( EAW intro plays. )
( The viewing audience is treated to a full recap of Road to Redemption. New Breed Champion, Jon Kelton, Interwire Champion, Andre Walker, and Hardcore Champion, Limmy Monaghan, are seen retaining their championships against the likes of Jay Jerry Johnson, Solomon Stane, and Sierra. Harper Lee is shown winning her first ever singles championship. She would defeat Miku Sakai in an incredible match for the Specialists Championship. Three major grudges were settled at Road to Redemption as well. Lisa Wren disposed of her former tag team partner, Kensi, while Candice Blair and her best friend, Danny Tanner, sent Alex Myers off to Dynasty burnt to a crisp. As for the third grudge match? Well, Cameron Ella Ava fought for her family and beat the hell out of New Eden member, Myles. While the match ended up with Cameron getting disqualified, she walked away from Road to Redemption having gotten exactly what she wanted. A showcase match featuring two of the top women wrestlers in EAW was one of the weekend’s biggest highlights. Former EAW Champion, Andrea Valentine, took on the rising star and someone poised to make waves in 2022, Dr. Bethany Blue. Andrea would pull off the win after a hard fought match, but Dr. Blue would leave the ring with absolutely nothing to hang her head about. As far as the marquee matches go? The Elimination Chambers certainly didn’t disappoint! Ms. Extreme, Kassidy Heart, and the Visual Prophet are seen successfully retaining their respective world championships inside of the Elimination Chambers. Then the shot goes to the Voltage chamber, which closed the entire event on Sunday night. After Drake King, the defending champion, spent the entire match working together with his stablemate, the National Elite Champion, Minerva, the two would go to leave the chamber together as promised. However, as Minerva tried to leave, Drake would grab her, scold her, and beat the absolute shit out of her. Myles, who was at ringside having kept Chris Elite from interfering, would go absolutely mad seeing his girlfriend trapped inside with Drake. Myles would break into the chamber and destroy Drake before ultimately crashing in the Cash in the Vault briefcase to become the brand new EAW World Champion. He would leave the belt with Drake, spit on him, and the final shot of Road to Redemption would be of Myles cradling Minerva in his arms as carried her away from the ring. )
( The recap fades out and the final show of 2022 opens up by showing a sold-out Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia. The crowd is on absolute fire, with this being the first EAW show they’ve been able to see live in a couple of years, and they make sure to show their love and appreciation for the men and women who have made the trip over. “Feliz Navidad” by Jose Feliciano is blasting through the speakers and once it fades, a ton of green and red pyro shoot off. When the smoke clears, the shot centers on the stage where EAW Hall of Famer and Performance Center trainer, Sabina, is standing! She looks great in a red sequined mini-dress and there is a big smile across her face. )
Sabina: WELCOME EVERYONE TO AN AUSSIE SUMMER CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR!
( Huge pop from the crowd who start to chant ‘E-A-DUB! E-A-DUB!’. )
Sabina: We have an absolutely huge card tonight that quite frankly needs no introduction. Hall of Famers, world champions, and future greats will all be in action tonight as EAW looks to close out 2021 in style. In addition to that, the EAW year end awards will be handed out! I can’t wait to see who wins Male and Female Elitist of the Year, so you know what? I don’t think we should wait. Let’s jump right in with the first match of the night!
( The crowd already knows what the first match is going to be and they go absolutely berserk.)
( “Rockstar” by N.E.R.D begins to blast across the PA system and the crowd immediately dissolves into a chorus of boos. Standing inside the ring is Dynasty ring announcer, Stephie Love. )
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST… BEING ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY ALBERT HITCHMAN… FROM THE ISLE OF SAMOA… WEIGHING IN AT 245 POUNDS… HE IS THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION… ‘THE LAST KAISER’… ANDRE WALKER!!!!
( The crowd does not hide their disdain as one of Dynasty’s brightest stars begins to make his way to the ring, flanked by his mouthpiece. )
Stew-O: EAW Universe… we are kicking things off in style tonight! For weeks, Andre Walker was complaining about the apparent lack of competition that was stepping up to challenge him on Friday Night Dynasty, and ultimately, he decided to issue an open challenge.
Gavin Kirkland: I’m not sure if he expected Ronn Banks to be the man who accepted it, but here we are. This match is going to be fire, and after the war of words these two got into this week, there is bound to be some bloodshed!
Persephone: You know? You really are a pretty shitty commentator, Gavin. It works much better when you have a nice pair of tits and ass to lust over, while throwing in some semi intelligent remarks every now and then.
Gavin Kirkland: :will: This match definitely isn’t my cup of tea but it’s exciting nevertheless. Tonight, Ronn Banks will step inside the ring for the first time since Pain for Pride 12!
( Andre is in the ring now and Hitch is beside him. The two talk over their strategy as the commentary team for this special event continue to banter. Eventually, Andre’s theme fades and is replaced with ‘Shock the World’ by Lloyd Banks. Once again, the crowd goes bananas, and when Ronn Banks walks onto the stage, Stephie’s voice is barely heard over the noise. )
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT… FROM NEWARK, NEW JERSEY… WEIGHING IN AT 220 POUNDS… HE IS ‘PLK’ RONN BANKS!!!!
( The ear-to-ear grin on Banks’ face is telling of how much this moment means to him. )
Stew-O: Honestly, this man really didn’t need an introduction. The whole world has been waiting for this moment! The second Ronn Banks walked out on Dynasty to accept Andre Walker’s challenge for this show, I have been excited!
Persephone: Really? Calm the fuck down, dude. If there’s one man who deserves a hyped up return it’s Re-
Stew-O: Listen, with all due respect, we’re not going to do that with this match. You will show Ronn Banks respect and I don’t want to hear you gushing about Rex McAllister.
Persephone: :mjcry:
Gavin Kirkland: I have to admit that I’m excited for this match too, and something tells me that Andre Walker might have bitten off more than he can chew.
( Banks takes his time hyping up the crowd. He’s savoring the moment and making Andre wait. As time continues to tick, Andre grows more impatient. Finally, Banks climbs down from the ropes and signals to the referee that he is ready for the match to begin. )
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Stew-O: ANDRE WALKER DOESN’T WASTE ANYTIME! HE STRIKES RONN BANKS IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A CLUBBING BLOW! BANKS STAGGERS FORWARD, CAUGHT OFF GUARD, AND AS HE TURNS AROUND HE SEES ANDRE CHARGING TOWARDS HIM!!!! ‘HUNGER ON THE HILLSIDE’!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THE SPEAR DOES NOT CONNECT!!!! BANKS DARTED OUT OF THE WAY AND ANDRE JUST CRASHED SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!!!! BANKS SEIZES THE OPPORTUNITY TO GRAB ANDRE WALKER AND ROLLS HIM UP FROM BEHIND!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEE-
Persephone: :mjlol2: THIS MATCH ALMOST LITERALLY ENDED WITH A FUCKING ROLL-UP!
Stew-O: Andre Walker has rolled to the outside of the ring and check out the look on the face of Albert Hitchman. He’s STUNNED right now.
Persephone: Considering his fucking meal ticket nearly lost in record time, the fuck do you expect? All that bitching about lack of competition and dude really nearly ended the year with egg on his face. HILARIOUS!
Gavin Kirkland: LOOK! LOOK! BANKS HAS GONE TO THE TOP! HITCHMAN NOTICES AND ANDRE WHIRLS AROUND! BANKS GIVES THEM BOTH A SARCASTIC WAVE AND TAKES FLIGHT! SUICIDE DIVE! BANKS TAKES THEM BOTH OUT AND HE’S GOT ANDRE PINNED TO THE GROUND! RIGHTS AND LEFTS CONNECT ON THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION! ANDRE COVERS UP BUT BANKS IS JUST TOYING WITH HIM RIGHT NOW! BANKS WITH A FINAL RIGHT AND HE ROLLS OFF ANDRE! THIS SOLD-OUT CROWD IS GOING ABSOLUTELY NUTS FOR EAW’S FOUNDING FATHER RIGHT NOW AND RIGHTFULLY SO! WITHOUT THIS MAN, NONE OF US WOULD BE WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW!
Persephone: Okay, calm down fan boy. Didn’t he leave for like seven years or something and put the company in the wrong hands?
Stew-O: Regardless, when Banks returned to EAW, he went above and beyond to make sure he fixed the mistakes made in the past. This company is better than it’s ever been before, and it’s because of that man’s commitment to changing the culture.
Gavin Kirkland: Banks is helping Walker up and he levels him with a forearm! Andre attempts to fight back, but Banks blocks the shot, kicks Andre in the stomach, and he grabs him by the hair! Banks slams Andre’s face off the hardest part of the ring and he rolls him back inside. Banks dives back into the ring and goes for another cover!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: Kick out by Andre!!!!
Stew-O: Banks quickly grabs Andre in a headlock and keeps him grounded. Hitch is back up and he is pounding on the mat, desperately trying to get his client back into this match. Andre made a huge mistake to start this match off and he’s been paying for it ever since. To his credit, ‘The Last Kaiser’ is hanging in there. He is trying to work his way back to his feet. He’s got the size and power advantage over Banks-
Persephone: And youth since Banks is like 600 years old.
Stew-O: :mjlol: Yes, and he is younger, but in wrestling, experience matters. Banks has plenty of these big matches under his belt, and this is nothing new for him. Andre Walker can’t say that.
Gavin Kirkland: Both men make it back up and it’s Andre who ends up elbowing his way free. He ducks a lariat by Banks, but Banks doesn’t allow him the takedown! Banks quickly gets Andre from behind, but Andre is able to avoid the German suplex by hitting Banks with an elbow! Andre runs the ropes and takes Banks down with a clothesline!!!! Andre snatches his opponent up by the hair but Banks fires back with a forearm! Andre pulls Banks into a side headlock but Banks works his way out of it, and initiates a collar and elbow tie-up! Both men are trying their damndest to get the upper hand, and it’s Andre who backs Banks against the ropes. Banks forces his opponent into the corner, but Andre with a knee to the gut! Banks is slammed into the corner, and Andre with a massive forearm that connects flush across the jaw of Ronn Banks!
Persephone: Banks responds with a resounding slap that echoes throughout this entire arena! That absolutely enrages Andre and he grabs Banks by the neck! He hoists him up in the air but Banks maintains his composure and rains shot after shot down on Andre! Andre has no other choice but to let go of EAW’s founder and Banks makes him pay with a forearm shot that nearly knocks Andre off his feet!
Stew-O: Banks darts past the Interwire Champion, uses the ropes for momentum, and strikes Andre from behind with a clothesline! That drops Andre to his knees and Banks connects with a dropkick to the back of Andre’s head!
Gavin Kirkland: With Andre down, Banks drops to the mat! He looks for a side headlock, but Andre pushes up on his elbow and forces his free arm across Banks’ face! Neither man can keep the other one down at this point, and they return to a vertical base. Andre pushes Banks against the ropes, but Banks is able to break free! He tries to run the ropes but there’s Andre with a shoulder tackle takedown!
Stew-O: Andre immediately drops down for the cover, but Banks is kicking out before the referee can even get down. Andre drags him up and Banks catches him with an elbow! Banks runs the ropes once again and this time he’s the one knocking Andre down with a shoulder tackle! He elects not to go for the cover and goes for a leg drop, but Andre rolls out of the way! Banks grabs the back of his thigh and that gives Andre a target! Andre pops up and starts putting the boots to Banks! He stomps away at Banks’ torso, chest, and legs! He nails him in the ribs with several stiff kicks, and flips Banks onto his stomach! Andre with brutal stomps to that leg and now he’s picking up Banks! Andre hooks the leg and there’s a beautiful fisherman’s suplex! Andre with the cover!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTT-
Persephone: NOT YET, unfortunately.
Gavin Kirkland: Andre sits up BUT LOOK AT BANKS! HE SOMEHOW MANAGES TO CATCH ANDRE OFF GUARD AND HOOKS HIM WITH A CRUCIFIX STYLE PIN!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWW-
Stew-O: ANDRE KICKS OUT AND HE’S BACK TO HIS FEET! BANKS IS BACK UP AS WELL! ANDRE FLIES AT HIM WITH A BIG BOOT, BUT BANKS CATCHES THE FOOT AND SPINS HIM AROUND! HE ATTEMPTS A ROUNDHOUSE KICK, BUT ANDRE DUCKS! ANDRE DARTS FORWARD, LOOKING FOR THE QUICK TAKEDOWN, BUT DROP TOEHOLD BY BANKS! BANKS QUICKLY LOOKS A VARIATION OF THE CROSSFACE SUBMISSION, BUT ANDRE IS AT THE ROPES! THE REFEREE SCREAMS AT BANKS TO BREAK THE HOLD, AND ONCE HE DOES, ANDRE PULLS HIMSELF ONTO THE APRON! HE PULLS HIMSELF UP AND SEES BANKS CHARGING TOWARDS HIM! ANDRE IS ABLE TO DART BETWEEN THE ROPES AND CATCH BANKS IN THE GUT WITH HIS SHOULDER!!
Persephone: Andre is back in the ring and that’s a nasty knee strike he just landed! I hope Banks’ jaw is broken!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Andre Walker takes Ronn Banks and slams him into the corner! He absolutely destroys him with several shoulder thrusts to the stomach and follows up with a massive right hand that does even more damage to that jaw! Andre grabs Banks by the hair, props his own foot on the ropes, and slams Banks’ face off his knee!!
Stew-O: Andre drags Banks towards the other corner and he slams Banks’ face into the turnbuckles! He doesn’t bother to waste any time, knowing he has to stay on an opponent of Banks’ caliber at all times, and he whips him across the ring! Banks bounces off the ropes, but he ducks Andre’s clothesline attempt!!! Banks is able to jump up on the ropes and THERE’S A SPRINGBOARD BACK ELBOW!!!! The Interwire Champion is down!
Persephone: :mjlol: He really isn’t doing that well against this actual fucking dinosaur is he?
Stew-O: That back elbow caught Andre Walker right in the mouth and Banks grabs him by the legs! Andre is kicking the hell out of Banks in an attempt to defend himself, but Banks is trying to turn him over! Andre stretches and uses those long limbs of his to grab the ropes, and the referee tells Banks to let him go! Banks obliges but Andre takes the cheap shot! He catches Banks in the side of the head with a kick! Banks is momentarily stunned, and Andre throws himself at Banks! He grabs ahold of him and slings him through the ropes!
Gavin Kirkland: Banks crashes to the ground, landing hard on his right hip, and Andre has a look of complete disgust across his face. I don’t think he ever thought that this match would go this way.
Persephone: The referee has started the count, but Banks doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to get back in there. He’s holding his hip, which is so fucking old of him, and Andre isn’t going after him because he’s gotten his shit rocked for almost the entirety of this match. So are we really just gunna sit here and watch these two fucking bozos just stare at one another??
Stew-O: I highly doubt someone like Ronn Banks is going to let himself get counted out. He’s screwing around with Andre right now, who believes the entire world should operate on his time. When you are in the ring with someone like Banks, matches aren’t going to go the way you want them to go. They’re going to go the way he wants them to go, and Andre is going to have to understand that. After all, he basically begged for this match. He wasn’t satisfied with the caliber of competition he was getting, his words and something I don’t agree with quite frankly, and that’s why Banks stepped up. Andre might have bitten off more than he can chew this time around.
Gavin Kirkland: Banks has let the count reach eight, but he is back on the apron now. Andre goes to greet him, but Banks with a shoulder thrust through the ropes! He’s back inside the ring but Andre hits with a huge right hand! Banks fires back with a forearm, and these two are trading shots right now! Andre is the one who gets the advantage though! He strikes Banks right in the throat and sends him to the mat with a stiff right hand to the jaw! Banks is grabbing his jaw as he sits up and Andre kicks him right between the shoulderblades! Andre lands a kick to the side of Banks’ head and begins to stomp on the leg and hip again! Banks tries to roll onto the apron to put some distance between the two, but Andre grabs him and pulls him back into the center of the ring. He takes ahold of Banks’ injured leg, stomps on it a few times, and transitions into an absolutely beautiful single-leg crab!
Persephone: Banks is fighting through the pain, trying to reach the ropes, but Andre has that Samoan strength! He’s keeping them both right in the middle of the ring, and this old fool should just go ahead and give up now.
Stew-O: Not Ronn Banks :wow:. That’s not the type of competitor he is. He will fight until he has absolutely nothing left. That’s why he is forcing the issue right now! That’s why Andre looks so frustrated. The Interwire Champion knows that Banks is in a lot of pain right now, and he’s pissed Banks won’t give up. Meanwhile, Banks is just centimeters away from reaching the ropes and forcing a break! Can he get there??
Gavin Kirkland: HAND ON THE ROPES! Andre has to break! Banks pulls himself out of the ring and drops down to the ground! He’s certainly favoring that right leg at the moment.
( Banks has positioned himself against the ring steps while he tries to get some feeling back in his leg. Andre is resting on the ropes, looking down at Banks. The future world champion shakes his head, and finally slips out of the ring. )
Stew-O: Andre is stalking Banks right now, but like I said earlier, Banks has never been the type of man to back down. He forces himself up but eats a knee to the gut for his effort! Andre is dragging him towards our booth now and he bounces Banks face off our table! Banks is still able to defend himself! Andre takes an elbow to the jaw! Andre fires back with a kick to the hip that drops Banks down to a knee!
Gavin Kirkland: Andre takes a deep breath before he takes off running! He sprints around the ring and absolutely destroys Ronn with a running big boot to the face! Banks looks to be completely out of it but Andre doesn’t just throw him back in the ring and go for the pin! HE HOISTS BANKS UP IN THE POWERBOMB POSITION AND SLAMS HIM DOWN ON TOP OF THE RING STEPS!!!! BANKS GRABS AT HIS LOWER BACK BUT ANDRE PULLS HIM UP! HE HAS HIM IN POSITION FOR ANOTHER POWERBOMB!!! ANDRE WHIRLS AROUND, BANKS IS HIGH IN THE AIR, AND HE RUTHLESSLY POWERBOMBS BANKS INTO THE EDGE OF THE RING!!!! BANKS SLUMPS TO THE GROUND AND ANDRE BEGINS STOMPING ON HIM AGAIN!!!!!
Persephone: Andre FINALLY grabs the relic and tosses him back inside the ring! COVER ON BANKS!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHH-
Stew-O: KICK OUT BY BANKS!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Andre SLAMS Banks’ shoulders to the mat once again and hooks the leg for the cover!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOO-
Persephone: SHOULDER UP!!!
( Andre leans back on his haunches and brushes his hair out of his face. He doesn’t seem thrilled that Banks is refusing to die in this match. )
Stew-O: Banks is attempting to sit up but Andre wraps him up in a chinlock. I know he is looking to wear down Banks, which is smart, but I’m sure Banks still has a lot of fight left in him.
Persephone: You really been dick riding him all match long.
Stew-O: I’ve been around this company for a long time, and in my opinion, Banks has never gotten the respect he deserves; not as a performer and not as someone who changed the course of this business.
Gavin Kirkland: Andre pulls Banks up, attempting to whip him into the corner, but Banks puts the brakes on! He looks for an elbow but Andre ducks, slips behind Banks, and puts him down with a German suplex! Andre uses the hair to grab Banks and this time he does get him into the corner!
Persephone: ‘KAISER’S TOUCH’!!! THE SUPERMAN PUNCH CO-
Stew-O: BANKS GETS HIS FEET UP! ANDRE’S ATTEMPT AT KNOCKING HIM SENSELESS IS THWARTED AND BANKS QUICKLY SCRAMBLES TO THE TOP! HE WAITS UNTIL ANDRE REGAINS HIS BALANCE AND HE DIVES! SUICIDE DIVE TAKES ANDRE WALKER OFF HIS FEET! BANKS IS UP! HE’S GOT A BURST OF ADRENALINE AT THE MOMENT! HE’S PUTTING THE BOOTS TO ANDRE NOW, AND ‘THE LAST KAISER’ IS DEFENSELESS! BANKS PULLS HIM UP AND HE ATTEMPTS TO HOOK HIM! ANDRE MANAGES TO BLOCK THE SUPLEX ATTEMPT, BUT BANKS GRABS HIM BY THE NECK AND DRILLS HIM INTO THE MAT WITH THE ‘DEDEDE DDT’!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BANKS ELECTS NOT TO GO FOR THE COVER! HE PULLS ANDRE UP AND TOSSES HIM INTO THE CORNER! BANKS WITH A RUNNING, JUMPING CORNER CLOTHESLINE… FOLLOWED BY A MASSIVE UPPERCUT! HE BEGINS UNLOADING ON ANDRE! FOREARM AFTER FOREARM CONNECTS WITH ANDRE! BANKS IS STOMPING A HOLE INTO ANDRE’S MID-SECTION! HE FORCES HIM DOWN INTO A SITTING POSITION AND DRIVES HIS KNEE INTO ANDRE’S FACE!
Persephone: BANKS IS PULLING ANDRE UP AND HE NAILS HIM WITH ANOTHER EUROPEAN STYLE UPPERCUT! ANDRE’S HEAD SNAPS BACK AND BANKS QUICKLY JUMPS IN THE AIR, DRIVES HIS KNEES INTO ANDRE’S CHEST, AND BRINGS HIM CRASHING DOWN ONTO THE MAT! BANKS ROLLS OVER FOR THE COVER, BUT ANDRE’S FEET ARE IN THE ROPES!!!!
Stew-O: BANKS CORRECTS HIMSELF AND GRABS BOTH LEGS FOR THE COVER!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRR-
Gavin Kirkland: THE KING OF SAMOA KICKS OUT!!!!
Persephone: :mjlol: He’s such as fuck not royalty. The Isle of Samoa isn’t even real place :mjlol:
Stew-O: BANKS MOUNTS ANDRE AND ABSOLUTELY UNLOADS! HE HAMMERS AWAY AT ANDRE WALKER BEFORE ROLLING OFF AND BOUNCING UP TO HIS FEET! BANKS GRABS ANDRE AND IRISH WHIPS HIM INTO THE CORNER! SHINING WIZARD!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NO!!!! ANDRE GOT OUT OF THE WAY! BANKS CRASHES INTO THE TURNBUCKLES AND ANDRE ROLLS HIM UP FROM BEHIND! BANKS ROLLS THROUGH AND BOTH MEN ARE BACK TO THEIR FEET! ANDRE SEIZES THE ARM AND BANKS IS BROUGHT DOWN THANKS TO AN ARM DRAG!
Persephone: Andre with three massive forearms to the face of Ronn Banks before he grabs him and once again attempts to wear him down. How fucking boring.
Stew-O: Banks is a highly skilled mat wrestler in his own right and that’s why he is working on breaking the grip Andre has on him. He’s able to twist around and get to his knees, and that forces Andre into a standing position! Banks kicks at Andre’s knee which forces him to let go, and Banks catches him with a series of massive lefts and rights! Andre fends him off and fires back! He has been absolutely brutal with those forearm shots tonight! Banks fires back with an upper-cut, but Andre grabs a hold of Banks’ wrist, lifts him up, and there’s a Somoan drop! Andre lays across Banks for a rather lazy cover!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWW-
Gavin Kirkland: Absolutely not enough.
Persephone: :noah: Gawd hates me.
Stew-O: Andre Walker rolls his eyes, but again, what did he expect? This is Ronn Banks. This is not your average Elitist. I understand that Andre Walker wants to face the absolute best of the best, but you can’t expect to just beat the cream of the crop with half-assed covers like that :francis:
Gavin Kirkland: Ronn heads for the ropes, while Andre heads over to the corner to speak to Hitch. Like far be it for me to do real commentary, but when I have a match involving two dudes that aren’t Jamie O’Hara or Limommy, what other choice do I have? It doesn’t make any sense that Andre Walker isn’t going for the knockout blow right now.
Persephone: I mean he just smashed his fist into the ground. Isn’t that like his signal or something?
Gavin Kirkland: :oh: ‘KAISER’S TOUCH’!!!! ANDRE WALKER WITH THE SUPERMAN PUNCH!!!!
Stew-O: HOLY SHIT! BANKS JUST KNOCKED HIM RIGHT OUT OF THE AIR WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE! ANDRE CRASHES AND BURNS!!!! BANKS GRABS ANDRE UP AND HE’S LOOKING FOR ‘GO TO RETIREMENT’!!! ANDRE HAS ENOUGH WHEREWITHAL TO DROP TO HIS KNEES AND HE ROLLS RIGHT OUT OF THE RING!
Persephone: BANKS SLIPS TO THE OUTSIDE AND HE RACES AROUND THE RING! HE NAILS ANDRE IN THE BACK OF THE NECK WITH A CLOTHESLINE, GRABS HIM, AND RUNS HIM HEAD FIRST INTO THE STEEL RING STEPS!!!! ANDRE WALKER IS DOWN! BANKS KICKS HIM AND STOMPS ON HIM FOR A MOMENT BEFORE HE GRABS ANDRE UP AND STRIKES HIM WITH A HUGE UPPER-CUT! HE WHIPS ANDRE INTO THE RING POST AND THERE’S THE SHINING WIZARD!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: IT CONNECTS TO THE RING POST! ALBERT HITCHMAN PULLED ANDRE OUT OF THE WAY AND BANKS COLLIDED WITH THE RING POST! IT’S THE INJURED LEG FROM EARLIER AND NOW BANKS IS GRABBING AT HIS KNEE! HITCH IS SCREAMING AT ANDRE TO GET BACK INTO THE MATCH AND GET BANKS INTO THE RING! ANDRE PULLS BANKS UP AND ROLLS HIM INTO THE RING! THIS COULD BE THE OPENING ANDRE NEEDS TO PUT BANKS AWAY FOR GOOD!!!!
Stew-O: ANDRE SEES THAT BANKS IS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING UP SO HE ATTACKS HIM AND LOCKS IN A REAR NAKED CHOKE!!! BANKS IS TRAPPED! BANKS MIGHT HAVE TO TAP OUT!!!!
Persephone: :mjpls: I thought you said there was no quit in this guy???
Gavin Kirkland: ANDRE WALKER DOESN’T SEEM CONTENT TO JUST CHOKE OUT RONN BANKS! HE JUST SLAMMED HIM DOWN WITH AN OVERHEAD SUPLEX! HE WANTS TO HURT BANKS! ANDRE MAINTAINS CONTROL OF THE CHOKE, BUT BANKS THROWS HIS LEG TOWARDS THE ROPES! HE MANAGES TO HOOK HIS FOOT AROUND THE ROPES AND ANDRE IS FURIOUS! HE IS REFUSING TO BREAK AND THE REFEREE IS SCREAMING AT HIM! ANDRE IS FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW BUT HE FINALLY LETS GO! HE LOOKS TO GRAB BANKS, BUT BANKS IS ON THE APRON NOW! ANDRE REACHES THROUGH THE ROPES BUT BANKS WITH A RIGHT HAND! BANKS DRAGS HIMSELF UP, BAD LEG AND ALL, AND CLIMBS TO THE TOP! WE HAVE SEEN HIM TAKE A COUPLE OF RISKS TONIGHT AND IT SEEMS LIKE HE’S ABOUT TO TAKE ANOTHER ONE! HE STEADIES HIMSELF ON THE TOP RO-
Stew-O: ANDRE! ANDRE! ANDRE IS UP TOP NOW! HE IS HAMMERING AWAY ON BANKS! BANKS NEARLY SLIPS OFF THE TURNBUCKLES BUT HE SOMEHOW MANAGES TO CATCH HIMSELF! ANDRE IS BEATING THE HELL OUT OF HIM BUT BANKS CRACKS HIM ACROSS THE SKULL WITH A HEAD BUTT! BANKS WITH ANOTHER HEAD BUTT! ANDRE LIFTS BANKS UP AND HE DUMPS HIM ONTO THE APRON!!!! I HAVE NO IDEA HOW ANDRE FOUGHT THROUGH THOSE HEAD BUTTS TO DUMP BANKS ON THE APRON BUT HE DID, AND IT SEEMS LIKE THOSE SHOTS TOOK A TOIL ON HIM! THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION HAS SAT HIMSELF DOWN ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND HE’S SHAKING THE COBWEBS OUT!
Persephone: BUT BANKSASAURUS REX… Rex :mjcry:… THE FUCKING DINOSAUR, THE RELIC, THE GRANDPA… HE IS BACK IN THE RING! HE SCRAMBLES TO THE TOP WHERE ANDRE IS SITTING! HE PULLS ANDRE UP AND LOOKS FOR A SUPERPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! ANDRE BLOCKS IT! HE BLOCKS THE SUPERPLEX! HE HITS BANKS WITH A FLURRY OF CLUBBING BLOWS TO THE BACK BUT BANKS SHAKES THEM OFF! HOLY SHIT! DID HE JUST… OH SHIT!
Stew-O: WHAT??? BANKS WITH A TOP ROPE FRANKENSTEINER TO ANDRE WALKER!!!! ANDRE WALKER GOES FLYING ACROSS THE RING! BANKS WITH A RUNNING JUMPING MOONSAULT… WHAT??? THIS IS INSANE! BANKS LANDS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF ANDRE WALKER’S CHEST AND HE HOOKS THE LEGS… FOR THE COVER!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Persephone: ANDRE KICKS OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: How Banks was able to do that is beyond me, but it looks like he just got a shot of adrenaline and he’s ready to go! Andre looks shocked himself, mirroring the look on Albert’s face at ringside, but he doesn’t have much time to process it with Banks grabbing him by his arm and pulling him up to his feet! BANKS WINDING HIM UP AND LETTING HIM GO, SENDING HIM INTO A RIPCORD AND PULLING HIM RIGHT INTO ONE OF HIS TRADEMARK ROUNDHOUSE KICKS TO THE HEAD!
Stew-O: BUT ANDRE ISN’T GOING TO MAKE TWO MISTAKES IN ONE SITTING, GOING UNDER AND WRAPPING HIS ARMS AROUND THE WAIST OF BANKS BEFORE MUSCLING HIM UP AND SLAMMING HIM AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES! NOW LOOK AT ANDRE ABSOLUTELY TEEING OFF WITH SHOULDER THRUSTS TOWARDS THE ABDOMEN OF BANKS TRYING TO WEAKEN HIM, AND THEY’RE MOST DEFINITELY DOING WHAT’S INTENDED OF THEM RIGHT NOW!
Persephone: Careful, you might snap the fossil clean in half he probably already has back problems. But it looks like Andre is stopping his assault like the idiot he is before pushing Banks downwards into a seated position in the corner. Andre is stepping back and creating distance, BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A HUGE HESITATION DROPKICK TO THE HEAD OF BANKS!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT BANKS MANAGES TO FIND THE POWER VESSELED INSIDE OF HIM TO SNATCH THE BOTTOM ROPE AND QUICKLY PULL HIMSELF AWAY, WHICH LEAVES ANDRE TO COLLIDE AWKWARDLY WITH THE BOTTOM TURNBUCKLE! Andre is grabbing at his legs trying to haul himself back up to his feet… BEFORE BANKS STEPS FORWARD AND SENDS A BRUTAL FOREARM TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, WHICH HE FOLLOWS UP DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A REVERSE NECKBREAKER!
Stew-O: BUT LOOK, BANKS ISN’T DONE! HE’S IN THE PERFECT POSITION TO LOCK IN ‘THE BANK VAULT!’ ANACONDA VICE TO THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION! CAN HE CINCH IT JUST IN TIME!
Persephone: NO! THE FORMERLY WHITE MAN TAKES HIS KNEE AND SENDS IT INTO THE BACK OF ANDRE’S HEAD TO STUN HIM! Banks is forced to pull himself away from Andre while both get to their feet, BEFORE ANDRE FINALLY MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH ‘KAISER’S TOUCH!’ SUPERMAN PUNCH ACROSS THE OLD WRINKLY FACE OF RONN BANKS!
Gavin Kirkland: Well despite that, I don’t think the beautiful Samoan man is going for the pin! I think he wants to make sure a message is sent to Banks, that he should’ve never accepted the challenge Andre put out there in the first place! Andre turns around and begins to make his way towards the corner, crouching down and lying in wait while Albert makes his way towards him at ringside and begins to motivate him while Banks tries his best to heave himself up to his feet. It’s apparent that both of them have been through a lot in this match, and we seem to be reaching our end tonight with Andre having Banks right where he wants him!
Stew-O: BANKS IS UP! ANDRE IS SPRINTING TOWARDS HIM AT FULL SPEED! ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE!’ THE SPEAR CUTS BANKS RIGHT IN HALF, SIGNIFYING THE BEGINNING OF THE END!
Persephone: WAIT! BANKS MANAGES TO GRAB AHOLD OF HIM BEFORE THE SPEAR CAN CONNECT, POPPING HIM UP INTO THE AIR AND DRIVING HIM DOWN HEADFIRST WITH AN IMPALER DDT! ANDRE IS DOWN AND OUT WHILE BANKS SLOWLY ROLLS HIM ONTO HIS BACK AND GOES FOR THE PIN! PLEASE GOD, MAKE SURE THIS MATCH ENDS RIGHT NOW!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NOT! JUST! YET! ANDRE MANAGES TO KICK OUT JUST IN TIME!
( Banks manages to slowly help himself back up to a seated position, exasperated and tired from everything that he’s been through in this match, he’s eager to push through it, but at the same time he can’t help but question how much he has left in the tank. Meanwhile, the same can be said for Andre, who is despondent, staring at the ceiling of the arena. Albert is trying to rally him up, but it’s clear that he isn’t in it right now, and is only beginning to get a grasp of where he is while Banks plants himself up to a knee. )
Stew-O: Banks has a hold of Andre by his head, tugging him up to his feet realizing that there might not be another chance to capitalize like the one he has right now. But before Banks can do anything, Andre manages to send an uppercut to his jaw sending him back! Banks stumbles back, before shaking it off and responding with an elbow to his face completely taking Andre off guard! It’s clear despite everything, they’re going to do everything to make sure that this fight pushes on and a winner is decided!
Persephone: Ugh but this is boring, now they just slowed down because they’re tired, SACRIFICE YOUR WELL BEING ALREADY DAMN!
Gavin Kirkland: Well it looks like Andre is refusing to go down lightly, already beginning to unload on Banks with a barrage of forearm shots to his face taking him back! Banks is trying to hold on and absorb the shots to the best of his ability, but we know the type of damage that Andre can do, he’s absolutely relentless! Banks is forced to back up against the ropes while Andre grabs ahold of him and sends him to the ropes with an Irish whip, LAUNCHING INTO THE AIR AND NEARLY TAKING HIS HEAD OFF WITH A STIFF JUMPING CLOTHESLINE WHICH DROPS BANKS DOWN TO THE MAT!
Stew-O: Banks is down as you know that the only thing that Andre wants to do right now is keep the ball rolling and make sure the momentum is in his corner. Andre grabbing a hold of Banks and setting him up, BEFORE RUNNING HIM FORWARD AND THROWING HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST! ANDRE ISN’T DONE THOUGH, PULLING HIM OUT OF THE CORNER, BEFORE SLAMMING HIM INTO THE RINGPOST ONCE AGAIN! ANDRE IS ABSOLUTELY RUTHLESS RIGHT NOW!
Persephone: Keep going! Keep going! You might damage something important and then we’ll have to cut his arm right off! I have high expectations of course, but I have a lust for violence and I do want to see some amputation :drakelike:.
Gavin Kirkland: ANDRE GOING FOR ANOTHER, BUT BANKS BEGINS TO SEND ELBOWS TOWARDS THE ABDOMEN OF ANDRE FORCING HIM TO SEPARATE THE TWO OF THEM! BANKS GOING FOR A CLOTHESLINE! BUT ANDRE DUCKS UNDER AND GRABS BANKS BY HIS HEAD BEFORE SENDING A KNEE TO THE ABDOMEN! BANKS DROPS DOWN, WHILE ANDRE LOOKS TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY AND GO FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE HEAD OF BANKS!
Stew-O: BUT BANKS MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT AND GRAB AHOLD OF ANDRE’S LEG, BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A DRAGON SCREW! BANKS MANAGES TO TAKE HIM DOWN WHILE HE IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TO CLIMB UP TO THE TOP ROPE WITH EVERYTHING THAT HE HAS LEFT, BANKS GOING FOR ‘FLYING DRACO!’ THE ELBOW DROP LANDING FLUSH ONTO THE CHEST OF ANDRE WALKER!
Persephone: BUT ANDRE WAS PLAYING POSSUM! ANDRE POPPING HIM UP TO HIS FEET BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ‘KAISER’S TOUCH!’ THE SUPERMAN PUNCH CATCHES BANKS IN MIDAIR AND DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!
Gavin Kirkland: BANKS IS TRYING HIS BEST TO GET UP BUT HE’S ON SPAGHETTI LEGS AS ANDRE TURNS AROUND AND RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK, GOING FOR THE TANDEM COUP DE GRACE! ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE!’ SPEAR TO FINISH THIS MATCH FOR GOOD!
Stew-O: BANKS! BANKS! BANKS MANAGING TO GO UNDER AND LET ANDRE FALL RIGHT INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY! HE’S ABOUT TO HIT IT! HE’S SO CLOSE! ‘GO TO RETIREMENT!’ THE FIREMAN’S CARRY KNEE STRIKE CONNECTS FLUSH AGAINST THE FACE OF ANDRE COMPLETELY SLUMPING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! BANKS COLLAPSES DOWN TO THE CANVAS, ANDRE’S SHOULDERS DOWN TO THE MAT! PIN ATTEMPT! WILL THIS BE IT RIGHT HERE?!
OOONNNEEE!!!

( DING! DING! DING! )
( ‘Shock The World’ once again begins to play up to the roar of the EAW Universe in ceremonious celebration. Ronn Banks is seen pulling himself off of the corpse of Andre Walker with a pained expression on his face, trying his best to shake off the agony that he has to be going through right now. The referee makes their way over and checks on him, before beginning to help him up to his feet while Banks gets his hand raised high in glorious victory. )
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… RONN BANKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: Ugh, well, I guess the decrepit bozo did it. He shut up Andre and proved that he ain’t the shit and came out on top, I don’t know why I’m so mad that he won because I couldn’t give a shit about either of them, but I just am.
Gavin Kirkland: What a performance from Banks this evening, he certainly showed everyone in the back and everyone watching this match that he still has what it takes especially in this day and age! Of course it wasn’t as easy as he anticipated it, with Andre standing in the way of that, but Banks just accumulated one hell of a win and that was one hell of a lesson to be learned when it comes to someone like Andre.
Stew-O: Banks told Andre that everyone, no matter who it is, has something to learn even if you’re a high and mighty individual like Andre. And although Andre didn’t listen then, I bet he’s listening now! What a match, what an opener, and congratulations to Banks!
( Banks is up on the top rope now, raising his arms high in the air before looking at his opposition. Andre is seen being helped up at ringside by Albert Hitchman, and he looks absolutely pissed. Both of them are dejected and unhappy as they make their way up the ramp, not even laying their eyes on Banks for a second while Banks simply just smirks and continues his celebration. It’s the last shot seen before An Aussie Summer Christmas Spectacular then begins to fade to elsewhere from there. )
( A promotional ad for the next EAW big event plays. Catch King of Elite… February 5th – 6th live and only on free-per-view! )
(The camera fades to the stage, and the crowd cheers loudly as EAW legend Sabina is seen with a microphone, standing at a podium. She has a smile on her face, and as the crowd quiets down she begins to speak.)
Sabina: Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to share our winners for this year’s “End of the Year” Awards. We have a lot to get through, but our first award for tonight is the “Shocking Moment of the Year”! Here are the nominees!
(The camera transitions to a graphic saying ‘Shocking Moment of the Year’ along with the nominees:
– Chris Elite using the Gawd Contract to restart the match at Wicked Games
– Drake King retiring Malcolm Jones
– Ms Extreme interfering in the New Eden vs Justin Windgate and Donovan Duke match to give them control of Voltage
– Harper Lee turning on Sierra Bradford
– Andre Walker defeating Mr. DEDEDE at King of Elite
– Ronn Banks returning
– Mr. DEDEDE reinstating the Hardcore Championship
– Jamie O’Hara tapping out at Pain for Pride)
(The camera fades back to Sabina, and she’s seen holding an envelope in her hand. She remains quiet for a moment as she allows the crowd to cheer and get their feelings out, and finally she opens the envelope before reading what’s inside. Sabina looks back up, and from there she begins to speak.)
Sabina: The winner of the “Shocking Moment of the Year” award…… CHRIS ELITE USING THE GAWD CONTRACT TO RESTART THE MATCH AT WICKED GAMES!!!!
(The crowd immediately begins cheering loudly after hearing the winner, and not long after, ‘Invincible’ by Pop Smoke begins to play. Chris Elite slowly begins to walk out to the stage with a slight limp, still hurting from his match at Road to Redemption. He has on his in ring attire with a shirt over it in preparation of his Unified Tag Team Championship match later tonight, and he has a proud smirk on his face as he makes his way to the podium. Sabina hands Chris his award, before stepping aside, allowing Chris to walk up to the podium. Chris doesn’t take long at all to speak.)
Chris Elite: Honestly I already got what I wanted when I used that Gawd Contract back at Wicked Games, but shit I’ll take this, too. I don’t know why everyone forgot what the Gawd Contract is capable of or why I even have it in the first place, but I made it clear that I wasn’t leaving Wicked Games without my opportunity at the Unified Tag Team Championships, and if that meant giving y’all a reminder of what that contract is capable of, then so be it. People have been bitching and moaning since I first used that contract, but I really don’t care. I beat Ryan Adams years ago and with that I got the opportunity to use the Gawd Contract whenever I wanted to and however I wanted to, and that includes restarting matches to make sure it ends the way I want it to. At Wicked Games Jake and I lived up to our one promise. We promised that no matter what we were going to find our way to the Unified Tag Team Championships, and we did, didn’t we?
Chris Elite: Honestly, y’all shouldn’t have been this shocked in the first place. I spent way too long fighting to get another Championship around my waist to let an opportunity like this slip by me, so I wasn’t just gonna sit there and take the L when I know I have the power to get what I want. Say whatever y’all want, but at the end of the day I’m right where I want to be. I got the opportunity I said I’d get back when the tournament first started, and even with all the bullshit that’s been thrown at me from Jamie O’Hara getting injured to our initial loss at Wicked Games, we found a way to get ourselves in the title picture. There’s still another match to go though, so I’m not gonna let this award distract me from what’s really important tonight. This award is nice and all, but it’s gonna look a lot better when it’s next to a Unified Tag Team Championship.
Chris Elite: I’m gonna be walking into this match injured, and I get that and all, but I didn’t come all this way just to fucking lose. I won the Grand prix and I never got my shot at the Unified Tag Team Championships. Now I won the tag team turmoil and once again I’m suffering from an injury, but this time I can still compete. This time I’m not leaving my partner alone to fend for himself. This time I’m gonna actually fight for the tag titles, and I’m not losing. I promised that I was winning that tournament, and one way or another the Haircare Kings got the job done. We won that tournament and now we have the chance to win our first Championships in a while. Listen to what I’m saying now, ‘cause when y’all come back to this you’re gonna realize that I wasn’t lying. The Haircare Kings are gonna walk out of this match regardless of what type of condition we’re in. As long as we were able to have this match at all we were gonna win those titles, so Harlow and Xavier should’ve spent all of last week praying that we weren’t able to make it tonight. They should’ve spent the week praying that they’d be able to go without a title match tonight, because now? This award isn’t gonna be the only thing I leave this arena with.
(Chris Elite holds up his ‘Shocking Moment of the Year’ award, and ‘Invincible’ plays as the crowd begins cheering for the most part, clearly in support of Chris tonight. Chris doesn’t say anything else, beginning to make his way up the ramp as he knows how big of a match he has coming up tonight. From there, the camera begins to fade away from the area.)
(The camera fades back to ringside.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled FOR!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!
( ‘Swallowing the Rabbit Whole’ by Code Orange plays over the sound system of the arena as Shane Gates makes his way to the ring under the boos of the capacity crowd. He focuses on the ring ahead of him, as if the crowd wasn’t even there. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST! From Huntington Beach, California! Weighing in at 213 pounds. He is The Natural Born Killer! SHAAAAAAANE GAAAAAAAATES!!!
James Peters: Shane was not in action during Road to Redemption but he was on the winning end of a tag team with Jerry Jay Johnson on the Go Home Show, taking the measure of Mary S. Atlas and Lucas Johnson.
Rich Russillo: It was an interesting year, to say the least for this man who at one point had to fend off a supernatural Doll!
Persephone: Glad that freak show is over!
( ‘Bad Man’ by Blues Saraceno plays over the speakers of the arena as Shane’s opponent, Kirk Redwood makes his way to the ring looking straight at Gates with evil intentions. The smile on his face as he cracks his knuckles tells a story. )
Bella Braxton: AAAAAND HIS OPPONENT! From Boston, Massachusetts! Weighing in at 210 pounds. He is The Bastard Son; KIIIIIIRK REDWOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!
James Peters: This is Kirk’s first match in a while, on the Go Home show he was talking trash on commentary as he was watching his opponent tonight taking the win over the former New Breed Champion and the ever so vibrant Mary S. Atlas
Rich Russillo: He doesn’t on a regular basis, but no one can say that Kirk Redwood doesn’t step up when the time comes! He was part of some good competitive matches so far this season! 2022 is very promising for him.
Referee: RING THE BELL!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
James Peters: And Here We Go! This match is officially underway! This should be an interesting battle between two men who enjoy dishing out punishment upon their opponent! Now they are engaged in a physical battle after they mouthed off one another all week ahead of tonight’s confrontation! A clinch takes place in the center of the ring, both men struggle for dominance as the smaller Redwood manages to gradually push Gates to a corner to a point where both men are forced by the official to get separated. Kirk steps away slowly, arms to the side as if he was at gunpoint BEFORE BITCH SLAPPING SHANE GATES WHO LOOKS LIVID!!
Rich Russillo: Quickly he turns the table and shoves Kirk in the corner throwing in a series of punches before Kirk stops him dead with one stiff European uppercut! Shane is reeling backward AND REDWOOD LEAPS WITH A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE!! This got the 6 feet 3 Gates to stumble! He goes down with a leg sweep right after a short series of kicks to the shin! Gates dropped like a tree quickly taken down! Shane is under attack by Kirk who now is down to a knee and throws elbows at his opponent! Shane rolls now atop of Redwood returning the favor a few good times before both men rolls and gets to a vertical base!
James Peters: Kirk is going for an uppercut BUT is blocked by Shane who whips him into the ropes! Shane hits the deck while Kirk hops over him and into the ropes! CLOTHESLINE BY GATES! Kirk is down but quickly gets up only to be greeted by another clothesline! Followed by a third! He nails Kirk down with a fourth the man just keeps getting up each time AND A PELE KICK BY SHANE GATES THIS TIME REDWOOD STAYS DOWN LONGER FOLLOWING A BEAUTIFULLY EXECUTED PELE KICK! Quick cover by Shane!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Persephone: And Kirk with the shoulder up. COME ON GATES! TOO SOON!
Rich Russillo: I think he meant that as a message to his opponent showing he can take him down at any time. Gates is smirking as he now stands to his feet while Redwood doesn’t seem too happy, Gates moves behind Kirk and GRABS HIM! HE’S THROWING HIM BACKWARDS WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!!
Crowd: ONE!!!
James Peters: Gates is already standing behind Kirk primed for number two! He hugs Kirk tightly BUT gets a few elbows to the temple for his trouble! Kirk doesn’t want to go for a suplex ride again so soon and he turns quickly to face Shane and switches from elbows to fists throwing at full force against his opponent those stiff slaps that get Gates to the nearest corner! Redwood presses the offensive forth with another European uppercut! Gates has his back against the turnbuckle as Kirk rushes to the opposite corner and then charges into Gates with a Running Uppercut! He grabs Shane into a headlock, he runs! BULLDOG!! COVER BY KIRK!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Persephone: Really, a kick out?
