(EAW intro plays.)
(As per, a recap of last week’s Friday Night Dynasty is shown: Ruler kicks off the show saying whoever wins between Alex Myers and Abel Atami he’s coming for looking to become the next New Breed Champion. Ruler then gets a victory over Shane Gates. BULLETSTORM and Soul Food Sunday have a heated sitdown which almost escalates into a brawl but cools down with Astraea and Viz deciding to leave with an unhappy SOSA and Aurora watching on. Joso gets a win over PJ Hendrx. Bronson Daniels makes his spot on the Brand Warfare team official as he makes a statement saying that Dynasty is going to win this year. Caroline rolls up Jay Jerry Johnson for the win. Albert Hitchman compares the careers of both Amir Yusuf and Andre Walker with some obvious bias before the camera goes to an interview with Amir who is unaffected by it and is more focused on proving everyone wrong ahead of his match at Territorial Invasion. Aurora Monroe gets a victory over Milli Banks. Serenity Valdez makes a statement toward Ayu Megumi before their Voltage match for the Specialists Championship in an interview. Amir Yusuf gets a victory over The Visual Prophet thanks to a BULLETSTORM interference. Serena Bennett is attacked by Kassidy Heart during an interview before warning her of what’s to come in the weeks leading up to Territorial Invasion. Andre Walker gets a victory over Astraea Jordan. Limmy Monaghan, Joso, and Serenity Valdez cut a passionate promo staking a claim and looking to walk into Anarchy in The Arena and out of it as the victors. Then in the main event, Limmy gets a victory over Voltage’s Hikari Kanno to end the show and the recap from there.)
(Friday Night Dynasty then goes to the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany where a clean version of Denzel Curry’s “P.A.T.” is heard playing through the speakers of the arena with pyro shooting out from the stage. The camera pans around at the hyped crowd here tonight and the overall exciting atmosphere, before then going to the announcer’s table. Stew-O, Flannery McCoy, and Jake Mercer are seen standing by as they welcome the camera with smiles before Stew begins to speak.)
Stew-O: Ladies and gentlemen we are just a week away from one of the most exciting times of the year for Elite Answers Wrestling… TERRITORIAL INVASION! Welcoming you tonight to another jam-packed episode of FRIDAY NIGHT DYNASTY!!!
Jake Mercer: DYNASTY! DYNASTY! DYNASTY! TEAM SPIRIT! GUYS CMON! WHERE ARE WE AT???
Flannery McCoy: Well I’m certainly feeling some pride in our brand right now as we come to you tonight with an excellent go-home show planned. In our main event, we have Limmy Monaghan and Joso going up against Madison Kaline and Bronson Daniels as the two Anarchy in The Arena and Brand Warfare teams collide in friendly competition. Meanwhile, Serena Bennett and SOSA Henderson face off in a highly anticipated matchup as the two of them look to continue their fabled history with one another in our semi-main! But focusing on the now, it seems like we have a special guest in the ring here tonight!
(Friday Night Dynasty then breaks away from the commentary table before showing a shot of the crowd once again, while in the background Stephie Love is heard speaking.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… BERLIN’S OWN!!!!!!!!!! EAW HALL OF FAMER… MASTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The crowd response is thunderous as they shower Masters with a warm welcome, who is seen standing inside the ring with a big smile on his face. He stands inside the ring with a microphone in his hand, letting the crowd get their excitement out before ultimately beginning to speak.)
Masters: Thank you, thank you. I know it’s been quite some time since I’ve last been on EAW television, but hearing that Friday Night Dynasty was going to be in my hometown of Berlin, Germany tonight, Tyrone Montgomery gave me an opportunity I couldn’t refuse. Because I’m here, in front of all of you, tonight to host the final encounter of one of the most anticipated Territorial Invasion 2022 matches on the cars. One that will be contested for the EAW World Heavyweight Championship between arguably two of the best that Friday Night Dynasty has to offer, and personally, I can’t wait. Two people that have stood out in their own respective ways and have made it known that they desire that top position and are not going to stop until they get there, which gives this match between the two of them that extra competitiveness and drive to succeed. With just a week away, this face-to-face between the two of them to kick off Dynasty tonight is sure to be passionate and I’m sure these two Elitists are excited to make it known why they’re going to be the ones to walk out as the World Heavyweight Champion next week.
(The crowd cheers while the World Heavyweight Championship match pic for Territorial Invasion flashes across the titantron. Masters pauses for a moment before continuing.)
Masters: But you’re not here to hear it from me, let’s hear it from the Elitists themselves who have been waiting for this very moment. Let’s introduce the challengers first, and in my eyes someone more than deserving of the position he’s been placed in. From the beginning he’s gone the extra mile to stand out from the rest, making a name for himself and promising that he’s going to be the future of Elite Answers Wrestling. And although there have been some roadblocks in the way of that, and he’s found himself on the receiving end more than once, now more than ever he’s presented with the opportunity that he’s been waiting a long time for. Please welcome at this time… AMIR YUSUF!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘A Stranger I Remain’ by Free Dominguez is heard playing up with the camera going from the ring to the stage to show Amir Yusuf making his way out from the backstage area and to the stage. He has his arms spread out with a smirk on his face as he scans the arena for a short moment. He takes the time to make a Championship gesture around his waist, signifying his prediction for what’s going to happen at Territorial Invasion, before then beginning to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stew-O: Last week we saw Amir Yusuf in action as he picked up a huge win against The Visual Prophet, albeit through nefarious ways, but I doubt he’s going to complain much about that rather how much this match means to him especially heading into Territorial Invasion.
Flannery McCoy: At Pain For Pride XV, we saw Andre Walker beat The Visual Prophet as well to win the World Heavyweight Championship along with retaining the Interwire Championship. With Amir Yusuf having jumped through the same hoops as he did, does it come into question for ‘The Kaiser’ whether or not Amir is actually ready for this Championship match at Territorial Invasion?
Jake Mercer: Highly unlikely, but perhaps if he gets injured crowd diving and we have to crown a new challenger, so then he comes back and wins, then does a press conference where he kinda goes off script before fighting the members of the board… I’ll think about it.
Stew-O & Flannery McCoy: ???
(Amir jumps onto the apron and enters the ring before once again turning toward the crowd and spreading his arms out. He turns around to look at Masters who holds his hand out to shake, which he slowly reciprocates before turning around and being handed a microphone from the ringside area. ‘A Stranger I Remain’ then begins to fade out from there while Amir continuing to keep a smirk on his face holds up his microphone and begins to speak.)
Amir Yusuf: Masters, I appreciate the introduction, because you have echoed word-for-word EXACTLY what I’ve been trying to say to everyone on this microphone. Contrary to what people might think about me, there is no one more worthy of fighting for that World Heavyweight Championship than Amir Yusuf. There is nobody that has had to sacrifice as much as I had and go through what I’ve gone through to get to this point, and they’re a liar if they try to say otherwise. Now I know not a lot of people are rooting for me at Territorial Invasion, if anything I can bet that I’m the person they least expect to win at the event. But you know what, that’s fine; because I’ve always been the last person that people expect to win anything, and guess what happens? Here I am, standing before you today with the chance to have the World in the palm of my hands. But I don’t need you to hear that, I frankly don’t give a damn about what any of you think about it because it’s not like any of you supported me in the first place. Who I do want to say it to is the Champion himself. So Masters, if you may…
(Amir takes a step back allowing Masters to take the stage as he begins to speak once again.)
Masters: If we were ever to choose an early runner-up for Elitist of the Decade, I guarantee you that this man would be on the list. There is nobody that has done what he has in such a short time, and the type of accomplishments that he has under his belt are some that people could only dream about achieving. That’s just the type of Elitist he is, and why he is in the spot that he’s in today. So many challengers have stepped up to the plate and never once has he backed down. He has handled them with scary ease and has proven to the world why he is THE World Champion here in Elite Answers Wrestling. So please welcome here tonight… ANDRE WALKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Leaving Caladan’ by Hans Zimmer is heard playing up with the camera then going to Andre Walker, accompanied by Albert Hitchman, beginning to slowly make their way out. The crowd greets them with a negative reaction, but Andre chooses to ignore it as he instead holds his hand out to be given his World Heavyweight Championship, which he takes and raises into the air while pyro is seen shooting out behind him. Andre then looks toward the ring, a small grin beginning to show as he throws his Championship over his shoulder and then begins to make his way down the ramp, continuing his entrance.)
Stew-O: On the other hand, we have the Champion, who also ended up getting a win of his own last week facing Astraea Jordan. I’m sure he’s certainly pleased about that, but he knows that his work isn’t over just yet. done just yet and now his final stop lies just a week away at Territorial Invasion against that person in the ring, Amir Yusuf.
Flannery McCoy: It’s been made very apparent that Andre doesn’t see Amir as a worthy challenger, and while Amir has done everything to prove him wrong, I don’t think his perspective has changed since the challenge was first laid out at Poor Unfortunate Souls. Who knows, maybe Amir might prove him wrong, but let’s remember that Andre Walker isn’t saying that for no reason. He’s saying that out of experience from facing the very best that this company has to offer, Amir might just end up being another casualty in the face of Andre’s dominant reign as THE Champion in Elite Answers Wrestling.
Jake Mercer: I agree. ☝☝☝
(Andre makes his way up the steel steps, looking out to the crowd one more time before entering the ring. He then takes his World Heavyweight Championship and raises it into the air at the center of the ring while Albert makes his way around and snatches a microphone. From there he enters while both Andre and Albert meet and look toward Amir who is casually leaning in his corner unphased by all of this. ‘Leaving Caladan’ then begins to come to a close from there while Albert begins to speak toward the microphone.)
Albert Hitchman: Right you are Masters, no denying what you’re saying. Let me repeat what you said to really hammer it away for the people at home, in the fact that there is nobody that has done what Andre Walker has done in the amount of time that he has done so. Nobody, name anyone, they can’t even hold a candle to what he’s done since walking into this company just two years ago. He has shattered records, dominated, reigned, and solidified himself as being at the very top of the totem pole, and nobody has been able to even come close to that at all. He truly is ‘The Kaiser’, a name only fit for someone like himself, and a Kaiser much more… than you my friend.
(Albert looks toward Masters as he chuckles in response to his shot toward him.)
Masters: I see what you’re getting at, and I’m not going to deny that he poses some threat to my alias of being ‘The Kaiser of EAW’, I’ll give credit where credit is due. But seeing as that’s been made evident here tonight, seeing as I’m personally out here, I’d love to see how Andre is going to do at Territorial Invasion. Perhaps if he gets the win over Amir here, he could prove himself to be the true modern-day Kaiser, I’ll give him that.
(Albert mouths the words “Easy” repeatedly while Andre holds out his hand to be granted the microphone. He’s not exactly focused on Masters’ challenge, while more his challenger at Territorial Invasion at the moment. Amir is seen in the corner sarcastically yawning before pushing himself out of it and beginning to approach the World Heavyweight Champion. Andre simply keeps his straightforward face as he brings his microphone up and begins to speak.)
Andre Walker: I appreciate the vigor, even with this immense obstacle standing in your way, you face it with the utmost confidence in your abilities and what you’re capable of as an Elitist. That’s something that I’ll give you credit for, just like anyone else that has the balls to step up to me. But unfortunately, just like everyone else, that’s where your luck begins to run dry. Because while you could get away with saying that against just about anyone else, you have made a death wish deciding to even entertain the fact that you can pose some sort of threat against me. Yeah, I’ve heard the words you spoke, I’ve listened intently in hopes of understanding my opponent heading into Territorial Invasion. But one thing I will truly never understand is this idea that you’re going to be the one to presumably end it all for me. I mean, one Championship down, now that the Interwire Championship is out of my grasp you think you have the facilities to take the World Heavyweight Championship as well? Nobody is buying it. You can continue to fool yourself as long as you want, but you can find out for yourself that everyone else has fallen before me for a reason, and deep down you know exactly why.
Amir Yusuf: You talk about how you don’t care about losing the Interwire Championship, Joso beat you and so what? You have the World Heavyweight Championship so suddenly you have this level of comfortability in knowing you somehow have some form of credibility to your name. But you fail to understand that Joso beating you proves everything that I’ve said, and that’s more the fact that I can beat you as well. Because just like me, you looked at Joso as someone that was way out of his league, someone who didn’t deserve to be in the ring against you and who was going to end up being just another defense to your name. But then you lost and then what? It showed that you can be beaten, and sooner or later your words are going to come back to bite you just like they will right here. You can say what you want about me, you can continue looking down at me and scoffing at the mere thought of me even coming close to pinning your shoulders down for the three, but when it happens… then what? I’m not just fighting for the World Heavyweight Championship because it’s the top of the business, I’m fighting for it because I know exactly who I am and the type of level that I deserve to be at. And nobody will ever be able to take that away from me because I am simply undeniable, and I will prove just that by shocking the world and walking out with a Championship around my waist.
Andre Walker: You talk about Joso and you use him as a point to strengthen your argument, but if you paid attention to what I was saying these past couple of weeks you’d know that there was one thing I took out of Poor Unfortunate Souls that I apply to Territorial Invasion. It’s that not just Joso, but Ruler as well would talk about all this, everything they’d done, and hope that it would be enough to back up their claims of becoming the next Interwire Champion. And while that’d be a convincing argument to someone else much lesser than them, they fail to understand that it’s rookie numbers if you face someone like myself, or frankly anyone else that has met as much success as I have albeit less convincing. The standards are higher against me, and you fail to understand that, especially when we bring your match against The Visual Prophet into consideration which I know you’re going to inevitably bring up at some point. I get you’re comfortable with doing just that, but unless it was Pain For Pride last week and you’re suddenly the World Heavyweight Champion and Interwire Champion now, I’m not convinced, and for good reason. I will continue to be unconvinced, and at Territorial Invasion you will leave me unimpressed when this ends up being just another Andre Walker Championship defense.
Amir Yusuf: What’s wrong with saying I beat The Visual Prophet? I saw that, you saw that, and I personally don’t care how it went down, in my eyes, it proves a hell of a lot considering everything that you’ve been saying toward me. I can face World Championship contenders, furthermore, I can beat them as well. And while a lot of people want to say that I’m prime midcard material and that is forever how I’m going to be defined, I am setting out to break that mold and every single week I get one step closer to doing that. I’m sick of this Andre, I’m sick of this back and forth that the two of us have been having that is getting us nowhere, all of it. I personally cannot wait for Territorial Invasion to come around so I can finally shut you up for good and if you need any more proof of that…
(Amir trails off and drops his microphone down to the ground, leaving Andre confused for a moment as he shakes his head.)
Stew-O: AMIR JUST STEPPED TO HIS SIDE AND KICKED ALBERT HITCHMAN IN THE FACE WITH A SUPERKICK! ANDRE IS SHOCKED MOMENTARILY AND THAT MOMENT OF VULNERABILITY ALLOWS AMIR TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND ATTACK HIM WITH A BARRAGE OF PUNCHES! AMIR IS GOING HAM RIGHT NOW AS THIS HAS DISSOLVED INTO A HUGE BRAWL BEFORE OUR VERY EYES! MASTERS HAS DECIDED TO STEP BACK AND LET THESE TWO ELITISTS FIGHT IT OUT WHILE AMIR HAS ANDRE BACKED INTO THE CORNER RIGHT NOW!
Flannery McCoy: AMIR THEN GRABS ANDRE BY THE ARM AND SENDS HIM TOWARD THE ROPES… ONLY FOR ANDRE TO CONNECT WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! AMIR GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET, ONLY FOR ANDRE TO SCOOP HIM UP AND CONNECT WITH A SAMOAN DROP TO FOLLOW UP! AMIR CONTINUES TO PERSIST YET THAT MIGHT NOT WORK OUT IN HIS FAVOR ALL THAT MUCH WITH ANDRE LYING IN WAIT!
Jake Mercer: RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE’! THE SPEAR TO TAKE DOWN AMIR!
Stew-O: BUT AMIR LEAPFROGS OVER IT BEFORE ROLLING OUT OF THE RING!
(Andre crashes down to the mat while Amir with a smirk begins to back up the ramp. Andre immediately goes over to check on Albert who is knocked out cold while Amir is heard yelling at him in retreat.)
Amir Yusuf: (Off-Mic) COME TERRITORIAL INVASION, THAT WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP IS MINE!
(Amir then makes his way to the backstage area while Andre looks on with a pissed-off expression on his face, it’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty then begins to transition elsewhere from there.)
(A commercial for Daredevil: Born Again is shown hyping up the logo reveal from D2starringng Drake King.)
(“The Dying Song” by Slipknot would begin to blast throughout the arena speakers as Shane Gates would come out from the backstage area, making his way down to the ring. A symphony of loud boos accompanies Gates to the squared circle as he looks unphased by the reaction. He is determined for his match as he goes through the ropes and steps into his corner).
Stephie Love: Introducing first… from Huntington Beach, California… weighing in at 213 pounds… he is The “Natural Born Killer”… SHANE GATES!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: And here comes Shane Gates! A man who has had a very 50/50 last few weeks on Dynasty as of late. Gates, after gaining himself some momentum, was put to the challenge against the number one contender to the New Breed Championship; Ruler just seven days ago, in which he lost. Despite this defeat though, Gates has shown in the past that he can bounce back from such unfortunate events, and he has the chance to do so this week against the debuting Aubrey Mack!
Jake Mercer: Shane Gates is no stranger to facing off against the newer acquisitions of the EAW roster, and he indeed has an advantage because of that. But Aubrey Mack could also very welll pull off a win here tonight against the more experienced Gates. Should be an interesting match to say the least.
(“The Dying Song” slowly fades away as “Mack 10, Mack 10” by Mack 10 hits and Aubrey Mack makes his way out onto the Dynasty stage. The crowd goes from booing to cheering almost instantly as Aubrey Mack walks down the ramp, determined to pull off something great in his first-ever EAW match! Mack slips into the ring as Shane Gates crouches down into his corner eyeing the new star, ready to do whatever it’ll take).
Stephie Love: And his opponent… from Frankfort, Kentucky… weighing in at 216 pounds… The “Big Mack”… AUBREY MACK!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Here he is!! Here is the goat! Here is THE BIG MACK!!! He already has the look, the swagger, and the feel of being a future star here in EAW! I have no doubts about his ability to pull off a great showing, whether a win or a loss occurs for that young man. All he has to do is get Shane Gates down for a one, two, three. The crowd is already loving Mack.
Flannery McCoy: But will Aubrey Mack be able to do just that – Get Gates down for the three? He may have the look and support of the crowd, but will he be able to capitalize against a man who must be nothing but furious after his defeat last week? We will have to see for ourselves!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go! Aubrey Mack steps into an EAW ring for the first time here tonight as he goes up against Shane Gates and immediately both men lock up in the middle of the ring! Gates is able to take the early advantage as he gets Aubrey in a side headlock, but Aubrey is immediately able to get out of the hold and he grabs Gates from around the waist before dropping him with a takedown! Gates has nowhere to go as Aubrey catches him with a knee to the gut!
Flannery McCoy: Shane Gates is trying to get out of the way and get back up to his feet, but Aubrey is holding him down and catches him with yet another knee to the gut, before getting up to his feet as he waits for Gates. Shane is able to slowly make it back up to his feet, as Aubrey Mack runs straight at him, but Shane is able to move out of the way as he throws Aubrey into the ropes, and then Aubrey runs straight into an arm drag!
Jake Mercer: And then Aubrey Mack gets caught with yet another arm drag by Shane Gates and Shane has taken control of this match! Gates keeps a grip on the arm as he continues to wrench on it, and Aubrey just can’t escape from this scenario right now! Shane Gates after a few moments finally lets go of the arm, but he quickly gets Aubrey back up to his feet and he connects with a huge right-… but no! Aubrey ducks it and he goes down and under and into a rollup!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Shane Gates manages to kick out as both men get back up to their feet, but Aubrey Mack takes the time to show off! You can tell that Gates is not in the mood right now, as he runs right at Aubrey, but Aubrey is able to quickly move out of the way before running the ropes, and he catches Gates with a swift dropkick in one fluent motion! Aubrey Mack is showing off his skill here tonight as he now has Shane Gates where he wants him, and he connects with a stiff boot to the face, and Gates looks to have no idea where he is right now, and Aubrey has taken control of this match almost in an instant.
