John Helms
Day 1
(EAW Intro Plays)
(Epic music begins to play.)
(The scene opens over Fenway Stadium, it is a black and white render, the footage looks old, the classic quotes from some of Baseball’s Boston Red Sox greats can be heard.)
???: With two on and two outs, Red Sox legend Ted Williams stepped to the plate as the winning run in 1941! His American League squad trailed 5-4. With one swing, Teddy Ballgame erased it!
(Footage of Milli Banks coming down to the ring, then ARIA holding the Specialists Championship proud. It then switches to Serenity Valdez laughing, holding up the Empress of Elite crown, to the legendary Cameron Ella Ava in action before posing.)
Narrator: You’re this perfectly beautiful thing. You can win or lose the game, all by yourself.
???: In what also is a seminal moment in the history of the Yankees, Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sold Ruth to the Yankees for $125,000, three payments of $25,000 each and access to a $300,000 line of credit. He needed it to finance a stage play, “My Lady Friends,” that would one day become the musical “No, No, Nanette.” The musical became a hit. But for the next 86 years, the Red Sox and their fans endured no championships and many seasons of pain. Fans began to refer to it as “The Curse of the Bambino.”
(It slowly transitions to a seething Minerva glaring into the yellow eyes of Samael with a wall of fire surrounding them. It then fades into Ms. Extreme beating up General Manager Kennedy Street before Pandora Paisley jumps her from behind. Jon Kelton turns and sides with Mair Yusuf with Pandora to form Devolution, but Ms. Extreme is saved by DOMINION)
Narrator: We’re the best team in baseball, right now, right this minute, because of you. You’re the reason. We’re not gonna screw that up, we’re gonna be awesome for you right now. Just throw.
???: The next Red Sox pennant came in 1975, but they lost the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds. Different team, yet another seventh game loss. That team featured the great catcher Carlton Fisk, outfielder Jim Rice and Yastrzemski. Fisk provided one of the most memorable moments in Red Sox history, hitting a walk-off home run to win Game 6 of the series, willing the ball to stay fair.
(Impact and Adam Lucas are face to face, they then start battling it out, with so much history and animosity. The newly crowned Interwire champion, PJ Hendrix holds up the belt, but Jay Jerry Johnson has other plans, pointing at the title. Soul Food Sunday brandish the Unified Tag Team Championships and footage of what they did at the Comic-Con is shown, but Holly Arrow and Harper Lee have other plans in a #POTARASweep.)
Narrator: We bleed Red Sox, it is why I can’t think of a better reason not to be a Yankee.
???: The 1986 World Series occupies a lot of space in the Red Sox history in terms of heartbreaking moments. With two outs in the 10th inning and the game tied, the New York Mets’ Mookie Wilson hit a ground ball up the first base line that went between the legs of first baseman Bill Buckner. The Mets’ Ray Knight scored the winning run, setting off bedlam in Shea Stadium. It didn’t cost the Red Sox the World Series – they still had a Game 7 to lose back in Boston – but many fans blamed Buckner. Buckner eventually came back to Boston before his death to get honored at Fenway Park. To this day, however, it remains one of the most famous moments of heartbreak and loss in sports history.
(Methuselah attacks Yhwach O’Hara but the “Ace” stands tall, ready to go into war. Myles is at his peak, the footage switches to him as he then looks right at Daryl Kinkade who wants nothing more than to be the EAW World Champion.)
Narrator: God, I always said I would never bother you about baseball, Lord knows you have bigger things to worry about. But if you could make this pain in my shoulder stop for ten minutes, I would really appreciate it.
???: The “Impossible Dream” Red Sox emerged from a four-team battle at the end of the season. Boston beat out the Detroit Tigers, Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox to win the AL pennant (their first since 1946) and earn another trip to the World Series – which they lost, again to the Cardinals, and again in seven games. The 1967 team featured two great Red Sox players, Carl Yastrzemski, and Jim Lonborg.
(The footage quickly switches to Liimmy Monaghan holding up the EAW World Heavyweight Championship. He points to the sky and then to the beast known as Scott Diamond who hulks up before throwing him around. Dr. Bethany Blue and Sheridan Muller are then shown as tag team champions, but once it is gone, they are now bitter enemies with footage of their matches and the knockout to Bethany which shows her clutching the belt afterwards.)
Narrator: Yes, the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004, but it seems equally significant that they did so by coming back from a 3-0 deficit in the AL Championship Series against their hated rivals, the Yankees. They are the only team to ever recover from a three game deficit in the ALCS. They went on to beat the Cardinals in the World Series, another form of payback for 1946 and 1967. They have gone on to win the World Series in 2007, 2013 and 2018, but the 2004 title might be the sweetest.
???: Well, since you’re throwing bullets, I’m not even gonna mention the fact that you’re an hour late, and I have been standing here trying to figure out who my starting pitcher would be if you didn’t show up.
(As it transitions to Jake Smith winning the Answers World Championship, he then turns and poses. But Alex Myers shows just how good he is, but taking these huge risks, always throwing caution to the win and for the Answers World Championship. Finally, the Grand Rampage participants are shown quickly, from Bronson Daniels to Joso to Drake King to Donovan Duke to Kassidy Heart, they are all featured as it finally fades to black.)
(All you can hear is the bat hitting the ball, the crowd screaming at Fenway park.)
Narrator: “And you get the feeling that this pitcher isn’t pitching against left handers, he isn’t pitching against pinch hitters, he isn’t pitching against the Yankees. He’s pitching against time. He’s pitching against the future, against age, and even when you think about his career, against ending. And tonight, I think he might be able to use that aching old arm one more time to push the sun back up in the sky and give us one more day of summer.”
(As Fenway Park slowly fades.)
Narrator: AN NOW EAW, DISNEY + WITH TACO BELL AND THE MOVIE PETER PAN AND WENDY PRESENT TO YOU…. THE GRAND RAMPAGE 2023!
(The fireworks explode as Pop Evil’s “Paranoid” blasts throughout the arena. The fans scream in excitement and are ready for one of the biggest shows of the year and the official Road to Pain For Pride begins. The camera pans through the sold out TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, before it settles on James Peters, Rich Russillo, and Persephone.
James Peters: WE ARE HERE AT THE SOLD OUT ARENA FOR THE GRAND RAMPAGE! AN INCREDIBLE TWO NIGHT EVENT AND WHAT A CARD WE HAVE TONIGHT! WE ARE JOINED BY THE SHOWDOWN COMMENTATING TEAM OF DEADPREZ, EVE AND GAVIN KIKRLAND! WE ARE ALSO JOINED BY THE DYNASTY CREW OF STEW-O, JAKE MERCER AND FLANNERY MCCOY!

Rich Russillo: YOPU WANT TO TALK ABOUT A STACKED CARD AND THE ABSOLUTE BEST COMPETING HERE TONIGHT TOPPED OFF BY THE HUGE GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH WHERE ONE PERSON MUST OUTLAST 29 OTHERS! WE HAVE FOUR WORLD CHAMPIONSHJPS ON THE LINE TONIGHT INCLUDING ONE IN AN MMA STYLE RULES CLASH! THE SPECIALIST TITLE IS ON THE LINE! THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS ON THE LINE!

THE FUTURE VERSUS THE PAST IN THE WOMEN’S DIVISION! I’M EXCITED BECAUSE COULD REXY BE IN THE GRAND RAMPAGE!?!
James Peters: WE DON’T KNOW BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT BELLA BRAXTON IS READY TO INTRODUCE THE OPENING CONTEST OF GRAND RAMPAGE AND LET ME TELL YOU…. IT IS GOING TO BE A SCORCHER!
(Grand Rampage then transitions over as the first match graphic is seen flashing across the screen to the excitement of the crowd.)
(The shot transitions to the ring where multiple officials are seen setting up for the match, meanwhile Bella Braxton is standing by at ringside, ready to announce!)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is an INFERNO MATCH!!
Crowd: JEQKNQDORNAODNEOQNSOS
Bella Braxton: There are no pinfalls, no submissions, and no disqualifications. The winner will be declared when one competitor has set their opponent ON FIRE!!
(‘Blood, Milk, & Sky’ by White Zombie is heard playing through the speakers while the crowd cheers loudly for Minerva, who saunters out from the backstage area and to the stage. She has the usual entrance gear with her orange rose gritted between her teeth, she laughs maniacally before then beginning to make her way down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… from Bucharest, Romania… weighing in at 122 pounds… ‘BLACK ROSE’… MINERVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Minerva is entering this match knowing that she brought this upon herself. She was the one that sought to make this match official this week at Grand Rampage, and was more than happy to up the ante with this Inferno Match stipulation. While her opponent here tonight has kept his peace this week on his thoughts, his words have been heard loud and clear these past couple of weeks, but so have Minerva’s. She’s on a mission here tonight, looking to win a blazing glory by setting Samael on fire.
Persephone: You know what, I’m slightly intrigued, but surely I’ll regret this once the bell rings and they actually start the match.
(‘Down With The Sickness’ by Disturbed is heard playing while smoke billows out of the stage, Samael being seen making his way out. He is completely stoic, eyes focused on the ring and staring daggers at his opponent as he then begins to slowly make his way down the ramp and to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent… weighing in at 285 pounds… ‘THE GRIM REAPER’… SAMAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: As for Samael he’s been trying to get into the head of Minerva these past couple of weeks, and while she’s not exactly been all that fearful of him, we certainly know that she happily accepted everything that he asked for in terms of this match and the stipulation. Samael thrives in scenarios like these, and at the end of the night will we be seeing Minerva being burnt with ‘The Grim Reaper standing on top?
Persephone: Nah, how about they both light themselves on fire, wouldn’t that be fun?
(Both Elitists are in the ring, with the official at ringside flipping the breaker box and in an instant, the border of the squared circle, just at the edges of the ring apron, IGNITING in a fiery flame! The crowd erupts into thunderous cheers while the bell is signaled for this match to get underway.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: Our OPENING MATCH for Grand Rampage is officially underway, and what a hot start, figuratively and literally. The flames surround the ring, and I could only imagine how high they could get as this match goes on. But look at the two people in the ring, it’s like they don’t care about it at all!
(Minerva and Samael stare at one another across the ring, having not made a single move after the bell. They’re emotionless, while the crowd is all psyched up for this match and the event that they’re about to witness. After a while, the both of them begin to make their way out of the corner…)
Persephone: A bunch of mental asylum patients I tell you, one of them literally. I get that we moved our desk like three inches, but I still feel uncomfortable and my opinion matters more than anyone else’s!
James Peters: I think I don’t care and we should get into this match!
Persephone: :comeagain:
Rich Russillo: WELL WHILE YOU TWO WERE BICKERING, MINERVA AND SAMAEL HAVE JUST LUNGED AT EACH OTHER! Both of them are relentless on the offensive end, trading blows with one another while the crowd in Boston are on their feet! Minerva’s lightning quick strikes seem to be getting the better of Samael, as she begins to push him toward one of the corners! The former 24/7 Contract holder is forced to bring up his forearms, realizing the situation that he’s in and transitioning to defense! Minerva has him where she wants him, AND SAMAEL JUST TRIED TO THROW MINERVA AWAY, BUT MINERVA LANDS ON HER FEET BEFORE RUNNING IN AND HITTING A BICYCLE KICK!
James Peters: One thing that you have to take into account is the massive size difference between the two of them, that’s one thing that Samael is going to take advantage of and on the other hand a disadvantage that Minerva is going to have to work to fight against. Minerva has the offensive right now however, AND SHE DELIVERS ANOTHER BICYCLE KICK BEFORE HITTING MORE FOREARM SHOTS! MINERVA NOW RUNNING THE ROPES-
Persephone: BUT SAMAEL DROPS MINERVA WITH A BACK BODY DROP!
(The flames ignite around the ring, growing stronger for a moment before calming down. Minerva takes a hard landing but manages to slide up to a knee, taking a look around at the situation surrounding her. Meanwhile Samael is stoic, clearly not affected at all by the growing flames that encapsulate both Elitists.)
Persephone: You know if I wanted a tan I’d go to the beach, can we turn this down a little guys? Please?
Rich Russillo: Minerva pulls herself back up to her feet, WHILE SAMAEL RUSHES OVER IN TRANSITION AND LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE- But Minerva moves out of the way of that! He falls flat on his stomach but gets back up and maneuvers himself to face her, ONLY FOR MINERVA TO TRY A KICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD- But Samael sees that coming and manages to block the attempt with his forearm! This causes her to stumble back while grasping her ankle, WHILE SAMAEL STEPS FORWARD AND GRABS HER BY THE HEAD TO TRY AND CONNECT WITH A URANAGE-
James Peters: But that is unsuccessful with Minerva beginning to tee off with repeated elbow strikes to the side of his head! Samael’s attack is stopped for the moment and that allows her to slip out of the hold, BEFORE GRABBING HIM BY THE HEAD AND SLAMMING HIM DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS! The flames ignite once again while Samael is up in a seated position thanks to the whiplash, trying to push himself back up to his feet, but Minerva stops him from doing so by grabbing him by the head and beginning to tee off with hard rights toward the face!
Rich Russillo: Minerva trying to keep Samael leveled, but he’s not exactly responding to that very well as he connects with a punch to the abdomen that stops her attack! She takes a step back, BUT BEFORE SAMAEL CAN PUSH HIMSELF BACK UP TO HIS FEET, MINERVA RUSHES OVER AND GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD BEFORE PLANTING HIM DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS WITH A RUNNING STO! You can see the sweat beginning to bead down the face of the former EAW World Champion, not just because of this match and the offense that Samael has been able to get on her so far, but because of the wall of fire that surrounds her and her opponent which has to be just suffocating right now. This is definitely not a very preferable position to be in for her.
James Peters: Regardless, Minerva is back up to her feet, falling back against the corner and waiting for Samael to get back up as well. He manages to prop himself up onto a knee and that’s enough for Minerva to make her way over to him and continue her assault, BUT BEFORE SHE CAN DO ANYTHING, SAMAEL WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND HER WAIST AND LIFTS HER UP BEFORE RUNNING HER INTO THE CORNER! Minerva is slammed against the turnbuckle posts, immediately trying to go for strikes to his back to get him to loosen his grip, but he has absolutely zero intentions of doing so. Still keeping ahold of her, he pulls her out of the corner, BEFORE LAUNCHING HER ACROSS THE RING WITH A HUGE BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX-
Rich Russillo: BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO SLIP OUT BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND PLANTING HIS FACE DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG!
Persephone: You know, why is the Inferno match stipulation even a thing? Couldn’t we have something like a Scuba Diving Street Fight instead? That’s a lot better than this monstrosity and certainly wouldn’t burn me.
James Peters: Can you stop complaining for once and just enjoy this match?
Persephone: I can complain all I want, alright? I have a right to protest against wrongful behavior, my voice will be heard!
James Peters: :skip:
Rich Russillo: Samael is taken down to the canvas while Minerva approaches, grabbing a hold of him and bringing him back up. BUT BEFORE SHE CAN DO THAT COMPLETELY HE GRABS HER BY THE HEAD WITH A HEADLOCK TAKEDOWN! Minerva is down and Samael has a grounded headlock cinched in, trying to weaken her further! You can see Minerva gasping for air, trying to pull herself back up to her feet, which is something that she’s slowly beginning to do. Samael realizes that she’s beginning to fight, inching her closer and closer toward the ropes to make her feel that immense heat! But that doesn’t seem to affect Minerva as much as he anticipated, as now she’s beginning to send shots toward his abdomen in order to get him to release the hold that he has on her!
James Peters: Samael relents and staggers backward, trying to keep his ground, WHILE MINERVA STEPS TOWARD HIM WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW! ‘THE DEVIL’S TOUCH’ TO ATTACK!
Rich Russillo: BUT SAMAEL DUCKS UNDER THAT, GRABBING MINERVA AND LIFTING HER UP ONTO HER SHOULDERS! HE HAS HER IN A POWERBOMB POSITION AND LOOKS TO SEND HER STRAIGHT INTO THE FLAMES!
James Peters: But Minerva connects with a strike to the head, BEFORE LEAPFROGGING OVER HIS HEAD AND SLIPPING OUT OF THE POWERBOMB! She lands on her feet behind Samael while he turns around, GOING UNDER AND GRABBING HIM BY THE LEG BEFORE LIFTING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Rich Russillo: CLOSE CALL! Samael lands on the apron, the fire just inches away from the back of him, and I bet he realizes how lucky he is for that. He uses the ropes to get himself back up to his feet, Minerva taking a moment to recover and realizes the opportunity that she has at hand right now. She makes her way over, connecting with a hard right to his face to make sure that there’s no retaliation on his end! She then runs to the ropes and back… BEFORE GOING FOR A SHOULDER THRUST TO SEND HIM BACKWARD AND INTO THE FIRE!
James Peters: BUT BEFORE SHE CAN FULLY EXECUTE IT, SAMAEL HAS HER BY THE THROAT! KEEPING A HOLD OF THE ROPES AND PLANTING HIS FEET ON THE RING APRON, HE LIFTS HER UP AND DROPS MINERVA DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A BIG CHOKESLAM!
Rich Russillo: The inferno ignites into a fiery blaze just a few inches away from Samael, and once again he does not react to it at all. He enters back into the ring, circling around a downed Minerva who has rolled toward the center of the ring. She’s trying to recover back up to her feet before she can be hit with any more offense, but Samael already has his hand wrapped around her throat… LIFTING HER OFF OF THE GROUND AND LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A SECOND CHOKESLAM!
James Peters: BUT BEFORE HE CAN COMPLETELY LIFT HER UP, MINERVA SLAMS A ELBOW AGAINST THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD! This rocks Samael, forcing him to release the grip that he has on her, this allows Minerva to slip out of the hold, BEFORE GOING UNDER AND CONNECTING WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK! This dips Samael down to a knee while Minerva approaches, ONLY FOR HIM TO GRAB A HOLD OF HER AROUND THE WAIST- But before he can do anything, Minerva connects with a back elbow to the back of his head! Samael releases, BUT POPS MINERVA UP INTO THE AIR-
Rich Russillo: JUST FOR HER TO LAND ON HIS SHOULDERS AND TAKE HIM DOWN WITH A HURRICANRANA! Samael takes a hard tumble down to the ground, grabbing a hold of the bottom turnbuckle and pulling himself toward it before then using the ropes to get back up to his feet. Samael is propped up against the corner, WHILE MINERVA RUNS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE TO THE FACE! This once again stuns him as Minerva grabs him and throws him down to the canvas, presumably setting him up for something…
James Peters: BOUNCING OFF THE TOP ROPE AND GOING FOR THE ARABIAN PRESS! ‘HELL’S BELLS’!
Rich Russillo: WAIT! SAMAEL GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET JUST IN TIME AND HOLDS MINERVA UP ON THE TOP ROPE! He connects with a punch to keep her there, and this does not look good at all for the former EAW World Champion! Samael connects with repeated strikes to the back, not long after that beginning to scale the turnbuckles and join Minerva up there as well! He grabs around her waist, bringing her up along with him… BEFORE GOING FOR A BACK SUPERPLEX OFF OF THE TOP!
James Peters: NO! Minerva connects with back elbow strikes to the face before he can execute it, keeping herself semi-grounded on the top turnbuckle! She continues to show some fight, repeatedly striking Samael in the face as she turns around, facing him while still on the top turnbuckle! They’re holding onto one another for balance, trading blows to no end, hoping to get the advantage over the other so that they won’t meet immediate doom! AND THAT SEEMS TO BE GOING IN THE FAVOR OF MINERVA AS SHE CONNECTS WITH A HEADBUTT TO THE SKULL! She then begins to set him up, what in the world could she be going for here…
Rich Russillo: NO WAY! MINERVA WITH ALL THE STRENGTH THAT SHE HAS LEFT, LIFTS SAMAEL AND SPINS HIM AROUND BEFORE JUMPING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE WITH A TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER! AVALANCHE ‘TPK’, WHAT A MANEUVER!
(REPLAY: Minerva turns herself around on the top rope, breaking the attack with a headbutt to Samael. She then goes under, using the momentum that she has to lift Samael up, before propelling herself off of the turnbuckle padding and narrowly spinning her around, spiking his head down onto the canvas with the Tombstone Piledriver. The fire is seen erupting into a wall of flames upon impact, the crowd erupting into thunderous cheers.)
Persephone: :francis: This is getting ridiculous.
James Peters: Both Elitists are down, and Minerva knows she can capitalize right here! But the facts don’t lie and the fact is that this match has taken a whole lot out of her! She’s crawling over to Samael, trying to see if she can roll him out of the ring and preferably into the flames to set him on fire, but right now it seems like she’s just going to have to settle with the move connecting as she shifts to trying to get back up to her feet before he does. Samael is starting to stir but you can tell that it’s getting progressively harder trying to fight the storm that is Minerva in this match.
Rich Russillo: But we know Samael, and we know the level of competition that has faced in the past, we’ll just have to see. Minerva is back up to her feet, grabbing at Samael and beginning to heave him back up to his feet. He grabs him by the arm, looking to send him to a corner with an Irish whip- But before he can do that, he manages to drop his weight and plant his feet to the ground! Minerva pulls at his wrist, BUT REALIZES THAT’LL DO NO GOOD AS SHE GOES UNDER AND GOES FOR A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE KNEECAP-
James Peters: Samael manages to move out of the way though, still keeping a hold of the wrist before pulling her up and sending her to a corner with an Irish whip of his own! He turns around to face her… BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND LEAPING INTO THE AIR FOR A CORNER BODY SPLASH!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA MOVES! She escapes out of the corner while Samael collides chest first! She then turns around and runs toward him, ONLY FOR SAMAEL TO GO UNDER AND GRAB HER AROUND THE WAIST, LIFTING HER OFF THE GROUND AND CONNECTING WITH SNAKE EYES ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Minerva bounces out of the corner, but Samael already has a hold of her, pulling her away from the turnbuckles and setting her up for something big…
Persephone: NO! MINERVA SLIPS BEHIND SAMAEL AND DELIVERS A SWINGING NECKBREAKER!
James Peters: The fire ignites once again and you just have to wonder what kind of effect this has on both of them. At this point with the amount of time that they’ve been in the ring it has to have been suffocating, like being in a burning building. Surely they know when to quit when enough is enough, right?
Persephone: :roman: You’d be surprised…
Rich Russillo: Minerva pulls herself back up to her feet, still feeling the effects of this match. SAMAEL is back up as well, but the only thing that he gets is a punch toward the abdomen by Minerva in an attempt to create distance between the two while she recovers. It’s not really received well though, AS SAMAEL RUSHES FORWARD AND BOOTS HER IN THE FACE- WAIT NO! Minerva managed to counter it as she ducks under before elbowing him in the back of the head! Minerva grabs Samael by the arm and turns him around- BUT HE GRABS HER BY THE HEAD AND SPIKES HER DOWN WITH A DDT!
Persephone: KWBWKDOWNSOSNWOSN! ‘REX EFFECT’! ‘REX EFFECT’!
James Peters: Minerva is down on the ground, grabbing her head in pain but despite that still finding the strength in her to get back up to her feet. If I was Samael, I’d be frustrated at how much she has left to give. He brings her back up to her feet once again, but it seems like Minerva’s self defense mechanism has kicked in, breaking through his barrier and beginning to send a barrage of right hands toward the face of Samael! He’s taken aback by the attacks, trying to respond but Minerva is throwing everything that she has at him with some lightning quick offense! Samael has had enough though, GRABBING HER BY THE HEAD AND DRIVING HIS KNEE INTO HER ABDOMEN! This doubles Minerva over while he runs to the ropes and back… LEAPING THROUGH THE AIR AND GOING FOR A RUNNING CROSSBODY-
Rich Russillo: BUT MINERVA GRABS A HOLD OF HIM AND USES THE MOMENTUM TO SWING HIM AROUND AND CONNECT WITH A HUGE POWERSLAM MANEUVER! She’s fired up now as she makes her way over and grabs a grounded Samael into a headlock, bringing her back up to her feet while also grabbing a hold of the leg. It makes you ask what in the world Minerva has in mind in order to keep him down…
James Peters: ‘THE SIREN’S LONELY SONG’! FISHERMAN’S CROSS-LEGGED SNAP DDT DROPS SAMAEL DOWN!
(The flames erupt the highest that they have in this match, once again creating a huge wall around the ring upon impact. Minerva connects with the finishing move, barely able to sit herself up as she looks around. She knows that she can’t win this match by regular pinfall or submission, and that she’s going to have to find out a way to throw Samael into the fire to get the victory.)
Persephone: I’m tired of this, THROW HIM OUT ALREADY!
Rich Russillo: Well I’ll give you one thing Perse, if Minerva could she would. But right now it’s taken a lot out of her just to get back up to her feet, she’s grabbing Samael and heaving him back up as well… RUNNING HIM FORWARD AND LOOKING TO THROW HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE!
James Peters: SHE DOES!
Persephone: OH THANK GAWD!
Rich Russillo: BUT SAMAEL LANDS ON THE APRON!
Persephone: DAMMIT!
James Peters: Samael is barely able to grab onto the top rope and keep himself on there, fighting for his life to stay in this match.
Rich Russillo: BUT MINERVA RUNS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A SHOULDER THRUST TO THE ABDOMEN TO FINISH THE JOB! IT CONNECTS…
James Peters: BUT SAMAEL HOLDS ON! He nearly lost grip and plummeted into the fire, but he held on, absorbing the shot! He pulls himself closer toward the ropes while Minerva steps back and stares in anger!
Rich Russillo: CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER SHOULDER THRUST!
James Peters: BUT SAMAEL CONTINUES TO HOLD ON! Minerva can’t believe her eyes right now! The pain that just has to be running through his body, it just means absolutely nothing! She takes a step back, making her way back over again to look to do something to make him finally give in-
Rich Russillo: SAMAEL GRABS HER BY THE MOUTH! ‘DEATH ROW’! MANDIBLE CLAW!
James Peters: BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO BREAK FREE AND CONNECT WITH A HEEL KICK TO THE HEAD TO DAZE SAMAEL! He holds on once more while Minerva approaches, ONLY FOR SAMAEL TO GO UNDER AND CONNECT WITH A SHOULDER THRUST OF HIS OWN! He then proceeds to slowly walk on the apron, and it seems like he’s beginning to make his way up to the top rope…
Persephone: This is NOT Free Willy please get down from there.
Rich Russillo: Samael is on the top rope, looking to take Minerva down who is still stirring from what happened earlier! HE LEAPS OFF…
James Peters: MINERVA! MINERVA JUST RAN FORWARD AND SHOVED HIM OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND SEND HIM PLUMMETING DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE AREA!
Rich Russillo: I don’t think she’s done either…
(Minerva eyes Samael who is hurt and downed on the outside, stepping through the ropes and standing on the apron as she grabs a hold of the turnbuckle, looking back at her opponent occasionally…)
Rich Russillo: ARABIAN PRESS OFF OF THE ROPES AND TO THE OUTSIDE! ‘HELL’S BELLS’ CONNECTS AS MINERVA JUST LEAPED OVER THE FIERY INFERNO TO CRUSH SAMAEL UNDERNEATH HER!
(Minerva is down and grabbing her abdomen in pain, shaking her head before then proceeding to get back up to her feet, grabbing Samael by the head and bringing him up as well.)
James Peters: MINERVA IS SETTING HIM UP FOR YET ANOTHER ‘THE SIREN’S LONELY SONG’!
Rich Russillo: BUT SAMAEL SLIPS OUT AND TAKES A STEP BACK…
James Peters: ‘BLOOD DONATION’! RUNNING BIG BOOT TO THE HEAD OF MINERVA!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT!
…
…
…
James Peters: THE DEVIL’S TOUCH TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! SAMAEL FALLS FORWARD RIGHT INTO THE FIRE! HE’S BURNING UP! MINERVA WINS! MINERVA WINS!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ begins to blast through the speakers once again while officials immediately begin to swarm the ringside area with fire extinguishers to put out the fire. Samael is burnt badly thanks to the contact and he’s rolling around in pain while he’s tended to. Minerva simply looks on, slowly a smirk beginning to appear on her face as she comes to the realization that she’s the winner of this matchup.)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… MINERVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: https://youtu.be/yCMqcFAigRg
Rich Russillo: Wow! What an ending to this match! Samael put up a fight there is absolutely no doubt about that. But in the end it was clear throughout that Minerva had the upper hand on him, and her experience and in-ring abilities gave her the edge that she needed to finish the job and send Samael to the inferno to get the victory.
James Peters: A fiery start to the Grand Rampage event as the one that comes out on top tonight is none other than Minerva. She says it herself, “My Heaven, Your Hell” and certainly gave Samael a dose of that here tonight. Congratulations on the victory!
(Minerva is seen making her way around the ringside area and taking her leave, continuing to have a smirk on her face while her hand is raised in victory. It is the last shot seen before Grand Rampage begins to fade out from there.)
( Grand Rampage returns from a quick commercial break as the graphic of the upcoming contest shows up. )
( ‘They Call Me A God’ by NEFFEX starts playing as Ms. Extreme, Dominion, Xander Payne and Ryan Joseph Wilson follow one another onto the stage. The three competitors gather at the center of the platform and exchange nods before making their way to the ring in unison. )
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FOLLOWING 3-ON-3 CONTEST IS A NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH! THE ONLY WAY TO WIN IS BY PINFALL OR SUBMISSION AND ANYTHING GOES IN THIS MATCH! INTRODUCING FIRST!…. THE TEAM OF DOMINION, EAW HALL OF FAMER, XANDER PAYNE & RYAN JOSEPH WILSON…. AND ‘THE PROBLEM CHILD’ !!!!…. MS EXTREMEEEEE!!!!!!!!
( “All three enter the ring as Xander throws his hand up for both of his teammates and signals that he’s going to kick things off as their legal competitor before “Just Stop” by Disturbed replaces Ms. Extreme’s theme music, causing everyone to turn their heads towards the stage. Ms. Extreme, in particular, scowls as The Devolution – Pandora Paisley, Jon Kelton, and Amir Yusuf – make their entrance. Pandora wears a big smile as she looks down at Ms. Extreme, while Kelton and Yusuf maintain their usual serious expressions. The group heads towards the ring together, with Xander already in the corner, preparing for the match. )
Gina Romano: AND THEIR OPPONENTS!…. THE TEAM OF “THE HELLCAT” PANDORA PAISLEY!… “CHOSEN ONE” JON KELTON!… AND “THE IRREPLACEABLE” AMIR YUSUF!… THEY ARE!… THE DEVOLUTION!
( Pandora, Kelton, and Amir enter the ring together. Amir leans in and whispers something to Pandora, who smiles and nods in response before patting his arm. She then turns to Kelton and shares the news. Kelton nods in agreement and climbs behind the ropes with Pandora, announcing that Amir will be the first legal competitor for The Devolution. )
( DING DING DING! )
Gavin Kirkland: THREE ON THREE TAG MATCH IS UNDERWAY AND BOTH TEAMS WASTE NO TIME GOING AT EACH OTHER.