James Peters: Kirk Redwood now pulling Shane up, BUT THERE’S TAKING DOWN KIRK WITH A JAPANESE ARM DRAG OUT OF NOWHERE! He throws a few fists to Kirk’s face before locking up! He tries for a brainbuster but Kirk blocks it into a neck breaker variation but both men get back up to their feet AND SHANE LIFTS KIRK UP ANYWAY! BRAINBUSTEEEEEEEER!!! DOWN GOES REDWOOD!! Shane keeps holding on to Kirk however and he forces back to his feet! What is he doing? Wise gripping Kirk’s head HE GOES FOR A FACEBREAKER DDT!!!!! IT CONNECTS!! DOWN GOES KIRK REDWOOD!! SHANE GATES WITH THE COVER!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Rich Russillo: And Kirk lifts the shoulder up! This match is picking up in intensity folks we are LIVE from the Qudos Arena in Sidney Australia for the Aussie Christmas Special! Both men would love to leave tonight’s event with the gift of victory to conclude 2021 on a good note and Shane is in command right now!
James Peters: Gates looks at the crowd who boos him he doesn’t seem bothered at all by the lack of love he receives from the capacity crowd here in Sidney!
Persephone: Is this man even able to love? Not that I give a fuck.
James Peters: Kirk gets picked up by Shane HE THROWS THE THUMB TO THE EYES OF SHANE WHO BACKS OFF! The official warns Kirk who rolls his eyes before moving past the referee and throws a double ax handle to his opponent who is down to a knee now! He gets Shane up, grabbing hold he flips him with a crisp snap suplex! Gates is on his back but is brought up to stand as Redwood sets him up for a German Suplex of his own!
Crowd: ONE!!!
Rich Russillo: Kirk quickly moves to set Gates for a second German and he has more luck than Shane had when he tries for the pair earlier on! Down Goes Shane Again!
Crowd: TWO!!!
Rich Russillo: Kirk seems to want to go for a hat trick as he sets up Shane again! He flips the man BUT GATES LANDS ON HIS FEET! KIRK LANDS ON HIS BACK AS INTENDED AND GETS UP ONLY TO BE MET BY ANOTHER PELE KICK BY SHANE GATES! REDWOOD GOES DOWN! He stumbles his way up this hit to the head wasn’t good for his equilibrium AND GETS LIFTS REDWOOD OVER HIS HEAD!! HE GOT HIM INTO A GORILLA PRESS POSITION!! We all know what comes next from this display of power from Shane: SPINEBUSTEEEEEEEEEER!!! REDWOOD IS DOWN AND SHANE STAYS ON ONE KNEE! The effect of the pair of German Suplexes moments ago still felt on him it seems!
Persephone: Would be smart to try a pin right about now!
James Peters: But is he able to? Shane is shaking the cobwebs out and finally goes to Kirk who kicks him quickly in the midsection! He sets him up for a Northern Lights Suplex! IT CONNECTS! DOWN GOES GATES! Kirk isn’t done, Redwood moves for a Back Suplex leaving Shane in a world of pain as Redwood gets the cheers from the crowd at this point in the match! This has been a good back and forth between both belligerent there is no clear advantage between the two at the moment!
Rich Russillo: Kirk is taking his attention back towards Shane who makes him pay for his lack of focus with a hard elbow to the ribs forcing Redwood to lean forward! Gates moves to the side of Kirk and grabs his hips! HE GOES FOR THE GUTBUSTER DROP!! IT WORKS! KIRK IS DOWN FROM THE SLAM! Shane is getting up quicker than Kirk could from the move he just took to the gut. Shane is poised ready to strike is he going for a superkick? HE WILL! HE DOES! IT CONNECTS RIGHT ON KIRK’S BUTTON! REDWOOD DROPS TO THE FLOOR! SHANE GATES HOOKS THE LEG!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: Dammit! Close!
James Peters: Perhaps but Kirk kicked out of the pinning predicament and this match will continue! Gates sighs but is not unphased as he throws a few punches from the side of Kirk and then moves and helps Redwood along. He throws him into the ropes, he throws an elbow in trying to drive it into Kirk’s skull but Redwood ducks to the side! He is right next to Shane! HE DELIVERS A SAITO SUPLEX! PERFECT EXECUTION! Both men fall but Kirk gets up with haste! He sneaks behind Shane, he hooks both his arms! TIGER SUPLEEEEEEEEX!!! SQUARE IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!! KIRK WITH THE COVER!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: Back and forth between the two of them!
Rich Russillo: And this match continues following Shane’s foot being seen by the official on the bottom rope. Kirk sigh but he shakes it off quickly as he picks up Shane moving him to his feet. He throws a few elbows to the side of the head before whipping the Natural Born Killer to the ropes! Kirk goes for a clothesline but Shane ducks low! He turns around quickly AND NAILS KIRK WITH A DROPKICK! Down goes Redwood! He gets up as quickly as he can, holding the side of his head which is the opening Shane needs to sneak behind him and go FOR A THIRD GERMAN SUPLEX!!
CROWD: THREEEEEE!!
Persephone: They are STILL keeping count? Christ!
James Peters: Fans around the world love themselves a good German Suplex! I can’t explain this phenomenon either Persephone.
Persephone: Whatever.
James Peters: Back inside the squared circle the action continues as Shane tries to gain some momentum over Kirk he is going for a fourth German BUT REDWOOD CIRCLES AROUND AND GETS HIS HANDS INTO A FULL NELSON POSITION OVER SHANE’S HEAD! DRAGOOOOOOOON SUPLEX!!! GATES LANDS ALMOST ON TOP OF HIS HEAD AND KIRK QUICKLY KNEES HIS WAY TO HIM AND GRABS AN ARM! HE GOES THE THE ARMBAR! THE SUBMISSION MOVE IS LOCKED IN! HE HAS SHANE GATES LOCKED IN! WILL HE BE ABLE TO GET GATES TO SUBMIT THIS WAY?
Persephone: NOPE!
Rich Russillo: Indeed! Because Shane just managed to snake his way to the ropes and grab on with his free hand before any more damage could be done to his other arm! Kirk lets go but keeps the hold applied a few seconds longer as allowed by the rules. Redwood lets go of Shane who instantly nurses his arm keeping it close to his chest as Redwood throws in some kicks to his chest and sides whine Gates is down! Redwood goes to the ropes trying for a clothesline while Gates is kneeled down BUT SHANE DROPS TO HIS BACK AND REDWOOD LANDS FLAT ON HIS FACE!! SHANE QUICKLY TURNS AND MOVES HIMSELF INTO A MUTA LOCK!! HE GOT HIS OWN SUBMISSION MOVE LOCKED IN!! BUT HE ISN’T ABLE TO HOLD IT AS EFFICIENTLY THANKS TO THAT ARMBAR JUST MOMENTS AGO! He lets go of one arm and switches position atop of Kirk!
Persephone: Chickenwing!!
James Peters: GATES MANAGES TO GET THE BRIDGING DOUBLE CHICKENWING LOCKED IN! HE HAS KIRK DOWN ON THE MAT GOOD THIS MATCH HAS TURNED TECHNICAL HERE FOLKS! SHANE SHIFTS POSITION WHICH FORCES KIRK’S SHOULDERS TO BE PINNED ON THE MAT!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
James Peters: AND REDWOOD WITH STRENGHT MANAGED TO MOVE SO A SHOULDER DOESN’T TOUCH THE MAT AND BREAKS THE OFFICIAL’S COUNT! Kirk gets to his knees, his arms still held by Gates who tries to keep the man down but Redwood gets to his legs and backs himself into a corner slamming Gates behind him! He throws a headbutt out of desperation! It connects and Gates lets go of Redwood who moves a few steps forward! Kirk loosens up a little and quickly does a leg sweep taking down the bigger Shane Gates and he goes atop of him! He aims for the softened arm of Shane!
Rich Russillo: HE GETS THE KIMURA LOCK IN!! THE KIMURA LOCK CAN END THIS RIGHT HERE IF SHANE DOESN’T FEND KIRK OFF AND HE MANAGES TO DO SO BY DRIVING A SERIES OF STIFF-LOOKING ELBOWS THE BONE ENDING AGAINST THE SKULL OF KIRK WHO LET’S GO AND MOVES OFF OF SHANE BUT NO! HE GOES FOR THE LEGS! THE KNEEBAR IS APPLIED ON SHANE!! BOTH MEN SHOWING THEIR TECHNICAL EXPERTISE RIGHT NOW BEFORE THE SOLD-OUT AUSTRALIAN CROWD AND GATES IS IN TROUBLE!!
James Peters: SHANE IS TRYING TO REACH THE NEAREST ROPES AND HE DOES! LUCK IS ON HIS SIDE TONIGHT ON THE ROPE BREAK FRONT!
Rich Russillo: This is something Kirk Redwood needs to be mindful of his location within the ring when applying submission manoeuvers they are no good if Shane is able to get easy access to the ropes like he does tonight! Shane is grabbing onto the ropes to get up to try and keep this fight on and hopefully win meanwhile Kirk is also vertical and goes to Shane throwing in a stiff Headbutt! Shane looks as though stars are spinning around his noggin’ as he throws in a punch that misses Kirk by a nautical mile! He grabs hold of Shane and takes him down WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! Shane is arching his back in pain holding it with an arm and Kirk is taking a crouched position not too far behind Shane. He is preparing for a move will it be the Blitzkrieg Bop?
James Peters: Shane is to his knees his back facing his opponent who charges forward! The knee lifts! IT CONNECTS TO THE BACK OF SHANE’S HEAD!! SHANE IS PUSHED HARSHLY AGAINST THE ROPES BE BARELY STANDS AGAINST THEM AND KIRK IS FIRED UP! HE MOVES BEHIND SHANE COCKING HIS WRIST AS IF HE WAS ARMING A WEAPON! HE’S READY FOR THE .50 CALL! HIS VERSION OF THE SUPERMAN PUNCH! SHANE IS SLOWLY TURNING AROUND! KIRK QUICKLY GOES TO THE OPPOSITE ROPES AND LEAPS! KABLAM!!! THE POINT FIFTY CAL CONNECTS!! SHANE GATES IS DOWN AND OUT!!
Rich Russillo: COVER BY KIRK! PERHAPS FOR THE WIN!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
…
…
Persephone: FINALLY!!
( DING! DING!! DING!!! )
( ‘Bad Man’ by Blues Saraceno plays over the speakers of the arena as Kirk gets one of his arms raised by the official to signal his victory under the mild cheers of the crowd. )
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your winner: KUUUUURT REDWOOOOOOD!!!!
James Peters: What a wonderful way to finish the year for Kirk who just picked up an impressive victory!
Rich Russillo: An incredible effort on both ends, Shane may have lost but he should take his effort tonight as a positive he has just as much a chance to win as Redwood tonight but it was not meant to be here in Sidney! We hope he rests well and we’ll see him early in 2022! Meanwhile, congratulations to Kirk Redwood for this hard-fought and well-earned victory tonight!
(Kirk Redwood continues to celebrate his victory as the camera fades away from the area.)
(The camera fades back to the podium, and the crowd cheers as Sabina is seen with the microphone.)
Sabina: Thank you for joining us tonight for another award nomination, this time for ‘Male Promoer of The Year!’ Of course, the nominees go as follows…
(The camera then transitions over to a graphic which shows the headline ‘Male Promoer of The Year’ which the nominees shown underneath:
– Mr. DEDEDE
– The Visual Prophet
– Impact
– Jamie O’Hara
– Xander Payne
– Drake King
– Myles
– Andre Walker
– Adam Lucas
– TLA.)
Sabina: And the winner is… THE VISUAL PROPHET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The crowd is partially in awe about the surprise winner for this year as ‘Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)’ by Jimi Hendrix begins to blast through the speakers of the arena to the thunderous cheers of the EAW Universe in attendance. It then goes to show The Visual Prophet strutting out from the backstage area with the World Heavyweight Championship resting on his shoulder. He charismatically makes his way over to the podium, despite being battered and bruised from the previous week, and is handed his award courtesy of Sabina. From there he places it on the podium, allowing the crowd to go quiet while ‘Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)’ begins to come to a close and Viz begins to speak from there.)
The Visual Prophet: They say you should give people their flowers while they are still alive to smell them. Tonight I receive another ruby red rose to add to my bouquet. Bountiful as it already is with awards, championships, trophies, and accomplishments…it grows every single time I’m put on an EAW card and everytime you see my face on an EAW show. This one Award in particular is for my work as a promoter. PROMOTER…not PROMOER as a few of the slower peers of mine refer to it. PROMOER is not a word. We promote shows. We sell fights. That is arguably the most important part of this craft; selling fights. Selling moments. Conveying the animosity we have with one another even if it doesn’t feel real.
The Visual Prophet: I can make you believe I want INSERT NAME to be eviscerated. I can make you truly think I want so-and-so’s entire bloodline to witness me rip their eyelids off their face and fling them into a crowd of ravenous fans like frisbees. I can also make you laugh with me or at me effortlessly. I can make the water swell in your eyes as I narrate through the tragedies that have befallen my career or this shared life we have with one another. Quick toast to the people I’ve slanders, obliterated, and made cry. My opponents. The elitists with which this award doesn’t exist. You can’t promo against nothing even if the person you’re facing is only a cm away from being nothing. Cheers. Lastly, being nominated for this award truly means I am every bit as good as I say I am.
The Visual Prophet: I say TBE and people act like I need five years or ten years to qualify this statement. I say it because I know it and unlike your Johnny Andrews, Limmy Monaghan, or even your Andre Walker’s of the world…I’ve proven it more than enough times to say it without anyone questioning it. Winning this award means every single person in EAW knows I am better than they can fathom. Not to say I won’t have my slumps, losses, or shortcomings. But 2020 and now 2021 will be reflective of my abilities and 2022 will be even more of a mirroring of those last two years. Take a good whiff…victory smells Grand. Sincerely yours…
(‘Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)’ then begins to play up once more while Viz raises both his award and the World Heavyweight Championship into the air with an enthusiastic smile on his face. He poses for the cameras with a smirk on his face before he settles down and begins to make his way towards the backstage area, which is the last shot seen before An Aussie Summer Christmas Spectacular then begins to fade to elsewhere as well.)
(As the camera turns backstage, Hurricane Hawk is walking through the back, occasionally stopping to speak to both the arena staff and some of the talent waiting for their matches.)
Voice: Hey Hawk, hold up man.
(Hawk turns and rolls his eyes seeing Ronan Malosi walking towards him, and speaks under his breath.)
Hurricane Hawk: I did something bad in a former life I swear.
(Ronan walks up with a smile on his face, stopping next to the General Manager.)
Ronan Malosi: Wonderful day wouldn’t you agree?
Hurricane Hawk: It was…
Ronan Malosi: Oh, come on, no need for hostility. I’d just like a nice, professional chat with you, that’s all.
Hurricane Hawk: That’s a first… and anyway where’s your back up?
Ronan Malosi: The boys? Oh, they are off doing their own thing. Thought this would be better just between the two of us. I wouldn’t want you feeling intimidated.
Hurricane Hawk: Intimidated? By them? I’ll admit they are good for comedic value, but intimidating? Please Ronan, give me a little more credit than that.
(Ronan is about to reply but Hawk cuts him off.)
Hurricane Hawk: I’m a busy man Ronan, just say what you want to say and then we can get on with our lives.
Ronan Malosi: Eager to get to business, I like that.
Hurricane Hawk: Not really, just don’t want to spend any more time with you than I have to.
Ronan looks annoyed for a moment, but then realizes what he is here for.
Ronan Malosi: I’ll let you have that one, seeing as we are remaining professional this week
Hurricane Hawk: So… what do you want?
(Ronan tries to hide any animosity he has for the General Manager, and puts on his most charismatic face.)
Ronan Malosi: This match tonight…
Hurricane Hawk: Here we go. This is getting really, REALLY old now Ronan.
Ronan Malosi: Now, hear me out. Everyone knows that Cage is a few digestives short of a packet, a sandwich short of a picnic, a…
Hurricane Hawk: I get it, carry on.
Ronan Malosi: Well, who knows what he will get up to if this match goes ahead. We all know what he is capable of, and the Aussie Spectacular is supposed to be showcasing, at least for Showdown, that we wrestle. Correct?
Hurricane Hawk: That is the idea yes, but you are testing that theory right now.
Ronan Malosi : So just imagine the reaction of our Kangaroo loving friends if he was to go too far and end up, luckily might I add, hurting the most popular WRESTLER on the Showdown brand right now. Honestly Hawk, I’m just thinking of you. Imagine the EAW board’s reaction to you allowing such a situation to take place.
(Hurricane Hawk stands there, nodding his head, seemingly agreeing with this statement.)
Hurricane Hawk: You know something Ronan, I didn’t think about that.
Ronan Malosi: I didn’t think you had boss
Hurricane Hawk: It’s a good thing that you brought this to my attention. Ronan, you may have just saved my job.
Ronan Malosi: I know right? All in a day’s work for the Showdown MVP.
(Hawk brings his hand up to his chin, rubbing it, pondering what Ronan has said.)
Ronan Malosi: So, the match is cancelled right?
Hurricane Hawk: I’ve got an idea
Ronan Malosi: I’m all ears.
(Hawk’s face changes to one of anger, Ronan’s visibly dropping)
Hurricane Hawk: How’s about you start realizing that you are an EAW Elitist, that WRESTLES on the Showdown brand, and stop trying to get out of your matches. I don’t know, perhaps win a few so that you can be in all these Championship matches that you believe you should be in by right.
Ronan Malosi: But…
(Hawk puts a finger up, stopping Ronan in his tracks.)
Hurricane Hawk: I’m not finished…
(In the arena we clearly hear a roar of approval from the crowd, which gets Ronan’s back up even more.)
Hurricane Hawk: You come to me ONCE more trying to get out of ANY match that you have been booked in, and I swear to you right now, I WILL fire you for reneging on the contract that YOU signed to be a competitor on Showdown, and I’ll give your place to someone more deserving. Are we clear Ronan?
Ronan Malosi: You can’t talk to me like this, I’m Ronan…
(Hurricane Hawk cuts him off again, once again bringing a roar from the crowd.)
Hurricane Hawk: I know exactly who you are Ronan, and that is the reason I am talking to you like this, in the hope that finally you understand, I’m in charge around here and you will do as you told. Or pay the consequences.
(Ronan stands there speechless, looking behind him then realizing he’d no brought his back up with him. In the arena, a ‘Hawk’ chant breaks out, which brings a smile to the General Managers face.)
Hurricane Hawk: You reap what you sow Ronan, and that is the reason you are facing Cage tonight. Because just like myself, he doesn’t want to see people like you drag our brands reputation down the toilet. Look at it this way though, there’s always a silver lining. After he kicks your ass tonight, which I am now turning into a Hardcore Rules match…..
Ronan Malosi: WAIT, WHAT!? WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT HOW WE WRESTLE….
Hurricane Hawk: That’s right and you have been questioning it the whole time, I’m giving you a chance to defeat Cage in his own style of match and have some real bragging rights and then? Ronan, you’ll still have an opportunity to win King of Elite 2021, when you compete on the very first Showdown of 2022… in the FIRST round.
Ronan: What? That’s unfair!
Hurricane Hawk: It is? That you are expected to compete and have a chance at something that so many others would kill for? Well maybe you should take that up with the General Manager.
He puts his hand to his mouth, mocking Malosi, before grinning from ear to ear.
Hurricane Hawk: Oh, hold on, that’s me… and I don’t give a crap. Have a good evening Ronan…
(Hawk walks past Ronan, the grin still not having left his face. Ronan just stands there in disbelief, his face going beetroot red as his anger overcomes him. The scene fades to ringside.)
(An Aussie Summer Christmas Spectacular fades back to the arena where Stephie Love is seen standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face ready to announce the next match.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Nothing Helps’ by ONE OK ROCK begins to blast through the speakers of the arena to loud cheers resonating from the crowd in response while the camera cuts to the stage to show Mary S. Atlas enthusiastically makes her way out from the backstage area. She waves her arms around while hyping up the crowd, taking a lap around the stage, just overall basking in the moment while she can. After a while, she then focuses on the ring and begins to make her way down the ramp from there.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… from St. Louis, Missouri… weighing in at 125 pounds… MOST WANTED… MARY S. ATLAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Recently Mary has had some issues on the Voltage brand, especially regarding her opponent tonight, Lucas Johnson. She believes that Lucas started this mishap that the two of them are having and if it wasn’t for him, then they wouldn’t need to settle this in the ring tonight. But alas, here we are, and Mary comes into this match determined to make sure she shuts him up tonight.
Gavin Kirkland: I doubt this gorgeous Elitist will have much of a problem doing so, she’s ready to get her hands dirty and do anything to make sure that it happens, and I like a feisty woman who can do just that!
Persephone: You’re no better than Lucas, God why do I have to commentate with YOU. I wouldn’t have minded commentating with Rich and James no matter how smooth-brained they are, but YOU?! This is like suicide at this point.
(‘Ready To Die’ by The Notorious B.I.G. begins to play up to deafening boos from the crowd upon seeing Lucas Johnson swiftly make his way out from the backstage area. He has a determined look on his face while he paces around the stage not wasting time with any sort of theatrics, it isn’t long that he then begins to make his way down the ramp and to the ring from there.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… from Long Island, New York… weighing in at 210 pounds… THE EMPEROR OF VIOLENCE… LUCAS JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: Speaking of, here comes the fucking pervert himself. God, he has to be so fucking ashamed of himself saying the shit he said this week towards Mary, even I feel sorry for the poor woman. Now imagine if she fucking loses to him too…
Stew-O: Lucas is as determined as ever heading into tonight and I’m sure the last thing he wants to happen is to be taken lightly by someone like Mary. He’s more ready than ever and he believes himself to be at the top of his game, and now is the chance to prove it here tonight.
Gavin Kirkland: It’s going to take a lot, but Lucas has managed to pull out some impressive wins in the past, and I’m sure he has no problem in believing that he’s going to do it again. He’s a man on a mission, and he’s going to make sure he has the perfect pathway to 2022.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go with this match underway- MARY RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE SPRINTING OUT OF HER CORNER AND SENDING A BRUTAL BOOT TO THE HEAD OF LUCAS SENDING HIM BACK! It’s apparent that Mary has been waiting for this moment a long time and is going to make sure Lucas remembers the beating that she gives him! Lucas is backed against the corner, while Mary takes a step forward and sends a brutal chop to his chest! Lucas stumbles out of the corner and dips down to a knee, BEFORE MARY RUNS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A BRUTAL BICYCLE KNEE TO HIS SKULL TO DROP HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Gavin Kirkland: Lucas instantly rolling out of the ring trying to get some breathing room before Mary can capitalize any further, but it looks like Mary isn’t going to take the time to wait for him, RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND BACK BEFORE SOARING TO THE OUTSIDE AND TAKING LUCAS DOWN WITH A TOPE SUICIDA! Lucas falls against the barricade trying to find a way to recover quickly, BUT IT’S MARY THAT LEAPS UP ONTO THE APRON AND SOARS OFF OF IT DROPPING LUCAS DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A MOONSAULT!
Persephone: You know, it’s embarrassing seeing Lucas getting his ass beat week by week against people that are 10 times smaller than him. It’s predictable, and it feels like we’re just wasting our time whenever we see his matches at the bottom of the card. I think I have a clue about how this match is going to go.
Stew-O: Lucas is dropped down to the mat as he tries to get himself back up to his feet, but Mary already has a hold of him and immediately slips him back into the ring while she rolls back in as well. Lucas is staggering up while Mary is keeping the momentum, running to the ropes and looking for something big! LEAPING OFF OF THE ROPES AND GOING FOR ANOTHER MOONSAULT THIS TIME IN THE FORM OF A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT IN HOPES OF CRUSHING LUCAS FROM ABOVE!
Gavin Kirkland: But Lucas manages to roll out of the way of that just in time! Mary grabs her abdomen while she rolls into a sitting position, BUT IS CAUGHT WITH A BRUTAL PENALTY KICK TO THE FACE BY LUCAS WHICH DROPS HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Lucas manages to get the offense back in his favor, and I don’t think he plans to let up now that he has it. Lucas grabbing Mary before pulling her back up to her feet, ABSOLUTELY MANHANDLING HER AND LAUNCHING HER INTO THE AIR WITH A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX WHICH DROPS HER RIGHT ONTO HER HEAD! THAT HAD TO HURT!
Stew-O: It’s all Lucas at the moment with him bringing Mary up before grabbing her by her arm and sending her to the ropes with an Irish whip, BEFORE MARY COUNTERS ATTEMPTING TO GO FOR A CLOTHESLINE! But it’s Lucas that manages to duck under that and grab hold of Mary just in time, BEFORE DROPPING HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH AN INVERTED DDT! Lucas is feeling it now while he gets back up to his feet and turns around to run to the ropes, LEAPING UP AND CONNECTING WITH A BRUTAL ELBOW DROP TO THE HEART OF MARY TAKING THE AIR OUT OF HER BODY ALONG WITH IT!
Persephone: Glad he’s making it count because this match is the closest he’ll ever get to touching her, fucking pervert.
Gavin Kirkland: Lucas is circling around now, taking a breather while he preys on Mary who is slowly getting back up to her feet trying to shake off Lucas’ sudden offense. BUT LUCAS SWOOPS IN AND GRABS AHOLD OF HER BEFORE LIFTING HER UP AND DROPPING HER DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS WITH A BACK SUPLEX! Lucas is continuing to pick apart Mary sporadically while she tries to retreat into the corner, BUT IT’S LUCAS THAT RUNS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A SHOULDER THRUST TO THE ABDOMEN! But Lucas isn’t done, KEEPING A HOLD OF HER BEFORE POPPING HER UP INTO THE AIR AND TAKING HER DOWN WITH AN EMPHATIC SPINEBUSTER! LUCAS WITH THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: But the cliche blonde idiot manages to get her shoulder up because heaven forbid she loses to Lucas Johnson when she has a choice!
Stew-O: Sure Mary kicked out, but let’s not gloss over the fact that Lucas has her right where he wants her. Lucas grabs Mary by her head before bringing her up to her feet, and connects with a swift uppercut to her jaw to send her back! Mary practically absorbs the blow trying to shake it off, WHILE LUCAS GOES FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF HER FACE! Which connects, but Mary continues to hold her ground in spite of that! Lucas looks enraged now, beginning to attack with a barrage of overhand punches to her neck, BEFORE SENDING A BOOT TO HER FACE! Mary is stunned, WHILE LUCAS REELS HIS ARM BACK AND GOES FOR A LARIAT!
Gavin Kirkland: WHICH MARY DUCKS UNDER BEFORE TAKING LUCAS DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH HER AND CINCHING IN A CROSSFACE! CROSSFACE LOCKED IN! Lucas is screaming in agony, stretching his free hand out and trying to find a way to escape out of the hold that Mary managed to lure him into! Who knows how Mary has the energy to push through after the onslaught courtesy of Lucas but her last gasp was a big one in this instance!
Stew-O: Lucas is trying to crawl as much as he can, but it doesn’t look like he can do much in this scenario! Lucas looks so close, but wait! Lucas uses the strength that he has left to flip Mary over him and slip himself out of the hold! Mary rolls to a knee, BEFORE LUCAS STEPS FORWARD AND GOES FOR A SUPERKICK TO HER JAW! BUT MARY SAW IT COMING MANAGING TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE GRABBING LUCAS BY HIS HEAD AND ROLLING HIM UP INTO A SMALL PACKAGE!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOOO!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT LUCAS KICKS OUT JUST IN TIME! Lucas scrambles up to a knee trying to regain some kind of ground, BEFORE MARY GOES FOR A SUPERKICK OF HER OWN! HEADSHOT ATTEMPT! But Lucas manages to grab the leg just in time, BEFORE PUSHING IT BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND AND SENDING A KNEE TO MARY’S FACE TO SEND HER BACK! Mary stumbles back, BEFORE STEPPING FORWARD AND GOING FOR AN AXE KICK! But Lucas manages to side-step, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A ROLLING ELBOW TO THE SIDE OF MARY’S HEAD WHICH SENDS HER DOWN TO THE MAT!
Persephone: God that was a rollercoaster of nausea and idiocy, glad to see it changed absolutely nothing about the pace of this match, fucking stupid.
Stew-O: Lucas falling against the ropes trying to keep himself upward, this match has taken a lot out of him so far but he’s managing to push through regardless. Lucas shakes his head while patiently lying in wait for Mary to get back up to her feet. Mary is trying to collect herself but it’s clear with the fatigue and everything she’s been through it’s going to be one hell of a challenge for her.
Gavin Kirkland: AND LUCAS IS ONLY AIMING TO MAKE IT WORSE BY TURNING ON HIS HEELS AND RUNNING TO THE ROPES, LUCAS GOING FOR THE LIGHT SWITCH! ROCKET KICK TO THE FACE OF MARY TO COMPLETELY TAKE HER OUT AND POSSIBLY SECURE HIMSELF THE VICTORY!
Persephone: Damn he missed and landed right on his ass, didn’t know you could describe every Lucas Johnson match in one phrase, but here we are.
Stew-O: Mary manages to collapse under it while Lucas tumbles down to the ground meeting nothing but air! Lucas stumbles up trying to find his ground, BEFORE BEING MET WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK TO THE FACE BY MARY! Lucas dips down to a knee, WHILE MARY RUNS TO THE ROPES AND LEAPS OFF OF THEM, GOING FOR CUTTER CULTURE! SPRINGBOARD CUTTER INCOMING TO ONE-UP LUCAS AND TAKE HIM DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT LUCAS! LUCAS MANAGING TO CATCH MARY IN MID-AIR WITH A BACKSTABBER! Mary flies into the air and tumbles down to the ground, not expecting Lucas to counter the way he did! Lucas is looking to capitalize as he grabs hold of Mary, BEFORE PLANTING HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH THE KILLSWITCH! THE FORWARD RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMPLETELY LEVELS MARY AS LUCAS ROLLS HER ONTO HER BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR A PIN ATTEMPT! COULD THIS BE IT?!
OOONNNEEE!!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEE-
Persephone: Unfortunately, this match continues with Mary kicking out…
Stew-O: Mary lives to fight another day and of course that’s something that just doesn’t sit well with Lucas at the moment. He knew that The Killswitch wouldn’t be the end all be all, but of course he isn’t happy with Mary continuing to fight. Lucas is beginning to bring himself up to his feet, kicking Mary while she’s down trying to soften her up so he can continue his assault! Of course, that’s not stopping Mary though as she’s slowly beginning to gain her bearings and find a footing while Lucas is practically toying around with her. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S HAD ENOUGH OF HER PERSISTENCE, GRABBING AHOLD OF HER HEAD BEFORE LIFTING HER UP AND GOING FOR A VERTICAL SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: But before anything else can happen, Mary manages to land behind him! Lucas clearly realizes that something is wrong while Mary catches her breath, BEFORE SLIDING DOWNWARDS AND DROPPING LUCAS WITH A QUICK CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF HIS KNEECAP! Lucas is wounded while Mary sprints forward and runs to the ropes and back, BEFORE LAUNCHING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A BEAUTIFUL BICYCLE KNEE TO THE FACE OF LUCAS WHICH COMPLETELY DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS IN RETURN!
Stew-O: Lucas is down on the mat and his eyes see it all, he knows the type of trouble he’s in if he lets Mary get more offense in than he wants her to. BUT MARY IS ALREADY RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND BACK, BEFORE LAUNCHING INTO THE AIR AND DROPPING A KNEE RIGHT AGAINST THE HEAD OF LUCAS WHICH COMPLETELY STUNS HIM! Lucas stumbling up and backward towards the corner which leaves him in a perfect position, FOR MARY TO RUN FORWARD AND LEAP INTO THE AIR SENDING A KNEE STRIKE TO HIS HEAD COMPLETELY DAZING HIM IN THE PROCESS!
Gavin Kirkland: Mary grabbing Lucas and throwing him down towards the center of the ring, turning around and beginning to climb up to the top rope while Lucas tries to collect himself to the best of his ability, Mary is setting him up! BEFORE LAUNCHING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND TAKING LUCAS DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A CROSSBODY! Lucas is down on the mat but he’s quickly getting up realizing the type of danger that he finds himself in at the moment, BUT HE ONLY FALLS INTO MARY RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND BACK BEFORE EXECUTING A SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK WHICH ONCE AGAIN DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! MARY IS ON FIRE RIGHT NOW!
Persephone: I hope she doesn’t keep this fire up for much longer, we got places to be woman and I don’t think we want to see you here wrestling against Lucas Johnson of all people!
Stew-O: Well Persephone I think your prayers might be answered, with Lucas slowly rising up to his feet it looks like Mary is patiently waiting for him so she can execute something! MARY RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR 9 MILES TOWARDS A CORNERED LUCAS JOHNSON! THE HELLUVA KICK TO COMPLETELY TAKE HIS HEAD CLEAN OFF!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT LUCAS MANAGES TO COUNTER THAT, MANAGING TO ESCAPE BEFORE GRABBING HER BY HER HEAD AND DROPPING HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A BRUTAL SLEEPER SUPLEX! LUCAS IS BACK IN THIS MATCH RIGHT NOW AND I DON’T THINK ANYONE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP HIM!
Stew-O: Lucas falls against the corner, turning around knowing this is exactly the chance he needs to close the curtains on this match. You can see it in his eyes, this match has gone long enough and he’s grown inpatient, he didn’t expect Mary to persist as far as she has but here we are! Lucas is looking to initiate the killing blow, GOING FOR THE FINAL CALL! PUNT KICK TO THE FACE OF MARY TO KNOCK HER OUT COLD!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MARY MANAGES TO GRAB A HOLD OF LUCAS’ LEG AND DROP HIM DOWN FACE FIRST WITH A DROP TOE HOLD! Lucas faceplants the ground while he staggers up to his feet, he definitely expected to connect with that flush against the face of Mary, but it looks like Mary has other plans! MARY RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR WELCOME TO MARYLAND! THE DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER TO FINISH THE JOB AND GET LUCAS PRIMED AND READY FOR THE PIN!
Stew-O: BUT LUCAS! LUCAS MANAGING TO KEEP MARY UP BEFORE POPPING HER UP INTO THE AIR AND SLAMMING HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Mary grabs her abdomen while she tries to get up, but I don’t think she sees Lucas lurking from a distance, waiting for Mary patiently to get back up to her feet! LUCAS WITH FALL AND PRAY! THE REAR NAKED CHOKE LOCKED IN ON MARY!
Persephone: What a horrible name for a finisher and coincidence in this scenario seeing as though this perv has been trying to get up her skirt for the longest time now.
Gavin Kirkland: MARY IS TRYING HER BEST TO ESCAPE BUT LUCAS HAS THE HOLD LOCKED IN TIGHT, IF HE MANAGES TO BRING MARY DOWN TO THE GROUND IT MIGHT JUST BE NIGHT NIGHT FOR HER! BUT MARY IS TRYING HER BEST TO FIGHT BACK ATTEMPTING TO KEEP HERSELF UP IN A VERTICAL BASE, BUT LUCAS IS RELENTLESS AND IS DROPPING ALL HIS WEIGHT IN HOPES OF TAKING HER DOWN WHERE HIS FINISHING MANEUVER CAN BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE!
Stew-O: AND HE DOES! HE MANAGES TO BRING MARY DOWN TO THE GROUND WHILE SHE DESPERATELY TRIES TO SWING HER ARMS AROUND, BUT LUCAS ALREADY HAS HIS LEGS WRAPPED AROUND HER AS THE HOLD IS FULLY LOCKED IN! MARY IS TRYING HER BEST AND SHE WON’T GIVE UP UNLESS SHE HAS TO, BUT GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH LONGER SHE HAS UNTIL SHE GIVES INTO THE AGONY THAT SHE’S BEEN THROUGH! LUCAS IS SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS TRYING TO GET MARY TO TAP OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: AND SHE DOES! MARY TAPS! MARY TAPS OUT!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Ready To Die’ once again begins to play up to loud boos being aimed towards Lucas Johnson who is being helped up to his feet by a referee who raises his hand high in the air in victory, while the only thing that can come out of Lucas’ mouth is a smirk as he starts the celebration of his victory from there.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… LUCAS JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: Ok, thank God this match is over, I can finally go home and continue my life without having to see these weirdos.
Stew-O: Well you do have to admit that it was one hell of a match. Both had something to prove and gave it their all in order to make sure that the other put their money where their mouth is, but in the end, it was Lucas that came out victorious despite everything Mary attempted to throw at him. Congratulations to Lucas!
(The camera then goes from the ring to the stage where Sabina is then seen once again at the podium with a smile on her face.)
Sabina: Thank you for joining us once again for another award nomination, this time the award being for ‘Most Improved!’ The nominations go as follows…
(It then goes to a graphic showing ‘Most Improved’ with the nominees being listed out as well:
– Limmy Monaghan
– Donovan Duke
– Ryan Wilson
– Justin Windgate
– Rebecca Blackwell
– Veena Adams
– Mary S. Atlas.)
Sabina: And the winner is… LIMMY MONAGHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The EAW Universe sounds off with a mixed reaction mostly dominated by cheers while ‘King’s Dead’ by Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Future, & James Blake begins to play up through the speakers of The Qudos Bank Arena. The camera then cuts to show Limmy Monaghan making his way out to the stage, obviously not in the best of shape after the events of last week. He has bandages wrapped all over his body and is tattered with bruises apparent thanks to the war that he went through at Road To Redemption. Walter Bivens is seen following behind him, with a very excited look on his face while the Hardcore Championship is then shown resting on the shoulder of Limmy while he approaches the podium. He takes his award in hand while he props the Championship up on the podium alongside it, sighing with a faint smile on his face while he scans the arena. After a second, ‘King’s Dead’ then begins to come to a close, leaving the floor open for Limmy to give his speech.)
Limmy Monaghan: Well, look at the circumstance… *I was right.* I was always right, it was just a fact that people didn’t want to come to terms with. They didn’t want to believe in their conscience that I was as good as I said I was, ‘the next, the new.’ Yet here I am, standing here today holding a testament to my work, holding *another* trophy to add to the case to commend the work that I’ve put in for Elite Answers Wrestling. All was expected, and none of it fell short of such expectations; simply because *I refused to.* I refused to be dealt the bad hand, I refused to pull the short end of the stick. Henceforth, the desired results came my way. Because nobody worked as hard as I did to get to this point, there’s a certain level of sacrifice that I’ve put into this very company… *and nobody has even come close to touching that.* You know why? Because I am ‘The Monarch,’ and I refuse to be acknowledged as anything but. Because I deserve to be coronated as such, *I deserve everything.* Especially when you consider it under the umbrella of ‘Most Improved,’ because if you put the name ‘Limmy Monaghan’ in that category against anyone else… well then, *It’s a clean sweep.*
(Limmy pauses for a moment to turn his head and looks towards his award. His face is cold, devoid of any emotion thanks to his speech, before he turns towards the microphone and continues what he has to say from there.)
Limmy Monaghan: Reckless Wiring 2021 was one of the lowest points of my career. My naivety and delusions of grandeur had finally gotten the better of me and it sent me spiraling down a path of constant failures and shame, I can tell you that upfront. It wasn’t the most satisfying feeling, but regardless I still got up. I learned from my mistakes and became a better person, and although in Season 14 I put up rookie numbers, *Season 15 I showed I belonged.* I proved I was World Championship material, and furthermore, I buried the hatchet with the one person who my conquest has eluded over for *months.* Now here I am, bruised, beaten, and *victorious.* So this, *this award* that has been so graciously bestowed upon me, is just the *beginning of a glorious journey.* I’m not even at my peak yet and that’s a very *dangerous* thing. There are big things ahead for myself, things that *will* happen because I will make sure of it. I promised that by the end of the year, by the *end of the Season,* that I’d stand at the very epitome of this company as the Answers World Champion… and I will continue to stand by that because that is the undeniable truth, consider it *gospel.*
Limmy Monaghan: My time is coming, the point where everything that I say finally comes to fruition and the *prophecy* that I’ve made for myself is finally fulfilled. It’s not about being the ‘most improved’ and getting validation that I’ve already obtained, it’s about reaching the next level and continuing to better myself in spite of others. Because in no reality are they at my level, *I will forever be above.* This Hardcore Championship more than proves that, but no, I desire *more.* There is still so much more to be done, so much left to do… so in the meantime put this in your record books. Take a picture of this moment and remember it, because they’ll look back and remember the one thing that I said that will forever be embedded in the sands of time… that I was right, *I was always right.* I am fortunate to have ended 2021 on a high note, but that just fuels me to make the next year even more grand, to the point that I will be the centerpiece of this very industry. 2022 is a new year, not a fresh start, but a *continuation of the path that I have already begun to pave for myself.*
Limmy Monaghan: I do not plan on letting this Hardcore Championship go for a *long time,* and thus forth that means I’m going to have my hands full, and there is going to be a lot of work that needs to be done in the process; and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I have gotten to the position I’m in by being put through the wringer and I have shown why out of everyone else, I am the only person fit for the job. So I welcome it, because I *enjoy* it. I enjoy my back against the wall and I enjoy the entire world against me because it’s something I’m accustomed to, it’s something that *I live for.* So to whoever wants to step up and show that they deserve this or that over me, then do so. I’ll show you exactly why I am, and forever will be, ‘The Monarch.’
(‘King’s Dead’ once again plays up while Limmy takes his ‘Most Improved award and raises it high above his head while the crowd continue to react in a mix of cheers and boos. Limmy then brings it down to his side while Walter pats his back, with a proud smile on his face looking at him. From there, both of them make their way to the back while the camera slowly begins to fade to elsewhere from there.)
(A commercial is shown for Hawkeye, the goat Disney+ show.)
(The camera fades back to the podium on the stage, and the crowd begins cheering once again as Sabina is seen, once again with a smile on her face.)
Sabina: Ladies and gentlemen, this year we’ve seen tons of new faces join the scene, and we’ve seen these new faces shock the world and impress so many people. Right now we’re about to announce the winner of this years “Rookie of the Year” award, so here are the nominees!
(A graphic appears on the screen, saying “Rookie of the Year”, as well as revealing the nominees:
– Amir Yusuf
– Mary S. Atlas
– Ximena Velasquez
– Rebecca Blackwell
– Alex Myers
– IDOL-GUN
– Johnny Andrews)
(The camera fades back to Sabina at the podium, and the crowd cheers as they see Sabina with an envelope in her hand. Sabina opens the envelope, reading out the “Rookie of the Year” winner’s name before looking back at the crowd.)
Sabina: And the winner of this year’s “Rookie of the Year” award….. AAAAMMMIIIRRRRRRR YYUUUUUUUSSSUUUFFFFFFF!!!!!!
(‘Elevate’ by DJ Khalil hits, and at the same time, the crowd explodes into cheers. The fans are clearly extremely happy, and after a few moments, Amir Yusuf begins to walk out wearing his in ring attire as he has a match tonight, causing the cheers to grow even louder. Amir has a smile on his face as he looks around at the crowd that’s in full support of him, and Amir begins to make his way up to the podium. Sabina hands Amir his award, and Amir steps up to the podium, before looking around at the crowd one more time. He’s happy to hear the support from all of them, and after a few seconds, Amir begins to speak as the crowd quiets down.)
Amir Yusuf: When I first walked into this company just this year I wasn’t completely sure that I’d be in this position. I didn’t know that I’d end the year as a former New Breed Champion, and that I’d be able to hold an award like this. My biggest goal was always to entertain every single person watching tonight, and that hasn’t changed even after accomplishing everything I have. Since I joined this place I’ve been able to have fantastic matches against some of the best Elitists on the roster, and I’m so grateful for that. I’m glad that I’ve been able to showcase what I’m capable of on a weekly basis, because this is what I enjoy. This is what all of you enjoy, and this is exactly what made me the New Breed Champion in the first place. If there’s one thing I’ll always have no matter what happens to me, it’ll be passion. If I’m not putting in my best effort then I’m doing something wrong, and I’ve learned from my mistakes time and time again. I’ve seen where I went wrong in the past, but if this “Rookie of the Year” award has told me anything, it’s that even with the mistakes I’ve made in the past, I have to be doing something right.
Amir Yusuf: I lost the New Breed Championship to Jon Kelton weeks ago, and I still feel the need to apologize for disappointing those who supported me. I walked into that match believing that I’d leave with that Championship still around my waist, and I didn’t… But like I said just this week, I haven’t lost my heart. I haven’t lost all the things that got me to that position. I haven’t lost everything that makes me Amir Yusuf, so I’m confident that someday I’ll find my way back to Championship gold, but until then I’m going to keep making sure I don’t disappoint. I’m going to make sure that this “Rookie of the Year” award one day becomes something greater, because I heard the response when my name was called. I heard all of the cheers when my entrance music hit, and I saw all the smiles on your faces when I walked out to accept this award, and I’m going to make sure that those smiles don’t go anywhere for a very long time. I still enjoy doing this and I don’t think I’ll ever stop, so as long as I’m still around, you’re going to get Amir Yusuf as his best.
Amir Yusuf: Hopefully Justin Windgate and Alex Myers understand that too, because I do have a match tonight, and I plan on winning that match. I ended up being the person who won this award despite some of the names included, and I plan to prove that there’s a reason my name was chosen ahead of everyone else. I said everything I needed to about this match over the past week, but with this award in my hand, and getting to hear everyone’s cheers and support in person, I can’t lose. I can’t let everyone down the same way I did against Jon Kelton. 2021 was just the start. I’m going to be here for a long time, and week after week I’m going to continue to impress all of you, just like I did this year. I’m going to continue to make my mark in 2022 just like I did in 2021, and that all starts by ending this year with another victory under my belt. I’ll see Justin Windgate and Alex Myers very soon, but for now? Thank you. Thank all of you watching this right now, because I could not have done all of this without the support you always gave me.
(Amir Yusuf backs away from the podium, and from there, ‘Elevate’ begins to play once again. The crowd begins cheering loudly for Amir Yusuf, still in support of the former New Breed Champion and the 2021 “Rookie of the Year” winner as the fans are very pleased with his victory. Amir Yusuf smiles as he raises up his award, and Amir walks to the back to prepare for his match. From there, the camera begins to fade away from the area.)

(As the next match graphic fades away from the screen, the camera pans across the arena, before meeting Bella Braxton in the center of the ring. She holds up an EAW-branded microphone, this time decorated in Christmas colors, before announcing the next matchup.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is a TRIPLE THREAT MATCH… and it is scheduled… FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL! ONE FALL! ONE FALL! OI OI OI!
Bella Braxton: :wtf:
(‘High All The Time’ by 50 Cent then hits the speakers, as the crowd then begins to cheer – more specifically, the crowd members who are totally drug-free and not hippy stoners – upon seeing “The Xtreme Classic” appear up on the titantron. Walking out onto the stage, mimicking the motion of chainsmoking, Justin Windgate begins to walk down the ramp. A few fans are spotted doing the pose back to him, and others ask him to pass the boof – which he does. His Christmas gift to the entire EAW Universe; weed.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… hailing from Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 225 pounds… JUUUUSTIIIIIIIIIIIN WIIIIIIINDGAAAAAAAAAAATEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: And here enters Justin Windgate! In a common theme that we’ll find across all three competitors in this match, he competed in an important match for his career in the past few weeks, at Road To Redemption more specifically, but he once again came up short. After a long, and hard attempt at becoming World Champion, it wasn’t meant to be, and he ended up falling. Whilst his performance was good over on the Voltage brand, he needs more than a good performance to keep up this time around… he needs to succeed!