Flannery McCoy: Aubrey Mack runs the ropes once more… but this time Shane Gates was able to get right up to his feet and he catches Aubrey with the shoulder tackle! And then he stomps right onto the arm of Aubrey! Aubrey is now favoring his arm as Shane picks him back up to his feet, before connecting with a huge clothesline knocking Aubrey right out as he flips inside out! Shane Gates is trying to get back into this match and I think he has done exactly that, and in a huge way as Aubrey Mack is down and he may be out!
Jake Mercer: Aubrey Mack might be out of it, as now it is Shane Gates who looks to show off, letting Aubrey know to not take him lightly as Gates would bring him back up to his feet, and he connects with a massive right hand, and that rocks Aubrey! Aubrey falls back into the ropes… AND AUBREY GOES FOR A SUPERKICK! But Gates moves out of the way and catches him with a swinging neckbreaker, and Aubrey lands hard! Aubrey isn’t having the best of luck right now, and he may just lose his debut match here tonight.
Stew-O: Aubrey Mack is trying to get back to his feet and fight back against Shane Gates, but it might just be too much. But if there is one thing about this kid that we have learned it is that he will not quit, and Gates notices that as he picks Aubrey back up to his feet, before putting him up on his shoulders… AND GATES CONNECTS WITH DARKNESS BELOW! THE BURNING HAMMER CONNECTS AND AUBREY MACK MIGHT BE OUT OF IT AS SHANE GATES FOLLOWS UP WITH THE COVER, AND GOES FOR A PIN! THIS COULD BE IT RIGHT HERE!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT AUBREY MACK KICKS OUT! The fight this kid has is undeniable and Shane Gates does not look happy about it right now! Gates is arguing with the referee, but the ref is letting him know that it was in fact a two count, and Gates is not in the mood! Gates gets back up to his feet and picks Aubrey up, and then another right hand! But then Aubrey responds with one of his own! And then Gates! Aubrey! Gates! Aubrey! Gates! Aubrey! Aubrey! Aubrey! Aubrey! AND A SUPERKICK BY AUBREY MACK AND SHANE GATES GOES DOWN!
Jake Mercer: Aubrey Mack is trying his hardest to stay in this match, and now he moves to the apron, and he takes a breathing room while Shane Gates is slowly getting back up to his feet. Shane doesn’t know where he is at, and Aubrey stands on the apron… before jumping onto the ropes, and springboarding… and he connects with the springboard forearm smash! He calls that the Chin Check and Shane Gates goes down and you can tell that he has no idea where he is at right now, but Aubrey Mack may not be done!
Stew-O: Shane Gates has no idea where he is as Aubrey Mack drags him back up to his feet. Shane is trying to fight back against Aubrey, but it is no use as Aubrey connects with a stiff right hand right to the jaw of Shane Gates, and Shane is just out of it and falls back down to a knee! But Aubrey pulls him back up once more, before backing up… AND AUBREY MACK SPINS AROUND AND CONNECTS WITH THE SPINNING HEEL KICK! THAT IS THE 93 ‘TIL INFINITY AND SHANE GATES IS COMPLETELY OUT OF IT! AUBREY DROPS INTO A COVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… AUBREY MACK!!!!!!
(Aubrey Mack would get back up to his feet as ‘Mack 10, Mack 10’ begins to blast throughout the arena once more. The fans cheer as Aubrey would get his arm raised by the referee, while Shane Gates would move to the outside of the ring. Aubrey would celebrate his victory as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(Friday Night Dynasty transitions to show the backstage area of the Mercedes-Benz arena, where Michael Belfort is seen standing by with a smile on his face and a microphone in his hand as he brings it up to his mouth and begins to speak from there.)
Michael Belfort: Welcome back to Friday Night Dynasty folks, and what an opener we’ve had for you so far. Congratulations to Aubrey Mack on his victory, but now we move on to the rest of the show and right now I have a special guest with me here tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome at this time… Caroline!!!
(The camera pans over to show Caroline, which causes the crowd to erupt into cheers, as she’s seen seated on a production crate seemingly in deep thought. She looks up at Michael with a smile before he then continues to speak from there.)
Michael Belfort: Caroline, as we saw, last week you got a victory over Jay Jerry Johnson on Dynasty, which is sure to be huge for you considering how your luck has been going recently, I just wanted to get your thoughts on that and anything else you had in mind if you’d care to answer?
Caroline: While I’m happy about the fact I got a victory last week, thankfully shutting up Jay Jerry Johnson and stopping him from embarrassing himself any further. I’m still left wondering what’s next for me, which in my eyes is literally not cool. I mean, c’mon, I’m sure you can understand just how much it sucks to have to be watching Territorial Invasion at home instead of, I don’t know… actually being there??? While a lot of people would love the off week, I certainly don’t, and it hurts me to know while everyone is out there having the time of their life in London, I’m here on the sidelines. 😔 Sure there are enough Netflix shows to go around, but I’d be lying if I said I’d totes prefer watching serial killer documentaries over wrestling, even though it’s a pretty tough competition… but regardless, I keep my head high and look toward the future and I’m still adamant on saying that it’s looking up for me. Because even after everything that’s happened this Season, there’s one thing you can’t deny and that’s the fact that I’m still standing!
Michael Belfort: I feel like people have known you as a girl that is persistent no matter what has happened. There’s no denying that in such a short time you’ve gotten a lot of success and you can see that not just this Season but last Season as well, but at the same time that hasn’t come without its roadblocks. I’m sure at the same time though, that hasn’t deterred your spirits much has it?
Caroline: That is very much the case, and no matter what happens from here on out I’m going to keep pushing and make sure that I become one of the top names in EAW one way or another! There are still so many opportunities to go around, and the fact that we’re not even halfway through the Season yet proves that I still have so much time. But even with that I know I shouldn’t twiddle my thumbs and waste time, no, I’m going to make sure that Pain For Pride XV wasn’t a one-time thing facing Dr. Bethany Blue and I’m going to opportunities that I know I deserve! Showing that even though there might be a gloomy crowd over my head, there’s still a light at the end of the tunnel and even though my time won’t be at Territorial Invasion, I’m going to be looking onward past that and I’m going to seize the moment like I know I can! Because all it takes is one moment, and when that moment comes around whatever that may be, I will make sure I use it to the fullest.
Michael Belfort: Well that leads into my next question, do you have anything in mind for what’s next? We have a string of supershows coming near and I’m sure you’re going to be doing everything to make sure that you participate in some way when the time comes. Is there anything in particular that comes to mind when it comes to setting your trajectory post-Territorial Invasion?
Caroline: I might have a few things in mind, but at the same time I don’t want to get my hopes up knowing that literally anything can happen, but nonetheless, baby steps. Because the last thing I want to do is get ahead of myself, so I won’t. But I’m also focused on making it known that I don’t want to be in EAW just to be a stepping stone or another face in the crowd, because not only does this company not deserve that, none of the people that pay good money to see me deserve that either. They deserve me at my best and knowing that much I can say that I hope the rest of the Elitists on Dynasty are ready for what I have in store for them. :blessed: But whatever happens happens, and in the end, I can find solace in the fact that I am still here and I am eternally grateful to be participating in EAW. I just hope that everyone can join me for the ride!
Michael Belfort: :wow: Inspiring words by Caroline as she makes a statement heading into the rest of Season 16. As always, thank you for joining us, Caroline.
Caroline: Always a pleasure. 🤗
(Michael takes his leave, leaving Caroline by herself as it’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty from there then begins to transition away from the backstage area and elsewhere from there.)
(‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne blares throughout the studio, and right on cue, the fans are booing. Milli Banks steps out, dripping down in some jewel-encrusted shades, jacket, jeans, and boots. She raps along to the lyrics, looking straight at the camera before giving it a slight shove and entering the ring.)
Stew-O: Oh, my. The crowd here is almost deafening.
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, no kidding! There are some Elitists out there who are absolutely despised, but this is a different kind of hatred we’re hearing!
Jake Mercer: Of course. Jealous people have to hate an accomplished and successful black woman. What else is new in 2022?
(Milli playfully cups her hand to the ear, soaking up the crowd’s animosity. The boos only seemingly increase in tenfold. Milli laughs and dusts the fans off before bringing the mic close to her.)
Milli Banks: Yeah, yeah, get it out of your systems. There. Y’all feel better? Did you get all of that negative energy out of you? Good, ‘cause hating causes a lot of people to crack earlier than anticipated and… oof. A lot of you German folks ain’t gonna be able to fix all of those wrinkles no matter how much Nivea y’all try to use. I’m just saying, chile!
(The crowd boos, but Mill laughs.)
Milli Banks: Listen though, I ain’t here to roast and gag y’all even though I very well could if I wanted to all night. As fun as that would be, I got more important things to focus on than a bunch of ugly, chronically-looking-like-seventy-year-olds losers who once genuinely thought they were the absolute peak of what humans should look like. All of those beers and sausages done messed y’all up. Y’all need to start getting some sea moss and fresh juices into your diets. Then maybe you might come close to being an actual superpower again instead of being a worldwide laughing stock. A shame that Sheri gotta be repping for a country that still thinks making 7-1 jokes is funny.
Milli Banks: Now, Territorial Invasion is right around the corner, and y’all already know that Miss Mills is certainly looking forward to it. I mean, I’m barely, what, two months into being an EAW Elitist and I was handpicked by Tyrone Montgomery to represent Dynasty in the New Breed Showcase match. Me! Not no flops like Caroline or Nick Hart! I worked my butt off since day one to be the fastest-rising star on this show, and I’m already accomplishing a whole lot more than some people do in twice the time! Meanwhile, Hunnid Honcho and Kenn Kenn? What have they been doing of note? One of them is comic relief and the other one lost to some generic, tough chick that thinks she’s ohhhhh soooo scarrrrrrry! They wanna talk about repping their brands to the fullest, but they ain’t doing what they’re supposed to be doing! As a matter of fact, it’s a wonder why they’re in this match in the first place. The simple fact is this: both Honcho and Kenn are easily outclassed. Period. They ain’t worth my time and the fact that they think they can legitimately do some good by representing Showdown and Voltage is silly. They ain’t ready to elevate themselves. They ain’t ready for the spotlight. Whereas me? Oh, I’ve more than proven that I’m ready to face off against the best that EAW has to offer. In fact, y’all can forget about Limmy and Madison being leaders; I am the leader for Dynasty. I’m the standard. I’m the one everyone should be looking at to carry this brand on their back. Tyrone picked me for a reason, and that’s because I’m a star, baby! I’m the mainstay and the one that you want waving the flag as the future for this very company.
Milli Banks: And y’all can cry and say that I’m overlooking Kenn Kenn and Honcho, but check the stats babes. Am I really all talk with no action? The only loss I had so far in this season was from Ruler, and it wasn’t a case of the veteran smacking around the rookie. Oh no, hunnies. I was putting in that work! Best believe that little win he has over me never came easily. The fact that I can have mainstays of this brand sweat like that speaks volumes, and because of that, I’m going to win at Territorial Invasion. It’s as simple as that. So, I ain’t sweating this. As far as I’m concerned, I’m already past this match! I’m looking right ahead at all of the pretty bright lights and superstardom that I’m destined to have. Kenn Kenn and Hunnid Honcho are just here to fit the role that Caroline did and make me look good. And like I told little miss sweet pea, their names are elevated simply for the fact that they’re in a match with me. But hey, we ain’t even have to wait until next week for that to be proven! In fact, I’ll be blessing Voltage with my presence so that I can speak to them directly and show them who really runs things around here. I’m on the cusp of being the premiere New Breed talent in EAW, and they’re gonna realize that soon enough. Period.
(Milli smirks. Her music plays and she dips in between the bottom and middle ropes, but just as she’s about to leave, Sweetest Pie’ by Megan Thee Stallion & Dua Lipa blares throughout the arena. The fans are on their feet as Kenn Kenn comes out! He’s jovial as ever, smiling and giving high-fives to the fans! As always, he vibes along to the music and does his little dancey dance. Milli backs up and watches on as she hangs out on the ropes. Kenn Kenn comes in, mic in hand, and looks at her with a smile.)
Kenn Kenn: Oh, girl, you sure do know how to get people worked up!
Milli Banks: Oh yeah, I do. I’m sure that’s the reason why you’re out here, huh? The truth hurts, doesn’t it?
(Kenn Kenn shakes his head and chuckles.)
Kenn Kenn: Oh, no baby girl, don’t get things confused. I’m not pressed in the slightest. See, you’re good at aggravating people, but my skin is thick. I’ve definitely had plenty of experiences with bullies like you that think they can talk down on others to make themselves feel better. As far as I’m concerned, someone who is genuinely confident in themselves wouldn’t feel the need to tear down others regularly as you do.
Milli Banks: Chiiiiiile, come off that. I am very much confident and I’m allowed to express that however I want to. Besides, this is wrestling, remember? I am supposed to think that I’m better than everyone else… and that’s because I am!
Kenn Kenn: Yeah, but what have you done yourself? You want to say how I haven’t done anything noteworthy, but last week you couldn’t beat Aurora. Y’all had a draw and before that, you lost to Ruler. You put up a fight, yeah, and you’re talented, Milli, but you’re delusional.
(The crowd cheers, making Milli frown a bit.)
Milli Banks: Me? Delusional? Listen, I’m by far the best pure athlete here, and that’s undisputed. My athleticism and skills are second to none. I’m one of one when I’m inside these ropes. If anyone’s delusional, it’s you.
Kenn Kenn: Alright, no need to get heated. As I said, you’re talented. I think you’re really good, Milli. You definitely have a whole lot of potential. In fact, a part of me respects you for that. I mean, you definitely are a natural in the ring and pick up on things quicker than most. I can’t deny that.
(Milli’s tenseness goes away and a small smile surfaces.)
Milli Banks: Oh, yeah? Well… thanks. I guess you aren’t half-bad yourself.
Kenn Kenn: Was that an actual compliment from you? Oh, wow. And here I thought you were going to say that I’m below you!
Milli Banks: I mean, you are, but you got a few nice moves yourself. I can’t even front.
Kenn Kenn: Well, that’s better than nothing! You know, you really are a lot more likable when you’re not trying to clown on someone every single second.
Milli Banks: Is that right? Well, I never cared to be likable. But for real, just because you and I are kicking it a little bit right now does not mean I’m going to be pulling punches. I ain’t letting up on you one bit, Kenn.
Kenn Kenn: Girl, likewise. Ain’t no hard feelings, but I’m going to be representing Voltage to the fullest, so I ain’t about to lose. I definitely ain’t going to go easy on you, either. I got a lot to prove and a lot of people riding for me. I gotta go hard for them and myself.
Milli Banks: Aight, that’s cool. No hate. I get it. We’re both trying to represent our brands. However, I meant what I said earlier. I’m balling out next week, and I’m gonna prove that Dynasty is the better brand. There’s a whole lot going on for me as well, Kenn Kenn. A whole lot.
Kenn Kenn: I get it. I truly do, Milli. I just —
???: Whoa, whoa, hold up now! What’s all of this that’s going on?!
(Out comes Hunnid Honcho, who gets into the ring. Milli and Kenn exchange looks with each other.)
Kenn Kenn: As a matter of fact? Maybe there is someone who is more delusional than you.
Milli Banks: Dang. I think you’re right.
Hunnid Honcho: Huh? Who y’all calling delusional? Ain’t nobody bout to be tuning in to see the two of you! People are gonna be tuning in to see the Head Honcho of EAW! My rhymes are tight, my moves are even tighter, and best believe that I’m about to give Showdown a big W next week! I’m about to go to work! But hey, never mind that — since everything seems to be cool right now, how about the two of you go to @HunnidHoncho and #FOLLOW4FOLLOW?
(Milli and Kenn once again look at each other for a moment before looking at Honcho and shaking their head.)
Kenn Kenn: Nah, we good. Ain’t that right, Miss Banks?
Milli Banks: Yeah. Real good.
(Hunnid Honcho’s jaw drops.)
Hunnid Honcho: Whaaaaaaat? Y’all ain’t even gonna give me the chance? That’s what’s up now? Dang, man. You know what though? Maybe it’s cause y’all ain’t been exposed to my stuff like that. Yeah! So, how about I give y’all a taste of my new song, and then that’ll change your mind. Y’all are gonna go crazy! I swear! Ayo, play my joint!
Flannery McCoy: Wait, he has a new song?
Jake Mercer: It seems so, and we’re getting a premiere!
(The new track plays. Honcho can be heard rapping over a misaligned beat that sounds like a novice’s attempt to make a mix of a G-Unit and Chief Keef joint.
Hunnid Honcho: (on track) Yeah, I bring the heat in like my name’s Butler, serving up this work with the toast and butter. It’s supper time and best believe I’m eating, feeding on all of these weak Elitists like they’re Reese’s pieces!
(All of a sudden, Milli and Kenn burst out laughing. Honcho takes note and frowns.)
Hunnid Honcho: Aye yo, cut the music! Cut the music! What are y’all laughing for?!
(Milli and Kenn pause and look at Honcho before looking at each other again and cackling. Milli especially is on the verge of tears. It’s a whole ki, but Hunnid Huncho grows furious.)
Hunnid Honcho: Oh, y’all think you can do better than me, is that it?! I have been grinding and putting in the hard work with my records and y’all think this is a joke?!
(Milli finally calms down, closing her eyes. She’s still chuckling. Kenn Kenn manages to simmer down as well.)
Hunnid Honcho: Okay. Well, how about this: we have a rap battle. The three of us. Right. On. Voltage.
(That perks the two up. The crowd is mixed; some cheer at the prospect of something different while others boo at the prospect of potentially questionable bars.)
Milli Banks: Word? Bet then. I was gonna show up there anyways, but we can do that. New York rap definitely hits harder than Chicago rap, so you finna get this work on this mic like you will come next week.
Kenn Kenn: I’m down for it. It’s something new, but I’m not going to turn down a challenge.
Hunnid Honcho: Y’all are gonna get cooked, you hear me? COOKED. Y’all talk a big game but let’s see if you can back it all up when you gotta be in the Lyrical Miracle’s home court!
(Honcho storms out of the ring. As he leaves, Kenn Kenn and Milli Banks talk to each other before bursting out laughing.)
Stew-O: It seems we’ll have a rap battle on our hands this Sunday on Voltage!
Flannery McCoy: Well, this is new. I wonder how it’s all going to go down. All three competitors are gifted in one way or another with their words, so it’ll be interesting to see who has the better rhymes between them.
Jake Mercer: … Am I the only one who liked Honcho’s rap?
Stew-O: Well, it was… something. However, I’m not an expert on that kind of music.
Flannery McCoy: Um, it had potential! Definitely see the vision with what he was going with.
Jake Mercer: At any rate, our Dynasty representative will find herself in a rap battle in just a few days. By the way, did you guys know that Milli is a huge barb? Do you think that will help her out since she’s a fan of the Queen of Rap?
(A commercial is shown for Saturday Night Showdown this week with the main event being MarrKade versus Team Dysfunctional in a tag team match.)
(Friday Night Dynasty comes back to show a shot of the arena with the camera showing 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…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘DNA’ by Kendrick Lamar is heard blasting through the speakers with the crowd responding with a mix of cheers and boos with the camera showing PJ Hendrx beginning to make his way out to the backstage area and toward the stage. He has a smirk on his face as he spreads his arms out in confidence while hyping up the crowd that continues to give him a lukewarm reaction, before then beginning to make his way toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… from Charlotte, North Carolina… weighing in at 195 pounds… ‘PHANTOM’… PJ HENDRX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘To Kill a Sunrise’ by Escape The Zoo is heard playing up with the crowd cheering for Lila Vandran who is seen coming out to the stage. She has a smile on her face as she scans around the arena. She looks motivated and ready to go despite being on a completely different brand tonight against completely different competition, before then beginning to make her way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… from Manchester, New Hampshire… weighing in at 103 pounds… weighing in at 103 pounds… ‘THE DISSIDENT’… LILA VANDRAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The bell has rung and here we go ladies and gentlemen, this match between Dynasty’s PJ Hendrx and Showdown’s Lila Vandran is officially underway! AND RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE PJ RUNS FORWARD AND GRABS LILA BY THE ARM BEFORE TAKING HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH AN ARM DRAG! Lila rolls to a kneeling position while PJ gets up to his feet, LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND ATTEMPTING A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE FACE! It connects, dropping Lila down to the ground, and PJ wastes no time grabbing her by the arm and pulling her up to her feet before sending her over toward the turnbuckle padding. Lila is backed up while PJ turns around, RUNNING FORWARD AND ATTEMPTING TO CAVE HER FACE IN WITH A BIG BOOT!
