Dynasty

(EAW intro plays.)

(Friday Nigt Dynasty intro plays. A recap of last week’s show plays, catching viewers up to speed with everything that occurred last show. Once that montage ends, the show comes back to a live shot of the Nippon Budokan Arena in Tokyo, Japan. It transitions inside where the fans are seen, and the Japanese fans are all clapping and excited. It’s a sea of red even in Tokyo with many showing their loyalty to Dynasty. Pyro goes off on stage, and soon, we cut over to Stew-O, Jake Mercer, and Flannery McCoy, who are also dressed in all red for the occasion before Territorial Invasion.)

Stew-O: Well, this is it. The last stop before –

Jake Mercer: DYNASTY KILLS THE COMPETITION! WOOHOO! LET’S GO BABY! WAR GAMES! BRAND WARFARE! DIVIDE AND CONQUER! WHO’S STOPPING US!? NO ONE, THAT’S WHO!

Flannery McCoy: :mjlol: At least we can always count on you to show some brand spirit. Still, everyone, that just means Territorial Invasion is on the horizon, and the excitement couldn’t be more palpable.

Stew-O: Absolutely, and on that note, thank you for tuning in to Friday Night Dynasty! I’m Stew-O, and as always, I am joined by the ever-enthusiastic Jake Mercer, and Flannery McCoy!

(Friday Night Dynasty transitions away from the commentary desk and toward the stage, as the fans in attendance tonight are met with the displeasing sound of ‘360’ by Charli xcx, evoking a strong negative reaction from the crowd as they show their disdain for the person who is making his way out. The camera goes over to show EAW World Champion Jake Smith, member of Team Voltage, making his way out from the backstage area with the biggest smirk on his face. He’s soaking in the reaction that he is getting here, and making it known that he loves every second of it, before he makes his way to the ring.)

Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… he is the EAW WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!! JAKE SMITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: Well this is certainly something that we should have expected at some point. We’re getting a surprise reappearance of EAW World Champion Jake Smith to the Dynasty brand to kick off the show. As you may already know, Jake spent a majority of last Season here, fighting for the World Heavyweight Championship on multiple occasions and even going as far as winning the Grand Rampage match.

Flannery McCoy: But he was sent to Voltage after making it known that he would be going after Charlie Marr and not Myles, and since then he’s captured his second World Championship along with getting a Hall of Fame induction under his belt. Now that he wages war against this brand in War Games, it’s safe to say he’s here to push some propaganda that we’re not particularly interested in.

Jake Mercer: I for one welcome back my name twin, he’s been sorely missed! Not Bronson Daniels though, he’s been forced onto my screen the past couple of weeks, it’s truly been tragic, but hey I welcome Jake.

(Jake makes his way up the steps and onto the apron before entering into the ring. He then makes his way over and takes a microphone from the ringside area while ‘360’ then begins to come to a close from there. Then, making his way toward the center of the ring with a big smile, he begins to speak.)

Jake Smith: I’m glad to see all of you miss me!

(The crowd once again begins to boo, evoking hysterical laughter out of the Champion while he adjusts his title around his shoulder, before he continues to speak.)

Jake Smith: I don’t miss any of you though, it’s clear even now you people don’t appreciate me and my talents here on Dynasty, you never did. When I first returned from my injury I broke my back for this place, I fought for my life even though I was still shaking off ring rust after that idiot who will never be allowed back in this company anymore took critical time away from me. Even if I didn’t want to believe it myself, everything I did was for you, and for a long time that continued to be the case. Then I grew out of that, I grew out of serving you because I figured that was never my flow. I became the Jake Smith that we all know and love today and instead of giving me the damn respect that I deserve, you know what you did instead? You turned your back on me! Even after I went ahead and I won the Grand Rampage match and put this damn place on the map, you still decided that you hated me and that makes me sick. I don’t know what it’s going to take at this point, but then again, at this point it’s not like it really matters anymore. I don’t cater to Friday Night Dynasty anymore, I don’t cater to racists like Kensingten Calhoun-Astor and Richard Grant who have continued to be at the forefront of this brand and nobody has said a damn thing about it! I carved my own path and it has made me larger than life, it has made me better than not just everyone in the back here on Dynasty, but Dynasty in its ENTIRETY!

(The crowd boos loudly, but Jake doesn’t really give a fuck.)

Jake Smith: I’m that damn good, and I’ve earned the right to say this and absolutely NOBODY is going to take this away from me, ESPECIALLY the likes of New Eden.

(The crowd cheers for this instead, which perplexes Jake for the moment as he looks around. Before long he rolls his eyes as he continues to speak.)

Jake Smith: What? We actually like them now just because they’re fighting for Dynasty? Well guess what? I’m back on Dynasty and I say FUCK NEW EDEN! I apologize for being out of the loop, after being stuck in a pointless power struggle for so long with the likes of Methuselah and the man that he has on a chain Captain Charisma, you start to lose your sanity and ultimately block out everything else around here. I haven’t gotten the chance to mention the competition that I am going to be facing and that is the two other brands, one that I am on right now. For one, fuck Saturday Night Showdown, not just for the pussy shit that they did on Voltage, but for leaving a talent like myself behind and packing him up after I did EVERYTHING for that place with my Answers World Championship reign. Two, fuck New Eden because nobody gave a fuck about them in the first place and that certainly doesn’t change now that they’re on their little nostalgia run now.

(Jake paces around, clearly unhappy about this, he doesn’t like New Eden, but nobody likes him so it kind of evens out.)

Jake Smith: I have history with those three, and it’s not very pleasant. I’ve been on the receiving end of a lot of beatdowns pertaining to them when I was originally on the Voltage brand, and I was more than happy to see them implode right before my eyes on that fateful day. I expected to be done with it, but now they’re back together. While many people fear the idea of that, and they don’t expect anything less than domination as they already have done in a War Games situation in the past, things have changed. New Eden as a whole is weaker than ever, both in a respective and collective manner. But myself on the other hand? Well I’m stronger than ever. I’m at the very top of the world and the proof is right around my shoulder. Things have completely shifted, and I’m going to make sure, once and for all, that I’m the one that puts the nail in the coffin and does EVERYONE a favor, making sure that we never see this godforsaken group and we put an end to this.

(Jake stares into the hard camera, a very serious expression on his face as the crowd continues to show absolutely zero remorse for him. But before long, he’s interrupted…)

???: I’m sorry… *who’s* saying this?

(The crowd cheers knowing where the voice is coming from, as Jake turns around to see the collective trio of New Eden make their way out to the stage. Drake King, EAW World Heavyweight Champion Myles, and Minerva all stand united with microphones in their hands. They then begin to make their way down the ramp toward Jake Smith.)

Stew-O: There have been doubts whether or not New Eden is going to end up standing on a united front on Friday Night Dynasty, and even though it’s clear that the common denominator here in all their problems is one Drake King, all of them know the stakes and how much it would benefit them to put their qualms aside. Even then, if there’s one thing they can stand together on, it’s the fact that Jake Smith needs to shut up.

Jake Mercer: Language, Stew! Certainly you don’t feel that way yourself, right???

Stew-O: :mjpls:

Flannery McCoy: Well regardless this is certainly an… interesting… situation, especially considering that Jake made a very Jake Smith decision and decided to come out here by himself. I don’t know if he thinks that he’s going to pick a fight with New Eden or even expect to get out of this scot free, all I know is that the odds are clearly stacked against him tonight and I think these three are going to make that known.

(New Eden reaches the bottom of the ramp, with each member making sure to surround the ring and trap Jake inside of it. Jake is not intimidated by this, laughing it off as he looks around, practically begging them to enter.)

Drake King: The last thing I need to do heading into Territorial Invasion is concern myself with the likes of you, Jake. But it seems you want to inject yourself into every situation because you push this belief that you “matter”. That anybody in the entire world cares about you, when in reality nobody does. Let me make one thing clear, Jake, I don’t like you. I never have. You’re an incoherent idiot who should have never held that EAW World Championship in the first place, not just because of how much it means to this place, but because of the fact that you are degrading the prestige that myself and the rest of NEw Eden have brought to it.

(Drake climbs up onto the apron, a serious expression on his face as Jake turns toward him. He mouths words off mic, but Drake doesn’t seem very fazed by it.)

Drake King: Try as you may, but even the thought of you beating us is one big joke in itself, just like you. Your knowledge gaps are proof of that when you say that New Eden is “weak”. As long as God is living and breathing, as long as Myles is still World Heavyweight Champion, as long as Minerva is still a Hall of Famer, we will never be “weak”. I may disagree with the two of them, but I’m wise enough to give credit where credit is due, and devalue any claims from people who may believe otherwise just because they’re “better” than us. You could say that we’re stronger than ever, because while New Eden reforming is everyone’s greatest fears, the last thing you want is a New Eden on the same page, because you especially know what that means for the likes of you.

(Jake is practically fuming at this point, being reminded of everything that the trio put him through. But as he looks to speak, someone interjects.)

Minerva: Besides, you don’t really think that you’re going to fight the three of us all by yourself, right? You’re a fool, but certainly not that much of one, correct?

Myles: Where’s the rest of them-

Jake Smith: You want to know where the rest of them are?! NOT HERE! FUCK THEM! FUCK BEA VALENTINE! FUCK MICHAEL MACHINA! FUCK ALL OF THEM!

(The crowd goes to a hush as they hear Jake shout with fury in his voice, New Eden all looking amongst themselves and clearly amused by this.)

Myles: Well, you know the last time that you tried to fight us by yourself. You were desecrated and humiliated. I really don’t think you’re making the right decision right now.

Jake Smith: Well I could give less of a damn what happened in the past. I remember everything, just like Drake said, you three terrorized me when I was first on the Voltage brand. From the Grand Rampage match that you STOLE from me, to the Extreme Elimination Chamber where you used your numbers against me, I did everything in my power to make sure that you were put to an end but you were some stubborn ass motherfuckers. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this moment??? You think that I’m going to share this satisfaction with anyone else??? FUCK THAT! I’m ending New Eden, and it’s going to come at my hands and absolutely nobody else’s.

Drake King: Do we really have to get into the specifics of this, Jake? Is that really something that you want to do?

Jake Smith: Enlighten me.

Drake King: Every single time you’ve faced me, you’ve lost.

Myles: That Extreme Elimination Chamber you mentioned wasn’t the last time, because certainly you remember what happened last year at Road To Redemption, when I beat you in the Chamber to win the World Heavyweight Championship?

Minerva: I certainly don’t need to flaunt my victories over you, but just know that everytime we’ve faced as well it hasn’t panned out in your favor. You’re an unfortunate cautionary tale, Jake. It’s a shame it had to come to this, but you decided to press the matter, and now here you are, all by yourself. That’s certainly not what you want.

(At this point it’s clear by the look on the face of Jake Smith, he’s just about had enough.)

Stew-O: JAKE JUST RUSHED TOWARD MINERVA AND KNOCKED HER OFF THE APRON WITH A FOREARM STRIKE TO THE FACE! MYLES TRIES TO ENTER THE RING, BUT JAKE SPINS AROUND AND LEAPS AT HIM WITH A BICYCLE KICK TO THE FACE TO STOP HIM MOMENTARILY! THAT LEAVES DRAKE KING WHO RUSHES AT HIM AND TRIES TO STRIKE HIM- BUT JAKE DUCKS UNDER THAT BEFORE RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND BACK AND LEAPING INTO THE AIR WITH ANOTHER BICYCLE KICK!

Flannery McCoy: JAKE SMITH IS CLEARLY AT HIS WITS END BUT IT’S CAUSED HIM TO MAKE AN UNFAVORABLE DECISION, BECAUSE HE’S TRYING TO ATTACK THREE HALL OF FAMERS ALL BY HIMSELF AND I DON’T THINK THAT’S PANNING OUT! NEW EDEN IS GETTING UP AND ABOUT TO MAKE THEIR WAY BACK INTO THE RING-

(Suddenly, the crowd roars in a loud reaction.)

Jake Mercer: BUT LOOK WHO’S STORMING OUT TO EVEN THE ODDS! MICHAEL MACHINA AND BEA VALENTINE! THE REST OF TEAM VOLTAGE IS HEADING OUT AND THEY’RE MAKING A BEELINE TOWARD NEW EDEN-

Jake Smith: (Off-Mic) NO! NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT!

(New Eden freezes as they look at the impending situation inside the ring. Jake has stormed toward the edge of the ring and he’s shouting at Bea and Machina.)

Jake Smith: BACK THE FUCK UP! GET OUT OF HERE! I DON’T WANT YOUR HELP! AND I NEVER NEEDED IT!

(Bea and Machina look toward one another as Jake shouts this at them, and it’s clear they’re equally annoyed about this situation as well as they shrug their shoulders.)

Stew-O: They… they stopped! They’re listening to Jake! They’re not going to help him, I think they’re intending to leave him to rot!

(Jake smirks as he gives a thumbs up to the two of them, as he then proceeds to turn around…)

Flannery McCoy: MINERVA LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH ‘THE DEVIL’S TOUCH’! SUPERKICK TO THE JAW OF JAKE DROPS HIM DOWN TO A KNEELING POSITION, AND IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE THEY’RE DONE…

Jake Mercer: AS MYLES RUSHES TO THE ROPES AND BACK AND CONNECTS WITH THE ‘DRACO METEOR’! DOUBLE KNEES TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD WHICH DROPS JAKE DOWN TO THE GROUND! HE’S STRUGGLING TO GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET, TRYING HIS BEST TO PUT UP A FIGHT…

Stew-O: BUT LOOK! DRAKE KING IS RALLYING THE CROWD AS HE FALLS BACK AGAINST ONE OF THE CORNERS! HE THEN RUSHES FORWARD…

Flannery McCoy: ‘JUDGMENT DAY’ TO JAKE-

Jake Mercer: ‘MICKEY I KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF’! GODDAMMIT!