(Justin Windgate pats his hand onto the ring post before he slowly starts to walk up the steel steps. He then enters the ring, extending his arms to his side, before immediately placing them back into a “smoking” pose, with the audience once again doing it back – including children who probably don’t even know what it means. Windgate winks and nods his head before he leans in the corner – his theme fading out. Suddenly, ‘End of Heartache’ by Killswitch Engage hits the speakers, as the crowd then lets out a huge roar of boos. Skating out onto the stage, atop a skateboard with a skeleton Santa pattern underneath, Alex Myers walks through the curtains, with Christmas-themed facepaint. The difference is, this doesn’t look so happy. The black on their face appears to be in the design of things like Snowflakes, and Snowmen, but melting, in a horror-inspired, unsettling image. Turning *Christ*mas into something more resembling of hell.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent… hailing from Seattle, Washington… weighing in at 170 pounds… ALLLEEEEEEEEEEXXXX MYYYYYYYEEEEEEERSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Just like Justin Windgate, this edge lord also lost last week at Road To Redemption, and his Christmas gift tonight could be a recovery from that… opposite of water match. They could very much defeat his two opponents, come out on top, and make the recovery of a lifetime as they solidify themselves as one of the best on the Dynasty roster, almost certainly getting something in return because of it! There are some pretty good stakes here for Alex Myers tonight, just like his opponents. The question is… will they capitalize? (No, it’s PAWGDown’s time.)
(Alex Myers rides the skateboard down the ramp, and upon reaching the ring, they leap off of it and slide underneath the bottom rope. They quickly bounce back up to their feet, before leaping up onto the top turnbuckles, and posing in a very dark, and menacing tone. The crowd continues to boo, but Alex is completely unphased. It’s barely crossed their minds, and this is very obvious to the crowd themselves. By completely ignoring them, they have worked up the crowd and made them boo even more. They didn’t even try. Their theme would then fade out, however, only to be replaced by ‘Elevate’ by DJ Khalil. The crowd erupts into a fit of cheers, as Amir Yusuf slowly walks out onto the stage with a smile on his face. His vest is zipped up, and it obviously shows the comic-accurate Symbiote Spider-Man design, mixed with the goo-texture of the Symbiote itself. He poses on the stage, before walking down the ramp – high fiving fans in the process.)
Bella Braxton: And finally… hailing from Chicago, Illinois… weighing in at 182 pounds… AAAAAAAAAMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIR YUUUUUUUSUUUUUUUUUUUUUF!!!!
Stew-O: And finally, here arrives Amir Yusuf! A former New Breed Champion, he looks to recover back on that road to becoming a Champion, given the fact he lost the New Breed Championship just a few weeks ago has definitely left a sour taste in his mouth, and rightfully so! You don’t lose a title and accept it. You don’t suffer a huge loss and think it’s cool. You try your hardest to get back on that horse and keep riding, and right now, this is exactly what we’re going to expect from ‘The Heart of EAW’, and it shows. He isn’t going to let anyone get ahead of him in this race.
(Amir Yusuf slowly walks up the steel steps, before holding onto the middle rope. He rolls through the ropes, performing a somersault, and rolling back up to his feet, before extending out his hand to pose. The crowd starts to cheer, as he runs to the top rope, and starts to pound the air with his hand – pumping himself up, and the audience, for what is to come. He lets out a huge grin, before his theme fades out, and he removes his jacket…)
Persephone: *Yawn.* Let’s make this one quick.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And we are underway! This triple threat has just begun, as we now see Amir Yusuf, Alex Myers, and Justin Windgate square off across the ring from each other – forming a triangle formation – almost as if this was a wild-west standoff! I think all three of them are hesitant to make the first move, given that it allows a third man to come in and swoop control! Preparing for a match like this is completely different in comparison to a regular singles match because starting off the bout is just as hard as maintaining that sense of control! Though, we don’t have to wait for much longer, as we see Alex Myers quickly go into offensive mode!
Gavin Kirkland: Face-Paint McQuiet Kid quickly goes to lock Justin Windgate in a headlock, but just following this Amir Yusuf locks in a waist lock! The three are practically chained up together, accidentally, but it doesn’t last long! After a few short seconds of struggling, Windgate slips out of the hold before tugging on Alex’s leg! Alex stumbles to the ground, and this sends Amir flying too! Both go stomach-first into the mat! Justin was able to outsmart them for just a second!
Stew-O: But just as he looks to go for his patented ‘No X-Scape’ on Alex Myers, Amir Yusuf is able to pull Justin Windgate back momentarily, looking to lock in an Ankle Lock! Amir comes so close to locking it in, but before he can properly get off his knees, here comes Alex! They go for an attempt at the Regal Stretch – ‘Dawn of Torment’ – which pulls Amir out of it! Amir doesn’t let this phase him, though, immediately flipping onto his back and kicking Alex in the head! And again! He goes for a third, but Alex catches the leg!
Gavin Kirkland: But wait! Windgate slips into a cover!
OOONNNNEEEEEE-
Gavin Kirkland: Yet Amir is able to kick out, which allows Alex to gain control! Amir’s focus shifted, and now Alex has full control! They perform a forward roll over Amir’s body, putting him place for what seems to be an Air Raid Crash!
Stew-O: If this Air Raid Crash nails, dropping Amir on the bridge of his shoulders, this could be game changing, early on!
Gavin Kirkland: However, that’s not the case! Justin Windgate grabs onto Amir’s legs, and pulls him back down onto his feet, forcing Alex to bend down! Alex is placed in a DDT position, and Justin sweeps Amir’s leg! Amir accidentally performs a DDT onto Alex, before Justin then connects with a huge Grounded Superkick to his head that knocks him down to the ground! Amir Yusuf and Alex Myers just got finessed and now Justin Windgate is the one in control despite the first move being applied to him! Justin Windgate almost immediately slides down onto his knees and covers Amir a second time, this time it’s not just to gain control, it’s to gain a victory here tonight!
OOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Stew-O: But Amir is quick to escape! That Grounded Superkick was not enough to keep him down, and that’s extremely obvious given his history; Windgate is gonna have to do more! But he obviously attempts to do more, grabbing onto Amir by the head, and lifting him off the ground! He Irish Whips him into the ropes, and BAM! Amir is dropped by a back elbow from Justin! Justin now runs the ropes, not aware that Amir slides onto his stomach about to pop up, but Justin leaps over him! Now Alex is up behind Amir… AS THEY BOTH LEAPFROG WINDGATE!
Persephone: Yawn.
Gavin Kirkland: Alex and Amir accidentally forced to team up here, something they definitely don’t want to do, and I don’t blame them! I wouldn’t want to team up with a highschool edgelord who listens to Sleeping With Sirens, or a musty Spider-Man fan myself. My partner would be someone like Cameron Ella-PAWGa (sorry Jamie.) But these two aren’t intending to team up, to be fair, as Alex drops to their stomach, catching Windgate’s leg and forcing him to fall over, whereas Amir then connects with a huge knee drop onto the back of his neck! He shoots the half and covers!
OOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Persephone: Oh, great. Now Alex makes this go on longer by pushing Amir away and covering for themself.
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Persephone: Bro.
Gavin Kirkland: Justin kicks out this time, however! Though it seems obvious these two are doing damage to him. The real question is, will they be able to continue that damage? Amir and Alex already are getting annoyed with each other, as Alex pushes Amir by the chest! Amir Yusuf chuckles… before pushing him back!
Alex Myers: (off-mic) You think you’re so fucking great, don’t you? Huh? You think you’re oh-so special, because of one lackluster title reign?
Amir Yusuf: (off-mic) And what have you done to show you’re any different?
Alex Myers: (off-mic) End your damn lifespan.
Stew-O: OH! A HUGE FOREARM TO THE JAW FROM ALEX MYERS! Alex is getting pissed off with Amir, and I don’t think Amir lacks a mutual feeling towards them, as he then shoots an elbow in their direction – an elbow he does not miss! He and Alex begin to stand back up onto their feet, whilst returning those forearms! Alex is able to duck, though, pushing Amir Yusuf straight into the ring ropes!
Gavin Kirkland: Amir hits the ropes, before getting hit with a forearm just as he connects! Amir drops to his knees, before Alex turns around and runs across the ring, looking to hit the ropes… BUT AMIR WITH A SINGLE LEG DROPKICK! Alex drops to their knees, but unlike Amir, they don’t get back up, and instead, Alex rolls underneath the bottom rope to the outside, where Amir obviously wants to perform a dive! He takes a few steps back… BEFORE MAKING UP HIS MIND, RUNNING THE ROPES, LOOKING TO HIT A HUGE MOVE TO THE OUTSIDE- BUT HERE COMES WINDGATE!
Stew-O: JUSTIN WINDGATE CONNECTS WITH A HUGE ‘SMOKE BOMB’ ROLLING THUNDER OUT OF NOWHERE, THOUGH INSTEAD OF A SENTON, HE CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK TO THE HEAD, AND AMIR IS SENT FLYING THROUGH THE ROPES! WHAT A DEVASTATING KICK TO THE HEAD, ONE THAT COULD’VE KNOCKED AMIR OUT COLD!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT HE’S NOT DONE! THE XTREME CLASSIC GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AND TURNS AROUND TO FACE ALEX MYERS! HE SPRINTS ACROSS THE RING… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HUGE SUICIDE DIVE, SENDING HIM TO THE GROUND! AGAIN, NOT FINISHED, HE SLIPS THROUGH THE ROPES, AND RUNS ACROSS THE RING… SUICIDE DIVE TO AMIR!
Stew-O: AND IT PROPERLY TAKES HIM OUT! AMIR IS SLUNG BACKWARD INTO THE BARRICADE, HIS BACK CRACKING AGAINST IT PRETTY BADLY! AMIR ISN’T ON THE GROUND FOR LONG THOUGH AS WINDGATE GRABS HIM BY THE TIGHTS AND PULLS HIM OFF HIS FEET, BEFORE SLINGING HIM BACK INTO THE RING IN ORDER TO GET THE COVER, AND PERHAPS, WIN THIS ENTIRE MATCH ALREADY! WINDGATE HOOKS THE LEG, AND MAKES SURE THAT HIS LEVERAGE MAKES IT REALLY EASY TO GET THE THREE! THIS COULD BE IT HERE! JUSTIN WINDGATE COULD HAVE JUST WON!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Stew-O: KICK-OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: Windgate blew that man’s back out –
Persephone: Ayo.
Gavin Kirkland: – and it was enough to get a two count! That combined with the Rolling Thunder-assisted dropkick, he really damaged Amir Yusuf right there, to the point where he must be seeing stars. And given some female Elitists have hip attacks as moves, sign me up! I’d love to see stars. :mjlit: Windgate grabs Amir by his hair and pulls him off his feet, grabbing Amir, and looking to hit a Modified ‘Run It Up’ Sliced Bread #2!! The Xtreme Classic jumps… BUT AMIR CATCHES HIM ON HIS SHOULDER! LAWNDART!
Stew-O: AMIR YUSUF CONNECTS WITH A LAWNDART, DRILLING HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE HEAD-FIRST, AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS MANOEUVRE, AND HE KNOCKS HIM OUT COMPLETELY! AMIR YUSUF GRABS HIM BY THE TIGHTS, AND PULLS HIM AWAY FROM THE CORNER, INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING! AMIR GOES TO COVER-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT LOOK ON THE APRON! ALEX MYERS IS BACK! THEY CLIMB UP THE TURNBUCKLES, ONTO THE TOP ROPE, LOOKING DOWN AT AMIR AND JUSTIN, BOTH OF THEM UNAWARE OF WHAT’S HAPPENING! THE REFEREE, HOWEVER, HAS WHICH PROMPTS HIM NOT TO COUNT… BECAUSE ALEX MYERS KNOCKS OUT AMIR YUSUF WITH ‘DOCTOR SLEEP’!! THE DIVING METEORA ONTO BOTH JUSTIN AND AMIR!! ALEX COVERS!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHRR-
Stew-O: A KICK OUT FROM AMIR! ALEX SWITCHES OVER TO COVERING WINDGATE!
OOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE-
Stew-O: BUT AGAIN, A KICK OUT! Justin isn’t going to stay down after that, as we’ve seen all too much from him this past few months, and now this is on full display! We’ve seen Elitists go through hell just to keep him down, and Alex isn’t going to be an exception! He knows this… and quite frankly, I think he’s prepared to do so right at this moment!
Gavin Kirkland: Alex Myers grabs Amir and Windgate at the same time, before they roll them underneath the bottom rope, sending both to the outside! They obviously has something in mind, and Edge Lord is going to do something huge! Amir uses Windgate’s shoulder to push himself up onto his feet, whereas Windgate is super stunned! Alex Myers is bouncing on his feet, getting ready to leap… and now they sprint across the ring! They hit the ropes, and leap through the opposite side… AND TAKES BOTH OF THEM OUT! A SUICIDE DIVE TAKES THEM BOTH DOWN, BUT THEY DON’T EVEN CARE TO PROTECT HIMSELF; THHE JUST COMPLETELY WIPE THEM BOTH OUT AT TOP FUCKING SPEED!
Crowd: HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT!
Stew-O: ALEX MYERS JUST RISKED LIFE AND LIMB HERE, INTENTIONALLY PLACING THEIR OWN WELL BEING ABOVE A SPIKE, AND ALLOWING IT TO DROP; ALEX IS CARE-FREE TOWARDS THEMSELVES, AND THAT ONLY ENHANCES THE DANGER THAT EXISTS IN THAT RING, EVEN OUT OF IT! ALEX MYERS GRABS JUSTIN WINDGATE BY THE HAIR, AND THROWS HIM INTO THE RING! THEY COULD BE PREPARING TO COME OUT VICTORIOUS, PREPARING TO END THE MATCH RIGHT NOW, AND IF SO, THIS COULD BE THE BIGGEST VICTORY OF THEIR CAREER SO FAR!
Persephone: That’s not saying much.
Gavin Kirkland: Alex Myers climbs up onto the apron, staring at Justin Windgate who lies prone in the center of the ring! Alex surely does intent to finish this up right now, as they climb up to the very top rope, looking to connect with a game-ending ‘Sinner’s Lullaby’, which would be a guaranteed victory for Captain Campiness! They stand on the top rope and turn around… my God! It could all be over… BUT HERE COMES AMIR! HE HOLDS ONTO ALEX’S FOOT, AND SWEEPS THE LEG!
Stew-O: ALEX GOES FACE FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, AND BLOOD INSTANTLY STARTS TO POUR DOWN THEIR LIPS, DOWN THEIR CHIN… ALEX JUST BROKE THEIR NOSE! OH MY FUCKING GOD! IT’S GONE CROOKED!! THIS IS NO EXAGGERATION, THE BONE ON THE NOSE HAS LEGITIMATELY BEEN SNAPPED, ALMOST AS IF IT WAS A ZIG ZAG! ALEX MYERS FALLS STRAIGHT DOWN ONTO THEIR BACK, WHILST HOLDING ONTO THEIR FACE, AS AMIR YUSUF CLIMBS UP TO THE TOP ROPE INSTEAD OF ALEX! HE COULD BE LOOKING TO END THIS WHOLE THING RIGHT HERE! HERE IT COMES… ‘054’!!!! THE ‘054’ CONNECTS ON JUSTIN WINDGATE!!!
Persephone: Nevermind. :mjlol: Whilst those two bozos spent their time breaking each other’s nose for a small amount of blood, Justin Windgate was able to get his knees up and knock the wind out of Amir’s socket. If only he had decapitated Alex Myers and spurted blood all over the ring, maybe he’d have a better chance at winning, but I guess not! That smoke addicted bozo climbs right back up onto his feet, and grabs ahold of Amir Yusuf’s head… as he goes for the ‘Classic Ending’ Reverse Cutter… oh my! A regular wrestling move connects. Shocker. I’m totally surprised.
Stew-O: That’s not just ANY wrestling move, Persephone, that’s Justin Windgate’s finishing move – and Amir Yusuf was smartly able to counter it! He’s able to shift around, and grab him in the inverted headlock position, now looking to connect with ‘AYC’ – the rolling cutter! But before he can connect with it, Alex Myers sprints forward… Discus Lariat to Amir! Both Amir and Justin drop to the ground, and now Alex moves over to the turnbuckles, looking to go right back up to the top rope, repeating what they did last time, and that’s go for the finish! Here it comes…
Gavin Kirkland: ‘SINNER’S LULLABY’!!!! THE DIVING COFFIN DROP, STRAIGHT ONTO AMIR YUSUF, TAKES HIM OUT COMPLETELY! THEY USE THEIR OWN BODY TO CRUSH THE RIBS OF HIS OPPONENT, AND THEY COULD GET THE MOST SATISFYING OUTCOME FOR THIS MATCH! PINNING AMIR YUSUF, COMING OUT VICTORIOUS, AFTER A LONG WEEK OF BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO! ALEX MYERS COULD GET THIS VICTORY, AS HE HOOKS THE LEG!
OOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! AMIR YUSUF STAYS ALIVE! HE POPS THE SHOULDER UP HIGH, AND ALEX MYERS LOOKS FRUSTRATED! AMIR YUSUF WAS JUST CONSIDERED OUT OF IT, I’M SURE ALEX LOOKED AT HIM AS DEFEATED, BUT IT WASN’T MEANT TO BE! ALEX WAS CONVINCED THIS WOULD BE THEIR VICTORY, BUT THEY NOW HAVE TO FIGHT EVEN HARDER!
Stew-O: That’s indeed true, Gavin, both Windgate and Amir are super resilient and have shown that this whole season! Windgate’s match with Drake, and Amir’s match with Adam, really show that Alex will have to bust out even bigger guns if they want to keep one of them down for good, and I’m sure that they’re going to attempt to do so. But the real issue isn’t the fact that they have to TRY and do that, it’s the fact that it may not entirely be possible. The fact that it may not be the easiest thing in the world, the fact that it may be a very tough thing to do, and the fact that it’s easier said than done. Alex will have to learn this the hard way.
Persephone: Yawn. You really think the audience gives a shit about what is and isn’t hard? There is only one thing that I wish was hard right now, and it belongs to a man who’s name starts with R and ends with X. We’re not trying to listen to some boring sob story about how Alex Myers will need to struggle even harder in order to get this victory, and become happy again. Let’s start killing people instead, hell, I can go ahead and fetch some barbed wire for these people! Let me get it-
Stew-O: :whoa: Relax! I think they all have it! Alex Myers grabs Amir, and throws him straight into the corner; now making it just between themself and Justin Windgate! I’m not sure if this is the best scenario, but whatever Alex thinks will work is what they’re going to stick with! They grab hold of Justin Windgate’s head, before throwing him in the opposite corner! Alex now starts to rain down punches…
Gavin Kirkland: BUT HERE COMES AMIR! HE SPRINTS FORWARD, AND ALEX NOTICES THIS – MOVING OUT OF THE WAY – HOWEVER, JUSTIN WINDGATE DOESN’T! JUSTIN IS YET TO REALIZE WHAT’S COMING HIS WAY, AND HE GETS CLOBBERED WITH A HUGE HELLUVA KICK! JUSTIN DROPS DOWN TO THE GROUND, BUT NOW ALEX MOVES OVER TO AMIR! THEY KICK AMIR IN THE GUT, AND LOOKS FOR A BRAINBUSTER-
Stew-O: NO! KNEECAP BRAINBUSTER FROM AMIR! AMIR IS ON FIRE RIGHT NOW, AS HE COVERS ALEX!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
…
Gavin Kirkland: DENIED! ALEX MYERS IS ABLE TO THROW THEIR ARM INTO THE AIR JUST MOMENTS BEFORE WHAT COULD BE THEIR ULTIMATE FALL OFF, BOB ROSS’ HUMAN CANVAS WAS ABLE TO THROW THEIR SHOULDER OFF THE MAT, ESCAPING THE PREDICAMENT THEY WERE ALREADY IN! AMIR YUSUF ROLLS AWAY FROM THE COVER, SHOCKED, ASKING WHAT MORE HE COULD POSSIBLY DO IN ORDER TO SUCCEED HERE! AS HE GRABS ALEX BY THEIR HAIR, HE LOOKS TO COMPLETELY STUN THEM… WITH A CLOSED FIST PUNCH – ONE THAT WOULD MAKE EVEN JAKE PAUL PROUD! AND THAT WOULD MAKE ALEX MYERS THE NEXT TYRON WOODLEY, AS THEY INSTANTLY DROP DOWN FACE-FIRST INTO THE MAT! AMIR ISN’T DONE THOUGH! HE’S SHOWING OFF THAT PETER PARKER RAGE AS IF KINGPIN JUST SNAPPED GWEN STACY’S NECK! OR BETTER YET, THAT NED LEEDS RAGE, AS IF SOMEONE SNAPPED HIS HAPPY MEAL ORDER!
Stew-O: ODDLY SPECIFIC, GAVIN, BUT IT WORKS! AS THE TWO START TO GET BACK UP ONTO THEIR FEET, AMIR CONTINUES TO CONNECT WITH HUGE STRIKES RIGHT TO ALEX MYERS’ HEAD, FORCING THE BLOOD ALREADY DRIPPING FROM THEIR NOSE TO DRIP DOWN EVEN MORE! AMIR IS REALLY PUTTING THAT SYMBIOTE SPIDER-MAN COSPLAY TO USE HERE, GAVIN, BECAUSE YOU MAY JUST BE RIGHT – HE’S FIGHTING WITH A PURPOSE HE’S NOT FOUGHT WITH FOR A WHILE! PERHAPS LOSING THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP FORCED HIM TO GO DOWN AN EVEN MORE BRUTAL PATH… AND THE FANS HERE IN AUSTRALIA FUCKING LOVE IT! THEY WANT MORE!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT ALEX MYERS ISN’T STANDING BACK! THEU MAY BE STUNNED, THEY MAY BE BRUTALIZED, BUT THEY AREN’T ALLOWING AMIR YUSUF TO GET AHEAD OF THEM! ALEX CONNECTS WITH A HUGE FOREARM SMASH TO AMIR YUSUF’S JAW, AND THAT FORCES HIM TO STUMBLE BACKWARD EVER SO SLIGHTLY! ALEX MYERS IS STARTING TO CONNECT WITH MORE, AS THEY MOVE FORWARD AND LET OUT A FOREARM THAT COMPLETELY SHAKES THE ATMOSPHERE! IT SOUNDS LIKE A DAMN GUNSHOT! THESE TWO AREN’T HESITATING WHEN IT COMES TO COMPLETELY DEMOLSHING THE OTHER (pause) AND THAT’S GOING TO HELP BOTH OF THEM IN THE LONG RUN!
Stew-O: ALEX MYERS ISN’T DONE HERE THOUGH! THEY GRAB AMIR BY THE JAW, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH SOME HUGE CHOPS TO THE FACE! THAT’S ONE! THAT’S TWO! SWEAT LITERALLY SPRAYING OFF HIS BODY IN CLOUDS WITH HOW BRUTAL IT IS! ALEX MYERS STUMBLES BACK, AND LOOKS FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK…
Gavin Kirkland: AMIR YUSUF CONNECTS WITH A HUGE SPIN KICK TO THE SIDE OF ALEX’S HEAD, AND ALEX DROPS STRAIGHT TO THE FUCKING GROUND! POOLS OF BLOOD POUR OUT BESIDE THEIR HEAD, AND THAT COULD ALL BE IT FOR ALEX, THAT COULD BE ALL SHE WROTE! AMIR YUSUF GRABS ALEX BY THEIR HEAD, AND THROWS THEM THROUGH THE ROPES!
Stew-O: BUT NOW, HE TURNS HIS ATTENTION OVER TO JUSTIN WINDGATE – A MAN HE COMPLETELY DROPPED WITH THAT HELLUVA KICK! NOW, HE PLACES HIM BACK INTO THE INVERTED HEADLOCK, BACK IN POSITION FOR THE ROLLING CUTTER, AND IF THIS LANDS IT COULD ALL BE OVER! AMIR YUSUF DRAGS HIM TO THE CENTER OF THE RING… BEFORE SPIKING HIM ONTO THE TOP OF HIS HEAD! ‘AYC’ CONNECTS, AND JUSTIN WINDGATE HAS GOT TO BE UNCONSCIOUS RIGHT NOW! AMIR YUSUF SHOOTS THE HALF, BEFORE HOOKING THE LEG! AMIR HAS THIS ONE WON, GUYS!
OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… HE IS ‘THE HEART OF EAW’!!! AMMIIIIIIIIIR YUUUSSSUUUUUUUF!!!!
(‘Elevate’ by DJ Khalil starts to blare through the speakers, as the Australian audience begins to get off their feet and cheer – which, considering the country they’re in, is surprisingly not standing on their heads. Amir Yusuf rolls away from Justin Windgate, before slowly pulling himself up to his feet. The referee begins to assist him in standing back up, hooking his arms underneath Amir’s armpit, pulling him into a standing position. The referee then raises Amir’s arm, and as he does so, the crowd starts to cheer even louder. Amir stumbles forward, before climbing up the turnbuckles – posing on the very top rope. The camera pans out to show the crowd, and a few children in the audience are shown doing the pose in unison with Amir Yusuf.)
Stew-O: And he has done it! Just a few short weeks after losing the New Breed Championship, Amir Yusuf has begun his road to recovery! He was promised a new door opening for him, and right now, that was evidently correct! Amir Yusuf has once again walked out successfully, and Amir Yusuf is more than likely about to celebrate Christmas on a high like none other! Towards the end of that match, he turned up the brutality, cut down on the flips, and started fucking punching people… and it WORKED. That’s the shocker here; HE SUCCEEDED. He didn’t fail in fucking people up.
Gavin Kirkland: :wow: That’s been a common theme for most Elitists, especially over here on the Showdown Brand, where Elitists tone down on the special moves and just start brutalizing their opponents, and there’s never been a time where it hasn’t been successful. Look at Harpawg Lee! Before, she was out there doing quadruple rotation shooting stars after using grappling guns, and now she’s stomping Elitists’ heads in with a plethora of weapons, such as chairs! And now, Amir Yusuf uses this same tactic, and he’s already showing signs of succeeding beyond what we could’ve ever thought!
(Amir Yusuf climbs down off the turnbuckles, before sliding out the ring. He begins to give handshakes and high fives towards the members of the audience – specifically those wearing masks and gloves #NotAScamdemic – to thank them for their time. Amir then begins to walk up the ramp, posing one last time, before the broadcast fades out to commercials.)
(A commercial for canceling Christmas is shown, featuring Ronan Malosi. “GET THIS SHIT OFF YA CALENDAR, AND TRY RONEYMAS!” He screams, before being dragged out of the building. The use of Ronan Malosi’s likeness may or may not be slightly exaggerated in this commercial.)
(An Aussie Summer Christmas Spectacular then comes back from commercial break to show Sabina once again at the podium ready to announce the next award!)
Sabina: Thank you for joining us once again for another award nomination, this time regarding the award for ‘Return Moment of the Year!’ And the nominees are…
(It then transitions over to a graphic labeled under ‘Return Moment of the Year’ with the nominees:
– Theron Nikolas at the Grand Rampage
– Ronn Banks at the Grand Rampage
– Tyler Parker on Dynasty
– Cameron Ella Ava at the Grand Rampage.)
(It then goes back to Sabina who is seen gripping the envelope in her hand, letting the crowd have their moment before she slowly begins to open the envelope and read it out to herself. She then looks up and continues to speak from there.)
Sabina: And the winner is… RONN BANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The crowd goes berserk upon hearing the Hall of Famer’s name while “Shock The World’ by Lloyd Banks then begins to play up throughout the speakers of the arena. From there, the camera then cuts to show Ronn Banks make his way out from the backstage area to the stage. He sports a bright smile plastered on his face despite the obvious fatigue that he has thanks to his match against Andre Walker which stole the show in the opener for the night. He dons a ‘PLK’ shirt over the ring attire that he also wore for the night while he struts his way to the podium. He accepts the award from Sabina before bringing it into his hands, looking down at it while a smirk creeps onto his face as he does so. He then puts the award down onto the podium while he looks back up at the camera that is facing him on the stage, before then scanning the hyped up EAW Universe. After a while, ‘Shock The World’ then begins to come to a close while Banks leans forward, clearing his throat as he begins to speak into the microphone while the crowd quiets down.)
Ronn Banks: I don’t mean to take up much of your time so I’m going to try and make this as short and brief as possible, but damn. If you had told me three or so years ago after my retirement that I’d be in the position I’m in right now, I would’ve called you crazy. Reason being there was a point where I believed my career was completely over, and I didn’t mind that. It was at a time where I could finally walk off into the sunset knowing that I did everything I needed to do and accomplished everything I wanted upon my return. Sure in hindsight it was a bittersweet ending considering who the person I let execute the killing blow was, but nonetheless I could rest on my laurels… at the time to say the very least. Of course I still kept myself informed with the very company that I had started, and having that business sense, I saw the glaring issues that presented itself at the hands of one man.
Ronn Banks: It’s something I couldn’t stand idle for and flash forward to Grand Rampage 2021, I did exactly what this award pertains to, and made my return in the Grand Rampage match as the last entrant. Contrary to belief it was never because I was power-hungry and couldn’t live without a spotlight to steal, I don’t know why certain people decided to push that narrative, but here we are. It wasn’t even to come back to put myself in a cozy position near, or at, the top of the card heading into Pain For Pride, I didn’t even have a match then. I came back for two reasons, one more than the other and I’ll let you choose which one is which. All of you, and of course the unfinished business that I mentioned before against someone who would bring this party down a notch if I mentioned his name. After that business was settled, as much as humanly possible to say the least, I had some time to spare. So you know what I did? I did what I do best, and that’s build new talent and set them up to be the future of EAW, you’re welcome 😉.
Ronn Banks: So I appreciate the warm welcome that I got not just in the Grand Rampage match, but everywhere else I popped my head up after that, because it told me I was accomplishing what I set out to do, change the culture. I’m sure my return was a feel good moment got all of us and it showed what us in EAW are in its entirety, and that’s family. But it also showed that, just like I always set out to do, that I still got what it takes to hang with the new generation no matter what time or date I step into the ring. I know I still have some gas in the tank, but who knows what the hell happens to be next for me, don’t know myself. But the fact is that my calendar is free and the new year is always an opportunity to do some real extraordinary things in EAW, so we’re at this point where only time can tell. Until then, I’m going to cherish what I have and make some memories that people are going to remember for a long time. Thank you for the nomination, thank you for the award, and thank you for everything.
(‘Shock The World’ then begins to play up again while Banks takes his ‘Return Moment of the Year’ award and raises it in the air for everyone to see while the crowd cheers their hearts out for the legend himself. He still has a smile on his face while he looks very proud of himself and everything that he’s done recently while he tucks the award under his armpit. From there, he then turns around and makes his way back to the backstage area. It’s the last shot seen before An Aussie Summer Christmas Spectacular ultimately begins to fade ringside.)
(The camera pans around the ring to show tables, ladders, and chairs set up ringside before cutting over to a smiling Gina Romano in the ring.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A TABLES, LADDERS, AND CHAIRS MATCH WHERE THE ONLY WAY TO WIN THROUGH CLIMBING UP THE LADDER, AND RETRIEVING THE CONTRACT SUSPENDED ABOVE THE RING! WITH THE WINNER EARNING A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY!
(Madness” by KSI plays to a negative reaction as Abel a Atami steps from behind the curtain, walking with a certain swagger to the ring, confidence in tow.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! From Upolu, Samoa, weighing in at 247 pounds…HE IS THE SAMOAN MAMBA…ABEL ATAMI!!
Eve: Lots of newcomers in this match, but out of all of em, Abel Atami might just be the most domineering.
Deadprez: You’re right about that, this guy is nothing to be messed with, especially considering that weight and power advantage he has!
Eve: I imagine that the only time that couldn’t come in handy is a ladder match like this, which could hinder his progress compared to everybody else in how quickly he’s able to scamper up that ladder.
Deadprez: Not a problem when you demolish the competition enough, so they CANT take you off said ladder.
(‘Madness’ is soon cut off and replaced with “Downfall” by TRUSTcompany, which plays out Pandora Paisley to an equally negative reaction, the crowd not taking kindly to Paisley, who just exudes arrogance and confidence in her stride to the ring, keeping an eye on Atami.)
Gina Romano: Making her way to the ring! Residing out of Newark, New Jersey, weighing in at 126 pounds…SHE IS THE HELLCAT..PANDORA PAISLEY!!
Deadprez: I know Ronan Malosi’s in the back somewhere, hoping for a victory tonight on Pandora’s end, and considering his luck with gambles, I wouldn’t be shocked if this one comes up a success.
Eve: Yeah, Pandora is someone with all the tools here it seems, the look, the confidence, the swagger, and if she can put all those to good use, I’d see her run in EAW paying off nicely.
Gavin Kirkland: I’d hope so, anything to see this woman on top, in more ways than one if possible. :mjlit:
(‘Ser Real’ by Oscar Cortez Ft. T3R Elemento plays next, accompanying Roberto De La Rosa, who walks out with his valet in Esmeralda De La Rosa, who he exchanges words with before she heads to the back, Roberto starting his walk down the entrance ramp now.)
Gina Romano: From Hidalgo, Mexico, weighing in at 245 pounds…EL PADRASTRO…ROBERTO DE LA ROSA!!
Eve: Roberto preps for war here as he sends his wife to the back.
Deadprez: I imagine he doesn’t want her to get hurt in all this carnage, and he has the right idea, because whether you are in that ring or ringside, you have a high probability of if.
Eve: Yeah, I imagine these competitors looking to win by any means necessary, and wouldn’t mind putting their hands on an outside force to do it if she hinders their chances at that.
Deadprez: But regardless, I’m not sure if Roberto quite needs her as he can be a force on his own if needed.
(‘England Belongs To Me ‘ by Cock Sparrer blares throughout the arena as Oliver Taylor heads out now to a mixed reaction from fans, but Taylor doesn’t pay much attention, opting to eye the ladders, and environment down on his way to the ring.)
Gina Romano: From London, England, weighing in at 265 pounds…HE IS THE ENGLISH MASKED HEAVYWEIGHT WRESTLER..OLIVER TAYLOR!!
Eve: Taylor’s someone still looking for that big win, and if he can just find the opportune time tonight, he can have it.
Deadprez: You’re right about that as this man can truly be anyone’s game, and Taylor may be the most motivated to make it his.
Gavin Kirkland: Hopefully he lives up to that mask he dons, and does some cool lucha things!
(“Starless Sky” – LADYBABY plays down Usagi Senshi to a loud reaction as she waves to fans on her way to the ring, goalset on retrieving that contract.)
Gina Romano: From Fukuoka, Japan, weighing in at 140 pounds…SHE IS THE CRYPTIC ACE..USAGI SENSHI!!
Eve: In such a short time, it feels like Usagi Senshi has endeared herself to these fans, but she just has that energy about her that makes you wanna root for her.
Deadprez: Maybe it’s her work in that ring, which has shown to be quite hard hitting, it’s almost like she’s got a split personality when in there.
Eve: Yeah, she’s one who can be ruthless if needed, and I’m looking forward to seeing her performance in this matchup tonight.
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah, let’s see what ass-ets she brings to the table. :shaq:
(‘DESTINY’ by Saori Yoshida is the final theme to play, causing ARIA to come out from behind the curtain, high-fiving fans on her way to the ring, and seeming genuinely optimistic about this match.)
Gina Romano: And from Chandler, Arizona, weighing in at 127 pounds…THE SACRED DETECTIVE…ARIA!!
Eve: Speaking of people that have found themselves in favor with our audience on Showdown, ARIA’s name would definitely be in that category.
Deadprez: And her offense is a little bit different from the aforementioned Usagi, who’s looking to hit ya hard, but this woman is looking to do it all, including fly high.
Eve: It’s risk takers like her that can make a major difference in a match like this, not only giving us something entertaining to watch, but just showing how bad they want to win a match like, sacrificing their bodies if needed.
(All competitors crowd the ring as the timekeeper rings the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: Welp, the bell has rung, and all the competitors seem a bit weary on just what course of action to take in this TLC match, but Pandora Paisley makes the first move, possibly the smart move, sliding out of the ring. BUT WHILE TURNT AROUND TOWARDS PANDORA, OLIVER TOOK ADVANTAGE WITH A RUNNING ELBOW SMASH TO THE BACK OF HER HEAD, PUTTING THE BOOTS TO ARIA!
Deadprez: Remember, she made her debut at the expense of Taylor, this could be him exacting a bit of revenge as he sends ARIA out through the middle rope! BUT GETS BLINDSIDED BY USAGI SENSHI WITH A RUNNING JUMPING FOREARM SMASH! OLIVER GOT KNOCKED BACK TO THE CORNER, AND SENSHI IS UNLOADING WITH STRIKES, BUT THERES ABEL WITH A RUNNING CORNER SPLASH! SQUISHING BOTH ARIA AND TAYLOR TOGETHER!
Eve: Abel grabs ahold of ARIA, and dispatches her from the ring, Roberto doing the same with Taylor, and the two stare each other down in the middle of the ring. We know they must’ve been chomping at the bit to get at each other here, BUT FROM BEHIND, PANDORA WITH A DROPKICK TO ABEL, CAUSING HIM TO COLLIDE WITH ROBERTO, SPEARING DE LA ROSA THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! BOTH MEN GO FALLING OUT, AND PANDORA CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE AS THEY GET BACK TO THEIR FEET! CROSSBODY!!
Deadprez: NO! SHE GOT CAUGHT BY BOTH MEN, ALMOST IN POSITION FOR A DOUBLE FALLAWAY SLAM IT LOOKS LIKE- ARIA WITH A SUICIDE DIVE! BOTH MEN CRUMBLE TO THE FLOOR AS PANDORA ROLLS OFF THE TOP OF THEM! GETTING UP TO ONE KNEE BEFORE BEING STOPPED IN HER TRACKS BY ARIA WITH A BICYCLE KNEE! Speaking of ARIA, she just grabbed a ladder that was leant up against the barricade, and this by chance as she is now the only one standing.
Gavin Kirkland: I’d be fine if any of these fine women win! :mjlit:
Eve: I’m sure you would, as now ARIA sets that ladder up in the center of the ring, managing to climb a few rungs before Usagi yanks her off! CATCHING ARIA WITH A STRONG FOREARM SMASH THAT STAGGERS HER, long enough for Usagi to position that ladder in the corner, giving herself some space, so she can go to work on ARIA, who gets whipped off the ropes! BUT SLIDES UNDERNEATH THE LEGS OF SENSHI UPON REBOUND, USAGI TURNS AROUND, RIGHT INTO A HURRICANRANA!
Deadprez: USAGI’S BACK UP, BUT GOES REELING BACK INTO THE CORNER OFF A DROPKICK FROM A FIRED UP ARIA, WHO CHARGES HER, ONLY TO GET DUMPED OVER THE SHOULDER OF USAGI, ARIA’S FACE COLLIDING WITH THE TOP OF THE STEEL STEPS ON HER WAY DOWN! SENSHI GRABS THAT LADDER AGAIN, AND TRIES TO CENTER IT IN THE RING! BUT GETS YANKED OFF HERSELF AFTER CLIMBING ONLY A FEW RUNGS, THIS TIME BY OLIVER TAYLOR!
Eve: THE MASKED HEAVWEIGHT BIELS SENSHI INTO THE CORNER, CHARGING IN WITH A CLOTHESLINE, CAUSING HER TO SINK DOWN, AND OLIVER BEGINS STOMPING A MUDHOLE IN HER! BUT IS QUICK TO NOTICE ABEL GET UP ON THE APRON, KNOCKING HIM OFF WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE FROM INSIDE! Taylor has his sights set back on the seated Usagi in the corner, grabbing hold of her hair to stand his opponent back up, BUT FOREARM SMASH FROM USAGI STAGGERS TAYLOR BACK!
Deadprez: USAGI GETS UP TO THE MIDDLE ROPE, LOOKING TO DIVE OFF ONTO OLIVER, BUT SHE GETS CAUGHT OUTTA MIDAIR WITH A CHOKEHOLD, WHICH SOONS TURNS INTO A CHOKESLAM, THE HEIGHT USAGI GOT OFF OF THE THAT BEING INSANE!
Eve: Senshi rolls out of the ring, and now Taylor is to himself, but he seems to be trying to game himself up here, clearly a bit nervous about climbing that ladder, and it’s almost a relief when Pandora Paisley slides back into the ring, but before she can regain a vertical base, Oliver pummels her with stomps while she’s on all fours.
Gavin Kirkland: The only position I wanna see Pandora in. :shaq:
Eve: :russwtf:
Deadprez: Oliver rebounds Pandora off the ropes, but she hangs on to the opposite set, forcing Oliver to charge in, catching him with a boot, and Pandora grabs Oliver’s head to slam him face first into the side of the ladder while he was turnt around off that boot. Taylor clutches at his face while moving to the corner, hoping to catch a breather. Pandora doesn’t seem like the type to wanna give him one, however, but she notices Roberto trying to pull himself up on the apron, using the middle rope, so baseball slides him away, preventing him from doing so, but Roberto isn’t down completely, just sent stumbling back.
Eve: But I don’t think Pandora cares too much as she locks her focus in on Oliver, charging in with a running corner big boot! Paisley gets her foot off the rope, but walks back right into a German Suplex from an angered Roberto! Dropping Pandora right on her head! Oliver comes wandering out of that corner, barely able to stand as Roberto grabs him into a saito Suplex! Pandora starts to pull herself up using the ropes, but Roberto stalks her as she does so, LANDING A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE RIGHT TO THE SIDE OF HER HEAD AS SHE GOT UP TO A KNEE!
Deadprez: That was nasty as Abel is back in the ring, sidestepping Roberto’s attack, and sending him out through the middle, lining him up for a SUICIDE DIVE FOREARM SMASH! Abel gets back in the ring now, that ladder still being set up close to the middle, but before he can get a chance to climb it, both Usagi and ARIA slide in the ring! BUT ABEL HOISTS THE CHARGING ARIA UP FOR A SAMOAN DROP AS HE BIG BOOTS USAGI DOWN! BUT IN TURN, HE TAKES HIS ATTENTION OFF OLIVER, WHO CHOP BLOCKS HIM DOWN TO ONE KNEE!
Eve: ARIA rolls off the shoulders of Atami, who gets spiked with a DDT from Taylor, and Oliver moves that ladder closer to the ropes, then proceeds to spike the kneeling Atami with a DDT. ARIA’s back up now as she scores a kick to the midsection on Taylor, who fires back with a forearm! BUT ABEL’S BACK UP, TAKING BOTH DOWN WITH A RUNNING SHOULDER BLOCK BEFORE WORKING ON OLIVER IN THE CORNER WITH RAPID FIRE RIGHT HANDS! ARIA goes to join in on the action, but gets spun around by Usagi, who bounces her face first off the top turnbuckle in the opposite corner, going to work on her as well with European uppercuts, jacking the jaw of ARIA!
Deadprez: But both ARIA and Taylor start to fight their way out of the corner with punches to the head of their opposition! But in comes Pandora Paisley, throwing punches to just about anyone that moves, and all five competitors engage in combat, swinging wildly in the middle of the ring, almost all huddled together, GOOD ENOUGH FOR ROBERTO DE LA ROSA TO USE THAT TABLE AS A BATTERING RAM, HOLDING IT HORIZONTAL, ALMOST CREATING A DOMINO EFFECT AS EVERYONE LEAVES THEIR FEET BUT HIM!
Eve: Roberto now props that table up in the corner, switching to the ladder now, which he holds upside down, so he can use it to jab into the gut of a downed Abel! De La Rosa props that ladder up in a corner now too, and grabs Usagi, SENDING HER BACK FIRST INTO THAT LADDER WITH A BUCKLE BOMB! USAGI WRITHES ON THE FLOOR IN PAIN, WHICH I CAN JUST GURANTEE SHE’LL FEEL IN THE MORNING!
Deadprez: Roberto sets that ladder up in the middle of the ring again, and climbs to the top of it. BUT ARIA’S THERE TO STOP HIM FROM GETTING THAT CONTRACT, CLIMBING UP HERSELF, AND THROWING RAPID FIRE PUNCHES IN BUNCHES! It looks like Aria has cruel intentions in the mind as she wants Roberto to fall back into that table he has leant up in the corner, but De La Rosa’s hanging on tight!
Eve: For how long as his eyes start to get a bit more glossed with every shot ARIA gives him! BUT IN AN ACT OF DESPERATION, ROBERTO SLAMS HER DOWN FACE FIRST ON THE TOP CAP OF THAT LADDER! AND WHAT THE- LOOKS AS IF ROBERTO’S GONNA TRY TO POP OFF A SUPERPLEX OFF THE TOP OF THAT LADDER! BUT PAISLEY AND OLIVER STOP HIM! CLIMBING UP THE RUNG OF ROBERTO THEMSELVES, AND AIDING ARIA, GRABBING DE LA ROSA IN POSITION FOR A DOUBLE POWERBOMB!
Deadprez: BUT HES STILL HANGING ON FOR DEAR LIFE, SO ARIA RETURNS THE FAVOR ON ROBERTO, SLAMMING HIM FACE FIRST ON THAT TOP CAP NOW AS HE GETS POWERBOMBED OFF BY TAYLOR AND PANDORA! RIGHT THROUGH THE TABLE! Roberto lies in the rubble as both Paisley and Oliver shake hands, BUT PANDORA SHOWS WHERE HER TRUE ALLEGIANCE LIES, SUCKER PUNCHING OLIVER WITH “WTH!” THAT RIGHT HOOK CONNECTED AS TAYLOR COLLAPSES DOWN TO THE RING CANVAS!
Eve: Taylor rolls underneath the bottom rope, resting on the apron off that right, which must’ve knocked him loopy, Pandora admires her handiwork, BUT SHE QUICKLY TURNS AROUND, REALIZING ARIA IS UP ON THAT LADDER, AND REACHING FOR THE CONTRACT! PAISLEY SCAMPERS UP THERE IN A HURRY! PANDORA THROWS A FEW PUNCHES ARIA’S WAY BEFORE TRYING TO REACH FOR THE CONTRACT HERSELF, BUT ARIA RECOVERS TO DO THE SAME THING, BOTH WOMEN TRYING TO PULL IT DOWN NOW!
Deadprez: BUT FROM OUT OF NOWHERE, ATAMI STARTS TO TIP THE LADDER SIDEWAYS, BUT BOTH WOMEN MANAGE TO DROP OFF BEFORE HE CAN DO SO FULLY, LANDING ON THEIR FEET, HOWEVER, THEY’RE NOT PLANTED THERE FOR LONG AS ABEL TAKES THEM DOWN WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE ONCE THEY BOTH COME CHARGING AT HIM!! Abel sets that ladder in the middle of the ring now, and begins climbing!
Gavin Kirkland: Color me shocked he even can!
Eve: :wow: He doesn’t get far before Oliver Taylor recovers, and tries to pull him off by his ankle, but Abel just throws a stiff stomp to the face of Taylor, staggering him back for a bit! BUT OLIVER SHRUGS IT OFF, THROWING SOME SHOTS TO THE BACK OF ABEL BEFORE CLIMBING UP HIS SIDE OF THE LADDER HIMSELF, AND AN ENGLISH, OR WHAT SOME KNOW AS THE OLYMPIC SLAM IS WHAT TAKES ABEL OFF! But once getting up, Oliver turns around to notice Pandora back to her feet as well, the two going head-to-head, staring each other down, Oliver not having forgotten what Pandora just did to him.
Deadprez: BUT PAISLEY NOTICES ROBERTO COMING OUT OF THAT TABLE RUBBLE, AND KICKS HIM BACK DOWN TO THE MAT, PUTTING THE BOOTS TO DE LA ROSA, AND OLIVER JOINS IN! BUT TAYLOR STOPS PRETTY QUICKLY, TURNING ATTENTION BACK TO A DISTRACTED PAISLEY, WHO GETS THROWN OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! Oliver follows her to the outside, grabbing a steel chair from under the ring, AND A SHOT TO THE BACK FLOORS PAISLEY, PUTTING HER ON ALL FOURS AS OLIVER GOES HAM! CHAIRSHOT AFTER CHAIRSHOT AFTER CHAIRSHOT TO THE BACK!