Kelton is still in the corner, and now Pandora steps up to the apron….
( TAG! )
Gavin Kirkland: A tag is made, and Pandora enters the ring as the legal competitor for her team. Amir continues to rain blows on Xander, and Pandora jumps in to add her own punishing strikes, building up a crescendo of boos from the outraged crowd witnessing their vicious assault!

Great submission maneuver by Pandora, showcasing her strategic prowess in the ring right there!
Deadprez: Amir quickly goes behind the ropes while Kelton pulls the middle rope, helping himself back to his feet on the apron. On the opposite side, Ryan and Ms. Extreme help each other to get themselves back to the apron. Ryan ascends to the apron and proceeds to lift Xander’s spirit as he finds himself in a precarious situation with Pandora in the ring.
Eve: Xander, at the moment, is going through the motions with the submission hold that Pandora is applying right now. Ryan yells at Xander, trying to make him come close to his corner. Xander reaches his hand out, but Pandora quickly releases the hold and takes down Ryan and Ms. Extreme with a forearm smash to both competitors. Ryan and Ms. Extreme fall to the outside, while Xander gets himself back to his feet. Pandora starts turning her attention back to Xander…..
Gavin Kirkland: A SUPERKICK FROM XANDER PAYNE TO PANDORA PAISLEY! Kelton quickly enters the ring, with Xander turning his attention back to him. Kelton tries to jump Xander, but Xander ducks under and clotheslines him to the outside. Kelton scrambles back up to his feet, but Ryan grabs him from behind and slams him into the barricade. Ms. Extreme reaches under the ring for a steel chair AND TAKES KELTON DOWN WITH A CHAIR SHOT TO HIS HEAD!
Deadprez: Amir goes into the ring and quickly hammers Xander with both hands, trying to make him stay on both knees as Xander is just about to reach his feet.

XANDER POPS AMIR ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND DRIVES HIM TO THE GROUND WITH A POP-UP DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!
Eve: Ms. Extreme enters the ring, steel chair in hand, with Ryan following closely behind. Ryan calls out to Xander, who picks Amir up off the ground and tosses him toward Ms. Extreme. She drops the chair and catches Amir, running towards the ropes. Bouncing off the middle rope, MS. EXTREME PLANTS AMIR’S FACE RIGHT ONTO THE STEEL CHAIR SHE JUST DROPPED WITH A SPRINGBOARD BULLDOG! Great teamwork skills there by Dominion & Ms. Extreme!
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora gets back to her feet with all three opponents standing against her. She looks absolutely fearless and runs towards all of them, but Ryan steps in and catches her with an arm drag, tossing her towards Xander who is standing behind him. Xander catches her and throws her up into the air before dropping her to the canvas with a Sit-Out Michinoku Driver!
Deadprez: Jon Kelton recovers from the chair shot he took earlier, gets back into the ring and quickly charges at Ms. Extreme, throwing a punch at her. Xander grabs him and turns him around, but Kelton greets him with another punch! Ryan steps in, but Kelton also catches him with a punch as well!
Eve: Kelton finds himself in a 3 on 1 situation. Ms. Extreme grabs Kelton from behind and tries to go for a German Suplex, but Kelton manages to wriggle out of Ms. Extreme’s attempted German suplex and throws her towards Xander like a ragdoll! Xander catches Ms. Extreme safely. Xander catches Ms. Extreme safely. Ryan is trying to go for a Backdrop Suplex on Kelton from behind, but Kelton counters with a back elbow to Ryan. He reaches for a steel chair, TURNS BACK AROUND, AND SMACKS RYAN RIGHT ACROSS HIS HEAD WITH A STEEL CHAIR IN HIS HANDS!
Gavin Kirkland: Xander gently puts down Ms. Extreme and steps in to charge Kelton with a Knife Edge Chop, but Kelton blocks Xander’s right hand with a Steel chair as Xander is just slapping the chair’s surface instead! Xander backs away, holding down his hand in pain. Kelton tosses a chair for Xander to catch, and he catches the chair tossed by Kelton, but before he can react, KELTON CHARGES AT HIM AND LANDS A DEVASTATING SINGLE LEG KNEE STRIKE THROUGH THE STEEL CHAIR INTO XANDER’S FACE!
Deadprez: Ms. Extreme reaches both feet as Kelton grabs a steel chair from Xander’s hand. Ms. Extreme jumps towards Kelton, but he quickly turns around and drives the steel chair right into Ms. Extreme’s mid-air gut! Ms. Extreme stumbles back, and Kelton continues to attack her with a chair shot right onto her spine!
Eve: Kelton quickly drops the chair behind him and seizes Ms. Extreme as soon as possible. Kelton sends Ms. Extreme flying high into the air and drops the back of her neck right onto the steel chair that he dropped earlier with a sitout Brainbuster! Kelton manages to handle three competitors from the opposite team all by himself, and now his teammates are coming back to their feet on the outside. Amir and Pandora help each other get back up before both them separately to different ways to pick up a different target here.
Gavin Kirkland: Remember, this is a no-disqualification match, and anything goes as both sides fight with everything they have to win by pinfall or submission. Everybody is now on the outside and it seems like they will continue to take action down here. Kelton goes for Xander, Amir goes for Ryan, and Pandora goes for Ms. Extreme. Pandora picks Ms. Extreme off the ground before lifting her up and planting her face right onto the apron! Amir grabs Ryan by his head before driving it into the ringpost, while Kelton picks up Xander and pushes him, making Xander’s back crash into the edge of the apron!
Deadprez: Pandora starts searching under the ring to find something useful, while Kelton joins Amir’s side and starts beating up Ryan, who had his face driven into the ring post a few seconds ago. Xander holds his back and tries to come back to his feet, but Kelton quickly forces him to stay down with a boot right across his jaw!
Eve: Things are not looking good for Dominion and Ms. Extreme as Devolution has gained a big advantage and is using it to its fullest in this match. Pandora starts reaching for something under the ring… is that a chain she’s grabbing?
Gavin Kirkland: YES IT IS! PANDORA DOESN’T WASTE ANY TIME AND STARTS MAKING IT EXTREME FOR MS. EXTREME, SWINGING THE CHAIN AND LASHING MS. EXTREME’S BACK WITH IT! THE HELLCAT IS MAKING MS. EXTREME’S LIFE FEEL LIKE HELL RIGHT NOW!
( The crowd started cheering loudly as the camera quickly cuts to where their attention is focused, revealing Kelton keeping Xander down while Amir pulls a table out from under the ring and sets it up. )
Deadprez: Oh brother, now this is what I like about this type of match! More and more weapons are coming into play, and I’m glad that Disney isn’t brave enough to make this a water park match or whatever they think it’s good for children! Otherwise, we wouldn’t have a chance to see this type of match again here in EAW! Kelton starts pulling Xander back to his feet, with Amir joining him…. BOTH MEN START LIFTING HIM UP, LOOKING FOR A DOUBLE POWERBOMB TO TAKE XANDER OUT EARLIER IN THE MATCH!
Eve: XANDER WAKES UP JUST IN TIME AND STARTS FIGHTING BACK! He connects with a back elbow to Amir, who is beside him, and then hits Kelton with another elbow on repeat to the top of his head, forcing him to release Xander from the position.

GRABBING AMIR AND LOOKING FOR A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX THROUGH THE TABLE!
Eve: FROM BEHIND! Pandora lashes Ryan hard with the chain, causing him to drop to both knees! Ryan fails to hold on to Amir and Pandora starts torturing and punishing him further, with more chain shots lashing his back, continuing to make him pay for his actions!
Gavin Kirkland: I want to be Ryan.
Deadprez: Haha, no.
Gavin Kirkland: :francis:
Deadprez: Pandora is going absolutely relentless against Ryan, showing a level of hatred that even surpasses Kelton’s! She wraps the chain around Ryan’s neck and starts choking him, determined to keep him down as Ryan appears to be in a terrible state, and it remains uncertain whether he will be able to escape the punishment!
Eve: Here come Kelton and Amir, joining Pandora’s side, and now all three jump on Ryan and beat the hell out of him! Pandora keeps making Ryan fade on the outside while Kelton and Amir keep raining down a bunch of stomps on Ryan there! This is absolutely brutal to see out here but there is nothing we can do about it besides watching!
( Pandora sets Ryan free as he collapses to the ground like a sack of potatoes, looking completely knocked out. Amir picks him up off the ground while Kelton hops up to the apron and prepares for something, his eyes locked on the table that has been set up for a while. Both Pandora and Amir get Ryan up to the apron and then let Kelton handle the situation. )

Eve: Pandora rolls back into the ring, with Ms. Extreme in hot pursuit. Ms. Extreme backs herself into a corner, biding her time as Pandora struggles to her feet. PANDORA TURNS AROUND AND MS. EXTREME SWINGS THE CHAIN AT HER, BUT PANDORA LEAPS INTO THE AIR, HITTING A SPINNING HEEL KICK THAT CATCHES MS. EXTREME COMPLETELY OFF-GUARD!
Deadprez: Pandora swiftly gets back on her feet after taking down Ms. Extreme and crawls towards her, helping her opponent up to a standing position. Pandora then notices the chain lying on the ground, and drags it towards her, folding it and placing it behind her feet. She turns her attention back to Ms. Extreme, delivering a kick to the gut before pulling her in to set up her signature neckbreaker variation named ‘BLACK PUDDING’ !!!!-
Gavin Kirkland: XANDER IS BACK WITH TOSSING A STEEL CHAIR STRAIGHT INTO PANDORA’S FACE FROM OUTSIDE THE RING, CAUSING HER TO STUMBLE AND IMMEDIATELY RELEASE MS. EXTREME!!!!! Xander slides into the ring as Pandora leans against the ropes, holding her head in pain. Pandora then steps away from the ropes and walks towards Xander as he quickly hoists her up and carries her towards the chain that had been dropped earlier…..

KELTON RUNS TO THE LEFT, AND AMIR TO THE RIGHT BEFORE BOTH MEN HIT A DOUBLE SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT ON XANDER!
Deadprez: Kelton and Amir perfectly execute a double springboard moonsault, leaving Xander out cold for a little while there. Kelton now has his sights set on Ms. Extreme. She comes back to her feet as Kelton quickly rises to his feet and closes in on her, beckoning Amir to join him. Amir goes standing behind him as Kelton seizes Ms. Extreme and hurls her towards him…. AMIR CATCHES HER IN MID-RUN AND DROPS HER DOWN ONTO THE MAT WITH A SPECTACULAR SPANISH FLY!

Ryan looks up to Kelton as he goes for a running single knee to take him down, but Ryan sidesteps, almost causing Kelton to hit Amir with his knee!
Amir Yusuf: (Off-Mic) :whoa: It’s me, bro!
Eve: Kelton turns his back to Ryan, but he quickly catches Kelton off guard… RYAN SETS KELTON ON HIS SHOULDER AND DROPS HIM TO THE GROUND WITH A THUNDEROUS RUNNING POWERSLAM! Amir bounces off the ropes, attempting a high-flying move, but RYAN ANTICIPATES THE MOVE AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A WELL-TIMED DROPKICK IN MID-AIR!
Deadprez: Ryan pops back to his feet as soon as possible while holding his gut. Pandora joins the ring and tries to run at him, but Ryan pulls down the top rope, causing Pandora to fall to the outside. Amir is recovering from the dropkick, but Ryan turns his attention back to him. Ryan picks Amir off the ground and starts raining down elbow smashes on him, sending him into the corner as he immediately connects Amir with a jaw-breaking Helluva Kick!
Gavin Kirkland: Ryan is handling all three men by himself, while Ms. Extreme rolls down to the outside and starts looking for stuff under the ring to help Ryan. Ryan notices this, and after dropping Amir to the ground with a snapmare, he quickly heads to where Ms. Extreme is….
( Ms. Extreme looks at Ryan and start smiling devilishly. )
Ms. Extreme: 😈
Gavin Kirkland: Ms. Extreme tosses something at Ryan- wait what is that?
Eve: I saw one of those…. In Bruce Lee movies before. :oh:
( The crowd cheers loudly as Ryan raises up a pair of nunchaku that we often see in kung fu movies. Ryan starts swinging them like a professional and then turns his attention back to Amir, who is starting to come back to his feet. )
Ryan Joseph Wilson: (Off-Mic) Get ready to learn some **REAL** Chinese, buddy.

Eve: Amir backs against the corner as Ryan swings a pair of nunchaku up high in the air, and the crowd absolutely loves it! It’s not often that we see this kind of weapon in EAW, and I think it’s great that we get a chance to witness it here, all thanks to Ryan Wilson! :blessed: Ryan then repositions himself and looks to keep attacking Amir-

Deadprez: Amir is down, but Pandora is still on her feet, although she’s hurt from getting her back pushed into the barricade earlier. Xander takes his time and starts getting things out from under the ring…. and I think the crowd is going to love this one a lot.
( The crowd goes insanely wild this time as Xander pulls out a pile of light tubes out from under the ring and sliding them into the ring. )
Gavin Kirkland: Oh boy, I think Disney is going to kill Showdown after whatever this is, but who knows? Anything is possible as I doubt it because the worse has already happened at Territorial Invasion last year. Xander grabs Pandora and tosses her back inside the ring as Pandora immediately crawls down to secretly grab one of the light tubes from under the ring…..

Gavin Kirkland: Wow… what a sore loser!
Crowd: ONE MORE TIME! ONE MORE TIME! ONE MORE TIME!
Eve: Jon Kelton is complying now as he bashes Xander and Ryan repeatedly on the ground with the chair! But suddenly he is stopped by Amir Yusuf who grabs the chair from him!
Gavin Kirkland: Good. I’m glad that Amir Yusuf intervened to stop Jon Kelton’s disgusting display of unsportsmanship. Truly barbaric behavior on disp-
Deadprez: But now Amir Yusuf is bashing Xander Payne and Ryan Wilson in the necks with the chair! He is really driving it in directly into their larynx!
Gavin Kirkland: What the… why isn’t Ms. Extreme doing anything about this?
Eve: Come to think of it where even is Ms. Extreme? Or Pandora Paisley for that matter? Just a little bit ago we saw them break the barricade and spill out into the crowd and now they are nowhere to be seen!
(Suddenly cameras cut to the backstage area where Ms. Extreme and Pandora Paisley are shown continuing to brawl in the parking lot.)
Deadprez: What the… how did they even get back there? Have they been brawling through the arena this entire time?
Eve: It looks like it! These two women are trying to kill each other! Ms. Extreme just tossed Pandora right into a car windshield and bashed her head into it leaving a huge crack! That fan is not going to have a happy surprise waiting for them after the show!
Gavin Kirkland: What the… leave that car alone!
Deadprez: Ms. Extreme just opened the door of the car and piles of trash fell out! Extreme puts Pandora’s arm into the door and slams it shut!
Eve: Whoever’s car this is really needs to do a better job cleaning it up. It is covered in mud and looks like it hasn’t been taken to the shop in at least a decade. Did they drive here with flat tires?
Gavin Kirkland: I wouldn’t know anything about that. Why are you looking at me?
Deadprez: But Pandora pulls her arm out of the way just in time to avoid that attack from Ms. Extreme! Pandora kicks Extreme back but she is relentless and charges towards Pandora up against the hood of the car!–
Eve: But Pandora Paisley connects with a Sparta Kick to the gut of Ms. Extreme sending her flying backwards!!!–
Gavin Kirkland: OH NO LOOK OUT!!!
(As Ms. Extreme goes flying backwards from the force of the Sparta Kick suddenly a moving vehicle is shown coming down the aisle of the parking lot! The car is moving at an unreasonably fast speed for a parking lot and slams right into the back of Ms. Extreme as she falls backwards into the moving vehicle. The force of the car sends Ms. Extreme flying outwards with force as she slaps up against the pavement landing on the back of her neck and twisting backwards in a manner that looks very painful for her spine.)
Pandora Paisley: :lupe: !!!
Eve: Oh my god! She killed her! Ms. Extreme just got run over by a car! We need emergency medical support right now!
???: Oh my! Not again! These people really need to learn to get out of the road! Oh come on! Ugh call my lawyer. Let them take care of it because I really don’t have time for these people and their carelessness. It is called a PARKING LOT honey. We drive here okay? So maybe get out of the way of the moving vehicles?
(The door to the moving car opens as Kennedy Street exits the car talking on her iPhone.)
Kennedy Street: I mean obviously it was an accident. Obviously not my fault so this idiot if she is even still alive is going to have to pay for it. Today has NOT been my day. This is really the last thing that I needed. I mean I should have been at the show a long time ago. But I got held up at the airport due to the shi- I mean the weather was just awful! And those airport staff! Boston Airport is not sending their finest. Let me tell you I had to have more than one word with their manager and many people there will not be seeing employment again! Ugh! You there…
(Kennedy Street gestures towards Pandora Paisley with a half-hearted wrist waving motion.)
Kennedy Street: Don’t just stand there honey. I mean really… do you not have a heart? Help her up already!
(Pandora Paisley looks confused for a moment clearly in shock from what just happened before rushing over and pulling Ms. Extreme back up to her feet. Ms. Extreme is clearly unable to even stand as Pandora picks her up. Pandora leans her up against a nearby car in a sitting position in order to prevent her from falling over.)
Kennedy Street: I mean I barely even nudged her. This is so dramatic. She doesn’t need to be sitting like that. Just pull her up. Up to her feet.
Pandora Paisley: :wtf:
(Pandora Paisley tries to stand Ms. Extreme up but she is unable to stand and falls forward onto Pandora with her arms draped across the shoulders.)
Kennedy Street: See look. She’s standing! Perfectly fine!
Pandora Paisley: :mjgrin:
Kennedy Street: :mjgrin:
Eve: NO! NO! PANDORA PAISLEY JUST HIT THE CATastrophe!!! Pandora driving Ms. Extreme’s skull down into the concrete floor of the parking lot!!!
Kennedy Street: Oh my! I guess she couldn’t stand up after all… I guess we might be needing some help out here wouldn’t you say? Help! Help! We need medics over here! I mean I don’t see anyone else around. Oh well they will probably find her out here eventually. Come on, I have a show to run.
(Kennedy Street is shown unloading her things from her vehicle and handing the keys off to an assistant to finish parking as she leaves with Pandora Paisley. The two are shown laughing as they go.)
Eve: Come on, we need help back there!!
(Deadprez is shown gesturing to the ringside doctor who is shown making a call on his phone. A few moments later a slew of medical staff and officials are shown swarming into the parking lot and surrounding Ms. Extreme.)
Medical Official: Oh this is not good…
Official: WE NEED AN AMBULANCE RIGHT NOW!
(The camera fades to black.)