Stew-O: SWINGING BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE OF DRAKE KING DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! SHADES OF VOLTAGE, BRONSON DANIELS IS HERE AND THE REST OF TEAM SHOWDOWN SLIDE INTO THE RING AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE NUMBERS THAT THEY HAVE RIGHT NOW! MYLES AND MINERVA ARE TRYING TO FIGHT BACK, BUT MILLI BANKS AND VEENA ADAMS HAVE A HOLD OF BOTH OF THEM AND ARE BEGINNING TO BEAT THEM DOWN, WITH BRONSON QUICK TO JOIN IN AS WELL!

Flannery McCoy: TEAM SHOWDOWN ARE BEGINNING TO BEAT DOWN MYLES AND MINERVA RIGHT NOW, MEANWHILE JAKE AND DRAKE ARE COMPLETELY OUT AT THE CENTER OF THE RING! BOTH ARE TRYING THEIR BEST TO FIGHT BACK RIGHT NOW BUT IT’S CLEAR THAT THERE’S ONLY SO MUCH THEY CAN DO!

(Just as Michael Machina and Bea Valentine are about to leave, they look back and they see the problem they have at hand right now. They eye one another, realizing this is so much more than the likes of Jake Smith…)

Jake Mercer: BUT LOOK WHO’S SPRINTING DOWN NOW! THE REST OF TEAM VOLTAGE LOOKING TO HANDLE THE BRAWL GOING ON! MYLES AND MINERVA ARE DOWN AS TEAM SHOWDOWN TAKE A STEP BACK-

Stew-O: WHICH LURES MILLI BANKS RIGHT INTO A ‘BULLET FROM HELL’ BY MACHINA! MEANWHILE BRONSON DANIELS TURNS AROUND TO A ‘BEA STING’ BY BEA WHICH TAKES HIM DOWN!

Flannery McCoy: VEENA REALIZES THIS AND IS QUICK TO TRY AND ATTACK MACHINA, BUT BEA TURNS HER AROUND AND NAILS HER WITH A FOREARM STRIKE TO THE FACE! THAT TURNS HER AROUND WITH MACHINA CONNECTING WITH THE ‘MONEY SHOT’ CLOTHESLINE TO HER FACE!

Jake Mercer: BEA THEN GRABS HER AND PICKS HER UP, THEN PROCEEDING TO SEND HER TO THE ROPES AND BACK…

Stew-O: AS SHE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH THE ‘BEA TRIGGER’ WHICH TAKES VEENA DOWN! THE FIELD IS LAID OUT AND IT’S MICHAEL MACHINA AND BEA VALENTINE FROM TEAM VOLTAGE STANDING TALL!

(Machina and Bea take a step back toward the center of the ring, looking toward one another with smirks on their faces. But everything seems to have a happy ending until…)

Jake Smith: (Off-Mic) https://media1.tenor.com/m/AICKxWpTWE8AAAAC/jayson-tatum-we-did-it.gif

(Jake Smith stumbles into the scene, still hurt after the jumping by New Eden, but clearly taking credit for laying out the field right now. He puts his arms around Machina and Bea, both of whom look clearly disgusted by this right now.)

Jake Smith: (Off-Mic) Good job… ME! I beat the forces of evil! I alone am the GREATEST ELITIST THAT THIS COMPANY HAS EVER SEEN-

Flannery McCoy: OH! LOW BLOW BY BEA VALENTINE!

Jake Mercer: BEFORE SHE GRABS HIM AND SENDS HIM THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING!

(Bea steps backward and looks at Machina, shrugging her shoulders.)

Bea Valentine: (Off-Mic) Oops, my bad, forgot he’s on the team.

(Machina chuckles before patting her on the head.)

Michael Machina: (Off-Mic) Eh, you did the right thing.

(Bea smiles as the last shot seen is two-thirds of Team Voltage standing tall while Friday Night Dynasty, from there, begins to fade out to elsewhere.)

(A commercial plays for Territorial Invasion, with New Eden taking on Team Showdown and Team Voltage.)

 

Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!

Stephie Love: And the winner of this match will get the last spot for Team Dynasty and Voltage in the Divide & Conquer match!

(‘Notorious’ by UPSAHL hits the PA speakers and Mia Santoro makes her way through the crowd, tagging fans. She signs a couple of autographs and moves through, making her way over to the barricade. She hops over and slides into the ring, taking the ropes and climbing up top.)

Stephie Love: Introducing first, weighing in at 115 pounds, from Key West, Florida… SHE IS “LA DESPERADA”, MIA SANTORO!

Stew-O: This is certainly a high stakes opportunity for Mia Santoro, and it also allows her to get back on track and settle the score with Saori Aizen! Will she be able to capitalize?

Flannery McCoy: No telling what will happen tonight, but Mia is certainly looking to put herself back on the map after failing to come up short at Reckless Wiring last month, and being part of Territorial Invasion is the platform Mia is after right now.)

(Mia’s theme is replaced by ‘Let Me Hear’ by Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas and Saori Aizen walks out from the back, lights strobing black and white. Saori marches down the ramp, her eyes set on Mia. She runs up the steps and enters the ring, climbing onto the ropes and extending her arms out, before dropping down and staring daggers at her opponent.)

Stephie Love: Her opponent, weighing in at 120 pounds, from Tokyo, Japan… SAORI! AIZEN!

Jake Mercer: However! She hasn’t done herself any favors drawing the ire of Saori Aizen. These two haven’t been able to get along at all in the past couple of weeks and it culminates tonight. Both women certainly have had minor setbacks recently thanks to one another, so a win may be extremely beneficial for them.

Flannery McCoy: That goes without saying. Saori has surely impressed on Dynasty since getting here, but I am sure that Mia wants to derail her hype train further– which means Aizen needs to be extremely focused.

(DING DING DING!)

Jake Mercer: Both women circle around the ring and after their tensions over the weeks, it all comes to a head here. Saori and Mia snap into a collar and elbow tie-up, and Mia spins into a hammerlock. Saori spins around, taking the waist and trying for an early O’Connor Roll, but Mia holds on!

Stew-O: Saori backrolls off of impact and Mia turns, charging back in. Saori rises up to her feet and takes Mia down with a swift headlock takeover! Mia reaches out, gasping for air. Saori wrenches the headlock in tight, and Mia clearly has nowhere else to go.

Flannery McCoy: Mia elevates her legs off the canvas, wrapping them around her head for a headscissors. Saori winces out, rolling over. She places her hands onto Mia’s knees and slowly pries her head out.

Jake Mercer: She tries to jump into another headlock, but Mia slips out of the way! Saori skids to her knee and rises up. Mia meets her with a forearm strike, and then a knife edge chop. She chops her again! She takes Saori by the wrist, but Saori swats her hand down!

Stew-O: Then she meets her with an elbow to the side of the head! Mia wobbles and Saori hits off the ropes, and Mia swings for her – but Saori ducks under! Saori dropkicks her in the chest, and Mia goes down, skidding backwards.

Flannery McCoy: Mia takes the ropes and leans against them, and Saori tries to send her over, but Mia pulls the ropes down! Saori lands onto the apron and tries to springboard up, but Mia swats her legs out – forcing Saori to fall back into the ring onto her back!

Stew-O: Saori clutches her back, wincing. Mia drags her up and hooks her arms around the waist, lifting her up for a Saito Suplex! Nasty landing right on the back of her head! Mia hooks the legs!

Referee: OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Flannery McCoy: Saori elevates her shoulder off the canvas! Mia shakes her head, wasting no time. Mia drags Saori up and drills her with an european uppercut! Saori wobbles and Mia hits off the ropes…

Jake Mercer: But Saori clutches her by the wrist and yanks her into a short-arm lariat! She takes Mia by the arm and rolls her onto her stomach, dropping into a Wristlock STF! Mia yells out, her arm wrapped around her throat!

Flannery McCoy: That STF is in tight, and you add in the wrist control and Mia Santoro is absolutely struggling right now! She’s only got one arm and it’s being used against her! Saori yells out, trying to choke Mia out!

Stew-O: She’s sprawling her entire body out, reaching for the ropes! Mia plants her hand onto the mat, beginning to scoot towards the ropes! Saori realizes this and she tries to pull back– but the lack of grip in the hold allows Mia to put her leg on the bottom rope!

Jake Mercer: Saori releases the hold before the referee has to intervene and she shakes her head. Mia leans on the apron, coughing out. Saori rises to her feet and reaches over the ropes, but Mia yanks her down with a hotshot!

Flannery McCoy: She falls back, coughing out. Mia shakes out her arm, stumbling up. She begins to climb the top rope, awaiting Saori’s rise… DIVING METEORA FROM MIA! SHE HOOKS SAORI’S LEGS FOR THE COVER!

Referee: OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Stew-O: Kick out from Saori! Mia rolls away, holding her knees in pain. Saori rolls away, coughing out. Mia slowly rises to her feet, hitting off the ropes for a big time basement dropkick that floors Saori! Mia slides out, dragging her up.

Jake Mercer: Mia takes her by the wrist, revving back for an irish whip into the steps! Saori leaps up the steps! And she jumps back into that Tornado DDT! She spikes Mia’s head into the canvas!

Flannery McCoy: BEAUTIFUL TORNADO DDT! Saori drags Mia up, and throws her into the ring! Saori leaps onto the apron, waiting for Mia to rise…

Stew-O: SAORI SPRINGBOARDS UP! AND SHE GETS HER WITH THAT SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK THIS TIME! Saori crawls over, hooking the legs for a cover!

Referee: OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Jake Mercer: But Mia kicks out! Saori drags her up, and nails her with a throat thrust! She nails her with another! And then a spinning backfist–

Stew-O: Mia ducks it and holds onto the waist! She lifts her up for a back suplex but Saori lands it! Mia turns back and Saori swings– Mia holds onto her and lifts her up for an exploder suplex!

Flannery McCoy: Saori is laid out, and Mia rises to her feet, looking down at her. Mia wastes no time, pulling Saori back up. She takes her by the head and lifts her for a snap suplex!

Jake Mercer: A loud yell of agony from Saori and she rolls over, clutching at her back. She rolls to the corner. Saori sits up, and Mia claps her hands, hitting the turnbuckles. She charges into a dropkick–

Stew-O: A SPIN KICK FROM OUT OF NOWHERE BY SAORI AIZEN! MIA DOESN’T GO DOWN JUST YET, AND SAORI SWINGS A ROUNDHOUSE KICK PUTS MIA DOWN!

Flannery McCoy: She rolls over, holding her head in pain. Saori drags her up, hooking her arms. She hoists her up, for a bridging tiger suplex!

Referee: OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Jake Mercer: KICK OUT FROM MIA! Saori falls back, slapping the mat. Mia tries to get up, but she staggers against the turnbuckles. Saori pulls her out of the corner, jamming her head into her thighs! She double underhooks the arms, calling for what COULD be the end!

Stew-O: SAORI TRIES FOR THE ‘HYOKINDAMA!’ BUT SHE CAN’T COMPLETE THE ROTATION FOR THE TIGER DRIVER! A BACK BODY DROP FROM MIA SANTORO INSTEAD!

Flannery McCoy: BUT SAORI FINDS A WAY TO ABSORB THE IMPACT! She tries to pull the legs down for a sunset flip, but Mia rolls backwards to evade it!

Jake Mercer: Now it’s both women scrambling up to their feet, BUT MIA FRONTROLLS INTO A ROLLING THUNDER DROPKICK! LANDS FLUSH ON THE JAW OF SAORI AIZEN AND SHE IS DOWN!

Flannery McCoy: Mia is feeling it! She rises up to her feet and drags Saori up along with her. She hooks the head and the leg, ‘BLACKEST HOUR!’ THE SWINGING FISHERMAN’S NECKBREAKER DRILLS SAORI!

Jake Mercer: She just got spiked onto her neck! I’d be surprised if Saori is showing signs of life after that! Mia scrambles to the cover, hooking the legs!

Referee: OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

 

Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

 

Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE–

Flannery McCoy: NOOOOOOO!! SAORI RAISES HER SHOULDER UP! For a second I thought that was it! But the fight in Aizen being shown right now!

Jake Mercer: Mia slowly rises, pulling Saori up… She throws clubbing blows to the jaw, trying to wrap this one up. Mia shoves Saori back to the ropes! SUPERKICK TO THE KNEE! AND SHE WANTS THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO COMPLETE THE ‘TWO FOR THE ROAD!”

Stew-O: Saori scoots back just in time! Mia throws it with her other leg, but this time Saori catches her leg and trips her onto her face! Saori slowly rises, using Mia’s leg to aid herself up… THEN SHE LEAPS INTO A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!

Flannery McCoy: VICIOUS! Saori takes Mia by the wrist and rolls her to her knees, and she yells out! ‘MIRROR FLOWER, WATER MOON!’ THE WRIST CLUTCH KNEE STRIKE TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! MIA CRUMBLES TO THE CANVAS! AND SAORI FALLS INTO THE COVER!

Referee: OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

 

Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

 

Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE–

Stew-O: KICK OUT FROM SANTORO! BUT SAORI CLEARLY SEEMS UNBOTHERED! SHE RISES UP, STEPPING OVER MIA! SHE APPROACHES THE ROPES AND BEGINS CLIMBING UP TOP…

Jake Mercer: She CLEARLY wants that moonsault! And given how Mia is still trying to recover, she may get it here! Saori presses her hand onto the post, nodding out! ‘HORIZON OF THE CAPTIVATING–’

Flannery McCoy: SKAANNNDDD—NOOOOO! MIA ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! SAORI LANDS ONTO HER FEET, ROLLING BACKWARDS! She holds at her ankle and Mia stalks her up, DIVING INTO A CUTTER!