Flannery McCoy: But Lila manages to move out of the way and PJ ends up colliding with the corner before he can hit the breaks! PJ takes a step back, WHILE LILA LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK TO HIS BACK! PJ falls back against the corner and tries to collect himself, ONLY FOR LILA TO STEP FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A KNEE TO THE BACK OF HIS SPINE! PJ is momentarily stunned and that gives Lila enough time to grab him by the head and throw him down toward the center of the ring, turning around and then beginning to make her way up to the top role. PJ slowly gets back up, and I don’t think he knows what lies ahead for him… AS LILA LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND DROPS PJ WITH A HUGE CROSSBODY TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS ONCE MORE!
Jake Mercer: Not the start that PJ was expecting right now as he kicked off this match emphatically by attacking Lila early, but it didn’t pan out the way he wanted it to. Lila grabs PJ and brings him back up to his feet, only for PJ to break free and immediately begin to send some well-placed forearm shots toward her face! Lila breaks through though and connects with a stiff elbow strike which is enough for her to snatch his wrist and send him toward the ropes… BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND ATTEMPTING TO CONNECT WITH A FOREARM SMASH TO THE FACE- Only for PJ to duck under that one and wait for Lila to turn around before stepping forward and kicking her in the abdomen to send her down!
Stew-O: Lila skids down to a seated position while PJ sets himself up, CRACKING LILA AGAINST THE CHEST WITH A HUGE PENALTY KICK! This gives him the downtime he needs right now as he takes a moment to recuperate and catch his breath before continuing on with this match, IMMEDIATELY STEPPING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A KNEE DROP TOWARD HER FACE! Lila is kept down on the mat for the time being and that allows PJ to get back up to his feet and turn around in place, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND THIS TIME CONNECTING WITH A STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS TO CAP HIS ASSAULT OFF!
Flannery McCoy: PJ now looks to give her a taste of her own medicine as he turns around and then begins to make his way up to the top turnbuckle, and we know the type of agility he has and the things he can pull off while at the high-rent district. ‘The Hidden Gem’ sets up his trajectory… BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND GOING FOR AN EARLY ATTEMPT AT ‘CATCH YOUR BREATH’! THE PHOENIX SPLASH TO A DOWNED LILA VANDRAN IN HOPES OF CONNECTING!
Jake Mercer: BUT LILA ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME! PJ is hurt while Lila gets back up to her feet, RUNNING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH AN STO THAT PLANTS HIM FACE FIRST ONTO THE CANVAS! Lila then waits for him to get back up to his feet again, BEFORE GRABBING HIM BY THE HEAD AND LAUNCHING HIM INTO THE AIR BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A BULLDOG! All she has to do is keep this up now and she should be golden and that’s what she has the intention of doing from here on out. Lila now brings PJ up to a knee, but before she can do anything it’s PJ that connects with a well-placed shot to the abdomen! PJ then grabs Lila by the head and connects with a leaping knee strike before then turning around and running toward the ropes while she’s left stirring on her feet…
Stew-O: ONLY FOR LILA TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND CATCH HIM WITH ‘HELP YOURSELF’! THE SINGLE-LEG CODEBREAKER PLANTS PJ DOWN TO THE CANVAS AND KNOCKS HIM OUT WHILE LILA QUICKLY PINS HIS SHOULDERS TO THE MAT HOPING TO CLOSE THIS MATCH OFF!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRR-
Flannery McCoy: BUT PJ MANAGES TO KICK OUT KEEPING THIS MATCH ALIVE! Lila is clearly unhappy about that but regardless continues to push through as she heaves herself back up to her feet. She then begins to stomp down onto the face of PJ in hopes of keeping him down for the time being before then beginning to make her way over to the corner, she looks like she’s going to begin climbing right here… but she eyes PJ who is clutching onto the ropes and begins to make his way back up to his feet. Lila is not going to take any risks right now as she backs up and waits for PJ to fully recover as he leans against the ropes… RUNNING FORWARD AT FULL SPEED AND NAILING HIM WITH A HUGE CLOTHESLINE AND SENDING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE RINGSIDE AREA!
Jake Mercer: The move connects halfway, with PJ managing to grab onto the top rope and pull himself upward and onto the apron. Lila lands a punch, but PJ absorbs it and fires one back to force her backward! Lila then attempts to take him by surprise and go under, LOOKING TO HIT A SHOULDER TACKLE- But PJ manages to move out of the way of it and avoid her just in time, BEFORE STEPPING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A KICK TO THE FACE WHICH SENDS HER BACK INTO THE RING AND DOWN ON ONE KNEE! Lila recovers and sets her sights back on her opponent, BUT THAT ISN’T ENOUGH TO CATCH PJ LAUNCHING HIMSELF INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD KNEE STRIKE TO HER FACE TO DROP HER!
Stew-O: Although that doesn’t fully take her down with Lila dropping down to a knee, that gives PJ the edge that he needs right now to get back into this match as he grabs her by the head and brings her back up to her feet… BEFORE POPPING HER UP OFF THE GROUND AND DROPPING HER DOWN ONTO HER BACK WITH A SUPLEX! PJ isn’t done though as he swings her around and tugs her back up, BEFORE LIFTING HER UP AGAIN AND CONNECTING WITH A SECOND SUPLEX TO FOLLOW THAT ONE UP! PJ looking to close this out as he seems to be going for a trifecta mirroring what he did earlier, BEFORE POPPING LILA OFF THE GROUND AND GOING FOR A THIRD SUPLEX TO FINISH THIS OFF!
Flannery McCoy: But using the last bit of energy left in her, Lila manages to slip out and land behind PJ! PJ tries to turn around, ONLY FOR LILA TO GO UNDER AND CONNECT WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF HIS KNEE TO SEND HIM DOWN TO A KNEELING POSITION! Lila from there gets back up to her feet and grabs a hold of the head of PJ, BEFORE SLAMMING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS BY HIS HEAD! Lila has a look of determination knowing that she wasn’t going to let PJ get away with that, and now she looks to set him up to finish this match off for good! Lila grabs PJ and brings him back up, before kicking him in the abdomen and turning around to run to the ropes…
Jake Mercer: LILA LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND ATTEMPTS ‘QUE SERA, SERA’! THE SPRINGBOARD FAMOUSER IS A HEAT-SEEKING MISSILE LOOKING TO TAKE PJ HENDRX DOWN TO THE CANVAS AND OFFICIALLY END THIS MATCH FOR GOOD!
Stew-O: BUT PJ! HE MANAGES TO KEEP LILA UP AND POSITION HER ONTO HER SHOULDERS BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A BUCKLE BOMB INTO THE CORNER! LILA IS COMPLETELY LEVELED WHILE PJ BRINGS HER UP TO THE TOP ROPE AND CLIMBS HIMSELF UP BEFORE NOW SETTING HER UP… LEAPING UP ONTO HER SHOULDERS AND TAKING HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A BEAUTIFUL TOP ROPE FRANKENSTEINER! THE JOB ISN’T DONE AS I HAVE A CLUE WHAT PJ MIGHT HAVE IN MIND RIGHT NOW AS HE WAITS FOR LILA TO RECOVER…
Flannery McCoy: ONLY TO DROP HER RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TO THE JAW! ‘FINAL FLASH’ CONNECTS ONTO LILA VANDRAN DROPPING HER DOWN TO THE MAT WHILE PJ QUICKLY HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘DNA blasts through the speakers of the arena once more while PJ Hendrx immediately gets back up to his feet and raises his hands into the air. The referee begins to make his way over and raises his hand into the air, with PJ smirking and talking toward the hard camera confidently after getting another victory under his belt. He then turns around and makes his way toward the top rope, looking out toward the crowd before continuing his celebration from there.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… PJ HENDRX!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: And PJ Hendrx picks up another impressive victory here on Dynasty! We’ve seen what he’s been able to do since stepping into this company and he’s more than proven himself against whatever has stepped into his way. Lila Vandran is another opponent he can add to his victory tally and he is once again on the fast track to being one of the best rising stars that this brand has to offer.
Flannery McCoy: Let’s not forget Lila’s effort in this match, she’s kinda been under the radar for these past few months but you can’t deny that she has talent and she showed that tonight here on a foreign brand. I can’t wait to see more of her in EAW, but right now, this is PJ’s moment and I have nothing but congratulations for him on his victory!
(Friday Night Dynasty returns from commercial break to the gorilla position area of the Mercedes-Benz Arena. There, Michael Belfort is seen standing by with a smile on his face and a microphone in his hand, beginning to speak towards the EAW Universe from there.)
Michael Belfort: Welcome back EAW Universe, I am of course your backstage correspondent here, Micheal Belfort, and tonight I hope you all can please welcome my guest, the woman who defeated Ayu Megumi in the Main Event of Voltage to retain her title, Specialists Champion, Serenity Valdez!
( The crowd would boo as a very energetic, very elated Serenity Valdez would enter the scene with the Specialist’s Championship draped around her neck, a party hat on her head, and a red sparkly party blower in her mouth, which she repeatedly blew into right in the face of Micheal Belfort, and the microphone which sent an ear piercing sound through-out the arena, before Serenity dropped the blower onto the floor with a smile.)
Serenity Valdez: Micheal, Micheal, Micheal – How are we DOING tonight, my friend? Never mind, I really don’t care; because we’re not here for you… We are here for the current, REIGNING, DEFENDING, UNDISPUTED, EAW SPECIALIST’S CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, SERENITY FREAKIN’ VALDEZ – Damn I’m good. :troll:
( Serenity said eagerly as Micheal got his bearings back together, a slight chuckle coming from him in the rather awkward situation.)
Micheal Belfort: Well it’s clear to say you’re in high spirits coming off your win against a very game Ayu Megumi, and since then you’ve been very vocal on Social Stream about your victory against here, would you like to expand on her as an in-ring competitor and how you’ve changed since facing her?
Serenity Valdez: … :rihanna: Was that a real question? Micheal, I came here with so much energy; I am giving you a free VIRAL segment that will put your name on spectrums it’s never been before, very important people are going to see this – you know that right?
Micheal Belfort: Yeah, of course…
Serenity Valdez: Well since you know that, why do you still allow yourself to ask STUPID questions? Like how I’ve changed since facing AYU MEGUMI?! How would ANYONE change from facing her in the ring, Michael? This was your journalistic peak, this was the moment where you could lock yourself in the Hall of Fame for backstage correspondents – if there was one in the first place… But then you ask that and quite frankly I am disappointed, but you know what Michael? This is MY segment, and I am coming in here in full party mode from the amazing week I have had, and to be honest? You’re ruining the vibe that I am coming in with, so if you can excuse me?
( Serenity Valdez said, raising an eyebrow as she shooed him off, Michael clearly at a loss for words as he hesitantly stood there unsure what to do. )
Michael Belfort: Well I-
Serenity Valdez: Move, before I make you move – and give me your microphone, I’m taking over.
( Serenity said, Michael unfortunately not having the set on him to argue as he somberly gave the microphone to Serenity Valdez before walking off the screen as the shot zoomed back in on her.)
Serenity Valdez: There we go, now we have only the best taking care of Serenity Valdez’s interview needs, with that being… Serenity Valdez baby! Now credit where credit is due, Michael was on the right track with that question with where it was going; but phrased it the entirely wrong way, because it wasn’t how Ayu Megumi changed me – it was how I changed Ayu Megumi. Because truth be told, I am not surprised that I beat her last week on Voltage, in fact, I am more surprised that Eden Sinclair even gave her the opportunity to come for my title in the first place being the Charity Case Elitist she was – let alone have her be in Voltage’s Main Event… but I digress. See because Ayu Megumi offers nothing to me, meaning that she can’t change me for the better or worse ESPECIALLY after she talked so much [BLEEP] and couldn’t back up ANY of it – LIKE I SAID, when it came down to actually stepping in the ring. But for her? I can confirm that her whole outlook on me has changed because now she’s trying to take the humble route, thinking that if she faces the error of her ways that there will be a Serenity Valdez vs Ayu Megumi II in store for her, and to that I say, have I not laughed enough on the Social Streams? You’re not getting ANYWHERE close to my title, and you are not getting ANYWHERE close to me because Ayu Meguim we are DONE. Finished. Finito. Separated. Read my lips slowly here when I say YOU DON’T GET TO FIGHT ME AGAIN – YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE, IT IS OVER; COPE.
Serenity Valdez: All you need to do instead of looking for vengeance, is to accomplish the one job I had for you all of last week that you still haven’t completed – thank me. Thank me for taking a chance on the little guy, and thank me for giving you a spotlight to shine in even whilst you failed to make yourself look desirable to this company in the slightest, even with my generosity and kindness to you, you fumbled the bag and made yourself look like a fool; so the least you could do is at least show me some gratitude for giving you this chance. But to be honest, I am not surprised simply because of the fact that I have never gotten my fair due of what I deserve so the fact that you wouldn’t humble yourself and be the FIRST to achieve something great for the first time in your life to garner a little bit of respect on your name? Is no shock to me. The fact of the matter is Ayu Megumi, like the majority of the EAW Locker-room, is delusional in everything she does – thinking wholeheartedly she had a chance to win when she just needed to focus on giving herself a performance for the world to remember, it’s foolish objectives like that which show who’s really built to work at a higher caliber – but we can just add another loss to Ayu Megumi and the Ice Ace’s name, same old same old, nobodies surprised.
Serenity Valdez: But enough about the past – because the future is in front of us and the future is Territorial Invasion, the future is Anarchy In The Arena, and the future is Dynasty standing above every other brand as the absolute BEST – With me, Joso, and Limmy Monaghan reigning superior over Elitist who are simply trying to bask in the glory of the new frontier taking over this company. See, I don’t need to expand right now on all my thoughts – I’ll save that for later tonight, but one thing I do know? Is that what happens at Territorial Invasion will be career-defining, it will be my moment in the sun where I will be without a shadow of a doubt, THE BEST Specialist’s Champion of all time; I will go down in history pinning the likes of Xander Payne, Minerva, Jake Smith, or Hikari Kanno to bring our team into the Winners Circle and give the world a clear reason as to why I am the pinnacle of this BUSINESS; case and POINT. Because, unlike Ayu Megumi, I have the accolades to back up my thesis in me obtaining such an accomplishment, and that accomplishment will be so undoubtedly great and outstanding that the same people that come to challenge me and my title think they deserve a time of day from me? Will have to humble themselves to the reality of the situation and acknowledge me and the threat I am to not only them but the rest of this DIVISION.
Serenity Valdez: But you know, since I mentioned Hikari Kanno in the list of candidates to take the fall to me, The Virtuosa of EAW, let me make something ABUNDANTLY clear to not only the world, but Hikari Kanno herself – knowing that the fans he is she’ll end up viewing this as well. You think attacking me last week solidifies you as superior towards me? Do you think that attacking me from behind after my match on YOUR brand, making YOUR brand that you cease to elevate look levels better than it truly is, makes you a better Elitist? Cry me a river. I see right through your lies and your plots, you’re annoyed because I was the better women during the Iconic Cup tournament; because whilst you beat me physically, I beat you mentally because it took Ximena Velasquez running interference for you to put me down on the canvas for a three count, when as a veteran you should’ve wiped me out clean. Coward. Thing is Hikari, there won’t be a Ximena Velasquez to save you come Anarchy In The Arena, meaning there won’t be a chance for you to get one over on me because nobody can SAVE you anymore; you’ll wish you had Miku by your side because with nobody to lean on it only ends in defeat for the ‘Prolific’ Hikari Kanno in this story, and a new tyrant can officially take the reigns over this company, once? And for all.
( Serenity said, looking deep into the hard cam with a rather serious demeanor, with a chilling smirk appearing onto her face as the camera showed the last shot of her with her words still ringing through the arena as the camera faded to somewhere else in the Mercedes-Benz Arena.)
(Friday Night Dynasty fades in to show the backstage area of the Mercedes Benz arena, with the camera focusing on Bronson Daniels who is seen in his private locker room while the crowd is responding to his presence with loud cheers. He’s getting ready for his main event match later in the night, tying his boots while listening to music through his AirPods. His train of thought is broken as the door to the room is seen slowly opening, in which he takes off his AirPods and looks toward the entrance to see who’s greeting him, to which he smirks.)
Bronson Daniels: Ready to win tonight?
(The camera pans over to reveal Team Dynasty’s Brand Warfare Leader, Madison Kaline, leaning against the doorframe while the rest of Team Dynasty, The Off-Brand Amphetamines and Jay Jerry Johnson, are seen behind him. Madison is in her ring gear, ready for the main event as well, while Solomon Stane and Kirk Redwood are prepped for their match against The Visual Prophet and Astraea Jordan as well later in the night.)
Madison Kaline: More than ready, but I just want to make sure all of us are on the same page before we go out there.
(Bronson shrugs his shoulders before standing up to his feet and approaching the rest of his team, who enter the room as well.)
Madison Kaline: I understand the confidence heading into Territorial Invasion, but we need to make sure that we’re at our 100% especially tonight. Because winning, especially against the people that we’re facing, is essential if we want to walk into Brand Warfare with all the momentum in our favor.
Bronson Daniels: Look, is this about what happened on Voltage? I get losing to Ronan Malosi isn’t the happiest thought, but take it from me, it won’t matter. We’re still the best team by far and anyone else that says otherwise is full of crap, proving that tonight will be no problem.
Madison Kaline: It’s far from losing to Ronan, I could care less about that. But I want to make sure just that we remember the objective here because I’m sure the four of you can agree that Territorial Invasion is a very important tonight that we’ve been working toward for a while now. While beating out Limmy Monaghan and Joso is something that we should consider a priority, it pales in comparison to facing Team Voltage and Team Showdown and whatever they might have in store for us. This means that there’s also the possibility that they might make their presence known with all of the targets in one spot. Believe me, Bronson, I’d love to get ahead, but I also want to make sure that we know what we’re truly here for in the first place.
Jay Jerry Johnson: We’re more than capable of handling outside interferences if the worst happens. And I get that we’re facing them, but I’m sure that Anarchy’s team will have no problem helping us out as well considering we’re all on the same brand. You enlisted us because you have faith in us Madison, I’m sure Solomon and Kirk can agree that the only thing you need to be focused on is winning tonight.
(Solomon and Kirk look toward one another before showing mirroring smirks toward the rest of their team.)
Kirk Redwood: Would love to beat in a few of our competitions anyway. Bring them all, I insist.
(Madison smiles while continuing to stretch out her limbs, turning to look at all of her team.)
Madison Kaline: I’m glad all four of you are showing me I picked the right teammates. Stepping into this, there was this thought in the back of my mind of what if I chose the wrong people because we all know how much those bad apples can be a detriment to what could’ve been a perfect team. But being at the level that I’m at and knowing talent when I see them, I’m glad I stuck to my senses and chose the people I believed could carry their own weight. Because, as much as I’m sure you’d hate to admit it, not many people would give you a second glance when choosing the perfect team. But after everything that we’ve been through not just together but separately, we’re coming into this with extra motivation knowing very well this win could be a turning point for all of us. Don’t deny that to me.
Bronson Daniels: No, I agree, 100%. I’ve said before that I want to do more here on Dynasty and beating out the rest of the brands would do just that. Because I can imagine myself as a future World Champion and very much one of the best that this brand has to offer, so beating out two teams that consist of some of the best that their respective brands have to offer, I think really nails that home for me. I’m confident in our chances, and if it gives y’all any solace, you’re going to be seeing the best Bronson Daniels that anyone has seen in that match. Despite that, I have no doubt my teammates will be willing to do the same.
Jay Jerry Johnson: I’m not going to deny the fact that Season 16 hasn’t been all that for me, I expected so much more but coming out empty-handed week after week certainly gets to you after some time. So when Madison offered me this spot on the team, with some great teammates I’m not even going to lie, you know that I was already going to give my all. Not many people are going to look at me as a threat in this match, and that was something I was already walking into this one expecting. But after this recent string of losses, I’m more than happy to fight for my life and prove that I’m more than ready to hang with some of the best that this company has to offer. If there were any doubts about how I was going to do on a team like this, well then you better throw it away right now because that’s proving to be far from the case.