Stephie Love: THIS NEXT MATCH IS SET FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( ‘Princess Diana’ by Ice Spice feat. Nicki Minaj. Began BLASTING through the speakers toa HUGE array of cheers, that would’ve drowned out even the LOUDEST of boo’s, as slowly, coming from the right side of the titan-tron; a dark blue hummer began to roll up on the side of the stage, also blasting ‘Princess Diana’ through out it, driven by a chauffeur, as Milli Banks could be seen passenger side; wearing white and gold accented shades, and as the car came to a complete stop; you could also notice she was in a similar yellow and gold bodysuit, complimenting the colors of the Specialist’s Championship itself; with Milli Banks taking a moment to look around the arena, a grin on her face as her demeanor just SCREAMED determined. )
( But lining the ramps would be dancers, going all the way down the ramp as they shimmied, milli-rocked :mjgrin:, and… Twerked ( The appropriate Disney Amount ) for their head honcho, Milil Banks who began making her way down to the ring, exchanging words with certain dancers who just grinned, continuing to vibe out to Milli’s theme, as Banks finally made her way fully down the ramp, taking off her shades and throwing them into the crowd for a lucky fan to catch, as she slowly began to climb up the apron, splitting the ropes before walking through as she began to stretch her limbs, refocusing on the task at hand, staring at the titan-tron before Aria even had the chance of entering as she breathed in, refocusing as slowly the dancers would clear out; the challenger ready to meet the champion. )
Stephie Love: AND INTRODUCING FIRST… THE CHALLENGER, HAILING FROM BROOKLYN, NEW YORK… SHE IS, ‘THE IT GIRL’…. MILLIIIIIIII BANKSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
Stew-O: So… we gonna talk about that?
Jake Mercer: Where do we start, the hummer, the theme, or the fact I think those are Nicki Minaj’s actual back-up dancers?
Flannery McCoy: I mean we COULD talk about those things, OR we could talk about Milli Banks! Ya know, the one IN the match? Look at her, look at her composure, look at her FOCUS; she is ready for this match, she is ready for Aria, and she is READY to win this Specialist’s Championship!
Jake Mercer: I’d hope so! She needs to be on her A-Game. She needs to be Big Bills Mills’, and she can NOT be the same Milli Banks who last at Justified Reckoning or Road to Redemption, REGARDLESS of how those losses happened. She is facing a VERY game Champion, and anything less than BEYOND her best? Isn’t good enough.
( As ‘Princess Diana’ faded out, ‘MEGITSUNE’ blasted through the speakers to an absolute UPROAR of cheers, as THE SPECIALIST CHAMPION, Aria began to make her way out towards the ring via Gorilla Position; wearing a blue and blue color schemed gear, accened by blue face paint directly under her eyes; as Aria carried the Specialist Championship around her shoulder, looking at it lovingly, before looking at Milli Banks and knowing the task at hand; as she took a breath in, before beginning to walk down the ramp; sending high fives to the people in the front row of the crowd; a composed nature to the Champion, confident and calculated knowing the task at hand wasn’t an easy one; but one she needed to topple. )
( Slowly, Aria would make her way fully to the side of the ring, getting in front of the apron that was highlighted by the hard-cam, as she hopped on top of it; aiming out towards the camera as she slowly began peeling off the Specialist’s Championship from her shoulder, staring at it once more, before looking forward yet again and raising it high in the air; triggering a HEAVY level of pyro into the air for the Champion as Aria grinned, looking as the sparks flew in the sky, before Aria finally got into the ring; savoring her moment with the title before finally giving it to the ref, sharing a look with Milli as she did so as she entered her corner, ready for the fight of her life. )
Stephie Love: AND INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT…. THE SPECIALIST’S CHAMPION… HAILING FROM CHANDLER, ARIZONA…. ‘’THE SACRED DETECTIVE’….. ARRRIIIAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Stew-O: And there goes the Champion, the woman to DETHRONE Serenity Valdez against the odds at Road to Redemption, the woman to TOPPLE Sierra Everett at Tempest, and the woman to BEAT Lexi in her first bout whilst defending the Specialist’s Championship – and tonight? Tonight Aria wants to grow her legacy by adding another name to that list, that name being the one of Milli Banks!
Jake Mercer: And Stew? I would be lying if I said Aria didn’t have a serious chance of doing that. Aria has been reaching uncapped levels of radiance in that ring, and now? Now I only see her going further up to a level HIGH above the rest of our current women’s division – and how I see it? If Milli Banks doesn’t do this tonight, the pool for people who can? Get’s very small.
Flannery McCoy: Agreed, if Aria topples this mountain? I could see her reign going on a couple more months, and with that? Aria has the opportunity to set herself as the GREATEST Specialist’s Champion of all time; an accolade I’m sure she wants, and whether or not she gets that foot in the door tonight? Time shall only tell.
( Ding! Ding! Ding)
Stew-O: SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP TIME, MILLI BANKS VS ARIA, CHAMPION VS CHALLENGER, LETS GO!
Jake Mercer: I can tell you’re excited Stew, but who ISN’T excited for this?! This is a dream match for ANY EAW Viewer – understand that right now these are two EXTREMELY talented women; but not JUST two talented women – two women who both want the SAME thing, the coveted Specialist’s Championship that has put CAREERS CEMENTED in EAW history; ala Brody Sparks, Andrea Valentine, Serenity Valdez, Miku Sakai, I mean the list goes ON!
Jake Mercer: This is history incarnate, with Aria trying to prolong her trip on Champion’s row, and Milli Banks trying to bust down the proverbial door and make her OWN way onto the title scene, don’t down play it, don’t overlook it – Aria vs Milli Banks is about to STEAL the show!
Flannery McCoy: I couldn’t agree more, and now? I think the moment is FINALLY hitting both Aria and Milli Banks, as the two begin to circle the ring; and yet? I don’t think they’re even focused on each other! No, I believe this Boston crowd has attracted BOTH of their attention!
Crowd: LET’S GO ARIA! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO ARIA! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO ARIA! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Stew-O: Seems like the crowd tonight here favors towards the champion –
Crowd: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Jake Mercer: You stand VERY corrected, Stew! This arena can’t seem to properly choose a side if they wanted to! Milli and Aria are at a fifty fifty split with the crowd tonight, but even so?This place sounds like it’s going to blow its TOP off!
Flannery McCoy: And those emotions must be hitting BOTH of these girls hard, as the two share a glance with each other; neither one having a word being said between one another, just a nod to each other; with Milli Banks growing a grin, and Aria rolling her shoulders; relaxing herself, as now I think it’s time these two got to work!
Jake Mercer: Seems so, Flann’! As now, Milli Banks and Aria are looking for a traditional start to this match, as both Elitist reach out for one another… Before locking up in a collar and elbow tie-up! Milil and Aria fighting for strength supremacy here, as neither one of these two are pushing the other forwards or backwards; a COMPLETE stalemate here!
Stew-O: Seems like it, with Milli Banks and Aria seemingly holding nothing back; they are PERFECTLY balancing each other out – though looking now, it seems that Milil has somehow managed a standing switch on Aria, getting behind her for a waist lock, but Aria quickly grabbing down at Milli’s hands, trying to peel her off; which seems successful thus far even as Milli is trying to lift Aria off the mat!
Flannery McCoy: Aria wants to make sure she’s in a no fly zone, leveraging her weight down so she doesn’t exit her feet off the mat; as now Aria successfully unlatches Milli Banks’s hands from her waist! Holding both of them now as she spreads them away, Aria trying to turn around whilst keeping Milli’s hands detained in her own, with Aria now turning to face Milli – AND ARIA LETTING GO QUICKLY AND TUCKING MILLI INTO A DDT POSITION, LOOKING TO LAND ONE QUICKLY ONTO BANKS!!!
Jake Mercer: AND ARIA FALLS TO THE MAT WITH HER NECK HOOKED AROUND MILLI, LOOKING LIKE THE DDT CONNECTED – NO! It looks like Milli Banks put her hands out in a handstand esque position JUST before her head collided with the ring mat, as Aria lies flat on the floor; though seemingly AWARE Banks evaded the maneuver, as Aria instantly begins to sit up; Milil Banks quickly transitioning to the ropes as soon as she gets up to her feet, shifting back to Aria as she looks to land a quick hesitation dropkick into the head of Aria –
Stew-O: But Aria ducks down with ANOTHER reversal, sending Milli to skid against the mat past Aria, who quickly kips up following her dodge, Aria turning to Milli Banks as she QUICKLY throws her body into the air; looking for a standing senton right onto Milli Banks – BUT MILLI WITH A REVERSAL NOW, ROLLING OUT THE WAY!
Jake Mercer: And Aria looked like she landed awkwardly on her back, as Milli Banks gets into a vertical position, scrambling to stand over Aria as she gains her composure; BEFORE LOOKING TO HIT A STANDING MOONSAULT ON TOP OF THE CHAMPION – AND ARIA REVERSES AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: YES! ARIA LIFTING THE KNEES UP ONTO MILLI WHICH SENDS HER JOLTED UP INTO A POSITION ON HER KNEES! Aria propping herself up with the help of the ropes quickly, with Milli Banks in front of her directly, still slightly stunned from the knees of Aria; THOUGH ARIA NOW LOOKING TO LAND A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW OF A KNEELING MILLI BANKS… AND MILLI AGAIN NOT LETTING UP! CATCHING THE BOOT AS SHE SWINGS ARIA AROUND, CLIPPING ARIA’S TIGHTS AS SHE BRINGS HER TO THE MAT, LOOKING FOR THE COVER!!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE—-
Stew-O: OH MY GOD, EXTREMELY CLOSE CALL FROM ARIA WHO KICKS OUT; THOUGH INSTANTLY GRABBING MILLI BANKS’S SHOULDERS AS SHE DRAGS THEM TO THE MAT, BEFORE LOCKING HER LEGS AROUND MILLI’S SHOULDER AREA AND TUGGING BANKS’S LEGS DOWN WITH HER ARMS, LOOKING FOR HER OWN ROLL-UP!!!!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—-
Jake Mercer: AND NOW IT’S A CLOSE KICKOUT FROM MILLI BANKS WHO JOLTS UP, INSTANTLY CRAWLING AWAY FROM ARIA AS SHE SEEMS A BIT STARTLED – AND ARIA DOES THE SAME!
Flannery McCoy: When you said this would be even, you were NOT wrong; with all the maneuvers these two have attempted to hit? NEITHER one of these women has inflicted much of any punishment on the other, and now? Now we are REALLY in store for something amazing!
Crowd: LET’S GO ARIA! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO ARIA! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Stew-O: The crowd is feeling it, WE are feeling it, and I am sure THEY are feeling it; we are in store for MAGIC, Flan’; as now these two are slowly beginning to reach their feet, and from here it’s time for the second coming of the feeling out process!
Milli Banks (off-mic): I’M going to be Specialist’s Champion!
Aria (off-mic): Oh? Then come take it from me.
Jake Mercer: With certain words now spilling between these two, as the aura of this match has turned from starstruck to high octane determination; otherwise translated as FURY coming from both Elitist’s in the ring currently, as now Milli Banks steps up to the middle of the ring; followed shortly by Aria, and the faceoff ensues!
Crowd: LET’S GO ARIA! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO ARIA! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Stew-O: And with more words being said closely between these two, you could only WONDER what is going to come out of this altercation –
Jake Mercer: I’LL TELL YOU WHAT IS STEW, A SLAP FROM MILLI BANKS! A CLEAN SLAP FROM MILLI BANKS RIGHT ONTO THE JAW OF ARIA, AND SHE’S STUNNED!
Flannery McCoy: And Milli Banks is motioning her hands right above her waist, SCREAMING at Aria; and now how will the champion respond to this?! :lupe:
Jake Mercer: It looks like it is taking a second for Aria to process what exactly just went down, holding her jaw as she turns to Milli Banks with a face of pure rage – AND NOW SHE DELIVERS A SLAP OF HER OWN TO MILLI BANKS, SENDING MILLI INTO A FULL 360!!!
Stew-O: And you can see the red blotch form on BOTH of these ladies cheeks, these two are NOT pulling their punches – or better termed, SLAPS as now Milli Banks looks enthralled; not turning to face Aria yet, as she clutches a fist – AND MILLI BANKS SWINGING WILDLY WITH A RIGHT HAND OUT OF NOWHERE, LOOKING TO CLOCK ARIA WHEN SHE LEASTS EXPECTS IT!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT ARIA DUCKS IT, RUSHING FORWARD TO THE ROPES AS IT LOOKS LIKE MILLI BANKS IS SPINNING OUT FROM THE SHEER POWER! A huge overlook for Milli Banks, as Aria looks to flip onto the ropes, expressing her gymnastic skills, as it seems like Aria is planning to flip RIGHT onto a standing Milli Banks and wipe her onto the floor –
Jake Mercer: OH MY GOD, ARIA GOT PICKED OUT THE AIR BY MILLI BANKS – ‘NEW BODY, NEW BODY, NEW BODY!!!!!’ ARIA JUST GOT NAILED WITH MILLI BANKS’S FINISHER, AND SHE BOUNCES ONTO THE MAT, MILLI INSTANTLY RUSHING INTO THE COVER, MILLI BANKS IN THE COVER, MILLI BANKS FOR THE WIN TONIGHT!!!!
OONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Stew-O: NO! NO ARIA KICKS OUT, AND THIS CROWD IS OUT OF THEIR SEATS; MAMMA MIAAAAAA!!!! Milli can’t believe it, WE can’t believe it, and I’m sure ARIA can’t believe it; that was as close as it gets! Milli tasted gold but Aria BARELY kept this win out of arms reach for Milli, as she kicks out with less than a MILLI SECOND to spare!
Jake Mercer: I’m gobsmacked, that was an INSANE maneuver from Milli Banks who now is left to search how exactly she is meant to capitalize off of this near pinfall, with Milli Banks not trying to waste much time; KNOWING time is not on her side, with Banks quickly moving towards the corner as she quickly looks to mount it, and if I was to guess? Milli Banks is going to show us what it looks like to see her on AIR.
Flannery McCoy: I love Aria, but if Milli Banks can land a ‘Milli-On-Air’ RIGHT after her ‘New Body’ maneuver? I don’t see any way of Aria kicking out, but we are BOUND to find out now; as Milli Banks is beginning to scale the top rope, with Aria laying down in PERFECT position now; nowhere to go, as Milli Banks reaches the top rope; looking around the Boston crowd, enjoying the moment for herself, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW SHE MIGHT JUST WIN THE SPECIALIST’S CHAMPIONSHIP; MILLI BANKS FOCUSING DOWN ON ARIA, AS SHE FINALLY DECIDES TO JUMP; LOOKING FOR HER CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS, ‘MILLI-ON-AIR’!!!!! AND IT CONNECTS —
Jake Mercer: NO!!! NO ARIA MOVED OUT THE WAY, AND MILLI JUST PLANTS HERSELF ON THE MAT! Milli BOUNCING up to her knees, as she holds her chest for dear life after planting herself perfectly onto it, trying to work through the pain – BUT ARIA IS UP TO HER FEET, GETTING AN EARLY SECOND WIN AS SHE BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES, MILLI BANKS SEEING HER BUT REALIZING TOO LATE –
Stew-O: ‘J4AAAAAAAA!!!!!’ JUSTICE FOR ALL, A HUGE RUNNING KNEE STRIKES MAKES MILLI BANKS JUST FOLD INTO PAPER, FLEXIBLE IN A WAY SHE DOES NOT WANT TO BE; AS ARIA PINS MILLI’S SHOULDERS DOWN INSTANTANEOUSLY, CLUTCHING THEM DOWN FOR DEAR LIFE, AS THE REF BEGINS TO COUNT!!!!
OOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
…
…
Jake Mercer: AND NOW IT’S MILLI WHO KICKS OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE REFEREE COULD CALL IT, MILLI SURVIVES! MILLI SURVIVES!
Flannery McCoy: Okay, well it’s too perfect NOT to mention how mirrored that was, it seems that no matter what either of these women do; NEITHER of them can get the upper hand on the other, and everything is COMPLETELY evened out when all is said and done – and SURE, maybe it is meant to be expected; but to this extent? I just can’t see this match ending other than a time limit stoppage; and we JUST begun.
Stew-O: Time will tell, though, Aria has Milli Banks in a downed position; as Banks is still completely stunned, Aria has less of a time getting grips with herself, but with how Milli Banks turned out trying to go for it all? I think Aria is trying to take it slow now, realizing she has a whole match ahead of herself to fight for, and Aria now begins pulling Milli to the center of the ring.
Jake Mercer: Milli Banks not holding much of a fight-up against Aria currently, as now the Champion is getting level with the Challenger, getting grips around Banks’s neck , and now Aria locking in a crossface onto Milli, beginning to wear down her opponent!
Flannery McCoy: And Milli Banks is now showing signs of life, urgency within the challenger as she begins to try and scramble towards the ropes; though again a showcase of how tactical Aria is, forcing Milli to use MORE energy due to being in the middle of the ring, as now all Aria needs to do is keep the hold in tight; knowing that she isn’t WINNING with this crossface, but the more she forces Milli to struggle? The better her odds get.
Jake Mercer: And with Milli beginning to get more and more weary in this hold, she begins to show more signs of desperation as she clutches her hand into a fist; trying to muscle herself through, before DRAGGING her fist against the ground; pulling her closer to the rope, before FINALLY grabbing it; with Aria not even waiting for the count to begin, as she lets go instantly, out of respect for her challenger as Milli stays more cautious about Aria trying to continue locking in submissions in this match
Flannery McCoy: And Milli iSHOULD bemaintain this level of cautiousness for the future, now seeing how dangerous Aria can be as a technical wrestler; as Banks pulls herself past the bottom rope, getting onto the apron as she looks to help herself up at a further distance from her opponent.
Jake Mercer: And Aria noticing the precarious positioning from Milli Banks, a fall from here might not be far from the floor; but STILL devastating, as Aria now looks to catch a recovering Milli Banks off guard; as Milli begins getting to her feet, Aria taking a lap to the opposing ropes, bouncing off of them as she looks to collide her shoulder into the gut of Milli Banks, taking her out – BUT MILLI EVADES! SIDE STEPPING AS ARIA’S CORE GETS SENT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE – AND MILLI SENDING A KNEE INTO THE UPPER CHEST OF ARIA!
Stew-O: And that stunned Aria who is still laying over the middle rope, dazed by the knee as Milli Banks drags Aria’s body over the middle rope and onto the apron, leaving Aria hunched over, Milli takes a breath for the moment; regaining herself as she looks at Aria’s positioning on the apron, taking a moment to think… BUT MILLI NOW, JUMPING RIGHT ONTO THE BACK OF ARIA – AND A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB CRASHING ARIA ON THE CORNER OF THE APRON, THE CHAMPION JUST ARCHING HER BACK IN PAIN AS SHE FALLS OFF THE APRON!
Flannery McCoy: Milli could NOT have picked a better place to put Aria down with that powerbomb, as now Banks is in a state of control she wasn’t in before, with Aria down to a knee on the outside; it seems like Milli is in no hurry to join her out there yet; rather enjoying stalking her on the apron instead, knowing she holds a sort of height advantage, as Aria begins to slowly bring herself up to a vertical position; holding her back in a state of anguish, with Milli Banks finding Aria’s positioning perfect AGAIN it seems – WITH MILLI BANKS RUNNING OFF THE APRON DIRECTLY TOWARDS ARIA WHO IS TOO STAGGERED TO DEFEND HERSELF; AND CRASHING AGAINST HER WITH A METEORA, THE CHALLENGER IS ROLLING!
Crowd: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: LET’S GO MILLI! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Stew-O: And for now it looks like Boston has chosen a favorite! :lupe:
Jake Mercer: Where momentum goes, the fans go; and Milli Banks carries that momentum with EASE right now as Aria just ate a whole lotta thigh and knee, whilst hitting the floor hard…. :mjgrin:
Flannery McCoy: Never say that sentence and follow it with that face again.
Jake Mercer: My bad. :wow:
Stew-O: Turning back to the ring action now, we have to remember with this bout going under REGULAR match rules, there will be a 10 count from the referee; and with Champion’s advantage? Aria being on the outside is to the DETRIMENT of Milli Banks now, as she needs to make sure whatever offense she has planned is short and sweet before she loses her title shot in the worst way possible.
ONE!
Flannery McCoy: And there the count begins, but Milli Banks is looking efficient as she quickly drags Aria up to her feet, and places her against the barricade –
??? (off-mic): LETS GO MILLIIIIIII!!!! WHEW, [REDACTED] HER UP!!!!! IT’S BIG BILLS MILLS’, PERIODT!
( A screaming member of the EAW Universe, right in front of where Aria was propped up, would begin emphasizing her rather… Clear bias for the Challenger here tonight. )
Flannery McCoy: Is that… Is that Genesis? :dahell:
Jake Mercer: Looks like it, and she seems… Invested.
Gemma (off-mic): Genesis! Let her focus on the match, don’t get her distracted!
Kenny (off-mic): Nah, you right Gemma – C’MON MILLI, I DIDN’T MAKE THAT GEAR FOR YOU TO LOSE IN; ROCK HER [REDACTED] IN!!!
Milli Banks (off-mic): Chillleeeee… We run a family friendly show here guys, keep it to a minimum before you get my ass fined. :ufdup:
Genesis (off-mic): My bad, go head Mills’; curb stomp her…. Posterior.
Milli Banks (off-mic): Better!
Stew-O: OH, AND WITH THAT LITTLE ENCOUNTER BETWEEN MILLI AND HER FAMILY, SHE BEGINS STOMPING A HOLE INTO ARIA ON THE BARRICADE; MAKING HER SHRINK MORE AND MORE INTO IT, AND NOW HER FAMILY IS SENT INTO A FRENZY OF SCREAMING AND CHEERS!
Jake Mercer: Some of the audience sitting next to them look a little perturbed… But other than that you got to love the support Milli Banks is receiving, and imagine how MUCH this is impacting her mentally knowing that her familia is in attendance right there for her!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Flannery McCoy: But remember the referee’s count IS still active, and that was all wasted time; as now Aria is flattened against the barricade, Milli Banks beginning to realize she was running out of time, as she picked Aria back up and flung her into the ring, Milli following not far behind!
Stew-O: And with Banks back in the ring, it seems that she is ATTEMPTING to grab Aria’s legs up to lock her into some sort of submission; and from what I can tell, it’s almost as if Milli is attempting to put Aria in an inverted cloverleaf; but Aria’s trying to fight it, she NEEDS to fight it!
Flannery McCoy: But on Milli’s side, she NEEDS to make sure this submission forces long term trouble on Aria, because if she can’t stand? She can’t fight. Though looking now, Aria seems to be using her hands to crawl closer to the ropes; and with Milli trying to balance her weight and Aria’s own, she’s unable to hold her back for long, though she is seeming to TRY here, reeling her body back away from the ropes as Aria continues to struggle more and more – OH! BUT ARIA HAVING A NEW IDEA, KNOWING MILLI WAS NOT WELL BALANCED; ARIA THRUSTS HER LEGS FORWARD AND HURLS MILLI BANKS RIGHT INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, SENDING BANKS DOWN INTO THE CORNER!
Stew-O: Effective to get out the submission, but look at Aria who is currently seeming to favor her legs; causing a LOT of tension inside of them when she pulled Milli forward as Aria is trying to smack some feeling into her limbs, with what little time she has to capitalize; she needs to do something here and NOW, with Milli Banks stunned but ALREADY beginning to try and reach her feet, it’s do or die here for Aria, as she starts getting a vertical position just as Milli turns around –
Jake Mercer: AND A ‘ZIRCON CUTTER’ FROM ARIA OUT OF NOWHERE! LIKE A VIPER, ARIA JUST STRIKED SOME VENOM RIGHT INTO MILLI BANKS AND FOUND HERSELF AN OPEN OPPORTUNITY TO STEAL THIS MOMENTUM FULLY; WITH MILLI DOWN, THOUGH ARIA STILL FAVORING HER LEGS AS SHE STAYS ON THE GROUND!
Stew-O: Yes, Aria being unable to make a cover quickly as she is trying to get the uncomfortability she is CLEARLY feeling out of her bottom half, as Aria FINALLY is looking to crawl over to Milli for the cover… But it’s Milli who rolls out to the apron JUST before Aria can make one of her arms go over Banks’s chest!
Stew-O: And just like that, a wasted opportunity in the misfortune of the Champion; as Milli Banks continues trying to recover from her winded state on the apron, Aria just staring at her opponent trying to figure out what is the best move from here; as now the Champions begins to make moves towards the Challenger who is up to a knee on the apron, Aria pulling Milli up by her hair as Banks follows along accordingly, unable to foresee her future; as now Aria looks towards the turnbuckle, and I do not like this for Milli as we can clearly see the gears and Aria’s head working…
Jake Mercer: And you are DEFINITELY right for worrying, as now Aria looks to put her plan in fruition; as she grabs hold of a bulk of Banks’s hair, BEFORE FORCING MILLI TO FACEPLANT INTO THE TURNBUCKLE; SMASHING HER INTO IT FROM THE OUTSIDE!
Flannery McCoy: Milli Banks SOMEHOW not falling from the impact, but she is VERY clearly stunned here; as Aria is letting her brain work at a rapid pace, with Aria putting her discomfort aside; beginning to scale the turnbuckle right where Banks collided with, as Aria now is PULLING Milli Banks up the corner from the apron, Banks forced to climb up as the Champion is looking for something high octane here, and when both of these Elitist’s reach the top rope? Things can get SCARY.
Jake Mercer: Scary is an UNDERSTATEMENT. We’ve seen a plethora of moves from this height that no human should take while on the FLOOR, lets just hope whoever gets the brunt of this one has good health insurance – even though we shouldn’t need to worry at all, because EAW Supplies all superstars the top of the line health services, for all their life threatening needs!
Stew-O: Well they might need to have their doctors on speed dial now, as Milli Banks and Aria BOTH reach the top rope; Aria hunching over for a moment, slightly fatigued; though Milli Banks is looking to take advantage of the slight moment of distraction from Aria, with Milli landing one HUGE right hand on Aria; causing her to waiver on the ropes instantly!
Flannery McCoy: And just like that, Milli is trying to insert herself back into a good position here in this match up, with Banks now sending ANOTHER shot to the head of Aria, staggering her fully as Mili switches her positioning; standing on the side of the ropes sided to the corner, stabilizing herself for the moment; as she begins to push Aria forward, perching her forward on the top turnbuckle close to the ring post itself, putting her in a TERRIBLE position knowing that these two will end up landing in the ring, this is an EASY Super-Plex for Milli Banks to hit here, and with that? Aria’s hopes are looking to fade really fast…
Jake Mercer: And I think that’s that Milli is planning, as the positions have reversed; Milli now coming off the side of the ropes and back onto the top of the turnbuckle, grabbing along the sides of Aria now as Milli is looking to put Aria in a PRIME position for an overhead Super-Plex; a maneuver that’d LEVEL the champion, as now Milli makes sure she doesn’t fall herself; getting ready to risk it all here and send herself AND Aria down –
Stew-O: Woah woah woah, hold on now Jake; Aria’s fighting back! Aria sending right hands into the ribs of Milli Banks, and Banks can’t do anything about it! Milli trying to muscle Aria off the ring post, knowing gravity would do the rest – BUT ARIA IS STAYING IN THIS!
Flannery McCoy: Stew is right, and I think it’s working! WIth Milli Banks stopping her attempts at lifting Aria to re-stabilize herself; but even so, I don’t think restabilizing is an option anymore, Aria has Milli in TREACHEROUS waters and – hold on…
Jake Mercer: Is Aria… IS ARIA SIZING UP TO SUPER-PLEX MILLI BANKS… TO THE OUTSIDE?! Don’t get me wrong, the mat is NO comfortable surface; but a suplex onto the FLOOR?! That is HEINOUS, Aria’s gonna KILL Milli if Banks lands the wrong way!!!
Stew-O: BUT I DON’T THINK ARIA CARES, OH MY GOD; ARIA IS GOING FOR IT, ARIA IS LIFTING MILLI UP WHO IS TRYING TO WEIGH HERSELF DOWN; BUT EVEN WITH INJURED LEGS, ARIA PULLS THROUGH – AND OH MY GOD, ARIA JUST SUPER-PLEXED MILLI BANKS OFF THE TOP ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE!!!!!! JESUS CHRIST!!!!
( CRASH! )
Flannery McCoy: LORD HAVE MERCY, MILLI AND ARIA BOTH LANDING ON THE OUTSIDE; ARE THEY ALRIGHT, ARE THEY?!
Stew-O: BARELY, JUST BARELY; IT SEEMS LIKE THEY BOTH LANDED ON AN EAW CAMERA-MAN, LESSENING WHAT COULD’VE BEEN VERY DETRIMENTAL INJURIES TO BOTH OF THEM…
Jake Mercer: Wait you hold a darn second… That isn’t just some ‘EAW Cameraman’ thats…. Thats…. THATS FRANKLIN!
Franklin The Cameraman: :dead:
Jake Mercer: In his first match back since the Joso vs Ruler incident, he just ate a MASSIVE Super-Plex from Milli and Aria, GOD, WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO THE GOOD MEN IN THIS WORLD?!
Flannery McCoy: HE HAS KIDS DARN IT, AND LUMAGO TOO – HE SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO START WORKING IN THE TRUCK!
Stew-O: And unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like EITHER of these Elitist’s are in the condition to check on him; because despite the ‘softened’ fall, they just landed on a VERY hard studio Camera, and neither one of THEM have even gotten up yet!
Jake Mercer: And you know what that means…
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Flannery McCoy: Referee count time! And this one’s going quick, do not tell me we are getting ANOTHER case of Deja Vu and experiencing a double count-out worry like we did with Joso Vs Ruler, I like to regale in old matches but not now! :lupe:
Jake Mercer: Luckily though, I can already sense some movement; as Aria and Milli are beginning to stir on the outside, getting off the site of the crash, now both of the Elitist’s are making their way towards the ring, trying to break the count!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
Stew-O: AND LOOK AT THAT, MILLI’S ALREADY UP TO HER KNEE, READY TO SLIDE INTO THE RING SOON ENOUGH… BUT ARIA LOOKS LIKE SHE TWEAKED HER RIGHT LEG TRYING TO WILL BOTH HER WEIGHT AND MILLI’S UP, SHE’S STRUGGLING!
Jake Mercer: Well, remember; with Champions Advantage, Aria doesn’t NEED to enter the ring, it’s all on Milli to get inside their before the count, but then again? We KNOW Aria, and from what we’ve seen? She would not accept a win like this, she is going to try EVERYTHING and ANYTHING to get back and finish this match the RIGHT way!
SEVEN!
EIGHT!
Flannery McCoy: YES! Milli now officially making a burst to slide into the ring, BARELY getting inside; with Aria now struggling to her own feet, and she doesn’t have much time, as Aria is using her left leg to hop over to the apron, TRYING to get herself up in time; though it seems like she might be taking her time, realizing no matter what, she might walk out of her with her Specialist’s Championship. :lupe:
Jake Mercer: And Aria SLOWLY using the middle rope to help herself onto the apron, as she lifts herself up; the referee staring like he wants to give leniency and end the count, but a job must be done!
NINE!
Stew-O: AND WITH ARIA STILL STAGGERED ON THE APRON, TRYING TO GARNER FEELING IN HER LEG; THE MATCH MIGHT END RIGHT HERE; ARIA MIGHT RETAIN IN A WAY NOBODY WANTS TO SEE HERE TONIGHT, AS THE REFEREE GOES OUT TO MAKE HIS FINAL COUNT OF TEN –
Flannery McCoy: LOOK, MILLI SENSES HER SPECIALIST’S DREAMS ARE FADING AWAY NOW; AND SHE IS LOOKING LIKE SHE IS TRYING TO BRAINSTORM SOMETHING UP QUICK, AND IN AN ACT OF DESPERATION; MILLI FLIES FORWARD, RUNNING TOWARDS ARIA – AND MILLI BANKS SCALING OVER THE TOP ROPE, AND LEVELING ARIA OFF THE APRON WITH A MARUFUJI DROPKICK, LAUNCHING HERSELF OUT IN THE PROCESS, RESETTING THE COUNT!
Jake Mercer: And HOW smart was that?! Milli knew that exiting the ring again would force the referee to restart the count, and throwing caution to the wind Milli did JUST that as she blasts Aria off the apron directly into the apron, with Banks landing on her hands and knees on the outside; taking a slight recoil but simply NOT enough to keep herself down! As Milli now, with a head of steam gets up to her feet instantaneously, PEELING Aria off the barricade and into the ring; sliding in RIGHT after her as Milli rushes to cover Aria with an arm, looking to end the match here!
OONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHRRR-
Jake Mercer: AND ARIA KICKS OUT! And you see the look on Milli’s face, this can be a scary place for Elitist’s, in the ring not fighting their opponents anymore; but them self. This is a moment that can make or break Milli Banks, as now, she is SOLELY focused on getting Aria up to her feet, NEEDING the Champion on their feet; as Milli is looking to use her ace in the hole, as SLOWLY but eventually Aria is making her way up to a vertical position, perfectly in place for what Milli seems to be wanting her; as Banks now begins to run the ropes, making MULTIPLE laps for a measure of momentum unseen before previously, as Milli is running at a SPRINTER’s pace, Aria too stunned to get out of harms way – AND NOW MILLI BANKS IS LOOKING TO PUT THE RIBBON AND BOW ON THIS MATCH-UP HERE TONIGHT, MILLI AIMING FOR THE ROPES AS SHE PLACES HER FEET PERFECTLY ON TOP OF THE MIDDLE ONE; FLIPPING HERSELF OFF OF IT TOWARDS WHERE ARIA WAS STUCK IN A STANDING POSITION, AND I COULD ONLY ASSUME MILLI IS LOOKING FOR HER SPRINGBOARD BACKFLIP CUTTER, ‘CHECKS CLEARRREEDDDD!!!!!!!’
…
…
…
Stew-O: ‘J44AAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!’ THE RUNNING HIGH KNEE STRIKE CATCHING MILLI BANKS OUT THE AIR; PLUCKING HER RIGHT DOWN TO THE GROUND AND CAUSING HER AN EXTRA FLIP DOWN TO THE FLOOR AS SHE HITS THE MAT ON HER BACK, STARING UP TO THE RING LIGHTS WITH FAINTED EYES; ARIA STUNNING THE WORLD WITH A HUGE ‘J4A’ RIGHT ONTO THE BRIDGE OF MILLI’S NOSE, AS ARIA LEAPS ONTO MILLI’S BODY FOR THE COVER!!!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
…
…
…
THHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Jake Mercer: BAH GAWD, ARIA DID IT! ARIA DID IT!
…
…
…
Stew-O: Hold on… MILLI KICKED OUT?!?!
Jake Mercer: HUH!?! NONSENSE. POPPYCOCK. LIES. DECEIT – I’VE SEEN THINGS IN THAT RING; THINGS UNBELIEVABLE, BUT THERE IS JUST NO WAY MILLI KICKED OUT OF THAT J4A FROM ARIA!!!!
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD, SHE BARELY LIFTED HER SHOULDER UP BY WHAT – AN INCH?!
Stew-O: NOBODY IN THIS STADIUM CAN BELIEVE IT, I THINK GENESIS MIGHT’VE JUST FAINTED IN THE FRONT ROW; THIS BUILDING IF GOING TO GIVE BOSTON THE BIGGEST NOISE COMPLAINT OF ALL TIME, THIS IS LUDICROUS!!!
Stew-O: And Aria can not express her shock simply off the fact that she is simply too DRAINED, too lost of energy; and now? We’re beginning to see the desperation form around Aria, as she clutches her hair, not knowing what to do with Milli at ALL following her kickout.
Jake Mercer: And Aria doesn’t say anything, she has no Ice Aces to help her; but by the sheer FANS alone, they want this for her badly!
Flannery McCoy: Now she’s starting to feel it, she’s starting to let the worry lift; and now? She’s ready to let Milli FEEL her determination, as Aria gets to her feet; grabbing hold of BOTH Milli’s arms… BEFORE BEGINNING TO STOMP A HOLE INTO THE FACE OF MILLI!!!
Jake Mercer: Brutal, but EXTREMELY tactical! Milli not reacting to any of the kicks, as she quite simply is knocked OUT; again, HOW did she kick out?! The fact of the matter is, Aria is trying to soften and weaken the head of Milli; knowing if she can do that all it takes is ONE final ‘J4A’ and then you can put this match in the history books!