Eve: Paisley is writhing on the floor in pain after that barrage, and Oliver sees this as a moment to toss the chair aside, and head back into the ring, looking to finally climb up that ladder now…WHICH HE DOES! But that fear seems to still linger, Oliver possibly going up a bit too slow here, being very careful with every step, BUT ROBERTO MAKES HIM PAY FOR IT, KNOCKING THE LADDER OVER, AND OLIVER FALLS THROAT FIRST ON THE TOP ROPE, FALLING TO THE MAT AFTERWARDS!
Deadprez: AND HERES USAGI, DRIVING THE TOP CAP OF A LADDER INTO ROBERTO’S GUT BEFORE HE COULD POSITION THE OTHER ONE BACK IN THE CENTER! De La Rosa backs himself in the corner now, looking to get a bit of reprieve. Usagi places the ladder down, very interesting that she doesn’t set it up, and watches ARIA as she tries to slide in the ring, stopping her with a kick to the head, AND PLANTING HER ON TOP OF IT WITH A POWERBOMB! ABEL’S BACK UP, AND GETS DDT’D ON THE LADDER!
Eve: Taylor gets back up to his feet, and tries to rush Usagi, WHO DROP-TOE-HOLDS HIM FACE FIRST ON THAT LADDER! Roberto comes stumbling out of that corner, and eats a kick to the gut for his troubles, USAGI’S GONNA TRY SOME SORT OF SUPLEX OR BRAINBUSTER NOW, BUT ROBERTO SHIFTS THE MOMENTUM TO HIS FAVOR, DROPPING HER GUT FIRST ON THE LADDER WITH A GOURDBUSTER!
Deadprez: You mighta spoke too soon there Eve as Usagi slips out the back, AND ROBERTO GETS SPUN AROUND, AND LIFTED ONTO THE SHOULDERS OF SENSHI FOR A CRITICAL DARLING! SAMOAN DRIVER ON THE LADDER! Roberto looks to be out as it’s now just him and Usagi left in the ring, and considering only one of em is still standing, I’d say Senshi has a good chance to win this thing right here as she sets up the ladder before climbing up!
Eve: But look, there’s Pandora Paisley, who’s quick to slide in, and bridges the ladder, using the rung of the one already set up by Usagi, and the middle rope! Paisley starts her ascension now to stop Usagi, who’s got her hands on the contract, BUT NOT FOR LONG AS PAISLEY TAGS HER WITH SHOTS TO THE BODY, AND PANDORA REACHES UP TO THE CONTRACT HERSELF! DOES SHE GOT IT?!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! USAGI ANSWERS BACK WITH FOREARM STRIKES THAT HAVE PAISLEY STUNNED! SENSHI CLIMBS A BIT HIGHER ON THAT LADDER TO HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF UNHOOKING CONTRACT NOW, BUT IT TURNS OUT TO BE A MISTAKE AS PANDORA BACK BODY DROPS HER ONTO THE BRIDGED LADDER UNDERNEATH! SHES GONNA NEED A MEDIC! LEMME JUST-
(Gavin tries to get up, but Eve puts her hand on his shoulder, and forcefully sits him back down.)
Gavin Kirkland: :will:
Eve: Pandora tries reaching for that contract again, having cleared the field, or she thought as Abel just rolled Usagi off that ladder to climb up on it himself, and delivers shots to the back of Pandora, yanking her down to his level as he tries to hook her up for what looks to be a uranage, possibly gonna send her down to the mat, and that’ll be no small drop! BUT PANDORA FIGHTS OUT OF IT WITH BACK ELBOWS TO THE SIDE OF ABEL’S HEAD, THEN PROCEEDS TO SLAM HIM FACE FIRST OFF THAT LADDER RUNG REPEATEDLY! ABEL’S LOOKING A LITTLE WOOZY AS PANDORA SHOVES HIM BACK ONTO ROBERTO DE LA ROSA, WHO HAD JUST GOTTEN BACK TO HIS FEET!
Deadprez: Pandora aims her attention back to the contract, but before she can begin her ascension, Oliver comes from outta nowhere to throw her off! But Pandora lands on all fours, managing to not take too damaging of a fall as she pulls Oliver’s leg out from under him, causing Taylor to crash gut first on that ladder, and Pandora takes advantage, hanging him off of the bridged ladder like it’s a rope for…CATASTROPHE! LADDER HUNG HEADLOCK DRIVER!
Eve: Pandora’s gonna try to climb up that ladder again, using the bridge as a stepping stone, but before she can do so, ABEL SHOVES HER RIB FIRST INTO THE BRIDGED LADDER BEFORE PLANTING HER WITH A URANAGE ON TOP OF IT! Pandora lies on top of that ladder, and Abel goes to the other side to climb up more traditionally! But a half conscious Oliver weakly grabs onto his ankle to stop him from doing so, BUT ABEL MOUNTS HIM WITH PUNCHES, LIFTING OLIVER UP NOW ON HIS SHOULDERS!
Deadprez: Pandora Paisley surprisingly rolls off that ladder, and is on wobbly legs here as she stumbles towards Atami, who lifts her up on his shoulders as well in a fireman’s carry! AND THERE IT IS! SAMOAN DROP! DOUBLE SAMOAN DROP ON BOTH COMPETITORS! THE STRENGTH OF ABEL ON FULL DISPLAY! Atami’s back up to his feet, but so is Roberto De La Rosa, who slides back into the ring, these two having a stare down, Atami going as far to knock over the ladder in order to clear room for himself and Roberto to brawl here.
Eve: BUT ARIA RE-ENTERS THE FRAY WITH A SUPERKICK TO ATAMI WHILE HE WAS DISTRACTED, AND A RUNNING DROPKICK TO ROBERTO, KNOCKING THE BACK INTO OPPOSITE CORNERS OF EACH OTHER! ARIA NOW CHARGES IN WITH A SHOTGUN DROPKICK TO ROBERTO, AND SOON ANOTHER TO ABEL, CAUSING THE TWO TO TAKE A SEAT IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CORNERS! ARIA TAKES ADVANTAGE WITH A RUNNING CANNONBALL TO ABEL! SHE TRIES TO FOLLOW UP WITH THE SAME TO ROBERTO, WHO CAME OUT OF THAT CORNER PREMATURELY WHILE SHE WAS CHARGING WITH A CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!
Deadprez: DE LA ROSA JUST TURNED HER INSIDE OUT! ARIA rolls out of the ring as ABEL AND ROBERTO START THROWING FISTICUFFS IN THE CENTER OF IT, ALMOST LIKE A HOCKEY FIGHT AS THESE TWO THROW HANDS BACK-AND-FORTH! BUT ROBERTO GETS THE ADVANTAGE, STUNNING ABEL WITH FOREARM STRIKES, BUYING HIMSELF TIME TO RUN OFF THE ROPES IN FRONT OF ABEL, WHO CATCHES HIM WITH A SNAPPY LOOKING SCOOP POWERSLAM!
Eve: ABEL STANDS ROBERTO UP NOW, GRABBING HIM BY THE THROAT, PREPPING HIM FOR THE SAMOAN SPIKE! BUT DE LA ROSA AVOIDS IT WITH A STERN KICK TO THE GUT, AND A SNAP PILEDRIVER! THE CALLING CARD CONNECTS, BUT IM NOT SURE IF HE GOT ALL OF IT AS ABEL ROLLS OUT OF THE RING! ROBERTO TRIES TO CLIMB THAT LADDER NOW HE POSITIONED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING NOW, BUT ARIA’S BACK IN THIS THING, PULLING HIM OFF TO LAND A STEP UP ENZIGURI THAT DROPS DE LA ROSA DOWN TO A KNEEL, keeping himself up with help from those ladder rungs, which he grabs onto!
Deadprez: ARIA moves to the other side of said ladder, not gonna waste any time to try and get that contract, knowing her time is limited, BUT ROBERTO! ROBERTO JUST TILTED THE LADDER BACKWARDS, AND ARIA USES QUICK THINKING, DIVING OFF WITH A MOONSAULT TO BOTH OLIVER AND ABEL ON THE OUTSIDE, ALL THREE GETTING WIPED OUT AS ROBERTO POSITIONS THAT LADDER BACK NORMALLY!
Eve: BUT ARIA ISNT DONE YET, SLIDING BACK INTO THAT RING, LOOKING TO CATCH ROBERTO WITH ANOTHER STEP UP ENZIGURI, BUT HE DUCKS IT THIS TIME, AND AS SOON AS HE BENDS DOWN TO GRAB ARIA, SHE SLIDES UNDERNEATH HIS LEGS, QUICKLY LIKE A CAT! ROBERTO DOESNT TURN AROUND IN TIME BEFORE HES ON THE RECEIVING END OF A BACKSTABBER! Roberto rolls out of the ring while ARIA gets back up to a vertical base, BUT OOH! PANDORA PAISLEY WITH A CHAIR SHOT TO THE BACK OF HEAD OF ARIA!
Deadprez: She might be out as Paisley drops the chair in order to catch her breath, the wear and tear of this match up having taken a toll on her! Pandora though sets up ARIA for a headlock driver on that chair, BUT ARIA SHOVES HER OFF, PANDORA GOES REBOUNDING OFF THE ROPES, COMING BACK WITH A CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT THAT GETS DUCKED BY ARIA, WHO HANDSPRINGS OFF THE ROPES! PANDORA TURNS AROUND…ZIRICON CUTTER ON THE CHAIR!!
Eve: But that short adrenaline rush of ARIA may have just worn off as she still goes on to favor the back of her head, slowly making her way up that ladder now! BUT USAGI IS THERE TO PULL HER OFF, LANDING AN ELBOW SMASH THAT STAGGERS ARIA BACK INTO THE CORNER! Usagi lifts up that chair off the mat now, and swings for the head of ARIA, WHO DUCKS! CAUSING THAT CHAIR TO RICOCHET OFF THE TURNBUCKLE, AND BACK INTO THE FACE OF SENSHI!
Deadprez: BLUE THUNDER BOMB ON A GROGGY USAGI CONNECTS! ARIA rolls out underneath the bottom rope afterwards, pulling Senshi to the outside, and whipping her shoulder first into the steel steps! BUT ARIA TURNS AROUND INTO A SPEAR FROM ROBERTO DE LA ROSA, WHICH HE CALLS THE TALON DE ÁGUILA! Roberto gets a sinister look in his eyes now, leaning three tables up against the apron, side by side, having some sorta plan in mind here, grabbing both Usagi and ARIA for a double Suplex through said tables!
Eve: BUT THEY HOLD THEIR WEIGHT DOWN, SHIFTING THE MOMENTUM TO-
(Commentary team clear way as Usagi and ARIA work together to double Suplex Roberto on the announce table, which doesn’t break.)
Gavin Kirkland: GOOD GOD! ROBERTO JUST GOT SUPLEXED ON OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE!
Eve: BUT USAGI GRABS ARIA BY THE HEAD, AND SENDS HER THROUGH THE TABLE PROPPED UP IN THE MIDDLE! ARIA’s down, and Usagi starts to go to work now as she sets up those other two tables side by side ringside, and she’s gonna try to Suplex Roberto again, this time, off our announce desk, and through those tables! But Roberto fights out of it, throwing Usagi off the side, and she goes face first into the barricade! Roberto gets off our table now, and stumbles his way in the ring, still not 100% recovered just yet.
Deadprez: Roberto climbs up the ladder in the middle of the ring, but Abel slides in to do the same himself, the two locking eyes at the top, and exchanging blows! BUT HERE COMES PANDORA PAISLEY WITH A LADDER THAT SHE PLACES RIGHT NEXT TO THE OTHER ONE, AND STARTS TO CLIMB HERSELF! PANDORA BEGINS REACHING FOR THAT CONTRACT, ABEL AND ROBERTO ARE STILL FIGHTING, THEY MIGHT BE TOO BUSY TO NOTICE WHATS GOING ON!
Eve: BUT ABEL MANAGES TO SEE, AND THROWS SHOTS TO THE BODY OF PANDORA, WHOS RIGHT BESIDE HIM! But in the chaos, Oliver starts to climb up the ladder himself, once at the top, getting met with strikes from Roberto, who slams him face first off his respective top cap, Oliver falls down, but starts to climb up the ladder that the freshly recovered ARIA sets up next to Roberto’s and Abel’s! I don’t even know how ARIA is still standing right now after she recently got put through that table, but maybe it’s a will to win as she exchanges blows with Taylor, Roberto, and Abel at the top!
Deadprez: PANDORA’S BACK REACHING FOR THAT CONTRACT AS THE OTHERS BRAWL, BUT HERES USAGI UP ON THAT LADDER AS WELL TO STOP HER! HOWEVER, THAT MIGHTA BEEN AS MISTAKE AS BOTH ABEL AND ROBERTO KICK THE LADDER OVER, CAUSING BOTH COMPETITORS TO GO THROAT FIRST ACROSS THE TOP ROPE! ARIA TURNS TO HER LEFT SIDE, AND TAKES ABEL DOWN WITH A CUTTER OFF THAT LADDER, AND NOW ITS LEFT TO ROBERTO AND TAYLOR!
Eve: TAYLOR GRABS ROBERTO IN A CHOKEHOLD…CHOKESLAM OFF THE LAD- NO! ROBERTO SLAMS THE HEAD OF OLIVER OFF THE LADDER, AND HITS ANOTHER SPEAR LIKE EARLIER, THIS TIME OFF THE LADDER! Meanwhile, both Pandora and Usagi rolled underneath the bottom rope out to the apron, and are pulling themselves up now, slowly exchanging strikes! PANDORA WITH A RIGHT! ..USAGI WITH A RIGHT! ..PAISLEY FIRES BACK! BUT USAGI LANDS A ROUNDHOUSE KICK THAT STUNS PAISLEY!
Deadprez: And Usagi starts to notice the two tables she set up ringside, A DEVILISH LOOK IN HER EYE AS SHE TRIES TO GERMAN SUPLEX PANDORA OFF THE APRON! BUT PAISLEY IS HANGING ON TO THE TOP ROPE FOR DEAR LIFE, AND WITH GOOD REASON! BUT USAGI THROWS SOME SHOTS TO THE BACK, AND FINALLY MANAGES TO HIT THE ACE-PLEX THROUGH THE TABLES! HIGH-ANGLE RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX!
Eve: Yeah, but in the process, she sacrificed herself, and looks to be suffering the consequences as she lies in that rubble of tables along with Paisley. In the ring, Roberto tips all the ladders over, but the one slap dab in the middle as he begins his ascension, everybody’s down! No one there to stop him-
Deadprez: ARIA! ARIA JUST SPRINGBOARDED HERSELF ONTO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE LADDER, MUCH TO THE SHOCK OF ROBERTO, WHO TRIES TO SCAMPER UP TO GRAB THAT CONTRACT, BUT ARIA IS THERE AS WELL, LANDING A HEADBUTT RIGHT TO THE STERNUM OF ROBERTO, WHO GOES CRASHING BACK DOWN TO THE MAT! ARIA NOW HAS HER HANDS ON THAT CONTRACT! CAN SHE UNHOOK IT?!
Eve: SHE CAN!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘DESTINY’ by Saori Yoshida plays to a thunderous ovation as ARIA raises the contact in victory at the top of the ladder.)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner…. AARRRIIAAAAA!!!!!!
Eve: What a match between all six of these competitors.
Deadprez: That’s an understatement as all of them brought their best shot, but in the end, ARIA secured the victory.
Gavin Kirkland: Hotness prevails!
Eve: But you gotta think, maybe ARIA was on a bit of the lucky side, I mean, we saw Usagi take herself out to take out Paisley, who’s to say she wouldn’t have been there to stop ARIA if she hadn’t?
Deadprez: Well, that’s the key in these ladder matches, it’s all about strategy, and it’s all about taking advantage of mistakes made by your opponents, and there were a few big ones made tonight.
(ARIA slowly climbs down the ladder, and starts heading to the back with her contract that holds a unique opportunity, holding it high in the air once she’s up the ramp as the camera fades elsewhere.)
( Commercial break for pepper spray. When you have a finisher that is a rear naked choke called fall and pray, you are probably a prime candidate to get pepper sprayed. )
( After EAW shows off some of the amazing highlights from 2021, we return back inside the arena. )
(With the stage being arranged accordingly with clouds of fake snow lining the edges of the floor as well as the backdrop while swirls of flakes come down from overhead. As snowflake patterns move around on the LED stage floor, what also makes up the setting are too many stacks of wrapped presents of various sizes to count, giant candy canes populating the background, two enormous wooden soldiers on either side of the entrance area, and an enormous red and white gift-wrapped box reminiscent of a jack-in-the-box is in the middle of the entire setup, it’s clear that things are getting set for the performance of a lifetime! White cutouts of trees of various sizes are placed toward the back, decorated with tinsel and an excessive amount of glitter in white, red, and gold to get them to shine whenever the lights hit them. It’s a whole fucking lot going on, but could anyone have expected anything less?)
Gavin Kirkland: IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING! I’VE WAITED MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE FOR THIS! I TIME TRAVELED INTO THE FUTURE FOR THIS PERFORMANCE HERE ALONE :blessed:!!!!
Stew-O: First of all, all you did was cross time zones :skip:
Gavin Kirkland: It sounds lamer when you say it like that and this deserves all the hype – this is supposed to be HUGE!
Persephone: Can someone tell me why we’re wasting time on this shit? It’s not like she’s even any good and I’m ready to get back home :noah:!
Gavin Kirkland: Whether she’s good or not doesn’t matter at all to me when I hear the outfit is supposed to be what makes it all worth it :mjlit:!!
Stew-O: Is that all you’re interested in from this?
Gavin Kirkland:
Gavin Kirkland: You tell me :mjlit:
Persephone: 🤢
(Just then the lights dim, and the crowd begins to buzz as they know that Candice Blair will be out to perform next. As the opening rings of ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ begin to sound, gorgeous dancers carrying candy canes gleefully dash out onto the stage and into a pose as Candice’s voice can be heard throughout the arena. Two of the dancers begin to turn the crank while her voice casts out over the audience.)
🎵 I don’t want a lot for Christmas 🎵
🎵 There is just one thing I need 🎵
🎵 I don’t care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree 🎵
(Just then the top of the box begins to rise and a bright light comes breaking out of it until the entire top comes over, causing a beam of light to shoot straight up from it and it’s followed by billowing white smoke, as slowly rising from out of the opening on a platform from the stage is Candice Blair! She continues singing the opening introduction through the headset she’s wearing as she continues to rise through the floor and to the top of the gift box, revealing herself to be in a form fitting, eye-catching red leotard that bears white fluff at the end at the ends of the sleeves and around the neckline. The heels she wears match the red of the outfit, as does the bold color of the lipstick that’s been applied perfectly to her lips while her long blonde hair falls in waves past her shoulders.)
🎵 I just want you for my own 🎵
🎵 More than you could ever know 🎵
🎵 Make my wish come true 🎵
🎵 All I want for Christmas is you 🎵
(The lighting of the arena flashes before it’s back to normal, beams of strobe lighting from around the stage dancing around the arena as the lead in to the first verse begins to play, and Candice makes her way down a short flight of stairs beside the giant gift she came out of, before heading to the prop fireplace that’s lined with stockings just above it, and beside it is a decorative Christmas tree that’s complete with ornaments and presents provided beneath it. Candice approaches both in time with the lyrics as her background dancers prance and skip their way behind her, waving the prop candy canes with bright smiles on their faces as Candice continues on with the song!)
🎵 I don’t want a lot for Christmas 🎵
🎵 There is just one thing I need (And I) 🎵
🎵 Don’t care about the presents 🎵
🎵 Underneath the Christmas tree 🎵
🎵 I don’t need to hang my stocking 🎵
🎵 There upon the fireplace (Ah) 🎵
🎵 Santa Claus won’t make me happy 🎵
🎵 With a toy on Christmas Day 🎵
(Candice shakes her head and dramatically kicks a box to the side on her way away from the tree, the dancers following in her path behind her.)
🎵 I just want you for my own 🎵
🎵 More than you could ever know 🎵
🎵 Make my wish come true 🎵
🎵 All I want for Christmas is you 🎵
🎵 You, baby 🎵
(Dancing polar bears, men dressed as toy soldiers, and multiple Santas make their way out, criss-crossing past each other as they leave their uniform lines to get to where they need to be on the stage, cartwheeling and backflipping into place to join the other dancers behind Candice now that the giant gift box has been moved! Candice, meanwhile, continues to remain out in front of the group with the crowd cheering her on!)
🎵 Oh, I won’t ask for much this Christmas 🎵
🎵 I won’t even ask for snow (And I) 🎵
🎵 I’m just gonna keep on waiting 🎵
🎵 Underneath the mistletoe 🎵
🎵 I won’t make a list and send it 🎵
🎵 To the North Pole for Saint Nick (Ah) 🎵
🎵 I won’t even stay awake to 🎵
🎵 Hear those magic reindeer click 🎵
(A number of the dancers mimic two lines of reindeer pulling a sleigh with a Santa just behind them as they move around the stage, making their way around others that appear hopeful under actual mistletoe near the fireplace and Christmas tree. Just then, a few imposter Santas get Candice off her feet by lifting her up from under her now outstretched arms and getting her onto their shoulders, slowly spinning as she goes leaning back into the awaiting hands of more Santas that assist in keeping her raised over their heads as she continues to sing.)
🎵 ‘Cause I just want you here tonight (Ooh) 🎵
🎵 Holding on to me so tight (Ooh) 🎵
🎵 What more can I do? 🎵
🎵 Oh baby, all I want for Christmas is you 🎵
🎵 You, baby 🎵
(Candice is gently brought back down and onto her heels in a fluid motion by her costumed dancers, just a few of whom start down the ramp tossing presents into the crowd from sacks they carry with them! As Candice looks to continue the song, she finds herself back at the center of the winter wonderland set!)
🎵 Oh, all the lights are shining 🎵
🎵 So brightly everywhere 🎵
🎵 And the sound of children’s 🎵
🎵 Laughter fills the air-
Persephone: :mjlol:!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: XIMENA VELASQUEZ JUST BULLDOZED CANDICE TO THE GROUND FROM BEHIND!!!
Persephone: Her timing is great, she sure got a laugh out of me :mjlol:!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: This fucking bull-built bitch is absolutely no fucking fun :mjcry:
Stew-O: AND NOW XIMENA STARTS STOMPING THE HELL OUT OF CANDICE! AND CANDICE’S DANCERS SCURRY OFF AND AWAY FROM THE SCENE UNFOLDING IN FRONT OF THEM!
(Candice is down on the ground and she tries to cover up, but Ximena continues aiming for any opening she can find to send her boots down on the performer. The backup dancers want absolutely no fucking part of this as they leave Candice to fend for herself, but there’s not much fending to be done as Ximena is all over her and she drops down into punches, putting everything into them! The crowd boos Ximena, who gets to her feet and stands over Candice, glaring down at her in disgust before she looks up to cast the same expression at the jeering crowd.)
Ximena Velasquez: (off-mic) Is the kind of crap you guys like?! This basura?! I’m not having it! I’m putting a stop to all this shit right here, right now!
Persephone: This is the first time anyone’s ever said this, but thank God for Ximena :blessed:! Someone finally shut this bitch up and it’s the one good thing Ximena’s ever done in her miserable fucking life.
Gavin Kirkland: But Candice wasn’t even done performing! I didn’t get enough pictures of her ass :noah:!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Ximena decided that she was done sitting around and waiting for this to finish up, and knowing that these two will be meeting in the first round of the Empress of Elite Tournament, Ximena’s looking to send a clear message! She kicks Candice in the ribs, getting a shout of Candice that’s heard around the arena thanks to that microphone headset Candice is still wearing, and Ximena grinds her boot against Candice’s face while she’s down, just adding insult to injury!
Gavin Kirkland: Not the face :noah:!!!!!!!
Persephone: Great, here comes Santa to the rescue. 🙄 One of these guys is trying to get Ximena out of here, but she just low-blowed Santa with a kick and now he’s down on the ground :mjlol:!!!!
Stew-O: Candice is trying to get herself but it just might be wise to stay down, as Ximena’s only going to inflict more punishment! Candice gets herself off the ground AND XIMENA PULLS OF THE SANTA’S BAGS DOWN OVER CANDICE’S HEAD!! XIMENA PULLS ON THE DRAWSTRING OF THE PRESENT SACK TO FASTEN IT AROUND CANDICE NOW THAT CANDICE’S ARMS ARE TRAPPED INSIDE OF IT, AND XIMENA GRABS HER TO THROW HER INTO THE CHRISTMAS TREE AND ITS PRESENTS UNDERNEATH IT!
(Stacks of presents get knocked over along with the tree as Candice is stuck struggling in trying to get out, and Ximena backpedals from the scene with her arms raised out her sides, as if daring anyone to try to come at her now. Ximena, however, eventually makes her way past officials that hurry out and doesn’t give them a second look despite some of them trying to verbally reprimand her for her actions, and they move on with the others to Candice, getting her out of the toy sack and sitting up.)
Stew-O: What a way to bring this performance of Candice’s to an end! This surely won’t go over well with her when she was so excited to do this!
Persephone: And she’ll be the only one complaining; I just think it’s a real shame Ximena didn’t show up a whole hell of a lot sooner! What the fuck was she doing that whole time anyway?!
Gavin Kirkland: Fuck that bitch, she’s going straight to Hell for this! I got some good shots tho :drakelike:!!!
Persephone: You’re disgusting.
Gavin Kirkland: Just admit that you’re just jealous, but don’t worry, there’s enough of me to go around :mjlit:
Persephone: Keep harassing me like I have the patience for your bullshit and it’ll be your chestnuts roasting on an open fire.
Stew-O: :lupe:!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Don’t threaten me with a good time :mjlit:
(The officials assisting Candice clear away the debris of presents, ornaments and other decorations, and snapped tree twigs upon getting Candice out of the toy sack. They sit her up and she understandably looks angry, shaking her head as she’s helped to her feet, the headset removed by those helping her as they get her up.)
Candice Blair: (off-mic) What the fuck is her problem?! That bitch is absolutely going to pay for this! She thinks she’s getting past me in the tournament after this?! Hell no! She won’t be the one to do that, it’s not happening – but I’m gonna be the one to take that bitch the fuck out!
(Candice continues to run her mouth about Ximena, the officials acting as if they could possibly understand how she’s feeling just so that they can get the stage cleaned up. The low-blow’d Santa is helped as well to the back, but just ahead of him, Candice is still going off on what just happened to her as she angrily walks her way to the back, the scene fading out.)
Gavin Kirkland: AND we’re moving onto the next match of the night as –
Persephone: WHAT IN THE HELL? SOMEONE PAN TO THE BACK!
(The camera pans to Ximena Velasquez and Sierra beating the crap out of each other backstage. It seems to be right after Ximena’s abrupt attack targeting Candice Blair, where Sierra has personally hunted Ximena down and attacked her. Ximena whips Sierra against the wall backstage as she goes right after her, but Sierra throws an elbow back, which stops her in her tracks!)
Stew-O: I knew that things were intense between these two! I mean, can you blame Ximena for being angry at Sierra, who is basically the reason why she’s not the Universal Women’s Champion?
Gavin Kirkland: SIERRA GETS XIMENA BY HER ANKLES AND CONNECTS WITH A DROP TOE HOLD AS XIMENA VELASQUEZ FALLS FACE FIRST AGAINST THE CRATES! THEN, SIERRA GETS XIMENA BY HER PONYTAIL AS IT SEEMS LIKE SHE THROWS THE BIGGER WOMAN THROUGH THE CURTAIN AS –
(Finally, the two women are in front of the crowd, which cheers due to the action being brought to them.)
Persephone: SIERRA THROWS XIMENA DOWN THE RAMP AS ‘LA DIOSA’ OR WHATEVER GOES ROLLING DOWN THAT RAMP! NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE SIERRA IS RUNNING TOWARDS XIMENA WITH A SOMERSAULT CLOTHESLINE! THIS TAKES BOTH OF THE WOMEN DOWN, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE SIERRA IS GETTING XIMENA AND ROLLING HER INTO THE RING! SIERRA SEES THAT XIMENA IS FINDING HER WAY BACK TO HER FEET AS –
Stew-O: ‘SEROTONIN’ ON XIMENA AS THAT KNOCKS HER BACK TO THE CORNER! THE REFEREE FINALLY FINDS HIS WAY IN BETWEEN THE TWO WOMEN! Sierra is demanding for the referee to ring the bell and begin this match, but the referee is checking with Ximena Velasquez to see if she’s good to compete, but Ximena is demanding for the bell to be rung! With a bit of hesitation, the referee brings the bell as this match begins!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Ximena Velasquez is forcing herself up to her feet as Sierra charges right towards ‘La Diosa!’ SHE POUNCES ON XIMENA, CAUSING HER TO FALL BACK INTO THE CORNER! SIERRA IS CONNECTING WITH A SERIES OF LEFT AND RIGHTS, TRYING TO WEAR DOWN THE BIGGER WOMAN! SIERRA PROCEEDS TO CONNECT WITH SOME STOMPS TO THE WOMAN WHO FEELS LIKE SHE SHOULD BE THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION!
Gavin Kirkland: Ximena Velasquez uses that mighty strength of her to shove her former tag team partner away from her! Ximena uses that time to straighten herself up, but Sierra charges towards Ximena again, but Ximena manages to catch Sierra mid-air! Sierra is shaking her head no as she feels like she knows what is going to happen next! She hoists Sierra up on one shoulder, but Sierra slides out of position for a potential power move from the six-feet female! Sierra tries to shove Ximena towards the perpendicular set of ropes as it seems like she plans to go for a roll up, but Ximena manages to clutch onto the ropes as Sierra rolls herself back to her feet!
Persephone: Ximena turns herself around as Sierra runs towards her, nailing her with a dropkick, but it was only enough to knock her down to one knee! Sierra rushes towards Ximena before taking her down with a basement dropkick! Sierra rushes for the cover!
OOONNNNEEEEE!!!!
Stew-O: XIMENA VELASQUEZ SHOVES SIERRA OFF OF HER! LOOK AT THAT POWER!
Gavin Kirkland: That woman is a freak of nature! But, Sierra doesn’t stay down for long as jumps on Ximena Velasquez like a jungle cat before proceeding to throw some left and right punches to the bigger woman! But, it seems like we’re going to be seeing some fight from ‘La Diosa’ as she rolls herself on top of Sierra before throwing punches of her own! She grabs Sierra by that colorful hair of her’s! She’s muttering a couple of Mexican things to her now! Not gonna lie, but that sound kinda hot –
Persephone: Oh god, this is the last thing that I wanted to happen and that was having a broadcast partner simp for someone. 🙄 I have to deal with this with Rich on Voltage, so let me not deal with it with you.
Gavin Kirkland: I am a true feminist, Persephone. I need to let these women know that someone admires them.
Stew-O: Ximena Velasquez has always taken pride in her appearance. I mean, just look at the muscles. Those back muscles. :damn:
Gavin Kirkland: SIERRA JUST SLAPPED THE TASTE OUT OF THE MOUTH OF XIMENA VELASQUEZ! I’M GUESSING, XIMENA SAID SOMETHING TO HER THAT SIERRA DIDN’T LIKE, BUT DO YOU SEE THAT? XIMENA DIDN’T EVEN FLINCH. The only thing that she seemed to do was turn her head to the side, but you can see the serious look on her face. I’ve seen that look, guys. Cleopatra gets that similar look on her face when she believes that she’s been disrespected –
Persephone: I get that look on my face when I realize that Rex isn’t going to show up tonight.
Stew-O: But, Ximena Velasquez battery rams Sierra to one of the corners! Now, the taller woman is going to connect with a series of shoulder thrusts on ‘The Killjoy!’ Judging by the look on Sierra’s face, it seems like each of Ximena’s shouler thrusts are stabbing her ribs! Ximena lifts Sierra off her feet and places her on the top turnbuckle! BUT, BEFORE XIMENA CAN DO ANYTHING, SIERRA DELIVERS A BOOT TO THE FOREHEAD OF XIMENA, WHICH CAUSES HER TO BACK AWAY JUST A TINY BIT! BUT, SIERRA STRAIGHTENS HERSELF ON THE TOP ROPE! SHE JUMPS ON XIMENA, CONNECTING WITH A HURRICANRANA –
Gavin Kirkland: Not quite, Stew! Ximena Velasquez manages to stop Sierra’s momentum as she has the smaller Elitist stuck upside down! Ximena lifts her up, repositioning Sierra in a powerbomb position! Sierra seems to be panicking a little bit as she connects with some punches to the top of Ximena’s forehead!
Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX!…
Persephone: It doesn’t phase Ximena, who still has Sierra in a powerbomb position! She is going forward!
Crowd: SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN!
Stew-O: XIMENA VELASQUEZ LOSES HER BALANCE MOMENTARILY BEFORE REGAINING IT! SHE SHIFTS HERSELF TOWARDS ONE OF THE CORNERS AS THROWS SIERRA TO THE TURNBUCKLE! Sierra manages to catch herself, but Ximena runs towards her like a freaking train, but Sierra gets her boot up, pushing her away! But, Ximena catches Sierra’s foot and pulls her closer before knocking her down with a clothesline! Sierra clutches the back of her neck, but Ximena gets Sierra up to her feet! Ximena gets Sierra by the wrist before whipping her towards the parallel set of ropes!
Gavin Kirkland: Sierra rebounds herself off those ropes, but Ximena Velasquez manages to use the momentum of her former partner by connecting with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker! Man, I think that I could hear the sound of Sierra’s lowerback cracking. Who knees that backcracker that I’ve seen on TikTok when you got Ximena to straighten your back out for you?
Persephone: Not going to lie, but I bought that and it works great for all the times I’ve carried the Voltage commentary team on my back. :wow:
Stew-O: Ximena Velasquez goes for the cover on Sierra!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWW–
Gavin Kirkland: Sierra with a kick out as she’s not planning to give up anytime soon! Ximena sits up ‘The Killjoy’ before beginning to bash her shoulder with her elbow! Ximena gets Sierra in a chinlock as she’s muttering a few things in Mexican. Oh god… 😍
Persephone: That woman could call you a filthy Scotsman and you’d be like “yes mommy. 😍”
Stew-O: Didn’t he do that with Limmy Monaghan last week? :mjlol:
Gavin Kirkland: I need a replacement for my handsome Ace and Limmy might be it. :mjcry:
Persephone: You can see the ugly look of frustation on Sierra’s face as she’s trying to reach for those ropes. Sierra is grinding her teeth, trying to fight through the pain, but it seems like Ximena has a good grasp on her! She would love to bounce back from the loss at Road to Redemption and end her year a more than positive note. I mean, she can’t end the year like a loser, right?
Stew-O: Knowing Sierra, she could careless about the win/loss outcome, but I do believe that she maybe rubbed the wrong way by Ximena Velasquez rise on the Dynasty brand. She’s had two opportunities at the Universal Women’s Champion while Sierra needed to go outside the Dynasty brand, onto the Showdown brand, to look for some sort of opportunity! I don’t think that Sierra anticipated for Ximena to surpass her when it came to the concept of breaking out as fast as she did.
Gavin Kirkland: With someone that stands out like Ximena, it would be difficult for her NOT to stand out! I don’t blame Sierra for feeling like she’s been wronged and that Ximena moved on without doing anything about what happened between those two.
Persephone: Sierra is just bitter that Ximena Velasquez has more star-power than she will ever have. Imagine by surpassed by an ugly looking sasquash? Rex could never!
Stew-O: Sierra is using her strength to try to get herself to her feet! SHE’S TRYING TO USE HER OWN HANDS TO CLAW XIMENA’S HANDS AWAY FROM HER CHIN! IT SEEMS LIKE SHE’S STABBING HER NAILS INTO THE HANDS OF ‘LA DIOSA!’ SIERRA MANAGES TO THROW AN ELBOW TO THE FACE OF XIMENA VELASQUEZ! THIS MOVES XIMENA BACK AS SIERRA TRIES TO TURN HERSELF AROUND, BUT XIMENA MANAGES TO GET A HOLD OF SIERRA’S OTHER ARM, BUT SIERRA CONNECTS WITH AN ENZIGIRI AS THAT STAGGERS THE FORMER NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP! SIERRA MANAGES TO CREATE SOME DISTANCE BETWEEN HER AND HER FORMER TAG TEAM PARTNER!
(For what seems to be the first time in this match, Ximena Velasquez and Sierra look at each from across the ring. It’s clear as day that the two of these women have some unresolved issues with each other. Both have held some things back for months, but it all seems to be unleashing tonight in Sydney. Ximena’s star has risen over the number of her months thanks to her matches with Ms. Extreme. She had a look that made people want to pay attention to her and see her as a future World Champion. With Sierra, she’s had a tougher hill to climb. She had found some success with The Realm, had opportunities at championships, but the moment hasn’t truly clicked with her. While not caring about the results, she believes that she’s a damn good wrestler, who can inflict as much pain as she possible can.)
Gavin Kirkland: SIERRA RUNS TOWARDS XIMENA VELASQUEZ, BUT XIMENA SWINGS A CHOP AT SIERRA, STOPPING HER! SIERRA IS CLUTCHING HER CHEST, BUT SHE DELIVERS A CHOP TO THE CHEST OF XIMENA! XIMENA DOESN’T MOVE AS SHE SLAPS HER HAND ACROSS THE CHEST OF SIERRA! SIERRA IS CLUTCHING TO HER CHEST, BUT SHE USES HER OTHER HAND TO SLAP XIMENA IN THE CHEST! You can see both of these women’s chest getting rid, but these two are slapping each other’s chests back-and-forth! Sierra connects with a shoot kick to the side of Ximena’s left leg! And another one! And another one! And another one! Ximena begins to clutch her left leg as she sweeps Ximena’s leg from underneath her!
Persephone: Ximena falls to her side, but Sierra knocks Ximena down with a bicycle knee strike to the face! Sierra with the cover! Can this match end here?!?
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!
Stew-O: XIMENA THROWS SIERRA OFF OF HER! But, Sierra refuses to go down as she gets on top of Ximena Velasquez before throwing a couple of punches to her face! She gets up before proceeding to stomp on the body of Ximena! She is trying to keep the bigger woman down, but it seems like Ximena is finding herself in a crawling position, refusing to let Sierra kick her down! Sierra delivers a sharp looking kick to the ribs of Ximena, which takes her to her back! Sierra gets Ximena by her right hand, pulls it back and slams it against the mat! For the first time, I think I have heard Ximena react to what Sierra has done to her!
Gavin Kirkland: SIERRA IS PULLING BACK ON THE FINGERS BEFORE SHE SPIKES IT BACK AGAINST THE MAT! XIMENA CLUTCHES HER FINGERS WITH HER FREE HAND! THE REFEREE IS TRYING TO BACK AWAY ‘THE KILLJOY’ AS HER EYES HAVE NOT LET GO OF XIMENA! IT’S ALMOST LIKE SIERRA’S ANNOYED THAT THE OFFICIAL NEEDS TO CHECK ON XIMENA! SIERRA IS GESTURING FOR XIMENA TO GET UP! The referee is checking up on Ximena, who is starting to get to one knee, but Sierra rushes towards Ximena with a lou thez press before slamming Ximena’s head against the mat! Sierra proceeds to throw her punches before getting to her feet! Sierra is gesturing for Ximena to get up, but at the first sign of Ximena getting to her knees, Sierra rushes towards Ximena with a meteora! Sierra in perfect position for the cover!
OOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTT–
Persephone: Ximena throws Sierra off of her, but Sierra rolls herself to her feet! Ximena rolls to a crawling position, but Sierra slams the face of Ximena against the mat! Ximena is rolling onto her back, but it seems like Sierra is heading for the top rope! Is she going for a high-risk move?
Stew-O: She’s been knowing to the the double foot stomp, but this is the exact same move that ended Ximena Velasquez run in the Chamber. Yes, it was thanks to Sierra’s presence, but it was ‘A Blind Fury’ by Ms. Extreme that gave her the victory.
Gavin Kirkland: No! It seems like Ximena Velasquez is rolling herself underneath the bottom rope! It was a smart strategy from ‘La Diosa!’ Sierra shakes her head as Ximena drops to the floor at ringside! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE SIERRA IS SHIFTING HER BODY TOWARDS XIMENA AT RINGSIDE! A DIVING SOMERSAULT SENTON TO XIMENA, WHO DROPS DOWN AT RINGSIDE! IN THE PROCESS, SIERRA DROPS DOWN! XIMENA TRIED TO CATCH SIERRA, BUT THE MOVE WAS TOO QUICK FOR HER TO DO ANYTHING! THESE TWO FIERCE COMPETITORS ARE PULLING ALL THE STOPS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY WALK OUT OF SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA WITH THE VICTORY!
Persephone: It seems like Sierra is scrambling to her feet! She backs away towards the edge of the apron as she tries to get Ximena back to her feet, but Ximena shoves Sierra against the edge of the apron! Ximena uses the steel steps to help her to her feet! She uses that right hand that Sierra was targeting a bit earlier in the match! Sierra sees it –
Stew-O: SIERRA JUST KICKED IN THE STEEL STEPS, CRUSHING XIMENA VELASQUEZ’ RIGHT HAND IN THE PROCESS! :damn: :damn: :damn: YOU CAN HEAR THE SCREAMING FROM ‘LA DIOSA’ FROM THE NOSEBLEED SEATS!
Gavin Kirkland: That was a magnificent opening from the former Unified Tag Team Champion! It was a bit of a rookie mistake from Ximena Velasquez, but you can’t leave Sierra with ANY sort of opening in this match or that happens! SIERRA SEPARATES XIMENA’S HAND FROM THE STEEL STEPS BEFORE SLAMMING IT AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE APRON! THIS CAUSES FOR XIMENA TO FALL BACK TOWARDS OUR DESK! SIERRA CHARGES TOWARDS XIMENA WITH A YAKUZA KICK, BUT XIMENA GETS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND AS –
Persephone: Are you okay? :wtf:
(Sierra falls ontop of Gavin Kirkland, which seems to be like a dream come true, but it ends as quickly as it begins as Sierra shoves the commentator out of the way.)
Gavin Kirkland: Yes, I got bitches on top of me! I told you that the bitches can’t stay away from me! Merry Christmas to me! :blessed: :blessed: :blessed:
Stew-O: You seem to be in high spirits, Gavin, but Sierra walks into giant boot from Ximena Velasquez! Now, we are going to be seeing some of the strength that the Dynasty faithful have been talking about when it comes to this woman! She hoists Sierra up to her feet before throwing her to the barricade! The edge of the barricade hits Sierra in the face, but she is somehow able to catch herself as she turns herself around, but Ximena clotheslines Sierra over to the EAW Universe!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT, SIERRA LANDS ON HER FEET! THAT WAS FREAKING IMPRESSIVE! BEFORE XIMENA VELASQUEZ GOES OVER TO JOIN HER, SIERRA HOLDS DOWN ON THE EDGE OF THE BARRICADE BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A PELE KICK TO XIMENA, WHICH CAUSES HER TO STAGGER BACK! Sierra balances herself on top of the barricade! Ximena goes back to the attack, but Sierra jumps on her and looks to connect with a tornado DDT! Sierra uses the ringpost to help her spin around midway, but Ximena manages to stop her momentum before hoisting her up and connecting with a chokeslam on the apron! :damn: :damn: :damn:
Persephone: Now, this bitch is flexing like she’s hot shit! She is no Veena Adams! YOU WILL NEVER BE VEENA ADAMS, BITCH!
Stew-O: Ximena joins Sierra on the apron and it seems like she’s going to follow up that with something! She hoists Sierra up and takes her towards the turnbuckle at the apron! She hangs Sierra in a tree of woe position! She begins to take a couple of steps back on the apron! She has her eyes on her former partner as –
Gavin Kirkland: Ximena Velasquez charges towards Sierra with a dropkick to the face! Sierra falls out of the tree of woe position as Ximena begins to roll Sierra back inside the ring! Ximena steps back inside the ring as she delivers a sharp elbow drop to the chest of ‘The Killjoy’ before going for the cover! Is this going to be enough to put away Sierra?
OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Persephone: FUCK! SIERRA KICKED OUT!!!!!!
Stew-O: Ximena Velasquez looks to be quite annoyed! I think that she thought that she was going to put away Sierra a lot sooner than she anticipated, but Sierra not planning to lose this match! This woman gave Limmy Monaghan hell last weekend! She plans to do the same thing to Ximena!
Gavin Kirkland: Sierra is a fantastic competitor and when she taps into that one side of herself, she’s fucking dangerous. :lupe:
Persephone: She needs to channel that pint up frustration of having Ximena surpass her and Ms. Extreme taking her boyfriend and she might stand a chance at winning. :mjlol:
Stew-O: Ximena Velasquez grabs Sierra up by her hair before hoisting her up to her feet! Is she looking for the ‘XV’ – the one armed powerbomb? XIMENA HOISTS SIERRA UP, BUT SIERRA JUMPS TO THE OTHER SIDE, PREVENTING XIMENA FROM CONNECTING WITH HER FINISHER! SIERRA CONNECTS WITH KICK TO THE BACK OF XIMENA’S RIBS! THIS CAUSES FOR XIMENA TO CLUTCH HER RIBS, LEANING FORWARD, BUT SIERRA FOLLOWS THAT UP BY PULLING HER CLOSER AND NAILING HER WITH ‘CHECKMATE’ – THE MONKEY FLIP AS SHE APPLIES THE ARMBAR ON ‘LA DIOSA!’ IS THIS WHAT SIERRA IS GOING TO NEED TO DO THE END THIS MATCH? SIERRA IS DEMANDING FOR XIMENA TO TAP OUT! SHE’S DEMANDING FOR HER FORMER PARTNER TO THROW IN THE TOWEL AND CALL IT A DAY! SHE’S NOT AFRAID TO SNAP HER ARM, IF IT NEEDS TO GO TO THAT LENGTH!
Gavin Kirkland: The referee is asking Ximena if she wants to submit, but Ximena is shaking her head no! She refuses to quit! She refuses to give Sierra that satisfaction! Ximena is going to need to channel that strength of her’s!
Persephone: SHE COUNTERS THE ARMBAR TO A ROLL UP! IS SHE GOING TO ROB SIERRA OF THIS VICTORY!!!!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTT–
Stew-O: NO! Sierra is able to roll herself out of the roll up attempt! She maintains hold of the armbar! Ximena Velasquez seems like she’s having a battle with herself! She’s submitted once against Ms. Extreme at Territorial Invasion earlier this season! Is she going to submit again?
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t think so, Stew! It seems like Ximena Velasquez is hoisting Sierra up in the air before slamming her against the mat! But, Sierra is holding onto the armbar! This is causing for Ximena to lift Sierra off the mat again and slam her down! This time, it manages to get Sierra to release the armbar! Ximena is trying to shake some feeling back into her arm! Meanwhile, Sierra is clutching to her lower back as she tries to find her way back to her feet! SIERRA RUSHES TOWARDS XIMENA WITH A ROUNDHOUSE, BUT XIMENA DUCKS THE ROUNDHOUSE AS SIERRA STUMBLES FORWARD, BUT XIMENA MANAGES TO GET SIERRA IN POSITION AS SHE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX! SIERRA GETS THROWN TOWARDS THE CORNER!
Persephone: Sierra is trying to get herself up, but Ximena with a running uppercut, nailing Sierra in the chin! This causes for the former Unified Tag Team Champion to stumble forward and closer to Ximena, who picks her up and connects with a sidewalk slam! Now, it seems like Ximena has the end of this match on her mind! She gets Sierra by her ugly hair –
Stew-O: But, Sierra begins to kick the side of Ximena Velasquez’ legs! This time, she targets both of the legs, looking to take the bigger woman off her feet! She’s looking for Ximena to release her hair, BUT SIERRA INSTEAD DELIVERS A HEADBUTT, WHICH CAUSES FOR XIMENA TO TAKE A STEP BACK! XIMENA RUNS TOWARDS SIERRA, BUT SIERRA CONNECTS WITH THE ‘SEROTONIN’ – THE ROLLING ELBOW KNOCKS XIMENA DOWN! SIERRA GETS XIMENA IN POSITION FOR ‘PRIMA DONNA’ – SLICED BREAD #2! SIERRA GOES TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE TO HELP HER CONNECT WITH THE MOVE, BUT XIMENA SHOVES SIERRA OFF OF HER! Sierra manages to catch herself on the top turnbuckle! Her back is turned away from Ximena, but Ximena is trying to join Sierra on that top rope! It seems like she’s trying to wrap her arms around the waist of ‘The Killjoy!’
