd immediately boos. Before Cameron can swing, Sienna turns around and slides out of the ring. She begins to back up, as Cameron quickly jets towards the ropes. Leaning on them, she watches Sienna back up the ramp, the two staring down…)
Stew-O: They ALMOST came to blows once more, however, this time; we’ll have to wait til Pain For Pride!
(Sienna and Cameron stare one another down, as the camera pans back and forth between them. Eventually, Dynasty would fade elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for Pain For Pride featuring Cameron Ella Ava and Sienna Jade.)
(Dynasty fades elsewhere as the scene pans to a mysteriously dark-lit room. There is a television screen almost like one of those monitors that Elitists would see around the guerrilla area. It begins to play some key moments in the whole saga of Madison Kaline and ARIA. From their heated confrontation at Fighting Spirit to Madison blindsiding ARIA after playing with her emotions to Voltage, where ARIA attacks Madison, after having enough with her ‘mind games.’ With each moment, Madison begins to claw away at her seat. Her perfectly manicured nails are scratching the arms of the chair, but her facial expressions remain stoic. The screen pauses.)
Madison Kaline: I don’t know if you can sense it, but I’m not happy. For weeks, I have been played as the villain of this story. I have been seen as the jaded, bitter veteran of this company due to my actions with sweet, ole ARIA. In reality, I’m really the victim here. I am nothing more than someone who has been terribly misunderstood in this whole thing. It’s *ARIA*, who has made this personal between the two of us. It’s *ARIA*, who has decided to rub her status as the nice, shiny toy to me. “Oh, look at me. I’m younger, fresher-face and haven’t been used and abused by this company yet!” Yet. But, she will with time. I’ve seen it happen to the men and women in this company. Then, there will come a day where they will be tossed to the side by another shiny new toy. Wash, rinse, repeat. I’ve seen it happen to dozens of ARIA’s during the course of my professional wrestling career. While the arrival of shinier, new toys is inevitable, I figured that I had some wisdom to spread around this company. We hear the talk about the likes of Cameron Ella Ava, Kendra Shamez and Cleopatra, who have graced their presence into this company and then, there’s me. There’s not much talk about my Hall of Fame status, my accomplishments and higharchqery. It’s almost like my longevity has remained forgotten in the eyes of the Elitists backstage. But, these past couple of months, I figured that was no longer going to be an issue. I was going to do the right thing and give these women of tomorrow veteran’s advice where I felt like it was appropriate to do so.
Madison Kaline: That’s why I approached ARIA at Fighting Spirit, I looked at ARIA and I saw her making the same mistakes of a fresh-faced ‘Maddie’ made back in the day. I saw that ARIA was taking the Universal Women’s Championship against Dr. Bethany Blue for granted. I saw that she wasn’t preparing herself for it and I let her hear it. There would have been many women who would have LOVED an opportunity at the Universal Women’s Championship, especially after a Specialists Championship reign. *I* would have killed for that opportunity.* I* would have been doing what I am doing right now and that’s preparing for the match. *I* would have looked through the tables. *I* would have been going through strategy in my head. *I* would have done all of these things until that Universal Women’s Championship was *mine.* I proved that this routine could be effective. I mean, that’s why I locked in your submission move on Jamie Cross a month ago. It was as simple as looking back at Jamie’s videos, exploiting her vulnerabilities and seeing where I could attack. I placed myself in your hideous shoes, knowing that I did all of that and of course, I won the match. I was confident that I would. Yet, it seemed like it didn’t process in your mind. Instead, you tried to little league me?
(Madison Kaline breathes out a chuckle and shakes her head.)
Madison Kaline: “Hey, Madison, if I can do it, you can too!” [Censored] you. Giving you that false hope of me turning a new leaf made me sick to my stomach. I was surprised that I managed to continue it for as long as I did without cracking a smile. I swear, that right there, deserves an Oscar because do you know who I am, ARIA? Do you know what I am all about? Do you know about the women that I’ve taken out throughout my career? From your Tarah Novas to your Stephanie Matsudas at their so-called “peaks”, I have made myself a force to be reckoned with. I have made myself into an unstoppable threat and it won’t be long until every single person who has ignored me, overlooked everything I have done start kissing my [censored] and groveling the ground I walk on. I didn’t go into that confrontation with needing you, out of all people, to take pity on me and give me a cute little motivational speech that I’ve heard better from on TikTok. When it concerned you, I just needed to show you that I’ve always been ‘The Mistress of Death’ and that I was out to reap whatever souls I please. Yours is what I am after, ARIA and I plan to collect at Pain for Pride.
Madison Kaline: But, I got a confession – I really haven’t taken you seriously, ARIA. For weeks, you have been nothing more than a toy. You have been nothing more than to exploit the emotions of. You have such a good soul and I was still that little girl, ‘Maddie,’ I think that you would have been good friends. Who knows? Maybe, she could have been an Ice Ace. But, I am so glad that I’m not that pathetic little girl. I am so glad that I don’t need to go beneath my capabilities of dragging two women into relevance. Well, it would be three, if I was counting you. But, alas, I was really toying you around, invoking a response out of you. That’s exactly what our tag team match on Voltage was for me. It was nothing more than the time and place for me to see what causes you to snap. What makes you angry? What makes you want to punch me across the face? That and it’s always fun to push around Usagi Senshi and Ayu Megumi. It’s one week until Pain for Pride, the time for playing games is over and I need to take my gloves off because this next idea of work is really going to involve me getting down to business. So, ARIA, listen to this thing and listen to it, *clearly.*
Madison Kaline: I am going to Voltage and letting you know that you picked the wrong person to fight at Pain for Pride. You had an array of opponents. There are multiple directions that you could have gone. Maybe, you could have joined your buddies in the 24/7 Battle Royal. Maybe, you could have gotten the rematch for the Specialists Champions. Anything that doesn’t involve me would have been better for you. At Pain for Pride, it will be my pleasure to take down another one of these shiny new toys and when it’s all said and done, ARIA, you will be so humiliated, you will hopefully never show your face in EAW again.
(The entire room goes silent as Madison Kaline looks deep into the camera and into ARIA’s soul from wherever she is.)
Madison Kaline: All thanks to yours truly.
(Madison Kaline sits back on her chair, almost relaxed as she forms a smirk on her face. That, right there, is the last shot before the scene goes elsewhere.)
[SCREENBAR: PJ Hendrx vs Amir Yusuf – Interwire Championship – Dynasty 3/3/2023]
(‘DNA’ by Kendrick Lamar begins to blast through the speakers as PJ Hendrx walks out, looking confident and full of charm. He makes his way down the ramp, feeling hyped and more than ready for this match up.)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!
Stephie Love: AND, IT’S FOR THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP! INTRODUCING FIRST…THE CHALLENGER…FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA…WEIGHING IN 195 POUNDS… HE IS ‘PHANTOM’….PJ HENDRX!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: PJ Hendrx is the first title defense of the early reign of Amir Yusuf. PJ, still, has gotten himself a pretty good tenure on the Dynasty brand. Extreme Elimination Chamber, King of Elite semi-finals and now, an Interwire Championship match. I don’t think that many people expected for PJ to go the extra mile in these matches, but this man from Charlotte, North Carolina is the real deal and someone that we ought to keep an eye on going into 2023.
Flannery McCoy: He’s brash and cocky, but these fans have been eating him up for some reason. It also helps that he’s quite talented inside the wrestling ring. While he is a high flyer by heart, he has ring smarts as well, so I think that he’ll be ready for the challenge that Amir Yusuf throws at him.
Jake Mercer: PJ Hendrx claims that he could be a better Interwire Champion than Amir Yusuf, but I suppose, we’re going to see if he can put his money where his month is tonight?
(‘A Stranger I Remain’ by Free Dominguez begins to blast through the speakers as Amir Yusuf walks out with the Interwire Championship wrapped around his waist. He unhooks the title from his waist and raises the title up in the air as he trash talks to PJ Hendrx on his way to the ring.)
Stephie Love: AND INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT…FROM CHICAGO, ILLINOIS…WEIGHING IN 182 POUNDS…HE IS THE CURRENT EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION… ‘THE IRREPLACABLE’…AMIR YUSUF!!!!!
Stew-O: Will Amir Yusuf prove to be ‘irreplaceable’ tonight or will PJ Hendrx replace him as the new Interwire Champion?
Flannery McCoy: I see the pun there, Stew. This is Amir Yusuf’s title defense. He is walking in with no the best momentum on his side, so that’s that chip on his shoulder that he is going to need to remove by defeating PJ Hendrx tonight. Since winning the title at King of Elite, things have not looked good for him, so I don’t blame anyone for not wanting to bet on him. At the same time, this man defeated a strong Interwire Champion in Joso. When Amir gets to that mindset, there’s no telling what he can get done.
Jake Mercer: The more that we talk about this match, the more intriguing that it becomes to me. So, let’s get things going! Amir Yusuf. PJ Hendrx. Interwire Championship on the line. Who will walk out of Kansas City as the Interwire Champion?
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The Interwire Championship is on the line! Amir Yusuf, the champion himself, defends the title against PJ Hendrx! The two Elitists meet up in the middle of the ring, staring each other down! The two of them get some of their trash-talking in, but Amir shoves the side of PJ’s face as that takes him back!
Amir Yusuf: (off-mic) Come on, time to show everyone what’s up, PJ!
Flannery McCoy: Amir said that in such a condescending way. Now, Amir Yusuf uses his hands to shove PJ Hendrx in the chest, pushing him further and it seems like PJ did not like that one bit as he shoves Amir back! Amir slaps PJ across the face as that causes the challenger to stumble to his side! BUT, PJ THROWS A FOREARM TO THE FACE OF AMIR! AMIR THROWS A FOREARM TO PJ! THE TWO MEN BEGIN TO TRADE PUNCHES WITH ONE ANOTHER BEFORE AMIR KICKS PJ IN THE RIBS BEFORE GETTING A GOOD GRASP OF HIS ARM! HE THROWS PJ INTO THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES AS PJ REBOUNDS OFF OF THEM! Amir hooks PJ in the arm for a hip toss, but PJ counters with an armdrag, sending Amir across from him! Amir manages to slide into a kneeling position as PJ runs after the Interwire Champion, taking him back with a knee strike! No, Amir manages to duck the knee strike before rolling up PJ!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: No! PJ Hendrx manages to roll up to his feet! Amir Yusuf looks to get back to his feet, but PJ connects with a roundhouse kick that takes Amir back to his knees! PJ takes a step back before swinging that same leg with full force! He connects with a couple of shoot kicks before spinning himself around and going for another roundhouse! Amir ducks the roundhouse as he manages to scoop up PJ and throw him back with an exploder suplex, but PJ is more than quick to pick himself into a kneeling position as Amir turns himself around! PJ charges right after the Interwire Champion with a superkick, but Amir ducks the superkick! PJ manages to stumble forward for the time being before regaining his balance as Amir gets his hands on PJ’s shoulders, connecting with a backstabber! But, PJ manages to stand himself still! Meanwhile, Amir drops down, but manages to roll back! PJ turns around as Amir charges after the challenger with a forearm to the face–
Stew-O: But, PJ Hendrx ducks the punch and glides behind ‘The Irreplacable,’ wrapping his arms around the waist of Amir Yusuf, but Amir begins to throw an elbow to the face of the ‘Phantom!’ Amir creates a bit of distance as he runs towards the horizontal set of ropes, rebounds off of them and connects with a hurricanrana as that sends PJ draped on the vertical set of ropes! AMIR SEES THAT PJ IS DRAPED ON THE SECOND ROW OF ROPES BEFORE HE RUNS AND JUMPS ON THE SPINE ON THE CHALLENGER! AMIR IS PULLING ON THE TOP ROPE, WHICH APPLIES PRESSURE ONTO PJ’S SPINE AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE REFEREE IS GOING TO BEGIN HIS COUNT HERE!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET OFF OF HIM, AMIR!
Flannery McCoy: AMIR YUSUF JUMPS OFF THE SPINE OF PJ HENDRX, BUT THEN, HE GRABS ONTO THE NECK OF PJ, CHOKING HIM WITH THE SECOND ROPE AND THE REFEREE BEGINS ANOTHER COUNT!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! LET GO, AMIR!
Jake Mercer: Amir Yusuf just smacked upside the head of PJ Hendrx! He slowly begins to back away from his challenger as PJ turns himself around and rests himself against the ropes! He is clutching onto his neck! BUT, AMIR RUSHES PAST THE REFEREE AND PLACES HIS BOOT AGAINST THE NECK OF PJ! THE REFEREE IS GOING TO START ANOTHER COUNT!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET YOUR FOOT OFF OF HIS NECK, AMIR!
Stew-O: It seems like Amir Yusuf is finally going to stay there and allow for an opportunity for PJ Hendrx to get back on his feet! Slowly, PJ is rising up to his feet, but it seems like Amir can’t handle waiting for much longer! He assists PJ up to his feet before slightly pushing his chest back against the ropes and…AMIR CONNECTS WITH A PALM STRIKE! AMIR CONNECTS WITH A PALM STRIKE TO THE CHEST OF PJ! PJ IS SHAKING AT THE MOMENT AS AMIR CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER PALM STRIKE TO THE CHEST OF PJ! This time, this causes the challenger to stumble forward, but I bet that he feels that his chest is on fire! BUT, AMIR GRABS PJ AND PUSHES HIM BACK AGAINST THOSE ROPES AND CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER PALM STRIKE TO PJ’S CHEST! AND ANOTHER ONE! AND ANOTHER ONE! AND ANOTHER ONE! AND ANOTHER ONE! PJ FALLS TO ONE OF HIS KNEES, FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THE PALM STRIKES! Amir hooks both of the arms of PJ before lifting him up and connecting with a double underhook suplex! PJ is clutching his lower spine as he finds his way up to his feet! Amir connects with a superkick as that sends PJ falling back once again! This time, PJ finds himself falling back to one of the corners!
Flannery McCoy: Amir Yusuf runs towards PJ Hendrx, nailing a dropkick as that sends him back to the ropes again! Now, Amir begins to stomp on the challenger! He delivers some brutal mudhole stomps as the referee is forcing Amir back! Amir is arguing with the referee as that seems to buy PJ a bit of time to get to his feet! After Amir is done with the referee, he goes back to PJ, who is struggling to get himself back to his feet! He goes to help PJ up to his feet, BUT PJ TURNS AMIR AROUND BEFORE UNLOADING ON A SERIES OF PUNCHES ON THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION! HE CAUGHT AMIR OFF GUARD WITH THIS SPRING OF ENERGY! HE IS THROWING PUNCHES TO THE TOP OF AMIR’S HEAD! THIS IS CAUSING THE CHAMPION TO COLLAPSE TO THE GROUND, BUT PJ IS NOT DONE HERE! HE BEGINS TO STOMP ON AMIR, GOING CRAZY WITH THE STOMPS! But before the referee can step in, PJ manages to stop as he’s feeling quite pumped up at the moment! He charges right after Amir, taking him down with a facewash as that move causes Amir’s head to go back!
Jake Mercer: PJ HENDRX PULLS AMIR YUSUF BY ONE OF HIS LEGS BEFORE DELIVERING A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE RIBS OF THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION! PJ NOW HOOKS AMIR FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWW–
Stew-O: A kick out by Amir Yusuf! PJ Hendrx begins to apply a front headlock on the champion as both of them slowly rise to their feet, BUT AMIR SHOVES PJ AWAY! AMIR GOES RIGHT AFTER PJ WITH A FOREARM, BUT PJ GLIDES RIGHT BEHIND AMIR, WRAPPING HIS ARMS AROUND THE WAIST AND THROWING HIM BACK FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX! BUT, AMIR MANAGES TO LAND ON HIS FEET! PJ TURNS HIMSELF AROUND AS HE RISES TO HIS FEET, BUT AMIR GOES RIGHT AFTER HIM, CONNECTING WITH A STANDING SPANISH FLY, BUT NO! PJ MANAGES TO TRAP THE FOOT OF THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION! IT SEEMS LIKE PJ HAD OTHER THINGS IN HIS MIND AS HE CONNECTS WITH A LEG HOOK GUTWRENCH SUPLEX ON AMIR! Amir finds himself in a seated position as PJ finds himself up before running after Amir, delivering a loud penalty kick to the spine of the champion! PJ takes another step back before delivering another penalty kick! Amir’s spine arches in response to the sharp penalty kick! PJ manages to stand up Amir straight before connecting with another penalty kick! You can see the pain on the look on the face of the champion!
Flannery McCoy: AND, PJ HENDRX SLAPS THE BACK OF AMIR YUSUF’S HEAD, GETTING HIM BACK FROM WHAT AMIR DID A LITTLE BIT EARLIER IN THE MATCH! PJ IS NOW TELLING AMIR TO GET HIS – THE VULGAR WORD FOR BEHIND – UP! The production team has been doing a great job with having their button on the finger when it comes to blocking out any profanity that can slip out in these types of matches! Amir clearly doesn’t look to be amused as he gets himself to his feet, but PJ runs after the Interwire Champion, connecting with a dropkick as that sends Amir back towards the horizontal set of ropes! Amir is clutching onto the middle rope as PJ charges right after Amir with a knee strike, but Amir manages to shove PJ’s knee away from him! PJ goes for another attempt on the knee strike, but Amir manages to move out of the way! PJ manages to jump onto the middle set of ropes, springboard himself off of it and take Amir down with a springboard roundhouse kick! The champion is taken down to his side! He is gesturing for Amir to get back up! At the first sign of Amir getting up, PJ rushes towards him as he connects with a tilt-a-whirl, but manages to use his legs and arms to hook Amir’s arms and take him down with a crucifix pin attempt!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Amir Yusuf gets himself out of the hold! But, PJ Hendrx has Amir by one of his legs! It seems like he may be trying to look for the ‘Phantom’s Lost Cry’ – the kneeling inverted sharpshooter! BUT, AMIR IS USING HIS OTHER FOOT TO HOP, TRYING TO GET TO THE NEAREST SET OF ROPES, WHICH ARE ACROSS FROM HIM! BUT, I THINK THAT PJ MAY BE LOOKING TO GO FOR AN ANKLE LOCK! BUT, AMIR MANAGES TO ROLL HIMSELF THROUGH AND IT SEEMS LIKE HE HAS PJ’S LEFT LEG AND TUGS IT UP, CAUSING THE CHALLENGER TO FALL FACE FIRST! NOW, I THINK THAT AMIR MAY BE COUNTERING WITH AN INVERTED FIGURE FOUR! BUT, PJ MANAGES TO RACE TO THE BOTTOM ROPE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE! He is not giving Amir a chance to lock any submission hold that could weaken him! Amir releases the hold as PJ is checking his face to see if any blood has shown up, but PJ seems to be good!
Stew-O: The champion and challenger get themselves to their feet as Amir Yusuf goes after PJ Hendrix, but PJ throws an elbow to the face of ‘The Irreplacable’ as that sends him back a bit! Amir goes right after PJ, but PJ lifts Amir up and over the top rope! Amir lands on the apron as he grabs PJ by his neck and uses the top rope to slingshot his neck, causing the challenger to fall forward! Now, Amir rolls himself back inside the ring and connects with a chopblock to the right knee of the ‘Phantom!’ PJ collapses to his knees as Amir stands himself tall! He extends his arms open, feeling confident as he is looking down on PJ, who rolls himself onto his back! Amir is looking down at PJ, slapping his face! Amir is trying to get PJ to wake up and get to his feet! Now, throughout this match, we’ve seen Amir treat PJ like he’s not on his level. That PJ is beneath him! Now, PJ is really going to need to dig deep to show to Amir that Amir has been overlooking him and that is not going to end well for Amir!
Flannery McCoy: But, Amir Yusuf is so focused on himself and what he wants to get out of this match! I don’t think that he is expecting anything from PJ Hendrx. So far, PJ has done a fantastic job with finding his openings and taking this match for himself! PJ swings his leg back, delivering a kick to the forehead of the Interwire Champion! THIS CAUSES AMIR TO STAGGER BACK A BIT, BUT HE FINDS HIS BALANCE AS HE GOES TO REACH OVER TO GRAB PJ, BUT PJ USES HIS LEGS TO FLIP AMIR FORWARD AND HE CONNECTS WITH A ROLL UP ON AMIR!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Amir Yusuf rolls himself out of the way, BUT PJ HENDRX MANAGES TO PULL THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION CLOSER TO HIM AND IT SEEMS LIKE PJ IS LOCKING TO LOCK IN A SLEEPERHOLD WITH BODYSCISSORS ON AMIR! OH GOD, AMIR IS SCRAMBLING FOR A WAY OUT OF THIS MOVE AS HE TURNS TO HIS SIDE AND QUICKLY GETS HIS FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE BEFORE PJ HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO CINCH IN THE MOVE. He is forced to release whatever hold that he has on Amir. With the bit of room of separation, Amir finds his way back to his feet as PJ goes right after the champion. PJ connects with a double knee facebuster! This causes Amir to stagger back to the horizontal set of ropes But, PJ follows that up by running and connecting with a jumping reverse sto as that sends Amir back! PJ with another cover!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Amir Yusuf with a kick out! PJ Hendrx gets to his feet as he’s trying to hype himself up! He is stalking the Interwire Champion up to his feet before rebounding off the vertical set of ropes and looking to connect with a high axe kick to the champion, but Amir manages to twist himself out of position! He delivers a kick to PJ’s stomach before pulling the challenger closer to him and springboarding himself off the ropes and around, connecting with a tornado DDT! PJ GOES DOWN! AMIR BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON A SERIES OF PUNCHES OF THE ‘PHANTOM’ AS PJ IS TRYING TO SHIELD HIS FACE FROM THE PUNCHES, BUT AMIR IS NAILING EACH OF THOSE PUNCHES! AMIR FINDS HIS WAY UP TO HIS FEET AS HE TRIES TO PICK UP PJ UP TO HIS FEET, BUT PJ SHOVES HIM TO THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES! AMIR REBOUNDS HIMSELF OFF OF THOSE ROPES, BUT PJ CONNECTS WITH A KITCHEN SINK AS THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION SPINS AROUND LIKE A FREAKING TOP! AMIR IS CLUTCHING ONTO HIS RIBS! HE TURNS AROUND AND TRIES TO GET HIMSELF TO HIS FEET, BUT PJ GOES RIGHT AFTER THE CHAMPION, NAILING HIM WITH A SUPERKICK AS THAT TAKES AMIR DOWN TO ONE KNEE! Still, you can see him clutching onto those ribs! PJ pulls Amir closer to him before draping Amir’s arm over his shoulder and connects with a snap suplex as that sends Amir back! PJ begins to apply a side headlock on the champion, wrenching in that neck of Amir!
Flannery McCoy: Slowly, PJ Hendrx finds himself to one knee, still maintaining control of the side headlock on Amir Yusuf! PJ has a focused look on his face! At this moment, he is just keeping steady, trying to wear down Amir! But, it seems like that’s not going to work out well since Amir is beginning to use those elbows to get himself out of the side headlock of the challenger! Amir is nailing elbow shots to the side of PJ and you can see that PJ’s grasp is slipping away from him! He loses his grasp on Amir as Amir is able to fall back towards the vertical set of ropes, rebound off them and throw a forearm to the side of PJ’s head! THIS ONLY CAUSES PJ TO STAGGER FORWARD A BIT, BUT HE THROWS A FOREARM BACK TO AMIR! AMIR THROWS A FOREARM TO PJ! PJ THROWS A FOREARM TO AMIR! THE TWO MEN BEGIN TO UNLOAD A SERIES OF PUNCHES AT EACH OTHER! YOU CAN SEE THAT PJ IS GETTING THE UPPER HAND ON THAT AS AMIR FINDS HIMSELF BACKED AGAINST THE VERTICAL SET OF ROPES! PJ CONNECTS WITH A GIANT KNEE TO THE GUT OF THE CHAMPION BEFORE FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A BULLDOG!
Jake Mercer: Now, PJ Hendrx finds himself on his feet as Amir Yusuf is getting to his feet shortly after! He takes Amir back down with a side-step enziguri! Amir is down once again as PJ sees that this could be the opening that he needs to win this match and become the NEW Interwire Champion! HE IS GOING FOR THE TOP ROPE! HE IS POSITIONING HIMSELF ON THAT TOP ROPE AS HE’S WAITING FOR AMIR TO TURN HIMSELF AROUND! COULD WE BE SEEING ‘FINAL FLASH’ ON AMIR?
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Amir Yusuf rolls underneath the bottom rope! I think that he may have saved his title reign there! PJ Hendrx was probably seconds away from captalizing on Amir! I thought that was brilliant and wonderful ring awareness from the champion. But, PJ is not wasting any time as he positions his body in direction of Amir at ringside and –
Flannery McCoy: – PJ HENDRX FALLS FROM THE TURNBUCKLE AND LANDS A BEAUTIFUL MOONSAULT ON AMIR YUSUF! PJ LANDS ON HIS FEET, BUT ENDS UP STUMBLING BACK TO THE GROUND! AMIR IS DOWN AS PJ IS FEELING GOOD ABOUT HIMSELF! HE GETS BACK TO HIS FEET AS HE GRABS AMIR FROM THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AND SLAMS HIM FACE FIRST AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE APRON! THIS IS ENOUGH TO CAUSE HIM TO STUMBLE BACK! BUT, PJ MANAGES TO GRAB AMIR IN A SIDE-RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP POSITION BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE MOVE! AMIR’S FACE LANDS ON THE EDGE OF THE APRON ONCE MORE! BUT, SHOCKINGLY ENOUGH, NO SIGN OF BLOOD FROM ANY OF THESE MEN! PJ GETS AMIR BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND GRABS HIM BY THE ARM AND WHIPS HIM TO OUR TABLE –
Jake Mercer: –WOOP! THAT FELT INTENSE THERE AS THAT WAS ENOUGH TO KNOCK DOWN SOME OF OUR STUFF, BUT PJ HENDRX RUNS AFTER AMIR YUSUF, CONNECTING WITH A HUGE BOOT TO THE FACE, BUT AMIR DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY, ALLOWING HIM THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOVE PJ OVER OUR TABLE AND AROUND OUR CHAIRS – OH GOD! WHAT IN THE WORLD??? STEW, FLANN, ARE YOU GUYS OKAY????
(The camera reveals a mess created thanks to Amir Yusuf throwing PJ Hendrx over the announcers’ booth, most specifically, in the Flannery McCoy/Stew-O side of the table, leaving Jake Mercer unharmed. A couple of papers were dropped and scattered around which Stew-O is picking up while Flannery is trying to untangle her headsets from all the other wires.)
Stew-O: That was crazy there, but we need to get a cameraman to the back to see PJ Hendrx laying flat on his back.
(Finally, a cameraman manages to get behind the announcers’ table, revealing PJ Hendrx laying flat on his back. Then, it shows Amir Yusuf trying to get in the back, so that he can retrieve PJ from the situation presented to him.)