Jake Mercer: The impact of the cutter bounces Saori’s body off the canvas and up to her feet! Mia rises up and hits off the ropes, with no hesitation! ‘KILLING MOOON!’ THE ROLLING WHEEL KICK FOLDS SAORI!

Flannery McCoy: Big opportunity on the way for Mia Santoro! She crawls over, and gets on top of Saori, hooking the legs for the cover!

Referee: OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

 

Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

 

Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE–

Jake Mercer: SAORI KICKS OUT! Mia falls back, running her hands through her hair! What will it take for either of these women to go down?! I honestly have no idea!

Stew-O: Clearly Mia is upset by it! She steps out of the ring, trying to ascend to the top rope… But she sees Saori rolling away!

Flannery McCoy: I think Mia is considering taking her chances! If she can get up there and clear the distance, that’ll certainly be more damage to Saori… Mia begins to stand on the top rope–

Jake Mercer: SAORI RISES AND LAUNCHES HERSELF INTO AN ELBOW! Mia falls into a seated position, dazed. Saori starts to climb up, throwing shots to Mia’s head. Mia tries to cover up but she can’t.

Flannery McCoy: Saori pulls Mia up along with her… SPANISH FLY OFF THE TOP ROPE!!! BOTH WOMEN GO CRASHING DOWN INTO THE CANVAS! MIA IS LYING IN AGONY!

Stew-O: And Saori is doing all she can to rise up! Mia is still down and she staggers to the ropes, slowly climbing up… Saori takes time, still reeling from that Spanish Fly… BUT SHE DIVES OFF THE TOP! ‘HORIZON OF THE CAPTIVATING SKANDHA!’ THE DIVING MOONSAULT DRILLS MIA! HOOKS THE LEGS!

Referee: OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

 

Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

 

Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

(DING DING DING!)

Stephie Love: Here is your winner of this match, and joining Team Dynasty & Voltage in the Divide and Conquer match… SAORI! AIIZZENNN!

(Saori rolls off of Mia, holding her ribs. The referee helps her up and raises her arm up. Saori nods, looking down at Mia, happy to have gotten the win and now be moving on to Territorial Invasion. She steps out of the ring, taking a victory walk to the back.)

Jake Mercer: Saori Aizen gets it done tonight! A heated battle, both women wanted that opportunity but it was Saori who stepped up and took it for herself!

Flannery McCoy: Gotta give credit where credit is due. A strong effort from Mia Santoro, but Saori took advantage of a timely mistake and made it a big moment for herself.

Stew-O: Both of these women were both great options to represent Dynasty, but I know for sure that Saori may go on to play a big role in that Divide and Conquer match at Territorial Invasion!

(As Dynasty is locked into the middle of the ring Saori Aizen stood there as she was officially the final member of Team Dynasty and the alliance with Voltage. Everything is boiling up perfectly in her favor. She sat on a mountain of pride, but that expression would swiftly change as she looked towards the ramp. Someone made his way down to the ring, Isaac Crowe. He climbed into the ring, as he nodded his head with a sense of approval. One that kind of confused Saori Aizen even more..)

Isaac Crowe: I just wanted to be the first one to tell you Saori, welcome to the team. You were the latest addition, but you proved that you had what it took in a winning environment nonetheless.

(That idea of approval really confused Saori Aizen, as she raised her eyebrow.)

Saori Aizen: I would say thank you but.. why are you really giving me this? I didn’t come out here to celebrate with you. I hope you know this too, as you can read it in my facial expressions. I would much rather be in a situation where I can thrive on my own, after all the nonsense that has recently happened. But if you want me to be honest, I only truly gunned for this match out of the ambition that I could defeat Mia Santoro. And to fulfill my promise of having a big win under my belt.

Isaac Crowe: That is good for you, Saori. I understand that you only wanted a brief period of mention, but look —

(Suddenly Saori cut Isaac off as she was far from finishing her monologue.)

Saori Aizen: Look, I am sorry. But I never knew when it was my turn to stop talking. But I can tell you one thing, with this match on the horizon you have no other choice but to be at your very best. Or else, you are going to pay for it, understood?

Isaac Crowe: There is no question about it, I am going to perform to the greatest extent of my talent.. I am going to give the best of my abilities, and it’s going to be an experience for our team to thrive under.

Saori: You really like to portray yourself as a leader, huh? Is this how we are going to go about things?????

Isaac Crowe: I try my absolute hardest to stand here in this ring and just be a reassuring teammate. It unfortunately seems as if that rubs you the wrong way, and I apologize. The only thing coursing through my head is a victory at Territorial Invasion. Nothing more, and nothing less.

Saori Aizen: I don’t bleed team spirit, I am in this solely for my own gain.

(As Saori said that, she showed that she was not a singular bit impressed. But then something happened that certainly got Saori and Isaac off their feet.)

Michael Scott Connor: It seems as if we haven’t truthfully become acquainted yet..!

(Voltage’s half of the team can be seen entering different parts of the arena. But currently leading that charge was none other than Mr. Michael Scott Connor himself! Zane Grae and Selina Reyes stood near Scotty as well. Whilst there was only a grin on Michael Scott Connor’s face, as he nodded his head.)

Michael Scott Connor: You know, what I see standing before me in the ring right now is two very tough competitors. Two that have earned their spot in Divide and Conquer. And yeah, there are probably some scary thoughts circling through your heads at this moment in time. Why would specifically emerge from out of nowhere? Well, We are ready for the game and set. We sat back there with the biggest smiles across our faces. And yeah. We are heavily impressed with what is being given out. I will give you all your respective credit. Isaac you have shown maturity and growth as you have been one hell of a running partner for this match..! And Saori there isn’t much to really say. You just won by inserting yourself into the match via a victory. You are already all sorts of kickass! We are all polarizing personalities in this game. And that is okay, because we are taking the bull by the horns. Just because we come from differing shows doesn’t mean this isn’t an alliance that can’t thrive to the fullest. We are all going to get something out of this, and this only happens if we win Divide And Conquer. So.. are we all on the same page?

(Michael Scott Connor turned his attention to Zane Grae, who nodded his head.)

Zane Grae: (Off Mic) I am following you in whatever direction big man. You know the way!

(Scotty nodded, as he turned to Selina Reyes now.)

Selina Reyes: (Off Mic) For the glorified benefit of what comes from winning this match, I am ready.

(Scotty nodded, as he turned to Isaac Crowe now..)

Isaac Crowe: I am more than ready to step into the fray, this one means a lot to me. I am by your guys’ side..

(Scotty almost had everyone locked and loaded, as he looked at Saori.)

Michael Scott Connor: And you Saori, can you put being a lone wolf aside just for one match, so we can send the memo to Showdown??

Saori Aizen: Yes.. we all have a lot to gain from this, and you can fully count me in.

Michael Scott Connor: Now we are all playing by the rules, and we all understand the assignment. Good luck in your last week of preparation!

(Everyone was on the same page, and this duo of a team looked scary.)

Stew-O: We really have some interesting dynamics on this team. And how they will mesh in that ring is still to be determined, but it surely is interesting.

Flannery McCoy: Without a fraction of a doubt, this is an interesting pillage to post. We can either see this team flourish, or crumble before our very eyes.

Jake Mercer: But if every party is loaded in, I don’t think there is a single fear nor doubt shredded in there.

(With that target knocked, Dynasty would hit commercial and go elsewhere.)

(A commercial plays for Territorial Invasion, featuring the Divide and Conquer match.)

(As Dynasty comes back on air “the leaving song” Pt II blared through the speakers. A motivated and determined Hans Grayson quickly made his way onto the stage. The Interwire Champion swiftly made his way to the ring, as he lacked that break in focus.)

Stew-O: You can read this one directly on his face. Pouring with nothing but determination, Hans Grayson is a dedicated man to his craft. And he has to take a step into that madness, as he ascends forth his title match with Kirk Redwood.

Flannery McCoy: Kirk Redwood called his shot what felt like an entirety ago against Hans Grayson! But now it’s only some time to go now. And I am sure there is a typical feeling within Hans..

Jake Mercer: Hans knows that win or lose this one, the idea of his title reign changes forever. Pressure is real and it’s quick.

(As he enters the ring. Hans slowly paces around with his title slowly coming off his waist. As his theme song dies out fully, he stands there holding his title up at the hardcam.)

Hans Grayson: Everything that has happened to this point these last couple of weeks, has all been leading up to this. And it has been all for this; the Interwire Championship. I can recap the events, but Kirk Redwood called me out before I was even finished with Shinzo. He did not give a damn, he was soaring with an unknown sense of determination, that even I struggle to fully comprehend. He has been involved in a plethora of my matches, if he isn’t watching closely at ringside, he is in my corner as my tag partner. It has been all about Hans Grayson and Kirk Redwood these last couple of months.. And, well? I have recently done some thinking and I realize; when people challenge me for my title, they seem to view me as a pawn. I am this expendable Elitist that is only good in the moment that I am given, and I have no other choice but to step aside for their own aspirations. They are entitled to do whatever they want, and while; yeah. That is good for them and whatnot, it sure as hell is not moving any needles for me..!

(Hans Grayson paced around the ring with that shrug of the shoulders.)

Hans Grayson: I am happy to be able to go ahead and just put that one to bed next week. Because after Territorial Invasion, the people who perceive me as this nice guy, and the people who perceive me as only this nice guy, who is gonna step aside for others benefit. I think I have to start putting my foot down a whole ton more. I think I gotta be a little selfish in my technique, and while that may be unfortunate for them — this is valuable for me. I am putting myself ahead of the pack, and what people are blinded by when it comes to the idea of these materialistic goals; you’re not only chasing the Interwire Championship. You are chasing Hans Grayson. And when you chase Hans Grayson, you are doing everything you can to knock me off my post. But I am going to fight back, I am not gonna give you that opportunity for victory. And furthermore with that—

???: It really doesn’t matter, Hans!

(Just then, Hans Grayson’s head would turn towards the ramp as he was interrupted. Kirk Redwood walked down the ramp with not a second to waste on the suspense and melodrama.)

Stew-O: Uh oh, here comes Kirk Redwood, and he is quick to cut Hans Grayson off!

Flannery McCoy: No aesthetic or anything to boil about, Kirk Redwood is all focused and all genuine right now!

Jake Mercer: He isn’t playing around, and how will he attest to some of the things Hans Grayson said, is my question?

(Kirk Redwood made his way down, he walked up the steps. He stood there for a moment on the apron looking at Hans.)

Kirk Redwood: It really doesn’t matter Hans Grayson. Just beating you in the grand scheme of things was never something that puzzled me. When it came to me challenging for the gold at Reckless Wiring, I made it known I was coming after the winner. The idea of the champion was almost irrelevant to me and who it was. It didn’t matter if it was Shinzo. It didn’t matter if it were you, Hans. It isn’t any sort of personal vendetta. I don’t have anything against you — it’s business. And now we are going to play out that business.

(Kirk entered the ring as he stood there, he looked at Hans, with a nod from his head.)

Hans Grayson: It’s business in the regard that you have pushed everything pretty far and you fail to realize the problems you have truly created. But fortunately for me, and less fortunately for you. I will help you discover the error of those ways.

Kirk Redwood: Do you really think I haven’t heard this song and dance before, Hans? You wouldn’t get it. You have been blessed with fortune, I have been reaching for the straws. Trying to become a singles champion in EAW. I have done everything but yet have felt so far. But this is it. I am finally where I have always wanted to be. I am finally right there. My moment is going to be next week.

Hans Grayson: You have been looking for that moment, but you have been consumed by greed. Next week is just going to be your own words continuing to pile up and destroy you.

(With that remark stated, Hans Grayson drops the microphone, strutting past Kirk Redwood. Kirk stood there staring; BEFORE HE HIT HANS GRAYSON IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH HIS MICROPHONE! The surprise attack and the frustration was written on his face..)

Kirk Redwood: (Off Mic) You better watch your words carefully, say too much and I might take everything away from you.

(Haunting words from Kirk Redwood as he steps over Hans Grayson to leave the ring.)

Stew-O: There may be no one more determined than Kirk Redwood at Territorial Invasion as his goals are entirely locked in on the Interwire Championship.

Flannery McCoy: He is truly ready and determined, and this is a story of immense interest. He has been chasing that solo championship accolade for a long time now, is he finally on the cusp!?!?

Jake Mercer: He has to be careful in his own right, don’t put too much on one single establishment. It may chew you alive if you fail when backing your word up!

(With that stated, Dynasty would fade elsewhere with the final shot being a downed Hans Grayson in the ring.)

(Friday Night Dynasty’s video feed shifted backstage where Flannery McCoy is seated in the interviewer’s area; next to her are TWO interviewee seats, occupied by the recently reunited Fire and Ice, Raven Roberts and Rex McAllister!)

Flannery McCoy: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guests at this time… Raven Roberts and Rex McAllister, known collectively as FIRE AND ICE! It’s been quite a while since the EAW Universe has seen the two of you united as a tag team, but needless to say it was met with TONS of fan excitement when the reunion happened! Getting a title shot at the EAW Unified Tag Team Championships so soon after reuniting is certainly the ultimate test to see if Fire and Ice can stake their claim to being the top tag team today! What are your thoughts on the reunion and the impending title match against the seemingly indomitable Jaded Hearts at Territorial Invasion?