Flannery McCoy: That’s right, and now THANKFULLY for Milli Banks Aria stops stomping a hole into her; though not soon enough for Milli as blood is beginning to leak out of her nose, showcasing the damage that had been done :lupe:
Stew-O: And with Aria laying out Milli on the canvas, good lord… Aria’s going for the top rope AGAIN! Aria though thankfully going by herself, but nevertheless these women are just ATTRACTED to staying high flying; as now, Aria SOMEHOW is managing to get up to her feet atop the turnbuckle, Aria trying to stand sturdy as she looks down at Milli Banks, staring her down, KNOWING it’s all or nothing from here.
Aria (off-mic): Stay Alive.
Jake Mercer: AND ARIA JUST LEAPING OFF THE TOP ROPE, LANDING A BEAUTIFUL LEG DROP ONTO MILLI BANKS; ALLOWING HER THIGH TO REST OVER THE NECK OF MILLI BANKS AS THE REF COUNTS IT AS A COVER!!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE—-
Flannery McCoy: AND YET AGAIN, MILLI BANKS KICKING OUT; GOOD LORD, HOW IN THE WORLD IS SHE DOING THIS?!
Stew-O: TRULY insane feats from Milli – but look! Aria is clutching at her leg, she went for it all trying to weaken the upper body of Milli, but in the process she is WRECKING her own body! Was it truly a worthy trade off?
Jake Mercer: In my opinion? Not so much, she SERIOUSLY needs to be taking care of her legs, not putting herself in harms way! We know Aria’s a warrior, but every warrior has a crack in their shield; and right now? She’s putting a big red target on hers.
Flannery McCoy: Big red targets only have value if you give your opposition a time to strike them, and right now? Aria might be hurt, Aria might be stressed, but Aria is looking to seal the deal REGARDLESS. As now, Champion sizing up downed challenger, Aria is BECKONING up Milli Banks!
Stew-O: And Milli Banks can just follow accordingly, with Aria now lowering her shin guard; KNOWING she needs it all right here or nothing at all, she’s going for FATALITY, she wants the kill shot as SLOWLY Milli Banks is getting to a knee, SLOWLY Milli Banks is making it to a slightly vertical position; RIGHT where Aria wants her!
Jake Mercer: Looks like it, AND NOW ARIA RUNS THE ROPES; IN FRONT OF MILLI ALL THE WAY TO THE ONES BEHIND HER, MILLI BANKS DOESN’T LOOK LIKE SHE EXPECTS IT; AND ARIA IS LOOKING TO KNOCK BANKS’S LIGHTS OUT FOR GOOD, AS ARIA SENDS HER FINAL WARRIORS CRY OUT PUTTING IT ALL ON THE LINE FOR THE SPECIALIST’S CHAMPIONSHIP AS SHE LOOKS ONCE MORE FOR THAT RUNNING KNEE STRIKE, THIS TIME DIRECTLY TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD; ARIA LOOKING FOR ‘J4A!!!!!!’
…
…
…
???: GAAAHHH!!!
…
…
…
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD, MILLI DUCKED IT! MILLI PRE-EMPTIVELY DUCKED IT, BUT BEFORE ARIA COULD FULLY RUN PAST HER; MILLI GRABS THE INJURED RIGHT LEG OF ARIA, AND SPIKES HER KNEE DIRECTLY IN THE GROUND; AMIDST ARIA’S AWKWARD TURN TRYING TO RE-STABILIZE FOLLOWING THE MISSED ‘J4A’, ARIA’S HURT!!!!
Jake Mercer: AND NOW IT’S MILLI GETTING UP TO HER FEET, RUNNING OFF PURE ADRENALINE AS ARIA CAN BARELY GET UP, HOBBLING ON ONE LEG; MILLI DRAGS ARIA UP TO HER FEET DESPITE BARELY BEING ABLE TO STAND, MILLI NOW STANDING IN FRONT OF ARIA; HOOKING HER NECK —
Stew-O: ‘BANKKKKRRUPPPTTTT!!!!’ THE SALIDA DEL SOL CONNECTING PERFECTLY ON THE CHAMPION, THE CHAMPIONS DOWN; MILLI HAS THE LEG HOOKED, MAKING SURE SHE HAS THE FULL PIN ATTEMPT IN, AS THE REFEREE IS GOING FOR THE COVER!!!!
OOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
…
…
…
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
( ‘Princess Diana’ by Ice Spice Feat. Nicki Minaj began blasting through the speakers, as Milli Banks quickly unhooked Aria’s leg and fell right onto the mat, tearing up as she could barely feel ANY part of her body; lying next to Aria as the crowd cheered hysterically, A NEW CHAMPION BEING CROWNED! )
Stephie Love: AND HERE IS YOUR WINNER….. ANDD NEWWWWWWWW, SPECIALISTS CHAMPION….. MIILLIIIIIIIIIIIIIII BANKKSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Stew-O: WHAT. JUST. HAPPENED?!
Jake Mercer: I’LL TELL YOU WHAT, MILLI DID IT! MILLI BANKS IS SPECIALIST’S CHAMPION!!!!
Flannery McCoy: I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT HOW THE ENDING SEQUENCE PLAYED OUT, WITH ARIA’S LEG GIVING OUT THANKS TO MILLI, AND BANKS WITH QUICK REACTION TIMING TO LEAVE ARIA BANKRUPT, AND IN DOING SO, WE HAVE A NEW SPECIALIST’S CHAMPION!
Stew-O: Don’t let the moment spoil anybody, one thing we are NOT going to do is say that Aria did not FIGHT tonight! What a valiant Championship reign she had; and what an AMAZING defense she had going for herself tonight, but in Boston? Grand Rampage? Tonight unfortunately was just not her night!
Jake Mercer: Anyone who is worried about Aria right now better just be worried about her physical well being, because anyone fearing a ‘fall-off?’ quite simply does NOT know who Aria is. She works magic, everything she DOES is magic; and from here? It’s only up, bravo to the now former champion; but now? Let us celebrate the NEW, SPECIALISTS CHAMPION!!!!
( Slowly,as Aria rolls out of the ring, the referee pulls Milli Banks up to her feet as she stumbles backwards, covering her face as she tries to wipe the tears she had growing, but she could NOT wipe the clear smirk on her face; as FINALLY she can call herself tonight, SPECIALIST’S CHAMPION! )
Stew-O: She thought she’d hold it at Justified Reckoning, She’d thought she’d hold it at Road to Redemption? But tonight, she FINALLY gets to fulfill that dream of hers, and she FINALLY gets to say that she is, CHAMPION!
Jake Mercer: Certainly a feel good moment for Milli Banks, entirely deserved, and an ENTIRELY amazing run certainly ahead of her with that Specialist’s Championship; I mean, this night could NOT get any better for her –
( Just then, a couple of people roll into the ring behind Milli Banks, completely unaware to the new champion… )
Genesis (off-mic): THEY AIN’T GOT GOOD ENOUGH SECURITY TO HOLD ME BACK, MILLS’ – YOU DID IT! YOU’RE SPECIALIST’S FREAKIN’ CHAMPION – AND I KEPT MY CENSORSHIP, SO YOU BETTER THANK ME [REDACTED]
Gemma (off-mic): That didn’t last long…
Kenny (off-mic): DOES IT MATTER?! OUR GIRL JUST WON, WE CAN TAKE THE FINES NOW; WE MAKING CHAMPION MONEY NOW, [REDACTED]!
Annayah (off-mic): What we’re trying to SAY here, before we get dragged out by security… We’re proud of you Milli!
( The five unite in the center of the ring, an even bigger grin growing on Milli’s face as she laughs to herself. )
Milli Banks (off-mic): If anyone even thinks about touching one of y’all? We jumping them, periodt.
( WIth that, the group laughed as Kenny and Genesis picked Milli off the ground instantly, perching her on their shoulders as Gemma looked on from the side; rolling her eyes, though smiling; extremely happy for her nonetheless, with Annayah going on to join the duo in holding up Milli Banks, as blue and white confetti BLASTED out from confetti cannons on the side of the rings, commemorating this moment in history on a HUGE high note; as slowly, the camera faded away from the scene in the ring, as Grand Rampage now took a short commercial break.)
(A commercial is shown for SUPER DYNASTY!)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for… ONE FALL!!!!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!
Stephie Love: And it is for the EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
(‘first death’ by TK would hit the speakers to an explosion of cheers, as the challenger to the Interwire Championship himself; Jay Jerry Johnson would walk out onto the stage. He looks around, feeling confident in himself here tonight, as he would begin to make his way down the ramp, his eyes focused on the ring and the ring only.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first; the challenger! From Bridgeport, Connecticut, weighing in at 206 pounds, he is The ‘CHARISMATIC ARTIST!!!!’ TRIPLE J!!!! JAYYYYYYYY JERRRRRYYYYYYYY JOOOOHNNNNSONNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: At Operation: Doomsday one month ago, Jay Jerry Johnson would go on to defeat four other Elitists in a huge Unique Opportunity fatal five way match, which granted him access into this match here tonight at Grand Rampage; getting a shot at the Interwire Championship, looking to finish his story here tonight by becoming champion.
Jake Mercer: But, remember the last time that Jay met in the ring with PJ Hendrx. It was in the quarter finals of the King Of Elite tournament, which he would end up suffering a defeat. What if the same happens here tonight? Where does he go from there? What does he do then? We’ll see.
(Jay Jerry Johnson would make it down to the ringside area, as he climbs up onto the apron and enters into the ring. He has one goal tonight, and that is to become the Interwire Champion. He backs into his corner, his theme fading out from there as he awaits the champion.)
(From there, ‘DNA’ by Kendrick Lamar hits the speakers of the arena, a mixed reaction of cheers and boos pouring down, as the current Interwire Champion; PJ Hendrx would enter out onto the stage. The championship around his waist and a smile on his face, PJ takes the reaction given to him in, as he begins to make his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent; the champion!! From Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing in at 195 pounds, he is ‘PHANTOM!!!!’ THE CURRENT EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION… PJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ HEEEEENNNNNNNDRXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: On the Dynasty before Operation: Doomsday just last month, PJ Hendrx was able to shock the world, defeating and dethroning Amir Yusuf as he reigned above all as the EAW Interwire Championship. Since then he has had his doubters, he has had the people who don’t think he can make it past his first defense, but tonight he is looking to prove all of them wrong.
Stew-O: And honestly; what better way to be able to do exactly that than on a marquee event like Grand Rampage? Remember, this is only his second FPV match ever, and it is yet another championship match; this time defending. At Road To Redemption he competed in the Elimination Chamber for the World Heavyweight Championship, and now we’re here, PJ looking to retain his Interwire Championship against JJJ.
Jake Mercer: Of course, Jay Jerry Johnson is going to look to make sure that it doesn’t happen, and he has stated that he is going to make sure that PJ’s reign is cut short, much like what PJ had done to Amir’s reign. But I don’t think that PJ Hendrx is going to go down that easily. One wrong mistake from the challenger, and we are going to hear “AND STILL!” by the very end of this championship match.
(PJ would look towards the camera, turning his back to it and pointing at the back of his jacket that says “Your Girl’s Favorite Elitist.” He smiles, before walking up the steps, and entering into the ring. He gets up into the face of Triple J, unlatching the Interwire Championship from his waist and showing him what it is all about, before handing it to the referee, as the ref hands it over to the timekeeper, before calling for the bell to sound!)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: AND THIS INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT IS NOW UNDERWAY!! This match has been brewing for weeks now, as the two have been having heated exchanges, and it leads to this very match, this very moment. Is PJ Hendrx going to be able to get his first successful championship defense, or is Jay Jerry Johnson going to finally realize his destiny and become champion once and for all? We are going to find out right here; right now!
Flannery McCoy: Jay and PJ have yet to break their eye contact since the very moment that the bell rang, these two are clearly both determined to win. Pacing around the ring, they both walk towards the center of the ring, still very much holding that glaze right in place. These two are focused, and they are going to do whatever it takes to make sure that they can walk out of Grand Rampage here tonight as the Interwire Champion.
Jake Mercer: And they engage into a collar and elbow tie up! No one here is going to give up, as they are both holding their ground, not one breaking their hold! PJ is able to get a bit of an advantage right here, being able to push Jay up to the ropes… but it doesn’t matter, as Jay immediately is able to grab a hold of the current Interwire Champion, repositioning them before pushing Hendrx into the ropes himself!
Stew-O: The referee has to quickly get in between them, forcing Jay to break the hold as he does so, backing off of Hendrx as he steps back to the middle of the ring, but Hendrx explodes out of the ropes, and rushes right back at Triple J, pulling him over into a side headlock and wrenching that hold in tight in the center of the ring. Jay’s struggling to escape from this move, as Hendrx continues to wrench back.
Flannery McCoy: But Jay Jerry Johnson is able to quickly make some movement and get himself free, before grabbing Hendrx by the wrist, locking it and irish whipping him into the ropes, as the champion bounces off of them, the challenger stepping in… ONLY FOR PJ TO KNOCK JAY DOWN WITH THE SHOULDER BLOCK, JAY GOES DOWN HARD INTO THE MAT AS PJ BRUSHES HIS HAIR BACK, AND HE JUST LOOKS DOWN AT JAY WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE!
Jake Mercer: And you can tell that Triple J didn’t like that whatsoever, quickly rushing back up to his feet once again as PJ Hendrx looks to capitalize off of it, running off the ropes once more, but this time there is no use as Jay catches him and throws him over with a japanese armdrag! PJ quickly scrambles back up to his feet, to be met with another japanese armdrag, sending Hendrx sliding to the outside of the ring!
Stew-O: PJ crashes to the ringside floor, as he’s quickly able to get back to his feet, but look at Jay inside of the ring! TRIPLE J RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND HE LOOKS FOR AN EARLY SUICIDE DIVE IN THIS MATCH, BUT AS JAY HAS HIS BACK TURNED TOWARDS HIM, HENDRX IS ABLE TO DASH BACK INTO THE RING, AND HE CATCHES AN UNEXPECTING TRIPLE J WITH A CALF KICK RIGHT TO THE FACE DROPPING HIM TO THE MAT!
Flannery McCoy: Jay crashes down to the mat as PJ Hendrx quickly slides over to his grounded body, before quickly mounting onto him and hooking the leg for the cover in this match, as he looks to retain his Interwire Championship right here! Can he do it this early into the match?! Is this match going to be over already?
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: No it won’t be Flannery, as Jay is able to quickly get the kickout, and that only puts a face on Hendrx’s face! He knows that he has to do a lot more than just that and I think he is looking to do exactly that, quickly getting back to his feet before dragging Triple J up as well, knowing that he has him in the palm of his hands up to this point in this intense match.
Stew-O: Jay looks to fight back from PJ’s offense, but it isn’t enough as he is able to send him back with that nasty forearm strike! That forces Triple J backward, as he falls into the ropes, but bounces off of them and catches PJ with one of his own! PJ holds onto his jaw, going for another one, ONLY TO BE CAUGHT WITH A FRONT SWEEP KICK BY JAY DROPPING THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION DOWN TO HIS KNEES RIGHT HERE!
Flannery McCoy: And it looks like Triple J is going to follow this all up by taking another chance at running the ropes once more, but he is about to do so, Hendrx is able to grab him by his tights, before quickly getting back to his feet; pulling Jay backward into him, AND THEN HENDRX THROWS TRIPLE J OVER HIS HEAD WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX, KNOCKING THE WIND OUT OF THE CHALLENGER IN THIS ALREADY INTENSE INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!
Jake Mercer: BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS ABLE TO FLIP OUT OF IT AND LAND ONTO HIS FEET BEFORE FALLING INTO THE ROPES! I don’t think Hendrx realizes what Jay just did, as he looks to get back to his feet before turning around, ONLY FOR JAY TO HIT A SUPERKICK RIGHT TO THE JAW OF A KNEELING HENDRX, CATCHING HIM GOOD–
Stew-O: WAIT NO! HENDRX CATCHES JAY’S FOOT, BEFORE THROWING HIM DOWN AND PULLING HIM OVER INTO A SMALL PACKAGE COVER, HE MIGHT STEAL IT HERE AND RETAIN HIS CHAMPIONSHIP!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWW–
Flannery McCoy: Jay manages to find a way to escape yet another pin attempt from the current champion, quickly staggering back up as it is easy to tell in the early goings of this match that Hendrx has the challenger’s number, as he gets to his feet as well before knocking Jay back into the corner with a european uppercut! Jay falls into the corner barely holding himself up, as Hendrx steps backward, picking up steam and RUNS TOWARDS JAY!
Jake Mercer: BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON CATCHES PJ HENDRX WITH A BIG BOOT RIGHT TO THE FACE! Hendrx staggers backwards, as Jay quickly gets out of the corner, before knocking him back with a harsh right hand; Hendrx looks to be dazed! PJ can be seen struggling right here, as Jay looks to follow up even more, grabbing him by the head, AND HE LOOKS TO LIFT HIM INTO THE AIR FOR WHAT COULD BE A HUGE VERTICAL SNAP SUPLEX–
Stew-O: BUT HENDRX GETS OUT OF DANGER IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE; BREAKING JAY’S GRASPS OVER HIM BEFORE DROPPING DOWN TO THE MAT, CATCHING ONTO JAY ALONG THE WAY AND PLANTING HIM HEAD FIRST RIGHT INTO THE MAT WITH A HUGE JUMPING DDT! The champion ONCE AGAIN has the number over the challenger, and I think that the crowd here is loving every moment of it, as Jay Jerry Johnson is laid out in the middle of that very ring!
Flannery McCoy: He grabs Triple J by the hair, dragging him back to his feet as he looks to pull him into the center, BEFORE HE RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF THEM, TWISTING AROUND AND HE LOOKS TO HIT THE SPRINGBOARD SPEAR RIGHT HERE; PJ HENDRX WITH THE PIERCE OF AFFLICTION AND HE MIGHT PUT AN END TO THIS MATCH ALREADY, AS JAY JERRY JOHNSON HAS NO CLUE WHERE HE’S AT AND IS TO GET CUT IN HALF!
Jake Mercer: BUT TRIPLE J IS ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, WATCHING AS HENDRX CRASHES AND BURNS TO THE MAT BELOW! That was not a nice landing for Hendrx, as he quickly tries to stumble back up to his feet, you can tell that he is hurting from that, and Jay is going to look to capitalize off of it, running off of the ropes, AND HE TAKES HENDRX DOWN WITH A SLING BLADE, THE CHAMPION IS DOWN!
Stew-O: You can see just how determined Jay is here tonight to become the Interwire Champion, and he is going to look to do whatever it takes to get exactly that, as he quickly drags Hendrx back to his feet by his attire, before running across the ring, THROWING PJ HENDRX INTO THE CORNER AND HE ENDS UP GOING SHOULDER FIRST RIGHT INTO THE RINGPOST! JAY’S LOOKING TO GET A TARGET ON HENDRX, AND MIGHT BE DOING IT TO PERFECTION!
Flannery McCoy: You can tell that the champion is hurt right now as Triple J pulls him out of the corner, Hendrx holding onto and favoring his arm, as he drags him over to the center of the ring, AND JAY GRABS A HOLD ONTO PJ, BEFORE THROWING HIM OVER WITH A SLEEPER SUPLEX! HENDRX GOES DOWN HARD, AND JAY TRANSITIONS OVER INTO THE COVER, AND THIS MIGHT BE IT! ARE WE GOING TO SEE A NEW CHAMPION HERE TONIGHT?
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: PJ Hendrx is able to get the shoulder up! But, you can tell that did damage to the arm that is now hurt in the process, and Jay sees this as the target, as he holds onto Hendrx’s arm, before getting to his feet and bringing it off the mat… AND JAY LOOKS TO STOMP RIGHT DOWN ONTO THE ELBOW, POSSIBLY BREAKING HENDRX’S RIGHT HERE ARM, AS HE JUMPS INTO THE AIR AND THE PRESSURE GOES INTO IT–
Flannery McCoy: NO, HENDRX IS ABLE TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY! He realizes that he just got lucky right there, as he quickly scrambles back up to his feet, tries stretching out his arm before rushing at Jay; ONLY TO BE MET WITH A DISCUS LARIAT BY THE CHALLENGER, AND JUST LIKE THAT TRIPLE J HAS FOUND HIS WAY BACK INTO THIS MATCH, AND HE IS ON FIRE, ALL THE WHILE HE IS MAKING SURE TO TARGET THE ARM!
Stew-O: Hendrx whiplashes head first into the mat from the discus lariat, but Triple J isn’t done here as he quickly grabs him by the hair, pulling him up into a seated position as he begins to step backward, looking like he is going to pick up some steam, AND HE RUNS STRAIGHT AT HENDRX, KNOCKING THE WIND OUT OF HIM WITH THE PENALTY KICK; BUT IT WAS TO THE DAMAGED ARM IN THE PROCESS! PJ SCREAMS OUT IN AGONY!
Flannery McCoy: PJ Hendrx is not in the best of positions now and I don’t think that Jay is done here, as he quickly pulls PJ back up to his feet, kneeing him in the gut and forcing him to double over, before he grabs him by the damaged arm, trapping it and leaping up… AND JAY FORCES THEM BACK DOWN INTO THE MAT, APPLYING EVEN MORE PRESSURE ONTO THE ARM WITH HIS KNEES USING THE ARM-TRAPPED BACKSTABBER! JAY COVERS!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: But once more, it is the Interwire Champion who is able to kickout right at the count of two, and you can see that Jay is starting to grow frustrated. This match and this championship means a whole lot to him and he is willing to go to any extent just to be able to achieve his goal, but what is going to be good enough to be able to keep the current champion down in the process?
(Jay Jerry Johnson already knows that he is going to have to do so much more than what he has been able to do right now if he wants to make it to the promised land of becoming the Interwire Champion. He gets up to his feet, looking down at PJ Hendrx.)
Stew-O: You can just see the look in Triple J’s eyes – it almost looks like he is a man possessed, as he grabs Hendrx by the hair, lifting him back to his feet. You can tell that Hendrx is defenseless, still trying to favor the damaged arm, BUT JAY ISN’T GOING TO HAVE ANY IT, KICKING PJ RIGHT INTO THE ROPES, BEFORE KNOCKING HIM OVER WITH THE KITCHEN SINK! Hendrx goes right back down to the mat, as Jay rushes into the ropes before dropping down and stabbing his elbow right into the champ’s chest.
Flannery McCoy: But Jay doesn’t even look close to being down with the torture, as he goes around the lifeless body of Hendrx… AND IT LOOKS LIKE JAY IS GOING TO ATTEMPT TO LOCK IN THE JERRY SPECIAL ‘99 – THE PERUVIAN NECKTIE, BUT HENDRX IS IMMEDIATELY ABLE TO GET HIS BEARINGS AND ROLLS OVER INTO THE ROPES, BEFORE ROLLING OUT ONTO THE APRON! Jay was going to lock in that submission and if he did, that might have been the end for PJ’s title reign.
Jake Mercer: Jay Jerry Johnson gets back to his feet as he notices Hendrx getting back to a standing position on the apron. Noticing this, Jay rushes toward the ropes, before nailing an enziguri from the inside of the ring right to the side of Hendrx’s skull, just about knocking him silly! Hendrx falls to a knee, as Jay exits out onto the apron. Whatever happens here isn’t going to be good, I just know that for a fact. :lupe:
Stew-O: As Jay steps out onto the apron, PJ Hendrx quickly spots it as he tries to get right back to his feet, looking to defend and protect himself from the attack that Jay is looking to inflict, but there is no use as Jay catches him with a forearm right to the face! That knocked Hendrx silly once more, as Jay looks around him, and an evil smirk appears on his face. I do not want to know what he is thinking about doing right now to PJ Hendrx.
Flannery McCoy: Jay Jerry Johnson is able to hook Hendrx’s arms, taking a quick look behind him before he takes a deep breath, as he doubles the champion over and brings him in close to himself… AND JAY LIFTS HENDRX UP INTO THE AIR FOR THE TIGER DRIVER ‘98!!! JAY IS GOING TO DROP HENDRX WITH ‘PROJECT ZEPERION,’ AND HE IS GOING TO DO IT ONTO THE APRON, AS HENDRX HAS NOWHERE TO GO!!! JAY IS GOING TO END THIS!
Jake Mercer: PJ HENDRX IS FIGHTING BACK! HE IS MAKING SURE THAT HE FIGHTS TRIPLE J OFF! Jay has no choice but to let go of Hendrx, as he stumbles backward on the apron. Hendrx tries to get back to his feet, BUT HE IS MET WITH A BOOT RIGHT TO THE FACE BY JAY, and just like that PJ Hendrx crumbles right off of the apron! If this was the Grand Rampage match and he had gone over the top rope beforehand, he would have been OUUUUUTTTT OF HEREEEEE!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Well Jake, thankfully this isn’t the Grand Rampage match, because that would have been a disappointing end to this amazing match that we have going on right now. But nonetheless, Hendrx is laying on the ringside floor right now as Jay watches his moves. Hendrx is able to make it to his feet, resting his arm up against the apron… AND JAY JERRY JOHNSON RUNS THE APRON BEFORE JUMPING UP, AND STABBING BOTH OF HIS FEET RIGHT INTO THAT DAMAGED ARM WITH THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP PJ’S IN PAIN!
Flannery McCoy: But I don’t think that Jay is done just yet, quickly grabbing Hendrx by the head, BEFORE HE SLAMS HIM RIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE ARM FIRST! Hendrx is once again having no other choice but to favor that hurt arm, AND THEN JAY RUNS HIS KNEE RIGHT INTO HENDRX’S ARM WHILE IT WAS UP AGAINST THE BARRICADE FOR INSULT TO INJURY! JAY HAS A STRATEGY HERE AND HE IS LOOKING TO WORK IT TO PERFECTION! But, look at the referee!
(While the onslaught is going on on the outside of the ring, the referee has no choice but to start the count of ten, hoping that both of the competitors will be able to make it back into the ring so that it doesn’t end in the most disappointing way possible.)
Referee: *ONE………*
Jake Mercer: :lupe:! It looks like the referee is going to start the ten count, but I don’t think that Jay is listening to it, as he just finding more ways to cause even more damage to Hendrx’s arm, pulling him over to the steel steps, AND HE TWISTS HIM AROUND WITH HENDRX’S ARM, LOOKING TO SEND HIM ARM FIRST RIGHT INTO THE STEEL STEPS! THIS MAN REALLY IS SICK!
Referee: *TWO………*
Stew-O: BUT PJ HENDRX FINDS A WAY TO TRANSITION IT AROUND AND GET HIMSELF OUT OF JAY’S GRIP, BEFORE HE QUICKLY GRABS HIM BY THE NEXT, REPOSITIONING HIMSELF, AND HE SENDS BOTH HIMSELF AND JAY RIGHT INTO THE STEEL STEPS WITH A HUGE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! HE HURT HIMSELF IN THE PROCESS, BUT HE DID SOME DAMAGE TO JAY AS WELL, AND THAT IS CLEARLY ON DISPLAY WITH HOW JAY HAS BEEN COMPLETELY LAID OUT RIGHT HERE!
Referee: *THREE………*
Flannery McCoy: But, the referee is going to continue the count regardless of whatever action happens, as it looks like PJ has made himself incapable of being able to move either from that russian leg sweep onto the steel steps. If this is how the match ends, we all know that the EAW Universe is going to end up being extremely disappointed, there is no doubt about that with how it is going along as of right now.
Referee: *FOUR………*
Jake Mercer: Look, Flannery; PJ Hendrx is finding a way to make some movement! Despite the amount of damage that has been done to his arm, he is still finding a way to pull himself back up to his feet, once again trying to stretch that arm out to try to maybe numb the pain or make it hurt less, but that isn’t the best of strategies to be doing with the ring count honestly.
Referee: *FIVE………*
Stew-O: And to make matters worse once more for PJ Hendrx; Jay Jerry Johnson is starting to make some movement as well! Hendrx notices this, taking a deep breath as he starts to back away, leaning up against the apron as Jay uses the barricade to pull himself up still on the outside of the ring, as the two are just staring directly at each other!
Referee: *SIX………*
Flannery McCoy: HENDRX DASHES AT TRIPLE J–
Jake Mercer: HOLY CRAP!!! JAY JUST CAUGHT HENDRX AND CAUGHT HIM WITH A HUGE SPANISH FLY ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING! WOW! THAT COULD BE THE DEFINING MOMENT THAT ENDS THIS MATCH AS JAY QUICKLY GRABS HENDRX, THROWING HIM INTO THE RING AND FOLLOWING SUIT! In an instant Jay just found that one moment that needed to have this match in the bag, and he might do it! He might win the Interwire Champion here at Grand Rampage tonight!
Stew-O: PJ Hendrx stumbles up to his feet and he has no idea what he is at right now from the spanish fly on the outside of the ring, AND JAY JERRY JOHNSON RUNS OFF THE ROPES; BEFORE TURNING HENDRX INSIDE OUT WITH THE ‘FLAMBAAAAGEEEEE SHOTTTT!!!!!!!’ THE ROCKET KICK CONNECTS, AND HENDRX MIGHT BE COMPLETELY OUT OF IT AS JAY QUICKLY DRAGS HIM OVER TO THE CENTER, AND HE HOOKS THE LEG! THIS CAN BE IT, ARE WE GOING TO SEE A NEW CHAMPION HERE?
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTT–
Flannery McCoy: HE’S STILL ALIVE! PJ HENDRX IS STILL ALIVE! JUST BARELY WAS HENDRX ABLE TO GET THE KICKOUT, AND JAY LOOKS EVEN MORE FRUSTRATED! HE THOUGHT THAT HE HAD THE MATCH WON RIGHT THERE, BUT IT WASN’T ENOUGH TO KEEP PJ DOWN! Jay is not happy whatsoever, as he quickly drags Hendrx back to his feet, AND HE IS GOING TO LOOK TO FINISH IT HERE WITH PROJECT ZEPERION–
Jake Mercer: But Hendrx is able to duck down and get out of Jay’s grip, quickly crawling away before getting to his feet, as Jay looks to grab a hold of him, BUT HENDRX WOULD RUN OFF THE ROPES AND HE CATCHES JAY JERRY JOHNSON WITH A HUGE DROPKICK SMACK ONTO THE JAW! Jay is completely dazed from that and despite the pain in Hendrx’s arm, he looks to be fired up! PJ is here to prove that he didn’t win the Interwire Championship by luck, and he is doing exactly that against Triple J!
Stew-O: PJ pulls Jay back up to his feet barely, grabbing a hold of him as it looks like Jay is going to try and fight out of his grasp, bu Hendrx wraps his arms around Jay, holding onto him tight; AND HE THROWS JAY OVER HIM WITH A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX, AND HE HOLDS HIM DOWN FOR THE BRIDGE! BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX INTO THE COVER FROM HENDRX, THROUGH ALL THE PAIN AND THIS MIGHT BE IT FOR TRIPLE J!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: But Jay Jerry Johnson manages to kickout of the suplex bridge, and I think he might have let his foot drop down right onto the injured arm of PJ’s, because he is right back to holding it now, as he backs up into the ropes, trying to bring some use to that arm before it might be too late, looking to avoid risk of further injury right here in this match, that would suck to see the champion get injured in such a high profile match like this.
Jake Mercer: Jay is slowly making it back up to his feet as well, Hendrx noticing this as he starts to walk over to him, but Jay stops him right in his tracks with a swift hook kick! That catches PJ off guard, as Jay is able to quickly grab a hold of him, dragging him back over to the middle of the ring, AND THEN HE HITS A BRAZILIAN KICK FOR GOOD MEASURES, AS PJ FALLS INTO THE ROPES…
Stew-O: HENDRX REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AND SPINS AROUND KNOCKING JAY DOWN WITH A SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK!! JAY GOES DOWN, AND PJ MAY HAVE IT RIGHT HERE! He quickly stumbles back up to his feet, rushing over to the corner as he starts to climb up to the top rope, and it looks like he is going to put the final end to this match, as Jay is completely out cold on the ring mat, he starts to get standing!!
Flannery McCoy: AND HENDRX LEAPS INTO THE AIR, TWISTING HIMSELF AROUND AND HE CONNECTS WITH CAAAATCHHHH YOURRR BREATHHHH!!!!!! PHOENIX SPLASH!!!!!
Jake Mercer: JAY JERRY JOHNSON MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!
Stew-O: BUT PJ HENDRX IS ABLE TO CATCH HIMSELF BEFORE ROLLING THROUGH AND RISES BACK TO HIS FEET, TURNING TO TRIPLE J, BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON CHARGES AT THE CHAMPION–
Flannery McCoy: PJ HENDRX JUMPS INTO THE AIR AND HE CAVES DOWN ONTO JAY’S CHEST WITH A LEAPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! HE JUST STABBED HIS FEET INTO JAY’S CHEST, AND DESPITE THE AGONY IN HIS DAMAGED ARM, HE QUICKLY GOES BACK TO THE TOP ROPE, AND HE IS GOING TO LOOK TO CONNECT WITH IT AGAIN!! PJ HENDRX WITH CAAAAATCHHHHHH YOURRR BREATHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: AND THIS TIME THE PHOENIX SPLASH CONNECTS!!! THE CORKSCREW INTO 450 SPLASH, AND HE LANDS RIGHT ONTO JAY WITH FORCE! PJ HENDRX HOOKS THE LEG, AND HE MIGHT RETAIN THE INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP! WILL THIS BE IT?
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTT–
Stew-O: JAY JERRY JOHNSON FINDS A WAY TO KICKOUT! JAY JUST BARELY KICKS OUT, AND YOU CAN TELL BY THE LOOK ON PJ HENDRX THAT NOT EVEN HE CAN BELIEVE IT! HE THOUGHT HE HAD THIS MATCH WON! PJ Hendrx was so close to retaining the Interwire Championship right then and there, but it looks like he is going to have to do so much more to even be able to keep Triple J down!
Flannery McCoy: PJ quickly gets back up to his feet, holding his arm as he is able to drag Jay back up his knees, and a knee right to Jay’s jaw! Jay is completely dazed, and you can see that Hendrx is ready to finish this match off, AND HE RUNS TOWARDS THE ROPES, BEFORE SPRINGBOARDING OFF OF THEM AND HE IS LOOKING TO FINISH THIS OFF WITH THE ‘PIERCE OF AFFLICTION–’
(But, as Hendrx jumps onto the ropes, he immediately has to push himself off it and down to the mat, the pressure on his arm by using his hands causing for him to stop right in his tracks, as he falls down to his knees.)
Jake Mercer: :krabs:
Stew-O: That slight hesitation might have cost PJ Hendrx here in this match, as he quickly stumbles back to his feet, turning around and JAY IS RIGHT THERE TO MEET HIM WITH A CATCHING REVERSE STO, SLAMMING HENDRX DOWN FACE FIRST RIGHT INTO THE MAT! That hesitation gave Jay the perfect opportunity to capitalize, and he quickly picks PJ back up, AND HE THROWS HIM AROUND BEFORE SLAMMING HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN INTO THE MATCH WITH AN INSANE MICHINOKU DRIVER!
Flannery McCoy: But it looks like Jay Jerry Johnson isn’t done, as he grabs a hold of PJ Hendrx by that damaged arm, before transitioning around, AND HE LOCKS IN THE LEBELL LOCK! THE LEBELL LOCK LOCKED IN! THE OMOPLATA CROSSFACE IS LOCKED IN TIGHT, AND PJ HENDRX IS SCREAMING OUT IN INTENSE AGONY! The amount of pressure that is on that injured arm! PJ might have to tap out here! Are we seeing the makings of a new champion?!
(PJ Hendrx is locked in the submission hold in the center of the ring, and you can see that he is trying to make the effort to the ropes; a small crawl, starting to slowly make it there, as Jay is trying to keep the hold in tighter.)
Jake Mercer: HENDRX IS MAKING THE CRAWL TO THE ROPES, BUT THE MORE HE CRAWLS; THE MORE PRESSURE THAT IS BEING PLACED DOWN ONTO HIS ARM! LOOK AT JAY WRENCHING BACK EVEN MORE! JAY IS A MAN POSSESSED AND HE’S GOING TO DO ANYTHING TO WIN THE INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP, AND WE’RE SEEING IT AS HE MIGHT PULL HENDRX’S ARM OUT OF THE SOCKET!
Stew-O: BUT HE’S ALMOST THERE! HENDRX IS ALMOST AN ARM’S LENGTH OF THE ROPES, AS HE CRAWLS A LITTLE BIT MORE, BEFORE REACHING OUT TO GRAB THE ROPE FOR A ROPE BREAK–
Flannery McCoy: JAY JERRY JOHNSON QUICKLY LETS GO OF THE SUBMISSION BEFORE HE EVEN MAKES THE ROPE BREAK, AND JAY BEGINS TO DRIVE HIS ELBOW RIGHT INTO THE SIDE OF HENDRX’S SKULL! OVER AND OVER AGAIN! HIS LIGHTS MIGHT BE TURNED OFF, AS JAY ISN’T STOPPING! THE REFEREE HAS TO STEP IN TO GET HIM OFF, BUT HENDRX MIGHT ALREADY BE OUT!
Jake Mercer: And Jay is going to grab him by the hair, lifting him up to all fours, BEFORE PLACING HIS KNEE DOWN ONTO HENDRX’S NECK AND DRIVING IT BACK INTO THE MAT! He picks Hendrx to his feet, as he drags him over to the middle of the ring, AND THIS IS GOING TO BE IT, AS JAY HOOKS THE ARMS, AND LIFTS HIM INTO THE AIR!!
Stew-O: AND HE CONNECTS WITH PROJECT ZEPERION!!! THE TIGER DRIVER ‘98!!! JAY MAY HAVE THIS MATCH WON, HE’S GOING TO DO IT! HE JUST PLANTED PJ ON HIS HEAD, AND HE THROWS HIM OVER AND SLIDES INTO THE PIN! JAY IS GOING TO BECOME CHAMPION! THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET!