Flannery McCoy: Thank goodness, we weren’t dropped with him, Stew. I like to be able to get through this show without an injury. Amir Yusuf gets PJ Hendrx from behind our table, pulls him by the braided hair and slams him face first against the top of the barricade! This causes the challenger to go back, but Amir has a good grasp of his arm before pulling him and throwing him back to the barricade! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE AMIR IS NOT DONE! HE GRABS PJ AND THROWS HIM ACROSS THE RINGSIDE! PJ FALLS INTO A SEATED POSITION! BUT, AMIR CHARGES AT THE ‘PHANTOM,’ CONNECTING WITH A PENALTY KICK AS PJ IS TOTALLY FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THAT! AMIR GETS IN FRONT OF PJ’S FACE BEFORE NAILING HIM WITH A KICK TO THE FACE! BUT, AMIR GRABS THE TOP OF PJ’S HEAD AND HE’S NAILING A SERIES OF KICKS TO THE FACE OF THE CHALLENGER! He takes a stance before nailing PJ with a superkick! But, Amir holds PJ still, preventing him from falling back before connecting with a bunch of quick back kicks to the face! He is really trying to wear down PJ! One last kick as that sends the challenger back!
Jake Mercer: That’s how much Amir Yusuf wants to keep the Interwire Championship in his grasp! He cannot afford to let the title slip from his grasp! Amir grabs PJ and rolls him back inside the ring! But, it seems like he’s going for the top rope! I think that he may be looking to conclude this match and retain the Interwire Championship! He positions himself on the top rope as he connects with a shooting star press – NO! PJ HENDRX ROLLS HIMSELF AT THE LAST MINUTE, BUT AMIR MANAGES TO ROLL HIMSELF, PREVENTING A HARSH BLOW AND GETTING HIMSELF TO HIS FEET! HE SEES THAT PJ IS GETTING HIMSELF INTO A CRAWLING POSITION AS HE THINKS QUICKLY ON HIS FEET! AMIR REBOUNDS HIMSELF OFF THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES AND CONNECTS WITH A CURB STOMP ON PJ! AMIR QUICKLY GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: PJ HENDRX GETS A SHOULDER UP! BUT, AMIR YUSUF MANAGES TO GRASP THE ARM OF THE CHALLENGER! HE QUICKLY APPLIES THE ARMBAR AS HE’S LOOKING TO POSSIBLY GET A SUBMISSION VICTORY HERE! BUT, PJ QUICKLY GETS A FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE AND NOW, AMIR NEEDS TO RELEASE THE HOLD!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! LET GO, AMIR!
Flannery McCoy: Amir Yusuf is quick to release the hold as he gives PJ Hendrx a bit of time to get to his feet! But, at the first sign of PJ rising back to his feet, Amir pulls the challenger closer to him and gets him into position before connecting with a kneecap brainbuster! Now, we see Amir applying a chinlock on PJ! Amir is wrenching the neck back, applying more pressure onto the hold! Now, I think that Amir has done a brilliant job with weakening PJ Hendrx. PJ finds himself in quite some trouble as he’s clutching his fist, trying to fight through the pain! AMIR TRANSITIONS THE CHINLOCK AND BEGINS TO APPLY A SLEEPERHOLD WITH BODYSCISSORS – NO! PJ MANAGES TO ROLL HIMSELF BACK, CONNECTING WITH A ROLL UP ON AMIR! IS PJ LOOKING TO PULL THIS ENTIRE THING OFF?!?
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: No! Amir Yusuf manages to roll himself out of the roll up attempt! It seemed like that caught Amir off guard! Amir stops PJ in his tracks with a side-handed chop to the chest of the ‘Phantom,’ but PJ Hendrx throws a punch! Amir with a side-handed chop! But, PJ throws a punch to Amir! The two Elitists keep trading shots with one another! Both of them are filled with fire and desire to be better than the other, but Amir connects with a kick to the rib cage of PJ! HE GRABS PJ INTO POSITION AND LOOKS TO GO FOR A TORNADO DDT! HE TAKES HIS LEGS TO THE CORNER, LOOKING TO SPRINGBOARD HIMSELF OFF OF IT, BUT PJ SHOVES AMIR OVER THE TURNBUCKLE AND AMIR LANDS ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD– OH S–
(The camera pans to Amir Yusuf looking dazed and confused as he takes a nasty fall. The fall was concerning that the referee needed to roll himself out of the ring to check on Amir.)
Stew-O: From a camera view, I don’t think the viewers at home were able to see what happened. Can we get a replay?
(REPLAY: The scene replays with Amir Yusuf looking to go for a tornado DDT. He was looking to use the corner to springboard himself off before turning and completing the tornado DDT, but PJ Hendrx shoves Amir over that top turnbuckle. There, the back of his head collided with the steel steps that the steel ring post was connected to. Amir’s head collides with the part that connects the ring post and back of the steel steps.)
(The camera pans back to ringside with Amir Yusuf being checked on by a medical personnel. The medical personnel are waving a small flashlight around the eyes, making sure that Amir’s eyes are moving accordingly in the direction of the light.)
Stew-O: Amir Yusuf took a nasty fall. There’s a possibility that he might have a concussion. Amir’s eyes keep opening and closing. This man is ready to go to consciousness and I think that the referee may need to call this one off –
Flannery McCoy: PJ HENDRX ROLLS HIMSELF OUT OF THE RING! HE SLAMS THE BACK OF AMIR YUSUF’S HEAD AGAINST THE STEEL STEPS! AND HE DOES IT AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! THE REFEREE NEVER CALLED THIS OFF! THIS MATCH IS STILL GOING ON! RIGHT NOW, PJ IS SHOWING THAT NOTHING IS STANDING IN THE WAY OF HIM AND THE INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP! HE GETS AMIR AND ROLLS HIM BACK INSIDE THE RING! PJ RUNS TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS HE IS STALKING AMIR UP ON HIS FEET, BUT AMIR IS STILL DAZED! I DON’T THINK HE TRULY REALIZES WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON AS HE TURNS HIMSELF AROUND! PJ SPRINGBOARDS AND CONNECTS WITH A SPEAR ON AMIR! ‘PIERCE OF AFFLICTION’ CONNECTS TO AMIR! PJ WITH THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRR–
Jake Mercer: WHAT IN THE WORLD?!?!?!
Stew-O: HOW DID AMIR YUSUF KICK OUT OF THAT?!??!
Flannery McCoy: I don’t think that he could help it, guys. It was just a reflex for him to do that. At this point, it seems like Amir is using his instincts. I think that huge fall really knocked him out. PJ Hendrx was able to pick up the Interwire Champion like completely nothing at all! He picks up Amir Yusuf by the hair on his head and it seems like Amir is still trying to give it everything that he has! He is going after the shoulder of PJ, trying to punch it as hard as he can, but these punches are getting sloppy! PJ delivers a huge kick to the stomach of the champion! He rebounds himself off the horizontal set of ropes as taking him down with a tilt-a-whir clothesline to the champion! That was enough to knock the champion down! BUT, AMIR IS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! HE IS TRYING TO FIND HIS WAY BACK TO HIS FEET, BUT PJ PICKS UP AMIR, LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH ‘HURRICANE’ – THE INVERTED DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! OH GOD, THAT JUST SPIKED THE TOP OF AMIR’S HEAD!
Jake Mercer: At this point, go for the cover! Amir Yusuf is in a very vulnerable position! I don’t understand how he’s even having the strength to get back to his feet! Amir can be stubborn at times, but this is life and earth at this point! He finds himself to his knees as he pulls himself up to his feet!
Stew-O: BUT, AMIR YUSUF DROPS HIMSELF DOWN AS PJ HENDRX PULLS HIM BY THE HAIR AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE TWO OF THEM ARE HEADING FOR THE TOP ROPE! WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE WE GOING TO SEE HERE? PJ IS ON THE TOP ROPE! AMIR IS THROWING PUNCHES, TRYING TO GET HIMSELF OUT OF THE SITUATION, BUT PJ DELIVERS A GIANT HEADBUTT! HE LIFTS AMIR UP IN A SUPERPLEX LIFT BEFORE GETTING HIM IN THE PILEDRIVER POSITION! PJ MAINTAINS THAT POSITION AS HE JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE! ‘GO SEE GOD’ ON AMIR YUSUF! AMIR IS SPIKED ON THE TOP OF HIS ALREADY CONCUSSED HEAD! IS THIS GOING TO BE IT?!?!?
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(The crowd reacts in a sincere shock, standing up their feet as ‘DNA’ begins to blast in the background. PJ Hendrx gets off of Amir Yusuf as he rests back against the ropes, in shock of what just happened. There are a ton of emotions racing through his mind, but he feels so much triumph.)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…THE WINNER AND… NEW EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION…PJ HENDRX!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: What in the hell just happened? PJ Hendrx just defeated Amir Yusuf for the Interwire Championship!
Stew-O: A new Interwire Champion has been crowned one week before Operation: Doomsday! I’m just like everyone else! I’m shocked, but this is the beauty of being part of the Dynasty brand! Things like this can occur and on FREE television! If the possibilities of what just happened doesn’t convince you to watch Operation: Doomsday next Saturday, I don’t know what to tell you.
(The camera pans to Amir Yusuf who is being assisted out of the ring from underneath the bottom rope. There are two officials and a medical personnel who have made their way from the back. Despite putting in the work since his return, being the man to dethrone a strong Interwire Champion in Joso, Amir falls short tonight. Right now, he’s fading in and out of consciousness due to that fall earlier in the match. When he finally regains his mind, there’s no doubt that he is going to be heartbroken, but it’s going to make him that much stronger in the long run.)
Flannery McCoy: My mind goes to Amir Yusuf. He had a wonderful showing at King of Elite, dethroning Joso for the Interwire Champion and then, this match with PJ Hendrx was supposed to showcase Amir as the champion to beat. But, it took one accident to the steel steps/ring post for his dreams to completely fade to black.
Jake Mercer: We have a new Interwire Champion, Flannery! Let’s lighten up here! PJ Hendrx has been on the grind since day one. He surprised a lot of people by finding himself in the Extreme Elimination Chamber for the World Heavyweight Championship. He did a magnificent job for himself. He made it to the semi finals of the King of Elite tournament before being defeated by Bronson Daniels. It was a matter of time where PJ will find himself in these types of huge opportunities and captalize on it! Congratulations to PJ Hendrx! Black History Month may be over, but PJ Hendrx is just getting started on Dynasty!
(PJ Hendrx is being helped to his feet as the referee hands him the Interwire Championship. PJ looks at the championship, the prestige and lineage and he will do what he can to continue to set the standard. This was everything that he had worked for since debuting all of those months ago and now, it’s here.)
Stew-O: Amir Yusuf showed a lot of fight towards the end of the match, but his mind couldn’t match that spirit. Smart on PJ Hendrx to captalize and end it when he can! Congratulations to the NEW Interwire Champion, PJ Hendrx!
(The last shot is of PJ Hendrx raising the Interwire Championship above his head.)
(‘Exhibit C’ by Jay Electronica bumps loudly throughout the arena, spurring the EAW faithful to get up on their feet.)
Crowd: PJ! PJ! PJ!
(Their raucous cheers and chants eventually help to usher in the Interwire Champion himself: PJ Hendrx. The lustrous white-and-gold title rests comfortably on the shoulder of the ‘Phantom’ who has risen to fast heights as shown in the Rewind of his match against Amir Yusuf. He has had a short yet stellar reign, proving himself to be a fighting, capable champion. There’s no doubt that PJ has been solid as a title holder and a person willing to put the entirety of his division on his back. Still, his increasing resume has put a large target on his back. Heavy truly is the head that wears the crown.)
(In fact, the usually chill, slick and cool demeanor has been replaced with something slightly more serious. PJ nods his head along to the rhythmic thumps of his theme, but given his encounters with his two future challengers in Shane Gates and Jay Jerry Johnson, there isn’t any time for partying or kicking it back. He strides down the entrance aisle, already having a microphone in hand. He briefly adjusts his sunglasses before entering the ring. The crowd continues to rally behind him, but Hendrx only acknowledges them partly.)
Jake Mercer: PJ has that little smirk of his, but it’s clear he isn’t in a smiling mood at all.
Flannery McCoy: Given what happened last week, I don’t think anyone can really blame him. We were witnessing a stellar main event between two of Dynasty’s brightest stars in PJ and Milli Banks, but thanks to Shane and Jay, the match devolved into madness. Milli won by DQ, but neither she nor PJ have been happy with the outcome.
Stew-O: And if we know anything about PJ, it’s that he isn’t shy about expressing himself. Last week can be seen as a disappointment to many due to what transpired.
(Disappointment. It’s all that PJ can feel in the moment. Even reminiscing on the unsuspecting interference from last show still leaves a bitter taste in the champion’s mouth. His brows instinctively furrow out of annoyance. Even with his music playing and the fans roaring, nothing seems substantial enough to quell his growing frustrations. Before long, the Jay Electronica track dies down and the crowd starts to settle, wanting to hear what the champ has to say.)
(With the attention all on him, PJ speaks.)
PJ Hendrx: Man… I knew things weren’t gonna be smooth sailing, but I didn’t think that two grown-ass men woulda been out here carrying on with all of this foolishness.
(The crowd cheers, heavily behind PJ after weeks of conflict and drama he’s had to endure. He sarcastically ‘tsks’ and shakes his head before letting his gaze fall down to the championship in his possession.)
PJ Hendrx: I mean, I get it. We’re in the thick of Pain for Pride season — or, well, more like the end of it. This is the time where a lot of folks wanna come out of the woodwork and make a lasting impression or even try to score big before we move on to the next season. This is the most opportune time for people to wild out and even strike some gold if they’re lucky enough. However, the desperation has been reeling for far too long now, and at this point, I’m tired of letting these people think they can run up on me, think they can blindside me, and they be even dumber and think they can get away with it. I’m a chill man, or at least I try to be, but that doesn’t mean I’m some type of pushover, you feel me? Like, just because someone wants to be cordial or not be aggressive all the time doesn’t mean that people can walk up to ‘em and treat them anyway they feel like, right?
(Once again, the fans answer positively, cheering their response.)
PJ Hendrx: Exactly. I thought so too. However, it seems like whenever I try to keep things cool and cordial, it just blows up on my face. Shane Gates been one nasty dude and Jay has always been a little salty underneath that ‘good guy’ facade of his, but I figured since they been around the block longer than me, they would’ve gotten tired of all the games and drama. Especially Jay. I mean, homeboy did everything possible under the sun when he went up against me leading up to Grand Rampage and it didn’t even work out!
(PJ laughs out in disbelief, sticking his arm out to further exaggerate the point.)
PJ Hendrx: I’m not even trying to be shady or nothing like that, but it’s the truth. And yeah, I get that he’s all pumped now that he’s got another title match, but bro, if all the attacks and mind games ultimately didn’t lead you to beat me the first time around, what makes you think you can beat me this time? You couldn’t even have been more clever about inserting yourself into my match. You grabbed my leg, JUST like the last time. You did everything off rip the exact. Same. Way. Ain’t nobody told you that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome? In fact, me saying that feels like insanity at this rage because everyone here says that quote all the time! I get that you wanna beat me badly, and hey, I’m all for people being motivated, but you have to be motivated in the right way, Jay. All this sneak dissing and running around? This ain’t it, and it never will be it. This isn’t how you become a champion. This isn’t how you’re finally going to be able to elevate yourself and be taken seriously by more people here. I was excited about facing you again because I already know what you’re like in the ring. You don’t play around. However, you’re playing around too much when it comes to attacking me and acting like a little crybaby, so now, I’m not in the mood for wishing you good luck. I don’t care about making this some competitive affair between you and I. I’m in the camp of beating the breaks off of you, boy, just like I did in this season already.
(The crowd ‘ooooohs’, feeling the heat from the champion’s words. They repeatedly murmur, loving the fact that PJ isn’t restraining himself.)
PJ Hendrx: And as for Shane Gates?
(He pauses.)
PJ Hendrx: … What do I gotta say about him?
(Some of the fans laugh, right along with PJ.)
PJ Hendrx: Naaaaah. Nah! Listen, aye, I’m just keeping it real. If people wanna be disrespectful then I can go tit-for-tat. However, some Elitists here need to learn their place, and that includes you, Shane. Bro been here for years talking bout how he is a ‘natural born killer’ or a ‘psychopath’. All that dark, brooding, edgy stuff that’s better suited for when this company used to have ‘Extreme’ in its name. Yet, what did any of that help you to accomplish here, Shane? Apparently you’ve won some championships in your career, but seeing as how you’ve been a complete bozo in the five years you’ve been an EAW Elitist, I’m sure many people gotta work hard to fact check your history to make sure you ain’t capping. Maybe if you put in the same amount of time and energy you’ve done coming after me into your career, you could’ve been doing far better here. But you ain’t. You just wanna lash out and yell and throw people around and act like you’re some big, scary, tough veteran everyone gotta be wary of when the Bea Valentine is far more credible than you, bro. 💀
PJ Hendrx: Honestly, I don’t know why Elitists like Shane and Jay are always the ones that are puffing out their chests the most. It’s a lot of grandstanding and extra-ness, but at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. None of this rah-rah stuff is gonna net either of them championship gold, and especially not when this title has been right at home with me. Y’all can do your best to show off your fangs and get me all scared, but I’m not. It hasn’t and it will never work. There’s nothing you two can say or do that will ever instill a sense of doubt into me. I’ve been a star ever since day one, and my status will always stay solidified so long as I’m still the Interwire Champion. I have no intentions of losing it anytime soon, and especially not to either one of you. Besides, I’ve beaten so many people on the roster already, and those same people think they can magically turn over a new leaf and come back for more smoke. However, I ain’t gonna shrivel up. I’m not going to choke. I’m only going to keep getting better, and at Pain for Pride, everyone is going to see this title and me at their absolute best.
(PJ takes the time to raise the Interwire Championship in the air, letting it shine underneath the bright lights of the arena. He looks up at it, a small smile gracing his face.
(Until ‘The Dying Song (Time to Sing)’ by Slipknot hits.)
(At that moment, the energy from the crowd shifts. Boos rain down all throughout the venue as Shane Gates steps out, looking annoyed beyond belief. He scoffs, giving a shake of his head. He storms down to the ring while raising his own mic to speak.)
Shane Gates: Look at you. So arrogant and too damn full of yourself for your own good. Do you really think that you’re the guy now all because you managed to luck out against Amir? He managed to win his first title a lot sooner than you did, as have others. However, how quickly you are able to find gold in your hands is not indicative of you being a potential mainstay in this company. If anything…
(Shane enters through the ropes and gets closer to PJ, staring daggers into him.)
Shane Gates: It shows that you’re more likely to burn out.
(PJ rolls his eyes, all while the fans boo. However, Shane steps up even closer, cutting the space between him and Hendrx by a few inches.)
PJ Hendrx: Aye, you need to back up.
Shane Gates: I’ll do whatever the hell I want. People like you who think some overnight success is going to propel them to a meaningful career are stupid and naive. It’s almost impressive how many of you think the same way. It doesn’t make you special, especially when the opponents you’ve dealt with weren’t anything to write home about either.
PJ Hendrx: Just like you? :mjlol:
Shane Gates: Oh, sure, I’ve struggled here and there. I never claimed to be perfect. However, I have claimed to be persistent. Tireless. Unwavering. Because unlike idiots like you, I don’t care to have my success fast-tracked. It’s easy to run your mouth when you’re up at the present moment, but I guarantee you, PJ, that you won’t have anything left to say once I knock your teeth down your throat and make you choke in a pool of your own blood.
(A few of the fans look shocked by the serious threats being lobbied against PJ. Given Shane’s violent tendencies, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to imagine him being capable of doing that and more. However, PJ is unmoved. If anything, he continues to laugh! This makes Shane frown. His free hand clenched into a fist. One look at him reveals that he’s debating whether or not to attack PJ right then and there.)
PJ Hendrx: Yup, you woulda fit right on in with the corny bunch back in the day! 🤣
Shane Gates: Keep laughing. Continue to treat this as if it were all some kind of joke. However, in the end, the only person who will be laughing is me. I let people say whatever they want, but now, that is done. I’ve improved a lot since the beginning of this reason, and I plan on calling off all of the hard work I’ve been putting in by ending this season with a win. I mean it too, PJ. I am going to beat you, and I will become the new Interwire Cha—
???: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on now. Don’t start the party without me, guys.
(Sarcastic in demeanor, Jay Jerry Johnson steps out. A mostly-positive reception ring out, although there are some boos that can be heard. PJ and Shane turn their attention over to Jay, who takes his time approaching the ring.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: My, you two have been awfully busy just hammering away with your mouths. However, all I’ve been hearing for the past few minutes have been a whole lot of… well, nothing. It’s just the usual spiel from you two. ‘I’m better than you!’ ‘I’m going to destroy you!’ ‘I’m going to be a champion!’ ‘No, I’M going to be a champion!’ I mean, goodness gracious, I couldn’t be more bored than I already am.
(Jay joins the fray as he steps into the ring. His attention first wavers towards Shane Gates.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: I’ve also been hearing some lies being told, such as you working hard. If you were able to change and better yourself, then you would’ve been a far more efficient and worthwhile partner. Your career would’ve been in a far better spot now and not being wasted away if you were actually that.
Shane Gates: Really? And you’re somehow an upstanding, shining example of a tag team partner? Need I remind you that your dumb ass cost us that trios match against those three perpetual losers?
Jay Jerry Johnson: You’re looking at the wrong man for that.
PJ Hendrx: Here we go again. 🙄
Shane Gates: Sure. He’s a crap partner and so are you. In fact, I think I’ll put you higher up on the list for crappy partners, just being second behind Nick Hart.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Please. You were never one to work well with other people, ‘PsYcHoPaTh’. Besides, I thought you liked being on your own?
Shane Gates: I do. However, I’m not petty enough to disregard my partner and my match. I care about winning, Jay. You don’t. You are a childish, arrogant man child who thinks you’re entitled to see some success that is far behind your pay grade and your talent. You definitely shouldn’t be here standing in the same ring as me and try to talk about who’s been wasting away when you are the biggest choker right now on our show.
Jay Jerry Johnson: And I’m supposed to care about what you have to say? Take a look at the mirror for once, even if it’ll break because of how much of an ugly Neanderthal you look trying to cosplay as a somewhat-competent human being.
Shane Gates: Let’s not start talking about looks, small fry. I can easily break your twig legs in half. In fact, I should’ve done that last week. Would’ve prevented us from having to hear you talk.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Oh, so you of all people want to complain about that? You know what, I’m not even going to continue with the stupid back-and-forth. I may have faltered in big matches, including those where that title was on the line, but I am in a far better position than you. At least I’ve been to main events and have shown off my in-ring prowess in them. At least I actually WON in those same main events.
(Jay gives a quick side-eye to PJ.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: And you know what, Shane? At least people say that I still have the potential to be a champion here. But you? You’re damaged goods. There’s nothing worthwhile stemming from you. You’re just an old has-been who needs to finally accept that he has no place in EAW — though, should I even call you a has-been and you never-been that guy in the first place? You will not become a champion at Pain for Pride, and you are not better than me whatsoever. That Interwire Championship belongs to me.
Shane Gates: No, it belongs to me. And I am not going to be denied an opportunity that I have been waiting for so long. I am going to beat you and become the new ch—
PJ Hendrx: Man, shut your bitch asses up.
(The crowd pops. Shane and Jay whip their heads towards PJ, who playfully pretends to yawn.)
PJ Hendrx: We don’t care. I don’t care, the fans don’t care, the people sitting at home don’t care, nobody does. Maybe if this was a season ago when you guys were still taken somewhat seriously, then sure. However, it’s the same promises being made that y’all have already broken time after time again. Quite frankly, I’m done. You guys ain’t gonna change anything. Besides, it’s too late for that now, don’t you think? Jay, you’re an amazing in-ring talent, but you really do act entitled at times. And as for you, Shane… I don’t even know. It’s like you’re going through the motions rather than actually caring about this promotion at all. You wanna scream and tell everyone that you’re prepared to be champion, but you’ve been doing that for years now. When will it finally be your time?
(Jay looks insulted while Shane is getting more flustered.)
PJ Hendrx: Y’all had your time all season to make something of yourselves, but you didn’t. Meanwhile, I can come in, win a title not even a year into my tenure, and I’m out here all over posters, promos and everything else in between. But that didn’t come from luck. That came through skill and hard work — two things y’all love to brag about having, but don’t put them into practice. And at this point, I think I speak for everyone when I say we’re tired of it. I sure as hell am.
(Shane huffs, while Jay backs up into the ropes, crossing his arms to his chest.)
PJ Hendrx: If y’all wanna pop off here and now, then go ahead and do so. However, I’m not wasting anymore words with you two. I’m ready to fight, and I’m gonna do that next weekend when I beat the two of you and keep what’s rightfully mine. End of discussion.
(PJ drops his mic as his music plays. He steps out, leaving Shane and Jay in the ring. The two men watch as PJ is in a better headspace, smirking while looking down at his title. A bitter feeling washed over Shane while Jay looked irritated more than anything else. The last shot we see is off Jay and Shane glaring at each other from the side as Dynasty fades.)
[SCREENBAR: Serenity Valdez vs Milli Banks – Specialists Championship – Justified Reckoning 2022]
(The camera then goes over to show Stephie Love standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand ready to announce the next match.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for… ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Stephie Love: And it is for… THE EAW… SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
(The fans begin to boo, already anticipating the arrival of the controversial challenger. However, instead of the familiar opening that comes with ‘Changed It’, the beginning of ‘Last Man Standing’ by Vybz Kartel begins to play through the arena. One after the other, people dressed in Jamaican military attire step onto the stage. They line up uniformly, leaving a spot in the middle open. Soon, Milli Banks steps out, donned in wrestling gear inspired by the tactical gear the military personnel use. Flecks of gold and green hair glitter adorn her usual blue unit. Donning shades, Banks looks confident as she pops the collar of her jacket. She turns, and on the back of it are the faces of various Elitists with their faces crossed out in black ink: Andrea Valentine. Ms. Extreme. TLA. Limmy Monaghan. Ruler. Joso. Mr. DEDEDE. Even Ronn Banks.)
Stew-O: Oh.
Jake Mercer: Wow.
Flannery McCoy: :lupe:
(The fans go ballistic booing at Milli, but she laughs. As she walks down the ramp, she sings along to the lyrics of the song while the soldiers follow along in an orderly line behind.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, from Brooklyn, New York, weighing in tonight at 130 pounds… she is ‘The Brooklyn Bankroller’, ‘Big Baller Mill’, ‘Big Mouth’, ‘Big Stepper’, ‘Stargirl’, ‘The It Girl’, ‘New York’s Finest’, ‘One in a Million’, and ‘The World Boss’… MIIIIIIIILLIIIIIIIIII BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Over the last few weeks, Milli Banks has delivered some very strong words to the current Specialist Champion, and she even has a tag team victory over her, teaming with Madison Kaline when the two beat the team of Sierra Bradford and Serenity.
Flannery McCoy: I think it is very safe to say that Milli is going to be the toughest challenger that Serenity has to defend against, and she might just be her last too. We have all seen what Milli is all about, and tonight is the night where she looks to take it to the next level, and become the new Specialist Champion. :wow:
(The camera gives people a quick view of Milli’s family in attendance in the front row, gassing her up as she walks past them. She enters the ring while the soldiers all line around the ring. Milli does her little dancey-dance before she poses with a fist in the air, and the soldiers follow suit with their fists. The pyro around the ring goes off. The soldiers disperse, and Milli gets into her corner.)
Jake Mercer: I don’t know, guys! I know Milli has as much of a chance to become the Specialist Champion as Serenity does retaining, but Serenity has tricks up her sleeve for tonight, and she might be able to execute them perfectly and steal the victory, retaining the title right out underneath of her. But, we will have to see.