Raven Roberts: We told the EAW Universe exactly what we thought last week, and that has only solidified after Fire and Ice came together to defeat the Interwire Champion and his challenger. Any question about whether or not Rex and I are still able to work together as well as we once did should be thrown away, because any cobwebs that may have popped up were shaken off when we got the win last week with perfect teamwork. And what would anyone expect? We aren’t some random tag team thrown together to be broken apart in a month or two… we’re FIRE AND ICE.

Rex McAllister: Following up on Raven’s point, we have already proven in our legacy as a tag team that Fire and Ice can stand atop the tag team division. The two questions on everyone’s mind are whether or not we can do it again in 2024… and whether or not we can take down foes as formidable as the Jaded Hearts to make that statement. My opinion? I think Raven and I are perfectly capable of it.

Raven Roberts: That’s not to put down the capabilities of the Jaded Hearts, but more so a statement of the level Rex and I are at when we work together. I don’t think there’s another tag team on this roster that is as capable of toppling the Jaded Hearts as we are. Just looking at the facts, three out of the four elitists between our two teams are in the Hall of Fame… and I’m already well on my way to getting in. As a matter of fact, getting the tag team championships for a second time is just the type of accolade I’m looking for to solidify my resume to get into the Hall of Fame. We haven’t lost a match since we’ve gotten back together, and I don’t plan for that to stop at Territorial Invasion, either.

Flannery McCoy: It certainly seems like you two are confident! If you two do manage to win the match, how do you envision your reign panning out?

Rex McAllister: Fire and Ice’s time on top was one of the best times in my life as a wrestler; the competition we faced kept me on my toes. There’s nothing I would be more excited for than reigning as a tag team champion in this new generation, filled with young and hungry wrestlers looking to make a name for themselves. What could be better than not only showing that Fire and Ice are just as good as ever, but setting the standard once again for all the new teams in 2024 to aim for?

Raven Roberts: With that being said, it’s a standard we aim to make unbeatable. Because when Rex and I put our heads together, there’s nobody that can…

(Flannery, as well as Fire and Ice, stop talking as they look just out of frame. Kassidy Heart and Sienna Jade barge into the interviewer’s area with their championships slung over their shoulders and cocky smiles on their faces. Flannery looks nervously at them.)

Sienna Jade: Oh, no, don’t mind us! We’re just here for the interview! No need to stare and gawk like a bunch of brain-dead losers.

Kassidy Heart: Actually, we were enjoying the Fire and Ice interview so much that we figured we’d take part in it! I think I’d be a great interviewer, don’t you, Sienna?

Sienna Jade: Of course! Definitely better than Flannery over here!

Kassidy Heart: You’re right! Actually, why don’t we do Friday Night Dynasty a little favor and boost the ratings with the Jaded Hearts conducting the interview for their challengers? You can go ahead and leave now, Flannery, no more need for you here.

Flannery McCoy: Listen, I’m just trying to finish the-

Kassidy Heart: Wow, did I just hear backsass? I must be imagining things.

Sienna Jade: For Flannery’s sake, I hope you were.

Kassidy Heart: For the love of Gawd, it must have been my imagination, Flannery. Or maybe the CTE. Because if I ACTUALLY heard you doing anything other than obeying me the moment I told you to leave, well, that wouldn’t be good for your career! I wouldn’t want to give a call to Daddygawd, especially when he’s in a bad mood over that religious nutjob.

(Flannery hurriedly leaves without saying another word, leaving her interviewer’s chair open for Kassidy and Sienna to sit on the arms of the chair and cross their legs in perfect unison.)

Sienna Jade: Now we can really get to the interview! The fans at home want the hard hitting questions, not those softballs, after all. So, Rex, how excited are you to blow ANOTHER championship opportunity? Do you plan on showing the world a brand new way to screw up on the big stage?

Rex McAllister: …

(Rex just glares at the Jaded Hearts, unamused by the questions.)

Kassidy Heart: D’aww, the big, bad Lionheart doesn’t want to answer! How about I throw out a question to this bitch? Hey, Raven, don’t you think it would’ve been nice to have a child around this time? Imagine sending them off to school, watching them grow and blossom… as a matter of fact, why don’t you imagine a world where you WEREN’T an embarrassment to your family! Wouldn’t that be crazy?

Sienna Jade: Now, now, Kass; we’ve got to keep our questions realistic, don’t we? :mjlol:

Kassidy Heart: Oh yeah, my bad! :mjlol:

(Raven Roberts’ scowl deepened as it almost seemed like she was ready to lunge forward… but then, she just scoffed at the mind games.)

Sienna Jade: What, are you trying to act above it all? That’s pretty lame. I said keep it realistic, remember? You’re not above anything. Why don’t you tell the EAW Universe how you feel about the Jaded Hearts, the best tag team in the world and your SUPERIORS?

(Sienna obnoxiously shoved the microphone towards Rex’s face. Rex paused for a moment before responding.)

Rex McAllister: The Jaded Hearts are great… but they’re no Fire and Ice.

Stew-O: OH! Rex just grabbed Sienna’s wrist and pulled her into a right hook, just as Raven launched out of her seat and began lighting Kassidy Heart up with a flurry of ferocious strikes! This interview has completely fallen apart as the two historic tag teams are going at it against each other!

Jake Mercer: It looks like Raven and Kassidy’s brawl is spilling out in one direction while Rex and Sienna’s is going down the other direction!

Stew-O: Kassidy and Raven keep throwing heavy-handed blows at each other before Kassidy crouches and launches herself towards Raven, hoisting her up and throwing her onto the wall! They keep swapping positions as they try to take control of the situation, but neither of them are willing to give up all of the leverage!

Jake Mercer: They keep switching until Raven tackles Kassidy through some door in the hallway… and it turns out to be a supply closet! Raven lurches towards Kassidy in an attempt to spear her, but Kassidy moves out of the way and thrust kicks the Bird of Prey into the wall!

Stew-O: The impact from her landing against the wall is enough to knock one of the shelves loose, and one end of the shelf buckles from the pressure and falls to a lower position, leaving the shelf at an angle and everything on it begins falling… on top of Raven Roberts!

Jake Mercer: A pan just fell on her head! And then a pot! And that was… a rice cooker? Who the hell is storing all of this in the storage closet of an arena?!

Stew-O: Raven gets out of the way before the entire shelf’s contents fall on her; she gets up in a daze from all the objects falling on her head, allowing Kassidy to take advantage as she drags her out of the supply closet and continues brawling!

Jake Mercer: Meanwhile, Sienna and Rex seem to have made their way over to catering, and they seem just as intent on hurting each other as the other halves of their respective teams! Their brawl has spilled over to just beside one of the catering tables, where an open flame is heating what I believe to be chicken and rice for the members of the roster looking to stay healthy!

Stew-O: What CAN’T be healthy is Sienna trying to push Rex’s face into the fire, but Rex has the table gripped with both hands and he isn’t letting it happen! He breaks his head free from Sienna’s clutches before giving her a thrust kick to the gut and looking to throw her over the table on the other side!

Jake Mercer: But Sienna reverses it, instead Irish whipping Rex towards the table! The Lionheart’s reflexes are quicker than ever, though, as he practically does some parkour and leaps over the table without knocking anything over! Sienna quickly rushes over to where Rex is, looking to catch him off guard, but–

Sienna Jade: OH, YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! AGAIN?!

Stew-O: OH! Rex just grabbed a plate of ribs from the catering table and threw it at Sienna, and it landed right on her outfit!

Jake Mercer: SHADES OF LUCAS JOHNSON!

Stew-O: Sienna, looking more livid than ever, tries to launch a lariat to knock Rex’s head off, but REX RETALIATES IN THE SAME MANNER! HE JUST THREW A PIE IN SIENNA’S FACE!

Sienna Jade: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGH!

Jake Mercer: Oh, he’s done it now– yup, now Sienna’s leaped over the table and punching Rex as if he killed her family or something!

Stew-O: The brawl just keeps getting more and more out of hand… they’re starting to throw utensils at each other. OH MY GOD, THAT INCLUDES THE KNIVES! SOMEONE GET THEM OUT OF CATERING!

Jake Mercer: Wait, is that– OH! KASSIDY AND RAVEN’S BRAWL TOOK THEM AROUND TO CATERING FROM THE OTHER END, AND BOTH WOMEN ARE TRYING TO TEAR EACH OTHER APART!

Stew-O: KASSIDY JUST TRIED TO POWERBOMB RAVEN THROUGH THE TABLE, BUT RAVEN REVERSED IT INTO A HURRICANRANA… BOTH OF THEM BROKE THROUGH THE CATERING TABLE! ALL THAT FOOD IS GETTING THROWN TO THE FLOOR IN THE CHAOS!

Jake Mercer: Oh, come on, I really wanted to eat that! Sienna hopped onto Rex’s back and is pounding the roof of his head like a drum before he rams her into a wall! And Kassidy has crawled over the wreckage of the table to start punching it out with Raven on the ground! This has spiraled completely out of control!

Stew-O: Oh, thank god, here comes the security! They’re pulling the two teams off each other; there don’t seem to be any major injuries, but they’ve definitely done a number on each other in terms of cuts and bruises… not to mention god knows what food from catering thrown in every direction.

Jake Mercer: Needless to say, I don’t think these teams want to wait until Territorial Invasion, but now they’ll have to! Just a week until the reunited Fire and Ice go up against the Jaded Hearts!

Stew-O: And that’s sure to be one of the most competitive tag team matches we’ve seen in recent times! Tune in to Territorial Invasion to see it happen live! We’re gonna have to cut to commercials folks as the crew are doing everything they can to get this situation handled and under control!

(The video feed slowly fades as the two teams are dragged away from each other, despite them trying to break free and continue the brawl.)

(A commercial plays for Territorial Invasion, where the Jaded Hearts will be defending the EAW Unified Tag Team Championships against Fire & Ice.)

(Coming back to ringside, Talib Bari is seen inside the ring, ready to host tonight’s festivities. This time? It’s all about the women’s triple threat showcase at Territorial Invasion. The ring is outfitted with furniture and decor pieces, all of which are red, yellow and blue in color to represent the three brands the women will be competing for at the event. There is a wooden table right in the middle of the ring with four chairs surrounding it. Talib can be seen seated in one on the opposite side of the table, having a smile on his face.)

Talib Bari: TOKYO, WHAT’S GOOD!

(The fans react positively to Talib’s greeting, which makes him all the more happier.)

Talib Bari: Now that’s what I’m talking about. Now, I know y’all like to be a lil’ cutesy and a lil’ demure as a society and culture, but even y’all can’t deny being hyped about Territorial Invasion! It’s all about that brand supremacy baby, and you know how we do it here over on Dynasty. We constantly dominating. Constantly winning. I mean, who could forget how we SWEPT last year’s event, right? So there should be no doubts about who the A show was last season and for this one as well. All due respect to Showdown and Voltage. Y’all are cool. Y’all got your own stacked teams, but I’m afraid it’s about to be the same result regardless. At the very least though, the action boutta be hot and heavy. We got War Games, Brand Warfare, Divide and Conquer, and of course, the women’s triple theat showcase. That’s a match y’all definitely shouldn’t be sleeping on, ‘cause all three ladies have made it clear that they ain’t here to play, okay? They wanna win, and for the past few weeks, things have gotten a little caliente if you will, so you already know they’re gonna keep that same energy all week long until the match. :whew: I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what Diamond Dixon, Aria Lestraded and Holly Arrow got.

(Talib grins before continuing.)

Talib Bari: Speaking of which, I wanna kick things off right here with none other than the Seraph herself… give it up y’all for Dynasty’s own, HOOOOOLLLYYYY AAAARRROOOOOOOOOWWWW!!!

(‘Judas’ by Lady Gaga hits and the crowd erupts as Holly Arrow makes her entrance. She steps out onto the stage, confidence radiating from her as she soaks in the applause. Dressed in some light jeans and an orange turtleneck, she heads down to the ring where she wastes no time taking her seat. She nods and smiles at Talib in acknowledgement. As she settles down, her theme music fades.)

Holly Arrow: Good introduction there. You almost gave Stephie Love a run for her money.

(A brief shot of Stephie sitting is shown as she chuckles, along with some of the fans. Talib himself lets out a hearty laugh.)

Talib Bari: Aye, what can I say? Gotta make sure I give you your proper dues, you know? Especially when you are one of the best female Elitists on the roster —

Holly Arrow: And soon, one of the best Elitists in this company. End of.

Talib Bari: :notbad: !!

(The fans cheer, loving the unabashed assuredness from Holly. She has a slight smirk on her face.)

Talib Bari: Alright, talk yo shit, talk yo shit. But yeah, you, Aria and Diamond have certainly let the sparks fly ever since this match was officially announced. Of course, you said you aren’t doing this for brand pride but for yourself, so I was wondering if you could elaborate on that and let everyone know your feelings heading into this match?

Holly Arrow: Sure thing. Honestly, my thoughts haven’t changed. I think I am more than capable and have what it takes to be the better competitor than both Diamond and Aria. Aria may be going through this reprocessing phase while Diamond is showing some talent and has been steadily building herself up since she started wrestling again, but honestly, I’m in this for me and regardless of the shift and changes those two ae going through, it’s just not going to matter. I want to get that statement win to make sure that my season is on the right track. I’ve said it before that there have been some bumpy roads since I returned after my injury, but I’m not the type of person who’s going to pine for how things could’ve been different. It’s just not productive, you know? Especially when I can keep pushing forward and actively change instead of feeling sorry for myself all the damn time. I just do it by winning, and Aria and Diamond are going to realize that when it comes to me, there’s nothing they can say or do to rattle me. I’ve heard it all before – literally – but I’m still here, and when I end up beating them, they’re going to have no excuses.