HE THOUGHT HE FINALLY WON THE INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP, BUT IT WASN’T MEANT TO BE – AT LEAST NOT YET – AS PJ HENDRX STAYS ALIVE IN THIS MATCH! JAY ISN’T HAPPY AT ALL, AND HE QUICKLY LIFTS PJ BACK TO HIS FEET, AND HE’S GOING FOR ANOTHER ONE! HE’S GOING TO SPIKE HENDRX WITH ANOTHER PROJECT ZEPERION–
Jae Mercer: PJ FLIPS OUT OF IT AND GRABS A HOLD OF TRIPLE J BEFORE SPIKING HIM DOWN WITH A HUGE DDT!!! DESPITE THE PAIN IN HIS ARM PJ IS ABLE TO REVERSE IN SUCH A FASHIONABLE WAY, AS HE KIPS UP TO HIS FEET! Hendrx might be back in this right here, BUT JAY THEN KIPS UP AS WELL–
Stew-O: HENDRX KNOCKS HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH A HUGE SUPAAAKICKKKK!! PJ IS LOOKING TO RETAIN THE INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP, AND HE RUNS RIGHT OFF THE ROPES… BUT JAY QUICKLY GETS BACK TO HIS FEET, AND HE KICKS ONTO PJ’S CHEST, BEFORE BACKFLIPPING OFF HIM AND KNOCKING HIM DOWN WITH AN ENZIGURI! WHAT?! PJ crumbles down, but he is able to stumble right back up, while Jay rushes to the corner…
Flannery McCoy: AND JAY JUMPS UP TO THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND HE CONNECTS WITH PRETTY VISITOR!!! THE SLINGSHOT FRONT FLIP CUTTER!!
Jake Mercer: PJ HENDRX MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, AND JAY CRASHES AND BURNS! HE KNEW WHERE HE WAS AT, AND WAS ABLE TO GET AWAY FROM IT, AS HE HOLDS HIS ARM, STRETCHING IT OUT AS JAY STUMBLES BACK TO HIS FEET, AND HENDRX CATCHES HIM WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK RIGHT TO THE HEAD, BUT JAY’S STILL ON HIS FEET! HENDRX HAS TO DO MORE TO TAKE HIM DOWN, AS HE DRAGS HIM TO THE CENTER OF THE RING…
Stew-O: BUT JAY IS ABLE TO BREAK OUT OF PJ’S GRIP, GRABBING HIM INSTEAD AND THROWING HIM UP INTO THE AIR, BUT HENDRX FLIPS OUT OF IT AND OVER JAY, BEFORE STUMBLING OVER INTO THE ROPES! JAY TURNS AROUND–
Flannery McCoy: HENDRX SPRINGBOARDS ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE – AND HE DOES WITHOUT THE USAGE OF HIS HANDS, BEFORE TWISTING HIMSELF AROUND RIGHT INTO JAY WITH THE PIERCE OF AFFLICTIONNNNNN!!!!!!!!! THE SPRINGBOARD SPEAR CUTS JAY RIGHT IN HALF, AND HENDRX DROPS ONTO HIM FOR THE COVER!