(‘Last Man Standing would slowly fade out from there, as Milli Banks is seen in her corner, waiting eagerly for the Specialist Champion to finally make her presence known.)
(With the arena in un-ending anticipation, the EAW Viewers at home were shown the entrance of the titantron from a sky view, getting a great glimpse of a choir set up on both sides of the huge pad area at the top of the ramp, with a gigantic red carpet already rolling down to the ring, two conductor’s standing in front of both sides in preparation for the upcoming entrance. Finally, both getting their marks to command the band form a stagehand off the screen, the conductors waving their batons in the air for a moment, before getting the entire group of band players in tune, with the trumpets blaring the beat to ‘Royal Fanfare’ as the crowd grew in excitement, beginning to cheer for the performance as it ensued; the beautiful symphony gracing everyone in attendance.)
(Fireworks began shooting off into the air, an array of red, purple, and gold lights flickering into the sky to the amazement of the EAW Universe in attendance here in the Sparks Arena, as finally, Serenity Valdez made her way out to the ring to the whimsical sounds of the trumpets, a red robe veiling her full body and a crown on her head; the return of La Reina for one night only was here it seemed as the crowd couldn’t help but boo over the amazing set of performers, as Serenity Valdez got right in front of the titantron; looking around the arena for a moment, scanning the crowd as she grew a grin on her face.)
Jake Mercer: *fangirling*
(Looking over to the conductors who gave Serenity a nod, all of a sudden halting the performance of the trumpet players in the midst of their symphony, with the conductors both taking their stances; each trumpet player going to their stands and switching the note sheets they were playing off of almost as if this was planned, Serenity Valdez just standing still as if waiting for a cue of her own as finally, the conductors would gain pace over the trumpet players, raising their batons once more as finally, they began playing again, though a less regal feel to this music as the trumpet players began playing the beat of ‘Enemy’ by Imagine Dragons featuring J.I.D!!!)
(The arena lights dimmed the moment the first notes flew out the trumpet as a huge spotlight was now placed on the Specialist’s Champion, before Serenity Valdez FINALLY swung off the robe revealing a beautiful set of white and gold gear, and her even more beautiful Specialist’s Championship sitting around her waist. From there, she would finally begin to make her way down to the ring!)
Stephie Love: AND HER OPPONENT! From Tijuana, Mexico… weighing in tonight at 130 pounds… SHE IS THE CURRENT REIGNING EAW SPECIALIST CHAMPION!!!! THE ‘VIRTUOSA’… SERRRRRREEEENNNNITYYYYYYY VALLLLLLDEEEEEEZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: THE GOAT! THE BEST! THE SUPERIOR! SHE IS BETTER THAN THE CURRENT ELITIST IN THE RING-
Stew-O: Let’s not with the bias — alright?
Jake Mercer: Fine… but I am a proud member of the :sparkles: Serenity Valdez Fanclub :sparkles: I will have you know, and I am sure everyone in New Zealand is as well!
Flannery McCoy: Well by the reaction that was given to her, that is extremely doubtful. But that doesn’t mean that Serenity Valdez has been having a run of a lifetime in her own right. Just coming off of the main event match of Territorial Invasion, she is coming into Justified Reckoning, defending the Specialist Championship against Milli Banks in a very unpredictable match.
(Serenity would enter the ring, getting in Milli Banks’ face, before holding up the Specialist Championship right in front of her. The referee has to force her away, as Serenity would hand the Championship over to the referee, the ref holding it high in the air as Serenity Valdez backs into her corner. And from there… the ref would call for the bell!)
(DING! DING! DING!)
(Both Women immediately storm to the center of the ring, getting in each other’s faces as they begin to trash talk, the fans giving a hugely mixed reaction to this, booing both of the Elitists in this match, but also massively cheering as the bell rung, as they will get to see them tear each other apart.)
Stew-O: SPECIALIST CHAMPIONSHIP ON THE LINE, AND THESE TWO ARE ALREADY GOING AT IT! Serenity Valdez and Milli Banks are trading lefts and rights to start this out, and this is a clear battle of endurance to start, as Serenity is able to take the first opportunity of this match with a kick right to the gut, as she throws Milli at the ropes, but Milli is able to dodge Serenity’s clothesline, and she goes behind, grabbing Serenity by the waist and pulls her up and down into a German Suplex!!
Flannery McCoy: These two are going right at it, and it looks like Milli is going to go for the very first pinfall of this match!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: However Serenity Valdez quickly kicks out! But this is a smart strategy by Milli Banks — make Serenity waste as much energy as possible to slow her down, and it looks like she is going to execute that strat as Milli quickly transitions into a side headlock, cutting off the oxygen as Serenity clearly doesn’t have anywhere for her to go at this point in time. Serenity is trying to fight out of it, but the more she fights, the tighter the grip gets.
Stew-O: Milli slowly begins to pull herself and Serenity back up to their feet, as she lets go of the side headlock, before transitioning around… but as she is about to get the grasp of the arm, Serenity is able to duck away from it, before running the ropes and catching Milli with a quick armdrag! But both women are able to quickly get back up to their feet, and this time it is Milli who grabs Serenity by the arm, connecting with an armdrag of her own!
Flannery McCoy: Once more the two female Elitists are able to get back up to their feet with the swiftness, and Serenity looks immediately to swing right at Milli, but Milli ducks it, before pushing Serenity back, and then she runs the ropes… AND MILLI GRABS A HOLD OF SERENITY…
Jake Mercer: ‘BANKRUPT’!!!!!
Stew-O: ALREADY?! MILLI BANKS IN AN INSTANT MIGHT HAVE JUST PUT THIS MATCH TO BED WITH THE ‘BANKRUPT’, STANDING SITOUT SHIRANUI!!! MILLI DIVES INTO THE COVER, AND SHE HOOKS THE LEG! THIS COULD BE IT BEFORE IT COULD EVEN GET GOING!!!!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT SERENITY VALDEZ KICKS OUT ONCE MORE! We almost just saw a new Specialist Champion quickly into this match, but Serenity wasn’t going to let go of the Championship that early — but you can definitely tell that Milli Banks has her number and has her reeling here! Milli props herself back up to her feet, as she pulls Serenity up with her, and Milli connects with a stiff right hand! The Champion is so obviously dazed, and one has to wonder what she is going to have to do to get back into this.
Jake Mercer: Milli has the Champs number right now, as she props Serenity up in the corner, before running the ropes, and she runs at her… but Serenity catches Milli with a big boot! This might be her way to create some space, as Milli tries her luck again, but once more Serenity is able to get her boot up! Milli tries one more time, running the ropes… BUT SERENITY VALDEZ THIS TIME EXPLODES OUT OF THE CORNER WITH A BICYCLE KICK!
Stew-O: Milli Banks falls down to her knees, as Serenity catches her composure… but she notices the position that Milli has fallen in… AND SERENITY RUNS THE ROPES!! NOW IT’S SERENITY’S TURN TO PUT THIS TO AN END EARLY; AS SHE GOES FOR THE ‘HIT THE LIGHTS’!!! RUNNING KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!
Flannery McCoy: BUT NO! Milli knew her surroundings, and she was able to quickly drop down and roll under the bottom rope down to the floor below before Serenity could connect with the knee, and you can just tell that Serenity is frustrated about that, and I cannot blame her. Serenity lets out a sigh of clear disappointment, before exiting the ring and dropping down to the floor near Milli, before she simply just boots her right in the face.
Jake Mercer: Serenity drags the challenger back up to her feet, as you can tell that Milli is still feeling the effects from those boots to the face, as Serenity would get a grip on her… before throwing her right into the barricade arm first. That was a harsh impact, as you can see Milli favoring her arm and shoulder, as Serenity grabs her once again, before throwing her back into the ring, and following suit.
Stew-O: And Valdez drops her knee right down onto the face of Milli Banks! Serenity has finally found the opening that she needed, as she is now able to take control in this match, having Milli right where she wants her as she once more drops her knee into her face! Milli is now on the receiving end of the beating, as Serenity is now going to take the time to taunt the crowd and show off her self-proclaimed greatness!
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) THAT’S RIGHT! WHO’S THE BEST?! I AM!!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Serenity Valdez: .
Jake Mercer: Well, so much for the Serenity Fanclub…
Crowd: YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!
Flannery McCoy: And Serenity, not taking the reaction from the crowd too lightly, picks a dazed Milli Banks back up to her feet, before running the ropes, and she flips Milli inside out with a huge lariat! Serenity quickly gets back up to her feet once more…
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) WHO SUCKS NOW??!!
Crowd: SE-RE-NITY! SE-RE-NITY! SE-RE-NITY!
Serenity Valdez: :francis:
Jake Mercer: That didn’t go as planned. But because of the reaction, Serenity is clearly not happy as she picks Milli right back up to her feet, before picking her up onto her shoulders, and she drops Banks right down onto that hurt shoulder blade with a back body drop! And Serenity goes for the cover!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: But Milli gets the kickout!
Flannery McCoy: This match has been very fast-paced from the get go, but it seems that now Serenity is going to make sure to slow it down, as she picks Milli back up to a knee by the hair, before connecting with a stiff right punch right to the face, and Milli is clearly dazed from that strike, as Serenity picks her up to a higher position, before connecting with a forearm smash. She takes the opportunity to get Milli back up to her feet, before connecting with a huge uppercut, as it startles Milli, making her stagger back into the ropes…
Jake Mercer: …AND MILLI BANKS USED THE ROPES AS A NICE REBOUND, BEFORE PUSHING HERSELF FORWARD AND FLIPPING SERENITY INSIDE OUT WITH A MID-RUN STANDING SPANISH FLY! That was a definite first from Milli Banks, as she completely caught Serenity off guard — looking to pull out whatever it takes to leave Sparks Arena as the new Specialist Champion, and it might just be doing the trick here!
Stew-O: And remember, Serenity Valdez *is* pretty vulnerable right now. She was hit with the ‘Bankrupt’ earlier on in this Championship match, and Milli did get her good with it. As much as Serenity would try and keep fighting to keep her title, Milli might just have her number right now. But focusing back to the action, as it seems that neither woman can even make it up to their feet right now, Milli obviously trying to pull herself up but failing.
Flannery McCoy: One has to wonder if maybe this match might just end sooner than we all thought it was going to, as these two Elitists have been beating the absolute hell out of each other from the opening bell. This has been an absolute car wreck, and we have already entered the stage of clear exhaustion, as they are both fighting to even hold themselves up on their feet! Finally, Milli is able to get back up to her feet with the help of the ropes, but it looks like Serenity is going to follow suit, as now they are both up, and you can only guess on what happens next…
(Both Milli Banks and Serenity Valdez would stand straight on their feet, as they slowly turn their heads, and they spot each other, locking eyes as they both turn towards each other, and they walk towards each other in the center of the ring…)
(Once the two finally meet in the middle, they immediately get right back into the trash talking. It starts to get more and more intense, as everyone is on the edge of their seat, waiting for the first strike to be thrown. Once the trash talk finally comes to an end, Milli would take a quick step back—)
(And Serenity takes the opportunity to throw the first strike!)
Jake Mercer: SERENITY JUST THREW THE PUNCH AND NOW THEY ARE GOING RIGHT BACK AT IT! MILLI BANKS AND SERENITY VALDEZ ARE BOTH TRADING STIFF STRIKES… BUT MILLI IS ABLE TO GRAB SERENITY FROM UNDER, AND PICKS HER UP, BEFORE DROPPING HER RIGHT DOWN ONTO THE MAT BELOW! MILLI MOUNTS SERENITY, AND BEGINS TO THROW LEFTS AND RIGHTS AS SERENITY IS TRYING TO DEFEND HERSELF BUT IT IS NO USE!
Stew-O: Milli picks herself back up to her feet, before she runs the ropes, and runs straight towards Serenity… but Serenity pops herself back up to her feet, and she goes for a massive clothesline! But Milli ducks it! Milli pushes Serenity into the ropes, before she goes for another German Suplex, but this time Serenity lands right on her feet… but it doesn’t matter as Milli quickly gets back up to her feet, and Milli rushes to the corner and jumps onto the top rope—
Flannery McCoy: BUT SERENITY RUNS RIGHT UP TO THE TOP ROPE, MEETING MILLI THERE—
Jake Mercer: But Milli Banks immediately pushes Serenity right off the top rope, and Serenity goes crashing down to the mat below! Milli is gaining her composure, as she is perched on the top rope, looking to fly, and Serenity can’t stop it because she is down and out! MILLI LOOKS BEFORE SHE EYES HER TARGET… AND THERE SHE GOES! ‘MILLI-ON-AIR’!!!!!
Stew-O: WAIT! SERENITY VALDEZ WAS ABLE TO POP HERSELF BACK UP TO HER FEET AGAIN BEFORE MILLI COULD JUMP INTO THE AIR! SERENITY RUNS UP TO THE TOP ROPE ONCE MORE TO MEET MILLI…
Flannery McCoy: …
Jake Mercer: WHAT THE HELL?!!
Stew-O: WHAT DID WE JUST WITNESS?! IMMEDIATELY AS SERENITY GOT UP TO THE TOP ROPE, MILLI BANKS WAS ABLE TO GRAB A HOLD OF HER, AND FLIP HER AROUND IN A TILT-A-WHIRL-LIKE SPIN, BEFORE COMPLETELY SHIFTING HER MOMENTUM TO THE OUTSIDE, DROPPING SERENITY DOWN BACK FIRST RIGHT ONTO THE APRON FROM THE TOP ROPE! EVERYONE IN THE ARENA IS IN COMPLETE SHOCK, AND I THINK MILLI IS TOO WITH HOW SHE HAD JUST PULLED THAT OFF!
(An Instant Replay played in slow motion shows Serenity getting up to the top rope, only for Milli to immediately get a grasp on her, completely shifting their momentum as she performed what could be described as an avalanche tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, dropping Serenity back first right onto the apron, as she crashed down to the ringside floor below.)
(As the Camera would focus back in on the action, Milli can be seen crawling back up to her feet, barely being able to hold herself up as she picks up a clearly down and out Serenity, and throwing her deadweight into the ring.)
Flannery McCoy: I-… I can’t even put it into words of what we had just seen! Milli has had Serenity’s number for just about most of this match, and it has been working perfectly as now that Serenity is completely out of it, Milli looks to be looking to take the risk for the reward just one last time, going up to the top rope, as she gets her standing… AND SHE JUMPS! MILLI-ON-AIR — THE CORKSCREW MOONSAULT, AND IT IS GOING TO HIT THE TARGET—
Jake Mercer: HOW?! HOW DID SERENITY JUST MOVE OUT OF THE WAY? HOW DID SHE EVEN HAVE IT IN HER TO MOVE AFTER SHE CRASHED DOWN ONTO THE APRON! How is Serenity even managing to get back up to her feet right now?! She is using the ropes, but the fact that she is even back up in the first place is a miracle, as Milli quickly gets up, but Serenity runs at her… and she connects with a running sidestep superkick straight to the jaw!
Stew-O: Oh come on, we all know the motives behind that! She just hit Milli with The ‘Devil’s Touch’ — the exact same superkick that the current EAW World Champion, Minerva, uses, but even then it didn’t take Milli off her feet… BUT THAT WILL! SERENITY WITH EL ULTIMO BAILE, THE RECOIL CONNECTS WITH FORCE AS MILLI LOOKS TO BE COMPLETELY OUT OF IT, AND SERENITY GETS HER ARM OVER HER FOR THE COVER! SHE IS GOING TO ESCAPE WITH HER CHAMPIONSHIP!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTHHHHHRRRRR—
Flannery McCoy: MILLI BANKS KICKS OUT! SHE KICKS OUT! MILLI BANKS JUST BARELY KICKS OUT, AND SERENITY IS **NOT** HAPPY! Serenity thought she had this match won, but clearly it wasn’t enough, and now she is starting to go insane! Is she pulling her hair out?! Serenity is trying to escape Justified Reckoning with the Specialist Championship in her grasp, but Milli Banks is continuing to show her just how difficult it is going to be to keep her down.
(Serenity Valdez would prop herself back up to her feet, as she gets into the face of the referee, and begins to argue about the decision. The referee continues to point it out to be an obvious two count, and only a two count, but Serenity isn’t having any of it. Meanwhile, Milli can be seen slowly crawling back up to her feet, gaining her composure, as she appears behind Serenity…)
Jake Mercer: Serenity’s frustrations is understandable, but she doesn’t realize who is behind her, and she about to be turning around is going to make the realization that much worse—
Stew-O: MILLI TURNS SERENITY AROUND, AND SHE GRABS A HOLD ONTO HER!! BANKRUPT!!!
Flannery McCoy: NO! SERENITY HOLDS HER GROUND, BEFORE DROPPING DOWN TO HER KNEES! But Milli isn’t going to have any of that, as she quickly grabs Serenity by the hair, pulling her straight up to her feet… AND CONNECTS WITH A HUGE CLOTHESLINE!
Jake Mercer: WAIT! SERENITY DUCKED THE CLOTHESLINE AND MILLI JUST TOOK OUT THE REFEREE! THE REF IS DOWN! THE REF IS DOWN, AND SERENITY QUICKLY ROLLS OUT OF THE RING!
Referee: :dead:
Stew-O: Milli is checking on the referee, but it is pretty clear that she still very much has her focus on Serenity, as she just lets out a disappointing sigh, before reaching through the middle rope, and grabs Serenity by the hair, and she pulls her up onto the apron…
(**CRACK!**)
Flannery McCoy: Of course.
(The Camera would immediately zoom in on Serenity Valdez, sitting on the apron, an evil grin painted across her face as she has a kendo stick in hand. She drops the kendo stick, before pulling Milli out to the outside of the ring.)
Jake Mercer: Serenity is taking the advantage that was made with the referee going down, and she is making the absolute most of it! Milli doesn’t even know what hit her, as Serenity now picks her up, before grasping onto her attire… AND SHE RAMS MILLI RIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE AT FULL SPEED — FULL FORCE! Serenity is absolutely loving this newfound opportunity, as now she is beating down on Milli, and Milli can’t even do anything about it! Serenity has changed the whole momentum of this match, and she has done that quickly!
Flannery McCoy: The EAW Specialists Champion gets off of Milli Banks and turns to the crowd, taunting them. The audience in attendance is booing the heck out of Serenity, and it is obvious that they aren’t a fan of these underhanded tactics coming from the champ at all. Milli Banks grabs the top of the barricade that she was laying next to and tries to pull herself back up to her feet.. AND SERENITY CHARGES IN WITH A BOOT STRAIGHT TO THE HEAD OF MILLI BANKS!! Milli’s entire head just got pancaked in between the thinly padded metal barricade and Serenity’s boot!! The booing has just gotten a whole lot louder.
Stew-O: You can’t lie that this isn’t smart on the champion’s part, but this is ridiculous at this point, to say the least. Serenity grabs a full hand of Milli Banks’ hair and tosses her body closer to our announcer’s table.. Oh come on, Serenity. Don’t do something you will regret facing the consequences of.. Serenity grabs Milli Banks by her hair again and now she is just driving her repeatedly into the table! She won’t stop at anything! Milli Banks is defenseless from this attack and — HEY!! Serenity is taking the hard cover off of our announcer’s table! Stop doing that, you—
Jake Mercer: Let the champion do what she wants, this is entertaining!
Stew-O: Sigh.
Jake Mercer: Serenity now throws Milli Banks on top of the table and she seems to be getting on top of the table with her as well?? Hold on, I gotta step back for this one..
Flannery McCoy: Same, Jake… Serenity is now standing on top of our table with pride, as she spreads her arms out to the crowd taking in all of their hatred. She grabs Milli by the head — AND MILLI LANDS A STRIKE BACK, RIGHT TO SERENITY’S FACE!!… But Serenity immediately kicks Milli Banks straight in the knee, stopping any chance at all for her to get back on the offensive. Serenity now wraps her right arm around the back of Milli’s head, taking Milli’s opposite arm and forcing her to do the same to hers… Serenity LIFTS Milli Banks up in the air—
Jake Mercer: AND SERENITY PLANTS MILLI BANKS WITH A BRAINBUSTER OFF OF OUR ANNOUNCER’S TABLE, ONTO THE HARD TABLE COVERING LAYING ON THE THIN MATS BELOW!!! We might have just seen the final blow of this match, as the aforementioned covering of the table is now completely split in half!! Wood pieces are visible. Milli Banks’ eyes are almost glazed over as Serenity stumbles up to her feet and picks the challenger up by her attire, quickly throwing her into the ring.
Flannery McCoy: Serenity forces Milli Banks up to her feet and faces her back towards her, grabbing her head — AND SERENITY LANDS “BANKRUPT?!?” MILLI BANKS’ VERY OWN STANDING SITOUT SHIRANU HAS JUST BEEN USED AGAINST HER!!!
Stew-O: WAIT, BUT THAT’S NOT ALL AS SERENITY WASTES NO TIME BY RUNNING OFF OF THE ROPES, CHARGING UP A KNEE STRIKE — AND “HIT THE LIGHTS” CONNECTS!!! MILLI BANKS HAS JUST BEEN HIT WITH TWO DEVASTATING MOVES BACK TO BACK, ONE OF THOSE BEING HER VERY OWN!!
(The referee can be seen crawling over to where Serenity is at due to the sound of her obnoxiously yelling. Serenity falls into the cover as the referee begins a slow count.)
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
(…)
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
(…)
Referee: TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Flannery McCoy: I’M SPEECHLESS! THE MATCH… IT’S STILL GOING! IT’S STILL GOING! THE MATCH IS STILL ON!
(With a sudden burst of energy, Milli Banks was able to pop her shoulder up within mere milliseconds of the referee nearly reaching the mat for the three count, staying in this match as Serenity can be seen even more pissed off than before, as Milli will not stay down.)
(Serenity would slowly sit back up, before moving to a position on her knees, as she would grab Milli by the hair. She pulls her up by her hair — Milli looking clear dazed, as she looks into the eyes of Serenity.)
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) Stay down.
(…)
Milli Banks: (off-mic) …Make me.
(…)
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) I said… stay. down.
Milli Banks: (off-mic) …And I said… make. me.
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) Have it your way then.
Stew-O: SERENITY VALDEZ RUNS OFF THE ROPE, AND SHE LOOKS TO END IT ONCE AND FOR ALL WITH ONE FINAL ‘HIT THE LIGHTS’!!! THE RUNNING KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD IS RIGHT ON TARGET—
Jake Mercer: SHE DUCKED IT! MILLI DUCKED IT! MILLI ROLLS BEFORE GETTING BACK UP TO HER FEET, BUT SERENITY RUNS RIGHT AT HER… BUT MILLI DUCKS ONCE MORE, AND THEN SHE RUNS THE ROPES HERSELF!!!
Milli Banks:
Flannery McCoy: FORECLOSURE! FORECLOSURE! MILLI JUST DROPPED SERENITY ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD WITH THE SPRINGBOARD BACKFLIP INVERTED DDT, AND NOW SHE IS GOING TO PUT THE DEFINITIVE END TO ALL OF THIS!
Milli Banks: (off-mic) *YOU* STAY DOWN.
Stew-O: MILLI RUNS THE ROPES ONCE MORE, BEFORE SPRINGBOARDING, AND CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT FOR GOOD MEASURE! SERENITY IS *OUT* OF IT, AND MILLI IS LOOKING TO PUT THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF THIS MATCH, AND TO WIN THE SPECIALIST CHAMPIONSHIP, AND SHE MIGHT JUST BE ABLE TO DO IT RIGHT NOW! SHE’S GOING TO THE TOP ROPE!
(Milli would begin to climb up to the top rope once more in this match, and quite possibly the last. She gets the perfect balancing on the top rope, before looking down at Serenity, realizing that she is one big move and moments away from becoming the new Champion…)
Jake Mercer: AND MILLI JUMPS! MILLI JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE — AND RIGHT ON TARGET!!!
(**MILLI-ON-AIR!!!**)
Flannery McCoy: THE CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS! IT CONNECTS — IT HITS WITH PERFECTION! SERENITY IS COMPLETELY OUT OF IT, AND MILLI HAS HER ARM OVER HER! THIS IS IT!
(The referee would jump down into the pin, beginning to make the count!!)
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Suddenly… it appeared that the count had been stopped. The referee is now on the outside of the ring, as there is someone else near him…)
Stew-O: WHAT THE HELL? WHAT IS THIS FOR?! WHY IS *SIERRA BRADFORD* HERE, AND WHY DID SHE JUST PULL THE REFEREE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING??!! WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HER?
Jake Mercer: Oh my gawd… Milli is NOT happy, and I CANNOT blame her! Milli is slowly getting back up to her feet, and it looks like she is about to do something about this… she’s about to lose her shi—!!!
(….)
(**WHACK!**)
(The Camera quickly zooms in on an anonymous, hood-covered figure who is now standing in the ring, a steel chair in hand, and Milli down on the mat below, all the while Sierra is keeping the referee distracted.)
Stew-O: AND NOW WHO IS THIS?! WHAT IS GOING ON? I CAN’T KEEP UP WITH ANY OF THIS—
(And right then and there, is the exact moment that the figure removes the hood, revealing themself to the world…)
Mei Sasaki: (off-mic) Surprise.
Flannery McCoy: MEI! MEI SASAKI! AND WHY IS *SHE* HERE?!! WHAT IS HER’S, AND SIERRA’S, AFFILIATION WITH SERENITY VALDEZ AND WHY EXACTLY ARE THEY DOING THIS?
Jake Mercer: Well, I don’t think we are going to find out just yet… BUT WE ARE GOING TO SEE EVEN MORE ACTIONS! MILLI IS BACK UP TO HER FEET, AND SHE RUNS AT MEI…
(…..)
Stew-O: NO! NO! NO! MEI SASAKI JUST CAUGHT MILLI BANKS WITH ‘DISINTEGRATION’!!! THE SPINNING HEEL KICK TOOK MILLI’S HEAD RIGHT OFF, AND SERENITY IS LAUGHING AT THIS! WAS THIS A PLAN ALL ALONG?
Flannery McCoy: No… not this way!
(Serenity would be able to crawl over to Milli, as Mei would place her down onto Mili’s deadweight body. She rolls out of the ring, and at the same time, the referee dives back into the ring… and starts the count…)

Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: IT’S OVER!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… AND STILL; EAW SPECIALIST CHAMPION!!!! SERENITY VALDEZ!!!!!!!!!
(‘Enemy’ would begin to blast throughout the arena once more to an explosion of heavy boos, as Serenity Valdez would push herself off of the body of Milli Banks. Both Mei Sasaki and Sierra Bradford would enter the ring, Sierra snatching the Specialist Championship out of the hands of the referee, as she would then hand it to Serenity.)
Flannery McCoy: I do not have a single clue of what is even happening right now. Milli Banks had it won! Serenity had to resort to many cheap tactics to get the upper hand throughout the match, and in the end, it took two whole other people just to keep Milli down for good!
Stew-O: This was an amazing match, there is no doubting that — but the ending seems very questionable. The referee had his hands full with Sierra Bradford on the outside, and that gave Mei Sasaki the opportunity to strike, completely knocking Milli out, so that Serenity could get the pin and retain the Championship.
Jake Mercer: I JUST KNEW SOMETHING LIKE THIS WAS ACTUALLY, REALLY, GOING TO HAPPEN! MY SPIDEY SENSES WERE TINGLING — I COULD JUST SENSE THEY WERE INTERTWINED! I GUESS YOU CAN CALL IT A CAUTION SHIFT! AYE? AYE?!