Solomon Stane: This is OBA’s way of making ourselves known again, and while we’ve been adamant on stating that we’re fighting for ourselves and not one of you, that ain’t me saying that you’re not a huge part of that as well. We’re teammates here and we have no problem cooperating with the rest of you to get the point across that we’re here to win. I don’t give a damn what happens tonight against Soul Food Sunday, because they’re going to be rear view compared to what happens at Territorial Invasion when WE’RE the only ones left standing, that’s all that really needs to be said.
Kirk Redwood: Just as anyone else is, we’ll happily use this opportunity as a pedestal to get OBA back into the Unified Tag Team Championship picture. So believe me when I say you don’t need to doubt anything from us in terms of whether or not we can carry our own weight, because hun, we’ve been doing that from the get-go. We’ve done well proving people wrong and Brand Warfare will just be another day in the office for us. So bring it.
(Madison smirks as she nods her head in agreement.)
Madison Kaline: Well then team, I can’t wait to see you back it up.
(Madison begins to make her leave while both The Off-Brand Amphetamines and Jay Jerry Johnson follow along behind them. That leaves Bronson Daniels in the locker room by himself as he continues to prepare for his match, which is the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty begins to transition to elsewhere from there.)
(As Dynasty fades back to the ring, Stephie Love is seen standing in the middle of the ring with a microphone in her hand.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for…ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
(‘Por Mi Mexico’ by Lefty SM played through the speakers to a mix of cheers and boos, as Roberto De La Rosa began to make his way out to the ring, a smirk on his face as swagger poured from his demeanor, clearly very confident in his chances of winning this match as he made his way up the steel steps and onto the apron, parting the ring ropes as he took a lap around the ring before standing into his corner, awaiting his opponent.)
Stephie Love: Introducing First… Weighing in at 225 Pounds… He is, ‘El Padrastro’… ROBERTO DE LA ROSSAAAAAA!!!
Jake Mercer: Roberto De La Rosa looking all business here as he is coming down to the ring; he has spoken a lot to Ruler this week and he’s looking to back all of his claims up here tonight in what is sure to be a great fight – I couldn’t even decide who to bet on with how close these odds are!
Flannery McCoy: Weren’t you told not to openly communicate on betting on Elitist matches on commentary? :yikes:
Jake Mercer: They don’t mean that! If anything I am just hyping up the two competitors for how good they are. :mjgrin:
Flannery McCoy: :mjpls:
( As ‘Por Mi Mexico’ faded out, ‘Prices’ by Lil Uzi Vert played through the speaker to waves of boos as none other than Ruler began to make his way to the ring, very precise in his strides as he stared down Roberto, making his way onto the apron and through the ropes to enter his corner as he kept his gaze locked on his opponent, waiting on the bell.)
Stew-O: And opposing Roberto De La Rosa, we have the very vengeful Ruler who has been very dominant following his loss to Joso in that triple threat for the Interwire Championship – And I mean the turnaround for Ruler has truly been one to see, and I am very eager to see what else he can bring into tonight’s bout with one of Showdown best, a warfare between two brands before the Free-Per-View show, Territorial Invasion!
Jake Mercer: And I’m sure Ruler wants to deny any chance of Roberto bringing momentum home to the blue brand before such a big show for EAW, and if he could do it’ll be an even bigger wave of momentum in the comeback he is trying to amass – quite frankly I can’t wait to see it!
Stephie Love: And his opponent… He is, ‘The Monarch of Agony’… Weighing in at 220 Pounds… RUUULLLEERRRRR!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: And now these two are off as Ruler sizes up, Roberto, coming forward to him to initiate a collar and elbow tie up, though Roberto doesn’t stay in the hold long as he looks to send a knee to the gut of Ruler that land clean into his gut, staggering him for the moment as ROberto grabs the back of his head, leading him towards the corner before SMASHING his head onto the top turnbuckle to start this bout off!
Flannery McCoy: And it’s Ruler who ricochets off the turnbuckle as he stumbles back, Roberto soaking the moment in as he allows Ruler to stagger past him, Roberto picking his moment as Ruler turns around towards him rather dazed, before Robeto goes and grabs him by the hand; sending him straight into the corner as Ruler hits his spine against the turnbuckles hard, with Roberto taking a lap around the ring for momentum before running forward with his paces for an elevated big boot right to the jaw of Ruler – But Ruler manages to get out of the corner in time as Roberto’s foot is draped over the top rope, disabling him from moving as Roberto tries to get it out in time but it’s Ruler with a counter to his offense as he sweeps the opposite leg of Roberto which was planted on the floor, sending Roberto down onto the back of his head and onto the canvas!!
Jake Mercer: And what a maneuver that was as Ruler wastes little time applying the same pressure Roberto did, pulling his leg away from the ropes into the middle of the ring though not letting go just yet, hooking the other one under his arm as well as he flipped Roberto over quickly, before entrapping him in a submission manuever; the Boston Crab and it’s Roberto who is quickly scrambling to the ropes to give himself a shot of escaping the techinical move, and rather quickly he manages to get to them!
ONE!!!
TWO!!!
THREE!!!
FOUR!!!
Stew-O: And Ruler drops the hold just before five, with Roberto clutching at his legs, clearly still feeling the pain Ruler had endured onto him as Ruler wastes little time, picking the right leg of Alberto De La Rosa before SMASHING it under his boot, sending Alberto to clutch onto it as Ruler is clearly beginning to target the legs of Ruler early on in this match up!
Flannery McCoy: You’ve got to admit that this is a very good strategy coming from Ruler and the best way to go about dismantling such an explosive competitor like Roberto who is no easy pushover to beat in a match-up!
Jake Mercer: I’ve gotta agree with you here Flannery, but Roberto won’t be deterred by something like this – if Ruler really wants to make that right leg of Roberto’s a hindrance for him? He’ll need to apply more and more pressure because he does NOT go down easily!
Stew-O: Well Ruler now with some offense to expend here as Roberto De La Rosa drags himself to his feet using the top rope, Ruler however taking him from the ropes as he whips him to the opposing side, Roberto ricocheting off as Ruler slips under him; Roberto running the ropes again as Ruler side steps it yet again, Roberto running the ropes one more time as he runs right into – A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP FROM RULER SENDS ROBERTO RIGHT DOWN TO THE MAT, AND INTO THE COVER WITH A BOOT ON ROBERTO’S CHEST!!!!
ONNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTWWWOOOOO–
Flannery McCoy: And a kick out from Roberto, though the mind games from Ruler flaring as Ruler wastes little time getting down to a knee, hooking the head of Roberto between his arm as he applies a sitting sleeper hold, draining the energy of a downed Roberto and it’s not as easy for him to escape from this one as Roberto is struggling to move from the center of the ring, slowly crawling away from the middle towards the ropes as Ruler keeps that hold in tight, Ruler dragging him right back into the middle of the ring just as he was about to make it to the ropes – BUT IT’S ROBERTO MOVING WITH HIS MOMENTUM AS HE ROLLS OVER PINNING RULER’S SHOULDERS DOWN!!!
ONNEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHREEEEEEE—
Jake Mercer: And Ruler has to let go of the hold to stay in the match though clearly he stretched it out as much as possible as Roberto rolls onto the apron, holding onto his neck as he tries to gain his breath back, Ruler getting to a knee as he focuses in on what he wants to plan next here; Ruler getting up slowly as he leaned over the ropes, looking to grab the head of Roberto; but it’s Roberto who switches the momentum as he hooks the head of Ruler and slings him off of the top rope, staggering him completely!!! Roberto dazed on the outside but nonetheless he rolls back into the ring, Ruler holding his throat as he turns around – RIGHT INTO A STRAY CLOTHESLINE FROM ROBERTO DE LA ROSA PRACTICALLY FOLDING RULER MID-AIR!! And Roberto is feeling the momentum now, leaning off the ropes as he turns around to Ruler who is getting up rather quickly though clearly disoriented as Roberto, as Roberto runs forward to hit him with a shoulder tackle; though it’s Ruler who stays up as Roberto runs the ropes yet again, with ANOTHER shoulder tackle; but it’s Ruler who still has yet to be taken down, though as if Roberto knew this already he keeps his momentum going, going for one more shoulder tackle on Ruler which sends his body into a full 180; aiming right at where Roberto would ricochet once more as Roberto runs full steam ahead at Ruler – AND IT’S ROBERTO LEAPING OFF HIS FEET WITH A SPEAR ON RULER WHICH FLOORS HIM!!! THE ‘TALON DE AGUILLA’!!!! INTO THE COVER!!!
ONNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTWWOOOOO!!!!
THRREEEEEEE!!!
Stew-O: AND IT’S A KICKOUT!! RULER KICKED OUT!!! :lupe:
Flannery McCoy: And Roberto nearly ended that right there despite the determination to stay in this match from Ruler and he is feeling that momentum, his second wind is in full showcase here as Roberto wastes little time, not giving any lenience to Ruler as he goes right back into a second cover!!
ONNEEEEEE!!!
TWWOOOOO!!!!
THR-
Stew-O: And a quicker kick-out from Ruler, and the impatient Roberto is clearly getting upset at the resilience of Ruler as he turns to his body, mounting him quickly as he is RAINING down left and rights to his temple; not letting up to the point that the referee is beginning to count!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
Stew-O: And unlike Ruler, Roberto sticks that count out to the fullest as he unmounts his opponent, feeling the moment as Roberto begins working on his next move as the referee checked up on Ruler who stayed dormant on the ground from the attack, Roberto exiting the ring onto the apron as he is beginning to climb onto the ropes; scaling them to the top and I think we know what comes next from here as the referee clears from the crash zone, Roberto getting his footing right, aiming his sights done before leaping off the top rope for a massive MOONSAULT THAT LANDS CLEAN ONTO RULER!!! AND YET ANOTHER COVER!!!
OONNEEEEEEEE!!!
TWWOOOOOOO!!!
THHREEEEEE-
Flannery McCoy: And the kickout again from Ruler! And Roberto is starting to grow more angry at his opponent for being so resilient as he slams the mat, clearly putting out his whole deck in terms of how he wants to end this match-up, and with all options down I think Roberto is looking for the ace up his sleeve, standing above the body of Ruler as he is calling him up; Ruler slowly getting to his feet but Roberto stopped him right when he was at his knee, Roberto sizing him up as he tucked his head under his waist – Looking for that signature finishing maneuver of his in that Piledriver, looking for ‘The Calling Card’… – BUT IT’S RULER WHO HITS THE KNEE OF ROBERTO’S RIGHT LEG, AND IT FALLS OUT ON HIM AS ROBERTO FALLS TO A KNEE AND RULER SLIPS OUT OF THE HOLD!!!
Jake Mercer: And it isn’t over yet as Roberto stays at a knee, though Ruler is up and ready now as he gets to a vertical position; facing behind Roberto, BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND NEARLY TAKES HIS HEAD CLEAN OFF WITH A MASSIVE KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD; CLEAN PUT AND THE COVER FROM RULER NOW THIS TIME TO TAKE THIS MATCH HOME!!!
OOONNEEEEEEE!!!
TWWOOOOOOO!!!
THREEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: BUT THE KICKOUT FROM ROBERTO AT THE LAST SECOND TO KEEP HIM ALIVE IN THIS MATCH!!! Ruler rolls away from Roberto for the moment as he takes a moment to breath, still feeling the lay off of Roberto’s offense as he holds onto his core, that moonsault clearly taking some effect though Ruler not done yet as he eyes that right leg of Roberto who is downed, running forward before jumping up and LANDING HARD ON THAT LEG WITH AN ELEVATED KNEE DROP ONTO THE INJURED LG AND ROBERTO IS IN A WORLD OF PAIN!
Jake Mercer: We said these tactics would win Ruler the match if he could focus in on that leg and as it looks that might be the case as Ruler is wasting little time getting that leg softened up as much as possible – and even now as he grabs that right leg, yanking it high in the air, before going for a standing ankle lock – AND IT IS IN TIGHT AS ROBERTO IS FLAILING ON THE GROUND!
Flannery McCoy: And the struggle is real as Ruler keeps Roberto steady in the middle of the ring despite his attempts to crawl as Roberto desperately claws the mat to crawl away; and this might be it here folks as Roberto seems to have nowhere to go we might see a tap!!!
Stew-O: And Roberto truly having nowhere to go and his options are running out fast, he needs to get innovative, he needs to focus in, he needs to switch the momentum as soon as he can – but Roberto looks to be pointing his body towards the turnbuckle, what is he planning? HOLD ON, ROBERTO YANKS HIS FOOT FORWARD AND SENDS RULER FLYING INTO THE TURNBUCKLE!!! AND THIS IS HIS MOMENT, RULER STUNNED AND ROBERTO UP, THIS IS IT – ROBERTO NEEDS TO GET UP NOW!!!
Jake Mercer: AND ROBERTO DOES, WELL BEFORE RULER REALIZES WHERE HE IS AT, ROBERTO HAS THE RING SEPARATING THE TWO WITH ALL THAT MOMENTUM AND HE LOOKS TO PUT THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON THE MATCH; ROBERTO RUNNING FORWARD, LOOKING TO FLATTEN RULER WITH ANOTHER SPEAR – BUT WAIT; ROBERTO’S LEG GAVE OUT AND HE SPUTTERED FORWARD, CLEARLY OFF BALANCE —- AND HE RULER SNAPS OUT OF IT JUST IN TIME AS ROBERTO IS BARRELLING FORWARD; AND IT’S RULER SPINNING HIS MOMENTUM WITH A ‘REVOLUTIONIZER’ THE SPINNING BACK HEEL KICK CONNECTS AND ROBERTO FALLS TO THE GROUND AND RULER TAKES THE COVER!!!
ONNEEEEEEE!!!
TWWWOOOOO!!!!!
THHREEEEEEE!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Jake Mercer: AND HE DID IT! Ruler managed to pull out his ‘Revolutionizer’ that’s ended so many competitors before and stapled it right onto the jaw of Roberto De La Rosa tonight for a HUGE win and what a match that was; Roberto De La Rosa with a great showing but it all came down to that injury Roberto sustained on his leg that managed to hold him down long enough for Ruler to pick up the win!
Stew-O: And a homage to the in-ring skills of Ruler, how technical he can be, and a dominant showcase that he still is a top-level talent in his division and on this brand – I am sure looking at this any Dynasty Elitist that underestimated him are re-evaluating their assessments. Truly great stuff from both of these Elitists, and a great match on Dynasty!
(Ruler would be handed a Microphone by the timekeeper, as he is seated in the corner after his match against Roberto De La Rosa. The camera focuses in on him, as he would lift up the microphone, the lights going dim as a spotlight appears on him as the crowd boos. His eerie presence is felt, as he would slowly, and in a serious tone, he begins to speak.)
Ruler: Everyone out there who is hating on me right now and booing throughout the arena, you all can shut the hell up, because I am not leaving — not just yet. I have had a lot to get off my chest the last few weeks. After losing at Poor Unfortunate Souls, after having to watch as Joso won the Interwire Championship, I took the pin… it hurt. So I had to find a resolve. And my resolve was to go back to my roots. So I had made it very clear as of late that it didn’t matter who walked out of Dead Men Tell No Tales as the Champion, whether it was the bum Abel Atami, or Alex Myers, I was going to go after the New Breed Championship, and this time around, I was going to make sure that when I finally get my shot, this time around, I would finally win. I would not fail again. So now I am here, and Dead Men Tell No Tales has past, and the one who I already knew was walking out as the Champion, did in fact walk out New Breed Champion — just like all of us probably had already known, but that is besides the point, we knew Abel Atami wasn’t going to win. You all saw what I did after the match. You all saw when I kicked Alex Myers’ head off, and I left them lying, and I really do not give a damn if what I did makes people hate me even more, because it doesn’t matter to me. This is about becoming the New Breed Champion to me.
Ruler: But I am done wasting time talking about what happened, what has been happening, whatever. I want to talk to the New Breed Champion themself, face to face. To put it lightly… Alex Myers, I know that you are back there — I already know well that you are in the building tonight, so don’t waste the people’s time. Come on out here, “Champ”.
(Ruler would go quiet, the spotlight still directed on him as he awaits the New Breed Champion. Moments go by, as they still do not make their presence known. Ruler clearly starts to get impatient by this, putting the mic back up.)
Ruler: Come on, Alex — don’t waste these people’s time-
(However suddenly, Ruler is cut off by an enormous eruption, their theme music not playing as slowly making their way through the curtain, is the current New Breed Champion, Alex Myers. They have the Championship around their neck, and they are just staring right at Ruler, who had got up to his feet in the ring. Alex would make the slow walk down the rampway, and make it to ringside, as they enter the ring, and immediately, Alex and Ruler go face to face in the center of the ring.)
Stew-O: :lupe:
Flannery McCoy: :lupe:
Jake Mercer: :lupe:
(Alex and Ruler would continue to just stare each other right in the eyes, the crowd going crazy for every last moment of it as they are letting their voices heard.)
Crowd: LET’S GO RULER! A-LEX MYERS! LET’S GO RULER! A-LEX MYERS! LET’S GO RULER! A-LEX MYERS!
(As the crowd keeps chanting, Alex would then look to the side, and take the mic that was offered to them by the timekeeper. They would look back towards Ruler in the center of the ring, before lifting up the mic to begin to speak, however the crowd has other plans)
Crowd: FIGHT FOREVER! FIGHT FOREVER! FIGHT FOREVER! FIGHT FOREVER! :blessed:!!!!
Alex Myers: Alright, alright… calm down.
(When Alex would say this, after a few moments of continuing the chant, the crowd would slowly die out and Alex would just let out a very disappointing sigh. They don’t want to be involved with any of this, but they know they have to.)
Alex Myers: I… I really don’t get it. I listen around us — I listen to the “fight forever” chants, and I just continue to be disappointed in the fact that it is even a chant to describe what people think is a very personal, very heated rivalry between Alex Myers and Ruler. Because it isn’t. There isn’t even a rivalry between us… like, at all. There was never a rivalry between us.
Ruler: Are you delusional? You KNOW what you did to me. Everything that we have been through was ALL BECAUSE OF YOU, ALEX. And I don’t know how many times that I am going to tell you that, I don’t know how many times I am going to have to keep telling you that you are a piece of shi-.. something that I can’t say on national television, and that you stabbed me in the back — LITERALLY — just because of your own ego, but it shows that you are never going to listen to me. You burnt a bridge between us, Alex, and ever since then, we have been intertwined in a way that I NEVER WANTED IT TO BE.
Alex Myers: There was never a “burnt bridge” between us. Not at all. I know that I hurt you… I understand that I let my ego get the best of me, but you don’t understand why I ever did it in the first place. Ego, trust issues, and on top of all of that, at that point in time I could just tell by the look in your eyes that you were going to use me when I was at my worst to get to the top and then leave me at the bottom as a broken down mess. I did what I did to save myself… and to destroy what I thought was a burden, but then you kept coming back. And I didn’t know what to do because I DIDN’T WANT TO DO IT TO YOU. The bridge between us was never burnt. It was down in the trenches because of our own fears and anxieties. We don’t hate each other, and it is clear as day every time that we are forced to step into the ring or talk to each other… we are just scared of each other. And that is why I don’t understand why this has to happen.
Ruler: This is happening because you’re in my way… just like you always are. Because I am the one who wants to move on, and yet… you keep getting in my way, and now here you are once again. Still the New Breed Champion, and now I need to take that Championship off of you so that I can finally move on without you.
Alex Myers: Yet you can’t. You can’t move on. You proved it the week of Pain For Pride, you keep proving it all the time that you have to bring up my name in your promotional videos in a negative way just to try and make yourself feel better, and leaves me to the question once more; why does this have to happen? Once again, I do not get it. We are forever intertwined in what people see as “bloody hatred” but it isn’t even like that. We just don’t know what to really do because we can never have that clear mind when it comes to each other.