(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘DNA’ by Kendrick Lamar hits the speakers once again to an explosion of both cheers yet boos as well, as PJ Hendrx pushes himself off of Jay Jerry Johnson, relishing in his victory. In a seated position in the center of the ring, the referee hands him his Interwire Championship, as Hendrx raises up to his feet, his good arm being raised high into the air; Hendrx ushers in victory.)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER; AND STIIILLLLL!!!!!! THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION, PJJJJJJJJJ HEEEEENNNDRXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: These two left everything in the ring here tonight. Both were more determined than ever before to leave Grand Rampage as the Interwire Champion. Jay Jerry Johnson at some moments had this victory right there, but in the end, PJ Hendrx was able to prove to the whole world just as to why he is champion with this incredible victory here tonight against Jay.
Flannery McCoy: Don’t discredit Jay. He brought everything and more. Being able to damage the arm of Hendrx early into this match, and using that as a target, being the reason that the match shifted over into what it was. Had he been able to capitalize off of it sooner, we could have seen a new Interwire Champion here tonight; this ending would’ve been different.
Jake Mercer: But, the fact of the matter is that it just wasn’t good enough here tonight. He tried his hardest, but in the end, PJ Hendrx was able to get his first successful championship defense, proving to the world that he wasn’t a fluke. Jay did good, but on this very night Hendrx was just better. Good match to both; congratulations to PJ Hendrx!
(Jay is left seated in the corner, disappointed. He thought that he had it won. PJ Hendrx stands in the middle of the ring, favoring his hurt arm, but is satisfied with how this match has come to an end. He raises the Interwire Championship into the air, as the camera would fade elsewhere from there, the final image being Hendrx holding his title high into the air in victory.)
(The graphic for the next match appears.)