Stew-O: Stop.
Jake Mercer: sorry
(Serenity would get back up to her feet, with the help of Mei and Sierra, as the three would embrace in the middle of the ring. They all stand side by side by side, Serenity in the middle, as they raise their arms in unison. Milli Banks can be seen on the outside, looking in disappointment, as the camera would finally fade from there.)
(‘Run This Town’ by Jay-Z featuring Rihanna begin to play through the speakers as the crowd showers Serenity Valdez in boos. Serenity has a huge smirk on her face as she trash talks the crowd on her way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME…THE 2023 EMPRESS OF ELITE…SERENITY VALDEZ!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Now, there’s the smug and cocky Serenity Valdez that we all know her to be. She seemed to have fooled the two of you into believing that she had a change of heart.
Flannery McCoy: Can you blame us, Stew? I thought that Milli Banks had talked some sense into her and Serenity had a moment of realization. When she went out there to help out Milli with Shane Gates, I thought that we were witnessing Serenity turning a new leaf, but when she hit Milli with a steel chair, I should have seen it coming.
Jake Mercer: I couldn’t help, but fantasy book there, Stew. In my online wrestling game, Serenity Valdez and Milli Banks are a tag team and had just won the Unified Tag Team Champions against RoViper.
Flannery McCoy: Finally! When you were reading some of the tag teams, I was hoping for someone to put an end to their misery.
Stew-O: Let’s head back to the real world as I’m interested in hearing why Serenity has got to say about last week!
(‘Run This Town’ dies down as Serenity Valdez is hearing the booing of the crowd. The crowd absolutely hates her, but Serenity is embracing the negativity.)
Serenity Valdez: I wasn’t going to let her get away with it. I wasn’t going to let Milli Banks, out of all people, get away with trying to push me around, making baseless accusations that I’ve gone…*soft?* *I* have gone *soft?* Serenity Valdez has gone *soft?*
(Serenity Valdez begins to cackle. The idea of her going soft was nothing more than ridiculous.)
Serenity Valdez: The stories about me going soft are nothing more than exaggerations. It’s nothing more than my haters praying for my downfall once more, but that’s been the recurring theme this season. Every time I show a bit of success, they begin to hate. Their bloods begin to boil at the sight. It doesn’t matter if it’s a Specialists Championship or an Empress of Elite crown, but I remain the most talked about woman on the Dynasty brand. The conversation should be about when I decided to cash in the opportunity to become Universal Women’s Champion. It should be when I decide to crush the world of either Kassidy Heart or Dr. Bethany Blue and take that title for myself. But, those two should be relieved that I didn’t decide to make my presence known because I would have smoked those two with no problem. My journey to Pain for Pride was supposed to be my crowning moment in becoming Universal Women’s Champion. It should be with headlining Pain for Pride, but thanks to Milli, it seems like I took a bit of a detour and each time I seem to, it seems like Milli Banks is ready to rear her ugly head into my business.
Serenity Valdez: It seems like every time I turn, she’s there. She’s there and I hate that. I hate looking at her. I hate hearing her voice. I hate looking at that colorful hair that’s one hair dye job away from falling apart. Milli Banks is the bane of my entire existence. But…she is also the reason why I must win at Pain For Pride. Last week, she tried to tell me that I’ve lost the killer instinct. I lost the drive. I lost my motivation. I lost all of the traits that made me one of the most feared women in this company and I think that’s the dumbest thing that she’s ever said and she’s said a lot of dumb things. The drive is still there. The motivation is still there. The killer instinct, based on last week, has never left. It’s taken a back seat. I really tried my best to keep my composure. Despite having to stoop down to face someone beneath me like I will with Milli, I have done my best to keep myself from going absolutely insane because the thing is: I want Milli to be there at Pain for Pride. I want her to be there, so I get the opportunity to beat the living heck out of her and end this at ‘Karma’s End.’ Maybe then, Milli will finally realize that there was always hierarchy between the two of us and it’s always placed me above her. You see, it doesn’t matter what Milli does to push her weight around. It doesn’t matter what Milli says in an attempt to get underneath my skin because she’s nothing more than an insecure little girl who doesn’t deserve a match against me. Milli Banks needs Serenity Valdez more than Serenity Valdez needs Milli Banks and that’s a fact.
Serenity Valdez: Even on my worst day, I am still the best in this company and I deserve to get respect for that. I deserve respect for making the other women watchable because no one was caring about them beforehand. I deserve the respect from all of you people. I am the Empress of Elite and future Universal Women’s Champion – that right there, deserves recognition because I could be doing something WORTH my time. I could have been the one facing Dr. Bethany Blue for the Universal Women’s Champion. I could have let her and Kassidy Heart beat the heck out of each other before I swoop in and capitalize on the damage they will inevitably do to each other. Instead, I am stuck here fighting Milli. Milli should be grateful that she’s even getting an opportunity like this. Not everyone gets to face their idols, so Milli should thank her lucky stars that she’s facing her biggest idol at Pain for Pride. Milli should be grateful at getting an opportunity like this when she clearly doesn’t deserve it. But, Pain for Pride will serve as another reminder for what happens when Milli Banks and Serenity Valdez stand in the same ring as each other. Milli is going to get her dream crushed when, just like always, Serenity stands tall.
Crowd: WE WANT MILLI! 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿 WE WANT MILLI! 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿 WE WANT MILLI! 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿 WE WANT MILLI! 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿 WE WANT MILLI! 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿 WE WANT MILLI! 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿 WE WANT MILLI! 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿 WE WANT MILLI! 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿 WE WANT MILLI! 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿 WE WANT MILLI! 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿 WE WANT MILLI! 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿
Serenity Valdez: Well, you aren’t going to get her! It’s MY time to talk!
(The crowd begins to boo as Serenity Valdez continues.)
Serenity Valdez: I am only giving you guys the warning that you deserve. At Pain for Pride, it’s going to be another instance of Serenity standing tall. I mean, I asked you all last week? When has Milli ever one-upped me? When has Milli ever gotten one over me? I’m not talking about the Queen Bees. I’m not talking about Mei or Sierra. I’m talking about me! That’s right – never hand it’s going to remain that way. My previous matches mean nothing. I don’t flop when it comes to championship matches. I don’t flop with big opportunities. I don’t flop when the pressure is on. You want the killer instinct? You want the most feared woman in this company? You wanted the REAL Serenity Valdez? You got it. But, be careful what you wish for because you just might –
(Serenity Valdez is cut off as ‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj featuring Lil Wayne begins to blast through the speakers. The crowd pops up to their feet as they wait for the Specialists Champion, Milli Banks to come out.)
Jake Mercer: Where in the world is Milli Banks?
Stew-O: I’m intrigued on how she’s going to respond to all of this.
Flannery McCoy: Well, where is she?
(‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj featuring Lil Wayne continues to play, but there is no sign of Milli Banks walking out. Milli’s entrance music continues to play for a bit longer until you can hear the crowd getting anxious, out of nowhere.)
Jake Mercer: MILLI BANKS CLUBS THE BACK OF SERENITY VALDEZ’ HEAD WITH THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP! FROM OUT OF NOWHERE, MILLI GET ON TOP OF THE EMPRESS OF ELITE AS SHE BEGINS TO THROW PUNCHES DIRECTLY TO HER FACE! BUT, SERENITY TURNS HERSELF AS SHE IS NOW ON TOP OF MILLI AS SHE THROWS PUNCHES OF HER OWN! BUT, MILLI ROLLS HERSELF ON TOP OF SERENITY AS SHE BEGINS TO THROW ELBOWS TO THE FACE OF SERENITY! SERENITY IS TRYING TO SCURRY AWAY FROM THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION!
Stew-O: BUT, MILLI BANKS CHARGES AT SERENITY VALDEZ WITH ‘NO FAKE BILLS HERE’ — THE RUNNING SINGLE LEG HIGH KNEE TO THE EMPRESS OF ELITE! THEN, MILLI WITH THE FRONT FLIP BACKSTABBER — ‘NEW BODY.’ SERENITY IS DROPPED DOWN AS MILLI BANKS IS STANDING TALL OVER SERENITY! MILLI GESTURES FOR A STEEL CHAIR AS THE TIMEKEEPER SIDES HER ONE!
(Milli Banks sets up the steel chair in front of Serenity Valdez. Milli picks up the microphone that Serenity had been using as Milli seems to have a pretty serious look on her face.)
Milli Banks: Thank you.
(The crowd is confused, but they hear Milli Banks.)
Milli Banks: Thank you, Serenity. This is exactly what I wanted from you. I wanted to hear you feel upset about the ‘soft’ accusation. I wanted you to be taken back. I would think that you had lost your drive and killer instinct. Deep down, I hope that you didn’t because it wouldn’t make Pain for Pride as fun as I think it is now. This is exactly what I wanted from you, Seren-ren. You bring this energy to Pain for Pride and you might stand the slightest chance against me. But, right now, it’s me that’s on top now. Perhaps, there’s a first for anything and I’m planning to use all of this momentum to make sure that I’m the one who is going to put an end to this in ‘Karma’s End’…once and for all.
(Milli Banks drops the microphone as ‘Changed It’ begins to play once more. Milli Banks raises the Specialists Championship above her head. Milli still remains seated, looking pretty and all relaxed. She is talking about her stuff as Serenity Valdez is clearly unconscious.)
Stew-O: Milli Banks is looking confident looking into Pain for Pride. She is sit back, looking relaxed and ready for Serenity Valdez.
Flannery McCoy: The Specialists Champion looks so calm in this situation. Serenity Valdez tried to get underneath the skin of Milli Banks and has been since this whole ordeal with the two of them, but Milli is ready. She looks prepared now and she’s going to be more prepared in about a week now. If this is foreshadowing of something, Milli could retain it here.
Jake Mercer: I love Big Bills Mills like everyone else, but do not count out a motivated and cunning Empress of Elite. Serenity Valdez is going to be the one to watch for in this match. If any of Milli Banks’ words have done anything to Serenity, it’s to bring out the killer instinct. I think that Serenity might have this, but we’ll see Pain for Pride!
[SCREENBAR: Andre Walker vs Bronson Daniels – World Heavyweight Championship – Justified Reckoning 2022]
(The camera then goes to the ring where Stephie Love is seen with a microphone in her hands ready to announce the match!)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is a SINGLES MATCH!!! And it is for the EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Runnin’ by 21 Savage & Metro Boomin is then heard playing up with the crowd cheering loudly for Bronson Daniels who is seen making his way out to the stage. He looks around with a smirk on his face, pointing around and taking a moment to hype the crowd up excitedly. He then looks toward the stage, taking a moment to compose himself, before a look of determination sinks in and he begins to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring from there.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, the challenger… residing in Los Angeles, California… weighing in at 210 pounds… ‘THE CENTERPIECE’… BRONSON DANIELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Since his return there has been nothing truly like Bronson Daniels inside that squared circle. He has shown out and proved himself against some of the best, but tonight he finds himself facing off against the ultimate test. We know his aspirations, we know that he desires the World Heavyweight Championship, and tonight he has the chance to capture it, but will he be able to succeed??? Honestly, I don’t think Bronson is going to leave until that happens.
Jake Mercer: 🤐🤐🤐
(‘Leaving Caladan’ by Hans Zimmer is then heard playing up with the camera going toward the stage, the crowd being greeted tonight by Andre Walker which leads them to erupt into loud and rejoiceful boos. Albert Hitchman follows closely behind him with the World Heavyweight Championship, handing it to Andre before allowing him to raise it high into the air, with loud and elaborate pyro shooting out behind him. Albert then goes to head back to the backstage area, while Andre places his Championship onto his shoulder and begins to make his march toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… from The Isle of Samoa… weighing in at 245 pounds… he is the EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!!! ‘THE METHOD’… ANDRE WALKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: YESSUH! NOW WE’RE TALKING! THERE AIN’T NOBODY LIKE HIM FOLKS! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ‘THE KAISER’ IS HERE AND HE’S NOT PLAYING AROUND.
Flannery McCoy: Well if there’s one thing I can agree with, it’s the fact that he’s not playing around. For the past few weeks Andre has been disrespected by Bronson and on multiple occasions that has reached its boiling point. And now they get to settle it in the ring, but is Bronson asking for too much? Look who he’s stepping into the ring with, he’s facing Andre Walker. It’s certainly going to be interesting to see how this match plays out that’s one thing I can say for certain.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the moment you’ve been waiting for. Andre Walker, Bronson Daniels, the main event of Justified Reckoning for the World Heavyweight Championship is NOW!
Flannery McCoy: AND RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE ANDRE AND BRONSON EXPLODE OUT OF THEIR CORNERS TRADING PUNCHES WITH ONE ANOTHER! This match has been a long time coming for the both of them extending past this Season, and I’m sure they’d love nothing more than to get their hands on the other! Andre goes under and connects with a boot to the abdomen, before seizing him by the arm and sending him toward the opposite pair of ropes… GOING FOR A BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE- But Bronson manages to duck under that before running toward the ropes again… USING THE ROPES TO GO FOR A HANDSPRING BACK ELBOW!
Jake Mercer: BUT ANDRE SEES IT COMING AND CLOCKS HIM WITH A FOREARM SHOT TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! Bronson is dazed on both feet, WHILE ANDRE GRABS HIM AROUND HIS WAIST FROM BEHIND AND DROPS HIM DOWN WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! HE BRIDGES IT FOR AN EARLY PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE-
Stew-O: THE REF CAN BARELY COUNT ONE BEFORE BRONSON KICKS OUT! Both Elitists scramble up to their feet, and Bronson is met with a palm uppercut by the World Heavyweight Champion! He’s left stunned momentarily while Andre has him by the wrist, PULLING HIM IN AND THIS TIME GOING FOR A SAITO SUPLEX- BUT BRONSON USES THE MOMENTUM TO FLIP HIMSELF OVER AND LAND ON HIS FEET! Andre pushes himself up to a knee, BUT BRONSON HAS HIM BY BOTH ARMS! HE’S GOING FOR ‘COUPLE GOALS’! DOUBLE WRIST LOCK KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE OF ANDRE TO CATCH HIM OFF GUARD!
Flannery McCoy: TO TAKE DOWN ‘THE KAISER’ YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO MORE THAN THAT! ANDRE MANAGES TO MOVE HIS HEAD OUT OF THE WAY! Bronson is left with nothing but air and is pulled right into Andre picking him right up onto his shoulders and getting himself back on two feet… SPINNING HIM AROUND AND PLANTING HIM DOWN WITH AN ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! ANDRE TRIES TO GO FOR THE PIN AGAIN BUT BRONSON POWERS OUT BEFORE THE REFEREE CAN EVEN BEGIN THE COUNT!
Jake Mercer: Bronson knows the type of situation he found himself in and instinctively rolls out of the ring and down to the ringside area, as it should be. Once again I just can’t believe someone like Bronson Daniels found himself in such a prestigious situation like this, going one-on-one with one of the best wrestlers that this business has to offer. He’s nowhere near the quality that holding the World Heavyweight Championship is asking for, and seeing as he’s a coward now trying to get out of this match, he’s only proving my point.
Stew-O: Don’t be like that, Jake. Bronson Daniels has been a star since returning to the Friday Night Dynasty brand, in fact, I think he’s better than ever since returning. He talked about how before his break he wasn’t in the zone, and he wasn’t giving the effort that he needed to. But despite that he still went out there and shone under the bright lights, getting World Championship opportunities and capturing both the New Breed Championship and the Interwire Championship. Whether you like it or not, he’s earned his stripes and deserves to be in this position that he’s in right now tonight at Justified Reckoning.
Flannery McCoy: Well, Andre could certainly attest to that, and that’s what it looks like he’s doing as he drops down and rolls out of the ring. Bronson is grabbing onto the edge of the barricade and bringing himself up, BUT NOT BEFORE ANDRE GOES UNDER AND GRABS HIM BY THE WAIST BEFORE RAMMING HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE! Bronson’s spine has to be aching right now, while Andre keeps his grip and turns him around… BEFORE RUNNING HIM INTO THE EDGE OF THE RING APRON THIS TIME!
OONNEE!!
TTWWOO!!
Jake Mercer: Bronson is holding on by a thread, see I told you. That’s not good especially considering that Andre looks far from done in his assault, letting go of him and perhaps setting him up for something big. Once again, he has him up on his shoulders, and I think we know what he might have in mind as well following that… HE’S LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH AN APRON POWERBOMB! BRONSON DANIELS IS DEAD IN THE DARN WATER!
Stew-O: DESPITE YOUR WISHES THAT’S NOT HAPPENING JAKE! Bronson shows that he still has some lift in him and begins to slam repeated punches down onto the head of Andre! Andre is trying his best to keep him up and follow through with the move, but that’s proving to be an issue, especially considering Bronson’s assault is leaving him defenseless in its wake! ANDRE LOOKS TO GO THROUGH IT ANYWAY- BUT BRONSON WAS LEFT WITH ENOUGH TIME TO REACH OUT AND GRAB THE TOP ROPE BEFORE PULLING HIMSELF ONTO THE APRON!
Flannery McCoy: Bronson invades immediate danger, BUT ANDRE IS QUICK ON HIS FEET ATTEMPTING TO SWEEP THE LEGS AND KNOCK HIM BACK DOWN- BUT BRONSON JUMPS OVER THAT BEFORE SENDING A BOOT STRAIGHT TO THE FACE OF ANDRE! Andre stumbles back but manages to compose himself, ONLY FOR BRONSON TO LEAP OFF OF THE APRON AND CONNECT WITH A METEORA TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! WHAT A MOVE TO TURN THE TIDE COURTESY OF BRONSON DANIELS!
TTHHRREEEE!!
FFOOUURR!!
FFIIVVEE!!
SSIIXX!!
Jake Mercer: But that idiot needs to understand that they’re at risk of being counted out here. Thank Gawd he decided to rub his two brain cells together and actually bring this fight back into the ring. Andre is slowly getting up, but Bronson already has him by the head and rolls him into the ring. It’s clear that Andre is not in the best of shape right now and if Bronson is able to keep this up he may be able to close this one out quicker than anticipated. He jumps onto the apron, patiently waiting for Andre to get up which is what begins to happen, Bronson sets him up… GOING FOR A SPRINGBOARD KNEE STRIKE IN HOPES OF TAKING HIM BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Stew-O: BUT ANDRE CATCHES HIM WITH A PUNCH TO THE ABDOMEN! That leaves Bronson staggering down to a knee but trying to push up to get back up to his feet, ONLY FOR ANDRE TO ABSOLUTELY CLOBBER HIM WITH A LARIAT TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD NOW! The World Heavyweight Champion practically sneers in disgust before turning Bronson over onto his back, mounting on top of him, and beginning to fire away with punches toward his face! Bronson is too taken aback to defend as these shots have to be absolutely rattling him right now! The referee steps in to stop this, but Andre isn’t satisfied with his work despite that bringing Bronson back up to his feet before sending him toward the ropes with an Irish whip… LIFTING HIM UP OFF HIS FEET AND CONNECTING WITH A SAMOAN DROP! ANDRE GOES FOR THE PIN ONCE AGAIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO-
Flannery McCoy: NOPE! NOT YET! BRONSON MANAGES TO KICK OUT ONCE MORE! Despite this still being relatively early, you can see the frustration beginning to build on the face of Andre Walker. He didn’t expect Bronson Daniels to be such a tough opponent to keep down, and I think that notion was created with the last two matches that they’ve had with one another. But it’s like what Stew said, this is a whole different, much improved Bronson who is really for the bright lights. He’s not going to be someone to sleep on and Andre is going to have to realize that before it bites him in the butt and costs him this match.
Jake Mercer: Andre is back up to his feet and with a change of pace decides not to bring Bronson up as well, letting him do so on his own accord and instead falling back into the corner. He’s shaking his wrist, patiently waiting for his challenger to get back up to his feet, and I think we have a clue of what he’s going for right now. The move that has absolutely devastated some of the best Elitists in the past, and one that might be the beginning of the end for Bronson Daniels’ World Championship aspirations… ANDRE SPRINTS FORWARD AND LEAPS 10 FEET INTO THE AIR FOR ‘KAISER’S TOUCH’! A BEAUTIFUL SUPERMAN PUNCH CONNECTS FLUSH AGAINST THE JAW OF BRONSON!
Stew-O: WAIT! WAIT! BRONSON MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND COUNTERS WITH A SUPERMAN PUNCH OF HIS OWN! ‘BATMAN PUNCH’ CONNECTS DROPPING ANDRE WALKER AS BRONSON DANIELS BARELY MUSTERS OUT THE ENERGY TO HIT THAT BIG MOVE! BRONSON COLLAPSES DOWN TO THE MAT DRAPED OVER THE BODY OF ANDRE! SHOULDERS DOWN! PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRR-
Flannery McCoy: ANDRE SHOOTS THE SHOULDER UP! THIS MATCH CONTINUES!
(Bronson slowly rolls off of the body of Andre Walker and instantly begins to scratch and claw the canvas to inch himself toward the ropes. Already this match has taken so much out of him, so much that it shows, and it looks to be taking its toll on Andre as well. Andre has his arm stretched out still, finding the energy inside him to get back up to his feet as the two of them find themselves in an intense race to see who can beat the other to their feet.)
Jake Mercer: Bronson is clutching onto the bottom rope for dear life, trying to catch his breath before reaching out and grabbing for the other pair of ropes to get himself back up to his feet. Meanwhile, Andre has both hands planted against the canvas and is beginning to push back up as well, and it’s clear the two of them aren’t going to meet pleasant sights once they recover. Bronson recovers, and Andre follows close behind, WITH BRONSON RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A LEAPING CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD OF ANDRE- But just narrowly does Andre duck under that, snatching hold of the arm of Bronson before turning him around and sending him toward the corner with an Irish whip. Andre then sets him up while Bronson struggles to keep himself up… DASHING FORWARD AND LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A CORNER CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD!
Stew-O: WHICH DOESN’T HAPPEN WITH BRONSON MANAGING TO BRING HIMSELF UP AND CONNECT WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE OF ANDRE! The Champ stumbles backward and dips down to a kneeling position, while Bronson climbs up to the middle rope and looks to set him up… BUT ANDRE MANAGES TO USE A BURST OF ENERGY TO GET BACK UP AND CONNECT WITH A PALM UPPERCUT! Bronson goes limp and falls off of the middle turnbuckle, but Andre keeps him up and instead lifts him up, and places him down on the top instead! Bronson is in a precarious position right now, with no idea what Andre might have in mind for him if what happens does indeed happen.
Flannery McCoy: Bronson begins to stir, but before that can happen it’s Andre that shuts him down with punches toward the head! He’s trying to weaken him up before he can even come close to attempting whatever he has in mind, and it looks like he’s set on it beginning to climb onto the turnbuckles now and join Bronson on top! He looks to go for something, but Bronson begins to fight back as well beginning to ram repeated forearm shots toward the head of Andre to derail him before he can even attempt whatever he has in mind right here. Bronson continues to fend off the horde, BUT THAT DOESN’T LAST MUCH LONGER WITH ANDRE CRACKING A HEADBUTT AGAINST THE SKULL OF BRONSON! Andre then locks in a front facelock and begins to set him up… HE’S GOING FOR A SUPERPLEX!
Jake Mercer: ONCE AGAIN DOESN’T HAPPEN! Bronson in prime position still shows some fight left in him now beginning to connect with punches toward the side of Andre to get him to stop before he can go for what is bound to be a huge Superplex sending the two of them crashing down to the canvas. Andre is ultimately forced to release the hold and force himself to continue his assault, BUT BEFORE HE CAN GO FOR ONE MORE HEADBUTT HE’S REELED RIGHT INTO A SHARP UPPERCUT BY BRONSON! This leaves Andre stunned while Bronson brings up his boot, PRESSING IT UP AGAINST HIS CHEST AND PUSHING HIM OFF OF THE TOP ROPE! SENDING HIM TUMBLING DOWN TO THE GROUND! Bronson is a lone man on the top rope… LEAPING OFF AND GOING FOR A DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO ABSOLUTELY LEVEL THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION NOW!
Stew-O: BUT ANDRE MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! Bronson lands awkwardly while Andre gets back up to his feet, GOING FOR A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE! But Bronson manages to grab it just in time and push it away! Andre then collects himself, ONLY TO FALL RIGHT INTO A SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK! ‘CHROME HEART TAGS’ COURTESY OF BRONSON DANIELS CONNECTS!
Flannery McCoy: ANDRE BLOCKS IT WITH HIS FOREARM SENDING BRONSON DOWN TO A KNEE IN PAIN! Quick and easy counter by Andre to get himself out of that situation as he bursts into a dead sprint toward the ropes and back… BEFORE FINALLY MANAGING TO CONNECT WITH ‘KAISER’S TOUCH’! THE SUPERMAN PUNCH TO THE FACE IMMEDIATELY DROPS BRONSON DOWN TO THE GROUND WHILE ANDRE DROPS DOWN AS WELL AND WASTES NO TIME HOOKING THE LEG! COULD WE SEE ANDRE WALKER CONTINUE HIS ILLUSTRIOUS WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN RIGHT HERE AND NOW???
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE-
Jake Mercer: BUT UNFORTUNATELY BRONSON DANIELS HAS SOME FIGHT LEFT IN HIM AS HE MANAGES TO KICK OUT!
(Andre rolls off of Bronson and into a seated position, running his hands through his hair for a short moment before sighing, shaking his head as he gets back up to his feet. Meanwhile, Bronson is clutching at his right leg, trying to alleviate the obvious pain that he’s going through right now. After the rough landing of his double foot stomp attempt, combined with Andre’s tough counter against the ‘Chrome Heart Tags’ Spinning Roundhouse Kick, in such a short time Bronson’s leg has clearly gone through it and he needs to shake that off before Andre Walker sees that as an inevitable target throughout this match.)
Stew-O: Andre can’t help but be frustrated by this, this is not at all the way he expected this match to go, and clearly he’s learning that he’s going to have to pull off something big to put the nail in the coffin and retain his World Heavyweight Championship. He makes his way over to Bronson, and instead of bringing him up properly he instead wraps his arm around his waist and heaves him with ease back up to his feet. He then sets him up, BEFORE LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX TO SEND HIM FLYING ACROSS THE RING- But that doesn’t happen with Bronson managing to send punches flying at his head in hopes of forcing him to release! Andre clearly is in shock that Bronson has managed to fight back this much this quickly especially after being taken down with the Superman Punch, and ultimately is forced to shove away to respond!
Flannery McCoy: Bronson is against the ropes, barely managing to keep himself up, BUT IMMEDIATELY HE REBOUNDS OFF OF THEM AND GOES FOR A DISCUS LARIAT TOWARD THE HEAD OF ANDRE- BUT ANDRE DUCKS UNDER THAT BEFORE GRABBING HIM FROM BEHIND AND ATTEMPTING TO CONNECT WITH A BACK SUPLEX- DOESN’T HAPPEN! Bronson connects with a back elbow this time that forces him away, BEFORE SPINNING AROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A ROUGH ENZUGIRI TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! This drops Andre down to a knee while Bronson immediately turns around and runs to the ropes, knowing what he has to do… GRABBING THE HEAD OF ANDRE AND PLANTING HIM FACEFIRST WITH A RUNNING STO!