Ruler: …Are you kidding me, Alex? Is this the level you are going to stoop down to, now? You are going to resort to talking down on me and treating me like I am a baby to prove a point that makes no sense, like at all? You were my best friend. You were someone I trusted, and yet you threw it all away. And ever since then, you have been nothing more than a thorn in myself and I hate it because you need to learn that one of these days, you are not going to be able to latch onto me anymore. You want to talk about not being able to move on? Who was the one who challenged who on the indies to our last match up to that point — the match where you killed a personality of mine that I can never get back? Who was the one that before I had ever even joined this company, you were bringing me up in riddles and such like I wouldn’t notice? You were doing all of that, all of it. And yeah, you did change. Look at you. You are friends with a detective who probably doesn’t even care about you the way you think she does and now you are the New Breed Champion, and yet all of that can change in a split second with one Revolutionizer and finally you won’t be able to think of me as inferior, look down on me or try and make me look stupid ever again.
Ruler: And who knows when and what it will take for you to snap again better than I do-
Alex Myers: Stop.
(Alex would immediately cut Ruler off once more, as you can tell that Ruler is starting to get more and more angered and stressed out at the encounter that is happening right now.)
Alex Myers: I don’t really think you know what it means to change. I didn’t change because I won the New Breed Title, or because I became best friends with someone — I changed because I knew it was finally time to open my eyes and realize that what I was doing was not right. I changed because of everything that has happened in my life, and that includes every last thing that has involved us. Instead of hurting people, I opted to help people instead now. Help them become the best possible professional wrestler that they can be. That is what I am doing as the New Breed Savior and Guardian Angel. Meanwhile, you haven’t changed. No matter what personality it is that I have beaten, you are always the same mentally tired and broken down Hunter who I had always known, and it is sad to see. It is sad to see that you just can’t back down… because nearly each and every time that we step into the ring against each other, it has resulted in failure for YOU. So it STILL leaves me asking why exactly you have decided to come back once again to challenge me to another match that more than likely, and something that I would hate to do, I would have to beat you again? It shows that dude… you really didn’t move on, nor have you changed. And I don’t really know what to do anymore. I don’t want to have to keep beating you time and time again… it hurts. It hurts having to see you suffer from defeat against the one you can’t move on from.
Alex Myers: And I have heard you, Ruler. I have heard the excuses that you have made about the match at Pain For Pride. I have heard you say time and time again that you were not as hungry and you weren’t at your best for the match… and I have heard this so many times from you throughout so many of your personalities that I just could care less to hear it from you. What I want you to do is to stop lying to yourself, and finally say how you truly feel. What do you want from me to keep coming back for more in acts of “redeeming” yourself?
Ruler: …
Alex Myers: Say it. Tell me.
Ruler: …
Alex Myers: Sigh-
Ruler: I want to face The Unknown Joker.
Crowd: :krabs:
(Alex goes completely silent.)
Ruler: I get it, okay? I GET IT. I GET THAT I HAVEN’T HAD THE BEST LUCK AGAINST YOU. I GET THAT IT DIDN’T MATTER WHAT PERSONALITY OF MINE IT WAS, I WOULD ALWAYS LOSE AGAINST YOU. Fine. I admit that I haven’t moved on. I admit that I haven’t been able to change, but it has been all because of YOU, and I am sick of having to deal with this burden. I am done with it. I know I have failed in the past, I know that no matter what I am always the failure when it comes to us and I am always looked at as second best but I am not TAKING THAT ANYMORE. I want to beat you — no — I AM going to beat you. I AM going to take the New Breed Championship away from you and I am finally going to redeem every last thing that I have ever been through because of you no matter how much it hurts me to do, and I want to do it by beating the Unknown Joker themself. When you are in a clear mind — when you are at your very best. That is the version of Alex Myers that I want to beat. That is the version of Alex Myers that I want to beat in order to prove that I am better. That I am better than what I used to be. Accept my challenge.
Alex Myers: …No.
(The crowd clearly did not like the response Alex Myers given, reacting with boos as Ruler looks unhappy about it, but he doesn’t back down from getting them to accept the challenge to bring out the Unknown Joker.)
Ruler: DO IT ALEX. JUST DO IT. GIVE ME THE UNKNOWN JOKER.
Alex Myers: NO.
Crowd: YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
Ruler: Alex I swear to god-
Alex Myers: …Fine.
Crowd: JMIPOF3EINPOGINPO4MMPO23GMPOMGPOMPOG2MPOG2MPO4 :blessed:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The very moment that Alex accepts, the building becomes unglue as an explosion of cheers echo throughout the arena. Alex does not look satisfied, but Ruler certainly does.)
Catch: You screwed yourself…
Alex Myers: Fine, Hunter. You got it. At Territorial Invasion, it will be Ruler vs The Unknown Joker for the New Breed Championship. And just like it has always been, you are going to try, and going to try, and going to try some more to beat me, and yet in the end, you are going to lose. You are going to fail once again. I am going to retain the New Breed Championship, and you are going to become an even more broken-down version of yourself… and I am going to hate every last second of it because it sucks that I have to do this in the first place. But at the end of the night, I am going to make sure that you are forced to move on from all of this. This is the end of the road for the both of us. Once that bell rings, and once I am handed my New Breed Championship, I am going to go up to you, I am to extend my hand out, and you are going to shake it, and that is the end of it all.
Ruler: This is the end. And maybe I will end you right now.
(Ruler would suddenly drop the microphone, and he would get into a position like he is about to fight Alex… but Alex has other plans. They shake their head, a tear clearly falling down their face as they slowly exit the ring. They back up the ramp, before lifting up the mic and saying..)
Alex Myers: I can’t save us — we built our friendship on top of our shaky and personal issues, and I know that I messed up in the past, and I apologize. I’m sorry about all of it. I’m sorry that I was wrong in the past… but I know it’s not like that anymore. I can’t save us anymore, I can’t rebuild what we once had anymore, but what I can do is make sure that we move on from this chapter — the chapter of nothing more than our anxieties and fears of each other. Our fake hatred for each other. I will see you at Territorial Invasion — I’m sorry.
(Alex begins to make their way toward the backstage area somberly, while Ruler still maintains a serious expression on his face like Alex is going to change their mind and roll back into the ring. But clearly, that isn’t going to happen. Ruler shakes his head and rolls out of the ring as well, with that being the last shot before Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to transition over to commercial break.)
(A commercial is shown for Sunday Night Voltage this week with the main event being Sheridan Muller going up against Jon Kelton.)
Stephie Love: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Ain’t Nobody’ by Rufus and Chaka Khan plays, and the fans are already raining down boos. Visual Prophet and Astraea Jordan step out, confidence at a high as they stride down the ramp and get inside the ring.)
Stephie Love: Making their way to the ring at a combined weight of 430 pounds… SOOOOOOOOUUUUULLLL FOOOOOOOODDDDD SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNDAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Stew-O: Visual Prophet and Astraea Jordan are making their way to the ring, and they don’t seem to be bothered in the slightest despite both of them experiencing losses the previous week.
Jake Mercer: Oh, so are they supposed to cry? Wah, wah, they lost! Who cares?! They’re not the type of Elitists to fold under failure! Are we really going to let one bad week suddenly nullify their talents and, most importantly, their mission here in EAW?!
Flannery McCoy: No, but on paper, they’re the ones that have a lot to prove compared to their opponents who are fresh off a win against Kylie Grace and Haruka Kashimashi.
Jake Mercer: Wow! So they lose last week and now they’re the ones that have a lot to prove?! Really?! You know, that’s really racist!
Flannery McCoy: What?
Jake Mercer: Jeez, this is the exact sort of discrimination that Soul Food Sunday has spoken up about since day one! One loss isn’t the end of the world, you know! Besides, black people have had a lot to endure and many trials and tribulations they’ve had to go through! Yet there out here still prospering despite it all, and Soul Food Sunday will prosper despite the gross, biased, and unfair statements being made about them!
Stew-O: …
Flannery McCoy: …
Jake Mercer: Yeah, that’s right! Shut up and check your privileges!
(‘Ain’t Nobody’ fades and ‘People are Strange’ by The Dead South kicks up. Kirk Redwood and Solomon Stane walk out to the ramp followed by Trixie Stane. They pull out custom shot glasses for their match and she pours shots for them. They toast to each other, down the shots then walk to the ring taunting their opponents and the crowd. Astraea and Viz look at them with a slight bit of disgust as Kirk and Solomon enter the ring.)
Stephie Love: And introducing their opponents! At a combined weight of 476 pounds… THE OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMIIIIINNNNNEEEEES!
Stew-O: And here come the Off-Brand Amphetamines, ready to go. No doubt that they’re feeling good about themselves after picking up the win last week.
Flannery McCoy: Kylie and Haruka put up a valiant effort on behalf of Voltage, but the Off-Brand Amphetamines are no joke. They are cold, callous and vicious, and as Kylie froze up, the former tag team champions wasted no time capitalizing on her mistake and scored the win. After some performances that didn’t lead them to get the desired outcomes they want, they’re now not only looking to carry the momentum they have with the into Territorial Invasion, but to get their names back into the title picture.
Jake Mercer: The Off-Brand Amphetamines will tell you themselves that there’s a lot they still wish to accomplish with the Unified Tag Team Championships and in the tag team division as a whole. With a handful of other teams trying to stake their claim and get at the Prescription, Solomon and Kirk want to make sure they’re the ones that stick out as the leaders they see themselves as. In fact, both teams are likely seeing this match as the one that will help launch them into being seen as the unwavering leaders as Territorial Invasion gets closer and closer!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: And here we go! This match is officially underway! Solomon and Visual Prophet look to be starting things off for their respective teams as the two of them lock up right in the center of the ring. There’s a whole lot of pushing, but neither men are budging! Solomon goes to switch behind Viz and get in a waist lock. He clubs Viz right in the back of the head! He goes to take him to the mat, but Viz still keeps his weight centered. A back elbow hits Solomon on the head and he lets go! Viz whirls around and gets a forearm shot in! He grabs Solomon by the wrist and whips him across the ring. Solomon returns from the rebound and Viz gets him trapped by the waist!
Jake Mercer: Viz hoists the big man up — but Solomon strikes him head-on with the headbutt! Viz drops him back to his feet and Solomon just slaps both of his ears! That had to hurt! Viz lets go and stumbles back, but Solomon knees him in the gut! Viz hunches over! Solomon takes some steps back and raises his foot up for a superkick–
Flannery McCoy: Oh, but Visual Prophet catches the foot! Solomon’s eyes widen and Viz shakes his head at him! He spins Solomon around and goes to take him down with a clothesline! Solomon ducks! Stane now sends a punch his way! Viz ducks that! Both men charge at each other! Both of them connect with stiff forearm shots! They stare at each other for a moment before going for the ropes, and they meet right in the center of the ring with dual shoulder blocks! They’re both still standing!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, these two are easily the biggest competitors on the Dynasty brand, and they both aren’t the type that goes down easily! Viz talks a bit of trash while Solomon just smirks right in his face. Viz sends a punch his way, but Solomon blocks that message! A hard-hitting right lands flush against Prophet’s temple! Solomon gets the headlock and takes him down to the mat! Those biceps of his are working to get that hold on Prophet’s head cinched in!
Stew-O: Viz begins to stir though, and slowly he’s back to his feet. A forearm collides with the back of Solomon Stane! Then another! The third time seems to be the charm as Stane finally lets the headlock go! Viz pushes him off and runs right in, bringing his arm out to DECK HIM WITH A REAR CLOTHESLINE–
Flannery McCoy: No! Stane ducks at the last possible second! Viz turns, but he gets FLOORED with the big boot straight to his chest! Viz is down! Solomon Stane goes for the quick cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: Kickout by Visual Prophet! And he smartly rolls right to his corner and tags Astraea in who is more than happy to get into the ring! She hops over the top rope, and gets right into Solomon’s face! Or, well, as close as she can to it, anyways! Solomon just smirks, but Astraea lays into him with a series of forearms to the chest! She hits the ropes, but SOLOMON GETS THE FOOT UP FOR ANOTHER BIG BOOT!
Stew-O: No! Jordan scouts that one out after sliding right underneath! She pops right back up and hits a dropkick to Solomon! She kips up upon landing on her back! Amazing athleticism from the Blackprint herself!
Flannery McCoy: Impressive on her part, but she better get a move on because the Mojave Madman isn’t down yet! He goes for a punch, but Astraea rolls forward and avoids that! She catches Solomon with a swift kick to his leg! Then another! She’s just sending a series of kicks his way, trying to cut the big man down! She goes for another one– and he catches it! She went to the well one too many times! Solomon grabs her and sends Astraea over with the belly-to-back suplex–
Jake Mercer: SHE LANDS ON HER FEET! Solomon looks shocked for a moment and rushes in, but Astraea does a handstand and gets him caught up with her legs! She twists her body and takes Stane to the mat with the headscissors takedown! She pops right back up as Solomon gets to a seated position, and Jordan comes in and takes him down with a SLIDING CLOTHESLINE! A quick cover!
ONNNNNNNNEEE–
Stew-O: Solomon kicks out, and emphatically as Astraea goes flying! She rolls on over by the Off-Brand Antephetamines’ corner, and HERE COMES SOLOMON STANE WITH A BACK ELBOW! ASTRAEA IS STUNNED! SOLOMON HITS THE ENZUIGIRI AND JORDAN STUMBLES OUT RIGHT INTO THE WAITING ARMS OF STANE! THE BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX SENDS HER DOWN, AND STANE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEE!
TWOOOOO–
Stew-O: Kickout from Astraea Jordan! That sequence really caught her off guard.
Jake Mercer: Yeah, she’s able to get her shoulder up, but Solomon is right back on top of her! He gets her up and throws her back-first into his team’s corner! He tags Kirk in and now the Dog of War is lighting her up with a series of slaps and palm strikes! Kirk backs up and comes in with a vicious european uppercut! Astraea is down in the corner!
Flannery McCoy: Now he drags her up to her feet and sends her over with the exploder suplex! Kirk scales up the turnbuckle and he SENDS HIS KNEE RIGHT DOWN INTO THE MIDSECTION OF ASTRAEA JORDAN! REDWOOD IS RELENTLESS! And Kirk has a sly grin on his face as he goes to cover Astraea!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO–!
Stew-O: Kickout! Astraea clutches her midsection and comes to a knee, but Kirk meets her with a stiff slap across the face! He snakes behind and gets the rear headlock in! Astraea is clutching onto the arm underneath her chin, trying to pry it away, but Kirk isn’t letting go! And just for her troubles he directs a knee right into her back! Astraea winces! Viz is encouraging her to get up! Jordan does her best to get up, but once again, Kirk targets the back with his knee! And this time, he clubs her with an elbow to the top of her head!
Jake Mercer: Oof. That isn’t good! Now Kirk forces Astraea up only to wrap his arms around her waist and NAIL HER WITH THE GERMAN SUPLEX! HE DOESN’T LET GO! HE COMES BACK UP WITH HER AND AGAIN THROWS HER BEHIND WITH ANOTHER GERMAN! HE KEEPS THE BRIDGE LOCKED FOR A PIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO–
Flannery McCoy: Kickout from Astraea! Kirk huffs but he doesn’t waste any time! He gets her up and whips her right into his team’s corner! Kirk tags in Solomon and they BOTH NAIL THE HEADBUTTS! Kirk exits and Solomon lifts Astraea up onto his shoulder. He brings her to the ropes and drops her right on the throat across them! Astraea drops onto her back, but Solomon doesn’t relent! His hand is on her throat! With pure strength, he lifts her up and SLAMS HER DOWN WITH THE ONE-HANDED CHOKESLAM! TRIUMPH OF TRUTH! WITH THE SITOUT POSITION, HE HOLDS ON FOR THE PIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
TH–
Stew-O: VIZ COMES RUSHING IN AND BREAKS UP THE PIN ATTEMPT! Now, Kirk runs in and catches him with a knee strike! Viz rolls out as Kirk follows him and the two start to scrap outside the ring! The referee watches on and warns them to stop! Solomon gets up and sees the commotion!
Flannery McCoy: Oh! Viz decks Kirk in the gut and sends him CRASHING into the barricade! Solomon yells at him, and Viz yells right back at him! Solomon looks over and sees Kirk on the ground. There may be a bit of concern on his face.
Jake Mercer: Maybe! That is his partner after all, but he can’t lose sight of Astraea! At least now he redirects his focus onto her– AND SHE KICKS HIM RIGHT IN THE KNEE! SOLOMON DROPS DOWN! Astraea scurries back up and SLAMS STANE DOWN WITH AN IMPROMPTU SNAP DDT! Great recovery on her part! Smart of her to capitalize and give herself a moment of reprieve. Now she tags in Viz as he made his way back to the apron! Viz comes in and drops an elbow right onto the back of Stane! Prophet gets him to his feet and brings him to his corner with that back facing him! He brings his shoulder into Stane’s back! And another! A stiff forearm follows and Viz gets Stane up! He drops him with the back suplex! Stane is hurting now! He’s slow to come back up and VISUAL PROPHET HITS HIM WITH THE SPINNING BACKFIST! STANE IS STUNNED! BUT PROPHET ISN’T DONE! HE GRABS STANE AND CUTS HIM DOWN WITH THE REVERSE STO INTO THE DDT!!!
Flannery McCoy: Wow, he followed up the Ike Turner Special into the VDT! Vizzy is on fire! He rolls Stane over to the middle of the ring and covers him!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THR–
Stew-O: BUT KIRK REDWOOD COMES IN AND BREAKS IT UP! KIRK WAS ABLE TO GET UP AND RESCUE SOLOMON IN TIME! HE’S CLUTCHING HIS MIDSECTION, BUT HE MADE IT!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, and he looks pissed! He’s clubbing Viz with forearms after forearms, likely in retribution for their little spat on the outside! The referee tries to pry him away! Kirk is up, but he GOES STRAIGHT BACK IN AND STOMPS DOWN ON THE VISUAL PROPHET! HE IS ENRAGED!
Flannery McCoy: Here comes Astraea now though, and she decks him from behind! Kirk is down to one knee! She goes to grab him by the head and brings him back to his feet! She’s going to throw him out of the ring–
Stew-O: BUT KIRK REVERSES AND INSTEAD USES THAT MOMENTUM TO SEND JORDAN OUT! SHE’S ON THE APRON! KIRK CHARGES IN BUT ASTRAEA SPRINGS OVER WITH THE SOMERSAULT AND DECKS HIM WITH THE BUCKSHOT LARIAT! KIRK ROLLS OUT OF THE RING, AND ASTRAEA LEAVES!
Jake Mercer: Wow! What a move by Jordan! Now she’s back to recovering on the apron and Viz gathers his bearings! He goes to tag in Astraea! Prophet gets Stane up, lifts him, and sends him down as ASTRAEA CATCHES HIM WITH THE BRIDGING BACK SUPLEX! THEY GET THE BOOMERANG! COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(“Ain’t Nobody” plays and the crowd boos. However, Astraea Jordan and Visual Prophet pay them no mind as Viz goes to give Jordan a congratulatory hug.)
Stephie Love: Here are your winners, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUL FOOOOOD SUUUUUUUNDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAYY!
Stew-O: In this clash of top tag teams here on Dynasty, Soul Food Sunday are the ones that prevailed.
Jake Mercer: Haha, yessir! People had a lot to say to Astraea and Viz after they both suffered losses last week, but tonight, they emerge victorious together! I mean, credit to the Off-Brand Amphetamines; they’re former tag champions, after all. They were as competitive as can be, but tonight Soul Food Sunday were the ones that came out on top.
Flannery McCoy: You know, one has to wonder if Kirk was just a bit overzealous getting at Visual Prophet as he did towards the end. Perhaps if he let up sooner, then the Off-Brand Amphetamines would’ve–
Jake Mercer: Oh, stop with the excuses! There are no but’s! They lost! Simple as that! However, it isn’t a loss they should be ashamed of. They gave Soul Food Sunday a fight! Tonight just wasn’t their night!
Stew-O: At any rate, Soul Food Sunday were able to rebound and pick up the win this week, and now they’re heading into Terriotiral Invasion with momentum on the side. However, despite the loss, this match could serve to give the Off-Brand Amphetamines a boost of motivation for the Brand Warfare match.
(Trixie goes over to check on both Kirk and Solomon as they’re seated on the outside. Kirk shakes his head while Solomon purses his lips, eyeing down Soul Food Sunday.)
(The numbers 2/2/2019 with the letter “N” mysteriously flash across the screen before Dynasty comes back on air.)