Gina Romano: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Gina Romano: And it is FOR THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIIIIIIIIIIP!!!!!!!
(‘Pressure’ by Paramore plays through the sound system of the area and the crowd goes berserk!!! Cheering Alex Myers and rapidly chanting their name at the top of their lungs. They are seen making their way out to the stage looking utterly focused and serious with Willow standing by their side. In tune with the stakes of the match, they are about to get into! They take a moment to embrace the support shown by the audience before walking down the ramp.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST! THE CHALLENGER!!! Accompanied to the ring by Willow! From Auckland, New Zealand! Weighing in at 180 pounds. They are ‘The Guardian Angel’ AAAAALEEEEEXXXXX MYYYYYYYERRRRRRSSSS!!!!!
Deadprez: The road has been long and hazardous for this one who first was known to be The Forgotten One! He then became The Guardian Angel and if things go his way tonight he will gain a new moniker: The Champion! Here comes Alex Myers, sided by Willow and they are looking ready to embrace their destiny as they are to face Jake Smith in just a moment!
Gavin Kirkland: Alex Myers has proven to be one of the hardest workers around on Showdown and has amply justified the decision made to recognize them as Up Next in 2023! They have proven his detractors wrong and now he has an opportunity to immortalize themselves as a World Champion during one of our biggest Free-Per-View events of the year!
( ‘WAR’ by Grandson begins to blast through the speakers of TD Garden and its roof almost gets blown off from the reaction of the crowd! Jake Smith makes his appearance at the entranceway, patting the EAW Answers World Championship on his waist before walking down the aisle and spreading his arms.)
Gina Romano: AAAAAANNND THEIR OPPONENT!! From Atherton, California! Weighing in at 210 pounds! HE IS THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!! ‘THE PROCESS’ JAAAAAAAAAAKE SMIIIIIIIIIIITH!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Jake Smith’s reign thus far as Showdown’s World Champion is perhaps not as good as he would like it to be but no one can deny his incredible ability to shine when the moment requires him to excel inside the ring! He is building himself a reign that if he keeps it up will become a memorable and long-lasting one and tonight a challenge comes to him in the form of Up Next 2023!
Gavin Kirkland: Love Jake, Hate Jake, or be indifferent it doesn’t matter! Since he cashed in his Cash in the Vault briefcase, the man has shown us that he steps up to the occasion and he does not back down from any challenges. He is really making himself become The Process and I trust in Jake that he will deliver the kind of performance that will push his opponent to go above and beyond for a chance to topple him.
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Deadprez: AND HERE WE GO! This match for the biggest prize on Showdown is officially underway! The challenger looks upon the champion from his seated position in his corner while the Champion is standing in the middle of the ring waiting for them with an unimpressed glance. Folks this has the markings of a banger I can feel it as Alex moves up to meet with Jake and both are exchanging words.
Gavin Kirkland: Both men engage in a clinch, Jake tries for a headlock but Alex denies him slipping behind Smith AND LIFTING HIM UP FOR A TAKEDOWN! To the mat, the action goes now as Myers has Smith in a headlock! Jake quickly moves but Alex maintains the action grounded now on his knees behind Jake with his arms around his head!
Eve: The Champion manages to go to his feet, the challenger still holding the headlock but Jake forces his way behind Alex and held in a wristlock Myers spins and forces Smith down! Jake to his back gets leaped on by Alex who goes for a headlock seated on the floor! The action gets back to a vertical base quickly as both wrestlers are battling for early control of the match! For the advantage as Jake pushes Alex into the ropes!
Deadprez: Both men go to a clinch again and the struggle goes to a corner with Jake pushing Alex there. Keeping them in the corner until the official orders them to split apart and Smith obliges quickly. BUT ALEX MOVES TO THE SIDE’ ARM LOCK FROM MYERS before they duck low evading an elbow from the Champion who then gets pushed back in the corner.
Gavin Kirkland: The official orders separation but Darby keeps the hold moving both men to the center of the ring and has the lock in from Jake’s back who tries to free himself from it. Smith twists and turns trying to reverse or break the hold but Alex is right there moving along with him until Jake reaches under and between his legs, grabs at one of Alex’s, and trips them down! That broke the hold.
Eve: But Myers throws a kick to the legs of Jake which helps them parkour roll up to his feet! Smith turns around; he doesn’t appreciate the kick to the back of the knee as he stares at his opponent. He moves towards Myers looking for a clinch from Alex evades. Jake sidesteps and Myers flips ending in both elitists being in a standoff in the center of the ring! Myers with intensity in their eyes looks at Smith who looks calm and composed early on in this fight.
Deadprez: And here goes Myers extending a hand in good sport to Jake who doesn’t seem impressed by the idea, but he goes for it Myers turns it into a wrist lock but then Jake rolls trying to get out of it BUT Alex rolls as well AND MANAGES TO GET JAKE IN A PINNING SITUATION!!!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
Deadprez: And Jake kicks out quickly! He moves to his feet, going to a corner.
Jake Smith: Oh yeah? Okay! Alright.
Deadprez: Smith makes his way to Alex SMACKING THEM SQUARE IN THE MOUTH!!! Myers backs themselves into a corner. I think sportsmanship between the two competitors just flew out the window folks! Jake grins as Myers is holding their jaw. The Champion moves to the corner grabbing an arm and looking to whip his opponent to the other corner but Myers holds onto the rope behind them! Jake tries a second time, no good AND THEN HE HITS THE DECK AND THROWS A PUNCH UPWARD TO ALEX!!
Deadprez: Jake moves by the side of Alex and sets up a Russian leg sweep that is perfectly executed. Myers is on their back in pain but tries to get back to their feet as Smith already was and is stalking his contender with intentions to hurt. Alex now to their feet GETS TAKEN DOWN BY A BACKSTABBER!!
Gavin Kirkland: Smith goes atop Alex in a half-mounted position and begins to pummel his opponent with punches and elbows AND ALEX TURNS IT AROUND DOING THE SAME ONTO THE CHAMPION!! The two roll and punch trading being on top before they both get up on their feet. To the ropes they go, Myers gets sent bouncing AND GETS TAKEN DOWN WITH AN ENZUIGIRI!!
Eve: Alex is rather quick to get back to their feet but is met with an elbow from Jake stunning them a bit just enough to be set up for a butterfly backbreaker! Jake quickly moves and picks his opponent up, driving a stiff knee to the midsection that almost lifts Myers’ feet off the ground! He hooks the legs AND SENDS ALEX FLYING WITH A DOUBLE ARM SUPLEX!
Deadprez: Jake is in command of the match at this point as he moves Alex up and sends them into the ropes. SHOULDER BLOCK! End result Alex Myers is on their back but Jake is forcing them back on their feet, he throws an elbow to the side of Alex’s face before moving them up, scooping off their feet BEFORE TAKING THEM DOWN WITH A POWERSLAM!!! THE CHAMPION FOR A COVER!!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
Deadprez: MYERS With The Shoulder Up!!
Gavin Kirkland: Alex, ever the resilient one, doesn’t give up a chance to become World Champion tonight! But they won’t hoist the big one over their heads if they keep getting pinned! Smith is being rather methodical at the moment as he has Myers in an armlock but then both of them are up to their feet AND SMITH TRIES FOR A SLEEPER HOLD!!
Eve: MYERS IS STRUGGLING! FLAILING THEIR ARMS TRYING NOT TO FALL VICTIM TO THE MOVE AND THEY PUSH JAKE TO THE ROPES! They get free BUT GETS A SHINING WIZARD TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Myers goes to thier knees AND THEN ON THEIR FACE FOLLOWING A DROPKICK FROM BEHIND BY THE CHAMPION!
Deadprez: Myers is looking to try and recover as they roll to the outside of the ring. Jake follows suit, going for a double ax handle to the spine BUT ALEX THROWS A BACK KICK THAT STUNS SMITH! Myers is trying to reverse the tide as he SMACKS JAKE’S FACE ON THE APRON BEFORE SWINGING HIM BACK FIRST ON THE BARRICADE!!
Gavin Kirkland: The crowd reacts favorably to this attempt to gain momentum by the Guardian Angel who then quickly gets Jake back inside the ring and up to his feet. The Champion is sent to the ropes, Myers goes for a clothesline but Smith ducks under it! SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY ON ALEX!!!
Eve: WHO TURNS IT INTO A PINFALL AT-NO JAKE ROLLS AND ENDS UP PINNING MYERS!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
Eve: ALEX LIFTS THE SHOULDER AND SEPARATES FROM JAKE!
Deadprez: Smith does a kip-up moving to his feet as Alex goes to a knee. Jake throws a knee trying to strike at Myers’ chest but Alex caught it BUT THEY GET JAKE’S OTHER KNEE TO THE JAW!!!! Myers is down on their knees looking stunned as Jake stares them down and begins to throw some heavy kicks to his chest!
Gavin Kirkland: One after another! Five thrown in already! Seven! Eight! Nine! TEN KICKS TO THE CHEST OF ALEX MYERS AND JAKE FINISHES WITH A SUPERKICK THAT TAKES DOWN MYERS!! COVER BY THE CHAMPION!!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MYERS KICKS OUT OF THAT ONE! Wow!!
Eve: Alex Myers doesn’t want to end the match that way, they are showing us they have heart and is able to handle the beating that Jake is forcing them through but how long can he last? He needs to get some offense going or this will not end well for them!
Deadprez: Jake is now on his feet, looking down at Alex before grabbing them by the back of the head BUT ALEX HAS A SUDDEN SURGE OF ENERGY AND BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON SMITH! RIGHT HAND! LEFT HAND! RIGHT HAND! AND SUDDENLY GOES TO THE ROPES TO GAIN MOMENTU-
Gavin Kirkland: SPINBUSTEEEEEEEEERRRR!!!!! ALEX JUST SPRINGBOARDED THEMSELVES INTO A THUNDEROUS SPINEBUSTER! THEY WERE GOING FOR A CROSSBODY BUT JAKE HAD OTHER PLAYS! WHAT A BRILLIANT COUNTER FROM OUR CHAMPION! Smith is picking up Myers before sending them into a corner, he goes to the opposite one before charging in into a European uppercut!
Eve: BUT ALEX MOVES TO THE SIDE! JAKE’S BACK AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES AND ALEX IS UNLOADING FISTS AND ELBOWS BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO KICKS AS JAKE CRUMBLES TO THE RING FLOOR!! HE’S GETTING A MUDHOLE STOMPED OUT OF HIM! MYERS IS WALKING IT DRY AND THE FANS LOVE IT!! Alex grabs onto the ropes moving up AND DRIVES BOTH KNEES AGAINST JAKE’S CHEST!!
Deadprez: Smith crumbles to his side but he gets picked up by Alex who doesn’t give him some respite as he is moved into the center of the ring, Alex goes to the ropes and NAILS JAKE WITH A SHOTGUN DROPKICK! Smith backs himself into the ropes and Alex goes back to get some momentum by bouncing on the opposite ropes AND TACKLES SM-NO JAKE JUMPED OVER THE TOP ROPE AND NAILED ALEX WITH A SUNSET FLIP BOMB!!
Deadprez: JAKE WITH A COVER! WILL THIS BE ENOUGH??
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
Deadprez: IT ISN’T! ALEX MYERS LIFTS THE SHOULDER AFTER TWO!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake is looking at the official, who confirms to the Champion this was only a two count and Smith nodded before getting back to his feet. Looking down on his opponent he picks Myers up and takes them down with a simple scoop slam. Alex is holding their back as they get brought back up to their feet THIS TIME THEY ARE SET UP IN A WHEELBARROW GERMAN SUPLEX! BUT ALEX LANDS ON THEIR FEET!! JACK DOESN’T KNOW AS HE GETS UP AND ALEX SENDS HIM OVERHEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX OF THEIR OWN!!
Deadprez: Myers is on the attack now as they throw a series of punches to Jake before dashing forward and taking him down with a clothesline! They go for a second clothesline as Smith is getting to his feet but is denied! Another clothesline keeps the Champion grounded FOLLOWED WITH A DISCUSS CLOTHESLINE!! Alex is telling the Champion to stay down but of course, a few clotheslines aren’t what will stop our Champion for sure!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake then is whipped into the ropes and a trip sends him falling against the second rope, he hangs onto it AND ALEX GOES INTO A SUICIDE DIVE GRABBING SMITH’S HEAD AS HE SLIDES OUT OF THE RING! LIKE A GUILLOTINE AND JAKE BOUNCES BACK INSIDE THE RING HOLDING HIS THROAT!!
Eve: What a move by Alex looking to put on some pain and damage on the Champion! Smith is rolling under the ropes and holding his throat as Alex is moving to the outside from one end and charges towards Jake SHOTGUN DROPKICKING HIM AND LANDING ON THE APRON! WOAH!
Deadprez: Smith is kicked to the mat outside of the ring with that move and the crowd loves it! Myers stands on the apron looking down on his opponent AND JUMPS DOWN ON HIM WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP SQUARE ON THE CHEST OF THE CHAMPION!!! Alex is going hard on Jake as they move the Champion against the security railing around the ring and moves to the other side of the ring. They start running AND GOES FOR A SHOTGUN DROPKICK!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MYERS JUST CRUSHED JAKE AGAINST THE GUARDRAIL!! The crowd is enjoying this and Myers seems about ready to deliver more as they move to the side of Jake who’s seated against the barricade AND MYERS BEGINS TO THROW KICKS AFTER KICKS AT Smith’s CHEST!!!
Crowd: YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake is taking the brunt of it all as Myers keeps on unloading those kicks until they stop and quickly get the Champion to his feet ONLY TO SLAM HIM DOWN WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!!!!
Deadprez: The referee to the inside of the ring is counting after he orders the action to resume inside the squared circle and the contender obliges by sending the Champion under the ropes followed by themselves soon after. Myers goes behind Smith hugging him AND DEADLIFTING THE MAN INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX!!! What a display of power from Myers who then quickly goes topside to one of the corners AND DELIVERS A SENTON BOMB!!! Perfectly executed and they follow it with a cover!!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
Deadprez: The Champion lifts a shoulder up! Great effort from Alex but they will need to do more in order to win but this is good! Half mounted atop of Smith the Guardian Angel unloads punches before quickly getting up and making Jake follow suit. Into the ropes goes the Champion WHO HEAD HEADBUTTED BY HIS OPPONENT! Jake is reeling AND GETS THROWD SUDDENLY INTO A CORNER WITH A BUCKLE BOMB!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Myers is going hard into this match, they have every reason to for this is for the biggest prize on Showdown! AND ALEX GOES FOR A CROSSFACE!!! ALEX MYERS WITH A CROSSFACE ON JAKE SMITH IS DEAD IN THE CENTER OF THE RING AND JAKE HAS NOWHERE TO GO!!!!! THIS COULD BE IN THE SMITH AS HE’S FLAILING HIS ARMS LIKE WILD AND TRYING TO CRAWL TOWARDS THE ROPES BUT MYERS KEEPS HIM IN PLACE!!!
Eve: ALEX IS PULLING HARD!! THEIR HANDS TIGHTLY ON JAKE’S FACE AS TH-Hey wait Myers is suddenly screaming in pain! They let go of Jake and shake off one of their hands.
Alex Myers: Motherfucker just bit me!!!!
Eve: He Did What??
Gavin Kirkland: Wow! This just goes to show what Jake is willing to do in order to keep his Championship!
Deadprez: The official can’t do anything as he didn’t see what happened but Myers shows him the palm of their hand there are obvious red marks there! Jake bit hard but the official orders this match to continue as he warns the Champion he won’t tolerate that kind of behavior further!! Myers sneers at his opponent who just got back on their feet, grinning somehow while struggling on the ropes that he then uses to bounce his way to Alex WHO WELCOMES HIM WITH AN EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!
Gavin Kirkland: It sends Jake back into the ropes, bouncing and stumbling towards his opponent WHO HAS HIM SPINNING INTO A FALCON ARROW!!! DOWN GOES JAKE AND ALEX TRIES A PINFALL!!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: The Champion fights on as he kicks out at two!! Myers looks at the official who confirms the two counts while to the outside Willow is banging on the apron to encourage Alex to fight on. Nodding they look down at Jake before forcing him to his feet and grabbing at his arm, twisting it and working on some joint manipulation before moving close to the ropes.
Eve: Look at Myers they are moving to a corner and begin to walk on the top rope!!! Jake can’t do a thing his arm is locked AND ALEX SENDS JAKE FLYING WITH A HURRICANRANA!!! Smith is on the ground groaning in pain as Alex moves to the nearest second rope AND THROWS THEMSELVES AT JAKE WITH A SPRINGBOARD ELBOW DROP!!
Deadprez: Alex quickly grabs at Smith’s head forcing him up quickly AND SETS HIM UP WITH A COBRA CLUTCH BACKBREAKER!!! Jake is in pain holding his back as he goes to his knees AND MYERS IS ON THE ATTACK AGAIN WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! THEY ROLL THROUGH THE MOTION AND LIFT JAKE INTO A SPIN-OUT POWERBOMB!!! WOAAAH!!! MYERS GOES FOR A PINFALL!!!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
Deadprez: AND THE CHAMPION LIFTS A SHOULDER UP!! Myers is commanded this isn’t looking good for Jake as he is forced up to his feet again AND THROWS A THUMB TO THE EYES OF MYERS AND ROLLS OUT OF THE RING!! The referee is telling Jake he shouldn’t be doing this but the Champion doesn’t care as he tries to recover.
Gavin Kirkland: Hey look at Willow! She’s going in Jake’s face giving him a piece of her mind but Smith doesn’t seem to be bothered by it and focuses on his recovery.
Eve: Myers is moving to the outside of the ring, behind Jake who doesn’t realize it! JAKE’S FACE JUST GOT SMACKED AGAINST THE CORNER POST HARD!!
Deadprez: And he’s holding his face, this must be hurting! Alex is running to another side of the ring before turning and then dashing towards the other corner BEFORE LEAPING BETWEEN THE APRON AND THE BOTTOM ROPE AND GRAB AT JAKE DRILLING HIM DOWN INTO A DDT!!!! WHAT A MOVE BY MYERS AND NOW THE CHAMPION IS IN TROUBLE!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MYERS HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOME MASSIVE DAMAGE TO THE CHAMPION AND PERHAPS GET CLOSER TO EVEN BECOMING THE CHAMPION! What is Alex going to do? They grab Jake by the hair, scooping him up and slamming him down on our Spanish announce table! Our colleagues are getting out of the way folks because this doesn’t bode well!
Eve: Myers throws some punches to the Champion’s face as they are considering their options as to what to do next! They look inside the ring and then up. They seem thoughtful, uh oh they have an idea! What will Alex do? Quickly slipping inside the ring they go up to the top corner closest to our table and the Champion. They are turning their back on Jake, ALEX IS ABOUT TO GO FOR THE COFFIN DROP FROM THE TOP OF THE CORNER!!!
Deadprez: This is the biggest risk Alex took thus far since this match started! If they land this the pain Smith will go through will be HUGE!!! MYERS DROPS!
CRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: ALEX JUST WENT THROUGH OUR SPANISH ANNOUNCEMENT TABLE BUT JAKE MOVED OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!!!!!!!!!!! OH, MY GAWWDDD!!!!!!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!!
Deadprez: MYERS COULD HAVE JUST BROKEN HIS BACK WITH THAT MOVE!!!! They are writhing in a whole lot of pain right now looking as if they look semi-conscious with a hand on the low of their back. The EMTs and officials are rushing to them to see if they are okay as they try to move to their knees but are holding their back and this doesn’t bode well for them at all.
Gavin Kirkland: Jake meanwhile has been moving back inside the ring while the official is looking on and Alex is telling the staff around them that they want to fight on so the referee inside the ring begins to make the count AND ALEX IS STRUGGLING TO GET TO HIS FEET!! Oh no, this isn’t good and Jake is smirking seeing this like a shark who smells blood in the water!
Eve: Smith goes back outside of the ring heading to meet with Myers before the Guardian Angel could get inside the ring. Rolling him to the apron he goes back up there himself, what is he going to do here folks as he helps a hurt Alex up w-wait a minute NO! A SCOOP SLAM ON THE APRON!! THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING AND MYERS IS WRITHING IN PAIN AS THEY ROLL BACK INSIDE THE RING!!!
Deadprez: Jake looks like a predator stalking prey right now as he moves close to Myers who just got on their feet, sending them to a corner while holding the back of their head, AND BEGINS SMASHING IT AGAINST THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!! The fans are counting!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
FOUR!!!!
FIVE!!!!!
SIX!!!!!!
SEVEN!!!!!!!
EIGHT!!!!!!!!
NINE!!!!!!!!!
…
…
TEN!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Alex is holding onto the corner by the ropes, their head leaning on the corner and Jake turns them around AND MOVES TO HAVE MYERS ON HIS SHOULDERS INTO AN ELECTRIC CHAIR DROP POSITION! MYERS TRIES TO FEND THE MOVE OFF AS SMITH WALKS TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE RING BY THROWING DOWN PUNCHES AT JAKE… WHO THEN DROPS THEM INTO A BACKSTABBER!!!! HOLY HELL!!
Eve: Smith observes his opponent who is moving to their knees holding their back despite what was just done to them AND HE THEN THROWS A HARD KNEE TO THE SPINE OF MYERS!! Alex appears to be in trouble as they struggle to get up as Jake gets them to a vertical base. Irish whip into a corner with force SENDING MYERS BETWEEN THE ROPES AND AND HITTING BACK FIRST AGAINST THE CORNER POST AND CRUMBLING OUTSIDE OF THE RING!!!
Deadprez: That was a vicious whip from Smith as Willow is rushing to Alex’s side to check up on them. He’s wincing in pain but they appear to tell their friend it’s okay that they will continue yet they clearly look like there’s something wrong with their back! How will that affect the match? This isn’t good.
Gavin Kirkland: Jake knows something’s going on as well as he is leaning down against the ropes looking at his opponent asking them if that’s all they’ve got! Taunting the wounded contender who is working to make his way back to the ring. Jack steps back a little seemingly looking to let Alex move inside the ring on their own without attacking.
Eve: Alex has a knee on the apron now and Jack suddenly goes to meet them, hopping on the second rope and SMACK ALEX IN THE FACE! Myers turns their back to Smith who grabs their waist and OH MY GAAWWWD A GERMAN SUPLEX OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH ELEVATION FROM THE SECOND ROPE BY SMITH!! MYERS ALMOST LANDS ON THEIR HEAD!!! WHAT A MOVE FROM THE CHAMPION!!!
Deadprez: On their end, Myers is holding the back of their neck as Smith is giving a piece of his mind to Willow and the two are throwing some expletives at one another! Smart move from Willow to hook Smith in and give Alex time to recover but Smith doesn’t entertain this for long and goes towards Myers who’s on their knees AND SUDDENLY DASHES FORWARD WITH A HEADBUTT!!
Gavin Kirkland: Myers attempting a comeback now as they power through the pain but they they a knee to the gut from Smith and whipped harshly against a corner forcing Myers to fall flat on his face! The crowd boos the Champion as he looks at them saying he’s just doing his job and trying to retain his Championship! Well, he ain’t wrong I mean it’s not like Alex getting hurt was his doing, at first at least.
Eve: Can’t fault Smith for looking to capitalize on the opportunity as Myers is managing to get to a vertical base. Smith goes on the attack looking to throw a clothesline as Alex is parting from the corner BUT MYERS QUICKLY SETS JAKE UP FOR A DEATH VALLEY DRIVER AND MAKES IT LAND AGAINST THE CORNER!! WOAH!! A GREAT COUNTER BY MYERS WHO DROPS TO THEIR KNEES CLUTCHING ON THEIR BACK WITH BOTH HANDS!!
Deadprez: The Champion is in control now as he grabs hold of the back of Alex’s neck and begins to unload punches to the top of his opponent’s head!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake Smith rolls to the outside of the ring, trying to create separation between him and the challenger but Alex is moving through the ropes and stands on the apron! They are taking a few steps back as if to get ready to pull off a move the moment an unsuspecting Jake turns around and Smith slowly does!
Eve: His eyes go wide as he sees Alex rushing his way BUT WITH LIGHTNING QUICK SPEED HE THROWS A SUPERKICK TO ALEX’ LEGS MAKING THEM FALL ON THIER FACE!!!
Deadprez: What reaction time from Smith who moves to try and get to Alex BUT THEY GET SMACKED IN THE FACE and stumbles against the barricade behind them! Myers with some pain moves to their feet and stands inside the ring, looking down at Smith they sense an opportunity as they dash into the ropes.
Gavin Kirkland: Bouncing and wincing against them TOPE CON HI-NOOO!!! JAKE MOVED OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND AND MYERS CRASHES INTO THE BARRICADE!! MY GAWD!!!!
Eve: A look of concern on the face of Willow who watches on at Alex is looking worse for wear laying at the base of the barricade as Jake is looking down on his opponent before pressing a boot to their neck! The official warns the Champion to stop and he ends the move BY RUBBING THE SOLE OF HIS BOOT AGAINST ALEX’S FACE!!!
Jake Smith: Stay down Alex, this won’t end the way you want!
Alex Myers: …F….Fuck you Smith.
Eve: Did I hear them correctly?
Deadprez: You did this brings Jake to smack his opponent behind the head and then roughly grab them and WHIP THEM AGAINST THE APRON BEFORE CLOTHESLINING THEM INTO THE RING! That’s further punishment on Myers’ back just how much will be able to handle before it gives up on him!
Jake Smith: I will teach you a lesson, you little shit!
Deadprez: Uh oh, now the Champion is angry, what is Jake going to cook up now? He is moving Myers to a corner, driving some hard elbows to the back of their head before hoisting them up so Alex sits on the top turnbuckle.
Gavin Kirkland: Jake stands on the second rope looking to have Myers into a position to flip him and take him down to the mat below but the guardian angel resists! The Champion tries again but the Contender doesn’t let go of the corner BUT SUDDENLY THROWS AN ELBOW TO SMITH’S FACE!!
Eve: Jake is stunned and Myers shifts his position AND GOES OVER JAKE LANDING UNDER HIM AND EXECUTES A TOP ROPE SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!!!!!! JAKE’S LEGS ARE POINTING TO THE SKIES!! MYERS WITH A COVER!!!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
Eve: SMITH LIFTS A SHOULDER UP JUST In A NICK OF TIME!!!
Deadprez: What a counter from Myers who is trying to get back into this match despite having obvious issues with thier back. They shove Smith away from them and move to take a knee trying to get back fully standing under the encouragement of Willow and the capacity crowd here at TD Garden!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake is slowly moving back to his feet, looking shaken a little bit as he seems to look to gain his bearings AND LOOK AT MYERS WHO JUST SCOOPED HIM ON THIER SHOULDERS!!
Eve: MYERS LOOKS IN PAIN AS THE WEIGHT OF JAKE IS INTENSE BUT THEY SUDDENLY START RUNNING AND EXECUTES A FORBIDDEN PARADISE!!! THE RUNNING SNAKE EYE POWERSLAM LANDS AND MYERS IS CLUTCHING THIER BACK HARD! TO THE POINT WHERE THEY DON’T GO FOR A PINFALL!!!
Deadprez: This is a pivotal moment in the match folks, if Alex isn’t able to perform certain moves this is bad! But look at Myers! They are fighting the pain, grunting hard looking to get back to their feet while Jake is doing the same! The challenger moved close to the Cham-
Gavin Kirkland: BROKEN WINGS!!!! THE SNAP-SWINGING NECKBREAKER CONNECTS AND ALEX DROPS DOWN!!! This is an opportunity for Jake Smith to end this match and retain his title! What is he going to do next?
Eve: He is moving to a corner as Alex is painfully trying to get back to their feet! Jake is itching to get the next move in! I have a feeling I know what he’s going for!! Myers is on their knees now and Jake charges!
Deadprez: KAIOKEN!!!! THE BOMAYE TO THE BACK OF ALEX’S HEAD AND THEY DROP LIKE DEADWEIGHT!!! THIS IS IT!! JAKE GOES FOR A COVER!!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: WHAAAAAT????
Eve: MYERS BY I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MIRACLE KICKED OUT OF THAT MOVE AT TWO POINT NINE NINE NINE!!!!! MYERS IS STILL IN THIS MATCH AND JAKE IS IN DISBELIEF!!!!
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!
Deadprez: Jake just pulled out one of his best moves to take down Alex! He looks convinced that he had this match bagged and he looks at the official who confirms one of the closest near fall I’ve ever seen and with that Myers is still in this fight! But how much is left in the tank after this?
Gavin Kirkland: Jake turns his gaze down to Alex and there is an ice-cold stare coming off the man, on know what is he going to do? He picks up Alex, hoisting them to his shoulders.
Jake Smith: I’m going to torture you, Alex!
Eve: Is he … YES HE’S GOING FOR THE TORTURE RACK ON MYERS!! THAT MUCH BE EXCRUCIATING BUT WAIT!! ALEX JUST STUNNED JAKE WITH A KNEE TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD AND HOLY SHIT!!!! THEY FLIPPED JAKE WITH THE FINAL SYMPHONY!!!! THE CRUCIFIX DRIVER INTO A LUNG BLOWER LANDS THE CHAMPION HARD ON THE MAT!!!
Deadprez: COVER BY MYERS!!! WILL IT BE ENOUGH TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP?????