Talib Bari: Ain’t gonna lie, it does feel like they have been lowkey underestimating you just ‘cause things may not have been hot for you lately.

Holly Arrow: Welcome to my life. :mjlol: Honestly, yeah, they have tried to throw out the usual pot shots and insults, but like I said, I don’t let it affect me. I’m not going to let it affect me. There have been plenty of Elitists even more accomplished than them that have tried to go down that route with me as if it’s going to shatter my ego or whatever, but it doesn’t. I’m a self-aware woman. I know about all the times I have triumphed and where I have failed. People can point out what I have and haven’t been able to do — but that’s not going to deter me, and it certainly isn’t going to make me have any second guesses or doubts about myself and what I am truly capable of inside of that ring. At least this match is going to serve as the perfect reminder for that, I can hardly wait.

Talib Bari: Alright, that’s dope. You chill and level headed. That’s cool. But I wonder if you’ll keep at it once I bring out—

Holly Arrow: Actually, before you do that, there is something I want to get off my chest. :troll:

Talib Bari: Word? I mean, okay. Have at it. What do you wanna say?

Holly Arrow: You know, I do kinda see this event this year as a bit of redemption for me. I lost in Brand Warfare last year and it definitely was a shock because I was one-half of the tag champions at the time, so I definitely expected for me to go far and even win the whole match. I will say that falling short of that stung. Again, I’m not one to go crazy over brand loyalty, and I maintain that, but I guess… it was just a massive platform, you know, and I wanted to continue building off of the momentum I had into that match by beating all of these former champions and even a couple of hall of farmers to boot so that the whole world could know that I was truly serious. Of course, this year, I’m not in the same match, but I do see this as a chance for me to make up for that loss, and at least this time, I can do it all on my own without anyone dragging me down or having to count on others.

Talib Bari: Okay, that’s dope. Definitely get that. Now—

Holly Arrow: —Annnnnd, I think there is nothing better than showing I have what it takes to be a singles champion and a star in my own right by winning this match. Aria and Diamond have been talking a lot, and I mean a LOT of talking. That’s all that they can do. I think they do it because they’re nervous and they know that out of the three of us, I have the biggest chance to win. They’ve tried to demean me and all these things, but that hasn’t worked, and never will.

Talib Bari: Cool, cool. But now, I wanna—

Holly Arrow: Sorry, but do you know any good bars in the area? I think I wanna go for a drink after this.

Talib Bari: Ion know, honestly, haven’t checked out much of the area, but–

(Suddenly, ‘Okay’ by JT hits, and a less-than-amussed Diamond Dixon comes storming down to the ring.)

Diamond Dixon: Alright bitch, that’s enough yapping from you. I see you’re trying to be all cute and sly, but it ain’t gonna work. Tryna get in the way of a real star from showing up, but it ain’t gonna happen.

Crowd: :lupe: !!

(Diamond gets in the ring, immediately staring daggers into Holly, who shrugs and acts all innocent.)

Holly Arrow: Whatever could you mean..? 🤔

Diamond Dixon: You know EXACTLY what I mean. Trying to take center stage and alladat, well guess what? It ain’t working. I see I got you real shook since you wanna dance around the fact that I actually got you sweating. However, Holly, all you’re doing is showing how much of a little bitch you are, and I’m not gonna tolerate it.

Holly Arrow: Me? Come on. I’m anything but that. You’re the one upset because I’m not letting you get inside of my head like you thought you would, and now, here I am on the cusp of beating your ass come next weekend.

Diamond Dixon: Beat WHOSE ass?

Holly Arrow: Yours. I didn’t stutter.

Diamond Dixon: You didn’t but you were better off doing that so I’d take pity on you instead of getting ready to knock your head clean off.

Holly Arrow: Oh, yeah?

(Holly gets out of her seat and comes face to face with Diamond.)

Holly Arrow: So if that’s the case, then do something. We don’t need to wait.

Diamond Dixon: Oooooh, okay. So you wanna buck, huh? Cool with me. At least you aren’t going to waste my ti—

Stew-O: WAIT, WATCH OUT, WATCH OUT!

(All of a sudden, Holly is pushed into Diamond and both of them go down!)

Jake Mercer: THAT’S ARIA! SHE JUST CAME SLIDING INTO THE RING FROM BEHIND AND BROUGHT HOLLY AND DIAMOND DOWN! BOTH OF THEM ARE TRYING TO GET BACK UP, BUT SHE TACKLES THEM DOWN AGAIN AND NOW, SHE’S ALTERNATIG BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM, PUNCHING THEM!

Flannery McCoy: A SNEAK ATTACK, BUT ONE SHE’S TAKING ADVANTAGE OF AND IT’S WORKING! SHE GRABS HOLLY AND SENDS HER CRASHING DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A DDT! HOLLY IS HOLDING HER HEAD! ARIA THEN TURNS HER ATTENTION OVER TO DIAMOND AND CLOCKS HER WITH A SERIES OF ELBOWS AND FOREARMS, BACKPEDALING HER TOWARDS THE ROPES!

Stew-O: AND TALIB IS HIGHTAILING OUT OF THERE! CAN’T BLAME HIM BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO GET NASTY REALLY FAST! ARIA LANDS A KNEE AND IRISH WHIPS DIAMOND — BUT SHE ACTUALLY REVERSES THAT! ARIA GOES RUNNING AND DIAMOND WAITS FOR HER!

Jake Mercer: BUT SHE SLIDES BETWEEN HER LEGS AND POPS UP WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF HER HEAD! DIAMOND GOES DOWN! ARIA LESTRADE STANDS TALL! AND NOW, SHE DIVERTS HER ATTENTION BACK OVER TO HOLLY, YANKING HER UP!

Flannery McCoy: ARIA HAS HOLD OF HOLLY AND LOOKS TO PUNCH HER… BLOCKED!!! HOLLY FIRES OFF WITH A PUNCH OF HER OWN, CAUSING ARIA TO SPIN FROM THE IMPACT! HOLLY LACES HER ARM THROUGH AND DOES THE RIPCORD — LARIAT!!! SHE GETS IT!!! ARIA GOES ROLLING OUT OF THE RING AND FALLS TO THE FLOOR WHERE SHE CLUTCHES HER FACE!!!

Stew-O: And Holly is taking some deep breaths as she recovers from that onslaught! Aria nearly had her, but she was able to thwart it, and now, she stands tall yet again for another week —

Jake Mercer: BIG BOOT BY DIAMOND DIXON! SHE GOT BACK UP!!

Flannery McCoy: HOLLY DID NOT SEE THAT COMING! AND SHE GETS PULLED UP UNCEREMONIOUSLY BEFORE DIAMOND LIFTS HER UP…!

(CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!)

Stew-O: ‘BBL BREAKER’ THROUGH THE TABLE! :damn: !!! OH MY GOD!!!

(Diamond can be seen standing over a downed Holly Arrow who is laying within the broken heap of the table. Meanwhile, Aria is recovering on the outside.)

Jake Mercer: OH, MAN! DIAMOND LEAVES AN EMPHATIC MESSAGE AT THE EXPENSE OF ONE OF OUR VERY OWN! THIS ISN’T RIGHT, DAMN IT!

(And Diamond starts becoming cocky, smirking as she insults Holly and points down at her.)

Flannery McCoy: Damn. Tonight just has been crazy, and what we just saw is no exception. :lupe:

(‘Okay’ hits. Diamond dusts her shoulders off before she walks out of the ring. Holly and Aria are both shown still laying down before Dynasty fades to commercials.)

(A commercial plays for Territorial Invasion, with Holly Arrow set to take on Aria Lestrade and Diamond Dixon in the Women’s Triple Threat Showcase.)

(Friday Night Dynasty fades back into a pre-recorded segment, starting in a dark room as a figure is seen making their way inside and taking a seat. It’s shown to be none other than Daniella Atlas as she has a cold expression on her face, her mind surely racing with a big match on the horizon. She tilts her head as she looks at the camera, and while she does, a small smirk begins to show on her face.)

Daniella Atlas: I have only begun my journey in this company.

(It then goes to show footage of Daniella since arriving on Dynasty, showcasing her strength and pure dominance which she has accumulated over the past couple of months. Cries of agony are heard as the camera focuses on the twisted look on her face as she stands at the center of the ring, victorious over an opponent.)

Daniella Atlas: Few people understand exactly what they’re getting into when they step into the ring with me. They don’t think much of it when they see their name next to mine on the card for the week. Such jovial thoughts allow them to walk into the match completely unperturbed, not knowing that it’s going to be the catalyst for their downfall. Since I arrived at this brand I have shown that I am not taking any prisoners. That I am not going to hold back anymore, and I am certainly not going to step aside for other people. I set out on a mission that I should have accomplished a long time ago, and that’s taking opportunities for myself, every moment will be mine, and making sure that the spotlight shines brightly on me.

(It then goes to Daniella’s rookie Season in this company, as she found herself facing a number of unsatisfying losses on Marquee Events, which are shown in full. It then transitions from a furious Daniella, wallowing in her despair, to her having her hand raised in the air.)

Daniella Atlas: I didn’t have the power to do that before, but now I feel like everything is complete. Like the stars have aligned for me and I have truly found my purpose in this company. My purpose is to be a force, an agent of chaos who will do anything in order to get everything that she wants. Some unfortunate faces have already seen that firsthand, and that is something that they live to regret now as they continue with their miserable careers.

(It then goes back to Reckless Wiring, to see Daniella get a massive win against the likes of Holly Arrow and Mia Santoro. She has a sinister expression on her face as she stands over them, before it then goes back to Daniella in the present.)

Daniella Atlas: But that wasn’t enough for me. Unfortunately, nothing will be enough to cure my bloodlust. I continue to hunt for the right opportunity, the right moment, and I may never get there, but I will make sure I get close. Which is why the first chance I got, I staked my claim. I made it known that I am not going to waste any time, and I am going to make sure that I take exactly what is mine starting immediately.

(It then goes to a recap of everything that has happened leading up to Territorial Invasion, starting with the Dynasty after Reckless Wiring where Daniella would make it known that she is challenging KASAI for the Specialists Championship.)

Daniella Atlas: I didn’t anticipate KASAI declining my offer, she is a fighting Champion, as much of an unwinnable situation as it would be, her pride is strong, she would not allow herself to be humiliated like this. What I didn’t expect though was someone else to add themselves to the equation. What I didn’t expect at all was the likes of Raeangel Guzman to step in and expect themselves to be the person that stops me from reaching my destiny. Quite foolish she is, but they all learn at some point.

(It then goes to clips of Daniella brutalizing the both of them, standing above them as she eyes the Specialists Championship while she does.)

Daniella Atlas: Since I arrived in this company, I have not just had Championship aspirations, I have had aspirations of dominance. I have made sure that everything that I desire will be mine in due time, and every week I get one step closer to that. KASAI and Raeangel may have something to say about that, but the fact of the matter is that I am inevitable. I am someone who is at her very best right here and now, and we’ll continue to grow, and that is something that they are absolutely not prepared for.

(Daniella has a look in her eyes, glaring at the camera as she continues on.)

Daniella Atlas: So with one week left before my crowning, I will make sure that everyone understands exactly the type of competitor that they’re going to be seeing at Territorial Invasion. I want everyone to realize exactly what those two are going to be up against, and the lengths that they’re going to have to go through if they truly want to stop me from taking this Specialists Championship. I know they can’t though, that is something that they are simply not physically capable of in their feeble bodies. I will reap the benefits of their failures, I will take everything from them and leave nothing in their wake.

(It then goes to a final highlight reel, with Daniella continuing to desecrate everyone. A shot of KASAI with the Specialists Championship and Raeangel Guzman are seen disintegrating, with Daniella seen standing tall, shots of the title flashing every so often.)

Daniella Atlas: Ils apprendront tous le sens de la peur.

(The last shot seen before it fades out is Daniella with a cold expression on her face, before it then goes back to Daniella in the present moment.)

Daniella Atlas: They will all learn the meaning of fear.

(Daniella then stands up and makes her way out of the scene, with that being the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty, from there, begins to fade to elsewhere.)

(A commercial plays for Territorial Invasion, where the Specialists Champion KASAI defends the title against Daniella Atlas and Raeangel Guzman.)

(Friday Night Dynasty’s video feed shifts backstage, where Michael Belfort is seated in the interview area alongside none other than the EAW New Breed Champion, BRAE!)

Michael Belfort: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, Dynasty’s very own New Breed Champion, BRAE! First of all, how about you talk to us about that gold over your shoulder and what it means to you, champ?

BRAE: First of all, thank you for having me. Ever since my career here at Elite Answers Wrestling began, this title in particular has been one that I’ve wanted so, so much. There’s no gold quite like the New Breed Championship for a newcomer to the company to win and raise up into the air to show the rest of the roster that I am here to win. It took a lot of struggle and strife for me to finally get this; even now that I’ve had the gold over my shoulder for a decent amount of time, its weight still hasn’t felt… familiar.

BRAE: For me, that’s a good thing. The moment I start to get used to the weight on my shoulder, the moment it starts to feel COMFORTABLE, like HOME, that is when things start going wrong. It’s a tale as old as time for champions in EAW’s past; they start to get cocky at the top of the mountain and stop protecting their spot as ferociously as they did when they first got their gold. That makes them vulnerable, and before they can even blink, they get overthrown by someone that’s just hungrier for it. But me, Michael? Even with this gold, that hunger never left me. From the moment the referee slapped the mat for the third time and signaled my victory at Pain for Pride Kingdom to right now, there has been nothing on my mind but stamping my name into this title’s legacy more than I already have.