(As the three-minute commercial break eventually comes to a close, ending in pitch black, the EAW Dynasty broadcast would subsequently return to TV screens all around the world, perhaps the biggest being the titantron above the ramp. From darkness the camera would pan up to show Michael Belfort standing in front of a cloth background covered with EAW logos. In his hand is an EAW-branded Dynasty microphone. Michael Belfort stares down the camera lens, before he lifts the microphone higher up toward his lips. As the camera stops panning, Michael would then begin to speak into the microphone.)
Michael Belfort: In just over a week from today, we will once again be at the annual Territorial Invasion Free-Per-View, entering none other than the United Kingdom. An exciting time for all EAW fans and wrestlers alike. The main attraction for this event, however, would be the traditional three-on-three-on-three tag team match, a perpetual best-of-the-brand trios match as the best Elitists on the active roster square off against one another to pick up the victory. This year, we are capped off by the Anarchy in the Arena match, a match greatly hyped up by the EAW universe. Joining us at this time are three competitors in this match, the three representing Dynasty, and as they have proclaimed themselves, representing the future of this company. Ladies and Gentlemen; Serenity Valdez, Joso, and Limmy Monaghan!
(As Michael Belford says those three names, the camera would begin to pan backwards. Michael Belford would no longer reside in the very center of the image, as he would quickly be shoved to the left of the frame, before simply not being in it entirely. As the camera lingers on the EAW logos for just a brief moment, Team Dynasty would one-by-one walk into the frame. Firstly we see Serenity Valdez, dressed in all-red casual clothing, with the EAW Specialists Championship propped up and tied around her left shoulder – a grin on her face as she enters. Next we see Joso, wearing a red-and-black version of his entrance jacket, along with a beanie reading “New Era” on the front, in the same font and style of the Dynasty logo. He too would be sporting his Championship, as he has one strap slumped over the opposite shoulder. Lastly enters Limmy Monaghan, as he wears a black Limmy Monaghan-branded T-Shirt alongside a red version of his Demon Slayer-inspired regular attire. He wouldn’t be sporting any Championship on his shoulder, however, it’d be evident that it isn’t even a focus in his mind, he doesn’t have a care in the world, ecstatic that his partners have the visual appeal on their shoulders. They all enter the center frame, as the camera pans out to show Michael Belfort once more.)
Michael Belfort: Limmy, Serenity, Joso; you three are just a week away from competing in the main event of Territorial Invasion, with this match being huge for all three of you, especially Joso and Serenity. It’s easy to assume that no matter what you would be hellbent on winning, however, it doesn’t just end there. This has grown beyond that big-match feel, as we have seen both yourselves and other brands interfere with each other at any chance they can, often leading to brawls and beatdowns. Does this change anything for you?
Limmy Monaghan: Michael, that isn’t a question that can be answered so simplistically. We can’t provide a yes-and-no question for something like this, because at the end of the day, it truly is just business. At the end of the day it truly is just how this was always going to be. We were always going to be attack. We were always going to attack other people. That is just how a match like this has and will continue to operate, as is any match on the field. To some extent, no it doesn’t change anything. In spite of this though, I believe it does give us that extra fire underneath or step. For me personally, it gives that extra motive to come out on top. The extra weight behind those punches. The extra speed behind those kicks. That drive to take a metaphorical pistol to another Elitist’s head before they can to you… but then again, I’m not the one to ask that question to.
(Limmy would then place his hands on Serenity and Joso’s shoulders, as the focus then shifts to them.)
Joso: I’m fully with Limmy here; it ain’t some easy question that we can just answer, but to state the obvious yeah, it has us all riled up. It’d be pretty shallow if we weren’t. So of course, we’re not going to let Team Voltage and Team Showdown get away with what they did. Of course we wanna cook them for doing that. What kind of Dynasty representatives would we be if we didn’t? We’re not here to frolic around doing nothing, they get the jump on us during Serenity’s match? We’re gonna get the jump on them back. Both teams did it, we’ve done it, and that’s gonna continue until it’s our hands held high. Yeah, we get it. This has been and will be hectic. There’s nothing more chaotic than putting nine of the best against each other, but the three best in us? We’re not gonna let Voltage and Showdown blindside us and not face the consequences. They wanted the lights so they’re getting the smoke with it.
(Moments later, we would see Serenity step forward.)
Serenity Valdez: And you know damn well that of all people? We can do it. Joso didn’t overcome Andre Walker and Ruler ‘cause he couldn’t handle the heat he dishes out himself. I didn’t win the Specialists Championship and beat everyone that wanted to take it from me because I wasn’t ready for the top stage. I mean, this Specialists Championship is the prelude to superstardom, and for those who didn’t get there… well, I did beat one of them into that. :mjlol:!!! The point is, we’re ready for that chaotic type of stuff. We’re ready for that hectic type of stuff. Most importantly? We keep our eyes on the ball each and every time, no matter how chaotic it gets. We’re just that damn good.
(Serenity chuckles as she finishes her sentence, before using the interior of her jacket to wipe down a little bit of fog on her shiny Specialists Championship’s front plate, cleaning up the gold that is resting over her shoulder. Joso would look directly at her gold, before back at his, smiling as the two top newcomers stand tall ready to head into battle, battle against some of the best of the best, on a stage they believe themselves to be absolutely prepared for. Confidence shines through the smirks on their faces, as Limmy Monaghan then steps forward.)
Limmy Monaghan: This gets chaotic, just as those two said, and to remind you all of what I spoke out about on Voltage: that’s just how this match operates. The possibility of the other teams making themselves known is simply never out of the question. They’re never a non-factor, they certainly aren’t here. For all we know, they could be behind this cloth, behind the camera, just ready to strike; any lesser man or woman would be paranoid like an addict going through withdrawal. But not us. Michael Belfort could turn this segment into something out of looney tunes and reveal himself to be a member of another team, and we still would not get ahead of ourselves. We’re always alert, we’re always on our toes, but we’re also focused, and that’s what counts. We are dead set on winning this match. We have our eyes on the prize. We know our strengths, and we know the stakes of this match. Any and all doubt will be eradicated upon the ear-aching sound of the bell ringing.
(Limmy Monaghan crosses his arms, as the camera slowly pans back over to Michael Belfort. Michael has an intrigued expression plastered on his face, as he pulls the microphone backward towards his lips.)
Michael Belfort: Since you bring that into the equation I have to ask: does any of that actually pose some concern for you heading into this contest, especially after everything that’s happened over the past few weeks? How are you preparing for this chaos?
Limmy Monaghan: Personally? Experience. I’m familiar with these types of attacks, and quite frankly, I know how to deal with them. Both in and out of matches. I’ve been able to share that knowledge with Serenity and Joso. How it usually happens, how to turn it into your favor. I know that Showdown and Voltage, the brands themselves, it truly isn’t mutually exclusive to just *us*, will be more than ready to strike. Now? Later? Next week? They’re going to have aces up their sleeves, and the entire Dynasty brand will be absolutely ready to combat it. Not just me. Not just Joso. Not just Serenity. But Madison, Bronson, Jay, and Off-Brand Amphetamines will all be prepared – all personal feelings aside. We will be ready to combat them, whether it be taking them out on their home court, or doing so next week at Territorial Invasion. I’ve made and kept promises fat enough to feed a horde of rabid animals, and I have yet another one for you. Dynasty is ready. We’re going to thrive.
Joso: We don’t miss.
Serenity Valdez: We are superior.
(As Team Dynasty give their final words, Serenity and Joso would give smug expressions fading into a look of focus, while Limmy Monaghan remains stern and cold. The camera would pan out once more as while wrapping up their wrists and fists, the team would then walk out of the shot. The camera once again lingers, before fading back to ringside.)
(Dynasty fades to ringside, where Stephie Love is seen holding a microphone in her hand.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
(‘Faneto’ by Chief Keef hits to a loud mixed reaction, and SOSA Henderson begins to walk out on his own, energetic as he usually is as he goes heads down the ramp. Despite the energy SOSA is clearly focused and ready for the upcoming match, having been in this feud against Soul Food Sunday for a while and having an even longer history with Serena Bennett.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first.. From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania… Weighing in at 191 pounds… SSSOOOOOOOSSSAAAAAAA HHHHEEEENNNNDDEERRRSSSOONNNNNN!!!!!
Stew-O: Half of BULLETSTORM out here tonight as, I guess you can say he’s up against an old “friend”. Serena and SOSA have known each other for a long time, and honestly, with their history, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a very physical match.
Flannery McCoy: At this point, it’d be wrong to even doubt that. These two are definitely going to hurt each other, and I know the rest of their teams will be watching this match very closely.
(‘Surfin’ (ft. Pharrell Williams)’ by Kid Cudi follows, and the crowd shifts into mostly boos as Serena Bennett walks out alongside Dr. Angelo D’Angelo. SOSA stares a hole in the two from inside of the ring, but Serena Bennett looks confident as the two members of Soul Food Sunday walk down the ramp. Despite their history, Serena is sure that she’ll pick up the victory and momentum heading into Territorial Invasion.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… Accompanied by Dr. Angelo D’Angelo…. Billed from Compton, California… Weighing in at 114 pounds, SSSSEERREEEENNNAAAA BEEEENNNNEETTTTTTTTT!!!!!!
Stew-O: Serena Bennett’s return to EAW was a huge surprise, but it’s been weeks since then and now we know what she’ll be doing at Territorial Invasion! In a week she’ll be facing Kassidy Heart, and I’m sure Kassidy will be watching this match closely as well.
Jake Mercer: Of course! This is a huge match between SOSA and Serena, who wouldn’t wanna watch this?
Flannery McCoy: I don’t think that’s what Stew meant, but I don’t entirely disagree. This match could definitely steal the show!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: HERE WE GO! SOSA HENDERSON RUNS AT SERENA BENNETT WITH A LARIAT THAT SERENA DUCKS, AND NOW SERENA GOES FOR TIP TOE- BUT SOSA USES HIS ARMS TO BLOCK THE PELE KICK BEFORE PULLING SERENA UP AND PUSHING HER INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! SOSA JUMPS UP FOR THE SUPERKICK THAT SETS UP DEADSHOT, BUT SERENA IS ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE CORNER BEFORE GRABBING SOSA FROM BEHIND! SOSA LANDS A BACK ELBOW THOUGH, CAUSING SERENA TO STUMBLE BACK AS SOSA PULLS HIMSELF UP ONTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! SOSA HENDERSON NOW LOOKING FOR A DIVING CLOTHESLINE, BUT SERENA AVOIDS IT!
Jake Mercer: SOSA ROLLED TO HIS FEET, BUT HE TURNED RIGHT INTO A SNAPMARE BY SERENA BENNETT THAT’S FOLLOWED UP BY HER TRYING TO SET UP TRAP QUEEN! SOSA IS ABLE TO USE HIS LEGS TO PULL SERENA AWAY BEFORE SHE COULD EVEN GRAB THE ARM, AND NOW BOTH ELITISTS GET BACK TO THEIR FEET BEFORE HITTING EACH OTHER WITH A FOREARM AT THE SAME TIME! Both Elitists run back at each other as it’s now Serena Bennett looking for a lariat, but SOSA ducks under while hooking the arm, and now he pulls Serena right into his arms as he looks for a bodyslam!
Flannery McCoy: It doesn’t connect though as Serena slips behind SOSA, pulling SOSA down into what looks to be a pin- WAIT NO! SOSA IMMEDIATELY KICKED OUT AS HE THOUGHT THE SAME BUT AS SOON AS HE FELL ON HIS STOMACH SERENA GRABBED HIM BEFORE TRYING TO LOCK IN A CROSSFACE! IT LOOKS LIKE SERENA HAD THAT SUBMISSION MOVE IN MIND INSTEAD BUT SOSA IS QUICKLY ABLE TO ROLL OVER AND FORCE SERENA OFF OF HIM, EXCEPT SERENA MANAGES TO GRAB ONTO HIS ARM, AND AS SOSA TRIES TO FIGHT OUT OF HER GRASP SERENA IS ABLE TO PULL HIM INTO A TRIANGLE CHOKE!!
Stew-O: We’re very early into this match but that’s a great way for Serena to put this match right in the palm of her hand! SOSA Henderson has the size advantage though, AND HE’S ABLE TO LIFT SERENA BENNETT UP INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION, BUT SERENA IS VERY QUICK TO START PUNCHING AWAY AT SOSA, CLEARLY HAVING A PLAN IN PLACE AS SHE KNEW THE SIZE DIFFERENCE HEADING INTO THIS ONE! SOSA HENDERSON LOOKS TO DROP SERENA WITH A POWERBOMB- BUT INSTEAD, SERENA BENNETT TAKES SOSA DOWN WITH A HURRICANRANA!
Jake Mercer: SOSA Henderson stumbles into the corner, and now Serena Bennett takes the opportunity to charge at him, BUT NOW IT’S SOSA DUCKING UNDER HER STRIKE ATTEMPT, BEFORE JUMPING UP AND TAKING SERENA DOWN WITH A NECKBREAKER! SOSA Henderson quickly gets back up as Serena uses the ropes to do the same, AND NOW SOSA HENDERSON RUNS IN BEFORE SENDING SERENA BENNETT OUT OF THE RING WITH A CLOTHESLINE! SERENA DIDN’T FALL ALL THE WAY OUT TO RINGSIDE THOUGH, INSTEAD HOLDING ONTO THE TOP ROPE AND USING THAT TO PULL HERSELF BACK ONTO THE RING APRON! This match is starting off hot, and I don’t think it takes a genius to see why!
Flannery McCoy: These two have a lot of history, and that’s even before the feud between BULLETSTORM and Soul Food Sunday started! I don’t think anyone that knows these two is surprised to see how this one started, but we’re definitely all entertained by it! Serena Bennett gets back to her feet, AND NOW SOSA JUMPS ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE ADJACENT FROM THE SIDE OF THE APRON SERENA IS ON, BEFORE SPRINGBOARDING AT SERENA FOR A TRIANGLE DROPKICK, KNOCKING SERENA BENNETT OFF OF THE APRON!!
Stew-O: This has been an exciting match so far, I can see why everyone’s enjoying this! SOSA steps out onto the ring apron- BUT SERENA BENNETT QUICKLY PUSHES HERSELF UP SO SHE CAN PUSH SOSA’S LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HIM, DROPPING HIM BACK FIRST ONTO THE RING APRON! Serena Bennett immediately drops back down, holding onto the apron to stop herself from falling onto the ground entirely! SOSA on the other hand is hurting as he remains on the apron, and now Serena pulls herself onto the ring apron, BEFORE JUMPING ONTO SOSA WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP AS BOTH ELITISTS FALL OFF OF THE APRON!
Jake Mercer: Both Elitists are down, both a bit exhausted already after the way this match has played out so far! Serena Bennett is able to roll back into the ring, but SOSA Henderson isn’t far behind at all- BUT HE WAS JUST FAR ENOUGH FOR SERENA TO CAPITALIZE AND HIT SOSA WITH A FOREARM TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD AS SOON AS HE ROLLED INTO THE RING! SERENA NOW UNLOADING WITH PUNCHES AND ELBOWS, BUT THE REFEREE BEGINS THE COUNT TO FIVE AS SOSA’S LEG IS STILL UNDER THE ROPES!! Serena Bennett gets off of SOSA before the count of five, meanwhile, SOSA uses the turnbuckles to pull himself up!
Flannery McCoy: Serena Bennett now rushing in, AND SHE DELIVERS TWO SHOOT KICKS! SERENA NOW WITH THE JUMPING BACK KICK- NO! SOSA catches the leg to prevent Serena from finishing the move combination I’m obligated not to share the name of, AND NOW SOSA SPINS SERENA AROUND BEFORE HITTING HER WITH A SINGLE LEG DROPKICK! SOSA uses the ropes to pull himself up as Serena Bennett slowly recovers, and it looks like SOSA has something in mind! SOSA BACKS INTO THE ROPES TO BOUNCE OFF OF THEM AS SOON AS SERENA GETS BACK UP, AND HE GOES FOR A SPEAR!!
Stew-O: SERENA JUMPS OVER IT!!! SERENA BENNETT JUMPED OVER SOSA’S SPEAR BEFORE PULLING HIM DOWN INTO A SUNSET FLIP PIN!!!
ONE!
TWO!!

Stew-O: SOSA KICKS OUT BEFORE ROLLING TO HIS FEET, AND HE BACKPEDALS INTO THE ROPES BEFORE RUNNING IN AND LOOKING FOR A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP OF HIS OWN, WHICH SERENA ROLLS AWAY FROM- JUST TO GET HIT WITH A SUPERKICK AS SOON AS SHE GETS BACK TO HER FEET!!! SERENA AVOIDED THAT DOUBLE FOOT STOMP BUT SHE COULDN’T SEE THAT SUPERKICK COMING, AND THAT’S GIVEN SOSA AN ADVANTAGE AS HE PULLS HER INTO HIS GRASP!
Jake Mercer: SOSA HENDERSON PULLS SERENA INTO A FRONT FACELOCK BEFORE HOOKING HER ARM OVER HIS NECK, AND NOW SOSA LIFTS SERENA UP BEFORE DROPPING HER HEAD FIRST ONTO THE MAT WITH A BRAINBUSTER! SERENA’S HEAD WAS JUST SPIKED ONTO THE MAT, AND NOW SOSA HENDERSON WASTES NO TIME HOOKING THE LEGS AS THIS ONE MIGHT JUST BE OVER!
ONE!
TWO!!
T-
Jake Mercer: SERENA BENNETT KICKS OUT!! SERENA KEEPS THIS MATCH ALIVE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT’LL TAKE A LOT MORE FOR SOSA TO TAKE DOWN THE FIVE TIME WORLD CHAMPION!
Flannery McCoy: Five time? Don’t you mean- you know what? I’m not going to ask. Anyways, SOSA Henderson seems to be thinking about his next move as he can see that it’ll take a lot more to take Serena Bennett down for the three count! Serena Bennett has accomplished a lot, including two Universal Women’s Championship victories, so there should never be any doubt that putting her away won’t be easy! SOSA Henderson looks over at the corner, and I think he has something in mind as he rolls out to the ring apron before beginning to climb up the turnbuckles!
Stew-O: Serena Bennett is still down and out inside of the ring, and if SOSA Henderson could pick up the victory tonight then BULLETSTORM would have a lot of momentum on their side heading into Territorial Invasion as they face the remaining two members of Soul Food Sunday! SOSA makes it up onto the top turnbuckle, and after the confrontation we saw between these two during the week it’s clear that there’s no love lost between SOSA and Serena! SOSA Henderson up top as he looks to put this one away! PAID IN FULL!!!
Jake Mercer: NO! SERENA BENNETT ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY, ROLLING OUT ONTO THE RING APRON TO AVOID A MOVE THAT LIKELY WOULD HAVE PUT THIS MATCH AWAY! SERENA USES THE ROPES TO PULL HERSELF UP AS SOSA HENDERSON ROLLS TO HIS FEET, AND NOW SOSA TURNS TOWARDS SERENA AND CHARGES IN- BUT BEFORE HE COULD HIT HER SERENA DUCKS DOWN AND SENDS HER SHOULDER INTO SOSA’S MIDSECTION, CAUSING SOSA TO STUMBLE BACKWARDS AND GIVE HER ENOUGH TIME TO MAKE HER WAY UP TO THE TOP ROPE! NOW IT’S SERENA WITH THE DIVE AS SHE LOOKS FOR A CROSSBODY ON SOSA HENDERSON!!! IT CONNECTS!!!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT, WAIT A SECOND!!! SOSA HENDERSON ROLLS BACKWARDS AND GETS BACK TO HIS FEET, AND HE HAS SERENA BENNETT IN HIS ARMS!! SOSA HENDERSON MANAGED TO CATCH SERENA BENNETT AND HOLD ONTO HER INSTEAD OF ALLOWING HER TO DROP HIM WITH THE CROSSBODY, AND NOW SOSA HENDERSON LOOKS FOR A BODYSLAM- WAIT!! ANOTHER HUGE COUNTER!! SOSA LIFTED SERENA UP FOR THE BODYSLAM AND SERENA TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO PULL HERSELF DOWN ONTO HER FEET BEHIND SOSA HENDERSON, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THAT’S NOT ALL THE TWO-TIME UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION HAS IN MIND!