Gavin Kirkland: Is she going for a German suplex? Sierra is going to make sure that this doesn’t happen! She connects with a back elbow to the face of Ximena Velasquez! However, this doesn’t knock Ximena off that top rope! Sierra throws another elbow to the face of Ximena! This causes for Ximena to stumble off the rope! Sierra turns herself around as she is faced with Ximena Velasquez! Sierra from the top rope!
Persephone: SIERRA CONNECTS WITH A SOMERSAULT SENTON TOWARDS XIMENA VELASQUEZ! SHE HAS XIMENA THERE FOR THE COVER! LETS GO AND END THIS SHIT!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOO!!!!!!
Stew-O: Ximena Velasquez with the kick out! But, Sierra is trying not to let her frustration show! SHE GETS HERSELF TO HER FEET AND IT SEEMS LIKE SHE’S GOING FOR THE KOJI CLUTCH! SIERRA CALLS THIS MOVE THE ‘MARIPOSA DEATH,’ BUT XIMENA GETS A FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE QUICKLY! I THINK THAT XIMENA KNEW WHAT IT WOULD MEAN IF SIERRA WERE TO HAVE CONNECTED WITH THE MOVE!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! LET GO, SIERRA!
Gavin Kirkland: Props to Ximena for being aware of where the rope was, but that was probably something that Sierra didn’t anticipate! This is only going to fire up Sierra to dig deeper within herself! Sierra proceeds to stomp the living hell out of Ximena, stepping on her face in the process! Now, it seems like Sierra is getting Ximena up to her feet, but it seems like Sierra is going for the top rope again! What in the world is Sierra planning to do now?
Stew-O: I THINK THAT SIERRA IS GOING FOR A PANAMA SUNRISE! SHE’S WAITING FOR XIMENA VELASQUEZ TO BE IN A PERFECT POSITION BEFORE JUMPING OFF THE TOP ROPE!
Persephone: XIMENA VELASQUEZ POPS OUT OF NOWHERE! ‘XV!’ THIS BITCH CONNECTED WITH A ONE HANDED POWERBOMB OUT OF NOWHERE! SHE GOES FOR THE PIN ON SIERRA!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Recreant” by Chelsea Grin plays through the speakers of the Qudos Bank Arena as Ximena Velasquez rolls off of Sierra. She gets her arm raised by the referee as she soaks in the victory.)
Bella Braxton: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…XIMENA VELASQUEZ!!!!!!
Stew-O: What a battle between those two! I couldn’t deicide on who was going to stand tall at the end of this match! It could have been either of them! This is the type of wrestling that you’d find on the Dynasty brand every Friday night and I am optimistic that both of these women will find success in the New Year.
Gavin Kirkland: I really enjoyed the match! It was back-and-forth, competitive! It showed Sierra’s will to not give up, but displayed Ximena as a force to be reckon with in the women’s division.
Persephone: Well, Sierra ends the year with another loss in her pocket, but I think that Ximena gets that pink haired freak out of her life? At least, we think so.
(Sierra is sitting on the bottom of the ramp in disappointment before slowly turning back at her former partner, who is celebrating inside the ring. Ximena Velasquez is soaking in the victory, knowing that she is going to be making 2022 her year.)
(An Aussie Summer Christmas Spectacular fades back in to show Sabina with a new set of cards in her hand as she would look at them before looking back up to the camera as he would begin to speak)
Sabina: Welcome back! Our next award is to show Next Up in 2022 here in EAW! The future of the entirety in this company, someone that we all see as the next to grab the torch of this promotion and carry it as the next great Elitist who will exemplify who and what the future will truly bring. There were some great names here and it came down to a nail biter So here are the nominees!
(From there it goes to the highlight reel showing the nominees for Next Up in 2022 and the highlights from their tenure so far in EAW:
-Limmy Monaghan
-Adam Lucas
-Dr. Bethany Blue
-Miku Sakai
-Ryan Wilson
-Donovan Duke
-Harper Lee)
(Sabina then opens the envelope and takes out the card, smirking….)
Sabina: And the WINNER of the Up Next In 2022 Award is….. DR. BETHANY BLUE!!!!
(The crowd erupts in cheers, some boo as “Somebody Get Me A Doctor” by Van Halen starts to play. Dr. Bethany Blue comes out in her street clothes, looking around at the ovation. She chuckles some and starts to make her toward the podium, she shakes the hand of Sabina after handing her the award, looking out at the sold-out arena…)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Wow… I didn’t expect this to be honest and I haven’t really been in the best of moods since Road to Redemption but that is for another time to talk about. I think about this award and look back at my tenure of two and a half years. It’s been a long time, and to be fair there really aren’t that many people who believed I would still be here today, they called me a gimmick and said I would fade away. Yet those same individuals are long gone. I think everyone here has heard how vocal I have been about my successes and then the lack thereof. Being a former Interwire and Specialists Champion does give me some clout, yes. But let’s face it, the end of 2020 and almost all of 2021 was a mixed bag for your Good Doctor and I didn’t end it on a positive note like I should have, and everyone knows it especially me, so I don’t know what the future holds, where I stand but what I do know is this….
(She pauses for a moment, the crowd cheers as her demeanor changes and she points right at the camera all animated….)
Dr. Bethany Blue: My patience is wearing THIN! This award signifies ONE thing that I already knew that I will NOT accept anything less in 2022 than a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! My time on Showdown is the past. My last few seasons are history, everyone here saw what I am capable of doing after the Territorial Invasion when I was traded to Dynasty and one little hiccup isn’t going to stop me no matter what the consequence or how major it was. First thing I would like to do is thank the smart fans and peers who voted for Dr. Bethany Blue, who felt like 2022 will be MY year and were attentive enough to see what I have done. If I have to win the Empress of Elite Tournament or the Iconic Cup or just beat the asses of every single Main Event talent Elitists on the Red, Blue or Yellow Brand throughout the course of 2022, then you can bet your ass that I will!
(The crowd cheers at the fired-up Doctor. Taking a deep breath, glaring right at the camera…)
Dr. Bethany Blue: This past year has seen some very big highlights in my career, like defeating Cage in a Deathmatch to winning the Specialists Championship in Egypt, to competing at Pain For Pride, defending the championship, but I also had some pretty forgettable moments, and when I look back they outweigh the memorable ones and I have a seriously problem with this. But when I look at the trophy that is in my hand, I can’t help but smile, because at the end of the day, there isn’t a single person in the EAW, out in those stands or in my life that doesn’t think I can’t do what I claim and I don’t care if it is next week, month or 6 months from now, I will accomplish those goals one week at a time until I stand as a World Champion. What happened last week may have delayed it for a little bit, but I have waited long enough to get that chance and all I need is ONE. 2022 is going to be a huge year for the EAW and it will be headlined by none other than Dr. Bethany Blue and I promise, that unlike your last recipient of this same award, I will not wither and disappear because next Christmas I will be standing here receiving an award for being the absolute best in this business.
(Looking around, she has a sly smirk on her face before continuing to speak.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: I would like to thank Adam Lucas, my boyfriend who has stuck with me through thick and thin and has to deal with my moods outside the ring. To my assistant Regyna for always being there for me when I can’t take care of things myself on the road. Thank you for those who have given me great matches and moving forward not only do I promise but I guarantee that 2022 WILL BE THE YEAR OF DR. BETHANY BLUE……
Crowd: THE M. D.!!!!
(She smirks….)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Now you’re getting it. And come 2022 for ANYONE that steps in the ring with me? Just remember one thing. The Doctor Will See You Now!”
(Holding up the award, she gets a great ovation from the crowd as “Somebody Get Me A Doctor” by Van Halen starts to play throughout the arena. She shakes the hand of Sabina again before stepping away from the podium, raising up the award again to the fans, the camera then fades to a commercial for King of Elite and Empress of Elite Coming in 2022.)
(As Sabina makes her way out, the crowd can be heard getting loud with cheers as she can be seen carrying a closed envelope in one hand and a trophy in the other. Another award is about to be handed out and from the look on her face, Sabina couldn’t be any more excited to be handing this one out! Approaching the podium, she sets the trophy down in front of her while holding the envelope propped up in front of her.)
Sabina: Where women’s wrestling in EAW has come to today, I don’t think there’s any way that anyone could honestly say that they anticipated some of the things that EAW’s long line of women’s competitors have accomplished – not even just five or six years ago. We’ve seen a number of women hold World Championships whose histories are largely dominated by their male contemporaries, Championships like the Interwire and National Elite Titles that have been held by numerous women, and we’ve seen how plenty of women have proven time and time again just what kind of integral parts they can play when it comes to the Unified Tag Team Championships.
Sabina: It’s been an evolution that I couldn’t be prouder to see take place over the years, because I know that at one point, so much of this would’ve been thought to be unthinkable or impossible – but so much of what EAW’s women have accomplished speaks to the power of undeniable persistence. It makes me even prouder to see that while so much of that is being accomplished, the women’s division continues to be a point of thriving talent and competition that makes it one of the toughest divisions going! The progression of EAW’s women’s Championships into what we know today as the Universal Women’s Championship is a testament to how women can go to war in their battles over a Championship that’s exclusive to only them and still be a focal point in EAW’s constantly busy world – and the two women nominated for Universal Women’s Champion of the Year know exactly what I mean, as they consistently captured headlines and captivated audiences over the year!
(A video package of nominees Darcy May Morgan and Ms. Extreme begins to play, highlighting various moments and wins throughout each of their reigns. Once the video ends and is replaced by the graphic featuring Darcy and Ms. Extreme for the category, the camera remains on Sabina as she begins to open up the envelope.)
Sabina: And the winner of Universal Women’s Champion of the Year is….
(Sabina reads the name to herself silently and nods before looking up to the crowd, building anticipation…)
Sabina: MS. EXTREME!!!
(‘Zombie’ by Bad Wolves begins to play and Ms. Extreme makes her way out with the Universal Women’s Championship held over her shoulder, and a smug grin on her face. Sabina hands her the trophy as she congratulates her on the win, Ms. Extreme thanking her as she accepts the award. Sabina steps back and motions for the Champion to take her spot at the podium, because of course, Ms. Extreme is going to have plenty to say as the type to not hold back. Setting the trophy back down on the podium, Ms. Extreme takes a moment to take in the atmosphere of cheers and applause.)
Ms. Extreme: Gosh, you know, I just… I’m so humbled and I’m so thankful for this award. This is just so unexpected, and I… excuse me, I need a moment.
(She tilts her head down to keep her face out of view, sniffling as she seems to be dabbing away tears from her eyes with her fingertips. But just shortly after this display of emotion began, Ms. Extreme’s sniffling begins to turn into laughter until she’s raised back up with a grin on her face, shaking her head with a sigh.)
Ms. Extreme: Come the fuck on! Did anyone even really expect anything else?! I’d say I don’t know why they even bothered throwing Darcy’s face up there next to mine, but I guess it needed to be seen as if I’ve actually got any kind of competition. I mean, all I’ve done since becoming the Universal Women’s Champion is dominate match after match, competitor after competitor, because I’m just that damn good! It never should’ve been a question if I was going to be the one who’d receive this award because from the way things were going post-Pain for Pride, I had this award locked. There’s been no stopping me, no one to stand against everything that I was going to bring to the table and take me down. I was always going to beat the hell out of Hikari, Ximena couldn’t stop me on the first try, Holly was never going to beat me for the Universal Women’s Title, and there wasn’t anyone in the Chamber that was going to rip it away from me either no matter how much any of them thinks they stood a chance! I begged for them all to step their game up, to at least try to put up a fight so that I didn’t just breeze through every defense or opponent – but the ending was always going to be the same.
Ms. Extreme: Sabina came out here talking about how some of the heights that women have reached were unthinkable at one point, but for me, “unthinkable” was never in my thought process when it came to what I was going to accomplish once I had the greenlight. I’m the longest-reigning PURE Champion, I’ve been Interwire Champion, I’m a War Games winner, I’m set to become the longest-reigning Universal Women’s Champion in just a matter of days – and all of that’s been accomplished after doctors and physicians weren’t even wanting to let me get back into the ring. I’ve accomplished more than they would’ve thought, and because of what I was willing to do and how far I’ve been willing to go, it’s thanks to me that I’ve done more for this Universal Women’s Title than anyone before me!
(Ms. Extreme nods her head, smirking as she pats the front of the Championship that still rests on her shoulder.)
Ms. Extreme: There’s been nothing that’s come across my mind as being able to end my reign, and at the rate I’m going, I’m not seeing anyone that could dethrone the Red Queen! I’m sure there’s plenty of women in the back who think they could have that kind of fight in them, wanting to step up just to find out that they were just going to end up being the next sorry bitch that I knocked back – and I’m ready to keep doing all of that because that’s what I’ve been going on doing! I’ve been the woman to beat and they just can’t get it done for all the shit they talk, and their disappointed faces in the end of it all make it that much more worth it because they have to walk away knowing what me and every last one of you have known all along: I’m that bitch-
(‘Roll With Me’ by Charli XCX interrupts Ms. Extreme and she pauses in surprised confusion as the crowd goes into cheers as Andrea Valentine makes her way out from the back! With a microphone in hand, Andrea casually makes her way over to beside the podium, and Ms. Extreme slowly turns to look at Andrea.)
Ms. Extreme: Well, look at you! Now, see, the last time you and me were anywhere being seen this close together, you had a cage falling down on you in the No Way Out Match that I won just earlier this year! What the hell could you possibly want by coming out here to interrupt me right now? Because when I was looking for you and Bethany to be in my Extreme Elimination Chamber Match, you two were nowhere to be found – not that anyone getting added to it would’ve changed the outcome anyway, but I thought at least Dynasty would be sending women better than Ximena or Serenity!
(Ms. Extreme’s smug smirk doesn’t falter and Andrea can only sigh, shaking her head.)
Andrea Valentine: I thought I’d be in an Extreme Elimination Chamber Match, too, but what’s done is done. No one can go back and change StarrStan’s decision on that, but really, part of that is why I’m out here now. See, for whatever unknown reason, I wasn’t in an Extreme Elimination Chamber Match despite what I’d done this season to warrant having a spot and it seemed pretty ridiculous to me that I couldn’t get an answer about it from StarrStan – but now I’m coming right to the source of what I’m out to do. You know and I know that me and Bethany should’ve been inside the Chamber Match for the Universal Women’s Championship if we weren’t going to be able to compete for the World Heavyweight Title – and with Road to Redemption coming to pass, I’m set on going into the next year making sure that I make 2022 my year.
Andrea Valentine: 2021 wasn’t really for me – whether that was being injured for months or being the cause of drama between Raven and Consuela, and even you at one point in it when that was going down – but no matter what I was doing or what I was trying even after Season 14, it seemed like it just wasn’t working out. While anything would be better in comparison, Season 15 seemed to be going decently up until how it seemed like in the last month or two, what I’ve aimed to do has gone overlooked or unrecognized; I wasn’t even nominated for any award for what could be applied to Season 15. I’m moving myself to the front though and putting it out there now that I’m taking this chance to make good on my intentions to achieve something I haven’t won before: winning the Universal Women’s Championship.
(Ms. Extreme scoffs in disbelief as she looks at Andrea as if to question her seriousness before looking out at the audience, who are all buzzing at the potential match-up.)
Ms. Extreme: You really think you’d beat me?
Andrea Valentine: Don’t get me wrong, you’ve had an extremely good year and you’ve accomplished a lot after winning that No Way Out Match last season. You main evented Pain for Pride and won, and now six months later, you’re about to become the longest-reigning Universal Women’s Champion of all time – there’s a reason for that. That’s why I know it’d be tough to accomplish – beating you and becoming the Universal Women’s Champion for the first time – but I’m sure I could do it.
Ms. Extreme: Believe me when I say you’re going to have to be more than just “sure” to beat me, Andrea, but then again, everyone else I’ve faced thought the same thing you’re trying to declare now and I don’t see what would make you any different from them in the end. You’ve won some matches here and there throughout Season 15 so far, sure, but I’m not recalling anything that makes me think that you’d be the woman who does what so many others couldn’t do, what those same women know now that they aren’t going to be able to do. I’ve got no problem saying that you’d be better than some of them – you and Bethany would’ve been better competition – but I’ve also got no problem saying that I’d prove to be better than you. See, I didn’t get dragged down into the mess that you caused with Raven and Consuela, and I think you know how lucky you were to not have to face me at Pain for Pride in that match of yours because I can’t say that you would’ve liked what I would’ve done to you if that No Way Out Match was any indication.
(Ms. Extreme stares her down, even coming away from the podium to stand in front of Andrea and the two of them don’t break eye contact as Ms. Extreme continues.)
Ms. Extreme: Really, I don’t know what to make of you coming out here on my time to interrupt me to try to have your moment: is this just you getting fed up with Dynasty’s bullshit again or are you planning for something else? Because while I don’t blame you for being irritated with StarrStan, having that be what pushes you into challenging me because you’re mad you didn’t get an opportunity you thought you deserved isn’t going to do you any favors, Andrea. Don’t get it twisted, I love to fight, I love competition that would give me a challenge just so I could beat them – but directing that frustration at someone else would’ve done you a whole lot better, because I’m not the one that you want to go trying to make an example out of. You tried that once before when you had let so much get to you but it didn’t go so well, now did it?
Andrea Valentine: Look, I’m not going to say any bullshit like I didn’t mean to do it or anything to downplay what happened, because I did what I did knowing exactly what would come from a situation like that. No one was actually happy or doing anything they would’ve actually wanted to do with the rest of their season, Consuela and Raven were beyond upset and beyond disappointed – it was undeniably fucked up from the start. But this isn’t about making an example out of you, Camille, it’s about me still having goals to achieve and winning the Universal Women’s Championship is one of them. If I was just looking for some buzz or attention or just a moment, I wouldn’t be out here doing this, but here I am knowing what I’d be getting into – that’s how serious I am about that Championship.
(Andrea doesn’t budge as she points to the Universal Women’s Championship that’s just in front of her, and Ms. Extreme looks down at it before looking back to Andrea.)
Ms. Extreme: If you’re that serious about the Universal Women’s Championship, then you know how serious it’d be for me to keep it against anyone and everyone. Coming after me for my Championship wouldn’t be some sentimental reunion moment of the last Beating Hearts standing – it’d be me doing everything in my power to keep you from taking what’s mine, from taking my spotlight now that I’ve finally got it, just like you’re trying to do now by coming out here on my time. Maybe I could commend the fact that you were bold enough to even interrupt me, but ultimately? I don’t think you’d know what you’d really be in for even if you are thinking a whole lot clearer than the last time you were in front of me, and I can’t say you’d be ready to face that disappointment after what you’ve had to deal with this season already. A loss to Xander Payne when everyone was waiting for him to finally lose, losing to Holly who I beat, StarrStan practically dodging you and Bethany about the Chamber bullshit. But I think about all of that and that’s why I’ll do you this one favor, Andrea, and tell you that I’m not who you want to be standing across from in the ring with this Universal Women’s Championship on the line – not now, not next week or the week after that, not the next FPV – because I can’t promise you that you’d like the outcome. Remember to keep that in mind before you think to go interrupting me again.
(As ‘Zombie’ by Bad Wolves begins to play, Ms. Extreme sets the microphone down on the podium and grabs the Universal Women’s Champion of the Year trophy before starting to walk away, passing Andrea with the two of them merely looking at each other for a moment until the Universal Women’s Champion continues to the back without looking behind her. Andrea is left on the stage looking conflicted, unsure in the moment of what to think of Ms. Extreme dismissing her intentions with bold statements of her own, and the scene fades out.)
(The camera pans to Gina Romano in the ring ready to announce the next match….)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Gina Romano: AND AS PER THE REQUEST OF HURRICANE HAWK EARLIER IN THE NIGHT IT WILL NOW BE CONTESTED UNDER HARDCORE RULES!!!
(The crowd breaks out in cheers as ‘Mo Money’ by Ben McLusky starts to play throughout the arena, the Sydney crowd erupts in boos.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, MAKING HIS WNTER RESIDENCE IN PALM SPRINGS, FLORIDA! WEIGHING IN AT 285 POUNDS! ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY THE DOGS OF WAR! HE IS “THE INTERNATIONAL TREASURE”…. RONAN MALOSI!!!!!!!
(The crowd continues to boo as a very unhappy Ronan Malosi walks out, surrounded by his Dogs of War, Ashton Hale, and Westin Scott. He stands at the entranceway for a moment before making his way to the ring.)
Deadprez: This is one unhappy man right now after what we heard in the altercation between he and Ronan Malosi when he tried to get out of the match against Hall of Famer and legendary Cage which we will all see make his return tonight.
Eve: Ronan’s mouth has gotten him in a lot of trouble lately and he wonders why there is this “conspiracy theory” against him or so he claims when this is all self-inflicted and had he just gone along with the match maybe he wouldn’t find himself in this type of predicament.
Gavin Kirkland: Because he doesn’t feel like wrestling Cage is fair to him!? I don’t blame Ronan at all! He shouldn’t have to go through with this match so close to Christmas and…. AND the fact is he has to face a guy that strives in this type of environment!? Not fair to Ronan!
(Ronan gets to the ring and huffs and puffs, pacing around as he takes the mic from Bella Braxton.)
Ronan Malosi: THIS IS BULLSHI*T!
Deadprez: We apologize Ladies and Gentlemen; it is obvious that Ronan Malosi is a little angry.
(Ronan paces some….)
Ronan Malosi: WHY DON’T WE MAKE IT DAMN OBVIOUS HAWK THAT YOU HAVE IT OUT FOR ME RIGHT NOW!? I DID NOTHING BUT VOICE MY CONCERNS SINCE THE SEASON STARTED AND YOU HAVE MADE IT YOUR MISSION TO BURY ME! NOW THIS IS AHARDCORE MATCH!? REALLY!? EVERYONE KNOWS INCLUDING THESE STUPID AUSTRALIANS THAT THIS IS NOT FAIR TO ME! I NEVER SIGNED UP FOR THIS BUT YOU KNOW WHAT!? AFTER I BEAT THIS HAS-BEEN HERE TONIGHT THERE IS NOTHING THAT ANYONE CAN SAY ABOUT IT AND THEN HAWK!? YOU WILL GIVE ME WHAT I WANT! THE MAN TO FINALLY PUT AN END TO THE REIGN OF TERROR FROM KASSIDY HEART!
(The crowd showers him with boos as Kassidy is from Australia….)
Ronan Malosi: OH, SHUT THE FU…..
(But before he could finish Ronan is interrupted by “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana blasting throughout the arena. Ronan quickly drops the mic and waits ready to fight him when the lights starts to shine on the second level of the arena and Cage comes out through the crowd walking down the stairs…)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT! RESIDING IN EDMONTON, ALBERTA! WEIGHING IN AT 230 POUNDS! HE IS THE “EXPLICIT CONTENT” CAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The fans are on their feet as Cage makes his way toward the ring, keeping his eyes right on Ronan Malosi who has the Dogs of War flanking him, Cage is now on the floor sifting through the crowd, not stopping for one second as he is ready for a fight heading to the barricade….)
Deadprez: CAGE IS HERE AND HE’S IN THE BEST SHAPE OF HIS LIFE! HE HAS BEEN GONE SINCE GRAND RAMPAGE AND NOW THE HALL OF FAMER LOOKS READY TO UNLEASH HELL ON RONAN MALOSI AND CAGE IS ALMOST TO THE BARRICADE!
Eve: LISTEN TO THE FANS! THEY ARE GOING WILD AS CAGE HOPS THE BARRICADE AND HE SLIDES INTO THE RING AND HERE WE GO!
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Gavin Kirkland: GET THIS MAN OFF RONAN MALOSI! GET HIM OFF NOW! RONAN WAS JUST TAKEN DOWN WITH A LOU THEZS PRESS AND CAGE IS RAINING DOWN FISTS ON HIM! COME ON THIS HAS TO STOP AND NOW! RONAN WASN;T READY! HE WASN’T PREPARED TO WRESTLE IN THIS TYPE OF MATCH AND…. HERE COMES HALE AND SCOTT! THEY PULL CAGE OFF RONAN! CAGE WITH A STIFF RIGHT ON SCOTT! NOW ON HALE! CAGE IS TAKING ON BOTH MEN AS HE CLOTHESLINE THEM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR!
Deadprez: CAGE IS A HOUSE OF FIRE AND THERE ISN’T A DAMN PERSON THAT IS GONNA STOP HIM RIGHT NOW! CAGE NOW TURNS AND MALOSI IS BACK UP, HE TRIES A ERUNNING BOOT, CAGE DUCKS, RONAN TURNS INTO KICK TO THE GUT AND SWINGING NECKBREAKER! RONAN ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AND THERE ARE THE DOGS OF WAR TRYING TO HELP THEIR BOSS UP BUT HERE COMES CAGE AND HE CLIMBS THE TOP ROPE…. FLYING BODYPRESS ON ALL THREE MEN AND CAGE TAKES DOWN RONAN AND HIS CRONIES!
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!
(Cage stands up and yells as the crowd cheers. Taking his sweet time stalking a fallen Ronan Malosi, Cage is enjoying every bit of this. He grabs Ronan amidst the rubble and drags him into he guardrail, smashing him over and over again on the steel until he stumbles back. Cage then leads him up the ramp where there are some Christmas Trees, gift boxes and toys…..)
Eve: CAGE IRISH WHIPS RONAN INTO THE CHRISTMAS TREES! RONAN JUST TOOK A NASTY SPILL AND WITH IT WENT THE TREES! HE IS BURIED UNDER LIGHTS AND PINE! HERE COMES CAGE THOUGH, GRABBING ONE OF THE LARGE PRESENTS, SLAMMING IT ON RONAN! RIGHT NOW RONAN, DOESN’T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING! HE WAS AMBUSHED RIGHT FROM THE START OF THE MATCH AND CAGE HAS HAD CONTROL EVER SINCE! CAGE IS LIKE A WILD ANIMAL RIGHT NOW!
Deadprez: HE REALLY IS AND NOT HE GRABS SOME OF THE TOYS, HE HAS A ROCKING HORSE AND SLAMS IT ON RONAN! MAN, THAT WAS WRONG DAWG! CAGE IS DRAGGING RONAN OUT OF THE CHRISTMAS TREE AND HE IS PUMMELING HIM WITH EVERYTHING THAT HE HAS RIGHT NOW, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING! CAGE IS ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL, GRABBING RONAN AND NOW HE POINTS AT THE TRON! CAGE WHIPPING…. NO! RONAN REVERSES AND CAGE HITS HARD CHEST FIRST! HE FALSL BACK RIGHT INTO RONAN…. VERTIGO ON THE STEEL RAMPWAY! RONAN MALOSI JUST CAUGHT CAGE WITH THE VERTIGO ON THE RAMPWAY AND HE MIGHT HAVE BROKEN SOME RIBS! CAGE IS GASPING FOR BREATH AND NOW MALOSI TAKES SOME OF THOS PRESENTS, HE SLAMS THEM ON TOP OF CAGE! WAIT… WHAT IS RONAN DOING!?
(Ronan grabs that same wooden rocking horse and he slams it into the steel entranceway! He starts to stomp it over and over breaking a piece of sharp wood from it. He then turns with evil intentions. He stares at the piece of sharp wood for a second almost in a very sadistic way, thinking of so many ways he can hurt Cage….)
Eve: RONAN JAMMING THAT SHARP PIECE OF WOOD FROM THE HORSE ROCKER IN THE HEAD OF CAGE! HE IS GRINDING ALL OF THAT AND TRYING TO WEDGE IT INTO HIS SKULL! HE DRAWS BLOOD AND CAGE IS BLEEDING! THE BLOOD IS POURING FROM HIS HEAD AS RONAN NOW USES THE WOOD AS A BLUDGEONIGN OBJECT BEATING CAGE OVER THE HEAD WITH IT REPEATEDLY! RONAN HAS COME UNGLUED! HAVE WE EVER SEEN HIM THIS VICIOUS!?
Gavin Kirkland: NO AND HE HAS A RIGHT TOO! CAGE IS BLEEDING ALL OVER NOW AND AFTER WHAT HURRICANE HAWK DID MAKING THIS MATCH A HARDCORE RULES IT SERVES HIM RIGHT! RONAN PICKS UP CAGE AND THROWS HIM DOWN THE RAMPWAY! CAGE WAS THROWN VIOLENTLY DOWN THE STEEL. RONAN IS KICKING HIM REPEATEDLY!
(Ronan instructs the Dogs of War to grab him something, anything from the ring. They start to scour the ringside, Westin Scott pulls out a garbage can. Ronan smirks and he hands it to him while Ashton Hale takes out a Cricket Stick, holding it up as Ronan’s eyes widen…)
Ronan Malosi: (Off Mic) COME ON BOYS! LET’S THROW THIS PIECE OF SHIT IN THE TRASH!
(Westin and Ashton pick up Cage and hold him as Ronan places the trash can over cage, they hold him in place as Ronan then winds up with the Cricket stick…)
Eve: WAIT A SECOND RONAN! DON’T DO IT!
WHACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: RONAN MALOSI IS TEEING OFF ON CAGE WITHG THE CRICKET STICK! OVER AND OVER AS CAGE IS STUMBLING AROUND GETTING HIT AS THE CAN IS DENTING RIGHT INTO HIS OWN SKIN! CAGE FINALLY FALLS DOWN AND THE REFEREE CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT THE DOGS OF WAR! IT IS A THREE ON ONE MUGGING! ALL OF THEM ARE KICKING CAGE NOW WHILE HE IS DOWN!
Deadprez: SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING HERE! Ronan has taken the garbage can off him and now has Cage up, he rolls him into the ring and Ronan looks to make a cover and this one could be over!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THR…..
Deadprez: CAGE WITH A SHOULDER UP AND RONAN LOOKS SHOCKED! HE THOUGHT AFTER THE BEATING HE AND HIS HENCHMEN GAVE CAGE THAT IT WAS ENOUGH! Ronan picks up Cage, whipping him into he ropes, he goes for a big boot, Cage ducks, Ronan turns right into THE DIAMOND SAINT SPECIAL! RONAN WAS STUNNED AND THEN CAGE JUST TOOK HIS HEAD OFF WITH THAT LAIRAT! RONAN IS DOWN AND CAGE JUMPS ON HIM REFUSING TO PIN HIM! HE STARTS DROPPING RIGHT FISTS INTO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD! RONAN CAN’T COVER UP AND HERE COMES WESTIN SCOTT… NO! CAGE TURNSA AND CLOTHESLINES HIM! ASHTON HALE NOW IN THE RING AND CAGE WITH A KICK TO THE GUT AND AN OLD SCHOOL EXPULSION!

BOUNCING OFF HE STUMBLES INTO A TAKEDOWN AND CAGE REACHES OUT TO THE CRICKET STICK LEFT ON THE APRON!

OH, COME ON DAMN IT!
(Westin Scott and Ashton Hale jump In the ring and break up the hold, Cage lets go and they start kicking him down again, this time picking him up and signaling to one another before Scott whips him into the ring and they both deliver….)
Eve: NO! CAGE REVERSES THE HOLD AND HE CRASHES BOTH DOGS TOGETHER! CAGE CLOTHESLINES BOTH OF THEM OVER THE TOP ROPE AGAIN! CAGE NOW SEES RONAN; HE HOPS ON THE APRON TO THE OUTSIDE! HE IS WAIT….
Gavin Kirkland: THE DOGS OF WAR ARE BACK ON THE APRON! THEY HAVE CAGE AND WESTIN CLIPS HIM! CAGE STAGGERS AND WAIT… WHAT IS THIS!?!?!
Deadprez: NO MAN’S LAND! THE DOGS OF WAR JUST HIT CAGE WITH A SUPER FACE BUSTER THAT HAS BEEN CALLED THE SHATTER MACHINE IN THE PAST ON THE APRON! CAGE IS OUT AND IT LOOKS LIKE RONAN MALOSI IS GOING TO STEAL THIS ONE! THE REFEREE IS TRYING TO GET THE DOGS OUT OF THE RING BUT TO NO AVAIL!

Crowd: CAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: Ronan is arguing with the referee! Slapping his hands down faster, he thinks the count was slow! Ronan is incensed right now and all he wants is get out of here with a win! Ronan now grabs Cage, picking him up on his shoulders.. CAGE WITH STIFF ELBOWS! RONAN DROPS HIM AND CAGE WITH A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX ON RONAN!

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE……
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT KIND OF SLOW COUNT WAS THAT!? RONAN IS AGAIN IN SHOCK AND CAN’T BELIEVE IT!
(Ronan holds up three fingers but the referee holds up two. Ronan slams the mat and screams in anger before rolling out of the ring, he looks around and then searches under the ring and sees a toolbox, the crowd ooh’s as he slides it into the ring, he opens it up and sees a staple gun, smiling he then grabs it and waits as cage is slowly getting back to his feet, Ronan smiles as Cage is wobbly back up….)
Deadprez: RONAN MALOSI WITH THE STAPLE GUN AND CAGE TURNS AROUND…. RONAN STAPLES CAGE ON THE HEAD! MORE BLOOD STARTS POURING OUT AND….. WAIT…. LOOK AT CAGE! HE IS LAUGHING IN RONAN’S FACE! RONAN IS SHOCKED! HE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO THINK AND HE KICKS CAGE IN THE GUT! HE PICKS HIM UP RIGHT INTO AS POWERBOMB BUT CAGE STOPS HIM AND HEADBUTTS RONAN! HE FALLS BACK AND CAGE HITS A SUPERKICK! RONAN ROPS THE STAPLE GUN AND NOW CAGE HAS IT! RONAN IS BACK UP AND….. CAGE STAPLES RONAN’S CHEST AND HE IS SCREAMING!
(Ronan starts screaming bloody murder as Cage staples him again and again! Then bashing him in the head with the staple gun, repeatedly until Ronan starts to bleed even more, his face becomes a crimson mask instantly and then….
Eve: MURDER.DEATH.KILL! HE JUST HIT RONAN MALOSI WITH HIS PATENTED FINISHER AND THIS MATCH IS OVER! LISTEN TO THE CROWD CHEER AND COUNT ALONG!

Gavin Kirkland: YES! THE DOGS OF WAR PULL RONAN MALOSI OUT OF THE RING AND THE PIN! LOOK AT CAGE! HE IS ABSOLUTELY FLOORED RIGHT NOW! HE CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT HE JUST SAW AND THE DOGS OF WAR ARE HELPING RONAN BACK UP! CAGE DIDN’T GETR THE JOB DONE AND SERVES HIM RIGHT! YES, THEY ARE LEAVING, TAKE RONAN AND GET SOME MEDICAL ATTENTION!
Eve: ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW!? THEY ARE ACTUALLY TAKING RONAN TO THE BACK!? HE IS JUST GOING TO WALK OUT OF THIS MATCH AND BE THE END OF IT!? THE MAN IS SPINLESS AND THE WHOLE MATCH HE HAS HAD HELP FROM HIS DOGS OF WAR!
Gavin Kirkland: IS HE BREAKING ANY RULES!?
Eve: THAT IS NOT THE POINT, GAVIN!
(As the Dogs of War help Ronan to the back Cage grabs the Staple Gun and he chases after them….)
Deadprez: WESTING SCOTT TURNS RIGHT INTO A STAPLE TO HIS FOREHEAD! ANOTHER ON HIS SHOULDER! HALE TURNS AND CAGE STAPLES HIM IN THE FACE AS WELL AND HE DROPS RONAN! CAGE HEARS THE CROWD CHEER AND HE POINTS RIGHT AT RONAN AND STAPLES HIS ASS! DAMN HE STAPLED HIM IN THE BUTT CHEEKS!
(Ronan jumps around in pain as Cage is ready to do it again and….)
Deadprez: RONAN MALOSI WITH A PUNT KICK TO THE GROIN OF CAGE AS HE BUCKLES OVER AND RONA WITH A SNAP DDT ON THE STEEL! HE TURNED THAT SITUATION AROUND QUICKLY AND NOW RONAN IS IN CHARGE AND HE GRABS THE STAPLE GUN, STAPLING CAGE ON HIS BARE BACK! OH, THAT MUCH HURT! HE DOES IT AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! RONAN MALOSI IS VICIOUS RIGHT NOW! NOW HE IS BEATING CAGE WITH THE STAPLE GUN!
(Ronan launches the staple gun across the ramp as it breaks apart. He then picks up Cage and throws him into the steel steps! He steps back a few and rams Cage with a knee crushing his head against the steel.)
Eve: Ronan Malosi just took out Cage and he is picking him up and rolling him into the ring! Ronan Malosi follows, and he has the cricket stick, slamming it against the mat over and over! He is ready to bash the brains in of Cage! And Ronan is swinging…..
CRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: RONAN MALOSI JUST HIT THAT CRICKET STICK ON THE SIDE OF THE FACE OF CAGE AND HE IS DOWN! LOOK AT RONAN SO HAPPY WITH HIMSELF! HE NOW HAS CAGE WHERE HE WANTS HIM AND THIS ONE IS ALL OVER! RONAN PICKS UP CAGE AND THE PAYOFF! THE COBRA CLUTCH SLAM AND THIS ONE IS OVER!

RONAN IS NOT GOING FOR THE COVER; HE IS SCREAMING TO THE DOGS OF WAR!
(The Dogs of War are recovering; they hear Ronan, and both acknowledge him as they get back in the ring. Ronan is barking orders….)
Ronan Malosi: (Off Mic) LET’S FINISH THIS HAS-BEEN SON OF A BITCH!
Eve: RONAN IS CLIMBING THE TOP ROPE; HE IS PERCHED ON THE SECOND ROPE AS THE TRIPLE TEAMING CONTINUES! THE DOGS OF WAR LIFT UP CAGE AS RONAN IS PERCHED ON THE TOP ROPE. WHAT IS HE PLANNING ON DOING!?
Gavin Kirkland: FINISHING THIS MATCH AND THE ONLY PERSON HURRICANE HAWK CAN BLAME IS HIMSELF FOR MAKING THIS A NO HOLDS BARRED MATCH! RONAN IS ABOUT TO…. WAIT A SECOND!? WHAT THE HELL!? NO WHY!?
(The crowd explodes in cheers as the Dogs of War do not notice but Ronan does, pointing behind them! They look confused……)
Ronan Malosi: (off Mic) BEHIND YOU, IDIOTS!
(Westin Scott and Ashton Hale looks a little lost, they drop Cage and turn around…..)
Deadprez: A DOUBLE BUCKSHIT LARIAT BY ADAM LUCAS AND HE JUST TOOK OUT BOTH MEMBERS OF THE DOGS OF WAR!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT THE HELL IS ADAM LUCAS DOING HERE!? WHAT IS HE DOING OUT HERE!?
Eve: MAYBE HE GOT SICK AND TIRED OF THIS TRIPLE TEAMING CRAP AND HE THOUGHT TO EVEN THE ODDS! THE DOGS OF WAR FALL OUT OF THE RING AND ADAM GRABS A CHAIR AS HE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING! HE CHASES THE DOGS OF WAR AS THEY RUN TOWARD THE BACK AND RONAN IS JUST SITTING ON THE ROPES WONDERING WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!
(Ronan is standing on the second turnbuckle, screaming….)
Ronan Malosi: (Off Mic) WHERE ARE YOU GOING!? COME BACK! COME BACK!!!!
Deadprez: RONAN DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND HERE COMES CAGE! HE LOOKS DOWN AND CAGE IS STARING RIGHT AT HIM BUT HE HAS THE MALLET IN HAND! RONAN YELLS FOR HIM TO STOP AND….
WHACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: CAGE CRACKED THE MALLET ON RONAN’S KNEE!
WHACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: CAGE JUST CRACKED THE OTHER KNEE WITH THE MALLET AND RONAN IS IN PAIN! CAGE IS CLIMBING THE TOP ROPE! RONAN IS TRYING TO FIGHT HIM BUT CAGE IS LAYING THAT MALLET INTO THE SIDE OF RONAN’S BALD HEAD! NOW HE SMASHES HIM ON THE TOP OF THE HEAD TOO! CAGE TOSSES THE MALLET AND LOOK AT THIS CROWD!
Crowd: HOLY SH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY SH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY SH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: STOP THE DAMN MATCH! STOP THE MATCH NOW THIS IS NOT FAIR TO RONAN!
Eve: CAGE IS PICKING UP RONAN FROM THE TOP ROPE AND HE HITS….. THE SUPELEX INTO THE TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER FROM THE TOP ROPE….. CRADLE TO THE GRAVE!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOOOOO!!!!! RONAN!!!!!
Deadprez: STICK A FORK IN RONAN HE IS DONE!!!!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…. CAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(“Smells Like Teen Spirit” plays throughout the arena as Cage slowly rolls off Ronan. The referee raises his hand in victory as the crowd erupts in cheers. Cage lies on the mat staring at the lights, bleeding, beaten up and bruised. Ronan turns to his side, also bleeding as the referee checks on him…)
Deadprez: These two men put themselves through absolute hell! Ronan Malosi was incensed on winning and we saw a new side of him that was vicious and if that is any indication of we are going to see in 2022, there are a lot of people that better take notice and fast! But tonight, belonged to Cage! He came back and had to dig deep, but he ended up getting that big win! Adam Lucas evened things up with the Dogs of War in the end of the match!
Eve: I have to admit, Ronan had one of the best performances of his season but that wasn’t good enough. Part of it could have been due to wrestling out of his element, I don’t know but Cage came to fight, so did Ronan, and the Hall of Famer leaves with a victory here tonight!
Gavin Kirkland: Ronan was cheated! He was not ready for a match like this and yet everyone wants to justify it! This was not right, and it is more blatant evidence that Hurricane Hawk is after Ronan and will do anything to hold him down!
Eve: Cheated!? The Dogs of War interfered most of the match until the very end!?
Gavin Kirkland: Cheated!
(The referee and medical staff now slide into the ring to check both men out, but Cage pushes them away and gets up on his own power with the help of the ropes, raising his hand in victory much to the delight of the crowd. He turns to Ronan who is being attended to, then smirks before falling out of the ring and landing on his feet, pointing to the crowd, and hopping over the railing, stumbling forward and barely able to stand as he looks back at the carnage, smirks, and heads toward the back as the camera fades elsewhere….)
(An Aussie Summer Christmas Spectacular begins to fade to show the backstage area of the Qudos Bank Arena, with the camera showing the entrance to an office housing a certain General Manager in Elite Answers Wrestling. It then transitions over to the inside where our suspicions are answered and Friday Night Dynasty General Manager, StarrStan is introduced into the camera frame as the EAW Universe in attendance tonight pops in excitement. He has a trademark smile brandished on his face with his hands clasped together while he casually leans against his desk while standing in front of the camera. Starr gives the crowd the time to get their reaction in before they quiet down and give him an opportunity to speak.)
StarrStan: Welcome back to the show, I hope all of you here in the land down under have had a spectacular Free-Per-View and summer season so far! I can tell you right now that I think we all agree that this show has been an absolute blast and the joy of it is that we are far from done with the festivities that we have in store for you tonight. But with this annual celebration of the tremendous year that Elite Answers Wrestling has had so far, we can’t let that take away from the new year that is just on the horizon for us as well. Let me tell you right now that me and my fellow colleagues that consist of the other two General Managers have a lot in store for all of you at home and our Elitists as well in the year 2022, most importantly being the King of Elite tri-branded event that will kick off the new year and be our first destination out of many for the second half of Season 15. While the King of Elite tournament is a yearly tradition, won earlier in the year by the current Answers World Champion, Kassidy Heart; we can’t forget another bombshell announcement that we had a few months back, announcing the return of the Iconic Cup tournament and more specifically, the Empress of Elite tournament as well.
StarrStan: Now in case you didn’t know, the Empress of Elite tournament consists of an all-women’s bracket that coincides with the King of Elite tournament and offers the same benefits as the aforementioned counterpart would as well. We haven’t seen the tournament since 2018 so you can tell its return after four years will be a very big deal once the bracket gets underway, most importantly for the people involved. But how stupid would we be if we left the participants involved in the dark??? Which is exactly why I’m here with you tonight, to announce the female Elitists that will be participating in the Empress of Elite tournament!
StarrStan: Let’s start with the Showdown brand who we know have a lot of hungry up and coming talent that are dying to sink their teeth into something. Starting off with the one and only, Veena Adams, who I’m sure you can see a lot of in the history of this tournament! This Season she has been none short of dominant alongside Charlie Marr in Ad Infinitum, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that she looks to create some magic as a singles wrestler as well. It’ll be great to see what she brings to the table in this tournament! Along with her she will be joined by the team known as The Ice Aces, consisting of Ayu Megumi & Usagi Senshi! Both members of the team have shown strides upon entering the blue brand and I’m sure a huge opportunity like this one is one that they need to elevate themselves to the next level!
StarrStan: Moving onto the Voltage brand to kick it off we have none other than Candice Blair! She has become a mainstay on the brand and I’m sure she’s just been dying to get another opportunity to strike gold, and the Empress of Elite tournament might just be the way to do that. Moving on, we also have Holly Arrow! She is someone who has really stepped up her game this Season and has proved she has what it takes to be up there with the best, and what better way to solidify that than by winning this tournament? Next up we have the team of Marybecca, consisting of Mary S. Atlas & Rebecca Blackwell! Both of them have shown their stripes on the Voltage brand and have shown they can face the best and do not plan to be overlooked in the long run, if you ask me? I think this is the perfect way to show that they’re one of the best tag teams in the company and are the future of this industry. And last but not least, we also have the inclusion of former Specialists Champion, Miku Sakai! One of the breakout stars of EAW, I bet you her Specialists Championship loss has only fueled her to take that next step in her career and elevate herself just like she did previously, which makes her one hell of a target for the tournament itself!
StarrStan: Of course, saving the best for last :mjgrin:, we have the Dynasty brand. Starting off we have the debuting Nariko! She is someone who I’ve personally kept an eye on and I believe is set to do some big things in this company. She is an essential asset to have and I am glad to have her not just in this tournament, but on my brand as well. Moving forward we have a bright, young star in the form of Kristen Myers! She is someone that has recently made her return and I’m sure is more than excited to be involved in this tournament, I can’t wait to see the type of magic she’s able to do under those bright lights! Next we have Lisa Wren! She is someone that has come into her own these past few months on the Dynasty brand and I’m sure is dying to find success as a newly made singles competitor, so this tournament is just for her. And following her we have Serenity Valdez who has made one hell of an impression upon her debut on the Dynasty brand. Placing herself in the Universal Women’s Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber, the fact that she’s only going to get better from here is frightening and that makes her to be one hell of a threat in this tournament. Not only that, we also have the returning Domino Stone participating as well! Taken away from the ring after sustaining an injury in a match, we have learned that Domino has officially recovered from it and is more than ready to do some magic inside that squared circle! Moving on we have Sierra, who has more than proven that she is ready for the future especially on the Dynasty brand! If that Hardcore Championship match showed anything last week especially moving onto have a match the following week, she is dedicated to change and is going to make sure that happens by any means necessary. Speaking of her opponent this week, we also have Ximena Velasquez in the tournament as well! She has been a dominant fixture of EAW and has shown that she is not someone to mess with especially when she can rip you to shreds with her bare hands. Season XV is still underway and she is more than ready to show why that isn’t just a claim, it’s a fact. Then lastly, we also have Dr. Bethany Blue! She’s stated on multiple occasions that Friday Night Dynasty is a fresh start and a chance to prove that she is more than ready for the expectations that she’s placed on herself, especially in her talks about being a World Champion. I’m sure she has no problem getting through the other people in this tournament to make sure that she gets her way in the process! With all of that out of the way, here is your bracket for the tournament!