BRAE: That’s not to say I haven’t ENJOYED being the champion. Believe me, I have. But that’s just the thing… now that I’ve had a taste of gold, I’m not willing to let it go. Not for anybody. Which means that my hunger needs to outpace the hunger of every New Breed in that locker room that has their guns aimed at my head. There hasn’t been a single day since I joined Elite Answers Wrestling where I broke out of my gym routine. There hasn’t been a single meal that I’ve eaten where I didn’t grow healthier from. People may think that ever since I got the gold, all of those insane training regiments I put myself through must have stopped… but that couldn’t be further from the truth. They’ve only gotten MORE intense. And they will CONTINUE to get more intense. Because I have men like Chiyo Gedo looking to put me through the most intense torment of my life, and so I need to beat them to the chase and make myself strong enough to overcome it.

Michael Belfort: Speaking of Chiyo Gedo, the New Breed has certainly shown an impressive side to himself in recent times. Ever since he got left off the 24/7 Battle Royale, a fire has been lit underneath him and he’s started making waves like we’ve never seen him make before. Ever since he won the shot at your gold, he’s looking to make those waves bigger than the ones you, yourself, have made. What are your thoughts on your challenger and his ambition?

BRAE: I agree that Chiyo has upped his game, especially since his debut. I’m not here to dispute that. But just as I said moments ago, just as I said last week as well, him flipping the switch and putting the pedal to the metal simply will not be good enough to take the gold from a man like me, who has had the pedal to the metal all this time. He is the perfect CHALLENGER for me at this moment; a motivated New Breed looking to prove himself in a landscape as dynamic as EAW. But is he the perfect candidate to TAKE it from me? That is where he and I will disagree. I just don’t think the Chiyo Gedo of today has what it takes to shape up to the BRAE of today. I can respect the fire he’s shown, but it’s going to end up falling flat when he puts it against my fire. That’s just the reality of the situation.

BRAE: And when it’s all said and done, it’ll be up to Chiyo to show how he fares when he makes it close to the mountaintop only to slip at the last few steps. The fire we see now… will it continue to burn? Will it burn brighter, or will it diminish from loss? I’m the head of the division now, and it’s my responsibility to put the New Breeds to the test. It is for that reason that I am going to put Chiyo Gedo through his own personal hell when we meet in that ring. If he comes out the other end as motivated as he is now, then that will be something for him to take pride in. But until then? However much this ‘means’ to him, however much he tries to puff out his chest and show the world the new Chiyo Gedo, it will turn out to be meaningless when I pick him up and drop him back off at square one-

Michael Belfort: OH MY GOD-

Stew-O: IT’S CHIYO GEDO! HE’S BARGED INTO THE INTERVIEW AREA AND ATTACKED BRAE FROM BEHIND! HE JUST BASHED HIM OVER THE HEAD WITH A DOUBLE AXE HANDLE!

Flannery McCoy: THIS IS TOO MUCH! BRAE ISN’T HERE FOR A MATCH, THIS WAS JUST SUPPOSED TO BE AN INTERVIEW!

Jake Mercer: You know how it goes in EAW! The moment you enter the arena, you can pretty much get attacked at any moment! Chiyo Gedo is making a statement here at the champ’s expense, launching clubbing blow after clubbing blow to the back of the champ’s head, who has stumbled out of the interviewee chair!

Stew-O: And now Chiyo Gedo showing some brutality on top of his motivation, thrust kicking BRAE out of the interviewer’s area and into the hallway! He’s following suit, hunting down the champion who has been taken completely off guard!

Flannery McCoy: But now BRAE is fighting back, despite the circumstances! He’s launching some punches of his own back at Chiyo Gedo, pushing him back to the interviewer’s area where Chiyo interrupted the champ!

Jake Mercer: BRAE looks to end this skirmish before it gets too out of hand, going for MORRIGAN AGAINST CHIYO GEDO-

Stew-O: BUT CHIYO DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT! BRAE stumbles forward before turning around, only to get kicked in the gut by Chiyo! And now a knee lift to the bent-over head of the champion to boot, completely dazing BRAE!

Flannery McCoy: Chiyo Gedo grabs a handful of BRAE’s hair and drags him past the interviewer’s chair and back near the interviewee’s chair… what’s he got planned here?! There’s nothing there but the wall- OH!

Jake Mercer: THAT’S WHAT HE HAD PLANNED! NOTHING COMPLEX ABOUT IT, HE JUST SMASHED THE CHAMPION’S FACE AGAINST THE CONCRETE WALL! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! WHAT, IS HE TRYING TO GIVE THE CHAMPION A CONCUSSION BEFORE THEIR MATCH?!

Stew-O: THIS IS OUT OF CONTROL! WILL SOMEONE CALL SECURITY?! BRAE IS BUSTED WIDE OPEN, THE BLOOD IS POURING FROM HIS FACE BUT CHIYO SHOWS NO SIGNS OF MERCY AS HE KEEPS SLAMMING BRAE FACE-FIRST INTO THE CONCRETE WALL!

Flannery McCoy: It seems Chiyo has made his message as he callously throws BRAE to the ground before his eyes leer over to the prize that it’s all about, the New Breed Championship! He picks it up and brings it to BRAE!

Jake Mercer: Now he’s crouching down by the fallen champion, pressing the championship gold up against the blood-soaked face of BRAE! That blood is getting all over the title, but I don’t think Chiyo Gedo gives a damn!

Chiyo Gedo: You see this? YOU SEE THIS?! IT’S YOUR BLOOD ON YOUR TITLE! THAT’S GOING TO BE YOUR LEGACY, BRAE! NOT A HISTORIC REIGN, BUT A BLOODY DEFEAT AT MY HANDS! So I want you to remember the cold feeling of this gold pressed against your forehead, because the time is ticking and this’ll be one of the last times you’ll get to have the title this close to you before I take it away for good. Isn’t this what you wanted?! TO SEE MY PASSION?! HERE IT IS! YOU’D BETTER BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR, BECAUSE YOU’RE GETTING IT AT TERRITORIAL INVASION!

Stew-O: Oh, and NOW the security came! They’re dragging Chiyo Gedo away from BRAE before he can do any more damage, but BRAE is still laid out with the title over his head! He might need some medical attention! With Territorial Invasion just around the corner, tensions couldn’t be higher between these two men! Which one of them will walk out with the New Breed Championship held high, and which one will truly be sent back to square one?! You’ll have to tune in to find out!

(The video feed lingers on Chiyo Gedo getting dragged out of the interviewer’s area as medical staff rush in to check on BRAE; the video feed fades to black on the chaos that has ensued.)

(A commercial plays for Territorial Invasion, where BRAE defends the EAW New Breed Championship against Chiyo Gedo.)

(Dynasty returns live from the break where the camera takes in the sight of the fans.)

Stew-O: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Friday Night Dynasty! What a chaotic scene we witnessed before commercials with Chiyo and BRAE getting into a fight which has left the champion laid out. One has to wonder how much that fight may have taken out of him.

Jake Mercer: Yeah, no kidding. I don’t think I have ever seen Chiyo wail out on someone like that before, either! He’s usually more level-headed, but wow, I guess BRAE just unlocked something inside of him that made him snap!

Flannery McCoy: And of course, one has to wonder how BRAE is going to be feeling after that nasty fight. He is still being treated by medical professionals backstage as we speak. :lupe: I know BRAE has proven himself to be one of the toughest competitors here on Dynasty and in EAW, but that was intense.

Stew-O: Definitely a lot to wonder on, but at the very least, the title match is still very much on between him and Chiyo Gedo. Now, let’s take it back to the ring where the King of Elite is ready to make his grand entrance!

(‘2024’ by Playboi Carti plays, causing a raptuous applause from the fans. Joso steps out, wearing a casual, black and white button down top, black slacks, loafers, and some of the jewelry that he purchased not too long ago. The King of Elite looks around to the fans and smirks before he strolls down the ramp and towards the ring.)

Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome at this time the 2024 King of Elite… JOOOOOSOOOOOOOO!!

Stew-O: The Japanese fans are usually more reserved, but in this special case, they cannot help but be glad that Joso is here! He already made his intentions known to the world that he plans on using his opportunity for winning the tournament to take on either Myles or Cy Henderson at House of Glass, and he is more than determined to win when it’s all said and done.

Jake Mercer: He has the chance the cap off this journey he’s been on with the greatest prize of them all. Many saw it as unorthodox at first as Joso wanted to continue to prove himself before he felt like he was absolutely ready to call his shot, and honestly, he has been impressive ever since this season began. Momentum has continued to be strongly on his side, and who knows? He may get the job done. However, he’s gonna have to be extraordinarily better than either Cy or Myles, because both men are no joke and have been equally as dominant, if not moreso than him.

Flannery McCoy: I can definitely see your point. Both Elitists have been on a roll themselves, so Joso is really going to have to step his game up and do everything he can to make sure he can be the better talent to beat them. However, from seeing him after all this time he has spent on this brand, I have a feeling that he isn’t going to let the nerves get to him. Far from it.

(Joso gets in the ring and is handed a microphone as his theme song fades. The fans continue to cheer. He looks around with his usual grin before he speaks up and greets the fans.)

Joso: Aye yo, To-ky-ooooooooooooooooooo! What’s popping?!

Crowd: Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! :blessed: :blessed: :blessed:

Joso: Alright, alright, y’ll doing good, y’all doing good. I mean, I’m doing good myself, too. And I bet y’all are feeling good since Dynasty is gonna do what it always does and that’s kick some ass at Territorial Invasion!

(He smiles once more as the fans clap and applaud before continuing on.)

Joso: Of course, things were gonna be different. I was supposed to face Andre Walker at the event, but then that whole injury thing happened, and now? Well, I’m not even going to be competing at the show.

(Some boos and displeased sounds can be heard from the audience. Joso nods, sharing the fans’ disappointment.)

Joso: Yeah, it definitely sucks. I was more than looking forward to smacking that fake Kaiser upside his head once again and showing him that when it comes to me, beating him way back then for the Interwire Championship was far from a fluke. Now I’m hearing that people are unsure about whether or not he’ll even come back. It definitely was a sudden and anticlimactic end to this whole beef that’s been going on between us but at the same time, I ain’t the type of dude to cry over some sour grapes, you know what I mean? I was more than ready to prove my worth, especially now that I have grown leaps and bounds from that time. Leveled up in ways y’all couldn’t even imagine. And I was eager to show that I could put Andre down once and for all. But hey, life had different plans, right? And you know what? It just means that I can look forward to the bigger picture now without anyone getting in the way of that, and honestly, I couldn’t be more glad. Now, I don’t have to saddled with any distractions. No one is going to come in between of me and my goals, and as you all know, I want to be a world champion this season. I said it before, and I’ll say it again — I will be a world champion. And now, with Andre out the picture, there’s no more detours, no more sidetracks. My focus is sharper than ever, and every single one of y’all knows what I’m capable of when I’ve got nothing in my way.

Joso: See, a lotta people thought I wasn’t ready. They said I should wait, let things play out, take my time. But what did I do? I proved ‘em wrong, time and time again. And now? I got the whole world talkin’ about me. I got people wondering if this is my time. Well, let me clear something up — this isn’t just my time… this is the moment where I redefine everything you thought you knew about me. People been saying I’m good, but I’m better than good. I’m better than great. I’m unstoppable. Y’all hear me? Better than great, better than whatever label you wanna slap on me. Still, the only label that’s important to me as far as I’m concerned is world champion, and regardless of whether I gotta beat Cy Henderson or Myles in order to accomplish that, it’s gonna happen. You can write that down, you can put it in the history books right now. Myles? I respectyou, no doubt about it. Cy? Eh, not so much. But respect ain’t gonna stop me from running through either of you when that title’s on the line, and trust me, I’m not gonna be walking out of House of Glass without the EAW World Heavyweight Championship.

(The crowd claps for this.)

Joso: The two of them are the best to ever do it, but I’m the best of this era, respectfully. That ain’t gonna change, either. I’m the present and I’m the future of this company, and no matter what Myles or Cy does, they’re not stopping that. Not now, and not ever. They’re gonna brag and say how they’re at the top of their game, but guess what? So am I. I wasn’t gonna be playing around once this season started, and sure enough, I have done nothing more than sprint rather than slow down. That’s just the kind of person I am. I ain’t gonna get lost in the allure of legends and their names. Hell, if anything, I’m gonna be the kind of dude that’s gonna strike those same names down so I can build my own up. After all, that’s what I’ve been doing all this time. No matter who steps up to me or vice versa, I deliver. Catch ‘em in the scope and pull the trigger.

(Joso uses his hands and arms to mimic the motion of holding a gun.)

Joso: And y’all already know me. I don’t miss.

(He smirks before continuing.)

Joso: People like to talk about how legends never die, right? Well, let me ask you this: What happens when the new blood doesn’t just take over, but completely rewrites the script? What happens when the guy everyone says has “potential” starts cashing in on it? That’s what you’re looking at right here. You’re looking at the guy who’s going to rewrite what it means to be the best. Because I’m not just satisfied with being great, with being “one of the best.” Nah, I’m looking to leave a legacy that’s untouchable. One that sets the standard so high, nobody can reach it. And at House of Glass? That’s where it all starts. That’s where the conversation shifts. Cy Henderson, Myles, they’ve had their time, and they’ve earned their respect. But now, it’s my time. It’s time for Joso to show the world why I’m the best of this generation, why I’m the one that everyone’s talking about.And believe me, I’m not just stepping into that ring to prove a point: I’m stepping in to take over. I’m stepping in to claim what’s mine. You see, I don’t just want the world title. I need it. I need that championship to solidify what I’ve been saying all along that Joso isn’t just a name to remember: it’s the name that defines this era.