Stew-O: SERENA BENNETT BACKPEDALS INTO THE ROPES SO SHE CAN BOUNCE OFF OF THEM, AND AS SOON AS SHE BOUNCES OFF SHE GRABS SOSA AND DRIVES HIM FACE FIRST ONTO THE MAT WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG!!! SERENA BENNETT LOOKS FOR THE COVER ONCE MORE, SEEING IF SHE CAN PICK UP THE VICTORY AHEAD OF HER TERRITORIAL INVASION MATCH AGAINST KASSIDY HEART!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
T-
Stew-O: NO!!! SOSA HENDERSON GETS THE SHOULDER UP, MEANING THIS MATCH IS STILL ON!!! These two have already thrown a lot at each other, and somehow they still just won’t quit! Now it’s Serena Bennett having to think of a way to finish this one!
Jake Mercer: I think Serena might have figured out a way to put this one away, AS SHE IMMEDIATELY PULLS SOSA’S HEAD BACK, LOCKING IN A CAMEL CLUTCH AS SOSA HENDERSON IS STRUGGLING! SOSA HENDERSON HAS THE SIZE ADVANTAGE THAT’D USUALLY ALLOW HIM TO ESCAPE A HOLD LIKE THIS EASILY, BUT HE WAS SENT FACE FIRST INTO THE MAT JUST A FEW SECONDS AGO AND CLEARLY ISN’T ALL THERE JUST YET! SOSA might have to tap out, Serena Bennett has trained for years making sure her submissions are completely unbreakable! Some people have even speculated that she has an iron skeleton because of how impossible it is to break out of her holds!
Flannery McCoy: I’m pretty sure that’s a huge exaggeration, but SOSA definitely is gonna have a hard time getting out of this submission nonetheless! I don’t know what SOSA plans to do right now! He’d probably find it humiliating to tap out to Serena Bennett right now knowing the hatred they seem to hold for each other, but does he really have any better choices? He may have enough to pull himself to the ropes since Serena may not be able to keep him in place, but it’s a matter of whether or not he’ll be able to endure that much pain!
Stew-O: I think we have to keep in mind that Serena Bennett is also really skilled when it comes to these submissions, and she’s probably just as aware as SOSA when it comes to the fact that he’ll be able to pull himself towards the ropes! She most likely has a plan in place for if SOSA does get to the ropes, which just goes to show that SOSA is in a lot of trouble right now!
Jake Mercer: SOSA Henderson is dragging himself towards the ropes anyway, and if you’re right about this Stew then it looks like Serena has this match right in the palm of her hand! SOSA still needs to get out of the submission though, and as I’ve already said it’s not like he has a great chance of fighting out of it im his current condition! He basically has no other choice but to get to the ropes- WAIT A SECOND!!! SOSA WAS JUST ABOUT TO REACH THE ROPES, BUT SERENA LETS GO OF THE CAMEL CLUTCH BEFORE TURNING SOSA AROUND! TRAP QUEEN-
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! SOSA GRABS SERENA BEFORE ROLLING TO THE SIDE WHICH PULLS SERENA OVER HIM, AND NOW SOSA HENDERSON LOCKS IN A REAR NAKED CHOKE!!! LOOKS LIKE SERENA BENNETT DID HAVE SOMETHING IN MIND AS SHE WAS ABOUT TO TRANSITION INTO HER FINISHING SUBMISSION MOVE, BUT SOSA HENDERSON WASN’T UNPREPARED, TAKING A PAGE OUT OF SERENA’S BOOK AS HE PULLS A SUBMISSION MOVE OF HIS OWN OUT OF NOWHERE! These two clearly know each other very well, and because of that we’re getting such a closely competitive match that could really end either way!
Stew-O: Now Serena Bennett is struggling, and unlike SOSA, Serena doesn’t have the advantage of being able to overpower her opponent! Serena Bennett is definitely in trouble right now, and SOSA Henderson definitely deserves credit for managing to avoid the Trap Queen submission throughout this match! Serena may have to make an attempt to use the Serenity submission to put this match away instead, but she can’t do that if she taps out right here! Dr. Angelo D’Angelo is watching at ringside, and you can see that he’s worried for Serena as he doesn’t want to see her lose to SOSA tonight!
Jake Mercer: Serena Bennett trying to land back elbows to loosen SOSA’s grasp, but it’s not really working out in her favor! This match has really taken a turn here as it was only a few moments ago that SOSA was the one who was in the position to tap out! Whether Serena Bennett actually taps out or not remains to be seen, but I’ll tell you guys this-
Flannery McCoy: Please don’t make up another story.
Jake Mercer: … I was going to say that Serena Bennett had to endure a lot in order to accomplish all that she has, and she could be considered one of the most durable Elitists we have here for that reason.
Flannery McCoy: Oh. Well in that case you actually might not be wrong. Regardless, I don’t really know how Serena plans to get out of this submission, as at this point she has to be on the verge of losing consciousness, which just adds to the pre-existing issue of her exhaustion thanks to the heavy hitting match these two have had up to this point! If Serena doesn’t do something soon she might end up losing anyway thanks to her passing out!
Stew-O: That’s very true, but it looks like Serena might have something in mind after all! Serena is trying as hard as she can to get herself out of the hold, except instead of trying to pull SOSA’s arms off she’s pushing his legs away! Serena now- ROLLING BACKWARDS RIGHT ONTO SOSA, PUSHING HIS SHOULDERS DOWN INTO A PIN!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-
Stew-O: SOSA HENDERSON KICKS OUT AND RELEASES THE SUBMISSION AS BOTH ELITISTS KICK OUT! SOSA NOW JUMPING AT SERENA FOR THE JUMPING CUTTER- BUT SERENA SHOVES SOSA INTO THE ROPES- BEFORE HITTING HIM WITH THE CAPTAIN’S HOOK AS SOON AS HE REBOUNDED OFF THE ROPES!
Jake Mercer: SOSA NEARLY HAD HIS HEAD TAKEN OFF HIS BODY WITH THAT REBOUND UPPERCUT, AND NOW SERENA FALLS ON TOP OF HIM FOR THE COVER, LOOKING TO FINALLY PUT THIS ONE AWAY!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
Jake Mercer: SOSA HENDERSON KICKS OUT!!!! SOSA HENDERSON HAS SOMEHOW MANAGED TO KICK OUT JUST BEFORE THREE, AND ONCE AGAIN THIS MATCH STAYS ALIVE JUST WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE THAT WAS IT FOR HIM! Serena Bennett can’t believe that SOSA managed to kick out, and I can’t blame her for the disbelief one bit! It looked like this match was over to me!
Flannery McCoy: It really did, but now Serena Bennett needs to make a decision! SOSA is down and out and this is the perfect opportunity for Serena to try and lock in either Trap Queen or Serenity, but SOSA has found a counter for all of Serena’s submissions throughout this match, so who’s to say that he can’t do it again? Serena’s in a bit of a tough spot after all that these two have done throughout this match, and it looks like Serena’s about to try and do something else as she chooses to pull SOSA up!
Stew-O: Serena Bennett is slowly pushing SOSA up onto the top rope, and it looks like Serena plans to utilize some sort of avalanche move to put SOSA away! Serena Bennett slowly making her way up the turnbuckles, AND SHE HITS SOSA WITH A RIGHT HAND! AND SHE HITS ANOTHER ONE, AND A THIRD! SERENA SHOWING NO SIGNS OF STOPPING AS SHE LOOKS TO MAKE SURE SOSA STAYS DOWN- BUT SOSA HITS SERENA WITH A PUNCH THAT NEARLY KNOCKS HER OFF THE TURNBUCKLES! SOSA DOESN’T HAVE MUCH LEFT IN HIM BUT HE’S DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO STOP SERENA!
Jake Mercer: NOW SERENA AND SOSA ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH, STRUGGLING TO SEE WHO’LL TAKE CONTROL AS THEY’RE BOTH IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION! IF EITHER OF THEM FALL OFF FROM THE TOP ROPE THEY MAY END UP TAKING A LOSS HERE TONIGHT, BUT NEITHER OF THEM ARE WILLING TO QUIT RIGHT NOW AS THEY BOTH CONTINUE TO HIT EACH OTHER WITH AS MUCH FORCE AS THEY CAN! SERENA AND SOSA ARE BOTH CLEARLY WORN OUT, BUT THAT’S NOT STOPPING THEM FROM DOING WHATEVER THEY CAN TO WIN- WOAH! HEADBUTT BY SERENA!
Flannery McCoy: THAT CAUGHT SOSA OFF GUARD, AND NOW SERENA PULLS SOSA INTO A FRONT FACELOCK! SERENA BENNETT SLOWLY HOOKING THE ARM BEFORE GETTING HER FEET ONTO THE TOP ROPES, AND- NO! SOSA HENDERSON REGAINS HIS STRENGTH AND PUSHES SERENA BENNETT DOWN INTO THE RING!!! SOSA HENDERSON JUST SAVED HIMSELF FROM WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A SUPERPLEX, BUT SERENA BENNETT MANAGED TO LAND ON HER FEET!!! SERENA ALSO SAVED HERSELF- BUT SOSA NOTICES THIS AND QUICKLY DELIVERS A DIVING MISSILE DROPKICK, KNOCKING SERENA BACKWARDS AS SHE ROLLS TO HER FEET AND STUMBLES RIGHT INTO THE CORNER, EXACTLY WHERE SOSA WANTS HER!
Stew-O: SOSA Henderson pushes himself back up to his feet as he sees Serena Bennett in the corner barely even able to stand, AND NOW SOSA TAKES THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHARGE IN, BEFORE HITTING THE SUPERKICK!!! SOSA HENDERSON SETTING UP FOR DEADSHOT AS HE GOES FOR THE-
(Suddenly, the crowd starts booing loudly in a way that catches SOSA’s attention, and he takes a glance at some of the fans in the crowd, whose eyes aren’t on the action going on inside of the ring. SOSA turns to the stage which is where everyone’s attention has shifted to, and the titantron is on, showing an altercation backstage where the Visual Prophet and Astraea Jordan are attacking Aurora Monroe. Aurora is trying to fight back but ultimately the numbers game is too much for her, as the Visual Prophet is able to grab Aurora and hold her in place for a big boot by Astraea. Together, the two Elitists throw Aurora into the wall, taking her out in a brawl that seemed to have already started before being filmed.)
Stew-O: Wait.. WHAT?? AURORA MONROE WAS ATTACKED BY SOUL FOOD SUNDAY!!!???
Jake Mercer: SOSA HENDERSON CAN’T BELIEVE HIS EYES!!! HE WAS ABOUT TO TRY AND PUT SERENA BENNETT AWAY, BUT HIS TAG TEAM PARTNER WAS JUST ATTACKED!!!
Flannery McCoy: Now what’s SOSA gonna do??! BULLETSTORM being separate right now with Aurora being backstage allowed Soul Food Sunday to take Aurora out, and SOSA knows that!
(SOSA looks at Serena for a second knowing that he had a chance to finish this match off and wasted it now that she is stirring, and finally SOSA looks at the titantron one more time before sliding out of the ring and beginning to run up the ramp.)
Stew-O: It looks like SOSA is choosing to go after the final two members of Soul Food Sunday to get some revenge! I think this match might have been thrown out of the window, as I don’t think SOSA plans to return to the ring by the ten count!
(Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(SOSA rushes to the area where the attack happened, but when he gets there only Aurora Monroe is there, still down on the ground. SOSA Henderson is pissed off, and he tends to Aurora Monroe as Serena Bennett remains in the ring, watching all of this go down.)
Stew-O: It looks like Astraea and Viz got out of there before SOSA could catch up to them, and he’s clearly not happy about that one bit!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, that was a messed up attack, but Serena and Dr. Angelo D’Angelo both look pleased with how things went down!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, but I don’t think BULLETSTORM is just going to-
(Before Flannery could even finish speaking, ‘Partition (Smearcase Trap Remix)’ by Beyoncé catches everyone by surprise as the titantron switches to the entrance video of Kassidy Heart. The crowd erupts into a loud and mixed reaction as Serena Bennett waits in the ring, ready for what’s coming as Kassidy storms out, clearly ready to fight as she makes no time rushing to the ring.)
Stew-O: NOW WAIT A SECOND!!! KASSIDY HEART IS HERE, AND SHE’S HEADED RIGHT TO THE RING WHERE HER TERRITORIAL INVASION PARTNER IS WAITING!!!!
Jake Mercer: SERENA BENNETT IS READY, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE TERRITORIAL INVASION OPPONENTS ARE GOING TO FIGHT AS KASSIDY GETS DOWN TO RINGSIDE AND-
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: (off-mic) YOU DON’T TOUCH HER!!!
(Just as Kassidy Heart was about to slide into the ring, Dr. Angelo D’Angelo gets in front of her.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: (off-mic) You don’t belong in the same ring as her!
(Dr. Angelo D’Angelo continues to scream at Kassidy Heart, just annoying the former Answers World Champion as she stares a hole into him.)
Stew-O: Dr. Angelo D’Angelo seemingly trying to prevent Kassidy from fighting Serena- AND NOW KASSIDY HEART GRABS DR. ANGELO D’ANGELO BEFORE SHOVING HIM TO THE SIDE, BEFORE LOOKING TO- WOAH!!! SERENA BENNETT WITH A DROPKICK THROUGH THE ROPES, CATCHING KASSIDY OFF GUARD AS SERENA SLIDES DOWN TO RINGSIDE BEFORE GOING AFTER HER!!
Jake Mercer: DR. ANGELO D’ANGELO JUST GAVE SERENA AN OPENING AS SHOVING HIM OUT OF THE WAY CAUSED KASSIDY TO TAKE HER EYES OFF OF HER! SERENA IS PUNCHING AWAY REPEATEDLY AT THE FORMER ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION BEFORE BEGINNING TO STOMP AWAY AT HER, AND NOW SERENA BENNETT SEEMS TO HAVE SOMETHING ELSE IN MIND AS SHE PICKS KASSIDY UP!
Flannery McCoy: SERENA THROWS KASSIDY RIGHT INTO THE STEEL STEPS, AND AS SOON AS KASSIDY TRIES TO PULL HERSELF UP SERENA RUNS IN AND DROPS HER WITH THE CAPTAIN’S HOOK!!! KASSIDY HEART IS DOWN AND OUT, AND SERENA BENNETT STANDS TALL AHEAD OF TERRITORIAL INVASION!
Stew-O: These two Territorial Invasion matches are going to be huge, but the question is whether or not we’ll see these same outcomes at the event, or if BULLETSTORM and Kassidy will get some payback! I suppose we’ll get the chance to find out in just one week’s time! Either way, I don’t think Kassidy will be happy after this.
(‘Surfin’ (ft. Pharrell Williams)’ hits, and as the crowd boos, Serena Bennett stands over Kassidy Heart. Kassidy Heart is down on the ground after being sent into the steel steps and hit with the uppercut, and as Dr. Angelo D’Angelo pulls himself back up, Soul Food Sunday stands tall as Dynasty fades from ringside.)
(A commercial is shown for Territorial Invasion just a week away, as the Brand Warfare and Anarchy in The Arena matches are advertised with them specifically hyping up the Dynasty side of things with shots of Limmy Monaghan and Madison Kaline in action.)
(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is your MAIN EVENT!!! And it is a two-on-two tag team match scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(“Runnin” by 21 Savage & Metro Boomin plays out Bronson Daniels to a thunderous ovation from the fans, but he waits on the stage as O Fortuna by Carl Orff plays out Madison Kaline next, who’s flanked by Team Dynasty for Brand Warfare. Together, they walk to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! At a combined weight of 330 pounds, accompanied to the ring by Team Dynasty…THE TEAM OF BRONSON DANIELS AND MADISON KALINE!
Flannery McCoy: This is about to be something, Joso and Limmy Monaghan versus Bronson and Madison Kaline.
Stew-O: Madison may have come up short in her Showdown appearance, but that doesn’t change the fact she’s a Hall of Famer, doesn’t change the fact she’s one of the best on this brand.
Jake Mercer: Everyone’s got work cut out for them.
(Madison and Bronson discuss strategy in their corner as ‘King’s Dead’ by Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Future, James Blake blares throughout the arena, playing down Limmy Monaghan, who walks down the rampway, and awaits the arrival of his partner. ‘Trophies’ by Drake plays out the Interwire Champion, Joso, accompanied by the Specialists Champion, Serenity Valdez.)
Stephie Love: And their opponents! At a combined weight of 433, accompanied to the ring by Serenity Valdez…THE TEAM OF LIMMY MONAGHAN AND JOSO!!
Stew-O: Limmy Monaghan and Joso are two talents pegged to be something special for Elite Answers Wrestling, and they’ve shown exactly why.
Flannery McCoy: Something we know, something they know. They’re both men confident in their abilities, and that’s no different tonight.
Stew-O: We’ll see if said confidence pays off.
(Both teams discuss something with each other in both corners as the referee signals for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The bell has rung, and we are finally underway with both Limmy Monaghan, and Bronson Daniels starting things off for their respective teams. Both men circle each other early, sort’ve in that feeling out process, and Limmy locks up with Daniels in the center of the ring. Bronson gets backed into the corner, but a switch takes place with Daniels pinning Monaghan up in the corner now!
Flannery McCoy: Then another! Limmy regains the upper hand, having Bronson Daniels firmly pinned in the corner, and the referee has to intervene, separating the two men, who were attempting to jockey for position. Luckily, it’s a clean break, and Limmy backs up, creating space for Bronson to lock up once more in the center with him. Again, Monaghan gets the advantage with a standing side headlock.
Stew-O: He’s wrenching on it, but Bronson escapes with repeated back elbows to the abdominal area. This leaves Limmy open for knife edge chops, which echo throughout the arena, and leans him up against the ropes for an Irish whip! Daniels stops himself from rebounding back into the open arms of Monaghan, wrapping his arms around the top rope, forcing Limmy to charge in-
Jake Mercer: RIGHT INTO A BIG BOOT FROM DANIELS STAGGERING HIM BACK! Bronson charges in himself, but wanders right into danger, similar to Monaghan, who takes him down with an arm drag! Limmy attempts to keep the arm hooked, but Bronson returns to his feet, and backs him up against the corner.
**TAG!!**
Stew-O: The tag is made, in comes Madison Kaline. Bronson has the arm of Limmy hooked still, leaving him open to a knee to the midsection from Kaline. Limmy staggers up against the ropes, and Madison strikes him some more in the abdomen with right hands, soon bringing him in for a European uppercut! That was just vicious on Madison’s end, and must’ve hit hard as Limmy stumbled back towards the ropes, keeping his hand grabbed on the top one as he doubled over.
**TAG!!**
Flannery McCoy: Bronson Daniels re-enters the fray as Madison jacks the jaw of Limmy again with another European uppercut, keeping him leaned up against the ropes as the two Irish whip him off! DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE ATTEMP-
**TAG!!**
Flannery McCoy: Joso made the blind tag as Limmy rebounded off the ropes, and ducked underneath their clothesline. Both Madison and Bronson spin around to face him as he simply rolls out underneath the bottom rope, signaling that they turn around once he’s on the outside. …AND FROM THE TOP, JOSO SOARS OFF WITH A CROSSBODY ONTO MADISON!
Stew-O: After she pushed Bronson out of the way, which was a wise move by the Hall of Famer, and don’t forget, captain of Team Dynasty. Building trust with her teammates, and team members, who stand on the outside, watching the action go down. Serenity’s doing the same for the opposite side, and I’m sure both wanna make sure no funny business goes down.
Flannery McCoy: But shifting the conversation back to the in-ring action, Madison pushed Bronson out of the way, allowing him to watch from the corner as Joso got back to his feet. Kaline rolls out of the ring, and Daniels attempts to strike, but runs right into a kick to the midsection! Irish whi- no! Daniels reverses, sending Joso to the ropes instead. BACK BOD- NO! JOSO FLIPS OVER BRONSON, LANDING ON HIS FEET, AND DANIELS SPINS AROUND, RIGHT INTO A DROPKICK!
Stew-O: Picture perfect! Did you see the air he got! Bronson rolls out of the ring, and Joso lines him up for what seems to be a suicide dive! BUT SIMPLY SPRINGS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE FOR A MOONSAULT, LANDING ON HIS FEET IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!
(Joso points to Bronson, and laughs at faking him out with the dive, something the crowd eats up, despite Joso displaying some cockiness on his end.)
Jake Mercer: Joso! Look out!