Jake Mercer: Andre is taken down and you can see his eyes widen knowing that Bronson has slowly shifted himself back into control for this one. Bronson begins to make his way over and grab the World Heavyweight Champion by the head, looking to continue his assault- BUT ANDRE WITH A SWIFT KICK TO THE RIGHT KNEECAP OF BRONSON DANIELS LEAVES HIM HURTING! Remember, Bronson found himself hurt after the attack earlier and now it seems like a lightbulb has switched on in the head of Andre, and now he’s using that to his advantage. Bronson has turned and stumbled away trying his best to recover while Andre is back up to his feet, BEFORE HE SLIDES DOWN AND CONNECTS WITH A PERFECTLY EXECUTED CHOP BLOCK THAT LEAVES BRONSON IN A KNEELING POSITION!
Stew-O: Look at the calculated moves of Andre Walker, just slowly beginning to pick apart the challenger and make sure that he makes it harder for him to retaliate, and that injured leg of his might just be the key to that. Bronson takes a wild swing, but before that can happen it’s Andre that connects with a huge axe handle! That rocks Bronson momentarily, but before Andre can do anything he manages to push through the defenses and connect with an elbow to the abdomen of the World Heavyweight Champion. That momentarily creates some distance between the two Elitists and that’s essential, especially for Bronson in his current state. He gets back up and looks to take a gamble approaching Andre, BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING ANDRE SNATCHES HIM BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP INTO THE AIR AND PLANTING HIM DOWN WITH AN EMPHATIC URANAGE!
Flannery McCoy: Bronson is down while Andre drops downward as well and wastes no time locking in a grounded headlock on the canvas! Andre knows that his best option is to keep Bronson on the ground, continue to weaken him and make sure that he doesn’t have a chance to counter the way that he has in this match. It’s like with every move that Andre has made Bronson has fired back with some of his own and that’s something that the Champion needs to avoid if he wants to walk out of this one as the winner. Bronson struggles to escape especially with the sheer power that Andre has under his belt, but he manages to push his legs upward and bring himself up to a seated position. That loosens the grip on Andre a bit more and also allows Bronson to slip his arm through and begin to send punches toward his face! Andre ultimately releases knowing it’s not worth it before Bronson gets back up, BUT ANDRE KICKS HIS LEGS OUT FROM BENEATH HIM DROPPING BRONSON DOWN TO THE MAT! Bronson immediately clutches at the right leg as he brings himself upward into a seated position, BUT ANDRE DROPS DOWN AND CONNECTS WITH A FALLING FOREARM TO THE HEAD TO MAKE SURE THAT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER HE DOES STAY DOWN!
Jake Mercer: ONCE AGAIN, THAT’S WHY HE’S THE GOAT! THAT’S WHY HE’S THE MVP! Bronson Daniels has no idea who he’s up against tonight and it shows, which is why, as mentioned, Andre Walker, ‘The Kaiser’, is just going to continue to pick him apart until there is absolutely no more of him. Let me say this right now, he is cooked, he is history as we speak, and tonight we’re going to be seeing Andre Walker walk out STILL the World Heavyweight Champion that’s gospel right there.
Stew-O: Bronson is down on the mat and right now things are not going well for him, but there’s always going to be a chance to turn things around and all he needs to do is find the right moment which should not be so hard for him. But the thing is, Andre Walker is going to make sure that is difficult regardless as he grabs him by the arm and brings him back up to his feet, sending him toward the ropes with an Irish whip… but before he can do anything it’s Bronson that manages to grab a hold of the ropes and keep himself in place. Once again, it’s Bronson that shows that there’s still some fight left in him, AND THAT’S SOMETHING THAT ANDRE DOES NOT WANT RUNNING FORWARD AND LOOKING TO SEND HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A CLOTHESLINE!
Flannery McCoy: BUT BEFORE THAT CAN HAPPEN IT’S BRONSON THAT PULLS DOWN THE TOP ROPE AND SENDS ANDRE FLYING OVER! The World Heavyweight Champion stumbles downward on the outside, falling against the barricade to keep himself up definitely not expecting Bronson to respond the way he did. But he shouldn’t be worried about that more so whatever he has in mind now, with Bronson turning around and running toward the ropes… LOOK AT THAT HEIGHT! BRONSON LEAPS OVER THE TOP ROPE AND DROPS BOTH HIM AND ANDRE DOWN WITH A BACK PLANCHA!
(Bronson pops himself up to his feet and immediately hypes up the crowd, feeding off their energy as they go absolutely nuts for him tonight in New Zealand. He makes a Championship gesture around his waist before looking down at Andre, seeing that he’s already beginning to recover and knowing that he has to do something fast.)
Jake Mercer: He got lucky that time, but he won’t get away with it now that’s what I’ll say. Bronson slides back into the ring while Andre is getting back up to his feet, and what the hell is he doing going up to the top rope like that??? Bronson is all the way up there on the top turnbuckle, meanwhile, Andre is still trying to gain his bearings on the outside in hopes of fighting back whatever Bronson Daniels has in mind here… BUT IT’S TOO LATE AS BRONSON SOARS OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND LOOKS TO TAKE BOTH HIM AND ANDRE DOWN ONCE AGAIN THIS TIME WITH AN AERIAL MOONSAULT!
Stew-O: DOESN’T HAPPEN! ANDRE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY LEAVING BRONSON TO CRASH AND BURN ON THE OUTSIDE! WHAT A ROUGH LANDING BY BRONSON AND ANDRE LOOKS TO ADD SALT TO THE WOUNDS BY BRINGING HIM UP TO HIS FEET AND ABSOLUTELY SLAMMING HIM INTO THE BARRICADE WITH AUTHORITY!
Flannery McCoy: Bronson completely crumbles down and you can tell that did a whole lot of damage to him. Andre now grabs him and pushes him back into the ring before the referee can even consider starting a count. Bronson probably has absolutely no clue where he is right now and that does a whole lot of favors for Andre who has slid into the ring and found himself backed against the corner, and we know what he could be going for here if he needs this running start. The move that has crushed the aspirations of thou who stand before him, and the move that might possibly end any sort of chance that Bronson Daniels has at winning this match. Andre is shouting at the top of his lungs trying to get Bronson to get back up to his feet, as he looks to deliver the killing blow…
Jake Mercer: ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE’! SPEAR TO BRONSON DANIELS NEARLY IMPALES THAT POOR MAN IN HALF!
Stew-O: BRONSON! BRONSON JUST LEAPFROGGED OVER THE SPEAR ATTEMPT! ANDRE SLIDES DOWN TO THE GROUND WHILE BRONSON IS BACK UP TO HIS FEET! HE TURNS AROUND AND SETS HIS SIGHTS ON ANDRE…
Flannery McCoy: ANDRE YOU JUST GOT YOUR GODDAMN HEAD KNOCKED OFF! THE ELBOW TO THE BACK OF ANDRE WALKER’S HEAD KNOCKS HIM OUT COLD! NO WAY THIS IS HOW IT ENDS! NO WAY! BRONSON DROPS DOWN AND GOES FOR THE PIN! COULD WE POSSIBLY BE SEEING A NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
…
…
Jake Mercer: YES! NOT JUST YET! ANDRE KICKS OUT!
(Bronson immediately shoots up to a seated position, absolutely shocked at what just happened. He checks with the referee for reassurance, in which he is given an answer with two fingers being held up. He just pulled out one of the biggest moves in his arsenal and somehow, someway, Andre Walker managed to fight through that and kick out. He can’t believe it and is most importantly left wondering what else could he possibly do in a situation like this. His back is against the wall and he’s going to have to find a way to fight back against Andre before he can get his bearings, and most importantly his footing, back into this match.)
Stew-O: If there was ever a question of the lengths that Andre Walker would go through to keep his World Heavyweight Championship, well folks, there’s your answer. This match continues and right now Bronson just can’t believe his eyes. The two of them have gone through a who’s who of pain and agony so far and despite that still manage to find themselves up and running through all of that. Quite frankly, it’s actually remarkable and a testament to the World Championship division here on Friday Night Dynasty.
Flannery McCoy: Nonetheless Bronson Daniels wants to prove that he’s on top of that and in order to do so he needs to keep the ball rolling. He is already back up on his feet and is beginning to rip his right elbow pad right off of his arm, and I guess if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. He’s going for his big move one more time and the question remains whether or not Andre will find a way out of it, or Bronson will be able to possibly connect with such a move one more time to put a cap on this match. Andre is seen beginning to get back up again, with Bronson still leaning against the corner knowing that he needs to wait for the perfect opportunity to strike here, primed and ready…
Jake Mercer: GOING FOR ONE MORE ELBOW TO THE BACK OF ANDRE’S HEAD! C’MON ANDRE! DODGE THIS!
Stew-O: HE DOES! ANDRE GOES RIGHT UNDER THAT AND SCOOPS THE LEG! HE HAS AN ANKLE LOCK LOCKED IN! ANKLE LOCK ON THE HURT RIGHT LEG! THE RONAN MALOSI ENDER IS LOCKED IN AND LOCKED IN TIGHT AND BRONSON HAS NOWHERE TO GO! YOU CAN SEE THE PAIN JUST ABSOLUTELY EATING HIM ALIVE RIGHT NOW AS ANDRE GOES BACK TO TEARING APART THAT LEG LIMB FROM LIMB!
Flannery McCoy: Most people would’ve been finished by now, especially after everything that Bronson has gone through, but he quite simply refuses! And let me just say you will never see someone fight as hard as Bronson Daniels has in this match, it really shows just how much he craves that World Championship and especially beating someone like Andre Walker who has haunted him for a good majority of his career! From losing the New Breed Championship to him in his rookie Season to facing a much more evolved version, a new ‘Kaiser’ for the Interwire Championship, and furthermore losing, the last thing he wants to do is let this opportunity slip away from him! He’s been fighting so long and hard for this, why give up now?! What is it going to take even! That leg has to be done right now but Bronson simply refuses! He doesn’t care what he has to go through, he WILL win this!
Jake Mercer: But you forgot to mention that this is Andre goddamn Walker that you’re talking about. He is a merciless killer and will show no remorse even if you have the heart to show when you’re standing across the ring from him because he will absolutely crush it if it means getting ahead in this sport. He is at the epitome of this entire damn company for a reason and that is because he doesn’t take anything from anyone, and this puny leedle man is surely no exception to the rule when it comes to it. I don’t care what Bronson Daniels has in store for him, he is going to die at the hands of ‘The Kaiser’.
Stew-O: SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY JAKE BUT I DON’T THINK BRONSON IS GOING TO ACCEPT THAT SO LIGHTLY! HE’S SCRATCHING AND CLAWING TOWARD THE ROPES EVEN IF THAT MEANS MUSTERING THE STRENGTH TO KEEP THIS HOLD LOCKED IN JUST A BIT LONGER! YOU CAN SEE ANDRE RIPPING APART THAT ANKLE AND TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT EVEN IF HE DOES GET OUT OF THIS THERE IS IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO AN ALREADY RED-MARKED TARGET! BRONSON IS CONTINUING TO CRAWL, AND HE’S ALMOST THERE! IS HE GOING TO MAKE IT OR WILL ENOUGH BE ENOUGH FOR HIM RIGHT HERE???
Flannery McCoy: HE’S THERE! BRONSON SNATCHES A HOLD OF THE BOTTOM ROPE AND CLINGS TO IT FOR DEAR LIFE! WITH ANDRE WALKER IS FORCED TO LET GO OF THE HOLD BEFORE HE CAN DO ANY FURTHER DAMAGE!
(Andre keeps the hold locked to the fullest extent, forcing the referee to step in and start the five count, with Andre only releasing when it gets to the count of four. He holds his hands up and steps back to the center of the ring, meanwhile, Bronson, in more pain than ever, is clutching at his right leg and gritting his teeth trying to fight through it. Andre, with the slightest smirk on his face, gestures for Bronson to get back up to his feet so this match can continue.)
Jake Mercer: That’s the confidence that we NEED from Andre Walker, better yet, that’s the confidence that Bronson Daniels doesn’t have. I will give it to him, he does have that dawg in him, I can see him getting up right now, but let me tell you it will all be for nothing when Andre hits that Spear and pins him for the three. Bronson is back up to his feet now, AND IMMEDIATELY HE LAUNCHES TOWARD ANDRE AND BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON HIM WITH REPEATED RIGHT-HAND STRIKES! WASTING NO TIME GOING UP AGAINST THE CHAMP!
Stew-O: He wants to prove that Andre’s reign is on borrowed time and to keep pushing and showing that perseverance is the way to do that! Andre is overwhelmed right now by the sudden attack of Bronson Daniels which pushes him up against the ropes! Bronson then has him by the arm before sending him toward the opposite pair of ropes… LYING IN WAIT BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK SQUARE TO THE CHEST OF ANDRE DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Bronson isn’t done though with Andre managing to bring himself up to a seated position, which leaves him the perfect opportunity… TO STEP FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A LEFT-LEGGED PENALTY KICK WHICH ABSOLUTELY LIGHTS UP ANDRE’S CHEST!
Flannery McCoy: Andre is just gasping for air right now and you can see that he’s struggling to get back up, once again, that’s just this match beginning to get the better of him and you can tell. Meanwhile, Bronson has just had a fire lit under him and he looks to take advantage of that in the best way possible. He runs toward the ropes and back… ‘FLYING BRONSONS’! BOOM DROP!
Jake Mercer: ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE’ THE SPEAR CONNECTS! NOBODY HAS KICKED OUT OF THIS MOVE!
Stew-O: ANDRE HAS BRONSON DOWN ON THE CANVAS AND IMMEDIATELY HE BEGINS TO SCRATCH AND CLAW HIS WAY OVER! EVEN THOUGH HE JUST CONNECTED WITH A HUGE DIFFERENCE MAKER RIGHT NOW THAT COULD VERY WELL FINISH THIS MATCH THAT DID TAKE A LOT OUT OF HIM! ANDRE WITH A GASP OF ENERGY PUSHES HIMSELF FORWARD AND PINS BRONSON TO THE MAT FOR THE THREE COUNT!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! BRONSON JUST ROLLED OUT OF THE RING BEFORE HE COULD! BRONSON DANIELS HAS JUST SAVED HIMSELF FROM TROUBLE AND ANDRE WALKER CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT HE’S SEEING RIGHT NOW!
(Andre’s eyes widen as his arms outstretched toward the outside of the ring, but it’s too late with Bronson having plopped down to the ringside area, almost completely out of it but not enough to prevent him from getting out of that situation. If there’s one thing that the two of them could very well agree on, it’s the fact that would’ve been the end of the match right there. Andre would’ve won and there would be no ifs and buts about it. But it didn’t happen, and of course, which has been a common trend throughout this match so far, this match continues.)
Jake Mercer: Andre is not wasting any time dropping right under the bottom rope and getting out of the ring, looking to get his hands on Bronson more than anything else. He grabs his head and brings him up to his feet, but that moment of leeway that Bronson had was enough for him to break free of the attack and begin to send a barrage of punches his way! Andre is taken aback by this immediately but quickly breaks through with a sharp knee toward the abdomen! He then goes under, LIFTING BRONSON UP AND SLAMMING HIM INTO THE BARRICADE! Bronson gives a cry of pain before Andre rolls him back into the ring, beginning to follow as he slides back in himself…
Stew-O: WAIT! BRONSON REACHES AND GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD BEFORE PULLING HIM INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE! PIN! NOT THIS WAY! NOT THIS WAY!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
…
…
Flannery McCoy: BUT ANDRE KICKS OUT! BRONSON MAY HAVE CAUGHT HIM BY SURPRISE BUT HE JUST IN TIME SAVES THIS MATCHUP!
Jake Mercer: GOOD LORD! YES! Both of them quickly get back up to their feet and frankly I just don’t know how that’s possible at all. ANDRE GOES FOR A LARIAT TO THE HEAD- But Bronson manages to duck under that as the both of them turn around to face one another, only for him to connect with a spin kick to the abdomen which leaves Andre reeling for the moment! Bronson then turns around and runs toward the ropes… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A HIGH KNEE STRIKE TO THE HEAD TO TAKE ANDRE DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Stew-O: Andre pushes himself backward and toward the corner, grabbing onto the ropes to get himself back up to his feet and leaning against the turnbuckle padding to prop himself up. But it looks like it’s on sight for Bronson as he runs toward him… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH AN ABSOLUTELY RATTLING CLOTHESLINE TOWARD THE HEAD! Bronson then has him by the arm and sends him toward the opposite corner, turning around again… RUNNING TOWARD HIM AND LAUNCHING HIMSELF FORWARD AGAIN WITH ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE!
Flannery McCoy: Bronson now has Andre by the head and throws him down toward the center of the ring, leaving the ring and getting onto the apron before making his way up to the top rope. It’s a risky move to be going for an aerial assault against someone as tricky and smart as Andre Walker, but Bronson is willing to take the risk as he waits for Andre to get back up to his feet so he can set him up… BRONSON LEAPS OFF OF THE TOP AND LOOKS TO TAKE ANDRE DOWN WITH A CROSSBODY! NOT! ANDRE MANAGES TO CATCH HIM IN THE AIR AND HAVE HIM UP IN HIS ARMS! ANDRE THEN SETS HIM UP AS HE POPS HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY AND LOOKS TO DROP HIM DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS WITH A SAMOAN DROP!
Jake Mercer: BUT BRONSON MANAGES TO LAND BEHIND ANDRE AND SHOVE HIM AWAY! Andre falls against the ropes, BUT PUSHES OFF OF THEM BEFORE SPINNING AROUND AND GOING FOR A BIG BOOT TO BRONSON’S FACE! But Bronson ducks under them before running toward the ropes… A SECOND CROSSBODY THIS TIME CONNECTS BUT IT’S OFF OF A SPRINGBOARD THAT COMPLETELY LEVELS ANDRE!
Stew-O: I don’t know what happened in between all of this, but Bronson Daniels has just gotten an insane burst of energy right now and I can’t believe my eyes. Andre looks to derail that though as Bronson grabs him by the head, GOING FOR A SHORT-ARM CLOTHESLINE TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS- BUT ANDRE DOESN’T HAVE TIME FOR THAT AS HE INSTEAD REELS HIS HEAD BACK AND CONNECTS WITH AN ABSOLUTELY SICKENING HEADBUTT WHICH DROPS BRONSON DOWN TO A KNEELING POSITION! Andre then pulls him in and looks to set him up while he has the opportunity… LIFTING HIM OFF OF THE CANVAS AND THIS TIME SLAMMING HIM DOWN WITH A POWERBOMB!
Flannery McCoy: Andre isn’t done though as he grabs Bronson by the head and lifts him up again, BEFORE GOING FOR ANOTHER POWERBOMB THIS TIME TO DROP HIM- But Bronson immediately begins to send punches toward the head of Andre! Andre is barely able to keep him up right now as Bronson continues to show that there is indeed still some fight left in him and that’s going to be an issue for the Champion. Andre refuses to let go, but that’s not going to be an issue as Bronson propels himself over the head of Andre and lands behind him! Andre turns around, ONLY TO BE MET BY A STUNNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK WHICH DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Jake Mercer: Bronson falls backward into the ropes grabbing his spine, just look at that face of pure exasperation he’s showing right now. But even after everything in this match he’s just showing an absolutely insane amount of perseverance in the face of adversity. Andre is slowly beginning to get back up as well and Bronson realizes that and begins to make his way toward him as well. Bronson grabs Andre by the arm and sends him toward the ropes… dropdown… leapfrog…
Stew-O: ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE’!
Flannery McCoy: NO! BRONSON COUNTERS THE SPEAR INTO A SNAP DDT- BUT ANDRE MANAGES TO KEEP THE BOTH OF THEM UP AND PREVENT A FULL EXECUTION! Bronson has him in a front facelock and is trying to instead drop his weight and pull Andre down to the ground, BUT INSTEAD ANDRE HAS HIM AROUND THE WAIST AND IS MUSCLING HIM UP BEFORE RUNNING HIM TOWARD AND RAMMING HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING! Bronson gives a cry of pain as a result and Andre is not letting up much either, PICKING UP BRONSON AND TURNING HIM AROUND BEFORE RUNNING HIM FORWARD AGAIN AND SENDING HIM INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER THIS TIME! Despite the damage that he’s already done Andre still has a hold of Bronson, turning him around, AND POSSIBLY LOOKING TO SEND HIM INTO THE CORNER ONE MORE TIME FOR GOOD MEASURE!
Jake Mercer: Bronson takes it but immediately begins to slam overhand punches down onto the spine of Andre in hopes of forcing him to let go! But Andre simply refuses to do so and I think Bronson is perfectly fine with that, and… what the hell is he doing??? Bronson tightens his grip on the front facelock and begins to climb up to the top turnbuckle, using all the energy that he has to pull Andre up with him. I have no clue what he might have in mind right here but seeing as though he might be dragging Andre Walker down to hell with him upon impact you know that he has nothing but dire intentions right now. Bronson is up on the top rope, still having the head of Andre in his grasp…
Stew-O: NO! HE’S GOING FOR ‘SAVAGE MODE 2’! LIFTING UNDERHOOK GUTBUSTER OFF OF THE TOP ROPE! IF THIS CONNECTS THERE’S NO WAY HE DOESN’T BECOME WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
Flannery McCoy: IT DOESN’T HAPPEN THOUGH! BRONSON’S LEG GIVES OUT ON HIM AND ANDRE TAKES ADVANTAGE TO BREAK FREE AND SNATCH THE HEAD JUST IN TIME! HE LEAPS OFF OF THE TOP ROPE WITH BRONSON IN HIS GRASP AND MID-AIR CINCHES IN THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE! BRONSON IS SPIKED DOWN ON THE MAT WHILE ‘KNOW THE LEDGE’ IS LOCKED IN AND HE IS ABSOLUTELY DEFENSELESS RIGHT NOW IN THE GRASP OF THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
Jake Mercer: THE GUILLOTINE IS CRUSHING THE NECK OF BRONSON DANIELS RIGHT NOW AND ESPECIALLY AFTER THE HELL THAT HE’S BEEN PUT THROUGH I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE HE CAN TAKE ESPECIALLY OF THIS! IT’S TAP OR SNAP FOR HIM AND RIGHT NOW HE’S REACHING OUT FOR DEAR LIFE JUST TRYING TO FIND HIS WAY OUT OF THIS! EVEN WHEN THE SITUATION IS DIRE HE SIMPLY DOES NOT GIVE IN! BUT AT SOME POINT THROUGHOUT THIS HE’LL BE LEFT WITH ZERO CHOICE! WILL BRONSON DANIELS TAP OUT! WILL WE BE SEEING ANDRE WALKER WALK OUT OF THIS MATCHUP WITH ANOTHER WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP DEFENSE UNDER HIS BELT! I DON’T KNOW I THINK THAT MIGHT VERY WELL BE A POSSIBILITY RIGHT NOW!
Stew-O: YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHT FADING FROM THE EYES OF BRONSON! THE LAST GLIMMER OF HOPE FOR A POTENTIAL WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN BEGINNING TO FADE RIGHT BEFORE HIS VERY EYES! HE’S FOUGHT SO HARD FOR THIS NOT JUST IN THIS MATCH BUT SINCE HIS RETURN AND ANDRE WALKER LIKE THE COLD AND CALLOUS MAN HE IS LOOKS TO DISCARD OF THAT AND TAKE HIM OUT OF THE PICTURE! BRONSON DANIELS IS BEGINNING TO FADE BUT DESPITE THAT IS STILL SHOWING SIGNS OF LIFE! HE’S STILL FIGHTING THROUGH ALL OF THIS PAIN THAT HE’S GOING THROUGH! WILL THIS BE THE END OF THE MATCH???
…
…
…
Flannery McCoy: IT IS! BRONSON IS OUT! AND STILL! AND STILL! ANDRE WINS!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Leaving Caladan’ begins to blast through the speakers while the referee makes his way over and immediately forces Andre Walker to release the Guillotine Choke submission on Bronson Daniels before he can do any damage, the job has already been done. Andre begins to make his way up to his feet, Albert Hitchman already at the ringside area having run from the backstage area with the speed of light. Albert has the World Heavyweight Championship from the timekeeper’s area and slides it into the ring, bestowing it upon Andre and raising his hand high in victory to follow that.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner… AND STILL YOUR EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!!! ‘THE KAISER’… ANDRE WALKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: ☝️☝️☝️ LET’S GOOOOO!!!! SMOKIN’ THAT BRONSON DANIELS PACK! RIP BOZO!
Stew-O: Wow, I can’t believe the match that we just witnessed tonight in our main event. Of course, we know that this was going to be good and all, but with our expectations this high I had absolutely no idea that Andre Walker and Bronson Daniels were going to shatter it like that. They truly went out there and put on one hell of a match, and it’s a shame that both of them couldn’t just win and only one of them could walk out the winner. Of course, that privilege goes to the one and only Andre Walker who leaves New Zealand tonight still your World Heavyweight Champion.
Flannery McCoy: No doubt give credit where credit is due to Bronson Daniels’ damn good performance in this match. He laid it all on the line through all the pain that he was going through in hopes of becoming World Heavyweight Champion, and while he didn’t win he sure laid claim to a future reign that’s one thing I can say for certain. But in the end, Andre is just that good, and that begs the question, if THAT can’t stop him… then what will…?
(Andre rolls out of the ring, clutching the World Heavyweight Championship close to his chest and beginning to backpedal up the ramp. Bronson is seen beginning to gain composure inside the ring, a disappointed look on his face while he watches his opponent celebrate a momentous victory here tonight. Andre raises his Championship into the air, while pyro shoots out from behind him, with that being the last shot seen before ultimately, Justified Reckoning then begins to fade out from there.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades back to show the backstage area of the FedEx Forum. There, the camera focuses on Dynasty Backstage Interviewer Michael Belfort as he makes his way through the halls, approaching a door which leads into a private room. The front plate reads “ANDRE WALKER” and Michael, appearing as though he has an interview scheduled with the former World Heavyweight Champion, knocks on the door. After some time, the door opens, but who he meets is not exactly who he was anticipating.)
Albert Hitchman: Yes?
Michael Belfort: Mr. Hitchman, yes, is it possible that I could have a few words with-
Albert Hitchman: Andre Walker?
(Albert rears his head back to look inside the room before peeking his head back out.)
Albert Hitchman: I’m afraid that he is unavailable right now.
Michael Belfort: Oh, we can conduct this another time then-
Albert Hitchman: No, no, you know the deal.
(Albert steps out from the locker room and gently closes the door behind him, looking at Michael with a smile.)
Albert Hitchman: Andre Walker has a very busy schedule so unfortunately there probably will not be another time for questions. If this really is a pressing matter for you though, I will be happy to answer any that you may have for him.
(Michael sighs before nodding his head, Albert continuing to smile in response.)
Michael Belfort: Well I just wanted to get Andre’s thoughts on Pain For Pride. It’s been nearly half a year since he last stepped into the ring, that being at Road To Redemption in the Elimination Chamber for the World Heavyweight Championship. Do you think that there’s some ring rust that comes with that after all this time?
Albert Hitchman: For starters, let’s not talk about that dreaded date. Road To Redemption 2022 is a weekend that will live in infamy, and we’re better off not concerning ourselves with what happened there. As for your doubts about Andre Walker’s abilities, I highly doubt that will be an issue. I will give you one thing in saying that it has been quite sometime, but that’s not taking into account the extensive and rigorous training that Andre Walker has gone through in the process as well. He’s not coming into this match unmanned nor unprepared, just as always he will be stepping into the ring at his physical peak, and that is something that just cannot be matched by the regular Elitist. Try as they may, but nobody will be on the level of Andre Walker no matter the circumstance.