Joso: So yeah, Cy, Myles, they’re two of the best. But when it comes down to it, when the dust settles and the glass shatters, there’s only gonna be one man standing tall, and that’s me. I’m gonna be the one with that world title in my hands. I’m gonna be the one walking out of House of Glass as the face of this company, the face of this era, and no one is gonna take that from me.

(‘2024’ blasts through the arena once more. Joso nods his head, determined as ever, as some of the fans can be heard chanting for him.)

Stew-O: No need to guess that the EAW universe believes that Joso can get the job done at House of Glass. However, the question that is now on everyone’s minds is who will he be able to dethrone, if possible, inside of Glass Wallz. Will it be Cy, or Myles?

Jake Mercer: I don’t know, but either way, that match is going to be insane.

Flannery McCoy: And speaking of Cy, I’m hearing that he along with Rebel Nation 2.0 are backstage, hosting wha seems to be a meeting of sorts? We’ll take it to the back for everyone to see.

(And with that, Dynasty fades from the shot of Joso to backstage where Team Rebel 2.0. — Chris Elite, Drake Armstrong, Vincent Mondrian, Shinzo Sasaki and Brand Warfare Captain, Cy Henderson are all gathered around a round table. Cy is the one standing up, pacing back-and-forth as he gets his words together. The rest of the men are sat down as they await for this ‘meeting’ to begin.)

Cy Henderson: These next two nights are going to be critical when it comes to the momentum of the Dynasty brand. On Showdown, Vincent Mondrian will be sent to uncharted territory as he faces Voltage’s Effy McAvoy and Showdown’s own, SOSA Henderson. On Voltage, Drake Armstrong will be sent to Voltage as he’ll face Showdown’s Jon Kelton and Voltage’s co-captain, Limmy Monaghan. We all know how Brand Warfare is going to down, but these two preview matches are going to be critical when it comes to getting the edge on everyone else.

Vincent Mondrian: Effy McAvoy is an odd case. She’s proven to be a liability in any of these team situations. Brand Warfare will prove that. She’s only focused in earning Ahren Fournier’s approval. That’s going to blind her in the end. A complete nutcase. And, SOSA Henderson? Mr. 24/7. Does he really need this match? What does he have to gain from a match like this? He can pursue any championship that he wants? This is nothing more than something to enhance his over inflated ego. The calm and level headed in me is what is going to take me and Team Rebel 2.0 to victory.

Drake Armstrong: You have the best person to go into war on Voltage. Limmy Monaghan hasn’t been the same since he lost the title. You showed that at Pain for Pride, Cy. Jake Smith showed that at Bloodsport. He’s had his own string of bad luck as of late and Team Rebel 2.0 is going to continue that. And, Jon Kelton? An even bigger loser than Limmy. At least, Limmy’s been a World Champion. Limmy was able to be a World Champion on THIS brand. A brand where the best of the brand wrestle. Jon’s been National Elite Champion on a brand with no star power and low-tier wrestlers. I am going to wipe the floor with those two and it’s not going to be funny.

Vincent Mondrian: Cy, we can promise you that we’re going to come out with the win and ESPECIALLY, when it matters.

(Cy Henderson nods and smirks, loving what Vincent Mondrian and Drake Armstrong are telling him. He continues on with this discussion.)

Cy Henderson: That’s good because we know what’s on the line. We’ve had our integrity tested on more than one occasion and Showdown and Voltage have the gall to come after us and say that we’re the ones without all the answers? In fact, we have everything all figured out. With Territorial Invasion next week, I want to go over some last minute things. Some things that could make or break our performance at Territorial Invasion. Does anyone here have any qualms before we head into battle? The last thing that I want to deal with is any problems.

(The room is quiet. Everyone is looking around, seeing if anyone is going to raise their hands or speak up.)

Chris Elite: Alright, no one? Let’s get out of here —

(Chris Elite begins to rise up from his chair, ready to leave the room.)

Drake Armstrong: Actually, I got some qualms with you.

(Chris Elite is halted by Drake Armstrong’s words. He shakes his head, releasing a bit of a chuckle before sitting back down. Chris and Drake have gotten into a brief argument last week, so there’s still some tension between these two men.)

Chris Elite: Actually, I got some qualms with you. 🤓

Drake Armstrong: Real mature, Chris.

Chris Elite: Get off my dick.

(The two men begin to argue with each other. It’s unclear what they’re arguing about right now. This changes the whole atmosphere of the room as Cy Henderson is trying to remain calm. He tries to get a word in between Drake Armstrong and Chris Elite, but those two look so occupied by their bickering, they are oblivious to Cy. Cy SLAMS his hand against the table, which captures the attention of everyone in the room, especially Chris and Drake.)

Cy Henderson: Guys, this is what Showdown and Voltage want from us! They want to see Team Rebel 2.0 divided! We need to understand that although we may disagree, we have to be on the same page to benefit off of this or else, it’s going to be for nothing.

Shinzo Sasaki: Now, being picked by a former World Champion and Hall of Famer like yourself, Cy, most people would kill for an opportunity like this. I have an opportunity to avenge my failures. But, I’m not going to be around the bush about this: I don’t like being in a team. I’m not particularly pleased with how everything has panned out heading to this. The loss to Hans Grayson still leaves a awful taste in my mouth. My time in KAI-ZEN wasn’t what I expected it to be. I was held down by false promises and incompetent men, who weren’t on my level. My trust when it comes to being in a team may not be as willingly as everyone else’s, but as long as none of you harm Dynasty’s chances at winning, then I’ll have no complains.

Drake Armstrong; Agreed, Shinzo. Couldn’t have it put it any better.

Chris Elite: Stop dickeating, beloved.

(Drake Armstrong rolls his eyes, but Chris Elite continues on.)

Chris Elite: There’s some of you that I may not like —Drake— but, as long as you’re not annoying and on my dick, you’re alright. We all wanna win. I wanna get another championship reign. Most specifically, that World title reign would be satisfying. Especially, with all of those dick eaters that keep using the same narrative since 2020.

Vincent Mondrian: I want for this match to lead to bigger opportunities for me. I was so close to becoming New Breed Champion at Reckless Wiring. I know that if I get another opportunity, I’ll be ready this time around. New Breed, Interwire, World Champion, I want it all.

Drake Armstrong: I was close to becoming World Heavyweight Champion at Reckless Wiring. I’m on the same boat as you, Vincent. I know I can be World Champion. They call me ‘The Future’ for nothing. Myles was lucky that he escaped with the World Heavyweight Champion, but he won’t be lucky this time around.

Cy Henderson: Be careful with your words, Drake. It could be me that you’ll be facing at the end of it all. :mjgrin: As move on to Brand Warfare, I cannot stress how this is not just a win for Rebel Nation 2.0., but a win for Dynasty as a whole. We need to show everyone where the Dynasty brand is where the best wrestle and neither Showdown or Voltage are going to take that away from us.

Drake Armstrong: And, they won’t. Don’t worry about us now. Go focus on that main event. You know what you need to do.

(Cy Henderson shakes his head, knowing what he must do now and that’s become World Heavyweight Champion. He exits the room, leaving the rest of Team Rebel 2.0. by themselves. The scene fades to ringside. Stephie Love can be seen in the ring as the main event is ready to get underway.)

 

(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring.)

Stephie Love: The following main event contest is scheduled for one fall!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Stephie Love: AND IT IS FOR… THE WORLD, HEAVYWEIGHTTTT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

(‘Saint Pablo’ by Kanye West can be heard blaring throughout the speakers as the crowd roars with the arrival of Cy Henderson. Cy takes a glance upon the audience tonight, not all too receptive to their reactions as he keeps his expression tame while looking ahead to the ring, ready for the world title match to come as it’s become his one focus.)

Stephie Love: Introducing the challenger! From New York City, New York, weighing in at 240 pounds… CYYYYYYY HENDERSON!!!

Stew-O: And here we have it, as the main event of the final Dynasty before Territorial Invasion will be underway in a moment’s notice! Cy Henderson is looking to capture another World Championship in his career here in EAW, as he may be seeking out representing Rebel Nation 2.0 in the most intimidating lens possible, which can be done by becoming the new World Heavyweight Champion!

Flannery McCoy: Most certainly can be done through that method! Cy is an accomplished elitist in his own right & an EAW Hall of Famer for good reason, despite all of the change he has undergone, he may be the most credible threat to Myles on the Dynasty brand. We will surely have our answers tonight on who is the better man today…

(‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi can be heard blaring throughout the speakers as the audience reacts loudly for the arrival of their World Heavyweight Champion, as Myles stands in his lonesome with his most prized possession wrapped around him. He takes a glance at the audience for a brief moment shortly before looking ahead to Cy & heading down the ramp, focused in his own right.)

Stephie Love: Introducing the champion! From Melbourne, Australia, weighing in at 225 pounds… HE IS THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION…. MYYYYYYYYYYYLEEES!!!

Stew-O: Of course, there is no counting out our World Heavyweight Champion on a night such as this! Myles has been the defending World Champion ever since winning the title from last year & has remained the champion throughout the entirety of this season. Cy will have quite the tall task ahead, but Myles absolutely will as well.

Jake Mercer: We aren’t shocked by how this is essentially a clash between two elitists who have been giants in this industry of professional wrestling. Cy is looking to uphold the role of World Champion once more, but he will stand before the man that has represented being World Champion to the fullest…

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stew-O: And we’re off!!! The main event of Dynasty tonight is for the coveted & prestigious World Heavyweight Championship, with Myles defending his own gold against the challenger & EAW Hall of Famer Cy Henderson! This is a match that we’ve been looking forward to at the same time as all of the noise surrounding Territorial Invasion, so this is certainly quite the way to cap off the road to the event with an immense championship bout right here! Cy & Myles are circling the ring here, as Myles is reaching around and keeping himself light on his own feet while Cy is honing himself into a more methodical pace for himself. These men have differing methods for exacting their work between those ropes, which is exactly what we are going to be met with tonight!

Flannery McCoy: After all of the time that Myles has spent being able to uphold such a strenuous position as World Champion, tonight is another reminder of the pressure he is always willing to apply no matter the challenger! Cy raises his own arms upward as Myles doesn’t shy away from doing the same, with both men approaching one another & aiming for a collar and elbow tie-up to kick the match off properly! Each of these elitists pose their own measure of strength here that allows them to push toward one another & keep the other at bay, but Cy is beginning to push Myles back as he’s now got the champion pressed against the ropes! The referee counts down, and the disqualification is swiftly avoided with Cy raising his own arms, and Myles doing the same…

Jake Mercer: ‘TILL CY REELS MYLES AWAY FROM THE ROPES WITH A SWIFT HEADLOCK! Henderson didn’t give Myles a shred of time to recoup and bring himself back into the swing of the match early on, wrenching his arm around the champion’s head as much as he can here! It’s no surprise that Cy is not gonna allow for any wiggle room that’ll make Myles find a way to get out of this sooner, but Myles keeps himself on his toes as he’s able to lean Cy over toward the ropes, looking to shove him off! But Cy only wrenched his arm tightly around his head further as he sinks himself into the mat! Myles had no choice but to be brought down to a crouched position while Henderson keeps the headlock maintained!

Stew-O: Myles is certainly struggling a fair bit at the moment, but this will not substantiate itself for long as he’s beginning to rise back up to his feet again, and Cy is doing all that he can to keep this headlock applied for longer but.. Myles is now dragging himself upward, and delivering repeated punches across Cy’s abdomen as he’s looking to loosen the grip that Henderson has over him! Shortly before lifting Cy upward and over his shoulder as well.. AS HE’S LOOKING FOR A SUDDEN LAWN DART THROW TOWARD THE CORNER—BUT CY DROPS BEHIND MYLES & QUICKLY ROLLS HIM UP!!

ONE!!!

TWO!!!!

Flannery McCoy: MYLES QUICKLY KICKS OUT! He rolls himself back up to his feet and tries to react quickly—BUT A SHOULDER BLOCK FROM CY KNOCKS MYLES DOWN! Cy gets himself up to a knee, motioning over toward Myles as he proceeds to send repeated rights across his skull while Myles is trying to shield himself for a moment, soon able to push Cy away with a brief kick as he’s now bringing himself up to his feet by using the ropes closest to his position! Cy shakes off the kick rather quickly to focus back on Myles, rushing back toward the champion & getting his arms around his waist for a GERMAN SUPLEX!

Jake Mercer: BUT MYLES WITH A STRONG BACK ELBOW ACROSS THE TEMPLE OF CY HENDERSON! Cy is rocked considerably by the elbow as he’s now vigorously shaking his own head in an attempt to shake off the elbow, focusing back on Myles & keeping himself on the attack with an attempt of a SWING—BUT MYLES DUCKS THE SWING & RETURNS THE FAVOR AGAIN WITH A SPINNING BACK KICK! Cy is knocked into the ropes as he’s now stumbling forward & directly toward Myles as he’s still conscious enough to keep himself up on his own feet.. BUT NOT FOR LONG! BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE CATCHES CY SQUARE ACROSS THE JAW & KNOCKS HIM DOWN!! The cover is applied by the champion!!

ONE!!!!

TWO!!!!