Flannery McCoy: Madison jumped up on the apron behind him as he was paying attention to Bronson, BUT JOSO MUST’VE SENSED IT AS HE TAKES HER DOWN WITH A TRIANGLE CLOTHESLINE! Kaline rolls off the apron, and to her feet ringside. BUT LIMMY SLIDES IN THE RING, AND WIPES HER OUT WITH A TOPE CON HILO!
Stew-O: Limmy slides back into the ring, and surveys the scene with Joso as Team Dynasty for Brand Warfare approaches a stirring Madison on the outside. You can even see Serenity keeping a watchful eye, but Kaline and Daniels discuss strategy on the outside before returning to their side of the ring.
Flannery McCoy: Bronson goes to enter the ring, but quickly slides back out as he saw Joso approaching. He took a swipe at Joso’s legs, but he leaped over the arm! SLING- NO! Joso slingshotted himself over the top rope, but caught himself on the apron as Bronson slid into the ring. Right hand attempt from Daniels, who gets a shoulder thrust to the abdominal area for his troubles. Bronson stumbles back, creating space for Joso to springboar-
Stew-O: Madison cuts him off, grabbing hold of his ankle, and pulling it out from underneath him. Joso hit face first on the apron. I’m not sure if Bronson saw that, seeing as he was still reeling. But regardless, has to capitalize as he exits the ring, grabbing the back of Joso’s head, and driving him back first into the barricade HARD! Bronson Daniels isn’t done yet, bouncing Joso face first off the apron now! Repeatedly! Stunning the opponent before rolling him back into the ring.
Flannery McCoy: Joso gets to all fours, but Bronson grabs control of the wrist, backing himself up into the corner.
**TAG!!**
Flannery McCoy: Daniels is tagged on the back by Kaline, who climbs to the top rope as he wrings the arm of Joso. DIVING DOUBLE AXE HANDLE TO THE ARM OF JOSO! Joso favors the arm, but Madison grabs the back of his head, and slams him face first off the top turnbuckle, sinking him down in the corner with stomps to the body, pressing the last one up against his face. The referee interferes with a five-count on Madison.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! F-
Stew-O: The referee winds up pulling her away, but Madison is back on the attack with even more stomps in the corner. Kaline brings Joso up, and sends him out through the middle rope. Kaline balances herself on the top turnbuckle, but drops down, deciding against the dive, much to the crowd’s dismay, and tagging out to Daniels on the apron.
Jake Mercer: :noah: I really wanted to see the dive.
Flannery McCoy: Guess Madison decided to preserve herself for right now, and Bronson drops down off the apron, rolling a stunned, yet kneeled Joso back into the ring. Daniels re-enters himself, and takes the Interwire Champion down with a snap suplex in the middle! Joso jolts to a seated position, wincing from the pain in his back, but Bronson lies him back down for the lateral press!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
Stew-O: Bronson’s gonna have to do more than that as Joso kicks out. But opts to wear his opponent down with a rear chin lock, halting Joso from mounting any momentum as of this moment.
Jake Mercer: Don’t underestimate Joso, even after spending some time in that chin lock, he powers back to a vertical base.
Stew-O: Back elbows connect to the midsection of Daniels, loosening his grip, but Bronson notices this and causes Joso to stagger back into his corner with a forearm smash! Flesh meets bone! But as I say that, JOSO DELIVERS A BACK ELBOW SMASH TO MADISON ON THE APRON! Kaline got knocked off, and Bronson almost took advantage of Joso having his eyes off the prize, charging right in! SUPERKICK!
Flannery McCoy: Joso caught him with a superkick, and grabs a dazed Daniels into a front facelock, hopping up to the middle rope for a tornado DDT, spiking Bronson on his head! Both men are down, but an angered Madison gets on the apron, hoping to seek vengeance after that elbow caught her under the chin. But the referee blocks her from entering the ring. Meanwhile, Joso crawls to the corner, and makes the tag out to Limmy Monaghan!
Stew-O: Limmy enters the ring, but immediately is stopped by the referee, who didn’t see the tag! He’s directing Limmy back to the apron, much to the fans’ dismay, who similar to us, saw the tag clear as day. Bronson drags a downed and exhausted Joso by the ankle into his corner, and Madison tags him on the back.
**TAG!!**
Jake Mercer: Of course, that one the referee saw. Not for the man who don’t miss!
Flannery McCoy: Madison and Bronson pull him up together, and hard Irish whip into the corner! Joso collapses prone on the canvas as Bronson heads out on the apron. Kaline picks Joso back up, and plants him in the center of the ring with a Neckbreaker, hooking the leg afterward for a cover!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
Stew-O: SHOULDER UP AT TWO! But Madison drags him back into her corner, now on the receiving end of a tag by Bronson!
**TAG!!**
Stew-O: Joso tries crawling back to his corner, wanting to tag out to Limmy once more. But Bronson cuts him off, deadlifting Joso from all fours up for a DEVASTATING POWERBOMB! Bronson keeps him stacked!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THH-
Stew-O: KICKOUT! AND BRONSON ROLLS HIM TO BOTH KNEES FOR A BICYCLE KNEE TO CONNECT! Joso’s sprawled prone onto the canvas after that one, looking down, but I don’t think Bronson’s sure if he’s completely out. So, makes the tag to Kaline!
**TAG!!**
Flannery McCoy: Bronson and Madison are already working well as a unit, that’s the team synergy you’re gonna need going into Territorial Invasion. But the two bring Joso back to his feet for a double Irish whip off the ropes. Both duck down, signaling early for a back body drop, but in doing so, gave Joso enough time to counter with a penalty kick to the face of Madison, knocking her down!
Stew-O: Joso stumbles back up against the ropes, and Bronson runs right into a back elbow! Madison’s back up, and wanders right into a forearm! Bronson stands himself back upright, and almost gets a kick to the gut by Joso, but catches it, and spins him around. DANIELS DUCKS BELOW THE DRAGON WHIP, BUT MADISON DOESNT IN TIME, TAKING HER DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: Joso swings on Daniels, who ducks underneath it again, hooking his arms for a dragon suplex it seems. But Joso holds his weight down, making Bronson struggle a bit with popping off the move. Madison gets back up, and goes for a cheap shot on a defenseless Joso! But he still puts those educated feet to good use, fending Madison off with a big boot!
Stew-O: Joso twirls out of the dragon suplex, and sends Bronson into Madison for a front facelock, AND TAKES HER DOWN WITH A JUMPING NECKBREAKER! Madison just spiked her own partner with a DDT!
Jake Mercer: Albeit, on accident!
Flannery McCoy: That was great resourcefulness on Joso’s end, who rolls to all fours, and leaps for the tag!
**TAG!!**
Flannery McCoy: TAG! And the referee witnesses it happen as Limmy rushes into the ring! Madison pulls herself up in the opposite corner, and turns around to get taken down by Limmy with a clothesline! Madison’s quickly back up, only to get knocked down with another clothesline! Madison rushes back to her feet, and gets sent into the ropes with a front kick to the chest!
Stew-O: Madison rebounds off, and gets caught flush with HOWITZER IMPACT! THE BICYCLE KNEE PLACES HER ON WOBBLY LEGS! Bronson slides into the ring, and tries for a clothesline on Limmy, but it’s ducked under, and Limmy springs off the top turnbuckle for a moonsault on both members of the opposing team!
Flannery McCoy: Bronson rolls out of the ring as Limmy makes the cover on Madison, hooking the leg deeply!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THH-
Flannery McCoy: Only a two! Limmy does the finger gun towards a downed Madison, signaling the beginning of the end! Limmy pulls her prone body up from behind, and onto his shoulders for an electric chair! BUT MADISON SLIPS OFF THE SHOULDERS, AND BEHIND MONAGHAN, WHO GETS SHOVED INTO THE CORNER! MADISON COMES IN, FULL HEAD OF STEAM!
Stew-O: Limmy gets both feet up, shoving Madison to the center as she rolls through to her feet! MONAGHAN BUILDS MOMENTUM HIMSELF NOW, BUT A SPEAR FROM KALINE HALTS THAT REAL QUICK! Madison rolls to her corner, seating herself there as she recovers. Bronson gets up on the apron, and tags out.
**TAG!!**
Flannery McCoy: Daniels enters the ring, and goes to pick Monaghan up by the head, but LIMMY SURPRISES DANIELS WITH A SMALL PACKAGE!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THH-
Flannery McCoy: Two count! Both competitors scramble back to their feet, and Limmy barrels into Madison on the apron with a back elbow, not her first time on the receiving end of one! Limmy’s leant up against that corner, and knocked Bronson back with a big boot as he came charging in! LIMMY RUNS IN TO CAPITALIZE- CHROME HEART TAGS! HE RAN RIGHT INTO THAT SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK!
Stew-O: Limmy got turned inside out, and Bronson hooks both legs!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHRRRRRREEEE-
Stew-O: KICKOUT! Bronson almost had him, but somehow, someway, Monaghan gets that second wind! Bronson stands himself up, and tags out to Madison on the apron.
**TAG!!**
Flannery McCoy: Kaline enters the ring, and Bronson shoves Limmy back into her. Madison hooks him up for a German suplex from the looks of it, but there’s a standing switch by Monaghan! Wait, standing switch by Madison, and she pushes Limmy into Bronson! BATMAN PUNCH! THE SUPERMAN PUNCH PLACES LIMMY ON EXTREMELY WOBBLY LEGS, AND HE DOUBLES OVER FOR MADISON TO HIT THE FAMEASSER! M.O.D. PLANTS MONAGHAN!
Jake Mercer: Bronson drops to a kneel, resting his arm on the middle rope, and Madison makes the cover!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHRRRR-
Stew-O: THERES JOSO IN WITH A JUMPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE BACK OF MADISON, BREAKING UP THE PIN, NOT WANTING TO RISK IT WITH HIS PARTNER! Bronson’s back to his feet, and hoists Joso to a fireman’s carry. I’m gonna guess he’s looking for Night Night. But Joso shows some fight, and slips off the shoulders off Bronson, shoving him into Madison, who sat herself down in the corner.
Flannery McCoy: Bronson brought himself to a halt before colliding with his partner, and turns around to face Joso once more. Daniels goes for a clothesline, but Joso traps the arm, and before he can capitalize off the counter, Madison interjects with a SUPERKICK!
Stew-O: Joso got out of the way in time, and almost connected on Bronson, who luckily caught the boot. But with his opponent defenseless, Joso takes Bronson out with a BICYCLE KICK! A SPINNING HEEL KICK BY MADISON TAKES OUT JOSO! AND LIMMY RE-ENTERS HIMSELF BACK INTO THE FRAY WITH HOWITZER IMPACT! THE BICYCLE KNEE CONNECTS ONCE AGAIN, THIS TIME DROPPING MADISON!
Flannery McCoy: Monaghan collapses to the canvas, and all competitors are down!
Jake Mercer: I wonder what Mave Deltzer is thinking after that phenomenal sequence!
Flannery McCoy: Please, seek help.
Stew-O: Both Bronson and Joso roll out of the ring. Madison rolls out to the apron, and Limmy realizes this after starting to stir, prompting him to pursue Kaline. Monaghan hooks her up for a suplex back into the ring, but Madison brings Limmy over the top rope, and onto the apron alongside her with a guillotine!
Flannery McCoy: ROUNDHOUSE KICK KNOCKS MADISON OFF THE APRON, BUT SHES STILL STANDING, EVEN IF BARELY! LIMMY DIVES OFF THE APRON WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP AIMED TOWARD HER STERNUM! BUT MADISON DUCKED UNDERNEATH! AND LOOK OUT!
Stew-O: JOSO SOARED THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A SUICIDE DIVE! Limmy slides in the ring as Joso rolls Madison back in it. Monaghan stands her up, and bounces Kaline off the ropes for an Irish whip! BUT SHE WRINGS THE ARM, AND PULLS HIM INTO A BELLY-TO-BELLY! MADISON HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
TH-
Stew-O: Kickout!
Flannery McCoy: During the pin, Joso tried sliding back in the ring to break it up! But Bronson grabbed hold of his leg before Joso kicked him away with both feet! Madison pulls Limmy up by the wrist, and tries short-arming him into AFTERLIFE! BUT MONAGHAN DUCKS BENEATH THE CLOTHESLINE, AND TAGS OUT TO JOSO, WHO PULLED HIMSELF BACK UP ON THE APRON!
Stew-O: Joso enters the ring, and takes Madison down momentarily with a running clothesline. Kaline picks herself up in the corner, Joso Irish whips her to the opposite- wait! Madison reverses, sending him instead! KALINE RUNS STERNUM FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS JOSO AVOIDS WHATEVER IT IS SHE HAD PLANNED! SCHOOL BOY!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!’
Flannery McCoy: Both competitors hurry back to their feet, and Madison looks to score a fast one on Joso with the schoolgirl roll-up!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THH-
Stew-O: KICKOUT!
Jake Mercer: Both competitors scramble back to their feet again, Madison is a bit quicker, and drops Joso with an M.O.D.! Limmy was on the receiving end of it, now Joso, who looks dazed on the canvas as Madison rolls to her corner, tagging out to Bronson Daniels!
**TAG!!**
Stew-O: Daniels is in the match once more, and lifts Joso up with a single underhook! JOSO WINDS UP TWIRLING OUT OF IT FOR A DISCUS LARIAT! JOSO RUSHES INTO THE COVER!
ONNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
THHHH-
Stew-O: Still unable to put Bronson away! But Joso has an idea as to what will, and picks Daniels up for Heaven’s Gate! The package piledri- BRONSON COUNTERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP!
Flannery McCoy: BUT JOSO LANDS ON HIS FEET, AND SPINS AROUND, WALKING RIGHT INTO NIGHT NIGHT! FIREMAN’S CARRY GTS! However, Bronson is unable to capitalize as he collapses down to the mat.
Stew-O: Daniels begins crawling over to Madison in the corner, hoping to make the tag, so they can end this!
Jake Mercer: HEY! WAIT A MINUTE! SOMETHING DIVERTS BRONSON AND MADISON’S ATTENTION, AND THAT’S THE TEAM SHOWDOWN SIDE OF BRAND WARFARE!
(The crowd absolutely roars in approval as multiple Elitists from the Showdown brand are seen jumping over the barricade and entering the ringside area. Chris Elite, Donovan Duke Ryan Wilson, Lexi, and Jon Kelton are seen with everyone beginning to take notice of the absolute chaos that is about to unfold right now.)
Stew-O: JAY JERRY JOHNSON AND THE OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES BEGIN TO TAKE NOTICE AND TRY TO RESTORE ORDER, BUT IMMEDIATELY RYAN WILSON RUNS IN AND CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING BOOT TO THE SIDE OF JAY’S FACE, BLINDSIDING HIM AS HE TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! SOLOMON AND KIRK LOOK TO HELP OUT, BUT LEXI AND JON KELTON ARE NOT FAR BEHIND AS THEY ATTACK BOTH THE FORMER UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPION AND KEEP THEM AT MAY!
Flannery McCoy: Bronson Daniels stands himself up, BUT GETS SHOVED INTO MADISON, KNOCKING HER OFF THE APRON! DONOVAN DUKE JUST CAME FROM BEHIND, AND CHARGES INTO BRONSON WITH A CORNER RUNNING FOREARM SMASH! THE ANARCHY IN THE ARENA DYNASTY TEAM IS BEGINNING TO TAKE NOTICE-
(The crowd continues to cheer some more as security is seen being shoved away from the backstage area, and the camera shows three Elitists bursting out onto the stage. Team Showdown’s Adam Lucas, Jake Smith, and Xander Payne are seen and they are wasting zero time making a beeline toward Limmy Monaghan, Serenity Valdez, and Joso who are all distracted with what’s going on with the Brand Warfare members!)
Jake Mercer: SERENITY IS THE FIRST ONE TO TAKE NOTICE AS SHE JUMPS OFF OF THE APRON AND RUNS TOWARD THEM, BUT XANDER LAUNCHES FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A BRUTAL HEADBUTT TO THE FACE TO LEAVE HER STUNNED MOMENTARILY! FROM THERE HE THEN GRABS HER AND SENDS HER SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS BEFORE HE THEN LAUNCHES FORWARD AND CONTINUES AN ASSALULT ON HER!
Stew-O: LIMMY TURNS AROUND AND BEGINS TO TAKE NOTICE, BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT ADAM LUCAS SWOOPS IN AND GRABS HIM BY THE LEGS BEFORE PULLING HIM OFF OF THE APRON! NOW THE TWO OF THEM WASTE NO TIME BEGINNING TO THROW PUNCHES AT ONE ANOTHER IN A HOCKEY FIGHT OF SORTS! WHAT PANDEMONIUM RIGHT NOW DURING THIS MAIN EVENT MATCH!
Flannery McCoy: JOSO LEAPS OFF AND ATTEMPTS TO TAKE DOWN SOME OF TEAM SHOWDOWN! BUT JAKE SMITH SWOOPS IN AND CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK TO KNOCK HIM DOWN IN MID-AIR! HE THEN MOUNTS ON TOP OF HIM AND BEGINS TO LAY DOWN SOME BRUTAL PUNCHES TO THE FACE AS THIS BRAWL IS ABSOLUTELY OUT OF CONTROL RIGHT NOW! TEAM DYNASTY! TEAM SHOWDOWN! ALL OF THEM GOING AT IT RIGHT NOW AND I DON’T SEE THIS BRAWL ENDING ANYTIME SOON!
Stew-O: MADISON AT RINGSIDE IS TRYING TO RECOVER AND SEE WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW- ‘OPEN YA MATA”! CHRIS ELITE WITH THE JUMPING KNEE STRIKE WHICH SENDS HER OFF OF THE APRON AND NOW THE TWO BRAND WARFARE CAPTAINS ARE GOING OFF ON ONE ANOTHER AND I DON’T THINK THE REFEREE HAS MUCH OF A CHOICE IN THE DECISION OF THIS ONE!
(DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!)
Flannery McCoy: THE REFEREE HAS LOST ALL ORDER, THEREFORE, GIVEN NO CHOICE BUT TO CALL THE MATCH OFF! ALL HELL HAS BROKEN LOOSE, A COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR TI SEASON!
Jake Mercer: THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME DIVIDE WITH THE ANARCHY MEMBERS FIGHTING ONE ANOTHER AND THE BRAND WARFARE MEMBERS DOING THE SAME RESPECTIVELY, BUT YOU CAN’T DENY THAT THIS IS ABSOLUTE CARNAGE RIGHT NOW AND THERE IS GOING TO BE NO WAY THERE’S A CLEAN END TO THIS ONE! WE NEED ORDER RIGHT NOW! WHERE THE HELL IS SECURITY???
Stew-O: Laid out on the stage thanks to Team Showdown. :francis:
Flannery McCoy: YOU CAN’T DENY THEIR MOTIVES THOUGH! LAST WEEK TEAM DYNASTY ATTACKED TEAM SHOWDOWN ON THEIR HOME TURF AND THIS IS A MATTER OF GETTING EVEN WITH THEM WHICH IS WHAT THEY SURELY DID! AND NOW THIS MAIN EVENT IS BEING CALLED OFF THANKS TO THEM AND I’M SURE THIS IS ONLY GOING TO LEAD TO MORE HEAT LEADING INTO TERRITORIAL INVASION!
Jake Mercer: HERE COMES THE OFFICIALS! LOOKING TO RESTORE SOME FORM OF ORDER IN THIS ONE AND WHILE THAT MIGHT PROVE TO BE A CHALLENGE THEY’RE SURELY GOING TO FAN THE FLAMES RIGHT NOW IN WHAT HAS BEEN OUT OF CONTROL! ORDER WILL BE RESTORED DAMMIT!
Stew-O: BUT WHILE THAT HAPPENS I’M AFRAID THAT’S ALL WE HAVE FOR YOU TONIGHT! WHAT A GO-HOME SHOW FOLKS AND WHAT AN ENDING TO WHAT’S BEEN A JAM-PACKED SHOW UP AND DOWN! ONCE AGAIN I’M STEW-O, AND ALONG WITH MY PARTNERS FLANNERY MCCOY AND JAKE MERCER, WE SAY HAVE A HAPPY TERRITORIAL INVASION WEEK AS WE SIGN OUT!
(Security is seeming to break apart the brawl, but it is still alive and well which is what Dynasty is left off on for the time being. It’s the last shot seen before the camera then completely fades to black from there with Friday Night Dynasty closing with that amazing shot.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