Michael Belfort: I feel like we have to talk about it. Before this, Andre returned with the intention of recapturing the World Heavyweight Championship-
Albert Hitchman: His World Heavyweight Championship that he never should have lost, but go on please.
Michael Belfort: Are there still World Championship aspirations in mind for Andre post-Pain For Pride and heading into Season 17.
Albert Hitchman: Always. There is always a plan for total conquest. But if you want me to get into specifics, then I’m afraid that is not something that I’m going to be able to give you. Andre Walker’s entire focus is on Pain For Pride and until then that’s the range that I’m going to be able to talk about with you.
Michael Belfort: Understandable. Now talking about Pain For Pride and his opponent, Bronson Daniels. What are your thoughts about him? Do you presumably have some last words on behalf of Andre?
(Albert shakes his head, but before he’s able to speak… none other than Bronson Daniels himself is standing beside Michael. Albert grinds his teeth and looks very fearful considering he’s here by himself, while Bronson takes Michael’s microphone.)
Bronson Daniels: I’m sorry, I didn’t quite get what y’all were talking about at the very beginning… Andre isn’t available?
Albert Hitchman: Unfortunately not… my good sir. But just as I told that young man over there, any inquiries can be talked over with me if you must.
Bronson Daniels: Yeah, I want to talk to your client. You didn’t give me that last week, had him showing up on the titantron, so I think this is a good time now for him and I to meet face-to-face before Pain For Pride.
Albert Hitchman: I’m sorry, but what part about what I said did you not get? Even if I had a choice, he’s just unavailable right now. Besides, I don’t think you’re worth-
Bronson Daniels: Hold on, I’m not worth Andre Walker’s time?
Albert Hitchman: That is correct.
Bronson Daniels: If anything he’s made it seem like otherwise with all the stuff that he’s tried to pull these past couple of weeks. He’s been trying to get into my head, beat me down, but that hasn’t exactly gone to plan, has it? It’s not gone the way that he wanted it to and that’s going to be a reoccuring theme heading into Pain For Pride that is very telling for what’s to come in our match.
Albert Hitchman: (Mumbling) Well what’s happened between the two of you in the past doesn’t really prove that…
Bronson Daniels: Excuse me?
Albert Hitchman: I’m saying, nobody, and I mean nobody, has any sort of faith in you. They don’t think that you’re going to be able to beat Andre Walker, like all the times before of course, and you’re just going to end up losing.
Bronson Daniels: And that’s fine, they can believe what they want to believe but I’m done trying to convince people. They can think that I’ll win or lose and it doesn’t matter, because while he was sitting at home I was out here fighting for my life week in and week out and I am more than ready to prove why I am better than him. He’s the last hurdle, he’s the last wall that I have to run through if I want to get anywhere near what I want as an Elitist. And if that’s what it takes, I’m going to make sure that I do it. Now move.
Albert Hitchman: I’m sorry, I can’t let you in.
Bronson Daniels: I wasn’t asking.
(Bronson shoves Albert away before opening the door to the locker room. He’s about to walk in…)
(SLAM!)
(Before the door is slammed in his face! A stunned Bronson stumbles back, before the door rips open and Andre Walker rushes out before connecting with a ‘Kaiser’s Touch’! The Superman Punch across the face takes Bronson down to the ground before Andre mounts on top of him and begins to deliver some hard strikes to the face. Albert is laughing while Andre has him by the head, yelling at him.)
Andre Walker: YOU THINK IT’S THAT EASY? YOU THINK YOU’RE ANYTHING MORE THAN A JOKE?
(Andre continues to drive his fist in the face of Bronson, before relenting when he feels that he’s satisfied. Bronson rolls over to his side and clutches his head in pain while Andre gets up and dusts himself off. He sneers before turning around and making his way back into the locker room, Albert with a devilish smirk on his face following him as the door closes shut. Officials quickly rush into check on Bronson as it’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty from there begina to fade to elsewhere.)
[SCREENBAR: Andre Walker vs Limmy Monaghan vs Bronson Daniels vs PJ Hendrx vs Jay Jerry Johnson vs Amir Yusuf – Elimination Chamber for the World Heavyweight Championship – Road to Redemption 2022]
(After the match graphic flashes across the screen, the camera shot fades down to the ringside area. Dynasty’s ring announcer, Stephie Love, is standing just outside the chamber.)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS AN ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH AND IT’S FOR THE ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
(The crowd erupts knowing they are about to see a showcase of a match featuring one of the most dominant world champions in recent times and a wonderful mix of incredible talents looking to cap off their respective years in the most impressive way possible.)
Stephie Love: As always, the match begins with two Elitists in the ring while the other four competitors will be encased in their respective pods! Every five minutes, a pod door will open, allowing another competitor into the match! The process will continue until everyone has entered the match! If at any time an Elitist is pinned, submitted, knocked out, or removed from the match by the officials they are officially ELIMINATED! The winner will be the last competitor remaining and they will be the EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!
(As the crowd continues to cheer, the lights inside the arena begin to dim. “Leaving Caladan” by Hans Zimmer begins to blast across the PA system and all those cheers turn into boos. Albert Hitchman walks out first, a smug look of satisfaction on his face as he lifts the EAW World Heavyweight Championship up in the air.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST!!! ACCOMPANIED BY ALBERT HITCHMAN… FROM THE ISLE OF SAMOA… WEIGHING IN AT 245 POUNDS… HE IS THE REIGNING… THE DEFENDING… ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION… ‘THE KAISER’ ANDRE WALKER!!!!
(The boos grow louder as the champ himself takes his time walking out. Andre wears a traditional lei around his neck and he looks geared up for what will no doubt be his toughest championship defense to date. He pauses next to Hitchman, who hands him the championship and Andre casually raises it up in the air. After posing with it for a few moments, he places it across his shoulder and the two begin to make their way down to the ring.)
Stew-O: This is a hell of a way to kick off Road to Redemption, ladies and gentlemen, and I, for one, can not wait to see how this match plays out. As always, Andre’s face is a measure of cool, calm confidence. You have to believe that this man, our champion who has been on an absolute tear since winning the King of Elite tournament back in February, is the heavy favorite to retain.
Flannery McCoy: You can make that argument, sure, but there are five other men in this match who are looking to make a statement for their own. No one held anything back this week and Andre’s reign could be in jeopardy here tonight.
(Andre has made it into the ring and after getting a few last words of encouragement from Albert, he passes his title over to the referee and he gets inside of his pod. As the champ gets settled in, his music fades out.)
(“first death” by TK from Ling Tosite Sigure begins to play and the fans give a warm reaction to the next Elitist who comes out.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING NEXT… FROM YOKOHAMA, JAPAN… WEIGHING IN AT 206 POUNDS… HE IS THE ‘CHARISMATIC ARTIST’… JAY JERRY JOHNSON!!!
(There is a slight smile on Triple J’s face as he makes his way from the back and onto the stage. To end his year competing in a match of this magnitude is a dream come true for him. He takes a moment to soak in the atmosphere before putting his game face on and making his way to the ring.)
Jake Mercer: Time for some Triple J factz!
Flannery McCoy: No.
Jake Mercer: :mjgrin: All I was going to do is talk about what a breath of fresh air that man has been for the Dynasty brand.
Flannery McCoy: :usure:
Jake Mercer: Yes, I’m sure! I think everyone here and everyone watching knows the rocky start Jay’s had to his career here in EAW. he’s gone through a lot of ups and downs, has found himself along the way, and he may very well be a dark horse here tonight. I don’t think any of us have ever questioned Jay’s drive and his potential. Tonight could very well be the night it all comes to a head for him.
(As Jay steps into the pod, he focuses his gaze on the World Heavyweight Championship. That belt is glittering under the lights and is the sole focus for Triple J. He looks determined to give himself the best chance at winning it tonight and he steps inside his pod, letting the referee lock him inside.)
(After Jay’s theme music fades out, “A Stranger I Remain” by Free Dominguez begins to play. That doesn’t necessarily go over well with the crowd as a scattering of boos can be heard over the music.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING NEXT… RESIDING IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS… WEIGHING IN AT 182 POUNDS… HE IS ‘THE IRREPLACEABLE’ AMIR YUSUF!!!!
(Amir walks out, dressed in a special gold version of his usual ring attire. The smirk on his face indicates that he believes in his chances to win this match and leave Road to Redemption as the new World Heavyweight Champion.)
Stew-O: Speaking of Elitists who have come into their own, it would be hard to find someone who’s grown as much as Amir Yusuf has since the beginning of the season. An incredible match back at Territorial Invasion saw Amir nearly pull off the upset on Andre Walker. If Amir were to win tonight, I don’t think any of us would call it an upset.
Flannery McCoy: I agree, Stew. The reigning Rookie of the Year has stepped up his game this season and shown us that he is serious about becoming a mainstay in the main event scene. I don’t think anyone can question the potential that Amir Yusuf has and it honestly wouldn’t surprise me to see him head into 2023 as the new World Heavyweight Champion.
Jake Mercer: Anything is possible, Flan, especially when you’re talking about someone like Amir! Did you know that he once bench pressed a car during a Strong Man exhibition at the beach???
Flannery McCoy: Amir is like 180 pounds…
Jake Mercer: He’s a big, strong boi :wow:.
(Amir is in the ring now, but instead of going straight to his pod, he stops in front of Andre’s. The two lock eyes, with Andre looking more bored than anything, but Amir doesn’t let the champion’s arrogance get to him. Instead, he points to the World Heavyweight Championship and then makes a title motion at his waist.)
Amir Yusuf: (off-mic) It’s my time.
(Andre simply waves him off and the referee orders Amir to his pod. As the Kuwait native is locked inside, his music is cut. Seconds later, “Limit Break X Survivor” by Kiyoshi Hikawa [DUB] is heard. What comes next is the loudest ovation so far.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING NEXT!!!! HAILING FROM BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA… WEIGHING IN AT 227 POUNDS… HE IS ‘THE LEADER’… LIMMY MONAGHAN!!!!
(Limmy makes his way out onto the stage and the sold-out crowd in Beijing gasps. Limmy is dressed in an all-white version of his usual ring attire which is reminiscent of Monkey D. Luffy from the hit anime show, One Piece. He is paying tribute to Luffy’s Gear 5 transformation and has even had his curly hair dyed white and puffed out like a cloud for the occasion. As Limmy scans the crowd, his eyes spot a particular sign in the crowd. “EARN THAT ‘G’ MONA_HAN” is what it reads. Unable to help himself, Limmy cracks a smile, points to the sky as pyro erupts behind him, and he begins to make his way towards the chamber.)
Stew-O: I think it’s obvious who the fans want to see as the next World Heavyweight Champion! Limmy Monaghan has been working towards this very moment since last season. Since day one, he has proven himself to have a championship pedigree and even through his setbacks, he has become better and better.
(A voice off camera can be heard.)
Gavin Kirkland: (off-camera) GOOD LUCK LIMOMMY! I LOVE YOU! I AM ROOTING FOR YOU!!!
Flannery McCoy: :mjlol: Someone misses Limmy on Showdown, I see.
Jake Mercer: Showdown’s loss, is Dynasty’s gain :drakelike:, and I know that Limmy Monaghan is going to do what he can to seize the moment and not leave this chamber disappointed. There is a lot of talent in this match and a lot of hungry competitors, but I don’t know guys. Limmy might be the hungriest out of everyone.
(As the last competitor to enter a pod, it’s obvious to everyone now who will start the match. Limmy gets settled, and takes a deep breath, knowing he could be waiting to get into this match for a while.)
(‘DNA’ by Kendrick Lamar is then heard playing up with the crowd beginning to respond with a loud mix of cheers and boos. PJ Hendrx is seen beginning to make his way out, a confident smirk on his face while he hypes the crowd up, ready to go for what is undoubtedly the biggest match of his career to this point. He looks toward the ring, nodding his head before then continuing his entrance down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: NEXT!!! FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA… WEIGHING IN AT 195 POUNDS… ‘PHANTOM’… PJ HENDRX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: I think it came as a surprise to a lot of people to see PJ Hendrx find himself a spot in this match, having been one of the more recent Elitists to enter Friday Night Dynasty, naturally a lot less was expected from him. But seeing his rise in such a short time has shown that despite that, he is someone that is ready for the task at hand.
Flannery McCoy: These past couple of weeks has been PJ coming into his own, with a bone to pick and something to prove. This is the biggest match of his career so far and he is walking into this with a lot of weight on his shoulders. Especially considering now we know that he’s starting this match, let’s see what he can do.
(PJ enters into the structure and heads through the ring, making his way over to his corner and taking off his entrance jacket, beginning to get ready for his match while ‘DNA’ begins to come to a close and we await the final competitor who will be joining him.)
(Last but certainly not least, ‘Runnin’ by 21 Savage & Metro Boomin is heard blasting through the speakers of the arena, with the crowd erupting into cheers. The camera goes over to show Bronson Daniels who begins to make his way out from the backstage area and to the stage. The frame gets a good look of the attire that he’s wearing tonight, which is inspired by Kratos in the God of War series. His usual gear is in the style of his armor from the game, along with red face paint going down his chest and his face, capping the look off with a cape that flows in the wind. He has a look of determination painted on his face, as he eyes the ring with all of the Elitists standing by. He then begins to make his way down the ramp, ready for war.)
Stephie Love: LASTLY!!! RESIDING IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA… WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS… ‘THE ANSWER’… BRONSON DANIELS!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Ignoring Jake, this is Bronson’s second time this Season fighting for a World Championship. His last go around was Justified Reckoning, and while he didn’t win exactly, he showed that he had some unfinished business with Andre Walker and was going to come around eventually. Now, that statement has aged like fine wine, as he steps into the Elimination Chamber for the second time looking to get a victory under his belt.
Flannery McCoy: Indeed, but he’s going to have to become something more if he wishes to beat all the Elitists in this match and declare himself as the World Heavyweight Champion. It’s going to be rough, it’s going to be unforgiving, but we know Bronson Daniels, we know what he’s capable of. If there’s anyone more ready to win, it’s him.
(Bronson enters into the Chamber and enters into the ring, eyeing PJ while the door is seen locking completely shut. ‘Runnin’ then begins to come to a close from there while the referee inside the ring looks to signal for the bell…)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The exits are locked and the pods are closed, this Elimination Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship is officially underway! Bronson Daniels and PJ Hendrx start this match, and gradually the four other Elitists participating will be released from their pods. The two of them begin to make their way out of their corner, and remember a few weeks ago they had a preview match against one another where Bronson came out on top, and if I were PJ I’d be trying extra hard right now to reprimand that. They begin to close in on the center of the ring, looking to start this match traditionally with a collar-and-elbow…
Flannery McCoy: But PJ connects with a kick to the abdomen doubling Bronson over! He isn’t here for that, he wants to make an immediate impact, which is his intention as he grabs Bronson by the arm and pushes him against the ropes, sending him toward the opposite side of the ring… HEADING TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE RING ONCE MORE AND LEAPING INTO THE AIR FOR A DROPKICK TO THE CHEST- NO! He meets nothing but air with Bronson managing to grab onto the ropes just in time! PJ though does not waste anytime, RUNNING FORWARD AND LOOKING TO CLOTHESLINE HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE- ONLY FOR BRONSON TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AND SEND HIM OVER AND DOWN TO THE FLOOR ON THE OUTSIDE! PJ stumbles backward and falls against the chain linked lining, trying to collect himself while Bronson runs to the ropes and back… LEAPING OVER THE ROPES AND SPINNING AROUND DROPPING HIM WITH A TRUST FALL OVER THE TOP!
Jake Mercer: Bronson pulling out some hard-hitting offense of his own, and PJ is left on the defense trying to wade off this early storm. Bronson grabs him by the head and brings him back up to his feet, sending him over the top and back into the ring looking to continue his attack on the inside. PJ slowly begins to rise back up to his feet, clutching his back in pain while he turns around, TO BRONSON WHO LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND LOOKS TO TAKE HIM OUT WITH A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE- But it’s PJ that manages to move out of the way just in time causing Bronson to take a hard tumble to the floor! He scrambles up to his feet, ONLY FOR PJ TO RUN FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD TO DROP HIM BACK DOWN!
Stew-O: Bronson is down while PJ grabs him by the head and brings him back up to his feet, before beginning to unload on him with an array of forearm shots! He then grabs him by the arm before sending him into another Irish whip this time into the corner, turning around before running forward… GOING FOR A SHOULDER THRUST- But Bronson manages to avoid that and PJ manages to stop himself before ramming straight into the ringpost! PJ backs himself up while Bronson turns to face him, WITH BRONSON LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND GOING FOR AN ENZUIGIRI- But PJ manages to duck under!
Flannery McCoy: Bronson lands flat on his stomach, but despite the whirlwind of pain that he must be going through right now he begins to rise back up to his feet. PJ THEN LIFTS HIM UP OFF THE GROUND WITH THE INTENTION OF DROPPING HIM ONTO HIS HEAD WITH A BURNING HAMMER! ‘HURRICANE’ TO TAKE BRONSON OUT BEFORE ANYMORE ENTRIES CAN JOIN!
Jake Mercer: BUT BRONSON FLIPS OVER AND LANDS ON HIS FEET! PJ is caught off guard by this sudden encounter as he begins to approach Bronson, ONLY FOR HIM TO SPIN AROUND AND CATCH PJ AGAINST THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD! PJ falls against the ropes trying to keep himself balanced, WHILE USING THE MOMENTUM TO BOUNCE HIMSELF OFF OF IT AND SPIN AROUND BEFORE DROPPING BRONSON WITH A DISCUS LARIAT- But Bronson manages to duck under that instead before running to the ropes… LAUNCHING OFF OF THEM AND LOOKING TO DROP PJ WITH A HANDSPRING BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE!
Stew-O: BUT PJ CATCHES HIM WHILE HE JUMPS INTO THE AIR AND DROPS HIM WITH A SECOND ATTEMPT AT THE BURNING HAMMER! ‘HURRICANE’ CONNECTS WHILE PJ ROLLS HIM ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT BRONSON SHOOTS THE SHOULDER UP BEFORE THREE! PJ begins to rise back up to his feet, and I think that he’s come to this realization that he’s done a copious amount of damage already to Bronson in this match. If he keeps this up he might have an early elimination under his belt before all the Elitists can enter into the match. PJ gets back up to his feet, running to the ropes and back while Bronson is down on the mat… LOOKING TO EXECUTE A ROLLING THUNDER TO CRUSH BRONSON DANIELS FROM ABOVE!
Jake Mercer: BUT BRONSON NARROWLY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! PJ crashes and burns on the canvas while Bronson retreats toward the bottom rope to help himself up to his feet. He props himself up while PJ gets up to his feet, not looking happy with now that move turned out at all. He makes his way over to him, BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING BRONSON CONNECTS WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE! PJ stumbles back, collecting himself, BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND THIS TIME LOOKING TO SEND HIM COMPLETELY OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A CLOTHESLINE- BUT BEFORE THAT CAN HAPPEN IT’S BRONSON THAT MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AND SEND PJ OVER THE TOP INSTEAD!
Stew-O: PJ takes a rough landing on the metal flooring of the Chamber while Bronson turns and begins to make his way to the top rope, setting himself up for something big while he has the chance… LEAPING OFF OF THE ROPES AND DROPPING HIM BACK DOWN WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK!
(Bronson immediately shoots up to his feet, hyping up the crowd. They roar to their feet, but not for the reason that the former Interwire Champion anticipates…)

(BUZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(The lights dim and a flicker of spotlights shine over the four pods in the Chamber. The crowd and the Elitists in the match already wait with bated breath, with the flickering finally coming to an end and a singular light shining down on a singular pod…)
Flannery McCoy: THE CHAMBER DOOR BURSTS OPEN AND AMIR YUSUF SHOOTS OUT OF IT, CONNECTING WITH A FOREARM TO THE FACE OF BRONSON!
Jake Mercer: Bronson is taken by surprise and dropped to the ground, and the former New Breed Champion wastes no time to grab one of his own and throw him over the top rope and back into the ring! With Bronson already feeling the effects of this match, this is the perfect opportunity for Amir to take advantage and he knows it, LEAPING OVER THE ROPES AND DROPPING HIM WITH A SPRINGBOARD FOREARM SHOT! Bronson is dropped down to the canvas but shoots up thanks to the impact, while Amir uses this to turn around and run the ropes… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SLIDING FOREARM SMASH!
Stew-O: Amir then turns around and begins to make the climb up to the top turnbuckle, looking to the outside and eyeing PJ who is beginning to recover from the array of moves that Bronson took him down with. HE LAUNCHES OFF OF THE TURNBUCKLE GOING FOR A DIVING HURRICANRANA TO TAKE PJ DOWN AGAIN- BUT JUST IN TIME PJ MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY CAUSING AMIR TO LAND ON HIS TAILBONE ON THE OUTSIDE! Amir is down in a seated position while PJ grabs him by the head and begins to heave him up to his feet, BEFORE LIFTING HIM OFF THE GROUND AND ATTEMPTING TO DROP HIM WITH A BRAINBUSTER ATTEMPT!
Flannery McCoy: But Amir manages to send punches to his abdomen before he can completely lift him up, forcing PJ to loosen his grip and giving him a chance to slip out! Amir attempts to throw a punch- But PJ manages to block it before sending a sharp knee to his abdomen! He then grabs Amir by the head, BEFORE THROWING HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE EMPTY CHAMBER POD! Amir is practically dead weight after that, being completely stunned courtesy of it while PJ grabs a hold of him… BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING, BRONSON DANIELS THROWS HIMSELF BACK INTO THE FRAY AND LOOKS TO LAUNCH HIMSELF WITH A SPRINGBOARD ATTEMPT TO DROP BOTH OF THEM ON THE OUTSIDE!
Jake Mercer: BUT PJ KEEPS A HOLD OF AMIR AND THROWS HIM INTO BRONSON FORCING HIM TO LOSE BALANCE AND SLIP OFF OF THE ROPES! The two Elitists collide causing Bronson to stumble back into the ring while Amir is dropped due to the impact, but manages to roll himself into the ring before PJ can get his hands on him. PJ doesn’t look to let them catch their breath though, he hasn’t done so yet in this match, why should he now? He begins to make his way up to the top rope, going for an aerial assault just as his competition has. He sets his sights on Amir who is stirring… LAUNCHING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH ‘CATCH YOUR BREATH’! PHOENIX SPLASH!
Stew-O: BUT AMIR MANAGES TO GET THE KNEES UP! PJ with a rough landing clutching at his spine while he slowly rises up to his feet, BUT AMIR ALREADY HAS A HOLD OF HIM AS HE POPS HIM UP INTO THE AIR BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN WITH AN ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL KNEECAP BRAINBUSTER! AMIR LOOKS TO GO FOR THE PIN!
Flannery McCoy: BUT AMIR GETS UP AND IS MET BY BRONSON DANIELS WHO SCOOPS HIM OFF OF THE GROUND AND CONNECTS WITH ‘NIGHT NIGHT’! FIREMAN’S CARRY KNEE STRIKE CONNECTS TO HIS FACE DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! BRONSON OUT OF PURE EXHAUSTION COLLAPSES DOWN TO THE MAT, THROWING HIS ARMS OVER BOTH AMIR AND PJ FOR A DOUBLE PINFALL!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHH-
Jake Mercer: BUT BOTH AMIR AND PJ KICK OUT AT THE SAME TIME! Bronson pulls himself up to a kneeling position, knowing that very well could’ve knocked out two birds with one stone if that pin went through. But unfortunately for him, that didn’t happen and this match continues onward. Amir slowly rolls himself toward the bottom rope to get himself back up to his feet, while PJ does the same, and right here Bronson knows that he’s going to have to act quick if he wants to keep the odds in his favor.
Stew-O: Bronson makes his way over to Amir and snatches him by the wrist, and sends him over to the corner with an Irish whip! Bronson then proceeds to run forward… GOING FOR A CORNER CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD- But before that can happen it’s Amir that goes under and lifts him over the top rope and to the outside! He turns around and swings a punch- But Bronson manages to block it and send one back! He sets him up while Amir is stunned in the corner, BUT BEFORE EITHER OF THEM CAN DO ANYTHING IT’S PJ THAT MANAGES TO RECOVER AND SEND A DROPKICK TO THE CHEST OF AMIR!
Flannery McCoy: Amir is sent backward and is now on the defense once more while Bronson throws away his attack and stays poised on the outside. He’s leaned against the turnbuckle padding, BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING IT’S PJ THAT RUNS FORWARD AND RAMS A SHOULDER THRUST INTO HIS ABDOMEN! Amir is doubled over and possibly taken out of the equation for the time being, with PJ closing in on Bronson, turning around and leaving the ring, BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING HE’S MET WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!
Jake Mercer: PJ falls against the ropes, BUT MANAGES TO RECOVER WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW! Bronson is stunned, WHILE PJ GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD AND SLAMS HIM DOWN ONTO THE METAL FLOORING OF THE OUTSIDE! Bronson is nearly out of it while PJ grabs him by the head and brings him back up…
Stew-O: BUT WHAT THEY DON’T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT IS AMIR BEGINNING TO SCALE UP TO THE TOP ROPE, LOOKING TO DIVE ONTO BOTH OF THEM!
Flannery McCoy: BUT PJ DROPS BRONSON AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF OF THE ROPES! LANDING ONTO AMIR’S SHOULDERS AND SENDING HIM PLUMMETING DOWNWARD WITH A TOP ROPE FRANKENSTEINER! OH MY GOD!
Jake Mercer: Everyone is down and out! And it looks like whoever is going to come in next is going to have a field day with this! Who’s it going to be?!

(BUZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(The arena dims and once again the lights begin to flicker, landing on the three Chamber pods that are left to be open. Finally, a sole light shines down onto a pod…)
Stew-O: THE DOOR OPENS AND JAY JERRY JOHNSON RUSHES INTO THE FRAY! Jay enters into the ring and eyes PJ who has himself up in a kneeling position, STRIKING HIM WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD!
Flannery McCoy: He grabs Amir by the head and brings him up to his feet, sending him toward the ropes and awaiting his rebound… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK TO HIS CHEST! PJ clutching at his head begins to get back up once again, looking to stop the new entry into this match from gaining anymore offense, BUT JAY CLOSES IN ON HIM AND LAUNCHES INTO A SLING BLADE WHICH DROPS HIM BACK DOWN!
Jake Mercer: Jay knows how big of an opportunity this is for him, and he’s not going to let it slip. He turns around and eyes Bronson on the outside, making his way over and looking to inflict some more offense onto him, BUT BRONSON MANAGES TO GRAB ONTO THE ROPES AND LEAP OVER BEFORE ROLLING JAY UP INTO A SUNSET FLIP PIN FROM THE OUTSIDE!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Stew-O: BUT JAY KICKS OUT BEFORE GETTING BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND CONNECTING WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE FACE OF BRONSON WHILE HE’S IN A SEATED POSITION!
Flannery McCoy: Bronson is down, but the other two Elitists are beginning to recover and Jay needs to make sure that he keeps them all at bay. He makes his way over to Amir, but before he can do anything it’s Amir that manages to send a punch to his midsection to keep some form of distance between the two of them. Jay stumbles back while this gives Amir enough time to get back up to his feet, seizing him by the wrist before sending him toward the ropes- But before he can do that it’s Jay that manages to drop his weight! Jay then sends Amir into the turnbuckle padding with absolute authority! Amir’s chest slams against the turnbuckle padding while Jay collects himself and begins to make his way over to him… BUT IT’S AMIR THAT LEAPS OFF OF THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING INTO A SPRINGBOARD TORNADO DDT!