StarrStan: What a bombshell of an announcement that we have for you guys and it’s only going up from there, as we have so much more to cover heading into the new year that you just don’t want to miss it! Till then, I don’t want to take up anymore of your time, enjoy the rest of the show!
(Starr waves his hand while the camera begins to pan away from him signaling the end of the segment itself. From there, An Aussie Summer Christmas Spectacular then begins to transition to elsewhere from there.)
(Backstage….)
(Kyra Phillips is standing by with a smile on her face….)
Kyra Phillips: What a night we have had so far here at An Aussie Summer Christmas Spectacular! Amir Yusuf with a huge win for Showdown in the Tri-Brand match! ARIA has won the Unique Opportunity Contract! Cage returned successfully in his win over Ronan Malosi! We have seen some awards handed out and later on the National Elite, Unified Tag Team and the huge Main Event are about to come up. But what everyone is looking forward to as the 2021-year ends is the second half of Season 15 and 2022 where there are some big things on the horizon! Joining me right now is the General Manager of Showdown, Hurricane Hawk!
(Hawk steps in as the crowd cheers….)
Hurricane Hawk: Hey Kyra, always a pleasure. What a show we have had tonight and the announcement by StarrStan to the Empress of Elite Tournament Brackets with some of Showdown’s finest women competitors that will be on display. First off I would like to congratulate Amir Yusuf, that young man stepped up and made The Blue Brand proud! ARIA who through that violent storm of a match took the Unique Opportunity Contract and I will be revealing on the first Showdown of 2022 what exactly it is, so stay tuned for that. Cage returned, and that was a war, for as much as Ronan pisses me off, the man can wrestle and he can fight, he showed it tonight and there could be some big things heading his way in 2022. First I would like to make an announcement, Showdown will be hosting TWO Empress of Elite First Round matches which is really exciting, and I look forward to seeing how this all plays out but also we have a King of Elite tournament.
(The crowd cheers)
Kyra Phillips: And it is always an exciting time of year with the King of Elite, and you are about to announce the first two matches in the Showdown portion of the tournament?
Hurricane Hawk: Yes, I am. The King of Elite is an extremely important tournament that will give one man the chance to compete for a World Championship. Kassidy Heart was the first woman to win it last year and probably the last since the inception of the Empress of Elite has returned. So now three individuals will face representing their brands and the first two matches I will announce are RONAN MALOSI and he will take on ROBERTO DE LA ROSA! And in the Main Event? We are going to have JONNY AIRHART try to get past ADAM LUCAS!
(Hearing the name Adam Lucas, the crowd erupts in cheers.)
Hurricane Hawk: The following week, we will have another two first round matches and more to come. But Kyra, a lot of people have been talking about the controversy in the Extreme Elimination Chamber match at Road to Redemption, how it went down, what happened at the end, and let’s face it, anything goes in a match like that. So, while no rules were broken because there weren’t any, I am fully aware that Theron Nikolas did play a part in both the eliminations of TLA and Impact. On the first Showdown of 2022, I’m going to address it. And we are going to find out who truly will be the next opponent for Kassidy Heart at the King of Elite Free Per View. Kyra, I am a fair man and I understand how things work. We are going to have a definitive challenger and there are some other plans in the works that will show just how fair I am. Until then, you’ll have to tune into Showdown and see, enjoy the rest of the show, Happy Holidays, EAW universe and have a safe New Year, see you in 2022!
(Kyra smiles as Hurricane Hawk walks out.)
Kyra Phillips: Guys, back to you.
(The camera shifts to ringside for the next match.)
(The Camera cuts to Bella Braxton standing in the middle of the ring, ready to announce the next match.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Bella Braxton: And it is for your Elite Answers Wrestling NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP!
(The crowd cheers in excitement for the upcoming title match.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first…
(‘The Only Thing They Fear is YOU’ by Mick Gordon starts to play as Ryan Wilson enters the arena to a mixed reaction from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: Making his way to the ring is the challenger. Residing in Newark, New Jersey by way of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He weighs in at 220 pounds. He is “THE ARCHITECT” RYAN WILSON!
James Peters: Here comes a man who had a great performance in the Extreme Elimination Chamber just last week. He might not have walked out with the EAW World Championship, but he gets a second chance here tonight as he could walk out of Australia with the National Elite Title.
Persephone: Good for him. He gets another chance to screw up and lose another chance at becoming champion. Make it quick so I can enjoy Australia without having to look at these idiots.
Rich Russillo: Ever since he broke away on his own, the intensity that Ryan Wilson has brought to his matches has definitely increased tenfold.
James Peters: Ryan can be brash. Ryan can be arrogant on occasion, but whenever he is given an opportunity like the one he has here tonight. He certainly has the skills necessary to walk out of here as the new National Elite Champion.
(Ryan enters the ring and takes his corner as the referee checks him. His entrance theme fades off and leaves the arena silent for a few moments before the lights go out and “Blood, Milk & Sky” by White Zombie starts to play as Minerva enters the arena. Tonight, Minerva is choosing to forgo her standard entrance, but she is still carrying her black rose and wearing the National Elite Title around her waist.)
Bella Braxton: His opponent! She resides in the Florida Everglades. Weighing in at 122 pounds. She is the reigning and defending Elite Answers Wrestling National Elite Champion…”THE BLACK ROSE” MINERVA!
James Peters: Here is a young woman who has been all over the emotional spectrum this whole week. Tonight she is walking into this title defense with a very stoic expression on her face. If there is going to be any emotion coming from Minerva tonight…it’s going to be rage.
Persephone: This shouldn’t have been a surprise to anybody. Everybody who was within New Eden’s listening distance said that Drake was out for himself. Maybe the bitch got what she deserved.
Rich Russillo: Now is not the time for that. Minerva is no doubt happy that Myles became EAW World Champion last week, but tonight is not about Myles. It is about Minerva being able to keep her composure long enough to make it through this title defense. If she can’t keep her mind focused then she will be walking out of Australia empty handed.
(Minerva slowly enters the ring and stands in the middle of the ring, looking around before taking off her championship belt and handing it to the referee before walking to the corner and leaning against the turnbuckle in a seated position.)
James Peters: Minerva has held the National Elite Title for 175 days. She defeated TLA back in June at Pain for Pride. Like her or hate her, this reign is just another testament to how talented Minerva is. If my research is correct, then Minerva’s reign with the National Elite Championship is the longest reign in five years. The question is will we see the reign of Minerva continue after tonight or will we see the Ryan Wilson era make a resurgence at the end of 2021? We’re getting ready to find out.
(Minerva takes off her hat and licks her lips with a smirk on her face waiting for the match to begin, while twirling the rose. The referee presents the title to Champion and Challenger before holding the title in the air. The referee hands the title to Bella Braxton before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: The referee has called for the bell and here we go. National Elite Championship on the line. It was just one week ago that these two competed against each other in the Extreme Elimination Chamber, but this is a different environment. This is one on one. Minerva and Ryan take a moment before finally locking up.
Rich Russillo: Ryan with the strength advantage applies a side headlock and takes early control over Minerva. Minerva has had throughout the week that even though she just felt the essence of betrayal that it will not be affecting her in this match. She said she will be as dangerous as she ever has.
Persephone: I think the Gypsy bitch is losing it. Pasty girl has already had too much of the Australia sun. I heard what she said too, but she is talking to imaginary people. I hardly think she is fully mentally ready to fight the ugly bearded loudmouth.
James Peters: Wilson still cranking on the neck of Minerva. I think it would be pretty smart for Ryan Wilson to come up with a strategy to go for the body parts that were hurt the most in that chamber. Minerva with shots to the side of Ryan. That’s enough to get Ryan to release the headlock and Minerva whips him to the ropes.
Rich Russillo: Wilson with the rebound and MINERVA WITH THE LOU THESZ PRESS!! LEFTS AND RIGHTS TO THE FACE OF RYAN! WILSON COVERING UP AND THE REFEREE IS TRYING TO GET MINERVA TO OPEN THE FISTS!
Persephone: Like that’s going to work. Somebody needs to tell the referee that the lights are on, but there is nobody home. Minerva is a little nutsy cuckoo at the moment. What else is new?
James Peters: I guess there is somebody home in Minerva’s mind because she does open the fists. Wilson rolls onto his stomach and MINERVA RAKES THE BACK OF RYAN WILSON! DAMN! THAT ONE WILL STING WITH THOSE NAILS MINERVA HAS!
Rich Russillo: Minerva is doing the best thing she can right now and that is staying on the attack. She’s looking at an almost 100 pound weight disadvantage. Normally that wouldn’t matter much because Minerva is pretty powerful, but with the damage she sustained at Road to Redemption, any disadvantage that she has at the moment has just been amplified by a whole bunch. Now Minerva is just stomping and kicking the challenger.
Persephone: For being the champion level athlete that Minerva claims to be, I highly doubt she is wearing all those bruises as a badge of honor. Dumb bitch should have covered them up with makeup or something. Now Gingerbeard has about fifteen bullseyes he can choose from. Stupid bitch.
James Peters: Minerva isn’t worrying about that right now because she is in complete control in this match. Wilson rolls into the corner and Minerva picks him up and puts him against the corner. MINERVA RAKING THE EYES OF RYAN WILSON! ONCE AGAIN MINERVA IS BEING ADMONISHED BY THE REFEREE!
Rich Russillo: Minerva’s patience is no doubt very thin and she is hoping to finish this match as fast as possible. Minerva is now standing on the second rope and is once again pounding the head of Ryan Wilson.
ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NIN-
James Peters: RYAN WILSON STOPS HER MID PUNCH AND PUSHES HER OVER THE TOP ROPE! MINERVA BOUNCES OFF THE APRON AND HAS A CRASH LANDING ON THE FLOOR! THAT HAS GOTTA HURT!
Persephone: Bahahaha!! Gypsy bitch got cocky and it cost her. Now knock her stupid orange head off!
Rich Russillo: Are you hostile towards Minerva because she has a man and you don’t? Are you feeling a little jealous?
Persephone: First off, go fuck yourself. Two, I have a man. It’s just that my Rexy has to work on a few things first.
James Peters: Enough about Percy’s lack of a love life and let’s get back to the match. Minerva is hurting on the outside and Ryan Wilson is gearing up for an attack. Wilson hits the ropes on the far side and rebounds at full speed. Minerva just made it back to her feet and SUICIDE DIVE BY RYAN WILSON! MINERVA DOWN ONCE AGAIN ON THE OUTSIDE IN FRONT OF US AND WILSON IS FEELING THE INTENSITY!!
Rich Russillo: The challenger is not wasting any time during any further damage on the outside. Wilson picks up Minerva and rolls her back into the ring. Wilson on the apron and he springboards off the ropes. LEG DROP OFF THE ROPES! WILSON LANDS ACROSS THE THROAT OF MINERVA! MINERVA IS COUGHING A BIT AS WILSON ROLLS HER INTO THE COVER! FIRST PIN OF THE MATCH…
ONNNNNNEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOO!!
Persephone: Damn! Gypsy bitch kicks out. Guess we know that nothing of hers got crushed.
James Peters: She might have a few bumps and bruises, but it will take more than that to take down the National Elite Champion. Now Ryan is going to return the favor and is starting doing the grounding and pounding on Minerva. Now it is Minerva’s turn to block the punches coming from Ryan Wilson.
Rich Russillo: The referee is also telling Ryan to open the fists, but Ryan is a little more willing to open the hands up. Poor referee has their hands full in this match up. We know that Minerva likes to break the rules any chance she can. On occasion, Ryan has also been known to stretch the rules in his favor.
Persephone: Then why the hell did the higher ups not make this match a No DQ match? These two losers can beat the hell out of each other even more. Then they can bleed and this match can hopefully get less boring.
James Peters: Wilson now back in control of this match and he picks Minerva up. He puts Minerva on his shoulder. Ryan might be looking for a powerslam. NO! RYAN WITH THE SHOULDERBREAKER ON MINERVA AND IT WAS THE SHOULDER THAT WAS BRANDED IN THE EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER!
Rich Russillo: We called it right and now Wilson is going to focus on that injured shoulder, which is probably the worst injury she received in the chamber. We know damn well that the injury on the shoulder isn’t fully healed yet or even close to that. I also think that Ryan knows that too, so his game plan that we talked about earlier might be to take out that shoulder.
Persephone: She can’t even look in the mirror without thinking about one of the men that she hates more than life itself in Drake King and it makes her sick. That in turn makes me smile because I hate that skank.
James Peters: Ryan Wilson takes that injured shoulder of Minerva and throws it back on the canvas. Minerva cringes in pain, but not for long. RYAN DROPS HIS KNEE RIGHT ON THE SHOULDER OF MINERVA! Ryan is feeling pretty good with his handiwork and now HE DROPS THE POINT OF HIS ELBOW IN THE SHOULDER! HE IS TRYING TO ELIMINATE THE USE OF THAT SHOULDER!
Rich Russillo: Ryan Wilson picks up Minerva and whips her into the corner. Ryan rushes to the corner and HITS A HELLUVA KICK! INSTEAD OF THE HEAD, RYAN KICKED THE SHOULDER! MINERVA FALLS TO THE GROUND HOLDING THAT SHOULDER! RYAN HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWOOOO!!!
THHHHRRRRREEE–
Persephone: Why the hell did she kick out again? This match could have been over again! Damn! This is a bunch of bullshit. END THIS THING!
James Peters: Minerva trying to do whatever she can to get some feeling back in that shoulder, but Ryan is just a little quicker. Ryan picks Minerva back up and HITS A STUN GUN ON THE SHOULDER ACROSS THE TOP ROPE!! Ryan is decimating that shoulder of the National Elite Champion.
Rich Russillo: Minerva has not been able to get out of the starting gates after landing on her shoulder earlier in the match and it has been all Ryan Wilson since then. Now Ryan has locked in a Full Nelson. Wilson once again putting some pressure on that injured shoulder of Minerva.
Persephone: Just drop the bitch on her neck and end this damn thing. No need to torture her like this. I mean maybe this isn’t hurting her at all. She dates Myles so maybe she likes the pain. Such a sicko!!
James Peters: Ryan lifts up Minerva to add more pressure, BUT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A MISTAKE! MINERVA WRAPS HER LEGS AROUND RYAN AND ROLLS HIM FORWARD! MINERVA BRIDGES AND ROLLS HIM UP!
ONNNNNNNNEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOO!!
THHHHHRRRRREEEE–
Rich Russillo: RYAN KICKS OUT! BUT HE ALMOST GOT CAUGHT! Minerva might not have won the match, but she got Ryan to release the hold and earn herself a breakaway. Ryan is still quicker to his feet as once again rushes Minerva. Minerva back to her feet as Ryan gets to her, BUT SHE’S BITING! MINERVA BITING THE FOREHEAD OF RYAN WILSON! WILSON BREAKS FREE, BUT MINERVA ROLLS HIM UP!
ONNNEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOO!!!
Persephone: Ref? REF!! You’re such a dumbass!! Gypsy bitch has the tights!! HELLO!?!?!
THHHHHRRRRRREEEEE!!!
James Peters: RYAN ONCE AGAIN KICKS OUT! There’s a reason why he is a former New Breed Champion. He knows how to get himself out of situations like that, but that will not stop Minerva in the slightest. She hits the ropes as Ryan tries to recover from the rollup. Minerva rebounds and SHE HITS HIM WITH THE RUNNING STO! RYAN’S FACE BOUNCES OFF THE MAT!
Rich Russillo: But Minerva is not through. She pulls Ryan back up to his feet and locks his arms. LOOK AT THE HEADBUTTS FROM MINERVA! ONE AFTER THE OTHER! SHE MIGHT KNOCK RYAN WILSON LOOPY!
Persephone: Hell that won’t take long. He was halfway down that road anyway. Is it because of that ugly beard or the fact he teamed with the Las Vegas Shamu Ronan Malosi? Either way. He’s not fully functioning upstairs.
James Peters: I think something must be working upstairs because he got an arm free and he lifts Minerva up. SWINGS HER AROUND AND PLANTS HER! RYAN WILSON’S VERSION OF THE BLUE THUNDER BOMB! HE CALLS IT THE LA BOMBE BLEU! HE GOT ALL OF IT AND HE GOES FOR THE COVER! WILL WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION?
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHRRRREEEE!!
…
…
Rich Russillo: MINERVA GETS THE SHOULDER UP! SHE IS SHOWING THE INTENSITY THAT HAS BROUGHT HER VICTORY ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS! THIS MATCH IS FAR FROM OVER!
Persephone: Well that isn’t surprising. When you have a damn move called the La Cordon Bleu, everybody kicks out of that shit. The worst that move will do is give a person heartburn. I know I’m starting to get it just seeing the damn move.
James Peters: The move is called La Bombe Bleu, but I think you knew that. Wilson whips Minerva into the corner. RYAN GOING FOR A MONKEY FLIP BUT MINERVA FINDS STRENGTH AND SENDS HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! MINERVA LOCKS AROUND THE WAIST OF RYAN AND THROWS HIM INTO GERMAN SUPLEX! HOW THE HELL DID SHE DO THAT!
Rich Russillo: The intensity of a champion is what is driving this young lady. Right now, she might not be seeing Ryan Wilson. She could be seeing Drake King and if she is, Ryan Wilson is royally screwed.
Persephone: Oh great! One ugly bastard for another. Can’t I picture Rex McAllister instead of both of them?
James Peters: Picture whoever you want because Ryan Wilson lands on the back of his head and Minerva is heading to the top rope. She is still fighting the pain in that shoulder but that isn’t stopping her. Minerva rarely flies, but when she does she makes it count.
Rich Russillo: That’s right. Minerva is taking a huge chance here. She drops before she flies! HELL’S BELLS!! SPLIT LEG MOONSAULT CONNECTS AND SHE GOT ALL OF IT! KNEES LANDING RIGHT IN THE BREAD BASKET OF RYAN WILSON!
Persephone: Gypsy bitch is holding her shoulder…dumbass. But she is hooking the leg. Is this match about to be over? Gawd I hope so! Hurry up!!
ONNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWOOOOO!!
THHHHRRRREEEEE!!!
…
James Peters: RYAN KICKS OUT ONCE AGAIN AFTER THE HELL’S BELLS! JUST LIKE MINERVA DOESN’T WANT TO LOSE, NEITHER DOES RYAN WILSON! THEY BOTH WANT THIS TITLE SO BADLY!
Rich Russillo: This has been a hell of a matchup between these two and neither one wants to give an inch to the other. Minerva isn’t pleased that the moonsault didn’t put her challenger away. It could also be the pain in her shoulder, but that isn’t going to stop her. If all the stuff that she went through at Road to Redemption ended with her still standing today, a little shoulder pain isn’t going to keep her down.
Persephone: They get my hopes up and then they take them away just as quickly. I hate Gypsy Bitch. I hate Gingerbeard. I hate the ref. Can’t there be a maniacal kangaroo that can maul these two and end the match quicker.
James Peters: No, there isn’t. So just sit back and enjoy the match as it is going on. Minerva is going to pick up Ryan, but RYAN CATCHES HER! RYAN TRYING TO LOCK IN THE TWICE SUBMITTED! HE HAS THE TRIANGLE! ALL HE NEEDS IS THE KIMURA AND IT’S FULLY APPLIED!
Rich Russillo: HOLD ON! MINERVA MANAGES TO FLIP FORWARD! MINERVA COUNTERS INTO A JACKKNIFE PIN! RYAN’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!!
ONNNNEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHRREEEE!!
James Peters: Ryan Wilson kicks out once again! You have got to give it to Minerva. That was very resourceful of her to counter like that. She was dangerously close to being locked in a submission, but she kept her cool. You also have to give it to Ryan Wilson for being able to kick out of a surprise move like that.
Rich Russillo: Both competitors have been keeping their cool through this entire match even though both have been countered on numerous occasions. Both Minerva and Ryan back to their feet. Minerva hits the ropes, but Wilson saw it coming. Ryan went for a clothesline, but Minerva ducks it. She quickly stops and turns around and lifts Ryan up and COUNTERS INTO A SPINEBUSTER! HOLY CRAP!!
Persephone: A SPINEBUSTER! Does this bitch have like video game strength or something? How the hell did she do that? Who has the fucking cheat codes for this bitch? Probably her man thing. Dammit Myles, stop playing so she can lose!
James Peters: Minerva pulled that out of left field and took Ryan down. Even with the pain she is in, she finds her second wind and pulls out a power move like that and brings the momentum back into her favor with that bottom of the ninth spinebuster.
Rich Russillo: MINERVA PULLS RYAN BACK UP TO HIS FEET! SHE’S NOW GOING FOR THE SWINGING NECKBREAKER, BUT WILSON COUNTERS. WILSON TRIPS UP MINERVA AND GRABS HOLD OF ONE OF HER LEGS! RYAN MOVES HER AROUND AND LOCKS HER IN THE STF! STF APPLIED!! MINERVA IN THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH A LONG WAY TO GO! WILL THIS BE THE END OF THE TITLE REIGN OF THE BLACK ROSE?
James Peters: MINERVA IS CRYING IN PAIN! THE REFEREE IS ASKING HER IF SHE WANTS TO GIVE IT UP, BUT SHE IS SCREAMING HELL NO! THE LAST THING SHE WANTS TO DO IS SUBMIT AND LOSE HER TITLE THIS WAY. SHE DOESN’T WANT TO LOSE HER TITLE IN ANYWAY.
Persephone: That’s right!! It’s almost over!! Come on bitch! You are in the center of the ring and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it! Give it up. Give it all up and stay a failure for the rest of your life. Not even your boyfriend will want anything to do to you.
James Peters: I don’t know if you should have said that because if she heard you, it must have lit a fire under Minerva. LOOK AT MINERVA FIND THE STRENGTH TO START DRAGGING HERSELF AND RYAN TO THE ROPES! SHE IS GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER! WILL SHE HAVE ENOUGH TO MAKE IT TO THE ROPES OR WILL SHE FALL JUST A LITTLE SHORT. MINERVA IS ALMOST THERE! SHE IS ALMOST THERE AND…
…
Rich Russillo: MINERVA REACHES THE ROPES! SHE GETS HER HAND ON THE ROPES AND NOW RYAN MUST RELEASE THE STF! THE REFEREE IS TELLING RYAN TO RELEASE THE HOLD! THE REF REACHES FOUR AND NOW RYAN LETS IT GO! That extra four seconds can make a world of difference considering Ryan’s main point of attack has been the shoulders.
Persephone: OH COME ON!! WE WERE SO CLOSE TO THIS MATCH ENDING! THIS MATCH HAS BEEN TOTAL SHIT!! HURRY UP AND END THIS!
Rich Russillo: Maybe you should keep quiet? Ryan Wilson must have heard you because he is back on his feet and he is calling for the end of this match! He is picking up Minerva! RYAN WILSON IS GOING FOR THE MIC DROP! HE WANTS TO DROP MINERVA RIGHT ON HER HEAD! IF HE HITS THIS MIC DROP, WE WILL HAVE A NEW CHAMPION! WILSON LIFTING MINERVA UP IN THE AIR! MIC DROP ON THE WAY…
James Peters: NO IT ISN’T! WILSON COULDN’T GET THE MOVE FULLY APPLIED!! IT HAS BEEN COUNTERED!! MINERVA COUNTERED THE MIC DROP AND IS HOISTING WILSON IN THE AIR AND TWISTS HIM! SHE IS USING THE ADRENALINE SHE HAS AND IS FIGHTING THE PAIN IN HER SHOULDER! WILL SHE BE ABLE TO LIFT HIM UP ENOUGH WITH THE PAIN IN THAT SHOULDER? SHE GETS HIM UP ENOUGH AND SHE HITS IT! ATLAS FALLS AND SHE GOT ALL OF IT! TWISTING BRAINBUSTER CONNECTS! WILSON DROPPED RIGHT ON HIS HEAD! WILL ATLAS FALLS LEAD TO THE FALL OF WILSON’S CHANCES OF WINNING THIS MATCH? MINERVA GOES FOR THE COVER AND HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWOOOOOO!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Blood, Milk & Sky” starts playing again as Minerva slowly rolls off of Ryan and stands up holding her ribs as the referee holds her arm in victory before she quickly snatches it away.)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner…and STILLLLLL EAW National Elite Champion…MINERVA!
James Peters: What a fight! Both Elitists fought hard and gave all that they had, but it was Minerva who picked up the victory in this match. Wilson’s Quebec Strong Style was a force, but it just wasn’t enough.
Rich Russillo: Ryan Wilson brought it to Minerva and showed that he is very capable in becoming champion again, but it was the focused Minerva who brought just a little bit more in this match up.
Persephone: Good. It’s over. Now they can leave and we can get on this show.
(Minerva slowly rolls out of the ring as the referee hands her the National Elite Championship and she starts walking up the ramp.)
James Peters: I can guarantee that this will not be the last time that we will see Ryan Wilson in a championship match, but tonight belongs to the Black Rose, Minerva. She fought through the physical pain. She fought through the emotions that she had been going through for a week and she succeeded. Congratulations to Minerva.
(Minerva is standing at the top of the ramp holding her title high as Ryan finally sits up and realizes what happened as he looks up the ramp at Minerva as the camera then goes from the ring to the stage where Sabina is seen at the podium.)
Sabina: Thank you for joining us once again tonight as up next we have the award for ‘World Heavyweight Champion of the Year!’ And the nominees are as follows…
(The camera then goes to show the nominees for ‘World Heavyweight Champion of the Year’ with a graphic:
– Lethal Consequences
– Xander Payne
– The Visual Prophet.)
(The broadcast cuts back to the stage as the drumroll begins. Sabina opens the envelope to read the name of the winner of the next set of award nominations.)
Sabina: Your winner of the 2021 World Heavyweight Champion of the Year… XAAAAAAAANDERRRRR PAYNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
( “It Follows” by Cane Hill blasts through the speakers as a huge pop reverberates around the stadium to the presence of Xander Payne. Xander Payne, still taped up from what went down at Road To Redemption, enters the entranceway with a smile on his face. He’s dressed up in casual hoodie and sweatpants, seemingly far from what a proper dress code asks for. He looks around the atmosphere before he makes his way to the podium. He now leans towards the microphone.)
Xander Payne: The best EAW World Heavyweight Champion of the year? Not so bad, is it? And what was it? I got Extreme Moment Of The Year by digging that girl’s birth control implant out of her arm in February? That’s pretty awesome.Considering the other nominees had their own underwhelming championship reigns, the winner of this award was pretty obvious. I mean, come on. It was academic ever since the nominations were announced. Who thought that Johnny Consequences or Jeffery Rogers had better championship reigns than me? I beat the best of the best from pillar to post, I main evented Payne For Pride and submitted one of my main inspirations in the center of that ring, and I was the reason why Friday Night Dynasty went from intolerable to must-see weekly television. When everyone thought that Xander Payne would never actually prove to be legitimate world championship material, oh, did I prove them wrong. Failure after failure, everyone else gave up one me and there was no conf for yours truly. But, that didn’t matter because I still had the faith. I still had the belief that I could see my dreams unfold before my very own eyes. I won this championship without dispute, and when people thought that I would succumb to the Dray Fontana curse, or that I would lose this championship because I have a reputation for crumbling under pressure, I held this damn championship for nearly two hundred days. No one thought I could do this. No one thought I could be champion, let alone hold the position for half a year. I am the end-all, the-all of this brand. I am the Industry Titan. I am the Lifeline of this brand. I am your … God… You may not respect me for what I say, or what I do, but you cannot deny the numbers on the scoreboards and the wreckage I have left behind in my road of destruction. Without the championship or not, I am one of the best things that has happened to this company in recent memory and you cannot deny my impact.
Xander Payne: Seeing as Road To Redemption obviously didn’t go how I wanted it to be, I already know what the consensus about yours truly is. You claim that I am nothing without the EAW World Heavyweight Championship, and that may be true to a certain extent, and I can come up with an infinite amount of excuses for what happened at Road To Redemption, but at this point. There is no need for the excuses, is there? I promised everyone that I would prevent this company from being subject to a reign of terror, and I technically fulfilled some of my promises. I told everyone that I would knock down every roadblock possible in order to force a confrontation between Jeffery Rogers and myself. I did exactly that. I made sure that all of those people who shouldn’t have been inside that chamber in the first place would be kicked to the sidelines and it came down to between the both of us. I had an opportunity to right a wrong, to rectify what went down at House Of Glass, and I didn’t. I did not hold up my end of the bargain, and I very much apologize for that. Therefore, I am not worthy of being in a mile’s radius of that championship for the time being. I am going to spend the next months building myself back up and ensuring that I am worthy once again of being world champion. material. For now? Why not celebrate. As I said, no one believed that I could be a world champion in the first place. Look at me now! The best EAW World Heavyweight Champion of the year! This is everything to me. This is for my wife and children, for my brothers, for my father, for everyone that believed in me. And this is also for all of you naysayers and professional idiots. This championship reign proves that I am here to dominate, and most importantly here to stay. I-
????: You’ve got to be kidding me.
( Xander Payne rolls his eyes and facepalms as he hears Andre Walker’s voice interrupts him. The crowd lets out a roar of boos as Andre Walker walks out with Albert Hitchman by his side. Walker doesn’t look so impressed in Xander’s win.)
Andre Walker: Seriously, is this a joke? Stop with this damn nonsense. The reason why everyone thought you would never fill those shoes is because you weren’t capable of. Now that you had a mediocre championship reign, you think that you proved everyone wrong? You didn’t do anything. You held that championship in captivity for nearly half a year and not a single soul in this building actually enjoyed it. It wasn’t entertaining at all and EAW wants to roll the red carpet for the symbol of mediocrity? It is ridiculous.
( The boos instantly increases volume as Walker begins to walk closer towards Xander Payne. Albert Hitchman is proudly holding up the EAW Interwire Championship behind him.)
Xander Payne: And of course, someone has the balls to interrupt me. What the hell do you want from me, Andre? You already had your moment earlier, and here you are, raining down on my parade, and ruining my moment? What happened to people having manners these days? Just tell everyone that you’re jealous you were never a threat to my championship reign and get your posing ass out of here.
Andre Walker: Poser? Are you still really on with that?
( Walker walks right in front of his face.)
Andre Walker: The fact of the matter is, Xander. You have been standing in my way the entire reason, and I think it is time that you stop being a thorn to my side. You have demonstrated that you are no longer world championship material, so I am going to present two choices to you. Take your two ridiculous awards and take the next plane out of Australia to never come back to this company, or I finish what The Visual Prophet started. I recommend that you choose very wisely.
(Both men look at each other intensely before Xander brings the mic closer to his mouth.)
Xander Payne: Is this supposed to be a threat? You really are a selfish piece of shit aren’t you? You never have changed… But.. Oh well.. If this is how it’s going to be then, let it be..
Stew-O: OH!!! XANDER PAYNE WITH A HEADBUTT THAT SENDS ANDRE WALKER A COUPLE OF STEPS BACK!! ANDRE WALKER MAY HAVE MADE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF HIS LIFE AS XANDER IS NOW OVERWHELMING WITH LEFTS AND RIGHTS!! PUNCHES AND JABS FROM XANDER AS ANDRE FIGHTS BACK!! AND HE PUNCHES XANDER RIGHT IN HIS FACE!!
Flannery McCoy: XANDER GOES DOWN ONTO ONE KNEE!! NOW ANDRE PICKS HIM UP!! BUT XANDER RETALIATES, PUSHES HIM BACK, AND STUNS HIM WITH A SUPERKICK!! SHOOT SUPERKICK TO THE FACE!! WHO WOULD’VE THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD’VE LET TO AN ALL-OUT BRAWL!! ALBERT HITCHMAN IS WATCHING THIS IN HORROR AS XANDER NOW PULLS HIM IN!! AND I THINK HE IS TRYING TO GO FOR A POWERBOMB!!!!
Jake Mercer: ALBERT HITCHMAN FALLS TO THE FLOOR AND GRABS XANDER’S LEGS!! XANDER IS CONFUSED AS HE TAKES HIS ATTENTION OFF ANDRE ONTO ALBERT!! ANDRE BACKS OFF AND CONNECTS WITH THE KAISER’S TOUCH!! SUPERMAN PUNCH FROM WALKER AS ANDRE NOW GRABS XANDER!
Stew-O: THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION TOSSES XANDER PAYNE HIGH UP INTO THE AIR!! AND XANDER ENDURES A FIFTEEN-FEET DROP OFF THE STAGE ONTO THE SCAFFOLDINGS BELOW!! OH MY GOD!! ANDRE WALKER WAS BEING SERIOUS ABOUT ENSURING THAT XANDER PAYNE WOULD STAY OUT OF HIS WAY!! ANDRE WALKER JUST MURDERED XANDER AS ALL OF THE STAGEHOLD BELOW SCRAMBLE TO TEND TO THE PAYNEKILLER!!
Flannery McCoy: Andre Walker makes a huge statement and sends Xander Payne to meet his maker! Walker is showing that he is not going to be playing around in the new year and let this be a message to the entire Friday Night Dynasty roster! Look at Xander Payne! If you decide to step in the Kaiser’s way, then you will end up just like him!
(Andre Walker holds up the EAW Interwire Championship in the air as he looks down to see Xander Payne unresponsive in the rubble below. It’s the last shot seen before An Aussie Summer Christmas Spectacular once again fades to elsewhere)
(The camera fades back to ringside, where Stephie Love is seen with a microphone in her hand.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Stephie Love: And it is for the Unified Tag Team Championships!
(‘Shake It’ by Metro Station hits, and the crowd gives a huge mixed reaction as Jake Smith and Chris Elite begin to make their way out to the stage. Both of them look more focused than ever despite their bandages, covering their injuries following their Road to Redemption Extreme Elimination Chamber match. They both know how big this match is for them, and they don’t waste any time beginning to make their way down to the ring. As they walk down the ramp it becomes noticeable that Chris is actually slightly limping, but Chris doesn’t let that bother him, both knowing that they want the Unified Tag Team Championships tonight, no matter what injuries they have to fight through.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… At a combined weight of 420 pounds… JAKE SMITH AND CHRIS ELITE, THE HAIIRRRCCAAAARREEEE KIIIIIIIIIIINGS!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Jake and Chris aren’t in the best condition tonight, but there’s no way that they were going to back out of this match tonight. They won the tag team turmoil tournament, and they clearly want the Unified Tag Team Championships. They might be injured and Chris’ leg might be seriously damaged, but if I were the Champions, I’d make sure I was on my A game tonight.
Jake Mercer: Come on, look at them! Let’s just be honest with ourselves, Stew. There’s no way that these two are leaving this match with the Unified Tag Team Championships. It’s just not happening, not tonight.
Flannery McCoy: I don’t think it’s fair to write them off completely, but I’ll admit it’ll be an uphill battle. It’s not like these two haven’t fought under these conditions though, so who knows? Maybe they’ll surprise people tonight.
(‘It Has Begun’ by Starset hits, and the crowd begins to boo as Xavier Williams walks out to the stage. He’s wearing his Unified Tag Team Championship around his waist along with a few bandages for his own slight injuries following Road to Redemption, and he waits at the top of the stage as ‘Witches Burn’ by the Pretty Reckless hits. The crowd only continues to boo as Harlow joins Xavier at the stage holding her own Championship, but the two begin to walk down the ramp together ignoring the crowd reaction. Much like the opposing team these two look focused on the upcoming match, not willing to take any chances even if their opponents tonight are injured.)
Stephie Love: And their opponents…. At a combined weight of 355…. THEY ARE THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS….. HAAARRRLOOOWWWW REEIIIICCHHERRRRTT AND XAAAVVIIIERRRR WILLLIIIIAAMMMSSSSS!!!!!!
Stew-O: And now here come the Champions! These two have been on an amazing run as a tag team, and for a while it looked like nobody could stop them. Could tonight be the night that changes?
Jake Mercer: Xavier Williams has been in a Chamber just like Jake and Chris, but I don’t think his injuries come close to what the Haircare Kings suffered. With that being said, no. This isn’t the night things change. These two are going to be Champions forever!
Flannery McCoy: Jake and Chris sure don’t believe that. This is a big night for them, so I guess we’ll just have to see what happens.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: AND HERE WE GO! Harlow Reichert starts the match off with Jake Smith, and both Elitists quickly lock up! I can see exactly why these two are starting this match as Chris is injured and Xavier Williams, much like the Haircare Kings, has dealt with an Extreme Elimination Chamber just last week! Both the hurt Jake Smith and Harlow Reichert are looking for the power advantage, but Harlow is quickly able to transition into a side headlock! Harlow’s always been a very gifted wrestler, and her getting the advantage at the start of this match might be very bad for the Haircare Kings!
Jake Mercer: Jake Smith tries to push Harlow off of her, and Harlow quickly slips behind Jake before grabbing the arm, pulling him into a hammerlock hold before turning him back around! HARLOW SETS UP FOR A HAMMERLOCK DDT- BUT JAKE SMITH MANAGES TO PULL HIMSELF OUT OF HARLOW’S GRASP BEFORE TURNING HIMSELF AROUND, FREEING HIMSELF FROM THE HAMMERLOCK BEFORE PULLING HARLOW INTO A KICK TO THE STOMACH! Jake now quickly pulling Harlow into a front facelock! Jake putting Harlow’s arm around his neck, AND HE LIFTS HER UP INTO A SUPLEX POSITION-
Flannery McCoy: BUT HARLOW IS ABLE TO SLIP BEHIND JAKE BEFORE GRABBING HIM FROM BEHIND! WAIT, BACK ELBOW TO THE JAW! I THINK HARLOW WAS ABOUT TO LOOK FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX, BUT JAKE MANAGES TO LAND A BACK ELBOW! Jake now grabbing Harlow, AND HE ATTEMPTS TO SEND HER INTO THE TURNBUCKLES IN AN EMPTY CORNER, BUT HARLOW TURNS IT AROUND AND SENDS JAKE INTO THEM INSTEAD! HARLOW NOW RUNNING IN- BUT JAKE GETS THE BOOT UP!
Stew-O: AND HARLOW CATCHES IT!
Flannery McCoy: AND JAKE JUMPS UP, HITTING HARLOW WITH A STEP-UP ENZUIGIRI TO FREE HIMSELF FROM HARLOW’S GRASP!
Stew-O: Harlow Reichert stumbles back as Jake quickly pulls himself back up, AND NOW JAKE RUSHES TOWARDS HARLOW LOOKING FOR A LARIAT, BUT HARLOW IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT, AND AS SOON AS JAKE TURNS AROUND HARLOW IS ABLE TO PULL HIM DOWN INTO A SNAPMARE! Harlow grabs Jake by the arm, but Jake turns around and connects with a right hand before Harlow could really take control with a hold! Now it’s Jake trying to take control as he pulls Harlow into a side headlock, BUT HARLOW IS QUICKLY ABLE TO PUSH JAKE INTO THE ROPES, CAUSING HIM TO BOUNCE OFF OF THEM!
Jake Mercer: AND HARLOW CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK AS SOON AS JAKE BOUNCES OFF OF THE ROPES, CONNECTING WITH HIS JAW AND DROPPING HIM TO THE MAT! Jake is slowly stumbling back up to his feet, but Harlow is quickly able to grab Jake and pull him towards her team’s corner, before tagging in Xavier Williams! Harlow with a kick to Jake’s midsection as Xavier enters the ring, and Xavier grabs Jake before taking him to the mat with a snap suplex! The pace of this match has been slowed down as the Unified Tag Team Champions are in firm control!
Flannery McCoy: Xavier Williams now with a grounded headlock on Jake Smith! If it wasn’t already bad for the Haircare Kings that the Champions are in control, Jake knows that he can’t just tag Chris into this match right away, not while Chris has this injury to worry about! Xavier Williams doesn’t go for the cover as he knows how early we still are into this match, but he does turn himself around onto his knees, allowing him to pull himself back up to his feet while still holding onto Jake! XAVIER NOW LIFTING JAKE UP FOR ANOTHER SUPLEX-
Stew-O: BUT HE DOESN’T GET IT! JAKE IS ABLE TO GET THE KNEE TO THE HEAD, AND BOTH ELITISTS STUMBLE BACK AWAY FROM EACH OTHER AS JAKE LANDS ON HIS FEET! Jake now running in as Xavier does the same, AND NOW IT’S XAVIER GOING FOR THE CLOTHESLINE- BUT JAKE DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE BOUNCING OFF OF THE ROPES, AND JAKE GOES FOR A BICYCLE KICK BUT XAVIER IS ABLE TO GRAB JAKES LEG, SWEEPING JAKE’S FREE LEG OUT FROM UNDER HIM AND DROPPING HIM TO THE MAT! XAVIER NOW WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO JAKE’S MIDSECTION!
Jake Mercer: Jake Smith pulls himself up to a knee as he holds his stomach, but Xavier Williams is in firm control as he quickly runs the ropes, DELIVERING A RUNNING- NO! JAKE MANAGES TO PULL XAVIER DOWN INTO A SCHOOL BOY ROLL UP! JAKE PULLS XAVIER DOWN INTO A ROLL UP!
ONE!
TWO!!-
Jake Mercer: XAVIER WILLIAMS KICKS OUT- AND JAKE SMITH CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK! THAT WAS A HUGE SUPERKICK BY JAKE, AND NOW IT’S JAKE PULLING XAVIER TOWARDS THE HAIRCARE KINGS’ CORNER, COMPLETELY TURNING THE TABLE ON THIS MATCH AS JAKE FINALLY TAGS IN HIS PARTNER!
Flannery McCoy: Chris Elite slowly makes his way into the ring as both he and Jake grab onto Xavier, AND THEY DELIVER A DOUBLE SUPLEX, SENDING XAVIER BACK FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! Jake Smith now making his way into the ring as Chris Elite pulls Xavier away from the corner, and there’s a cover by Chris!
ONE!
TWO!!
Flannery McCoy: Xavier kicks out! Xavier sits up, but Chris immediately gets him in a rear chinlock! Chris still has a hurt leg following Road to Redemption, so I can see why Chris would want to try and slow things down and avoid having to risk further injury!
Stew-O: Xavier Williams is quickly back up to his feet though, and Xavier manages to land an elbow to Chris’ midsection! Chris stumbling back, AND XAVIER GOES FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK, BUT CHRIS DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE PUSHING XAVIER INTO THE ROPES! CHRIS ELITE NOW RUNNING IN, AND NOW CHRIS JUMPS UP FOR THE JUMPING KNEE-
Jake Mercer: BUT IT DOESN’T CONNECT! XAVIER AVOIDS THE OPEN YA MATA, AND HE GRABS CHRIS BEFORE PLANTING HIM ON HIS NECK WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX- NO! CHRIS ELITE MANAGES TO LAND ON HIS FEET, but that took a lot out of him and you can see it from the look on his face!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, AND CHRIS’ HESITATION GAVE XAVIER JUST THE OPPORTUNITY TO STRIKE, AS XAVIER GRABS CHRIS BY THE LEGS AND DROPS HIM TO THE MAT! Xavier is holding onto Chris’ bad leg, AND I THINK HE’S TRYING TO TURN HIM OVER, POTENTIALLY FOR A SINGLE LEG BOSTON CRAB! Chris is using his free leg to try and kick Xavier off of him, BUT XAVIER MANAGES TO GRAB THE FREE LEG, AND XAVIER TURNS HIM OVER BEFORE LOCKING IN THE FULL BOSTON CRAB!
Stew-O: THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE HAIRCARE KINGS DIDN’T WANT TO HAPPEN! Xavier Williams is going after that leg of Chris Elite with this Boston crab submission, and now Chris is in a lot of trouble! Chris is quickly trying to pull himself towards the ropes, and to his advantage he’s not too far away, but it can’t feel like that when his leg is in as much pain as it’s probably in right now! Harlow and Xavier have always been very skilled and they knew heading into this match that they’d have to target that leg even if they would prefer these two at one hundred percent, and now they’re doing exactly that!
Jake Mercer: Chris Elite manages to get his hand on the bottom rope which forces Xavier Williams to let go of the hold, BUT XAVIER GRABS ONTO CHRIS’ BAD LEG AND PULLS HIM AWAY FROM THE ROPES! XAVIER LOOKING FOR ANOTHER SUBMISSION, BUT CHRIS IS ABLE TO KICK XAVIER OFF OF HIM! Chris Elite quickly using the ropes to pull himself back up, AND NOW XAVIER WILLIAMS CHARGES TOWARDS HIM- BUT CHRIS DROPS DOWN AND PULLS THE TOP ROPE DOWN, CAUSING XAVIER TO GO OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Flannery McCoy: Xavier has experience of his own so he was able to land right on his feet, BUT AS SOON AS CHRIS GETS BACK UP HE PULLS HIMSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE, DELIVERING A CORKSCREW CROSSBODY TO THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPION! THE CROWD SEEMS TO LOVE WHAT THEY’RE SEEING RIGHT NOW! Chris Elite sends Xavier Williams back into the ring before climbing up onto the apron, and now Chris is waiting for Xavier to get back to his feet! Xavier is slowly managing to do just that, AND NOW CHRIS GOES FOR A SPRINGBOARD-
Stew-O: XAVIER JUST RAN TO THE ROPES AND GRABBED CHRIS BEFORE HE COULD BOUNCE OFF OF THEM! XAVIER JUST PULLED CHRIS OFF OF THE ROPES INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY, AND NOW XAVIER CLEARLY HAS SOMETHING IN MIND, BUT CHRIS ELITE IS DELIVERING ELBOWS TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD OF XAVIER, AND NOW CHRIS IS ABLE TO SLIP BEHIND XAVIER! Xavier is quickly able to turn around, AND NOW XAVIER TRIES TO KICK CHRIS’ LEG OUT FROM UNDER HIM, BUT CHRIS WAS ABLE TO CATCH XAVIER’S LEG! CHRIS NOW SPINNING XAVIER AROUND, AND HE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A JUMPING ENZUIGIRI!
Jake Mercer: Chris Elite gets back up, AND NOW HE LIFTS XAVIER WILLIAMS UP INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION- BUT XAVIER IS ABLE TO GO OVER CHRIS’ BACK AND DOWN INTO A SUNSET FLIP, WHICH XAVIER RELEASES IMMEDIATELY BEFORE GRABBING ONTO CHRIS’ LEG! XAVIER QUICKLY TURNING CHRIS OVER ONTO HIS STOMACH, BEFORE LOCKING IN THE SINGLE LEG BOSTON CRAB! AMAZING COUNTER BY XAVIER WILLIAMS, WHO ONCE AGAIN IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT LEG INJURY OF CHRIS ELITE! XAVIER IS GRADUALLY PULLING CHRIS CLOSER TO HE AND HARLOW’S CORNER, AND THAT’S NOT GOOD FOR CHRIS!
Stew-O: Chris Elite manages to power himself over onto his back, AND HE KICKS XAVIER INTO THE CORNER, BUT THAT JUST ALLOWS HARLOW TO TAG HERSELF IN, AND AS SOON AS CHRIS ELITE GETS BACK UP HE’S MET WITH A CHOP BLOCK BY REICHERT! Jake Smith is holding his hand out and yelling for Chris Elite to tag him in, but I just don’t think that’s happening! Harlow Reichert is in control now, AND SHE GRABS CHRIS’ LEG BEFORE LOCKING HIM IN A KNEEBAR SUBMISSION! THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS HAVE BEEN ON TOP OF THIS LEG INJURY EVER SINCE CHRIS MADE HIS WAY INTO THE MATCH, BUT CHRIS REFUSES TO LET THAT GET TO HIM AS HE IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TRYING TO PUNCH HARLOW AND FREE HIMSELF!