Stew-O: CY KICKS OUT! Myles nods to himself as he understands it’s gonna take far more in the tank in order to put down Cy Henderson, a man who has not known defeat as frequently as a grand majority of the EAW roster since returning to the ring! Now Cy is looking to keep himself moving, retaining much of his consciousness as he’s heading over to the ropes, dragging himself up and looking to bring himself into a more advantageous position while Myles is up on his own as well! The World Heavyweight Champion now seeks out another maneuver to put Cy back down WITH A DISCUS KNEE STRIKE—

Flannery McCoy: BUT CY TOSSES MYLES RIGHT OVER HIMSELF & OVER THE TOP ROPE!!! Myles holds onto the ropes however, able to stop himself from collapsing onto the ringside floor at the nick of time! Cy walks away from the ropes for a brief moment, but he spots Myles at the corner of his eye still holding on as he’s now running back over to Myles and looking to knock him off for good—BUT MYLES WITH AN ENZIGURI THAT CATCHES CY HENDERSON OFF GUARD! Cy is rocked by a sizable degree as now Myles has a great opportunity here to take advantage of Cy’s state!

Jake Mercer: With Cy staggered for the moment, now Myles sees his opportunity right here to leap up onto the ropes AS HE MAY BE LOOKING TO—BUT CY IN A DESPERATE FLURRY RUSHES THE ROPES AND PUSHES THEM! MYLES COLLAPSES ONTO THE TOP ROPE CHEST FIRST!! He’s able to hold onto the ropes and remain on the apron for the time being, but now Cy’s motioned himself over onto the same apron that the champion is on! Myles doesn’t have a good eye here as he’s trying to recover from dropping onto the top rope… AS CY GRABS A HOLD OF MYLES & PLANTS HIM DOWN ONTO THE APRON WITH A URANAGE!!!

Stew-O: The impact of the uranage on the apron causes Myles to collapse from the apron and down onto the ringside floor! Now Myles is squirming around, placing a hand right over his own lower back as he was put through quite the ringer there with Cy! Now the referee is looking to count down but Henderson is not willing to budge for a moment as he’s rolling himself right back out of the ring! Myles is trying to bring himself back as quickly as he possibly can.. but Cy grabs a hold of Myles waist AND DRIVES HIM INTO THE BARRICADE IN FRONT OF HIM! LOWER BACK FIRST! Myles struggles to garner any room for movement here!

Flannery McCoy: Cy is making sure that Myles is not given any room to maneuver whatsoever here, and he’s not stopping from there! Cy keeps a hold of Myles’ waist and leads him around… DRIVING HIM DIRECTLY INTO THE STEEL STEPS AS HIS LOWER BACK HITS THE UNFORGIVING STEEL!! Myles groans out in pain as he drops down from the stance and down to the floor, as Cy is now bringing himself up & relishing in the time that he’s been able to give himself. The more time that he’s able to recover and keep himself conscious, it’s far more difficult for Myles to put Cy down! Myles himself is certainly going through the pain right about now, and before the referee could get a decent lead on the count Cy is able to toss Myles back into the ring!

Jake Mercer: With no time left to spare, Cy Henderson keeps himself in the corner, as Myles is slowly rising to his feet, refusing to stay down for a longer amount of time than the average elitist would after being placed through what he has from the Hall of Famer these past couple minutes! However, Myles may be able to return to a proper stance on the moment which DOESN’T LAST LONG AFTER AN IMMEDIATE BIG BOOT FROM CY HENDERSON IS ABLE TO DROP MYLES!! Myles is back down on the mat as Cy now hooks the leg, looking to win the title right here!

ONEEEE!!!

TWOOOOOO!!!

THREEE—

Stew-O: NOT QUITE ENOUGH!! Myles is able to kick out as Cy is now sitting up, building a very small grin on his face as he’s glancing down at Myles & mounting further rights upon his upper back! He brings himself up and now decides it’s a perfect time to stomp DOWN onto the lower back of the champion! The lower back has taken a considerable amount of damage as this match continues to roll on! Cy is not relenting himself back for a single moment against the fellow EAW Hall of Famer, as Myles is unable to retaliate while stuck in quite the perilous position as the defending World Champion!

Flannery McCoy: Which Cy Henderson has taken an excellent account of given how much damage he’s able to inflict! Now Cy is pressing his own knee down onto Myles lower back, not letting him maneuver any further than he needs to as he then reaches forward to get his hands interlocked around Myles’ neck! He’s applying a modified submission here where the damage he’s been able to dish out is turning out to his very benefit! Myles is reaching out for the ropes but Cy has done the best job possible at keeping him in the middle of the ring! If this submission persists for any longer, the champion might not have any choice here if there’s no other options to retreat to!

Jake Mercer: But look at Myles!!! Now he’s able to shift his own body weight along with a Cy Henderson toward the ropes, even as he’s being placed through all of the pain right now, Myles is still remaining resilient as ever on his pursuit to holding onto his own world championship gold! Cy is keeping this submission applied but it may not be enough here… AS MYLES IS ABLE TO REACH THE ROPES! HE GOT ‘EM! His hand clutches onto the bottom rope as the referee is now counting down on Cy Henderson, but Cy is gonna exhaust this count all the way to four before letting go! Myles is able to escape disaster for now, but Cy’s looking to put Myles down for good here!

Stew-O: As Myles is coughing up a storm, bringing himself back up to his own two feet with amplified struggle here while Cy has himself backed toward a side of the ring, lying in wait as the champion is now able to shift himself around slowly, perhaps unexpecting to the level of hurt that Henderson will soon be capable of delivering upon him AS CY’S NOW RUSHING TOWARD MYLES WITH THE ‘CYCLONE LARIAT’—

Flannery McCoy: MYLES SWIFTLY GRABS CY OVER HIS OWN SHOULDERS AND NAILS THE SAMOAN DROP!!! Myles evades further doom after Cy was surely gonna drop him with the lariat, but the champion’s reflexes are able to save him as he’s now giving himself much needed time to recover! Myles is dragging his own body back up to a proper stance with the ropes, fighting through all of the pain that’s been inflicted by Cy while the challenger is disoriented! He’s moving himself up here.. BUT MYLES WITH A FOREARM! AND ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! CY IS BEING KEPT AT BAY!!

Jake Mercer: Cy is rocked to his very core with each and every single forearm that’s being planted directly across his own temple! Now Myles looks to irish whip Cy across the ring.. but Henderson finds a way to reverse the momentum and irish whip Myles to his own accord here! Now Myles is rushing the ropes and forced to rebound back toward the challenger as Henderson looks to drop him with a strike—BUT CY IS UNABLE TO RETALIATE AGAINST A SUDDEN SHOTGUN DROPKICK FROM MYLES! Henderson is dropped by the shotgun dropkick with authority as Myles is now looking to put Cy down for good measure here… bringing Cy Henderson right over his own shoulder and RUSHING TOWARD THE CORNER WITH THE LAWN DART THROW!!!! Cy is dropped as Myles rushes over to the cover!

ONEEEE!!!

TWOOOOOO!!!

THREEE—

Stew-O: KICK OUT! NOT ENOUGH!! Cy Henderson is still in this match & looking to keep himself in the fight so he can become the new World Heavyweight Champion! Now Myles sees how this match can pan out for the worse if this continues further, Cy can take full advantage of the worsened lower back! Myles returns to his own feet and backs himself toward the ropes, seeing that Cy is slowly rising up to a crouched position, on his knees and not able to look directly toward Myles who is positioned behind him! I believe we all know what’s gonna occur next here, as Myles rushed forward AND DOESN’T SLOW DOWN WITH ‘DRACO METEOR’—

Flannery McCoy: BUT CY HENDERSON QUICKLY DUCKS FORWARD & AVOIDS THE KNEES TO THE BACK OF HIS OWN HEAD! Myles isn’t able to land the knees onto Cy as now Henderson is quickly getting his own arms around Myles from behind as the champion is unable to react quickly enough here—AND CY SENDS MYLES CRASHING ONTO THE BACK OF HIS OWN NECK WITH THE GERMAN SUPLEX!!! Myles is taken down with authority as Cy is now looking to bring himself back up, seeing that Myles is rolling himself over and onto his knees! Henderson drags Myles back up to his own feet, looking to hoist him upward for the ‘PHANTOM DEATH’—

Jake Mercer: MYLES FLIPS HIMSELF AROUND AND SENDS CY THROUGH THE ROPES WITH THE HURRICANRANA TO REVERSE!!! Cy is sent outside and lands onto his own feet just barely! Henderson’s trying to recover but Myles isn’t giving him any time to breathe here as he’s now rushing the ropes & running BACK TOWARD CY HENDERSON AS HE DROPS ONTO HIM WITH THE TOPE CON GIRO!!! Cy is down as Myles is fighting through the pain, looking to drag Henderson back into the ring!!! Cy is shaking his own head, refusing to stay down for long as he’s slowly rising to his knees here!

Stew-O: ONLY FOR THE RISE TO BE FOLLOWED UP ON BY THE ‘DRACO METEOR’ THIS TIME!! THE KNEES SUCCESSFULLY CATCH CY AS MYLES HOOKS THE LEG!!!

ONEEEE!!!

TWOOOOOO!!!

THREEEEEEE—

Flannery McCoy: NO! IT’S STILL NOT ENOUGH!!! CY HENDERSON RESILIENT AS EVER! Myles is breathing heavily, still having to undergo the battle here but it seems he’s become all the more battle tested in moments like these! Now he’s bringing himself up, and slowly but surely dragging Henderson up to his own feet as well… with Cy not able to make too many movements here, Myles is now hoisting him up high… AND LOOKING TO PUT AN END TO THIS MATCH WITH THE ‘DE FACTO’—

Jake Mercer: BUT CY DROPS HIMSELF RIGHT IN FRONT OF MYLES WHILE KEEPING A HOLD OF HIS WAIST, NOW HOISTING HIM UP HIGH! Myles is wide-eyed as he’s erratically glancing around and looking to send a couple rights across Cy’s skull here but Henderson’s momentum isn’t being stopped by ANY MEANS HERE—AS THE BUCKLE BOMB LANDS & MYLES CRASHES INTO THE CORNER!!!! Myles stumbles away from the corner after being sent into the turnbuckle as Cy immediately has another answer in the form OF THE ‘CYCLONE LARIAT’ CONNECTING THIS TIME!!! MYLES IS SENT DOWN AS CY HOOKS THE LEG!!!

ONEEEE!!!

TWOOOOOO!!!

THREEEEEEE—

Stew-O: NO!! MYLES STAYS ALIVE AS THIS MAIN EVENT FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE ROLLS ON! Cy’s sat up in an instant, also feeling the effects of this match to a considerable degree! He has brought the fight and then some to Myles, but he has still yet to put the champion down! Now Henderson isn’t looking to wait for long, as he’s surely preparing to put Myles down once & for all, to bring home the gold and go into Territorial Invasion with the title!

Flannery McCoy: Cy is now dragging Myles up to his own feet, and mustering up the strength to hoist the champion over his own shoulders here as he’s looking to put a definitive end to this match to this match & become the new World Heavyweight Champion… CY HENDERSON SEEKS OUT THE ‘RISING TIDE’—

Flannery McCoy: BUT MYLES FIXES HIS POSITIONING RIGHT ONTO CY & NAILS A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!!! THE SUDDEN DOUBLE FOOT STOMP CAVES INTO THE CHEST OF CY HENDERSON! Cy is clutching his own chest almost immediately as Myles is now eagerly crawling himself over to the ropes! He’s dragging himself up & now Cy’s down for the moment!!! Myles is able to return back to his own feet as he sees Cy slowly but surely returning to his stance here! As Henderson is turning himself around, Myles is able to HOIST CY UP & STRIKE HIM SQUARE ACROSS THE JAW WITH ‘VICTORIA’!!!

Jake Mercer: THE POP-UP KNEE CATCHES CY WITH AUTHORITY AS HE DROPS DOWN TO THE MAT! Myles is trying to exact any shred of an advantage but you can certainly see the toll that this match is taking on him right about now! Cy is slowly rolling away, trying to keep as much of a distance from Myles as possible in order to regain any sense of recovery—BUT MYLES WITH A SECOND ‘DRACO METEOR’!!! NOW HE’S ABLE TO GRAB A HOLD OF CY WHILE HE’S OUT OF IT, AND BRING HIM BACK UP….

Stew-O: TO PUT HIM DOWN WITH ‘DE FACTO’!!!! MYLES DOES IT!!!! He’s struggling to motion himself toward Cy as—WHAT THE HELL?!?!? CY IS STILL CONSCIOUS!!! HIS LAST SHRED OF STRENGTH IS KEEPING HIM FROM REMAINING ON THE MAT COMPLETELY! MYLES SHAKES HIS OWN HEAD VIGOROUSLY AS HE CANNOT ALLOW CY TO REGAIN ANY MEASURE OF CONTROL WHATSOEVER HERE! MYLES WITH A HOLD OF CY’S WRIST… PULLS HIM DIRECTLY INTO—

Flannery McCoy: ‘DE FACTO’ ONCE MORE!!! CY IS LAID OUT AS MYLES EAGERLY DRAPES HIS ARM OVER HENDERSON! COVER MADE!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… AND STILLLLLLLL WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION… MYLES!!!

Jake Mercer: My god, hell of a match to witness out there between two elitists who were doing all they could to come out on top with the gold! Cy Henderson was giving quite the beatdown and Myles retaliated however he could, resulting in the much needed offense at the end there to finally put Cy down for good!

Stew-O: Cy seeked out going into Territorial Invasion & leading his own squad with the gold, but in the end, Myles will head into the event with his own title still held close! After an extremely hard fought bout, congratulations… to Myles! Thank you for joining us tonight, and see you at Territorial Invasion!

(‘Enemy Strike’ can be heard blaring throughout the speakers as Myles is given his World Heavyweight Championship, with his arm raised by the referee. Myles breathes heavily and leans against the corner after the match, looking down upon his own title as Cy sits himself against the ropes, recuperating while left with a slight smirk as if to hide the lingering disappointment, with the scene fading from there.)