Jake Mercer: Amir manages to spike Jay onto the canvas and keep him down for the time being, and this is the chance that the former New Breed Champion needs to collect himself and get back into this matchup. He brings himself back up using the ropes, leaning back against the turnbuckle padding, BUT BEFORE HE CAN GET OUT OF IT PJ SHOOTS UP TO HIS FEET AND LAUNCHES TOWARD AMIR WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Amir is once again left stunned in the corner, while PJ takes a step back, but before he can do anything it’s Bronson that turns PJ around and sends a hard right hand to his face! PJ is left stunned while Bronson grabs his hand this time, SENDING HIM INTO THE CORNER WITH BOTH PJ AND AMIR COLLIDING INTO ONE ANOTHER!
Stew-O: Both of them collapse down onto the canvas with Bronson dipping down to a kneeling position, ONLY FOR JAY TO COME IN AND CONNECT WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE- But just in time Bronson manages to move his boot away! Jay stumbles forward while Bronson gets back up to his feet…
Flannery McCoy: JAY PULLS HIM IN AND HOOKS HIM BY THE ARMS! TIGER DRIVER ’98! ‘PROJECT ZEPERION’!
Jake Mercer: BUT BRONSON LIFTS HIM OVER HIS HEAD AND COUNTERS JAY’S FINISHING MOVE WITH AN EFFECTIVE BACK BODY DROP! Jay is sent crashing and burning onto the canvas and realizes that he’s in trouble, beginning to rise up to his feet before…
Stew-O: BRONSON LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND GOES FOR ‘CHROME HEART TAGS’! SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE FACE!
Flannery McCoy: BUT JAY DUCKS UNDER AND IT STRIKES AMIR IN THE FACE WHO HAS JUST MANAGED TO GET HIMSELF OUT OF THE CORNER! Bronson stumbles forward, realizing that while it did hit one of his opponents it didn’t complete his intended purpose, as he turns himself around…
Jake Mercer: ONLY TO BE MET WITH ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT ‘PROJECT ZEPERION’!
Stew-O: IT CONNECTS! THE TIGER DRIVER DROPS BRONSON DOWN AND JAY HOLDS THE PIN! COULD HE GET A BIG ELIMINATION RIGHT HERE?! RIGHT NOW?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: NO! NOT TODAY! BRONSON MANAGES TO KICK OUT BEFORE THAT CAN HAPPEN! PRESERVING HIS CHANCES RIGHT HERE!
Jake Mercer: Jay narrowly pulled off something big, and while it didn’t work, it did get him one step closer to winning this match and becoming the new World Heavyweight Champion. While he can’t really take his time right now letting it sink in, he needs to keep the ball rolling which is his fullest intention right now getting back up to his feet. BUT BEFORE HE CAN GO ANY FURTHER IT’S PJ THAT COMES IN AND GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD, LOOKING TO LIFT HIM OFF THE GROUND WITH A QUICK SPANISH FLY!
Stew-O: But Jay manages to send an elbow to the side of the head! PJ stumbles back, WHILE JAY MAKES HIS WAY OVER AND GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE- But PJ manages to block it with his forearms, before rocking Jay with an uppercut to the jaw! While that’s going down, the crowd is beginning to countdown, which means that one of the last two Elitists remaining to enter are going to make themselves known! Who’s it going to be???
(5…)

Flannery McCoy: Jay stumbles back, BUT LEAPS INTO THE AIR GOING FOR A HIGH KNEE WHICH CONNECTS AGAINST THE FACE OF PJ!
(3…)
(2…)
Jake Mercer: Jay collects himself while PJ falls against the ropes, RUNNING FORWARD AND LOOKING TO SEND HIM OVER THE TOP- BUT PJ ISN’T LETTING THAT HAPPEN AGAIN BY GOING UNDER AND LIFTING HIM OVER HIS HEAD! SENDING JAY CRASHING DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE!
(1…)
(BUZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Stew-O: WHO’S IT GOING TO BE?!?!
(The arena dims while a spotlight begins to shine down on the remaining two Chamber pods. The crowd awaits, with this reveal being the most anticipated of the night. It allows one person to be let free, and the other to revel in the fact that they’ll be the last person who enters. Before long a lone spotlight shines down, causing the crowd to get loud.)
Stew-O: JAY IS UP AND IS MET WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE!
Flannery McCoy: ‘DIABLE JAMBE’ CONNECTS! LIMMY MONAGHAN IS HERE AND HE’S NOT PLAYING AROUND! He knocks Jay down meanwhile PJ moves away from the ropes and turns around, ONLY FOR LIMMY TO GRAB A HOLD OF THE TOP ROPE AND FLIP HIMSELF OVER BEFORE GOING FOR A LARIAT TO THE HEAD! IT CONNECTS DROPPING PJ DOWN TO THE CANVAS AS WELL!
Jake Mercer: Limmy sees Amir beginning to recover, turning around and running toward the ropes… BEFORE GOING FOR ANOTHER ‘DIABLE JAMBE”! BICYCLE KNEE!
Stew-O: BUT AMIR MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME! He then runs toward the ropes himself while Limmy gets back up to a vertical base… JUMPING INTO THE AIR AND LOOKING TO TAKE LIMMY DOWN WITH A FLOAT OVER DDT- BUT LIMMY LIFTS HIM OFF THE GROUND AND RAMS HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING! Limmy begins to send a barrage of punches toward his face before sending a stiff kick toward his abdomen and leaving him to drop down to a seated position!
Flannery McCoy: Limmy steps back, before being turned around by Bronson Daniels! Immediately the two of them go to blows! With Bronson sending punches toward his face and Limmy responding with some of his own! The two of them have an immense amount of respect for one another, but know that in this match they’re going to have to throw that out the window if they look to win! Bronson grabs Limmy by the arm and sends him toward the ropes, BUT LIMMY LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A LEAPFROG BULLDOG!
Jake Mercer: Limmy is on fire right now and doesn’t intend to be stopped anytime soon, but you can see him also occasionally glaring at the last Chamber pod…
Stew-O: :lupe:
Flannery McCoy: :lupe:
Jake Mercer: He’s so gorgeous…
(The crowd begins to rise up upon the camera panning upward, Amir Yusuf is seen on the top rope, standing and grabbing onto the top of an empty Chamber pod before lifting himself upward. It isn’t long before he’s standing on one of one of the pods, and is looking to connect with something cataclysmic to the rest of the match.)
Stew-O: AMIR IS GOING TO LAUNCH HIMSELF OFF OF THE CHAMBER POD!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! WAIT! JAY REALIZED EARLIER THAN ANYONE ELSE AND WHILE AMIR WAS MAKING HIS ASCENT, HE STARTED CLIMBING UP THE CHAIN LINKS OF THE ELIMINATION CHAMBER STRUCTURE! AMIR ISN’T ALONE AND NOW THE TWO BEGIN TO TRADE PUNCHES ON TOP OF THE CHAMBER POD!
Jake Mercer: While that’s happening PJ and Limmy are trading punches in the ring, with Bronson slowly beginning to rise back up to his feet and get himself back into the action! Bronson turns PJ around before connecting with an uppercut to the face! Limmy tries to engage, but Bronson catches him with a back elbow to the face!
Stew-O: Meanwhile Jay sends an impactful kick to the face of Amir, which has sent him teetering over the edge but thankfully for him he manages to keep his balance before he can take such an insane drop from the top of the pod! Jay begins to approach him, before Amir sends an uppercut toward his jaw! Jay stumbles back, WHILE AMIR GRABS HIM BY THE WAIST AND RAMS HIM UP AGAINST THE WALLS OF THE CHAMBER STRUCTURE! Amir then drags him away from it before grabbing him by the head, but Jay manages to recover just in time before slipping himself away and connecting with a huge uppercut to the jaw of Amir to keep him at bay! Jay then begins to situate himself, oh dear, what does he have in mind…
Flannery McCoy: JAY GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD AND LIFTS HIM UP OFF THE GROUND! SUPERPLEX OFF THE TOP OF THE CHAMBER POD! THAT MOVE SENDS BOTH OF THEM CRASHING DOWN TO THE INSIDE OF THE RING! TAKING OUT EVERYONE IN THE MATCH!
(The shot shown is absolute carnage, with everybody down and the crowd in awe of what they just got to witness. This match has been great so far, with every Elitist pulling through and putting up the fight of their lives for the opportunity to call themselves World Heavyweight Champion…)
(Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, with the time beginning to wind down once more. With that being said, some of the Elitists inside the ring begin to take notice of the numbers beginning to resound through the arena.)

(BUZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Jake Mercer: THE LONGEST REIGNING NEW BREED CHAMPION! THE LONGEST REIGNING INTERWIRE CHAMPION! THE REIGNING, DEFENDING WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! ‘THE KAISER’ IS HERE!
(The Chamber pod slides open and slowly but surely, the final boss begins to make his way out. Andre Walker takes a glance at the competition inside the ring, already laid out for the taking, and the only thing that he can do is scoff. He slowly enters into the ring, adjusting his gauntlet hand while preparing for the task at hand. But his slow and methodical pace is stopped by someone beginning to rise up from the carnage.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: (Off-Mic) COME ON! LET’S [BLEEP] GO!
Stew-O: :lupe:!!!
(Andre, can only laugh.)
Flannery McCoy: JAY RUSHES FORWARD! BUT IMMEDIATELY ANDRE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND GOES FOR A ‘OZYMANDIAS’! SUPERMAN PUNCH TO THE FACE OF JAY!
Jake Mercer: BUT JAY DUCKS UNDER THAT! Jay rushes to the ropes and back while Andre turns around… MEETING HIM WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE ABDOMEN WHICH SENDS HIM STUMBLING BACK! That unwavering confidence from Andre turns to unhappiness with Jay beginning to show some fight. Jay then turns around and runs to the ropes and back once again…
Stew-O: BUT ANDRE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH HIS SECOND ATTEMPT AT THE ‘OZYMANDIAS’!
(Andre stumbles forward, a pissed off look on his face while he grabs his abdomen. He turns around and falls back against the corner, shaking his head while Jay unknowingly stumbles up to his feet, not knowing the fate that Andre has sealed for him at this point…)
Flannery McCoy: ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE’! ANDRE LOOKS TO GET THE FIRST ELIMINATION IN THIS MATCH WITH A SPEAR ATTEMPT!
Jake Mercer: BUT JAY COUNTERS IT WITH ‘FLAMBAGE SHOT’! HE HITS ANDRE SQUARE AGAINST HIS HEAD WITH A ROCKET KICK! NO WAY!
Stew-O: ‘PROJECT ZEPERION’! TIGER DRIVER CONNECTS! JAY HOLDS THE SHOULDERS! IS HE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE IMPOSSIBLE RIGHT HERE?! RIGHT NOW?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
…
…
Flannery McCoy: BUT ANDRE KICKS OUT! The hope begins to fade from Jay’s eyes, the World Heavyweight Champion is still in this match!
Jake Mercer: This level of frustration from Jay is beginning to show right now, but he gets back up to his feet knowing that one more move could very well close the chapter of Andre Walker’s World Heavyweight Championship reign. Jay slowly rises back up to his feet, grabbing Andre by his hair and bringing him up as well…
Jake Mercer: ONE MORE! ‘PROJECT ZEPERION’!
Stew-O: BUT ANDRE SLIPS OUT AND CONNECTS AND LEAPS INTO THE AIR BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SECOND ‘OZYMANDIAS’ TO THE HEAD OF JAY!
Flannery McCoy: ANDRE ISN’T DONE AS HE TURNS AROUND AND SPLITS JAY IN HALF WITH A HUNGER IN HILLSIDE TO FOLLOW THAT UP! JAY IS TAKEN DOWN WHILE ANDRE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
…
…
…
Stephie Love: JAY JERRY JOHNSON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
Jake Mercer: Five people left and ‘The Kaiser’ gets up to his feet…
Stew-O: … before being met by ‘The Leader’.
(The chaos has been unleashed, with the rest of the Elitists thanks to the exchange with Andre and Jay having gotten the opportunity to recover. PJ Hendrx and Amir Yusuf are teeing off on one another on the outside of the ring, meanwhile Bronson leaning against the corner looking to counter the fatigue that he’s feeling having been one of the first people in the match. The only people left inside the ring and on their feet are Limmy Monaghan and Andre Walker, in a first ever encounter when it comes to a match situation.)
Flannery McCoy: ‘OZYMANDIAS’!
Jake Mercer: NO! ‘DIABLE JAMBE’!
Stew-O: NO! BOTH OF THEM AVOID THEIR MOVES! They’re at a momentary standstill but Limmy turns around and rushes toward him, ONLY FOR ANDRE TO LIFT HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND CONNECT WITH A SAMOAN DROP! Limmy is dropped down to the canvas while Andre grabs him by the arm and sends him toward the ropes… BEFORE LIFTING HIM OFF THE GROUND AND GOING FOR A SECOND ONE- BUT LIMMY MANAGES TO COUNTER IT BY READJUSTING ONTO HIS SHOULDERS BEFORE SPIKING HIS HEAD DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS WITH A POISON RANA!
Flannery McCoy: Meanwhile, PJ is sending repeated knees toward the abdomen of Amir! Amir is doubled over but tries to fight back with repeated punches toward his face! PJ is beginning to overwhelm him though, ONLY FOR AMIR TO GO UNDER AND GRAB HIM BY THE WAIST BEFORE RAMMING PJ INTO THE CHAMBER POD!
Jake Mercer: PJ gives a cry of pain while Amir turns him around, LOOKING TO SLAM HIS HEAD AGAINST THE CHAMBER POD- But PJ manages to hold his hand out, before sending an elbow toward the face! Amir stumbles back, WHILE PJ SPINS AROUND AND GOES FOR A BACK FIST TOWARD HIS FACE- BUT AMIR MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER IT BEFORE GRABBING AROUND HIS WAIST AND LIFTING HIM OFF THE GROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A QUICK GERMAN SUPLEX!
Stew-O: Meanwhile, Andre has managed to take Limmy down to the ground, now seeking to inflict some damage on Bronson Daniels. Bronson is in the corner, WITH ANDRE APPROACHING HIM AND BEGINNING TO CLOBBER HIM WITH REPEATED CLOTHESLINE TOWARD THE HEAD! He then grabs Bronson from around the waist and brings him out of the corner, BEFORE LAUNCHING HIM OFF OF THE GROUND INTO A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX- NO! BRONSON MANAGES TO LAND ON HIS FEET! Bronson stumbles forward but turns around while Bronson gets up, CONNECTING WITH A BIG KNEE TO THE FACE TO TAKE HIM BACK DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Flannery McCoy: Amir has thrown PJ back into the ring, slipping through the ropes and entering inside as well, BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING IT’S LIMMY THAT NAILS HIM WITH AN ELBOW STRIKE! He’s stunned, but manages to respond with one back! He then sends Limmy toward the ropes… WHILE LIMMY LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH YET ANOTHER LEAPFROG BULLDOG TO DROP HIM- BUT AMIR MANAGES TO CATCH HIM AND SPIN HIM AROUND INTO A SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! WHAT A COUNTER!
Jake Mercer: PJ is back up to his feet, and right now looks to take his shot at Andre who is rising up to his feet thanks to the assault from Bronson. PJ SENDS A SUPERKICK TO THE HEAD OF BRONSON! He drops him down to the ground, BEFORE RUNNING TOWARD ANDRE AND LEAPING INTO THE AIR FOR A HURRICANRANA ATTEMPT- BUT ANDRE MANAGES TO CATCH HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS JUST LIKE AMIR DID TO LIMMY AND CONNECT WITH A POWERBOMB-
Stew-O: But PJ manages to send punches down onto the top of his head forcing Andre to drop him down to the ground! Andre grabs him by the wrist and pulls him in, GOING FOR A LARIAT TO THE HEAD- BUT PJ DUCKS UNDER BEFORE GRABBING ANDRE BY THE HEAD AND DROPPING HIM WITH A RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! He isn’t done as he gets back up to his feet, BEFORE JUMPING HIGH INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS! BUT WHAT HE DOESN’T SEE IS AMIR LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT-
Flannery McCoy: NO! NO! HE DOES! PJ CATCHES HIM IN MIDAIR WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE FACE! PJ GRABS HIM AND LIFTS HIM UP OFF THE GROUND! COULD HE BE GOING FOR IT RIGHT HERE?!?!?! ‘HURRICANE’! BURNING HAMMER TO DROP AMIR DOWN TO THE GROUND! PJ THEN LIFTS AMIR UP ONTO HIS FEET! HE SLIPS THROUGH THE ROPES…
Jake Mercer: LAUNCHING THROUGH THE AIR AND LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A SPRINGBOARD SPEAR ON A RECOVERING AMIR YUSUF!
Stew-O: BUT AMIR ROLLS FORWARD AND LEAPS INTO THE AIR BEFORE DROPPING PJ IN MIDAIR WITH THE ROLLING CUTTER! ‘WHEN REALITY HITS’ CONNECTS AND THAT WAS THE LAST THING THAT PJ EXPECTED! PJ HENDRX IS DROPPED ONTO THE CANVAS AND AMIR WASTES NO TIME ROLLING HIM ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOKING THE LEG! COULD AMIR GET AN ELIMINATION UNDER HIS BELT RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW?!?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
…
…
Flannery McCoy: WE ARE NOW DOWN TO FOUR ELITISTS IN THE ELIMINATION CHAMBER!
Stephie Love: PJ HENDRX HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
Jake Mercer: Valiant effort by the up and comer, as he nearly went all the way even when he was one of the first people in this match. Despite that, his run tonight was cut short as he found himself on the receiving end of a rough counter by Amir Yusuf, and is now out. Make no mistake about it, he is the future and if he keeps this up, he could do some big things here in EAW.
(Amir clutches onto the ropes and begins to pull himself up, grabbing the back of his neck in pain and trying to nurse his wounds while eyeing the competition inside of the ring. Bronson is beginning to unload on punches toward Andre in the corner, meanwhile Limmy is on the outside, possibly calculating what he’ll do next. This match is coming down to the wire, and all of these competitors know they’re going to have to pull some big moves out of their arsenal if they want to even come close to winning this one.)
Stew-O: AMIR TURNS AND RUNS FORWARD LOOKING TO LAUNCH HIMSELF OVER THE ROPES TO TAKE DOWN LIMMY! But Limmy manages to move out of the way causing Amir to land awkwardly on the outside! Despite that he manages to recover, and now the two of them are trading blows on the outside! LIMMY LOOKS TO GO FOR A HIGH KNEE TO THE HEAD- But Amir manages to move out of the way before going behind him, GOING FOR A DRAGON SUPLEX- But Limmy manages to break free before spinning around to head behind him, CONNECTING WITH A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Limmy then gets back up to his feet while Amir is up in a seated position, GOING FOR A BOOT TO HIS FACE- But that doesn’t connect with Amir managing to move out of the way, BEFORE SWEEPING THE LEGS OF LIMMY AND DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO THE GROUND! And now Amir mounts on top of him before unloading with vicious rights and lefts!
Flannery McCoy: Meanwhile Bronson has a hold of the head of Andre, MANAGING TO DROP HIM WITH A SNAPMARE! He then runs toward the ropes… GOING FOR A PENALTY KICK TO THE HEAD- But Andre manages to grab a hold of the leg just in time, before then beginning to get up to his feet while Bronson is in his grasp. BRONSON ATTEMPTS TO USE HIS FREE LEG TO CONNECT WITH AN ENZUIGIRI- BUT ANDRE DUCKS UNDER BEFORE GRABBING THE OTHER LEG AND LIFTING HIM OFF THE GROUND, CONNECTING WITH A WHEELBARROW FACEBUSTER TO LEVEL BRONSON DANIELS!
Jake Mercer: Bronson is dropped down to the canvas while Andre then proceeds to lift him off of the canvas, THIS TIME CONNECTING WITH A HUGE URANAGE THAT TAKES HIM OUT COMPLETELY! With Bronson down on the ground, Andre has his focus on the outside, beginning to make his way over and slip through the ropes to attack both Limmy and Amir! Amir gets back up to his feet and approaches Andre, but it’s Andre that manages to connect with a palm uppercut that sends him back into the chainlink! Limmy then gets back up to his feet, ONLY FOR ANDRE TO LIFT HIM UP AND OVER WITH A BACK BODY DROP-
Stew-O: BUT LIMMY LANDS ON HIS FEET! Both of them turn around, ONLY FOR LIMMY TO RUN FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! This sends Andre backward and up against a Chamber Pod, BUT IN AN INSTANT RUNS FORWARD AND LEVELS THE FORMER HARDCORE CHAMPION WITH A HUGE SHOULDER TACKLE! Andre manages to take him down to the mat, BUT TURNS AROUND AND IS MET WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW BY AMIR YUSUF WHICH LEAVES HIM STUNNED! Amir then sets him up, BEFORE JUMPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A JUMPING DDT TO DROP ANDRE DOWN ONTO THE METAL FLOORING!
Flannery McCoy: Andre immediately begins to crawl himself away, and with Amir being the only one up he knows he needs to do something quick if he wants to keep himself in this match. If he can manage to eliminate at least one of them, he is just two people away from righting his wrongs and winning the World Heavyweight Championship. Amir looks at both Andre and Limmy who are stirring, slowly recovering, and he doesn’t have much time. Wait… why is he climbing up the side of the Elimination Chamber???
(Amir claws his way upward up the side of the Elimination Chamber structure, looking down every so often to eye Andre and Limmy who are both getting up and are in fact in prime position for him. He grits his teeth, closing his eyes when he’s at an optimal position, and taking a deep breath…)
Jake Mercer: AMIR LAUNCHES HIMSELF OFF THE SIDE OF THE CHAMBER BEFORE TAKING DOWN BOTH ANDRE AND LIMMY WITH A MOONSAULT!
Stew-O: What a beautiful move by Amir Yusuf, and he’s right back up to his feet looking to continue some offense in hopes of leveling the competition. Andre is seen slowly crawling toward the ropes, and it doesn’t come as much of a surprise to Amir that he’s already stirring, seeing as though he was one of the last people to enter into the match. But he can’t let him go any further. Andre clutches onto the ropes…
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! WHAT THE?! AMIR JUST USED ANDRE AS A STEP STOOL, STOMPING ON HIS BACK AND PROPELLING HIMSELF UPWARD ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! HE THEN EYES BRONSON IN THE RING BEFORE LEAPING OFF AND LOOKING TO TAKE HIM OUT WITH A CROSSBODY!
Jake Mercer: BUT BRONSON CATCHES HIM IN MIDAIR WITH A ‘BATMAN PUNCH’!
Stew-O: BRONSON THEN GRABS A HOLD OF HIM AND BRINGS HIM UP TO HIS FEET, HAVING ALREADY KNOCKED AMIR OUT COLD BUT LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH SOMETHING ELSE FOR GOOD MEASURE…
Flannery McCoy: ‘SAVAGE MODE”! LIFTING UNDERHOOK GUTBUSTER COMPLETELY DROPS AMIR YUSUF COLD! BRONSON FALLS ON TOP OF HIM! SHOULDERS DOWN! COULD WE BE DOWN TO THREE ELITISTS?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
…
…
…
Stephie Love: AMIR YUSUF HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
(An exhausted Bronson Daniels pulls himself off of Amir, slowly inching himself toward the bottom rope and clutching it. It was down to three people in this match, a highly anticipated final three in fact. Andre Walker, Limmy Monaghan… and Bronson. Bronson has seen this film before, Extreme Elimination Chamber 2020. He was the final three alongside Jamie O’Hara and Jack Ripley, before finding himself eliminated in favor of those two. He wasn’t going to let that happen again, he was going to right all of his wrongs, he was going to become a World Champion tonight at Road To Redemption.)
Jake Mercer: Limmy is slowly rising up to his feet, BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING IT’S ANDRE THAT GOES UNDER AND CONNECTS WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO HIS KNEE! Limmy is clutching at his knee now and… what the hell is Andre Walker doing???
(Andre seizes Limmy by the leg, dragging him toward the outside border of the Elimination Chamber. From there he grabs his leg and forces it in between the chain link walls, with Limmy trying to pull himself out, but Andre responds with some punches to the face to keep him there.)
Stew-O: LIMMY’S LEG IS TRAPPED BETWEEN THE CHAINS! AND NOW ANDRE IS BEGINNING TO GO TO TOWN WITH REPEATED STOMPS TOWARD HIS LEG! LIMMY IS SCREAMING IN PAIN AND IS TRYING TO WRENCH HIS LEG OUT OF THERE, BUT THERE’S NOTHING THAT HE CAN DO! THE TANTALIZING OFFENSE OF ANDRE WALKER IS RAINING DOWN ON HIM! AND HIS VICIOUSNESS IS COMING INTO FULL FORM!
(Andre relents and takes a step back, admiring his work while a half-conscious Limmy Monaghan groans in pain. A referee is seen making his way around the structure, quickly checking on the injured ‘Leader’ while Andre then turns around, shaking his head with a grin on his face before looking at who’s inside the ring. Bronson Daniels has finally made his way up, and just like that it feels like all their other encounters all over again.)
Flannery McCoy: ANDRE ENTERS INTO THE RING AND IS MET BY BRONSON DANIELS WHO LEAPS INTO THE AIR FOR A RUNNING CROSSBODY- But Andre catches him, BEFORE LAUNCHING HIM INTO A FALLAWAY SLAM- But before he can do that it’s Bronson that sends repeated strikes toward his face which allows him to get away and create some distance between the two of them! Andre approaches, ONLY FOR BRONSON TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECT WITH A BICYCLE KICK TO HIS FACE! Andre is stunned, WHILE BRONSON CONNECTS WITH ONE MORE FOR GOOD MEASURE! Bronson steps back, GOING FOR A BICYCLE KNEE- But Andre manages to move out of the way, BEFORE GRABBING HIM FROM BEHIND AND LIFTING HIM UP INTO AN ABSOLUTELY THUNDEROUS BACK SUPLEX!
Jake Mercer: Andre then has him by the arm before sending him toward the ropes… ONLY FOR BRONSON TO RUN FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A LOW DROPKICK TO HIS KNEECAP TO LEAVE HIM HOBBLING! Bronson then turns around and runs the ropes… BEFORE LEAPING OFF OF THEM AND DROPPING ANDRE DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY! Bronson then turns himself… BEFORE GOING FOR A ‘FLYING BRONSONS’ ATTEMPT! BOOM DROP TO ANDRE!
Stew-O: BUT ANDRE MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! BRONSON GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET!
Flannery McCoy: ‘KNOW THE LEDGE’! GUILLOTINE CHOKE! GUILLOTINE CHOKE!
Jake Mercer: BRONSON DANIELS PASSED OUT TO THIS SUBMISSION HOLD AT JUSTIFIED RECKONING, ALLOWING ANDRE WALKER TO RETAIN HIS WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP THEN AND THERE! YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, THE MORE THINGS SEEM TO CHANGE, THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME! COULD THIS BE THE END OF BRONSON DANIELS’ ELIMINATION CHAMBER RUN RIGHT HERE???