Jake Mercer: Chris isn’t having any luck connecting with these swings, BUT HE’S ABLE TO ROLL HIMSELF AND HARLOW TO THE SIDE, ALLOWING HIM TO GRAB ONTO THE ROPES! Chris has had to rely on these ropes a lot. Getting out of submissions like those are already difficult, and they must be so much worse when you’re dealing with an injury like Chris is! Harlow Reichert lets go of the submission before trying to pull Chris back up to his feet- but Chris shoves Harlow away from her, BEFORE RUNNING AFTER HARLOW AND- WAIT! HARLOW NEARLY CAUGHT CHRIS WITH A CLOTHESLINE BUT CHRIS DUCKED UNDER IT, AND AS SOON AS HARLOW TURNS AROUND SHE’S MET WITH THE HEADSHOT! WHAT A PELE KICK BY CHRIS ELITE!
Flannery McCoy: Both Elitists are down, and now Chris is trying to make it towards his corner to tag in Jake Smith, BUT HARLOW MANAGES TO GRAB CHRIS BY THE LEG! Harlow and Xavier know that if they keep targeting that leg with Chris Elite in the match it’s only a matter of time until they have this match won, so they can’t let Chris tag out here! Chris Elite turns his attention towards Harlow, AND NOW CHRIS KICKS HARLOW OFF OF HIM! Both Elitists quickly get back to their feet, AND CHRIS CHARGES RIGHT AT HARLOW!
Stew-O: BUT HARLOW HAD CHRIS SCOUTED, AND SHE JUMPS UP BEFORE PULLING CHRIS DOWN INTO THE “ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF SOLITUDE”!!! THE TRIANGLE CHOKE IS LOCKED IN!! THE TRIANGLE CHOKE IS LOCKED IN ON CHRIS ELITE, AND CHRIS MIGHT NOT HAVE ANYWHERE TO GO! CHRIS ELITE IS STRUGGLING WITH THIS TRIANGLE CHOKE, AND THIS MIGHT JUST BE IT FOR THE HAIRCARE KINGS! THIS MATCH MIGHT BE COMING TO AN END VERY SOON!
Jake Mercer: CHRIS ELITE IS TRYING TO PULL HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S ABLE TO GET HIMSELF UP TO ONE FOOT, BUT HE’S STRUGGLING WITH THE INJURED LEG! IT WAS ALREADY HURT COMING INTO THIS MATCH, BUT HARLOW AND XAVIER HAVE ONLY MADE THINGS WORSE! CHRIS ELITE IS NOT IN GOOD SHAPE HERE, AND AT THIS RATE THOSE TITLES MIGHT NOT BE GOING ANYWHERE! CHRIS ELITE CAN’T MAKE HIS WAY OUT OF THE SUBMISSION, THIS REALLY MIGHT BE IT!
Flannery McCoy: CHRIS ELITE IS STARTING TO FADE! JAKE SMITH IS SCREAMING OUT TO CHRIS, BUT IT MIGHT ALL BE FOR NOTHING, BECAUSE CHRIS ELITE IS SLOWLY LOSING THE FIGHT HE HAD WHEN HE FIRST ENTERED THIS MATCH! HARLOW AND XAVIER HAVE RELIED HEAVILY ON SUBMISSION HOLDS LIKE THIS TONIGHT, BUT YOU CAN’T BLAME THEM FOR THAT BECAUSE IT’S CLEARLY WORKING! Chris Elite and Jake Smith fought hard at Road to Redemption, and in the end that might’ve just cost them the Unified Tag Team Championships! I don’t blame them for trying to end the year as double Champion, but their plans might have backfired completely!
Stew-O: WAIT WAIT WAIT! CHRIS ELITE JUST POWERED HIMSELF UP TO BOTH FEET, AND HE PULLS HARLOW REICHERT OFF OF THE GROUND BEFORE DROPPING HER WITH A SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! CHRIS ISN’T EVEN ABLE TO GO FOR THE COVER AS HE FALLS BACK DOWN ONTO THE MAT, BUT JUST LIKE THAT CHRIS WAS ABLE TO KEEP THIS MATCH ALIVE FOR THE HAIRCARE KINGS, AND SAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF THEM LEAVING THIS MATCH AS THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! JAKE SMITH STILL HAS HIS ARM OUT, AND HE’S YELLING OUT AT CHRIS, TRYING TO GET CHRIS TO TAG HIM IN!
Jake Mercer: CHRIS ELITE IS SLOWLY CRAWLING TOWARDS THE CORNER, MEANWHILE HARLOW REICHERT IS ONLY JUST STARTING TO STIR! CHRIS ELITE IS GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE HAIRCARE KINGS CORNER, MEANWHILE THE CROWD IS ACTUALLY CHEERING HIM ON!
(As Chris Elite gets close to his corner, Harlow Reichert slowly begins to get back up, noticing Chris looking for the tag.)
Jake Mercer: CHRIS ELITE JUMPS OUT FOR THE TAG!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT HARLOW REICHERT JUMPS OUT TO GRAB CHRIS!
*TAG!*
Jake Mercer: SHE WAS TOO LATE! SHE GRABBED CHRIS TOO LATE, AND NOW CHRIS JUST TAGGED JAKE SMITH BACK INTO THIS MATCH!
Flannery McCoy: HARLOW REICHERT IS UP, BUT JAKE TAKES HER DOWN WITH A LARIAT! JAKE NOW QUICKLY RUNNING THE ROPES AS HARLOW GETS BACK UP, AND NOW JAKE DELIVERS A BICYCLE KICK! HARLOW TURNING AND HOLDING HER JAW, AND NOW JAKE GRABS HARLOW FROM BEHIND BEFORE LIFTING HER UP FOR A BACK SUPLEX- WHICH HARLOW IS ABLE TO AVOID AS SHE FLIPS OUT OF IT ONTO HER FEET! JAKE SMITH TURNS AROUND, AND NOW HARLOW KICKS JAKE IN THE MIDSECTION! HARLOW GRABS JAKE IN A FRONT FACELOCK BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP INTO A SUPLEX POSITION-
Stew-O: BACKSTABBER! JAKE SMITH JUST TURNED BEHIND HARLOW BEFORE DROPPING DOWN AND CONNECTING WITH A BACKSTABBER! JAKE SMITH NOW WITH THE COVER ON HARLOW REICHERT, AND THIS MIGHT JUST BE IT!
ONE!
TWO!!
Stew-O: HARLOW REICHERT GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Harlow Reichert is still in this match, but Jake Smith isn’t letting up, and instead he climbs up to the middle rope, yelling at Harlow and telling her to get back up! Jake has something in mind, and while the Haircare Kings may be fighting an uphill battle right now, it looks like they have the upper hand!
Jake Mercer: HELL ABOVE- NO! JAKE JUMPED OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE LOOKING FOR HELL ABOVE, BUT AS SOON AS HE GRABBED ONTO HARLOW, HARLOW RAN INTO THE CORNER, PUSHING JAKE BACK FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! Both Elitists come stumbling out of the corner, AND NOW HARLOW GRABS JAKE BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP, AND NOW HARLOW DELIVERS A SPINNING FALCON ARROW!! THE FALCON ARROW CONNECTS, AND NOW HARLOW HOOKS THE LEG TO RETAIN THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!
ONE!
TWO!!
T-
Jake Mercer: JAKE KICKS OUT! JAKE MANAGED TO KICK OUT AND KEEP THIS MATCH ALIVE! The Haircare Kings are still in this!
Flannery McCoy: Harlow Reichert pulls Jake towards the corner and goes for the tag, and now Xavier Williams is back in! Harlow now holding Jake up as Xavier enters the ring, AND XAVIER TAKES JAKE DOWN WITH A DISCUS LARIAT, NEARLY TURNING THE MAN INSIDE OUT! Xavier Williams pulling Jake back up, AND HE LIFTS JAKE UP BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO THE MAT WITH A SPINNING LIFT REVERSE DDT! XAVIER WILLIAMS NOW WITH THE COVER ON JAKE!
ONE!
TWO!!
TH-
Flannery McCoy: AND JAKE GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Xavier bringing Jake back towards his teams corner, AND XAVIER CONNECTS WITH A SERIES OF BOOTS TO THE FACE, BEFORE TAGGING HARLOW BACK INTO THE MATCH!
Stew-O: Jake is still in a seated position inside of the corner, AND NOW HARLOW BOUNCES OFF OF THE ROPES BEFORE HITTING JAKE WITH A RUNNING BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! HARLOW NOW DRAGGING JAKE OUT OF THE CORNER, AND HARLOW TAGS XAVIER BACK INTO THE MATCH! HARLOW NOW PULLING JAKE UP BEFORE DELIVERING A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX, AND HARLOW KEEPS JAKE THERE AS XAVIER WILLIAMS CLIMBS UP TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! XAVIER WILLIAMS DIVES OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AS HARLOW MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!
Jake Mercer: 450 SPLASH!!! THE 450 SPLASH CONNECTS ON JAKE SMITH, AND TAG TEAM OFFENSE LIKE THIS IS EXACTLY WHY THESE TWO HAVE BEEN THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS FOR SO LONG! XAVIER WILLIAMS GOES FOR THE COVER, AND THAT’S GOTTA BE IT! THOSE TITLES AREN’T CHANGING HANDS!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-
Jake Mercer: WHAT!? JAKE SMITH BARELY POPS THE SHOULDER UP! JAKE GETS HIS SHOULDER OFF OF THE MAT, AND THIS MATCH CONTINUES! XAVIER WILLIAMS LOOKS SURPRISED, BUT HE’S NOT TAKING HIS FOCUS OFF OF THIS MATCH! He and Harlow’s fantastic tag team work is what got them those Championships, and I don’t think they plan to lose just yet!
Flannery McCoy: Xavier and Harlow have been on top of this match for the past few moments, and this is where we might have to start questioning if this was the right stage for Chris Elite and Jake Smith! Harlow and Xavier already had the tag team experience that these two don’t, but Chris is also the most injured Elitist in this match, and that injury has been exploited so much already! Jake and Chris are being dismantled tonight, and unless they’re able to somehow turn things around entirely, I don’t know how they can win this!
Stew-O: Xavier slowly drags Jake back up, AND NOW XAVIER SCOOPS JAKE UP INTO HIS ARMS- BUT JAKE STARTS ELBOWING THE SIDE OF XAVIER’S HEAD DESPERATELY, TRYING TO GET XAVIER TO LET GO OF HIM! JAKE REPEATEDLY HITS THOSE HARD HITTING ELBOWS, AND FINALLY XAVIER LETS GO OF HIM, ALLOWING JAKE TO GET DOWN TO HIS FEET AND STUMBLE BACK INTO HIS CORNER!
*TAG!*
Stew-O: CHRIS JUST TAGGED HIMSELF BACK IN AS XAVIER CHARGES AT JAKE, AND JAKE GETS THE BOOT UP, CONNECTING WITH XAVIER’S JAW!
Jake Mercer: JAKE SMITH NOW RUNNING THE ROPES AS CHRIS ELITE ENTERS THE RING, AND NOW JAKE HITS XAVIER WILLIAMS WITH A RUNNING BICYCLE KICK AS CHRIS GRABS XAVIER FROM BEHIND, DELIVERING A RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE! MATA MATA CONNECTS, AND XAVIER WILLIAMS IS DOWN! CHRIS ELITE DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-
Jake Mercer: AND SOMEHOW IT’S STILL NOT ENOUGH TO GET THE JOB DONE! SOMEHOW XAVIER WILLIAMS JUST BARELY MANAGED TO GET THE SHOULDER UP! CHRIS ELITE’S LEG IS STILL HURT, AND HE HAD TO USE IT JUST TO DELIVER THAT KNEE! He clearly thought that it was a worthwhile sacrifice if the match could end, but somehow Xavier managed to get his shoulder off the mat before three!
Flannery McCoy: Chris Elite slowly uses the ropes to pull himself up, and he has no other choice really but to tag Jake Smith back into the match! Jake knows this and he has no problem with it as he re-enters the ring, and it looks like these two have an idea in mind! Jake Smith now pulling Xavier up, AND HE DELIVERS AN ATOMIC DROP AS CHRIS ELITE RUNS THE ROPES, AND CHRIS ELITE GOES FOR A- WAIT NO! XAVIER WILLIAMS DUCKS UNDER THE LARIAT, CAUSING CHRIS TO ACCIDENTALLY HIT JAKE INSTEAD!
Stew-O: CHRIS ELITE QUICKLY LOOKS AT JAKE BEFORE TURNING TO XAVIER, AND XAVIER KICKS CHRIS’ LEG, DROPPING CHRIS DOWN TO A KNEE, BEFORE HITTING CHRIS WITH A SUPERKICK! KING’S FALL CONNECTS, AND WHILE CHRIS ELITE WASN’T THE LEGAL MAN, HE WAS DEFINITELY TAKEN OUT OF THIS MATCH AS HE BEGINS TO ROLL OUT TO THE RING APRON, LEAVING JAKE SMITH AND XAVIER WILLIAMS INSIDE OF THE RING TO CONTINUE THIS MATCH ON THEIR OWN! Xavier now quickly pulling Jake up following that clothesline, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE HAS SOMETHING BIG IN MIND!
Jake Mercer: XAVIER WILLIAMS LIFTS JAKE BEFORE RUNNING INTO HE AND HARLOW’S CORNER, AND XAVIER CONNECTS WITH A BUCKLE BOMB! XAVIER NOW WITH THE TAG TO HARLOW REICHERT AS JAKE DROPS DOWN TO A SEATED POSITION IN THE CORNER! HARLOW REICHERT NOW BACKING UP, AND SHE CHARGES IN BEFORE HITTING JAKE WITH A RUNNING CANNONBALL SENTON! Once again the Unified Tag Team Champions managed to take control of this one, and something tells me that Harlow Reichert sees the end coming up! Harlow’s backing into the corner as Jake slowly crawls out of the corner, and this can’t be good!
Flannery McCoy: Jake slowly makes it back to his feet, AND NOW HARLOW RUSHES IN FOR THE LES MISÉRABLES- BUT JAKE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! JAKE SMITH ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AS HE QUICKLY BACKPEDALS INTO HIS CORNER! CHRIS IS ONLY JUST PULLING HIMSELF BACK UP THOUGH, SO JAKE CAN’T GET THE TAG JUST YET! HARLOW REICHERT NOW RUNNING IN, AND HARLOW WAS LOOKING FOR A CLOTHESLINE IN THE CORNER, BUT JAKE JUST BARELY MANAGED TO DUCK UNDER IT, KICKING HARLOW IN THE MIDSECTION AS SOON AS SHE TURNED AROUND!
Stew-O: CHRIS ELITE IS BACK UP, AND NOW JAKE TAGS HIM IN! CHRIS ELITE GETS BACK INTO THE RING, AND HE IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TO STOMP AWAY AT HARLOW REICHERT, USING HIS GOOD LEG TO DELIVER THESE VICIOUS STOMPS! Chris Elite now pulling Harlow out of the corner, AND HE LIFTS HARLOW UP ONTO HIS SHOULDER BEFORE TURNING TO ONE OF THE EMPTY CORNERS! CHRIS NOW LOOKING FOR THE “44 BULLDOG”- BUT HARLOW SLIPS BEHIND CHRIS BEFORE RUNNING IN, DELIVERING A CHOP BLOCK, THIS TIME TO THE BACK OF CHRIS’ KNEE! HARLOW JUST BARELY ESCAPED THE 44 BULLDOG, AND NOW ONCE AGAIN SHE’S STOPPED CHRIS FROM GETTING THE UPPER HAND!
Jake Mercer: Harlow Reichert now grabbing Chris, AND I THINK HARLOW WAS TRYING TO TAKE CHRIS DOWN TO THE MAT, BUT CHRIS LANDS A PUNCH TO THE STOMACH! Chris now grabbing Harlow, AND I THINK CHRIS WAS LOOKING FOR A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX, BUT HARLOW LANDS AN ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE NECK! CHRIS IS ABLE TO POWER THROUGH ANYWAY- BUT HIS LEG IS WAY TOO DAMAGED TO GET HARLOW ALL THE WAY OVER HIS HEAD! HARLOW IS ABLE TO BRING HERSELF BACK DOWN TO HER FEET, AND IN THE PROCESS SHE TAKES CHRIS DOWN WITH A DDT! HARLOW NOW WITH THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!!
THR-
Jake Mercer: CHRIS ELITE KICKS OUT!!
Flannery McCoy: Harlow Reichert doesn’t finish there, though! Harlow pulls Chris back up, AND NOW SHE LIFTS CHRIS UP INTO A TORTURE RACK POSITION, AND I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHAT THIS USUALLY SETS UP! HARLOW IS LOOKING FOR HARLOW’S INFERNO!
Stew-O: YEAH, BUT CHRIS DOESN’T LET HER EASILY CONNECT WITH IT! CHRIS MANAGES TO LAND AN ATTACK TO HARLOW’S HEAD, AND HE DROPS BACK DOWN TO HIS FEET BEFORE-
Jake Mercer: His leg! Chris managed to land on his feet, but his leg just gave out, AND THAT GAVE HARLOW THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE CHRIS OUT WITH A NASTY ELBOW STRIKE! Chris Elite tried to escape Harlow’s Inferno, but his leg is just not in good condition right now!
Flannery McCoy: Harlow drags Chris to the corner before tagging Xavier Williams into this one, and now Xavier drops down out to ringside before pulling Chris’ hurt leg out under the bottom rope, AND SLAMMING IT INTO THE RING POST! Xavier Williams sliding back into the ring, and these two are doing as much damage as they can to Chris’ leg! If this continues I’ll be surprised if Chris can even walk out of this match!
Stew-O: Xavier Williams now dragging Chris up to his feet, AND HE GETS CHRIS IN A DOUBLE UNDERHOOK- BUT CHRIS QUICKLY MANAGES TO FREE ONE OF HIS ARMS, AND HE BEGINS TO REPEATEDLY PUNCH XAVIER IN THE SIDE, FORCING XAVIER TO RELEASE HIM! CHRIS ELITE PUSHES XAVIER AWAY, AND NOW CHRIS SWINGS AT XAVIER- JUST FOR XAVIER TO DUCK DOWN AND LIFT CHRIS UP INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY! XAVIER HAS CHRIS UP, AND NOW HE’S LOOKING FOR-
Jake Mercer: CHRIS SLIPS BEHIND XAVIER! HIS LEG IS STILL HURTING BUT CHRIS IS ABLE TO BACKPEDAL INTO HIS CORNER, ALLOWING JAKE TO QUICKLY TAG HIMSELF IN! JAKE QUICKLY ENTERS THE RING, AND AS XAVIER CHARGES IN HE’S MET WITH A SIDE ELBOW! JAKE SMITH IS ON THE OFFENSIVE NOW AS HE BEGINS TO DELIVER LEFTS AND RIGHTS, BUT NOW XAVIER WILLIAMS IS ABLE TO COUNTER WITH A FOREARM STRIKE OF HIS OWN! NOW JAKE COUNTERS WITH A FOREARM! NOW XAVIER! NOW JAKE! BOTH MEN ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH, AND IT LOOKS LIKE JAKE IS STARTING TO GET THE UPPER HAND HERE AS HE KICKS XAVIER IN THE MIDSECTION BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP FOR-
Flannery McCoy: END OF HEARTACHE!!! XAVIER WILLIAMS MANAGED TO SLIP BEHIND JAKE, AND HE JUST JUMPED UP BEFORE GRABBING JAKE AND PULLING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH THE END OF HEARTACHE! XAVIER WILLIAMS NOW WITH THE COVER ON JAKE, AND THIS HAS TO BE IT! THERE’S NO WAY THIS ISN’T THE END!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!-
Flannery McCoy: HOW!?!? HOW DID JAKE JUST KICK OUT!?!? THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MOVES XAVIER WILLIAMS HAS IN HIS ARSENAL! THAT WAS THE END OF HEARTACHE HE JUST HIT, AND SOMEHOW JAKE SMITH IS STILL ALIVE!
Stew-O: This has been such a tough match for the Haircare Kings. Chris has been injured and every single time he’s gotten in the ring, the Champions have found a way to attack that injury. This has left Jake with the task of trying to keep this match alive for the Haircare Kings’ sake, and somehow he’s doing exactly that! These two have definitely proven a lot of people wrong about how they’d operate as a team, but what would it matter if Xavier and Harlow are just able to defeat them tonight and ruin their goal of becoming Unified Tag Team Champions?
Flannery McCoy: Xavier Williams slowly rolls out to the ring apron, and it looks like he has something on his mind, something that might just be able to bring this match to an end! This has been very close and competitive, but with the way things are looking right now, the Haircare Kings’ chances of becoming Champions to end the year might have just been cut short! Jake Smith is slowly making it back up onto his feet, AND NOW XAVIER GOES FOR THE SPRINGBOARD VERSION OF ASHES OF THE PHOENIX! THE SPRINGBOARD CUTTER-
Stew-O: DOESN’T CONNECT!!! THE SPRINGBOARD CUTTER DOESN’T CONNECT! JAKE JUST BARELY MANAGED TO GRAB ONTO XAVIER BEFORE THE MOVE COULD CONNECT, AND NOW JAKE SHOVES XAVIER INTO HARLOW, CAUSING XAVIER TO ACCIDENTALLY KNOCK HARLOW OFF OF THE RING APRON!
(The crowd cheers as Harlow’s knocked off the ring apron, and Xavier quickly looks to make sure Harlow is okay. Xavier turns back around to not lose focus on the match, but..)
Stew-O: JAKE SMITH WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! JAKE JUST PULLED XAVIER WILLIAMS INTO A FRONT FACELOCK, AND NOW HE DELIVERS THE FAMOUS LAST WORDS!!!! FAMOUS LAST WORDS CONNECTS, BUT JAKE ISN’T FINISHED!
(Jake pulls Xavier Williams towards the Haircare Kings’ corner, tagging in Chris Elite.)
Jake Mercer: JAKE JUST TAGGED IN CHRIS, AND I DON’T REALLY KNOW WHAT HE’S THINKING HERE! Jake is my name twin and all, but he had the match won! He just hit Xavier with the Famous Last Words, and instead of going for the cover, he just tagged in the guy that only has one good leg! I don’t know if that was the smartest idea, not when these two were this close to getting the job done and putting this match away!
Flannery McCoy: Chris Elite is slowly climbing up to the top rope, and clearly this was done for a reason! Xavier Williams is still down, AND NOW CHRIS IS PERCHED UP ON THE TOP ROPE!
Stew-O: AIMIN FOR THE MOON!!!! AIMIN FOR THE MOON CONNECTS ON XAVIER WILLIAMS!!! CHRIS ELITE PUT EVERYTHING HE HAD LEFT TOWARDS HITTING THAT SPIRAL TAP, AND IT ACTUALLY CONNECTED! XAVIER WILLIAMS WAS JUST HIT WITH TWO OF THE BIGGEST MOVES IN JAKE AND CHRIS’ ARSENALS BACK TO BACK, AND NOW CHRIS ELITE IS GOING FOR THE COVER TO PUT THIS MATCH AWAY, ALL WHILE JAKE STAYS IN THE RING TO MAKE SURE THE PIN CAN’T BE BROKEN UP!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stephie Love: Here are your winners…. ANNNDDDDD THE NEEEWWWWWWWWWW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS……. JAKE SMITH AND CHRIS ELITE, THE HAIIIIRRRRRRCCAAAAAARRREEEEE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGS!!!!!!
Stew-O: THEY DID IT!!! JAKE SMITH AND CHRIS ELITE HAVE DETHRONED HARLOW REICHERT AND XAVIER WILLIAMS! WE HAVE NEW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!
Jake Mercer: I KNEW IT! I KNEW MY NAME TWIN WOULD GET THE JOB DONE! IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE STARS, THESE TWO WERE DESTINED TO BECOME CHAMPIONS ONCE THEY JOINED FORCES, AND NOW THE HAIRCARE KINGS HAVE DONE IT, EVEN WITH CHRIS’ INJURED LEG :blessed: !!!!
Flannery McCoy: :comeagain: You JUST said tonight that Harlow and Xavier would win. You even trashed on the Haircare Kings’ name a few weeks ago!
Jake Mercer: I have no memory of that.
Stew-O: These two have come a very long way together, and these two deserve all the credit in the world for what they were able to accomplish tonight!
Flannery McCoy: Congratulations to Jake Smith and Chris Elite, the new Unified Tag Team Champions!
(‘Shake It’ begins to play, and the crowd actually begins cheering loudly as Jake Smith helps Chris Elite to get back up to his feet. Chris is limping, especially now that the match is over, but they both take their Unified Tag Team Championships from the referee, before having their hands raised. The crowd continues to cheer for Jake and Chris, who have clearly made themselves some new fans with their performance tonight, and the two Elitists have smiles on their faces as they hold their first Championships since 2020 and 2018 respectively. They hold their titles up one more time as ‘Shake It’ continues to play, and from there the camera begins to fade elsewhere.)
( Commercial break for Flexeril, ZQuil, and Arbor Mist wine. Things you should NOT take together. )
( Once again the camera cuts to the stage as we return and Sabina is behind the podium. She looks extremely excited. )
Sabina: Alright. It’s time to give out the first of the Elitist of the Year awards. Here are your nominees for Female Elitist of the Year!!!!
(The camera transitions to a graphic saying ‘Female Elitist of the Year’ along with the nominees:
- Darcy May Morgan
- Ms. Extreme
- Kassidy Heart
- Minerva
- Dr. Bethany Blue
- Miku Sakai
Then, the camera cuts back to Sabina, who has a large smile on her face and an envelope in her hands. )
Sabina: And your winner… the 2021 FEMALE ELITIST OF THE YEAR… SHE IS THE REIGNING… THE DEFENDING… ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… ‘THE MAULER’ KASSIDY HEART!!!!
( ‘Monster’ by Kayne West begins to play as the crowd comes unglued for their hometown girl. She may be hated all over the world, but in Sydney, Australia, Kassidy Heart is always going to be loved and adored. The champion walks out with a large smile on her face and for once, it’s not a smile that is dripping with arrogance. She looks overjoyed to be back home and in front of her friends and family, and she can’t herself. She takes a bow as she steps up to the podium and joins Sabina. Sabina has to wait a moment for the crowd noise to die down, before she begins speaking into the microphone. )
Sabina: Congratulations on winning Female Elitist of the Year for the second time, Kass. I also want to let you know that you’ve also won Answers World Champion of the Year, not one… but TWO Match of the Year Awards for your championship defenses against Jamie O’Hara and Consuela Rose Ava respectively, and for the third time, you are the EAW Female Promoer of the Year! That’s amazing!
( Kassidy doesn’t look shocked that she nearly cleaned house when it came to the awards, even sharing in Extreme Moment of the Year with Xander Payne. She takes her EOTY trophy from Sabina and fixes the microphone on the podium. )
Kassidy Heart: I mean… is anyone really surprised? Who the fuck else was going to win any of this?
( So much for being humble and showing a little humility in front of her hometown crowd. )
Kassidy Heart: Quite frankly, the odds of anyone ever recreating the year I had this year are slim to none, let alone the thought of anyone ever surpassing it. I have literally done NOTHING but make history this year every single time I’ve stepped through the ropes and put on performances inside that ring that will never be forgotten. All the motherfuckers who have tried to undermine and undercut me have found out the hard way the fucking with the King and coming for her crown isn’t something that will ever end well for them. I’ve destroyed Hall of Famers this year. I have reduced your favorites to absolutely fucking nothing and made them look like they belong in the PC. I have upped my level to one so high that no one can even see me when I’m sitting quietly at the top of the mountain, looking down at all the haters and the pretenders. Your tears amuse me. Your bitterness motivates me. Your unwillingness to give credit where it is due does NOTHING but make me want to reign as the Answers World Champion forever. And at this point, is that really a farfetched thought?
( Kassidy merely shrugs. )
Kassidy Heart: Who’s going to stop me? I’ve beaten everyone on Showdown that is even remotely worth my time and some scrubs that aren’t. While I don’t know what 2022 is going to bring, other than more chances for you all to see Kass conquer the world, I do know that tonight I’m going to compete in front of my parents, my family, and the people who have supported me from day one. My journey into this business was an interesting one. I can fucking promise all of you that I never set out to become a wrestler, that’s for sure. But being around ringside, watching the action, and seeing the things people were actually capable of me? That got to me. That made me want to try. That made me want to learn this sport, perfect my craft, and make a name for myself, and I did exactly that. There is no bigger name in this sport than Kassidy Heart. There is no one on this Earth who’s been able to achieve and maintain the level of excellence that I have, and I have absolutely no reason to believe that there is anyone out who can. I’ve truly become the mark of excellence, the standard bearer, and the bar, and I couldn’t be more proud of myself. This has been an absolute dream year for me, and that’s saying a lot. I’ve had many wonderful moments here in EAW, and I’ll be the first to admit that I haven’t always appreciated all of them. But you live, you learn, and I have fucking savored every single minute of being your King of Elite and your Answers World Champion. I have revelled in all of my victories this season, including the two that just won me two match of the year awards. Jamie O’Hara and Consuela Rose Ava are opponents I will never forget because what we did inside the ring at Pain for Pride and Grand Rampage respectively was special. If this year has shown you all anything, it’s that Kassidy Heart is the best professional wrestler in the world, and she’s just getting started.
( Now the smile on Kass’ face turns to one of arrogance. )
Kassidy Heart: Tonight, I cap off what has been a dream season competing alongside my husband for the first time, and if there is anyone who deserves these awards as much as I do, it would be him. I love you, Ryan, and thank you for everything. Every single day you are teaching to be better and I thank you for that. To my parents, my children, Lily and Justin… I love you guys too. And Australia, thank you for welcoming me back home. There’s truly no place like it. AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!
Crowd: OI! OI! OI!
( ‘Monster’ by Kayne West once again hits the PA system and Kass raises her EOTY trophy in the air. No doubt the rest of her hardware is backstage somewhere, but she’s got the most important award in her hands at the moment. Love her or hate her, Kassidy Heart is a woman who does work hard. Her trophy is well earned, and no doubt that sometime in the future, there will be more coming her way. )
( An Aussie Summer Christmas Spectacular fades to break. )
(Promotional ad for King of Elite 2022.)
(The camera fades back to the podium for the final time tonight, and the crowd cheers as Sabina is once again seen standing at the podium. Sabina has a smile on her face, and as the crowd’s cheers quiet down, Sabina begins to speak.)
Sabina: Ladies and gentlemen, as this show comes to a close and we approach our main event for the night, it’s time to make our final award announcement, and I’m sure you’ve all been waiting for this! It’s time for the “Male Elitist of the Year” award! Here are the nominees…
(Just like with the other awards announced, a graphic appears on the screen. This one says “Male Elitist of the Year”, and the nominees are shown:
– Drake King
– Visual Prophet
– Xander Payne
– Malcolm Jones
– Jack Ripley
– SOSA Henderson
– Adam Lucas)
(The camera fades back to Sabina on the podium as the crowd continues to cheer loudly, and just like with all of the other announced awards, Sabina is holding an envelope in her hand, saying “Male Elitist of the Year”. Sabina opens the envelope, reading it to herself before looking back at the crowd and beginning to speak.)
Sabina: And the winner of 2021’s “Male Elitist of the Year” Award… DRAKE KING!!!
(Immediately the crowd begins booing as loud as possible. Basically everyone in the arena is booing, and the boos only grow louder once ‘Cold War’ by Hans Zimmer hits. Drake King slowly begins to walk out to the stage, and it’s clear the fans hate his guts. Sabina hands him his “Male Elitist of the Year” award, his second one in two years, and Drake just looks at it.)
Sabina: Drake, congratulations on becoming the Male Elitist of Year for the second time in your career. I’d also like to mention that you also won “EAW Champion of the Year”, as well as “Male Match of the Year” with your match against Justin Windgate at Bloodsport, and “Feud of the Year” with New Eden’s feud against Captain Charisma, and the entirety of Voltage.
(At the mention of New Eden’s name, Drake just shakes his head. It’s there that he steps up to the podium, before beginning to speak into the microphone.)
Drake King: Before I even say anything about this award, I really just want to talk about New Eden.. Because that was supposed to be a unit, right? As in, three people that were always meant to be on the same page. Three people that DID NOT go behind each other’s backs just to make our own jobs harder for us. Three people that actually had each other’s backs. That’s what New Eden was supposed to be, right? I wouldn’t know after Road to Redemption, because Minerva went and destroyed everything we built. Minerva killed New Eden, and for some reason Myles just went and followed her lead instead of doing the right thing.
(The crowd just begins booing loudly once again, but Drake ignores it as he continues.)
Drake King: Minerva has done nothing these past few weeks but go behind my back. Week after week, all over something that she KNOWS shouldn’t have happened. We had the power to cancel the Extreme Elimination Chamber, a match that never needed to happen, and what does Minerva do? Go behind my back and bring it back. Minerva was insolent, so at Road to Redemption I did what anyone in their right mind would do. All actions have a consequence, and when you make a mistake as severe as the one Minerva made, you’re going to be met with a severe consequence. That’s how life works, isn’t it? You do something wrong, and you’re punished for it. That’s what happened at Road to Redemption, and these two actually allowed New Eden to die over something so stupid. Minerva should’ve just taken it. She should’ve just taken her beating and accepted that she did the wrong thing. She should’ve accepted the fact that she never should have reinstated the Extreme Elimination Chamber, and Myles should’ve accepted Minerva’s punishment. Myles should’ve understood why I did what I did. He should’ve understood it more than anybody.
Drake King: I’m so disappointed in Myles. I really thought he was better than this. Back in February, it was Myles that helped start the whole “New Eden” idea, but overtime things changed, and they changed for the worse. Myles was clearly brainwashed by Minerva overtime, and now things have gone out of control, all because of these two. It’s sad, really. Instead of making a rational decision, instead of accepting the fact that Minerva messed up, Myles chose to attack ME. Myles has stepped out of line, and now I have to clean up the mess those two made. Now I have to do something, because the two people I trusted the most for the past year couldn’t accept that they were wrong. That Extreme Elimination Chamber shouldn’t have happened. They messed up, and after the match was over, Myles went and messed up again.
Drake King: As for these awards..? Well I’m just going to go dump them with all of the other trinkets. I don’t have a speech to give like everyone else that won whatever awards they did. I don’t have anything to say. They don’t mean anything to me, but it’s comforting knowing that a few of these trophies won’t be awarded to anyone else. They’re useless trophies that do absolutely nothing but boost the egos of whoever’s handed them. They don’t need to be given out, and I’m glad that at least a few of them won’t be handed to just anybody.
(Drake looks down at his “Male Elitist of the Year” award one more time.)
Drake King: Besides… It’s not like I wasn’t deserving of them, anyway.
(The crowd immediately begins booing even louder than before, but Drake doesn’t pay the crowd any attention. ‘Cold War’ begins to play once again as Drake holds his trophy, turning around and beginning to walk up the stage as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(The camera pans to Gina Romano inside the ring, prepared to introduce the next matchup.)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A TAG TEAM MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
(The crowd repeats: ONE FALL!)
(‘‘ULTRAnumb (Exterminated Remix)’ by Blue Stahli begins to play as the EAW audience gives an incredibly warm welcome to Cameron Ella Ava, who makes her way onto the stage with a big smile on her face. She rips her jacket off and throws it into the crowd as she dances on stage. She eagerly walks to the edge of the ramp, dressed in a red attire with gold trim, gazing out over this sold out venue from the top of the ramp.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, WRESTLING OUT OF LOS ANGELES, CALINFORNIAAAA!!! WEIGHING IN AT 140 POOOUNNDSSSSSS, CAMERONNNNNNNNN ‘THE GODESS’ ELLLLAAAAAA AVVVVAAAAAA!!!!
(The crowd cheers loudly as Cameron Ella Ava begins making her way down the ramp.)
Gavin Kirkland: You’re looking at the face of easily one of EAW’s most decorated talents ever. That could apply to most people, if not all, in this match. That just goes to show you the caliber of talent Cameron Ella Ava is both going to team with and face tonight. I mean and among those opponents is Mr. DEDEDE, who we know attacked Cameron with the ‘Equalizer’ back in 2020 and gave her a not-so sweet sendoff into her time as a new mother. But now, Cameron is back and she’s more focused than ever, she’s more committed and more dedicated than we’ve seen her in so long, which is incredible considering the standard she’d already set.
Gavin Kirkland: Not only DEDEDE, but his slut of a wife. Cameron has the chance to slap around the entire family tonight and wipe Kassidy Heart’s face with the canvas.
Deadprez: That’s very true, well, the first part, and I’m sure we’re going to see that bad blood boil over tonight because EVERYONE in this match has history with one another. These are veterans of this game, who for years have been at one another’s throats and been taking opportunities from each other. This match tonight has the infrastructure of years of stories built upon it, this match truly is 4 journeys come full circle. Incredible.
(‘Stigmata’ by Grandson replaces the sound in the arena as Theron Nikolas is welcomed to an extremely mixed-reaction. A heavy set of boos with a few cheers for Theron as he dawns on the stage with an entirely white and red attire on. Theron tilts his head upwards and sticks his arms out. Then gazing back downwards at the ramp and his eyes peer towards the ring. Theron is ready.)
Gina Romano: AND HER PARTNER! WRESTLING OUT OF ADEMUNTON, ALBERTA, CANADAAAAAA!!!! WEIGHING IN AT 224 POUNNNDSSSSS, THERONNNNNNNNNNNN NIKOLLLLLLLLASSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
(The mixed reaction flairs as Theron meaningfully walks down the ramp and keeps his eyes on Cameron Ella Ava.)
Eve: You talk about history, I mean, this man’s resume goes back further than the dinosaurs. Not to mention his history with DEDEDE and recent back and forth wars with Kassidy Heart. For months, Theron was dead set on reclaiming his Answers World Championship, but on every occasion, Kassidy HEart has shut those dreams down. Theron has a chance to hold the pen and be the author of the next chapter in their story and his chase for glory.
Gavin Kirkland: Absolutely and if there was ever a face to put with the word “wildcard” it’s Theron Nikolas. You can NEVER count him out and just when it looks like all the chips are down for Theron, he manages something magical. He’s got more desire to see the careers of Kassidy Heart and Mr. DEDEDE burn right now more than ever before and at their expense, he’ll rebuild his own. He’ll reclaim what he lost and he’ll once more reach the pinnacle of EAW. Until Theron Nikolas can call himself king and know that he set fire to the empires of so many others while getting there is when Theron Nikolas can feel normal. And even then, Theron has shown no signs of stopping or slowing down any time soon.
(Theron enters the ring and begins to stretch out ass they await the arrival of their opponents.)
( “Range Brothers” by Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem begins to play and that whips the crowd into an absolute frenzy. )
Gina Romano: AND THEIR OPPONENTS… FIRST, RESIDING AT THE RYAN ADAMS ESTATE IN SANTO DOMINGO, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC… WEIGHING IN AT 218 POUNDS… HE IS ‘THE GAWD’ MR. DEDEDE!!!!
( Mr. DEDEDE walks out and the crowd gets to their feet. Any time they get a chance to see the legendary EAW Chairman in the ring, they know it’s a special occasion and perhaps this time, it’s even more special. Mr. DEDEDE hypes up the crowd and begins to make his way down the ring with purpose. )
Gavin Kirkland: :mjcry: I will never understand how a man like that, a powerful Gawd like Mr. DEDEDE, can be married to such a cow like Kassidy Heart. He overshadows her in every single way and she will never, ever be able to live up the standard that man has set for our business.
Deadprez: Your opinion on that is subjective and if there is someone who is proud of Kassidy, it’s her husband. Mr. DEDEDE didn’t shy away from defending his wife this week and propping her up on a pedestal. It’s clear that this match means just as much to him as it does the Answers World Champion, and I talked to Mr. DEDEDE earlier today. He’s looking forward to teaming up with his wife, who first made a name for herself in this sport competing as one-half of the Jaded Hearts.
( Mr. DEDEDE doesn’t get straight into the ring. He heads to where his in-laws, Philip and Marilyn Corvington, are sat, and he greets them both. They’re each holding one of Mr. DEDEDE and Kassidy’s one-year old twins, Emogen and Jessamine. Mr. DEDEDE high fives both of his daughters, who giggle and seem excited, and then he gets into the ring. He doesn’t waste his time acknowledging Cam or Theron. He hops on the ropes, throws the horns up, and eats up the reaction he is getting. After a moment, his music fades out, and it’s replaced by ‘Monster’ by Kanye West.)
Gina Romano: AND FINALLY… FROM RIGHT HERE IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA… WEIGHING IN AT 139 POUNDS… SHE IS THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… KING KASSIDY HEART!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! NOT MY CHAMPION! NOT MY GODDAMN CHAMPION!!!
Eve: :mjlol: Like it or not, Kassidy Heart walked out of Road to Redemption… still the Answers World Champion, and what can I really say? She’s had a year for the record books, literally and figuratively, and you can’t take anything away from her. She’s gone above and beyond to defend her title and remain in the position she’s at, and someone’s going to have to find a way to take it from her. That’s really all there is to it.
( Kassidy, who is wearing brand new ring gear inspired by the Australian flag, savors the moment. Cheers are few and far between these days, and it’s certainly nice to be competing at home for a change. She heads straight to family, who greet her with hugs and well wishes, and she kisses the little cheeks of each daughter. After a moment, Kassidy climbs up the steps, pausing on the apron of the ring to pose with her Answers World Championship. Mr. DEDEDE does the gentlemanly thing and holds the ropes open for his wife. She thanks him with a kiss, and together the two stand side by side as tag team partners for the first time. Kassidy looks at Mr. DEDEDE with stars in her eyes, and he leans down to whisper in her ear as her music fades out. The referee takes the title from her as the convo is still going, and finally Kassidy nods her head. Mr. DEDEDE kisses her on the forehead and slaps her backside, deciding that he will let his wife start the match. )
Gavin Kirkland: This match truly means so much to all four of these competitors and all the chips are on the table right now! Whoever comes out with a here will be putting their best foot forward in an amazing start to 2022 and a statement victory to end 2021 and this half of their season thus far. This match is massive and it’s right now, let’s not wait one more second!
DING! DING! DING!
Gavin Kirkland: Here we go! It’s gonna be Theron Nikolas and the always revolting Kassidy Heart starting this match! Theron Nikolas carefully circles the outskirts of the ring as Kassidy stands in the center and tries to put him on the backpedal. Trying to pressure Theron back, but Theron won’t be easily deterred as he moves forward and engages Kassidy Heart in a collar and elbow-tie up! Theron tries to use a size advantage to push Kassidy back, but she manages to reverse the position and muscle Nikolas back to the corner. COME ON THERON, MAKE THIS PROSTITUTE PAY!
Deadprez: Theron is in Kassidy’s corner and before she can tag in DEDEDE, Theron uses his size and manages to push Kassidy back and get this to the center of the ring. Kassidy Heart is chomping at the bit to use her tandem-offense with her husband as Cameron Ella Ava calls for Theron to keep calm. Theron regains his composure and the two superstars meet back inside the center of the ring, this time Theron grabs the wrists and shoulder runs Kassidy to the corner. Now an Irish whip from Theron- but Heart reverses! Theron Nikolas is sent shoulder first into the turnbuckles as Kassidy comes surging in after him!
Eve: Kassidy Heart stops herself as Theron Nikolas manages to scurry out of the way and Kassidy is far too intelligent to run blindly in after him. She knows that Theron shares the same experience as she does and he’s been around the block too many times to fall for simple tricks. This is extremely high-level competition in front of us! Theron locks horns again with Kassidy, this time Kassidy forcefully pushing Theron backwards to the corner- Boom! Theron Nikolas slipped under the armpit and drove Kassidy’s head into the top turnbuckle with a reverse sto! Theron let Kassidy storm him into the corner and used her own momentum against her, brilliant!
Deadprez: Theron props Kassidy into the corner and now hurls her across the ring with a big Irish-whip! No counter this time as Theron comes in after her and smashes a forearm against her jaw! Her head whipped around like a twister behind the force of that Theron Nikolas forearm, and he grabs her arm and tries to lift her for a suplex! Theron hooks the arm and brings Kassidy Heart high into the air! Kassidy is able to drop a knee onto Theron’s head as he drops her back down and she stumbles into the turnbuckles, what wherewithal from the champion!
Gavin Kirkland: But now Theron with a lightning fast forearm again to the face of Kassidy! YES! A vicious forearm and he now drives a European uppercut into the face of Kassidy Heart! Theron Nikolas doubling up on the damage, making sure there’s no escape this time! Theron hoists the body of Kassidy Heart into the air and drops her down with a thudding vertical suplex! Theron Nikolas with a huge suplex and now a kip up after the fact! Theron just kipped up and stared directly at Mr. DEDEDE! Oh boy, do these two have some history behind them!
Eve: Boy do they ever, but look at Theron Nikolas, he’s dragging Kassidy Heart to his corner and tagging in Cameron Ella Ava.
TAG!
(The crowd cheers intensely as Cameron enters the ring eagerly.)
Gavin Kirland: This is good strategy from Theron Nikolas. This is what you love to see from an elitist like Theron, he knows how good Kassidy is and he’s had chances at both Road To Redemption and Reasonable Doubt at dethroning Kassidy Heart, all to no avail. Theron knows that it’s imperative he write the next chapter in their history and not allow himself to get caught up in the blinding chase of the Answers World Championship. Cameron Ella Ava and Theron Nikolas both inside the ring as Theron lifts up the body of Kassidy Heart and Cam drops her with a sweep of the leg! Now a nasty axe-kick from Cameron to finish the combo as Kassidy Heart clutches at her midsection!
Deadprez: Cameron Ella Ava is legal and she now tries to wrap up the leg of Kassidy Heart, perhaps trying to find a target in the Answers World Champion! Cam is looking for a knee bar as Kassidy Heart uses upkicks and big boots to the face to try and fend off the attacking Cameron Ella Ava! Kassidy manages to get back to her feet and Cameron goes for a big punch as Kassidy avoids it and now fires back with a spinning heel kick of her own that floors Cameron Ella Ava! Cameron is stunned as it’s now Kassidy who throws her back into her own corner and tags in Mr. DEDEDE!
TAG!
Eve: Here comes Mr. DEDEDE! He holds Cameron’s face in the air as Kassidy Heart nails a step-up enzuigiri right on the button! A kick landing flush on the cheek and Mr. DEDEDE scoops Cameron up and drops her with force on the canvas! A running scoop slam from DEDEDE, who now runs the ropes and comes back to the well with a corkscrew elbow drop to the chest of Cameron Ella Ava! My god, what a sequence from the team of DEDEDE and Kassidy Heart! Cameron is shocked as Mr. DEDEDE now sends Theron the same look that Nikolas shared with him earlier!
Gavin Kirkland: Cameron being dragged by DEDEDE up to her feet and she lands a right cross on the chin of ‘The Gawd’! DEDEDE now lowers his stance and returns back with two nasty right hooks to the body! Call that boy That boy not the gawd, he THE TANK! Nasty hooks to the left side of Cameron’s body and one final stinger to the midsection as that left hand shook her organs! She doubles over and stumbles around as Mr. DEDEDE bounces off the ropes and drops her with a shoulder block! She gets back up and Mr. DEDEDE comes back with yet another big shoulder block!
Deadprez: Now DEDEDE grabs a hold of the dazed Cameron and hooks her arms behind her back! Here comes ‘The Butterfly Effect’! DEDEDE tries to get her up! Cameron tries to duck and run DEDEDE’s face into the top rope as she runs her body through them, but DEDEDE lets her go and meets her again in the center of the ring! He shoots a big boot, Cam sidesteps it and drills a calf-kick into the calf of DEDEDE! One kick may not have felled him, but those kicks slice into your leg like a hot knife through butter, a few more and he’s in real trouble!
Eve: Cameron switches up the attack and goes high now, searching for a roundhouse kick that DEDEDE ducks under and now runs straight back towards Cameron, flooring her with a diving crossbody! Look at DEDEDE now! He’s hammering down punches, shots to the body and now to the head! Cameron is squirming back to the corner, but DEDEDE flipped the switch of this match being a technical showcase to a straight and furious dogfight in a matter of seconds! Cameron is able to retreat to the corner- but she won’t be trapped by DEDEDE! She jumps back out at him and sends him tumbling across the ring with a hurricanrana! A jumping headscissors attack from Cam as she now meets DEDEDE with a strong superkick to the midsection!