Stew-O: BRONSON DANIELS IS FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE! WE KNOW HOW HARD HE’S FOUGHT FOR THIS! WE KNOW HOW MUCH HE’S SACRIFICED TO GET TO THIS POINT! IF HIS RUN ENDS RIGHT HERE HIS DREAMS WOULD BE CRUSHED! MONTHS OF FIGHTING TO GET TO THIS POINT, THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! COULD THIS SPELL THE END OF IT???
Flannery McCoy: YOU CAN SEE BRONSON FADING! HIS LIGHTS SLOWLY BEGINNING TO CUT OUT! THIS COULD VERY WELL BE WHAT HE WAS DREADING THIS ENTIRE MATCH! THE END ALL BE ALL FOR HIM!
…
…
…
Jake Mercer: WAIT! BRONSON BEGINS WILDLY FLAILING AGAIN! HE GETS A HOLD OF ANDRE! WHAT THE HELL! HOW IS HE LIFTING HIM UP! BRONSON IS GETTING BACK UP TO HIS FEET WITH ANDRE IN HIS ARMS! WHAT STRENGTH! WHERE IS BRONSON DANIELS EVEN GETTING THIS RIGHT NOW! HE LIFTS HIM UP! BUT BEFORE HE CAN SLAM HIM BACK DOWN ANDRE REALIZES THE TROUBLE THAT HE’S IN AND LETS GO!
Stew-O: ANDRE REALIZES THAT HE NEEDS TO FOLLOW THIS UP WITH SOMETHING FAST! ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE’!
Flannery McCoy: BUT BRONSON CATCHES HIS HEAD BETWEEN HIS LEGS AND HOOKS THE ARMS BEFORE LIFTING HIM INTO ‘SAVAGE MODE’! THE LIFTING DOUBLE UNDERHOOK GUTBUSTER TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH BRONSON QUICKLY HOOKING THE LEG!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
…
…
Jake Mercer: WE ARE GUARANTEED A NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
Stew-O: NOT! BY A HAIR! JUST BARELY! ANDRE KICKS OUT!
Flannery McCoy: Bronson Daniels doesn’t even have enough power left in him to respond to that, but it’s obvious he can’t believe his eyes right now! Andre Walker managed to escape out of that and find himself a way to continue in this match, but how much does he have left? Better yet, how much do any of these Elitists have left???
(Bronson clutches at the corner, pulling himself up once more while Andre just begins to stir. Whatever he has in mind to put this match away, he knows that he has to do it now. But before he can, something catches his eye, and the crowd can see it as well as they erupt.)
Jake Mercer: LIMMY MONAGHAN! LIMMY MONAGHAN IS HERE! HE MANAGED TO GET HIMSELF FREE AND ALTHOUGH THAT RIGHT LEG OF HIS IS HURT HE STILL FINDS THE POWER LEFT IN HIM TO REFUSE HELP AND ENTER INTO THE RING! HE’S YELLING SOMETHING AT BRONSON FROM ACROSS THE RING! WITH ANDRE SLOWLY BEGINNING TO RISE BACK UP! IT SEEMS THE TWO OF THEM ARE AGREEING ON SOMETHING TO TAKE OUT ANDRE WALKER!
Stew-O: ‘MICKEY I JUST KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF’!
Flannery McCoy: AND LIMMY GOES FOR ‘GEAR FIVE’ AT THE SAME TIME!
Jake Mercer: DOUBLE SWINGING BACK ELBOWS TO ANDRE WALKER TO FINISH THIS MATCH OFF!
Stew-O: NO! NO! ANDRE JUST MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER IT! LIMMY AND BRONSON CONNECT WITH ONE ANOTHER TAKING THEMSELVES OUT!
Flannery McCoy: ANDRE KNOWS WHAT HE HAS TO DO AS HE BRINGS THE FIRST PERSON THAT HE SEES UP TO HIS FEET WHICH IS BRONSON DANIELS! HE POPS HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS!
Jake Mercer: POWERBOMB! RIGHT INTO A FALLING FOREARM! ‘HONOR KILLED THE SAMURAI’ CONNECTS WITH BRONSON DROPPED AND ANDRE HOLDING THE PIN! PIN ATTEMPT! PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNNEEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
…
…
Stephie Love: BRONSON DANIELS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
(Andre plops down onto the canvas, with Bronson completely knocked out as well. And before you know it… we are down to the final two.)
Stew-O: Limmy Monaghan has been chasing this dream for a year now, scratching and clawing his way to the very top through struggles and trials and torment, all to transcend this stigma that’s been placed upon him and become something more. Having not fought for the World Heavyweight Championship once this Season, he has been on a constant grind to get himself to this point, to get himself to Road To Redemption…
Flannery McCoy: … But he also stands across the ring from someone who he has not faced this entire Season despite both being on the level to do so, Andre Walker. Someone who has desecrated and demolished any sort of competition that has stood in front of him, and left a trail of bodies in his path, his reign of terror as Interwire Champion at the time and World Heavyweight Champion today. Tonight, Road To Redemption marks day 168 of his Championship reign, and he is not going to let that slip at all.
(The crowd is unhinged right now with both Andre and Limmy beginning to slowly rise up to their feet, a showdown for the ages, one to behold. Finally, two of Dynasty’s undoubtable best go at it, and only one of them can end this match calling themselves the World Heavyweight Champion.)
Jake Mercer: AND HERE WE GO! LIMMY AND ANDRE IMMEDIATELY GO AT ONE ANOTHER! BOTH OF THEM TRADING VICIOUS PUNCHES BACK AND FORTH! BACK AND FORTH! BACK AND FORTH! LIMMY! ANDRE! LIMMY! ANDRE! LIMMY! ANDRE! LIMMY! ANDRE!
Stew-O: BUT LIMMY CONNECTS WITH A KICK TO THE ABDOMEN! TURNING HIMSELF AROUND AND RUNNING THE ROPES… BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR FOR A ‘DIABLE JAMBE’! BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE!
Flannery McCoy: IT CONNECTS! BUT ANDRE HOLDS HIS GROUND AND LAUNCHES HIMSELF INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH ‘OZYMANDIAS’! SUPERMAN PUNCH!
Jake Mercer: BUT LIMMY STAYS UP AS WELL! WHAT THE HELL HAS GOTTEN INTO THESE TWO?! WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE!
Stew-O: Andre grabs Limmy by the arm and sends him toward the ropes, ALLOWING LIMMY TO USE THE MOMENTUM TO SPIN AROUND AND GO FOR A DISCUS CLOTHESLINE- BUT ANDRE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A CLOTHESLINE OF HIS OWN- BUT LIMMY DUCKS UNDER THAT AND RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK… BEFORE LAUNCHING INTO THE AIR AND GOING FOR A STANDING FRANKENSTEINER TO THE HEAD!
Flannery McCoy: BUT ANDRE KEEPS HIM IN THE AIR AND SLAMS HIM DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS WITH A POWERBOMB!
Jake Mercer: BEFORE GOING FOR A FALLING FOREARM! THE MOVE THAT ELIMINATED BRONSON DANIELS! ‘HONOR KILLED THE SAMURAI’!
Stew-O: BUT JUST IN TIME IT’S LIMMY THAT MANAGES TO MOVE HIS HEAD TO THE SIDE AND AVOID THE FOREARM TO THE FACE!
Flannery McCoy: HE NAILS HIM WITH A HEADBUTT TO THE SKULL WHICH FORCES ANDRE TO LET GO AND TAKE A STEP BACK! LIMMY GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET WHILE ANDRE RUNS FORWARD- ONLY FOR LIMMY TO THROW HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND SEND HIM CRASHING DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE AREA! LIMMY THEN TURNS HIMSELF AROUND AND RUNS THE ROPES WHILE ANDRE BEGINS TO RECOVER ON THE OUTSIDE… TOPE CON HILO!
Jake Mercer: BUT ANDRE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY CAUSING LIMMY TO CRASH AND BURN! LIMMY GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET, BUT ANDRE HAS HIM BY BEHIND AND ABSOLUTELY LAUNCHES HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND BACK INTO THE RING!
Stew-O: ANDRE ENTERS BACK INTO THE RING ONLY FOR LIMMY TO SHOOT RIGHT BACK UP AND CONNECT WITH A STANDING STO! LIMMY RUNS THE ROPES… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A JUMPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE CHEST TO ABSOLUTELY CAVE ANDRE WALKER IN! ANDRE SITS UP!
Flannery McCoy: ALLOWING LIMMY TO GO FOR A ‘GEAR 5’ ATTEMPT! SWINGING ELBOW TO THE HEAD OF ANDRE WALKER!
Jake Mercer: BUT ANDRE MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES AND BACK… LAUNCHING FOR A SPEAR! ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE”!
Stew-O: BUT LIMMY LEAPFROGS OVER THAT! ANDRE GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET WHILE LIMMY RUNS FORWARD!
Flannery McCoy: BUT ANDRE POPS HIM OFF OF THE GROUND BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A POWERBOMB! HE’S GOING FOR ‘HONOR KILLED THE SAMURAI’ AGAIN!
Jake Mercer: BUT LIMMY DROPS ANDRE WITH A HURRICANRANA BEFORE HE CAN! ANDRE DROPS DOWN BUT QUICKLY GETS BACK UP AND RUNS THE ROPES! ‘OZYMANDIAS’! ONE MORE SUPERMAN PUNCH!
Stew-O: LIMMY GRABS THE ARM AND CONNECTS WITH ‘GOD OF DESTRUCTION’S WRATH! SHORT-ARM LARIAT OUT OF PURE DESPERATION!
Flannery McCoy: BUT WAIT! HE ROLLS ANDRE THROUGH…
Jake Mercer: ‘GEAR 5’! THE SWINGING ELBOW CONNECTS! LIMMY HOOKS THE LEG! NEW CHAMPION! NEW CHAMPION!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!

…
Stew-O: LIMMY MONAGHAN HAS DONE IT! YOUR NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Limit Break X Survivor’ is heard blasting through the speakers with the crowd on their feet in pure excitement thanks to that finish. Limmy Monaghan drags himself off of the body of Andre Walker, clutching at his leg while dragging himself toward the ropes to help himself up to his feet. The Chamber door opens and an official is seen entering inside, World Heavyweight Championship in his hand as he makes his way over and hands it to the new Champion.)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HERE IS YOUR WINNER… AND NEW!!! WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!! LIMMY MONAGHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: SDLKsldkl:akdlkandlknadlknadlknadnlkalks
Gavin Kirkland: (off-camera) slfdkalkdnalkdakldnalkdalkjndalkdlkdslklWNLNDKLASDL
Stew-O: Limmy Monaghan, after a long year of pain and struggle, HAS DONE IT! He has fought through the odds, and now is able to call himself the NEW World Heavyweight Champion! This also means that he is a TRIPLE CROWN CHAMPION!
Flannery McCoy: Wow, what an opener to the Road To Redemption event folks, I can’t even believe my eyes. Andre Walker, someone who has been dominant this entire 2022, ends the year off with his first OFFICIAL pinfall loss at the hands of ‘The Leader’. Limmy Monaghan had the fullest intentions of ascending to new heights this Season, becoming the World Champion and solidifying his position as a top star amongst all else.
Stew-O: In the end he has FULFILLED that! All of this struggle, all this perseverance, it was finally for something. Now he has the right to call himself the NEW World Heavyweight Champion! What a sight! And once again what an opening to Road To Redemption!
(Limmy takes the Championship into his hands, no shock whatsoever, just a big grin. He gets back up to his feet, and raises it high into the air, while pyro begins to shoot out from the stage and confetti begins to rain down on top of him. Amidst it all he keeps a semi-calm composure, realizing that everything he has fought for has been accomplished, and he has truly become who he has aspired to be… ‘The Leader’. The last shot seen is Limmy gripping the World Heavyweight Championship close to his chest, saying something toward the camera that was facing him.)
Limmy Monaghan: (Off-Mic) Season 16 is MINE.
(Dynasty returns as the camera cuts down to the ring. It’s the usual set-up for a contract signing; table, two chairs, and pens right in the middle, but there is a certain buzz in the air. Since Fighting Spirit, the wrestling world has been talking about this particular clash of two Elitists who have the potential to go down in history as all-time greats. It hasn’t been without drama, though, and that is thanks in part to Myles allowing his emotions to get the better of him. No fan will ever forget the image of Limmy crumpled on the mat on Dynasty, struggling to breathe. That night put this entire main event in jeopardy. But despite the injuries, Limmy has vowed to defend the World Heavyweight Championship and Myles has promised he will do what’s necessary to win and become a three-time world champion.)
(Stephie Love is standing outside the ring.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen… please welcome the General Manager of Friday Night Dynasty… TYRONE MONTGOMERY!!!!
(Tyrone, who is already in the ring, grins as the crowd pops.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Well, I’ll be honest. When I started my first full season as the general manager of Friday Night Dynasty, I didn’t expect to be ending it by conducting a contract signing I’m not sure I agree with.
(Tyrone pauses for a moment to allow his words to sink in and the audience knows what he means. As much as they want to see this all-time dream match between Limmy Monaghan and Myles, they have reservations about it themselves considering the condition their beloved World Heavyweight Champion is in.)
Tyrone Montgomery: I appreciate the tenacity and fighting spirit of every Elitist on Dynasty, but sometimes you have to press your internal pause button and look at the bigger picture. Limmy Monaghan is a young man with a bright future ahead of him, even though his past and his present have been littered with big-time wins and multiple championship reigns. I firmly believe there is so much more he is capable of and even though he insists on heading to Pain for Pride and defending his World Heavyweight Championship, I still don’t necessarily agree with his decision. For an athlete like Limmy, I firmly believe there will be other Pain for Pride main events and more world title reigns, but if there’s something even I can’t argue with, it’s the passion Limmy has for his craft and continuing to grow his own legacy. Even in the face of adversity, he still wants to put his best foot forward and go through with this match against one of the most dangerous and most talented men to ever step foot inside of EAW.
(There’s a small scattering of boos from the crowd and Tyrone’s lips form a smirk.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Of course I’m talking about Myles.
(The boos get louder, although there’s a lot of cheers mixed in there as well. A lot of fans, especially the diehard Voltage faithful, know that Myles has been through a lot this season. Yes, a lot of his issues have been self-inflicted, but what happened to him back at Fighting Spirit was unfair and there’s no denying that.)
Tyrone Montgomery: I, for one, can appreciate Myles’ journey to get to this match, despite the fact he’s the one who put it in jeopardy. Dude has been through a lot this season and I will take nothing away from him. He is one of the greatest Elitists in EAW today, which is why this potential Pain for Pride main event is so tantalizing; two incredible athletes who are driven by their sheer will to win and be the best there is. Who doesn’t want to see this match?
(This time, there’s not a single boo. EVERYONE erupts into cheers because they want Tyrone to hear how badly they want this match to take place. The GM clutches the microphone in his hand and nods his head.)
Tyrone Montgomery: I get it. Believe me, I do. I can’t say that I am completely onboard with Limmy’s decision to go ahead and step into the ring against Myles, but I won’t stop him either. I should. I should hold off on this match and then have it take place when Limmy is completely healthy, but in a situation like this, I have to go with what the champion wants. Limmy Monaghan has promised that nothing is going to stop him from defending his championship at Pain for Pride, including any decision that I feel the need to make on his behalf, so here we are. I have to say that in my professional opinion, I don’t believe Limmy Monghan should compete at Pain for Pride. I believe it’s in his best interests to look at his own personal bigger picture and live to fight another day. Allowing this match to take place goes against my better judgment, but no one knows Limmy better than he knows himself. So on this table, in front of me, is the contract for the World Heavyweight Championship match at Pain for Pride. Earlier today, Limmy and Myles met with me separately to review the contract and get any questions they had out of the way. Needless to say, both men are ready to put it all on the line come Pain for Pride and even if Limmy isn’t 100%, I have no doubt that this match is going to be an all-time clash featuring two of the very best in the business today. Both men understand what’s going to be on the line come Pain for Pride, and Limmy knows the risk he is taking by climbing into the ring. He knows that his health and well-being could very well be in jeopardy, as well as his future in EAW, but he’s nothing if not determined. So despite my reservations, let’s bring both men out and MAKE THIS MATCH OFFICIAL!!!
(The crowd erupts and ‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi begins to blast across the PA system. The camera goes over to show Myles as he begins to make his way out from the backstage area with a nonchalant expression on his face. He has a casual expression as he scans around while standing at the stage, taking a moment before then beginning to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stew-O: I’m sure it was a relief for Myles to learn that the World Heavyweight Championship match at Pain For Pride wouldn’t be called off, with Limmy coming down to save the entire thing. But I’m sure something he didn’t take kindly was being struck with the title and laid out to end the show last week.
Flannery McCoy: And I’m sure he’s going to have something to say about that. But it’s also something to take note that Limmy isn’t in the best of condition right now, so Myles if he wanted to could very much so get some payback for last week and kick him while he’s down. But I don’t think that’s on his mind right now and more so signing the contract.
(Myles makes his way up the steps and onto the apron, entering into the ring as he rounds the table. He doesn’t sit down, simply standing and staring at the stage with his arms crossed while ‘Enemy Strike’ begins to come to a close. Before long, ‘Limit Break X Survivor’ by Kiyoshi Hikawa [DUB] begins to play and the crowd cheers loudly as the camera then goes over to show Limmy Monaghan begin to make his way out. He has a light smile on his face as he has the World Heavyweight Championship around his waist, still very hurt but mustering out the strength to keep it on the low as he makes his way down the ramp.)
Jake Mercer: My Leader, look how hurt he is right now… 😔
Flannery McCoy: Well this is what Limmy wanted and I’m sure that he wouldn’t miss Pain For Pride for the world no matter what condition he was in. Myles may have injured him but he didn’t kill him so he’s out here tonight on a mission and that’s to make it known no matter what it is, he will be ready to fight for his title.
(Limmy makes his way up the steps and onto the apron before slowly entering into the ring. He greets Tyrone with a slight nod of the head before then taking a seat, trying to conserve as much energy as he can right now. ‘Limit Break X Survivor’ begins to come to a close as everyone begins to settle in.)
(Tyrone motions for Myles to take a seat, but the former two-time EAW World Champion just shakes his head. He looks across the table at Limmy, who’s seated and calm, and then his gaze goes to the glittering World Heavyweight Championship that Limmy sat in the middle of the table.)
Myles: I guess I should be grateful that this match is still taking place, and I guess I am, but now the narrative has changed. It’s no longer about poor Myles, the charity case. It’s about Limmy Monaghan and whether or not he can defend the World Heavyweight Championship despite all his injuries! I have no doubt that you’re going to come to the ring at Pain for Pride and put up a hell of a fight, but it was already a reach to think you would beat me when I’m this motivated and perfectly healthy. But now that your ribs are busted up, your back is injured, and you’re concussed, what makes you think that you have a legitimate chance of winning now? I have the chance to not only become a three-time world champion at Pain for Pride, but to end your career. I’m sure that in the back of your head, you know that, and that has to be playing on your mind as you prepare to walk into the biggest match of your career. Tyrone laid it out pretty clearly and you are aware of the risk you’re taking by getting into the ring with me.
(Limmy merely nods because what can he say that will possibly dispute that? The people who are closest to him, as well as numerous physicians, have advised him not to compete at Pain for Pride. They have all told how detrimental it could be to the future of his career.)
Myles: So why do you look at me and see a stepping stone towards your career defining moment? I’m not a pushover, nor am I going to play a supporting character in the superhero movie you now think you’re starring in. That’s not how it works. I’m the one who put you in this position in the first place. You know exactly what I’m capable of and deep down, I think you know that I’m capable of much, much more. That’s why everyone is currently scrambling around and trying to protect you right now. You’re a star, Limmy, and people look at you as one of this company’s brightest lights. They don’t want to see your career come to a premature end at my hands, and in a way, I don’t want that either. I have yet to truly enjoy a world championship victory. Now that I’m away from Voltage and looking to win something that my own loved one isn’t chasing, I plan to savor every single moment of this upcoming victory. So be it if that comes at the expense of your career because I’ll be damned if the next chapter of your story is written at my expense.
(Limmy picks his microphone up.)
Limmy Monaghan: You don’t get to decide what role you’re playing this time around. I stepped up and challenged you to this match at Pain for Pride because I wanted to face the best possible Elitist on the biggest stage. When Methuselah started obsessing over Drake, it was all but written that something ridiculous was going to go down the second Methuselah gifted Drake with a title match against you. You had to have seen that coming, Myles, and I refuse to believe that you thought the match was going to be fair. Regardless of the situation surrounding your match against Drake, I saw the perfect opportunity for me to have a dream match per say. I had a lot of respect for you at the time and I knew that the two of us were capable of tearing the house down in Nashville, and believe it or not, a lot of that is still true. You have clearly been in your feelings and lost your temper, over something I never actually said, mind you, but I still believe that whether I’m hurt or not, I can beat you.
(Unable to help himself, Myles rolls his eyes.)
Myles: You know very well that you look at this match like you did a favor for me.
Limmy Monaghan: That’s where our opinions differ, I suppose, because I was excited over the prospect of facing an athlete and wrestler of your caliber. I’m not here to brag, but I have defeated everyone on Dynasty this season and have defended my championship against Hall of Famers and the future greats. There was really no one left for me to face at Pain for Pride from my brand. I’ve proven myself to be the face of Dynasty and its top star, which is why I wanted to jump on the opportunity to face someone I’ve never met in the ring before. I am certainly sympathetic to what you went through at Fighting Spirit, but I wasn’t going to miss out on a chance to capitalize on this kind of opportunity. You are the perfect opponent for me, and why you misconstrued the entire situation in your head and twisted it into something it’s not is beyond me. Maybe you needed the chip on your shoulder. I don’t know what motivates you. Or maybe you just needed me to be your scapegoat. Perhaps your anger towards me is nothing more than you projecting your own insecurities onto someone else. I don’t know.
(Limmy has sat back in his chair and is staring up at Myles.)
Limmy Monaghan: Either way, what was clearly a misunderstanding between the two of us and an assumption of my feelings on your part escalated into a situation that put this match in jeopardy. I’ll be honest with you, Myles, it never once crossed my mind to sit this one out. I’ve had one of the greatest World Heavyweight Championship reigns in history. I have more than earned the right to main event a show like Pain for Pride, and even if I had to be wheeled to ring on a stretcher, I was going to compete. The fact you nearly took that away from me pisses me off but after doing some thinking, I can’t say that I would’ve reacted any differently. I have never been in your shoes before. I’ve never been on top of the world and come crashing down as hard as you did last year at Pain for Pride. You got the girl, but you lost the title and were put on the shelf for the first half of the season. You were forced to watch the world pass you by and I’m sure that ate away at your psyche. When you returned, you were immediately upstaged by the man known as Yhwach O’Hara, and that’s what got people talking. Your own return was marred by something far greater than any of us.
(Limmy pauses and amusement dances in his eyes. He’s carefully designed his words to hurt and they seem to be hitting the mark. Myles’ jaw is clenched and if looks could kill, there wouldn’t be much left of Limmy at the moment.)
Limmy Monaghan: That’s not even the worst of it, though.
Myles: Don’t go there, Limmy.
Limmy Monaghan: :mjgrin: Congratulations on winning her back.
(Myles says nothing but his hands have clenched and formed two fists.)
Limmy Monghan: The point I’m making is that I can see why you’ve been walking around with so much anger and hate inside of you. It was eventually going to bubble up and boil over, and I was on the receiving end of it. But listen very carefully, Myles. I want your very best at Pain for Pride and if that means you feel the urge to try and end my career, then fine. I don’t want you to hold back. You’re right about one thing. This is MY defining moment. This match and this World Heavyweight Championship mean everything to me, and whether I walk out of Nashville at 100 percent or I barely walk out at all, I am going to carry this World Heavyweight Championship with me.
(Tyrone chooses that moment to clear his throat. The tension was thicker than Ronn Banks in a sundress and the GM just wanted to get both men to sign the contract and get them out of the ring.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Gentlemen.
(He gestures towards the pens and Limmy reaches them first. He grabs one and rolls the other towards Myles. The challenger snatches the pen up and quickly signs his name on the allotted line. Limmy follows suit and the crowd can’t help but reach a crescendo. No matter what, Limmy Monaghan versus Myles is happening and they couldn’t be more amped for it.)
(Tyrone takes the contract, places it in a red binder, and goes to leave the ring. Very gingerly, Limmy stands up and he reaches for his championship. Before he can collect it, Myles grabs Limmy’s arm.)
Myles: (off-mic) Fuck you.
Flannery McCoy: OH COME ON!
Stew-O: MYLES JUST SUCKERED PUNCHED LIMMY IN THE JAW AND THE CHAMP GOES DOWN!
Jake Mercer: MYLES LEAPS OVER THE TABLE AND IS PEPPERING LIMOMMY WITH FOREARM SHOTS! HE SNATCHES LIMMY UP BY THE HAIR AND LOOKS TO PUT HIM IN THE ‘DE FACTO’ BUT LIMMY FIGHTS BACK! HE RAKES MYLES ACROSS THE FACE AND ELBOWS HIM IN THE TEMPLE! LISTEN TO THIS CROWD AS THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION IS TAKING THE FIGHT TO MYLES!
Flannery McCoy: BOTH MEN ARE EXCHANGING RIGHTS AND LEFTS NOW, AND IT’S LIMMY WHO BACKS MYLES INTO THE CORNER! LIMMY IS NOW STOMPING A MUDHOLE INTO MYLES, FORCING HIM INTO A SITTING POSITION, AND HE DRIVES HIS KNEE INTO MYLES’ FACE! LIMMY PULLS MYLES OUT OF THE CORNER BUT MYLES CATCHES HIM WITH A SHOT TO THOSE INJURED RIBS!
Stew-O: MYLES WITH ANOTHER SHOT TO THE RIBS AND LIMMY IS FORCED TO LET HIM GO! MYLES IS NOW UNLOADING ON LIMMY WITH BOXING STYLE PUNCHES TO THE RIBCAGE AND HE GRABS MYLES, SNAPPING HIM TO THE MAT WITH A SUPLEX! HE’S PUTTING THE BOOTS TO LIMMY NOW AND LIMMY CAN DO NOTHING TO DEFEND HIMSELF! MYLES HAS HIM DOWN AND IF THIS HAPPENS AT PAIN FOR PRIDE, WE COULD HAVE A NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
(Myles continues to beat on the defenseless Limmy, eventually targeting the head. Limmy is a sitting duck at this point and the crowd is coming unglued. Once Myles is satisfied that he’s done enough, he finally relents and gets to his feet. He takes a look around the crowd and they are not happy with him at all. A look of disgust crosses Myles face and he eyes the table.)
Flannery McCoy: NO! Can someone please send security out here?!
(Flannery’s pleas fall on deaf ears as Myles picks up Limmy. He slams him through the table with the ‘De Facto’, breaking it in half, and there’s not an ounce of remorse on his face. He sees the World Heavyweight Championship lying beside Limmy and he picks it up. Myles brushes his hand over the nameplate and his lips twist into a smirk.)
Jake Mercer: This soulless ginger. I’m sick.
(The boos are deafening as Myles holds up the World Heavyweight Championship.)
Stew-O: I don’t feel good about Limmy’s chances at Pain for Pride. I don’t feel good about them at all.
(The final shot of the final Dynasty of Season 16 is of Myles dropping the title down on Limmy’s chest and soaking in the reaction of the crowd. The commentary team signs off and Dynasty fades to nothingness.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