Deadprez: My word! You heard the sting and slap from that superkick off the ribcage of DEDEDE for miles! Now Cameron hooks the arm and tries to hoist DEDEDE up for a falcon arrow! HERE SHE GOES- KASSIDY HEART JUST BARGED INTO THE RING! BUT THERON NIKOLAS IS MEETING HER RIGHT THERE! THERON WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TO THE FACE OF KASSIDY! NOW THERON LIFTS KASSIDY UP AS CAMERON ALSO BRINGS MR DEDEDE UP INTO THE AIR! THERON DROPS KASSIDY WITH A BOOMING SNAP SUPLEX AND MR. DEDEDE HITS THE CANVAS HARD AFTER A FALCON ARROW FROM CAMERON ELLA AVA! WHAT AN OFFENSIVE SEQUENCE FROM THE TEAM OF CAMERONA ELLA AVA AND THERON NIKOLAS!
Gavin Kirkland: Mr. DEDEDE and Kassidy Heart are driven to the outside by these two as this match spills to the outside! Theron slides under the bottom rope and Kassidy shoves him back first into the apron! Theron’s back smacked against that wood apron and Kassidy Heart now with a thrusting kick to the midsection of Theron as he tumbles to the floor and grabs at his side! GET UP AND FUCK HER UP THERON! YES, HERE COMES CAMERON! Cameron Ella Ava tries to blast Kassidy from behind, but DEDEDE grabs her leg and SLAMS IT AGAINST THE RING POST! DEDEDE WITH SOME SAVAGERY FOR OFFENSE AS HE TURNS THE LEG OF CAM INTO HAMBURGER MEAT!!
Deadprez:DEDEDE KNOW LOCKING IN A KNEE BAR ON THE LEG OF CAMERON ELLA AVA! A NOD TO BOTH HER OWN SUBMISSION AND A SUBMISSION SPECIALITY OF HIS WIFE, KASSIDY HEART! DEDEDE IS WRENCHING AT THE LEG, NOT EVEN IN AN ATTEMPT AT VICTORY, JUST PUTTING CAMERON ELLA AVA IN MISERABLE AND EXCRUCIATING PAIN AS KASSIDY TARGETS THERON! HOW QUICKLY THESE TWO MANAGED TO TURN THEIR FATE AROUND!
Eve: Theron knows his partner isn’t good on one leg, he needs to get to her! Kassidy Heart grabs Theron by the beard and throws him into the barricade! KNOW GRABBING THERON, PULLING HIM BACK AND TOSSING HIM STRAIGHT OVER THE BARRICADE AND INTO THE TIMEKEEPER’S AREA! THERON JUST WAS DUMPED OVER THE BARRICADE AND LANDED HARD! THERON IS HURT AND KASSIDY HEART AND DEDEDE ARE NOW DOUBLE TEAMING CAMERON ELLA AVA! DEDEDE HAS THAT KNEE TRAPPED AND- OH NO, KASSIDY HEART WANTS A ‘PAINFULLY EVER AFTER’ TO DESTROY THAT LEG! SHE’S POSTURING FOR IT! CAMERON ELLA AVA IS ABOUT TO JOIN CHRIS ELITE IN REHAB!
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT, NO! LOOK AT THERON NIKOLAS! THERON JUST HOPPED ONTO THE BARRICADE, HE’S NOW WALKING ALONG THE BARRICADE AND NOW SOARS THROUGH THE AIR WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF KASSIDY HEART’S SKULL! THERON TOOK EVERYONE OUT AS KASSIDY STUMBLED ONTO THE PILE AND BROKE UP THE SUBMISSION! YES, YES THERON! SNAPPING THAT BULGING SKULL OF KASSIDY DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND HOPEFULLY BREAKING HER NECK TOO! THERON BROKE IT ALL UP WITH A DROPKICK THAT NEARLY BEHEADED KASSIDY HEART, MY GOD! SHE’S DOWN AND OUT ON THE FLOOR AND THERON NOW TURNS HIS ATTENTION TO LING TIME RIVAL, DEDEDE!
Deadprez: THERON TRIES TO LAND A SUPERKICK, BUT DEDEDE JUST BARELY EVADES THE ATTACK AS HE JUMPS ON THERON AND THE TWO MEN START EXCHANGING BLOWS! BOTH JUST HOCKEY-FIGHTING IN THIS MATCH! THERON NIKOLAS WITH A HUGE RIGHT TO THE TEMPLE OF DEDEDE! THAT ONE STUMBLED HIM AS DEDEDE THEN SHOOTS ONE BACK AT THE LIVER OF THERON! A NASTY BODY SHOT FROM DEDEDE AS NIKOLAS DOUBLES OVER AND VIOLENTLY COUGHS OVER THE APRON!
Eve: DEDEDE GRABS THERON BY THE HAIR AND NOW TRIES TO LIFT HIM UP-
Gavin Kirkland: LOOK BACK IN THE RING!
Deadprez: IT’S CAMERON ELLA AVA! CAM OFF THE ROPES AS SHE SLINGS OUT OF THE RING WITH A SUICIDE DIVE! WAIT, BUT DEDEDE JUMPED OUT OF THE WAY AS CAMERON LANDED ON THERON AND THEY BOTH TUMBLE TO THE FLOOR! DEDEDE checking on The Answers World Champion, Kassidy Heart, who is just coming to after that violent dropkick to the back of her head, OH BOY, HERE COMES MR. DEDEDE! HE SLIDES INTO THE RING AND NOW BARRELS OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A SOMERSAULT TO THE OUTSIDE, ‘VINTAGE DEDEDE’!!!!! HE FLOORS BOTH THERON AND CAMERON ELLA AVA!
Eve: DEDEDE PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS TONIGHT AS HE ROLLS THERON NIKOLAS BACK IN THE RING AND CALLS FOR THIS FAMILIAR FOE TO GET TO HIS FEET! DEDEDE STORMS TOWARDS NIKOLAS- BUT THERON SIDESTEPS DEDEDE AND GETS HIS BACK! A DRAGON SUPLEX ATTEMPT FROM THERON! DEDEDE ABLE TO RIP AN ARM OUT AND NAIL THERON IN THE FACE WITH A SHARP ELBOW! NOW DEDEDE TAKES THE BACK OF THERON, HOOKS HIS ARMS AND LIFTS HIM UP INTO A CRUSHING ‘BUTTERFLY EFFECT’ THAT SLAMS THERON DOWN INTO A BACKBREAKER! MY GOD, THERON’S SPINE MUST BE IN PIECES AFTER THAT ‘BUTTERFLY EFFECT’!!!
Gavin Kirkland: DEDEDE WITH THAT PUNISHING ‘BUTTERFLY EFFECT’, BUT HERE COMES CAMERON ELLA AVA! SHE BLASTS DEDEDE FROM BEHIND AND NOW SCOOPS UP HIS BODY INTO A POWERBOMB! CAMERON ELLA AVA IS LOOKING FOR A POWERBOMB IN THE TURNBUCKLES AS THERON NIKOLAS SLINKS UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE AND FALLS TO THE OUTSIDE! CAMERON WALKS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING AND TRIES TO CHARGE WITH DEDEDE ON HER SHOULDERS-
Deadprez: KASSIDY HEART OUT OF NOWHERE, SHE SPRINGS OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A DIVING KNEE THAT CLATTERS OFF THE NOSE OF CAMERON ELLA AVA AND FORCES HER TO DROP DEDEDE AS SHE HITS THE CANVAS IN A HEAP! DON’T FORGET, DEDEDE AND CAMERON ELLA AVA ARE STILL THE LEGAL COMPETITORS! KASSIDY GRABS CAMERON AGAIN AND THROWING HER INTO THE ARMS OF DEDEDE, WHO IS JUST BARELY ON TWO FEET HIMSELF!
Gavin Kirkland: MR. DEDEDE NOW THROWS CAMERON UP INTO THE AIR AND SLAMS HER DOWN WITH AN ‘EGO DEATH DRIVER’! THAT SITOUT VERTICAL SUPLEX JUST FOLDED THE BODY OF CAM LIKE AN ACCORDION, NOW DEDEDE’S “WIFE” OFF THE ROPES WITH A PENALTY KICK TO THE FACE OF CAMERON ELLA AVA AS DEDEDE HELD HER UP! MY GOD, WHAT A NASTY COMBO AS DEDEDE GOES FOR THE COVER ON CAMERON ELLA AVA!
ONE!
TW-
Eve: She powers out with a strong kickout at 2 as Mr. DEDEDE immediately switches it up to a front facelock! Burying his wrists in the face and eyes of Cameron as she claws and riops away, trying to get DEDEDE away from her! KASSIDY HEART STOMPS ON HER LEG THAT DEDEDE WAS TARGETING EARLIER AND CAMERON CRIES OUT IN PAIN! THERON NIKOLAS IS BACK IN THE FOLD NOW AS HE SHOVES KASSIDY ASIDE AND LANDS A STINGING SUPERKICK ON THE SIDE OF DEDEDE’S HEAD! WHAT A KICK FROM THERON AS KASSIDY THROWS A HEART PUNCH AND THUDS A CLOSED FIST OFF THE CHEST OF THERON! THAT ONE HURT HIM BAD AS HE FELL BACK INTO THE CORNER AND SLICED ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Gavin Kirkland: The fraud of an Answers World Champion is about to pick the bones of Theron Nikolas! She knows Theron is hurt and she’s got him on the ropes, both literally and metaphorically! She needs to keep Theron in this weary position! GRABBING HIM BY THE HAIR AND SLAMMING HIS FACE INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND THROWING HIM AROUND, TAKING HIS BACK AND LAUNCHING THERON ACROSS THE RING WITH A HEAVY GERMAN SUPLEX! THERON’S NECK BOUNCING OFF THE CANVAS AND HE CRUMBLES NEXT TO DEDEDE! NO! GET UP THERON!
Deadprez: The poetry is in motion! Theron’s attempts to build his empire always seem to crumble at the hands of this woman right here! She’s always there to stomp on his dreams and she’s looking to do it once more tonight! Cameron Ella Ava manages to get back to her feet, wearily and sluggishly, but still game as ever! Mr. DEDEDE has managed to crawl himself back to his corner and now tags in Kassidy Heart!
TAG!
Eve: KASSIDY NOW TURNING HER ATTENTION STRAIGHT TO CAM, WHO SWINGS A WILD KICK TOWARDS KASSIDY, MISSING AND KASSIDY HEART TAKES HER BACK! A BRIDGING DRAGON SUPLEX NOW FROM KASSIDY! DRIVING THE SHOULDERS INTO THE MAT AND TRYING TO END THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE!
ONEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO-
Deadprez: THERON NIKOLAS BROKE IT UP AS CAM WAS KICKING OUT! BOTH OF THESE ELITISTS TAKING ZERO CHANCES AND MAKING DAMN SURE THEY AREN’T CLOSE TO THAT THREE COUNT! KASSIDY HEART STANDS BACK UP AND GOES AT THERON, BUT SHE WAS RECKLESS! SHE STORMED TOWARDS HIM WITH MURDEROUS INTENT AN THERON CAUGHT HER, SPINNING AHER AROUND AND NOW DRIVING HER DOWN INTO THE CANVAS WITH A URANAGE SLAM THAT SHOOK THE FOUNDATION OF THE RING! MY LORD, THERON!!!
Eve: NOW DEDEDE IS BACK IN THE RING, HE LOOKS SHELL SHOCKED FROM THAT KICK BY THERON A FEW MOMENTS AGO, BUT HE ENTERS THE RING AND DRIVES THERON OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A CLOTHESLINE! DEDEDE SENDS THERON NIKOLAS BARRELING TO THE OUTSIDE AND ON THAT FLOOR WITH A HUGE CLOTHESLINE, BUT NOW CAMERONA ELLA AVA ATTACKS DEDEDE FROM BEHIND AND SHOVES HIM OVER THE ROPE! BUT DEDEDE STAYED ALIVE! DEDEDE LANDS ON THE APRON AND CAUGHT HIMSELF ON THE TOP ROPE!
Deadprez: WAIT, KASSIDY HEART STORMS TOWARDS CAM, WHO ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND KASSIDY NEARLY TOOK OUT HER HUSBAND! DEDEDE CATCHES HER AND THEY STOP BEFORE A MAJOR HEAD-ON-COLLISION! THAT WAS ALMOST BA- BANG! CAMERON ELLA AVA JUST JUMPED OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK THAT SNAPPED OFF THE HEAD OF BOTH DEDEDE AND KASSIDY HEART! KASSIDY STUMBLES AROUND AND DROPS TO HER KNEES AS DEDEDE FALLS INTO THE ARMS OF THERON NIKOLAS!!! THERON CAUGHT DEDEDE AS HE WAS FALLING AND TURNED IT INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX ON THE FLOOR! MY GOD, THERON WITH AN INCREDIBLE FEAT OF STRENGTH AS DEDEDE JUST GOT HIS HEAD SMACKED AGAINST THE BARE FLOOR!
Gavin Kirkland: THERON NIKOLAS IS TREMENDOUS, BUT THAT TOOK SO MUCH OUT OF HIM AS WELL! HE DROPPED DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND HASN’T GOTTEN BACK UP YET!
Eve: Oh boy, Cameron Ella Ava and Kassidy Heart are inside the ring and staring one another down! Neither of these two women will ever shy away from a tough challenge and they’ve got perhaps their toughest ones in front of them tonight! They lock up with a collar-and-elbow tie! Kassidy gains wrist control and drags the arm of Cameron behind her back! Cameron turns it around and dances her way into having wrist control of Kassidy! Now Cameron Ella Ava with an arm drag that puts The Answers World Champion on the canvas! AND ANOTHER ONE! Cameron Ella Ava sits Kassidy Heart down twice and now IS BOUNDING OFF THE ROPES! ‘AVACADABRA! NO! THE SLIDING KNEE STRIKE MISSED AS KASSIDY HEART ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND NOW RUNS BACK TOWARDS CAMERON ELLA AVA!
Gavin Kirkland: CAMERON ELLA AVA LIFTS HER ON HER SHOULDERS, KASSIDY TURNS THIS AROUND INTO A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB! A MODIFIED SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB THAT BOUNCES CAM’S SKULL AGAINST THE MAT! COME ON, DON’T LET THIS WHORE BEAT YOU! NOW DEDEDE’S SEX DOLL GRABS THE LEGS AND TIES THEM UP, OH BOY, WE ALREADY KNOW CAM’S LEG IS BEAT TO HELL, KASSIDY IS LOOKING FOR ‘XOXO KASS’!!! THIS UNFORTUNATELY MIGHT BE A TRUE KISS, A KISS OF DEATH! AND BELIEVE ME, NOBODY WANTS A KISS FROM THAT GODDAMN FISH!
Eve: KASSIDY HEART IS BRDGING UP INTO IT, OH MY GOD, SHE’S GOT SO MUCH ELEVATION IN THIS BRIDGE AND IS TORTURING THE LEGS OF CAMERON ELLA AVA! BOTH OF THESE WOMEN ARE LEGAL! CAMERON ELLA AVA MAY BE FORCED TO SUBMIT, SHE HASN’T GOT MUCH- WAIT! HERE COMES HER PARTNER! THERON NIKOLAS IS PERCHED ON THE TOP ROPE AND HE JUST STOOD UP TALL! HE DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH ‘HEAVEN’S DESCENT’ TO A BRIDGED KASSIDY HEART, SNAPPING HER ENTIRE BODY BACK DOWN INTO THE GROUND!!!! OH MY GOD, WHAT A REVERSAL BY THERON NIKOLAS, WHO DRAGS CAMERON ELLA AVA BACK TO HIS CORNER!
Deadprez: THERON TAGS HIMSELF IN! HE’S LEGAL!
TAG!
Deadprez: HERE COMES THERON-
Eve: –
Gavin Kirkland: –
CRASH!
Deadprez: MR. DEDEDE HAS RISEN FROM THE ASHES AND JUST SPEARED THERON NIKOLAS! HE CUT THERON IN HALF, JUST AS THERON WAS ABOUT TO FINISH OFF KASSIDY HEART, THE WOMAN WHO HAS HAD HER BOOT OVER THE NECK OF HIS ANSWERS WORLD TITLE DREAMS, MR. DEDEDE TO THE SAVE! THERON IS DOUBLED OVER AND COUGHING HE HOLDS HIS ARMS OVER HIS RIBS, MR. DEDEDE IS TRYING TO GET TO HIS FEET, BUT EVEN HE’S STILL BEATEN AFTER THAT VICIOUS ATTACK FROM NIKOLAS ON THE OUTSIDE!
Eve: Mr. DEDEDE is the only one on his feet, but he turns his attention to Cameron Ella Ava, who is starting to stir! DEDEDE knows he just took Theron Nikolas out badly, but Cameron Ella Ava is standing back up and DEDEDE can’t take advantage of the broken Nikolas! HE BLASTS CAMERON FROM BEHIND AND STARTS BEATING HER TO A PULP IN THE CORNER! DEDEDE WITH PUNCHES AND KICKS, FOREARMS AND ELBOWS, HE’S DOING AND AND EVERYTHING TO TAKE CAMERON OUT AND MY GOD, HE’S SURELY GOING TO DO IT!
Deadrez: HE DRAGS HER BACK UP TO HER FEET AND PROPS HER UP IN THE CORNER! CAMERON ELLA AVA IS A SITTING DUCK AND MR. DEDEDE COMES CHARGING OUT LIKE A CHARIOT WITH A ‘RAPTURE’ – NO!
Gavin Kirkland: IT DIDN’T TAKE! CAM DROPPED TO HER KNEES AND DEDEDE STRUNG HIMSELF UP ON THE TOP ROPE! NOW IT’S CAMERON WITH A LOOK OF ABSOLUTE FIRE IN HER EYES! CAM TIES DEDEDE’S LEGS OVER THAT TOP TURNBUCKLE AND PLACES HIM IN THE TREE OF WOE! THE TREE OF WOE AS CAMERON ELLA AVA RUNS ACROSS THE RING AND BACK AROUND WITH A METEORA TO THE FACE OF DEDEDE! OUCH, THOSE DOUBLE KNEES JUST CLOBBERED INTO THE FACE OF DEDEDE!
Eve: NOW CAMERON ELLA AVA COMES BACK ONE MORE TIME WITH A DIVING ‘WONDER WOMAN’ PUNCH TO THE FACE OF DEDEDE AND SHE ABSOLUTELY PUTS HIS LIGHTS OUT WITH THAT ONE! DEDEDE IS OUT COLD AND STILL STRUNG UP ON THAT TOP ROPE! BUT KASSIDY HEART IS BACK IN THE MIX AS SHE GETS BACK TO HER FEET AFTER THAT HORRIFIC ‘HEAVEN’S DESCENT’ FROM THERON NIKOLAS EARLIER! KASSIDY GRABS CAMERON ELLA AVA BY THE HAIR AND DRAGS HER ACROSS THE RING, SHE HOOKS THE NECK OF CAMERON ELLA AVA AND DRILLS HER SKULL INTO THE CANVAS WITH A ‘DEDEDE DDT’!!!!
Deadprez: I COULD HEAR HER SKULL CRUNCHING ON THE CANVAS AS KASSIDY NOW ROLLS THE BODY OF CAMERON OFF HER! SHE TURNS HER ATTENTION TO DEDEDE, WHO IS STILL SLUNG UP ON THAT TOP ROPE! SHE RUNS OVER TO HIM- SHE’S YANKED BACK BY THERON NIKOLAS, WHO SOMEHOW IS ON HIS FEET! THERON SWINGS WILDLY FOR KASSIDY HEART, SHE MAKES HIM MISS AND COUNTERS BACK WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! SHE BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES AND NOW THERON LANDS A STIFF LEFT HOOK TO HER BODY! A FURIOUS LEFT HOOK THAT HURTS THE BODY OF KASSIDY HEART!
Eve: HE ISN’T DONE THERE! THERON NIKOLAS NOW LANDS AN OPEN-HANDED SLAP ON THE FACE OF KASSIDY WITH THE RIGHT, BOOM! A CRUSHING FOREARM WITH THE LEFT AND THERON TAKES A STEP BACK AND NOW FLOORS KASSIDY WITH A BURNING LARIAT! THE ‘BATTLE FURY’ LANDS IN FULL EFFECT FOR THERON AS HE LANDS THAT BEAUTIFUL COMBINATION!
(Theron runs his hands through his hair as he sees DEDEDE trying to peel himself off that top turnbuckle, still trapped in the tree of woe.)
Gavin Kirkland: Uh oh, Theron Nikolas isn’t the guy you want staring at you right now! THERON’S GOT HISTORY WITH BOTH OF THEM AND HE’S GONNA MAKE KASSIDY WATCH THIS PUNISHMENT! YES, DO IT THERON! EVIESCERATE HER! HE’S GONNA TORRTURE HER BY DOING IT THROUGH DEDEDE! THERON GRABS THE WRISTS OF DEDEDE, NOW STOMPING THE HELL OUT OF DEDEDE’S FACE AND NECK AS HE DOES ANYTHING HE CAN TO COVER UP!!!! OH MY GOD, THERON NIKOLAS IS LETTING GO AND HE’S BECOMING UNHINGED AS JUST RELEASES ALL THIS RAGE ON DEDEDE! ALL OF THE FAILURES AND DISAPPOINTMENTS, HE’S GONNA MAKE DEDEDE PAY! MY GOD, SOMEONE COME STOP THERON!
Deadprez: AND ALL OF THIS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE FAMILY AND DAUGHTERS OF BOTH DEDEDE AND KASSIDY HEART! OH MY GOD, THERON NIKOLAS IS A MAD MAN WITH NOTHING BUT VICTORY AND VENGEANCE ON HIS MIND!
Eve: HE’S STOMPING DEDEDE’S FACE TO A BLOODY MESS AS BLOOD IS SPLATTERING ALL OVER THE CANVA SAND DRIPPING DOWN THE SIDES OF DEDEDE’S FACE! KASSIDY HEART IS TRYING TO GET TO HER KNEES, BUT SHE’S HURT BAD AND NOW CAMERONA ELLA AVA ROLLS INTO THE RING! KASSIDY JUST BARELY MANAGES TO GET UP, BUT SHE’S MET WITH AN ‘IN EXCELSIS’ TO THE CHIN AS SOON AS SHE STOOD UP! ALA JAMIE O’HARA! ONE OF DEDEDE’S MOST BITTER RIVALS EVER! IT’S COMING FULL CIRCLE FOR CAMERON ELLA AVA AND THERON NIKOLAS RIGHT NOW!
Deadprez: THERON SLINGS DEDEDE DOWN TO THE GROUND AND HE TELLS CAMERON TO GET DEDEDE! THERON KNOWS HE NEEDS TO FINISH OFF KASSIDY, THE LEGAL COMPETITOR! AND HOW COULD IT BE ANY OTHER WAY FOR THERON NIKOLAS?!? THIS HAS BEEN MONTHS IN THE MAKING FOR THERON AND HE’S FINALLY HERE! HE’S DRAGGED KASSIDY TO HELL’S DOORSTEP AND HE’S ABOUT TO MAKE GOOD OF THE CHANCE HE’S BEEN FAILING TO GRAB FOR ALL THESE MONTHS! THERON DROPS DOWN AND LOCKS KASSIDY HEART IN THE CROSS ARM-BAR! HE LOCKS KASSIDY IN HER OWN ‘GAWD’S GIFT’ AND IT’S ANYTHING BUT A GIFT TO THE MAN LAYING DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM HER RIGHT NOW!
Eve: CAMERON GETS HER WRISTS LOCKED AROUND THE FACE, THE LEG IS HOOKED, THE ‘AVA LOCK IS IN ON MR. DEDEDE! THE ‘AVA LOCK’ AND ‘GAWD’S GIFT’ BOTH BEING USED TO RIP APART MR. DEDEDE AND KASSIDY HEART RIGHT NOW!!! IF THERE EVER WAS A WAY FOR THEM TO GO, THEY’RE GONNA GO TOGETHER! THEY’RE ENDURING TOGETHER, BUT FOR HOW MUCH LONGER?! MR. DEDEDE’S FACE IS TURNING WHITE AND HIS LEG IS TOUCHING HIS HIP!
Deadprez: KASSIDY HEART IS SCREAMING OUT AND YELLING, THERON IS RIPPING AT THE ARM AND TRYING TO BREAK IT! HE’S SCREAMING OUT FOR KASSIDY TO TAP, HE’S SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER FOR KASSIDY TO TAP OUT!!! THERON WANTS TO FINISH KASSIDY HEART WITH EVERY BONE AND FIBER IN HIS BODY! KASSIDY MAY LOVE PAIN, BUT RIGHT NOW, IT’S PROVING TOO MUCH! SHE’LL NEVER TAP, BUT IF THAT ARM BREAKS, IT’S BREAKING IN FRONT OF MR. DEDEDE AND THE REFEREE IS CALLING THIS MATCH! THERON IS AN INCH FROM SNAPPING THIS ARM, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD-
Eve: THERON IS GOING CRAZY AND HE’S TRYING TO SHATTER THIS ARM, KASSIDY HEART SQUIRMING AND FIGHTING- THERON IS BITING KASSIDY’S FINGERS!!!! OH MY GOD, THAT’S WHAT KASSIDY DOES TO HER OPPONENTS AND THERON IS DIGGING HIS TEETH INTO THE FINGERS OF KASSIDY!!! THE REFEREE IS SHOUTING AT THERON AS THE BLOOD IS RUNNING DOWN HIS MOUTH AND KASSIDY HEART IS YELLING OUT! HOLY HELL- LOOK AT DEDEDE!!! DEDEDE IS ON THE VERGE OF PASSING OUT!! HIS FACE AND BODY ARE LIMP AND HIS COLOR IS PURPLE!
Gavin Kirkland: THERON NIKOLAS IS LOSING HIS MIND AND NOW DIGGING HIS FINGERS AND HANDS INTO THE EYES OF KASSIDY HEART! BLIND HER, TAKE AWAY THAT FUCKING DUCK VISION AND THOSE BUTTHOLE EYES! AND THE REFEREE FINALLY IS FORCED TO SEPARATE THERON AND KASSIDY, WHAT THE FUCK?!? THERON LOSES THE SUBMISSION AND THE REFEREE STARTS SHOUTING IN HIS FACE! THERON WENT OFF THE RAILS AND WAS SIMPLY TRYING TO DESTROY KASSIDY HEART!!! THE BLOOD IS BLACK BETWEEN THESE TWO, BUT THE REFEREE GAVE HIM SO MANY WARNINGS! THERON IS IN THE REFEREE’S FACE AS KASSIDY FALLS TO THE CANVAS AND GRABS HER ARM IN MISERABLE PAIN!
Gavin Kirkland: THERON HAD KASSIDY HEART DEAD AND DONE FOR, THE REFEREE IS CLEARLY SLANTED AND TRYING TO PROTECT HIS JOB!
Deadprez: CAMERON ELLA AVA DROPS DEDEDE’S DYING FACE TO THE CANVAS AS HE GRABS HIS THROAT AND COUGHS HORRIBLY! SHE TRIES TO GET THERON AWAY FROM THE REFEREE! THIS VENDETTA HAS BECOME PERSONAL FOR THERON NIKOLAS AND HE CAN’T KEEP HIS COMPOSURE ANYMORE! KASSIDY HEART IS AT A KNEE AND HAS A LOOK OF PURE FURY AND RAGE ON HER FACE! SHE SHOVES THERON NIKOLAS INTO THE REFEREE AND CAMERON ELLA AVA! THERON HITS THEM BOTH AND THE REFEREE FALLS TO THE GROUND!
Eve: THERON TURNS AROUND AND KASSIDY RIPS HIM IN HALF WITH A ONE ARMED SPEAR THAT SLICES THERON IN TWO AND SENDS COLLAPSES HIM TO THE GROUND! WHAT A SPEAR FROM KASSIDY HEART!!! KASSIDY HEART WITH ONLY ONE GOOD ARM, SHE’S STILL KEEPING HER RIGHT ARM TUCKED CLOSE TO HER CHEST AND WINCING IN PAIN, BUT THERE’S NEARLY TOO MUCH ANGER AND DISDAIN FOR OPPONENTS TO SEE IT!
Gavin Kirkland: DEDEDE IS OPENING HIS EYES AND WIPING ALL THE BLOOD FROM HIS FACE! THOSE STOMPES FROM THERON AND THAT ‘AVA LOCK’ HURT HIM SO BAD, BUT LIKE THE MADMAN HE’S ALWAYS BEEN, DEDEDE IS LIFTING HIS BODY BACK TO HIS FEET! A KING FROM THE TOMB AS KASSIDY HEART DROPS A NASTY FOREARM TO THE TEMPLE OF CAMERON ELLA AVA! CAMERON NOW TURNS AROUND AND IS MET WITH A REVERSE ROUNDHOUSE KICK THAT TORNADOES HER ENTIRE BODY AROUND AND SHE DROPS INTO THE ROPES AND SPLATTERED TO THE CANVAS IN A HEAP!
Eve: The expression on both DEDEDE’s face and Kassidy Heart’s is sinister! Mr. DEDEDE is forcing her back to her feet and now hoisting up her seemingly lifeless body, perching her on the top rope, facing the crowd as Mr. DEDEDE has something devastating in mind…OH MY GOD, WAIT, HE’S LOOKING FOR THE ‘SUPER BUTTERFLY EFFECT’!!! IF HE CAN RIP HER DOWN FROM THAT HEIGHT, IT’LL BE OVER, LET ALONE IF HE CAN TURN IT INTO AN ‘MK DRIVER’!!! THEN THERE TRULY BE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, THAT’S THE STAMP ON THIS MATCH! SEALED AND DELIVERED!!! DEDEDE STARTS TO ASCEND THE TURNBUCKLES AND IS WOBBLING ON THE MIDDLE ROPE, HE’S SO BADLY BATTERED, KASSIDY HEART IS HELPING HIM BALANCE!
Deadprez: DEDEDE FIND HIS BALANCE AND NOW STEPS TO THE TOP ROPE! HE’S GOT A HAND ON THE TOP ROPE AS HE TRIES TO STAND CAMERON ELLA AVA UP!!! OH MY GOD, HE’S GONNA DUMP HER NECK FIRST ALL THE WAY FROM THE TOP!!! THIS IS GOING TO BE IT IF DEDEDE CAN CONNECT! CAMERON ELLA AVA IS NEARLY ON HER FEET AS-
Gavin Kirkland: THERON NIKOLAS! HE IS RELENTLESS AND WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO WIN THIS MATCH! HE BLASTS KASSIDY DOWN WITH A LARIAT OUT OF NOWHERE AND FLOORS THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! THERON NIKOLAS POPS ONTO THE SECOND ROPE AND NOW HOOKS DEDEDE’S ARMS! OH MY GOD!!! CAMERON ELLA AVA SITS BACK DOWN ON THE TOP AS THERON NIKOLAS RIPS DEDEDE DOWN FROM THE TOP ROPE WITH A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEXXXXX!!!! OHHH MY GODDDDDD!!! THERON NIKOLAS JUST KILLED MR. DEDEDE WITH THAT AVALANCHE DRAGON SUPLEX AS CAMERON ELLA AVA GETS BACK TO THE CANVAS!
Eve: KASSIDY CAN’T BELIEVE IT! THEY HAD THIS MATCH IN THE PALM OF THEIR HAND AND NOW THERON STORMS TOWARDS HER! SHE DROPS THERON NIKOLAS WITH A DROP TOE HOLD! NOW A LEFT HOOK TO THE FACE OF CAMERON ELLA AVA! SHE STOMPS ON THERON’S BACK- BANG! A SUPERKICK FROM CAMERON, AN ABSOLUTE FIRECRACKER AND NOW IT’S CAMERON ELLA AVA WHO TAKES OVER! SHE’S ON TOP OF THE WORLD AND CAMERON ELLA AVA TELLS THERON NIKOLAS TO FINISH THE MATCH RIGHT HERE AND NOW! THIS IS THE TIME, THIS IS IT! IT’S ALL OR NOTHING!
Gavin Kirkland: CAMERON DRAGS MR. DEDEDE OUTSIDE THE RING AND THROWS HIM TO THE FLOOR, KEEPING HIM PRESSED AGAINST THE APRON AS THERON NIKOLAS TURNS HIS ATTENTION TO KASSIDY HEART! THERON NIKOLAS IS GOING TO DRIVE THE STAKE THROUGH THIS WRETCHED BITCHE’S HEART ONCE AND FOR ALL!
Deadprez: THERON NIKOLAS NAILS KASSIDY HEART WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT THAT SENDS HER BOUNCING OFF THE ROPES- BUT NOW KASSIDY RETURNS FIRE WITH A KNEE STRIKE OF HER OWN TO THE FACE OF THERON! A KNEE LIFT THAT STUNS THERON NIKOLAS! NOW KASSIDY GRABS HIM FOR A RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP, BUT THERON NIKOLAS ESCAPES THE HOLD AND SCOOPS KASSIDY HEART ON HIS SHOULDERS FOR AN USHIGOROSHI! THERON TIPS HER OVER AND SNAPS HER NECK OVER HIS KNEE! HE GRABS AT HIS LEG IMMEDIATELY, BUT STILL, HE KEEPS MOVING ONWARDS! ONWARDS AND UPWARDS, THERON NIKOLAS IS ABOUT TO REDEFINE HIS CAREER!
Gavin Kirkland: THERON NIKOLAS JUST GOT ON THE APRON IS CLIMBING TO THE TOP ROPE! HE’S GOING FOR THAT ‘SIX STAR’ FROG SPLASH! THIS CROWD IS GOING CRAZY FOR THERON NIKOLAS RIGHT NOW, HE’S FINALLY ABOUT TO KNOCK OFF THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION AS CAMERON ELLA AVA DISPOSES OF MR. DEDEDE! OH MY GOD, THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!! IT’S YOUR TIME, THERON!
(The crowd explodes as Theron Nikolas reaches the top rope and they all stand on their feet as Theron stands atop the world itself.)
Gavin Kirkland: HERE COMES THERON NIKOLAS! ‘SIX STAR’ FROG SPLASH FROM THERON NIKOLAS LANDS FLUSH AS HE CRUSHES KASSIDY HEART FROM THE VERY TOP!!!! OH MY GOD, IT LANDED, BUT THAT HURT THERON TOO! HE CAN’T COVER HER- WAIT, NO! THERON JUST KNOWS IT ISN’T ENOUGH! THERON NEEDS TO PUT THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN! THERON NEEDS TO END THIS MATCH ONCE AND FOR ALL AND TRULY FINISH THIS!
Deadprez: THERON NIKOLAS LIFTS UP THE BODY OF KASSIDY HEART, HE LOOKS HER DEAD IN THE EYES AND NOW SWINGS HER SKULL TO THE GROUND WITH ‘GOD’S REQUIEM’!!!!! ‘GOD’S REQUIEMMMMMMMMMM!!!!’ OH MY GOD, THERON HIT IT, THERON NIKOLAS HIT IT AND KASSIDY HEART IS DONE! SHE’S OUT AND HE GOES IN FOR THE COVER!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MR. DEDEDE TRYING TO BREAK FREE AND SAVE THE MATCH-
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Eve: MR. DEDEDE THROWS CAMERON ASIDE AND SLIDES INTO THE RING-
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
…
…
Deadprez: SHE KICKED OUT!! OH MY GOD, DEDEDE WAS TOO LATE, BUT KASSIDY WAS ABLE TO KICK OUT, SHE POWERED OUT OF ‘GOD’S REQUIEM’ SOMEHOW SURVIVING, SHE IS ABSOLUTELY UNREAL AND THAT TOUGHNESS IS UNPARALLELED! DEDEDE IS LAYING ON THE CANVAS WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE, BUT THERON NIKOLAS IS IN DISBELIEF!!!
(Theron pleads with the referee that it was a three count, then runs his hands through his hair a look of introspective crosses his face. Sheer disbelief and wonder, Theron almost wears a look of defeat on his face. He lays back down on the canvas and looks absolutely and inconsolably defeated. Just lost.)
(The crowd was roaring before, they sit nearly silently now as Theron lay in the middle of the ring and Kassidy Heart still is unconscious.)
Gavin Kirkland: Man, that look on Theron’s face is not one you see often and it isn’t one you want to see before this match is even over. He needs to realize that he can still capitalize on this window, Kassidy is down and Theron can still put her away- NOT SO FAST! ‘THE GAWD’ TO SPOIL THERON’S PLANS! MR. DEDEDE CREPT UP BEHIND THERON AND NOW SLAMS HIM DOWN FACE FIRST WITH A ‘DEMOLITION’!!! THAT CUTTER JUST SNUFFED THERON OUT AND DEDEDE LIFTS HIS WHORE, KASSIDY, UP ON HIS SHOULDER, CARRYING HER TO THEIR CORNER! HE TAGS HIMSELF IN AND NOW DEDEDE IS THE LEGAL MAN!
TAG!
Eve: DEDEDE PEELS HIS EYES ON THERON-
(Suddenly, the crowd goes crazy as Mr. DEDEDE looks confused. Looking around and then finally noticing what they’re cheering for.)
Eve: IT’S CAMERON! CAMERON ELLA AVA IS STANDING ON THE APRON AND STARING DOWN AT MR. DEDEDE! HE INVITES HER INTO THE RING AND SHE WALKS STRAIGHT FOR HIM! CAMERON ELLA AVA AND MR. DEDEDE ARE STARING ONE ANOTHER DEAD IN THE EYES! CAMERON IS REMEMBERING WHAT MR. DEDEDE DID TO HER WITH ‘THE EQUALIZER’ LAST YEAR! SHE CAME BACK AND HAS BEEN ON AN ABSOLUTE TEAR, IT’S TIME TO GET BACK THE MAN WHO SENT HER AWAY IN THE FIRST PLACE! ONE OF THE MOST EVIL AND MALICIOUS DEVILS THIS COMPANY HAS EVER KNOWN; MR. DEDEDE!
Gavin Kirkland: BOOM! MR. DEDEDE WITH A RIGHT HAND, NOW CAMERON RETURNS FIRE AND THE FIGHT IS ON! THEY ARE SLUGGING IT OUT AS MR. DEDEDE GETS THE UPPER HAND AND BEATS HER DOWN AGAINST THE ROPES! HE COMES OFF THE ROPES ON THE OTHER SIDE, BUT SHE DOES TOO AND SHE FOLLOWS MR. DEDEDE! HE ENDS UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING AND SHE DIVES WITH A ‘WONDER WOMAN PUNCH’ FOREARM TO THE FACE! MR. DEDEDE IS HURT AND CAMERON ELLA AVA MAY HAVE THIS MATCH BAGGED!
Deadprez: MR. DEDEDE IS NOW UP TO A KNEE AND CAMERON ELLA AVA KNOWS IT’S TIME! SHE SURGES FORWARD WITH THE ‘GODDESS RISING’- NO! IT DOESN’T TAKE AS DEDEDE SCOOPED HER UP MID-KICK! HE LIFTED HER UP AND NOW MR. DEDEDE HAS CAMAERON ELLA AVA IN POWERBOMB POSITION! SHE THROWS HIM ACROSS THE RING WITH A PAIR OF HEADSCISSORS AND DEDEDE MANAGES TO ROLL THROUGH IT AND GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET-
TAG!
Gavin Kirkland: THERON NIKOLAS JUST STUCK HIS HAND OUT FROM THE APRON AND MADE CAMERON ELLA AVA THE LEGAL COMPETITOR! DEDEDE DIDN’T SEE IT! DEDEDE DIDN’T SEE IT! HE THINKS IT THERON! DEDEDE STORMS TO THE CORNER AND BLASTS THERON NIKOLAS AWAY FROM IT! CAMERON ELLA AVA WITH A SUPERKICK TO DEDEDE- NO! IT DOESN’T TAKE! DEDEDE SLINGS HER FOOT ASIDE AND NOW CATCHES HER IN AN ‘EGO DEATH DRIVER’!!!! THAT SITOUT SUPLEXC FROM DEDEDE LANDS AGAIN AS CAMERON ELLA AVA GRABS AT HER BACK!
Eve: THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD TRICK DEDEDE, BUT HE’S FIGURED IT OUT! HE KNOWS CAMERON’S LEGAL AND NOW HE’S LIFTING HER UP TO HER FEET! NOTHING IS FORGIVEN AS DEDEDE LIFTS HER UP AND THUNDEROUSLY SLAMS HER DOWN WITH A ‘GRAND SLAM’!!!! THAT ONE NEARLY PUT A WHOLE THROUGH THE DAMN RING AND CAMERON ELLA AVA IS OUT! SHE’S DONE AND DEDEDE FALLS INTO THE COVER! THERON NIKOLAS IS HURT ON THE OUTSIDE! HE WON’T MAKE IT!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: NOW IT’S CAMERON ELLA AVA WHO KICKS OUT!!! SHE KICKS OUT AND DEDEDE IS STUNNED! THIS ENTIRE CROWD JUST WENT BANANAS AS CAMERON KICKED OUT OF THE ‘GRAND SLAM’ OH MY GOD!!! SHE SURVIVED AND SOMEHOW MADE IT THROUGH THAT ‘GRAND SLAM’!!!
Deadprez: IT DOESN’T MATTER LOOK AT DEDEDE! HE’S ENRAGED! HE’S DISGUSTED BY CAMERON ELLA AVA AND HE’S GONNA FINISHER HER HERE! DEDEDE HEADS TO THE CORNER AND SHOUTS AT CAMERON TO GET BACK TO HER FEET! HE POINTS HIS HEAD UP AT THE SKY AND ABSORBS THE MOMENT, HE KNOWS HE’S ABOUT TO ENJOY ENDING THIS NIGHT FOR CAMERON! DEDEDE WANTS THE SPEAR AND CAM IS GETTING UP ON INSTINCT ALONE! WOBBLING AND SHAKING TO HER FEET, DAZED AND BEATEN, SHE DOESN’T KNOW WHERE SHE IS!
Eve: IT DOESN’T MATTER BECAUSE DEDEDE KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE SHE’S AT! HE’S SIZING HER UP, CHOMPING AT THE BIT TO RIP HER IN HALF! CAMERON TURNS HER BODY AROUND AND DEDEDE FLIES OUT OF THE CORNER LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL-

Eve: WHAT THE?!?!? KASSIDY HEART IS BACK IN THIS!!! SHE’S BACK, KASSIDY JUST RIPPED CAMERON ELLA AVA OFF DEDEDE AND NOW SHE’S LOCKING IN THE ‘LOUIS VUITTON OF WRESTLING MOVES’!!! SHE HAS BOTH ARMS INTERLOCKED AND SHE’S RIPPING AT THE SHOULDER SOCKETS OF CAMERON ELLA AVA!!!!! OH MY GOD!!! OH MY GOD!!!!
Deadprez: KASSIDY IS HEADBUTTING THE SHOULDER, JUST TRYING TO DO ANYTHING SHE CAN TO INJURE CAMERON AND MAKE HER SUBMIT!!! CAMERON IS LOSING IT AND KASSIDY IS GOING TO DESTROY HER CAREER!

Gavin Kirkland: THERON NIKOLAS WITH ANOTHER ‘HEAVEN’S DESCENT, THIS TIME HE CAME DOWN WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP ON THE HEAD OF KASSIDY!!! YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!! MY GOD, HOW DID HER BRAINS NOT JUST SPILL ALL OVER THE CANVAS?!?! MAN, WHY ISN’T SHE JUST FUCKING DEAD YET?!?! THERON NIKOLAS WITH THE VITAL SAVE IN THE DYING SECONDS OF THE MATCH! HE STOMPED ON HER HEAD AND KASSIDY’S LIGHTS ARE OUT!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!
(The crowd begins to chant; FIGHT FOREVER! FIGHT FOREVER! FIGHT FOREVER!)
Eve: Man, what a war this has been. Every single elitist out here has proved why they are bonafide living legend status and are some of the greatest we’ve ever seen in EAW. This is remarkable and neither team is willing to give an inch to the other.)
Deadprez: Theron Nikolas is the first to his feet and now looks at both DEDEDE and Kassidy Heart, Theron knows this could be his moment! This could be the summit he’s been attempting to reach for months now! Theron Nikolas knows DEDEDE is the legal man! He boots Kassidy Heart to the outside of the ring and she hits the floor hard! Cameron Ella Ava is in a heap, but Theron Nikolas is still alive and he turns his attention to Mr. DEDEDE! THERON NIKOLAS JUST TOOK A LOOK OVER AT THE FAMILY OF KASSIDY HEART, STARING AT MR. DEDEDE’S DAUGHTERS!
Gavin Kirkland: YES, DESTROY THEM IN FRONT OF THEIR OWN FAMILY! THERON HOOKS THE NECK OF MR. DEDEDE AND SPINS HIM AROUND WITH ONE FINAL ‘GOD’S REQUIEM’-
Eve: NO! MR. DEDEDE ESCAPES OUT THE BACK AND HE ROLLS THERON UP, SMALL PACKAGE ROLLUP FROM DEDEDE! OH MY GOD, NO WAY IS HE GOING TO STEAL THIS MATCH!!!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
DING! DING! DING!
(‘Range Brothers’ by Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar begins to play as the crowd holds their breath and Mr. DEDEDE rolls off Theron Nikolas and quickly tumbles his way under the bottom rope. Theron explodes up and pleads with the referee, he’s absolutely shocked at this result.)
Gavin Kirkland: HOW THE FUCK DID THAT HAPPEN?! THERON WAS JUST ROLLED UP BY MR. DEDEDE AND LOST THIS MATCH!
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS, THE TEAM OF THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION, KASSIDY HEART, AND ‘THE GAWD’, MR. DEDEDE!!!
(The crowd sends a very mixed, though primarily negative reaction to Mr. DEDEDE and Kassidy Heart as he helps his wife to her feet, both making their way up the ramp and staring back at the inconsolable Theron Nikolas, who is sitting on his knees and has his head pointed straight down into the canvas. Cameron Ella Ava shares the look of disappointment as smiles run across the faces of the winning team, while Kassidy still barely manages to stay upright after that horrific ‘Heaven’s Descent’.straight to her skull.)
Eve: Man, what an anticlimactic ending to an absolute war we just witnessed. I mean, these two teams dragged each other to the literal brink and neither one showed any signs of slowing down. Every single individual of these 4 showcased why there are some of EAW’s greatest to ever lace the boots and truly the definition of timeless.
Deadprez: That’s true, but tonight belongs to Mr. DEDEDE and Kassidy Heart, EAW’s grandest couple and pair of superstars. They proved too much for Theron Nikolas and Cameron Ella Ava tonight, you know this win must feel good against these two opponents. All the history behind this match, the bad blood is seemingly anything but resolved.
Eve: You were right about how good it must feel for them, but look at Theron Nikolas. His face is absolutely void of any expression, apart from the desolate and familiar presence of loss in the face of the Answers World Champion. He’s one of the greatest ever when he’s at his best, but tonight, it seems as if Theron allowed for personal endeavors and the need to satisfy this personal and bitter rivalry to cloud his judgement and overcome his composure.
(The family of Kassidy Heart and Mr. DEDEDE meets them at the top of the stage and they all cross through the curtain together as Mr. DEDEDE embraces his daughters and Kassidy Heart is aligning the Answers World title over her shoulder. Both a bloody mess, but basking in the waters of victory tonight. They walk through the curtain and one final shot of Theron Nikolas inside the ring is shown as Cameron Ella Ava sits against the barricade on the outside.)
Deadprez: Man, what is next for these two?
(Theron Nikolas’ face sinks down to an almost ghostly expression, as if he were lost. Cameron Ella Ava gets to her feet and begins to high five fans somberly, as Theron doesn’t move a muscle. The shot zooms in on Theron’s face and slowly begins to fade to black as the scene ends.)