Gavin Kirkland: HOW DID HE KICK OUT OF THAT????? MYERS JUST THREW HIM ONE OF THEIR BEST SHOT, AND THE CHAMPION BAILS HIMSELF OUT OF IT AT THE VERY LAST SECOND TOO!!!!
Eve: Both Warriors look spent, Myers worse than Jake but both are slowly working to get back up this has been an absolute banger thus far folks and the fans want some more!!!!
Deadprez: Both Myers and Smith are on their knees now trading blows! Looking tired and in pain! Blast by Alex! Back at Them by Smith! And again! The crowd is going YAAAAAY!!! BOOO!! YAAAAY!!! BOOO!!!!! UNTIL THEY CHEER AS BOTH ELITISTS THROW FLURRIES OF PUNCHES AT EACH OTHER!! HOW CAN ARE THEY EVEN ABLE TO PULL THAT OFF???

Deadprez: SMITH GOT ABOUT FIFTEEN OF THESE KICKS INTO ALEX’S CHEST!!! MYERS AIN’T MOVING AND WILLOW LOOKS HELLA CONCERNED ABOUT THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING! HER HANDS COVERED HER MOUTH WITH WIDEYES!
Gavin Kirkland: JAKE SMITH DROPS DOWN ON ALEX! This has got to be it folks, no way Myers kicks out of this! Just no way!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
( DING! DING!! DING!!! )
( ‘WAR’ by Grandson begins to blast through the speakers of TD Garden as Jake Smith steps away from Alex Myers and gladly takes the title handed to him by the official and pushes it over his head with both hands! )
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen the winner of this match AND STILL THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION: JAAAAAAAAKE SMIIIIIIIIIIIIIITH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: WHAT AN EPIC MATCH WE JUST WITNESSED HERE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! We’ve seen Alex go through hellacious matches in the past and make great displays of heart and resiliency but this match here was on another level! Tonight despite injury and great amounts of pain they didn’t want to surrender, they didn’t want to submit and it took Jake’s ultimate attack in order to put them down!
Gavin Kirkland: I agree with you Deadprez, the kid a magistral effort but unfortunately the ending wasn’t in thier favor. Jake dished out everything he had at Alex and the Guardian Angel threw it back to him and had great chances of winning BUT! It didn’t come to be.
Eve: Credits to Jake Smith for taking advantage of that bad landing from Alex when they attempted that drop through the table earlier in the match. The battle wasn’t the same for Alex since and while they did what they could to go through the pain it ended up being too much under the constant assault from Jake. Congratulations to the Champion for retaining his title!
( The final shot is of Jake Smith standing on the ramp leading to backstage, holding his championship happily in his arms while EMT’s are tending to Alex with a worried Willow standing behind the people tending to her friend. )
(Grand Rampage fades to the next match graphic.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Bella Braxton: AND IT IS FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!
(The camera fades to the stage, and “Kamikaze” by Redhook plays as Daryl Kinkade walks out to a loud, positive reaction from the crowd. The fans are cheering, and Daryl remains on the stage for a few seconds as he thinks about the match he has ahead of him, knowing that this is his chance to win his very first World Championship. He scans around before taking a huge deep breath and making his way to the ring, soaking in the moment ready for the fight of his life.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST THE CHALLENGER… FROM NORWICH, ENGLAND… WEIGHING IN AT 225 POUNDS… HE IS “THE KINK OF ELITE”… DARRRYYLLLL KIINNKKADDDDEEEEE!!!!!
James Peters: Just look at the look on his face, that’s the look of someone with something to prove and someone who is ready to become a World Champion here tonight!
Rich Russillo: He’s heard it all the past few weeks from “he doesn’t deserve to be here’ to being called a stepping stone by his opponent tonight and he looks ready to silence all that here tonight and became World Champion!
Persephone: Well, Daryl has the chance to prove Myles wrong right now. If Daryl wants to win that title he’s gonna have to bring his best, and more importantly, make sure that the match ends!
(‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi blares throughout the arena, receiving another positive reaction despite all that has occurred in the past few weeks. Before long, the EAW World Champion himself would begin walking out to the stage, staring directly at his second challenger for that title. Myles has the EAW World Championship around his waist, and paces back and forth on the stage for just a few seconds before finally he begins walking down the ramp, with his eyes dead set on Daryl Kinkade in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT… FROM MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA…WEIGHING IN AT 215 POUNDS… HE IS THE REIGNING EAW WORLD CHAMPION… “THE PEAK”… MYYYLLLLLEEESSSSS!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Here comes the man on Sunday nights who’s just been on a tear since returning. We all heard what his thoughts on tonight’s match are, do you think he’s right in those statements about Daryl?
James Peters: I mean with somebody with his resume and the people he’s been able to beat, I don’t really blame him. Even with those views, he’s smart and knows what Daryl will do tonight in order to take him down and knows that he’s about to be in a fight.
Rich Russillo: Maybe so. However, we can’t forget the fact that Daryl has never been a World Champion like Myles has. While he may be looked down on by the Champion, Daryl could be walking into this with something to prove.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: And this championship match is underway as both Myles and Daryl stare at one another from opposite corners. They circle the ring by not taking their eyes off one another before they slowly step up to one another in the center of the ring just staring deep into the eyes of one another. It looks like they’re sharing a few words with each other!
Rich Russillo: You’re right, and I don’t think Daryl liked what he heard! Dadyl throws several right hands to the face of Myles backing him up against the ropes, and then he goes for an Irish whip, but Myles reverses it! Daryl goes for a running clothesline – BUT MYLES DUCKS IT AND THEN APPLIES A SLEEPER HOLD FROM BEHIND! Daryl is trying to fight out of it but Myles transitions into a side headlock, and then flips Daryl on his back applying as much pressure as he can, but not for long as Daryl uses his legs clipping Myles head before both of them race up to their feet. Daryl again tries to go for another clothesline, but Myles ducks it and runs and springboards off the second rope – AND DELIVERS A SPRINGBOARD ENZIGURI KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!
Persephone: That causes Daryl to backpedal a few steps before dropping down to a knee, and now it’s Myles who charges at Daryl full speed….BUT DARYL COUNTERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP SENDING MYLES OVER THE TOP ROPE! Seems like Daryl is unaware that Myles held on to the apron, and now Daryl turns around as Myles springboards off the top rope- BUT DARYL SWIPES THE LEG OF MYLES CAUSING HIM TO LOSE HIS BALANCE ON THAT TOP ROPE! Myles is a sitting duck laying stomach first on the top rope, AND DARYL RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND DRIVES THE KNEE INTO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH FULL FORCE WHICH CAUSES MYLES TO FALL DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE FLOOR OUT OF THE RING!
Rich Russillo: Daryl is feeling pumped up and feeds off the crowd as he now takes this chance and ascends up the top turnbuckle and looks down at Myles who stands up on the outside – AND DARYL LAUNCHES HIMSELF AND TAKES OUT MYLES WITH A CROSSBODY!! Daryl is feeling fired up even more than he was a moment prior before getting Myles up and tossing him back inside the ring. This very well just might be Daryl’s night! Daryl hops up on the apron waiting for Myles to stand back up, AND DARYL LAUNCHES HIMSELF THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE AND DRILLS MYLES HEAD INTO THE MAT WITH A TORNADO DDT! And now Daryl goes for the first cover of this match!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
James Peters: And Myles with the kickout, and Daryl goes back on the attack as he puts Myles in a grounded headlock! Daryl has it locked in tight, however Myles manages to get to a knee and then up to a vertical base. Daryl quickly shuts him down though as he has him grounded once more! Again though Myles is trying to fight out of Daryl’s grip as he again gets on a knee before throwing several elbows into the midsection before throwing Daryl off him into the ropes, AND MYLES CONNECTS WITH A HIP TOSS! Daryl stands up in the corner and here comes Myles who charges at him with a full head of steam… AND DELIVERS A LEAPING FOREARM STRIKE RIGHT TO THE FACE! AND NOW MYLES RELENTLESSLY BEGINS TO JAM HIS FOREARM INTO THE FACE OF DARYL AND MYLES FOLLOWS IT UP WITH ANOTHER HIP TOSS FROM THE CORNER! Myles looks to be in full control now as he takes a second to regroup before approaching Daryl again.
Rich Russillo: Myles walks up to Daryl who is on both knees, and then repeatedly delivers kicks right to the chest of Daryl! Myles backs up and then goes for a kick to the head….BUT DARYL DUCKS IT AND POPS UP HOOKING THE ARMS GOING FOR A BACKSLIDE PIN! BUT MYLES ROLLS THROUGH BACK TO HIS FEET AND THIS TIME DELIVERS THE KICK TO THE HEAD – AND FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A JUMPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP INTO THE HEART OF DARYL! Myles then mounts on top of Daryl and begins delivering several stiff shots to the head! Myles is relentless trying to get it through the head of Daryl that he’s not on his level! Finally the referee steps in to create a little bit of separation, but not for long as Myles moves the referee out of the way and begins to stomp the absolute life out of Daryl while on the mat. Myles is really trying to show that Daryl is out of his comfort zone when stepping in the ring with him. Myles backs off but not for long as he’s quick to stay right on the attack and goes to pick up Daryl.
Persephone: Myles throws the arm of Daryl over his shoulder, but before we could find out what he had in mind, Daryl is fighting back with several elbow strikes to the side of the head… AND DARYL TURNS THE TABLES AND DELIVERS A REVERSE STO DRIVING MYLES FACE FIRST INTO THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE PAD! Daryl rolls away and pulls himself up in the opposite corner as Myles is face down on the second turnbuckle while on his knees… AND DARYL RUNS DRIVING BOTH OF HIS KNEES INTO THE BACK OF MYLES HEAD IN THE CORNER! Daryl pulls him away from the ropes and goes for the cover again!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
James Peters: And another kickout from the champion, and Daryl immediately picks him up and goes for a suplex….BUT MYLES DRIVES THE KNEE INTO HIS SKULL IN MID AIR!! Daryl drops Myles as he lands on his feet before Myles drives him into the corner then tries to roll him up, but Daryl held on to the turnbuckle. Daryl turns around and runs at Myles who is on a knee – AND MYLES CATCHES HIM WITH A FLAPJACK AS DARYL SMACKS THE TURNBUCKLE FACE FIRST! Myles caught him by literal surprise right there as Daryl turns around…AND MYLES IS WAITING FOR HIM AS HE TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A SNAPMARE AND THEN RUNS OFF THE ROPES – AND DRIVES THE KNEE INTO THE FACE OF DARYL BEFORE HOOKING THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
Rich Russillo: Kickout from Daryl and the EAW Champion goes back on the attack picking Daryl up and then delivering a uppercut to the jaw that drives Daryl into the corner! AND HERE COMES MYLES WHO RUNS AND DRIVES BOTH KNEES INTO THE CHEST OF DARYL BEFORE FOLLOWING IT UP WITH A MONKEY FLIP! BUT DARYL SOMEHOW LANDED ON HIS FEET!!
James Peters: Daryl is waiting for Myles as he stands in the corner, AND DARYL RUNS UP BEHIND MYLES AND GOES FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX! BUT THIS TIME IT’S MYLES WHO LANDS ON HIS FEET! MYLES RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND TAKES DARYL DOWN WITH A RUNNING KNEE! MYLES RIGHT AWAY TRANSITIONS INTO A CROSSFACE SUBMISSION! MYLES IS WRENCHING BACK THE UPPER BODY OF DARYL’S BACK AS DARYL IS TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF THIS! DARYL IS SCRAMBLING IN A PANIC TRYING TO FIND A WAY OUT!!
Persephone: Daryl is trying to fight out of it but Myles sure isn’t making it easy making him earn every inch as Daryl is crawling to the ropes getting closer and closer…AND HE REACHES OUT ALMOST FINGERTIPS AWAY – BUT MYLES LETS GO KNOWING IT WAS A LOST CAUSE KNOWING HE WAS GOING TO REACH THE ROPES AND DRAGS DARYL BACK TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, BUT DARYL KICKS MYLES RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH HIS FREE FOOT BEFORE PUSHING HIM INTO THE CORNER AS MYLES HEAD WHIPLASHES OFF THE TURNBUCKLE BUYING HIMSELF ENOUGH TIME TO STAND UP AND CHARGE AT MYLES ONCE MORE WITH A RUNNING KNEE OF HIS OWN –
James Peters: BUT MYLES SIDESTEPS, AND DARYL NEARLY CRASHES RIGHT INTO THE REFEREE!
Rich Russillo: That was a close call as Daryl stopped himself- BUT HERE COMES MYLES WHO DELIVERS A STEP UP KNEE THAT KNOCKS DARYL THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE FLOOR! Myles takes advantage of Daryl taking his attention off of him for just a split second. Myles then runs off the ropes….AND THEN DELIVERS A TOPE CON HILO TO DARYL ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING! Both competitors are down on the outside as the referee barely even realizes what just happened!
James Peters: Myles gets Daryl up and tries to get him back inside the ring – BUT DARYL DRIVES HIM BACK FIRST INTO THE RING APRON!! AND THEN DARYL LAUNCHES MYLES OVER THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE! Daryl buys himself a little bit of time as he removes the monitors from the announce table. Daryl walks around the announce table and begins to hammer away at Myles, AND MYLES FIGHTS BACK AS BOTH OF THEM ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE OTHER, BUT DARYL GETS THE UPPER HAND AS HE REPEATEDLY DRIVES HIS KNEE INTO MYLES’ FACE! DARYL NOW DELIVERS A ROUNDHOUSE KICK AS MYLES FALLS DOWN ON THE ANNOUNCE TABLE, AND NOW HE DELIVERS SEVERAL SHOTS TO THE FACE AS MYLES LIES ON THE TABLE BEFORE…UH OH!!
Persephone: DARYL HOPS ON THE BARRICADE BEHIND THE SPANISH ANNOUNCERS AND LOOKS DOWN AT MYLES LYING MOTIONLESS ON THE TABLE –
James Peters: WAIT WHAT IN THE WORLD?! MYLES POPS OFF THE TABLE LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL AND HOPS ON THE BARRICADE WITH DARYL – DARYL BARELY HAD ANY TIME TO EVEN REACT AND OH MY GOD!!!! A SPANISH FLY OFF THE BARRICADE THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE FROM MYLES!!!! :damn:
Rich Russillo: That happened almost within a blink of an eye, from Myles popping up and then delivering the Spanish fly that Daryl didn’t have enough time to retaliate, and it looks like Myles landed right on one of those TV monitors. I think even the referee was shocked, they just stopped counting after seeing that!
(Instant replay of Myles delivering the Spanish fly off the barricade through the Spanish announce table.)
James Peters: After several moments of both of them down, Myles rolls out of the table rubble and he pulls himself up near the ring apron holding his stomach from how he landed on that television monitor, as he goes and picks Daryl up and places him back inside the ring. Myles climbs up the apron and ascends up the top rope – AND MYLES LAUNCHES HIMSELF AND GOES FOR THE FROG SPLASH!! IT CONNECTS AS MYLES HOOKS THE LEGS!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
THHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: DARYL GETS THE SHOULDER UP!!! SOMEHOW DARYL MANAGED TO SURVIVE ALL OF THAT, AND THIS DID NOT SIT WELL WITH MYLES! Myles gets back to his feet, and now he sets himself up in the corner and begins to measure up Daryl as he begins to stir back to his feet! MYLES WALKS UP TO DARYL AND PICKS HIM UP FOR “WRATH OF PANDORA” –
James Peters: BUT DARYL IS STILL FIGHTING AND SLIPS OUT FROM BEHIND!! DARYL GRABS MYLES AND DRIVES HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST THROUGH THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE! Daryl gets some valuable time to recover after all that serious damage Myles just inflicted on him from going through a table followed by a frog splash as he stands back up and pulls Myles out from the corner…AND DARYL HOOKS BOTH ARMS GOING FOR A TIGER SUPLEX…AND IT CONNECTS DROPPING MYLES RIGHT ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Daryl doesn’t stop there though as he quickly stalks Myles as Myles is stirring back up to his feet – AND DARYL RUNS AND DELIVERS “MONKE FLIP!!!” THE FRONT FLIP DDT SPIKES MYLES HEAD INTO THE MAT AS DARYL SLOWLY FLIPS MYLES ON HIS BACK AND GOES FOR THE COVER!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: MYLES GETS HIS SHOULDER UP!! Myles is still in it as Daryl thinks of what to do next to win the title, and he stands up and goes to pick Myles up by the head, BUT MYLES OUT OF ADRENALINE DRIVES DARYL BACK INTO THE CORNER! MYLES IS DRIVING HIS SHOULDER INTO THE RIBS AND DELIVERING KICKS TO THE LOWER BODY! AND NOW MYLES LIFTS HIS FOOT TO DARYL’S THROAT AND IS TRYING TO CHOKE HIM OUT!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE – COME ON BACK IT UP!
James Peters: The referee forces Myles to break it after using up the entire five count. Myles takes a deep breath before going right back on the attack as he sits Daryl up on the top turnbuckle and joins him up there, WHAT IS HE PLANNING ON DOING?!… AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S GOING FOR THE SUPERPLEX!! BUT DARYL IS FIGHTING BACK WITH SHOTS TO THE RIB CAGE TRYING TO FREE HIMSELF FROM MYLES GRASP, AND NOW BOTH OF THEM ARE EXCHANGING BLOWS WITH ONE ANOTHER BATTLING FOR CONTROL ON THAT TOP ROPE!! Daryl looks to have gotten the upper hand as he is trying to set up for something, BUT MYLES DELIVERS A HEADBUTT THAT CATCHES DARYL OFF GUARD…AND OH NO –
Persephone: WHOAH!!!! WE GUESSED MYLES WAS GOING TO GO FOR A SUPERPLEX FROM THE TOP… BUT OH MY GOD!! MYLES INSTEAD DELIVERS A BRAINBUSTER FROM THE TOP DROPPING DARYL RIGHT ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD!!! MYLES DROPS DOWN ON TOP OF DARYL AND GOES FOR THE COVER!! YOU CAN PROLLY COUNT TO FIFTY!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
RIch Russillo: DARYL KICKS OUT AT TWO AND A HALF!! Daryl showing his guts do far with the stuff Myles has been rhrowing at him in the early goings of this match. Myles though isn’t bothered as I think he can smell blood thinking that the end may be near here as he is stalking Daryl from behind like a predator does to its prey….Myles turns Daryl around and gets him in position for “De Facto” –
James Peters: BUT DARYL REVERSES IT WITH AN ARM DRAG! Myles quickly gets back up to his feet and runs at Daryl…BUT DARYL WAS READY FOR HIM AS HE QUICKLY POPS UP AND DELIVERS A JUMPING REVERSE STO PLANTING MYLES FACT FIRST INTO THE MAT. AND THEN GRABS THE ARM AND BRIDGES… DARYL LOCKS IN HIS “CATCH 22” BRIDGING FUJIWARA ARMBAR!!! MYLES MIGHT BE IN SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE HERE, WHAT’S HE GONNA DO?!
Rich Russillo: DARYL JUST MIGHT BREAK HIS ARM, BUT MYLES ISN’T GIVING IN AS HE IS FIGHTING TO GET TO THE ROPES! MYLES IS SLOWLY INCHING HIS WAY OVER THERE….AND HE GETS HIS FOOT UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE AND DARYL IS FORCED TO BREAK THE HOLD! Daryl finally lets go and wonders of what to do next before trying to drag Myles away from the ropes, but he’s clutching onto the bottom rope for dear life! Daryl drops down and begins delivering punches to the head before picking Myles up and placing him between the legs – AND MYLES COUNTERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP SENDING DARYL OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE FLOOR! Myles falls to a knee in the ring clutching at his arm in pain from how much time he was in Daryl’s “Catch 22”!
Persephone: Myles shakes the pain out of the arm before he measures Daryl up as he stirs back up on the outside… AND MYLES RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND SLIDES UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE AND DELIVERS A TORNADO DDT ON THE OUTSIDE!!
James Peters: Great athleticism show there from our champion as both men are down on the outside again. Myles slowly gets Daryl back up and rolls him back inside the ring and climbs up the apron and ascends up the top rope once more….What could he possibly have in mind here? AND MYLES JUMPS OFF LOOKING TO GO FOR THE FALCON ARROW – BUT DARYL GOT THE KNEES UP!! AND THEN HE TRANSITIONS UNTO A PIN INTERTWINING THE LEGS!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: DID HE GET HIM?! The referee says no and they both gingerly race up to their feet and run into a double clothesline on one another!! Both are down again as they stand at the exact same time..A RIGHT HAND FROM MYLES! AND DARYL RETALIATES WITH A RIGHT HAND OF HIS OWN! MYLES! DARYL! BOTH OF THEM ARE JUST GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE OTHER, WHO’S GONNA GAIN THE UPPER HAND?!
James Peters: IT LOOKS LIKE DARYL AS HE DELIVERS SEVERAL RIGHT HOOKS TO THE FACE….AND THEN DARYL GOES FOR A STEP UP ENZIGURI TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD THAT KNOCKS MYLES INTO THE CORNER! Daryl checks his nose for blood before running at Myles in the corner, BUT MYLES SENDS HIM OVER THE TOP WITH A BACK BODY DROP, BUT DARYL HELD ON TO THE APRON! Myles is unaware of it as he turns around…AND DARYL IS WAITING FOR HIM AS HE DELIVERS A SLINGSHOT SPEAR THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE ALMOST SLICING MYLES IN HALF!! Daryl has all the momentum on his side now as he pumps the crowd up and looks to put Myles away….AND DARYL GOES FOR “A BEAUTIFUL LIE!!” IT CONNECTS!!! THE CROSS LEGGED FISHERMAN’S BUSTER CONNECTS!!
Persephone: An exhausted Daryl though has yet to make the cover. Daryl crawls over to Myles to make the cover – BUT MYLES ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AS DARYL WAS REACHING FOR HIM! Either great ring awareness from Myles or he got extremely lucky there but Daryl taking a few seconds too long to go for the cover allowed Myles to get enough separation to know where he was to roll out. You can just hear the disappointment in the crowd and the disappointment on the face of Daryl who just looked down at Myles on the outside floor.
James Peters: After several moments, Daryl rolls out of the ring and grabs Myles and rolls him back inside. Daryl follows in after him and approaches Myles while he is on his knees – AND MYLES PULLS HIM DOWN BY THE ARM AND OH NO –
Rich Russillo: MYLES LOCKS HIM IN “CHECKMAYT” OUT OF NOWHERE!!! MYLES LOCKS HIM IN HIS RINGS OF SATURN SUBMISSION AND DARYL LOOKS TO BE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE!! MYLES IS APPLYING THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF PRESSURE YOU CAN JUST YELLING AT DARYL TO TAP OUT!! DARYL IS TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF IT BUT HE IS NOT LOOKING TO HAVE ANY LUCK IN DOING SO, AND DARYL LOOKS TO BE FADING OUT!!!
James Peters: WAIT!!! DARYL FLIPS MYLES AND REVERSES IT INTO A PIN!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
James Peters: AND MYLES KICKS OUT!! Myles had no choice but to let go to save his championship and Myles beats him up to his feet and goes for a soccer kick to the face….BUT DARYL CATCHES THE LEG!! DARYL FLIPS HIM BACKWARDS,BUT MYLES LANDED ON HIS FEET….BUT DARYL WAS WAITING ON HIM WITH A STEP UP KNEE STRIKE ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE!! BUT MYLES CATCHES THE LEG AND DELIVERS A DRAGON SCREW! Both men just playing chess with the other with every move they make.
Rich Russillo: Daryl pulls himself up using the ropes with a bit of a limp, abd Myles is waiting for him who delivers several kicks to the lower body followed up by palm strikes to the chest…AND THEN MYLES GRABS THE ARM AND PULLS DARYL IN AND HITS A RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE! Daryl looks like he doesn’t have a clue on where he is right kow and Myles smells blood in the water –
Persephone: MYLES PICKS DARYL UP AND HAS HIM IN PRIME POSITION….AND MYLES DELIVERS “THE WRATH OF PANDORA”!!!!! THE CANADIAN RACK DDT PLANTS DARL AS MYLES HOOKS THE LEG! IS THIS GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO PUT DARYL AWAY?!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!
James Peters: NO IT’S NOT!! DARYL GETS THE SHOULDER UP AT THE LAST MILLISECOND…AND UH OH!!! MYLES IMMEDIATELY LOCKS IN “CHECKMAYT” FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THIS MATCH!!
Rich Russillo: THE RINGS OF SATURN SUBMISSION IS APPLIED AGAIN AND I DON’T SEE HOW DARYL IS ABLE TO GET OUT THIS TIME AS MYLES STRETCHES OUT BOTH OF THE ARMS! DARYL THOUGH IS STILL FIGHTING SOMEHOW AND HE’S TRYING TO DRAG HIMSELF OVER TO THE ROPES, BUT DOES HE HAVE ENOUGH TO GET THERE? AND……DARYL STRETCHES HIS LOWER BODY OUT AND GETS TO THE ROPES! Daryl again finds a way to survive but how much does he have left?
James Peters: Myles scoots himself into the corner and pulls himself up looking at Daryl in the opposite corner struggling to make it back to his feet…AND MYLES CHARGES WITH A FULL HEAD OF STEAM AND TRIES TO TAKE DARYL’S HEAD OFF WITH A HELLUVA KICK…BUT DARYL GOES UNDER AND CATCHES MYLES AND PICKS HIM UP IN A POWERBOMB POSITION…AND A SPINNING SITOUT POWERBOMB FROM DARYL!!! Daryl can feel the momentum shifting knowing this might be his best chance as he hobbles back to his feet….DARYL HITS THE “MONKE FLIP” FRONT FLIP DDT AGAIN!! DARYL CRAWLS OVER AND MAKES THE COVER!! ARE WE ABOUT TO CROWN OURSELVES A NEW EAW CHAMPION?!?!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!
Persephone: THE REFEREE SEES MYLES GET HIS FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE!!
Rich Russillo: Daryl now shows some signs of frustration now as he thought he had the championship won there. Daryl slowly stands back up and he looks to put the exclamation point on this one as he towers above Myles who slowly stirs back up to a vertical base and then turns Myles around…AND HE TRIES TO GO FOR “A BEAUTIFUL LIE” ONCE MORE –
James Peters: BUT MYLES SPINS OUT OF IT AND DELIVERS A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD AS BOTH OF THEM FALL DOWN TO THE MAT! Man what a war this has been between two of the best Voltage has to offer throwing everything they have at one another for the right to call themselves the EAW Champion!
Rich Russillo: Just a matter of who wants it more at this point as now both men crawl away from one another and pull themselves up on opposite sides of the ring before they turn around to face one another, and Daryl takes the first shot…but Myles blocks it and delivers shots of his own backing Daryl up against the ropes. An exhausted Myles irish whips him off the ropes, but Daryl slides under the legs, AND THEN DARYL HOOKS THE ARMS GOING FOR A TIGER SUPLEX, BUT MYLES REVERSES IT FACING DARYL’S BACKSIDE AND THEN DELIVERS A SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX AS DARYL HITS HIS HEAD HARD RIGHT OFF THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE! Daryl is again in a vulnerable spot here seated in the corner…AND MYLES RUNS AND DELIVERS A RUNNING DROPKICK TO THE FACE OF THE SEATED DARYL! Myles is signaling that the end is near!
Persephone: I hope so….I MEAN, LET THEM FIGHT FOREVER!! 😁
James Peters: Anywho, MYLES PICKS UP DARYL FROM THE CORNER – OH MY GOD!!! DARYL WITH THE INSIDE CRADLE OUT OF NOWHERE!! HE’S GOT HIM!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: MYLES FLIPS IT INTO A PIN OF HIS OWN!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!
James Peters: AND OH MY GOD DARYL KICKS OUT!!! BOTH STANDS UP AND MYLES GOES FOR A RUNNING BIG BOOT, BUT DARYL DUCKS IT AND TAKES MYLES DOWN WITH A REVERSE DDT!! Daryl now crawls over to the corner and rolls under the bottom rope and uh oh, he begins to ascend up the top rope, at this point in the match you’re pretty much risking it all. :lupe:
Rich Russillo: Daryl stands up high on the top turnbuckle looking down on Myles….AND OH MY GOD!! DARYL LEAPS OFF AND HAS GOING FOR A SHOOTING STAR PRESS!!!
Persephone: BUT NOBODY HOME!!! MYLES MOVED OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND! Daryl took a huge risk and it just might end up costing him his chance at becoming EAW Champion as Myles….MYLES DELIVERS THE “WRATH OF PANDORA FOR A SECOND TIME IN THIS MATCH!!! THE HOOK OF THE LEG FROM MYLES TO RETAIN!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!
James Peters: AND DARYL KICKED OUT AGAIN, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! And now you can see the frustration on Myles face that he hasn’t been able to put Daryl’s down for the count yet. Myles now picks up what is almost the dead weight of Daryl and he looks like he’s ready to put this one away…BUT DARYL LOOKS LIKE HE’S STILL GOT SOME FIGHT IN HIM AS HE THROWS SHOTS AT THE RIBS OF MYLES – AND OH MY!! DARYL DRIVES AND TACKLES MYLES THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE AS BOTH OF THEM GO CRASHING TO THE OUTSIDE FLOOR! Once again we’re at a standstill between these two as both of them can barely move, both of them down on the outside and again it’s a race to see who gets to their feet first as the referee begins his count…
ONE! TWO!
Rich Russillo: Daryl pulls himself up by the ring skirt..AND RAMS MYLES RIGHT INTO THE STEEL STEPS! DARYL BACKSTEPS A FEW FEET AND CHARGES, BUT MYLES SIDESTEPS AND SENDS DARYL INTO THE STEPS THIS TIME..AND OH NO!!! MYLES TAKES DOWN DARYL WITH A RUNNING KNEE TO THE FACE AS BOTH ARE DOWN AGAIN!
THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Persephone: Myles crawls to the other end of the ring using the apron to help himself stand as Daryl is trying to muster up the strength to stand up on the other end.
SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT!
James Peters: Neither one of them are back in yet and man what a shame if this match were to end in a countout.
NINE!
TEN!!!!
Rich Russillo: BOTH MEN SLIDE INTO THE RING AT THE SAME EXACT TIME, BARELY MAKING IT BEFORE TEN!!
James Peters: What a close call! I’m sure neither man wanted it to end that way either as they both stand and meet eye to eye once again, who wants it more?! MYLES GOES FOR THE FIRST PUNCH….
Persephone: OH!! DARYL BLOCKED IT AND THEN DROPPED MYLES DOWN TO THE MAT AND HE LOCKS IN HIS “FOR THE KINK” SUBMISSION!!! MYLES HAS ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE TO GO AND HE’S IN SERIOUS TROUBLE! MYLES IS TRYING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO FIGHT OUT BUT DARYL IS USING WHATEVER STRENGTH HE HAS LEFT AND PUTTING IT INTO THIS! ARE WE ABOUT TO CROWN OURSELVES A NEW CHAMPION?!
James Peters: NOT IF MYLES IS STILL CONSCIOUS BECAUSE LOOK! MYLES OUT OF PURE ADRENALINE IS DRAGGING HIMSELF CLOSER TO THE ROPES BUT HOW MUCH DOES HE HAVE LEFT…..CAN HE GET THERE…YES HE DOES AND THIS TITLE MATCH CONTINUES ON! What determination and grit there from the champion. Daryl is forced to let go and the frustration is really starting to kick in. Daryl knows that he has to atat on the attack though as he drags Myles back to the center of the ring and picks him up going for “A Beautiful Lie” again – BUT MYLES IS STILL ALIVE AS HE REVERSES OUT OF IT AND TRANSITIONS INTO A SUNSET FLIP PIN!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: KICKOUT AGAIN FROM DARYL! DARYL IS BACK UP AND RUNS AT MYLES IN THE CORNER, BUT MYLES GETS HIS FEET UP STOPPING HIM DEAD IN HIS TRACKS!! Myles hops up on the second day turnbuckle and leaps going from another sunset flip, BUT DARYL ROLLS THROUGH BACK TO HIS FEET AND GOES TO KICK MYLES IN THE SKULL BUT MYLES DUCKS IT AND POPS UP HOOKING BOTH ARMS AND DELIVERS A TIGER SUPLEX DROPPING DARYL RIGHT ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD!! You have to wonder now just how much either man has left as Myles is practically begging for Daryl to stand back up looking to finally put this match away for good!
James Peters: Kick to the midsection from Myles.. AND MYLES IS SETTING UP FOR “DE FACTO” – BUT ONCE AGAIN DARYL IS FIGHTING BACK WITH ALL HE HAS LEFT…AND OH! A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT FROM DARYL, AND THEN A SECOND ONE THAT DRIVES MYLES BACK INTO THE CORNER! Daryl takes a second to recover before running at Myles in the corner and he delivers a high knee to the face before following it up with a running bulldog…BUT MYLES HOLDS HIM UP AND TOSSES CHEST FIRST ON THE TOP ROPE! Daryl is a sitting duck with his upper body hanging over the rope as Myles hops on the second turnbuckle…AND LEAPS OFF AND DROPS BOTH KNEES ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK! AND UH OH –
Rich Russillo: Myles picks up Daryl and ties his arms in the ropes. We all know what this is… MYLES RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND DRIVES THE KNEE INTO THE FACE OF THE HELPLESS DARYL KINKADE!! AND THEN HE DOES IT AGAIN, AND THEN A THIRD TIME!! Daryl is motionless as Myles drags him away from the ropes and goes for the cover, this has got to be it!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!
Persephone: DARYL GETS THE SHOULDER UP ONCE MORE! It’s clear that Myles has had enough and he’s gonna put this match away for good as he picks Daryl up off the mat….ENZIGURI KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD FROM DARYL THAT STUNS MYLES WHO DROPS DOWN TO BOTH KNEES! DARYL SHAKES THE COBWEBS OUT AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND DELIVERS A SHINING WIZARD TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!! Daryl is pumped up and could be moments away from capturing his very first World Championship!!
James Peters: Myles looks like he again doesn’t have a clue where he is after that strike to his head – AND DARYL RUNS OFF THE ROPES AGAIN AND DELIVERS ANOTHER SHINING WIZARD! HE STILL ISN’T GOING FOR THE COVER…AND OH NO, HE RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND DELIVERS THE SHINING WIZARD FOR A THIRD TIME TO THE BACK OF THE SKULL! HE FLIPS MYLES ON HIS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG AGAIN!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: AND MYLES KICKS OUT!!! Both of these guys are just throwing their absolute best at each other and it still doesn’t seem like enough. Daryl again shows done frustration and you can understand why because Daryl’s clearly in pain. What else does he have to do in order to take Myles down?
James Peters: Daryl rolls away from Myles and uses the ropes to help pull himself back to a vertical base. Mykes is slowly beginning to stir while holding his head that’s in a lot of pain….AND DARYL DROPS DOWN AND TRIES TO LOCK IN HIS “”FOR THE KINK” SUBMISSION FOR THE SECOND TIME –
Rich Russillo: BUT MYLES IS FIGHTING IT WITH EVERY WILL IN HIS BEING…AND OH MY GOD, MYLES DELIVERS A HEADBUTT TO THE HEAD OUT OF DESPERATION TO SAVE HIMSELF!! Not sure how wise that was of Myles considering the amount of damage his head just took taking those three shining wizards to the head. He looks fine to me as he stands up in the corner and shakes his head a bit before refocusing on Daryl who is on one knee….AND MYLES RUNS FULL SPEED AND SWINGS AT THE HEAD, BUT DARYL DUCKS IT AND RAMS MYLES CHEST FIRST INTO THE CORNER BEFORE ROLLING HIM UP FROM BEHIND!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!
Persephone: MYLES KICKS OUT AND PUSHES DARYL FACE FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE IN THE PROCESS!! Myles is waiting for him as he turns around….AND HE GOES FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE HEAD!! BUT DARYL DUCKS IT AND GOES FOR A KICK TO THE HEAD OF HIS OWN…AND THEN MYLES DUCKS THAT BEFORE BOTH DELIVERING AN ELBOW STRIKE TO THE FACE SIMULTANEOUSLY…AND THEN BOTH OF THEM DELIVER A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE HEAD AT THE SAME TIME!! Both men are down again, wow!
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! :clap: :clap:
James Peters: We couldn’t agree any more as both of these warriors are laying it all on the line for the right to be called champion. Myles and Daryl both begin to stir and now are getting to their feet at the exact same time…EUROPEAN UPPERCUT FROM DARYL!! A STIFF ELBOW SHOT FROM MYLES! BOTH GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE OTHER UNTIL….DARYL DELIVERS A JUMPING ENZIGURI KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD THAT DRIVES MYLES BACKWARDS INTO THE CORNER…..RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT IN THE CORNER FROM DARYL! HE RUNS TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER AND DELIVERS IT AGAIN! DARYL LOOKS TO BE IN COMPLETE CONTROL HERE AS HE’S CALLING HIS SHOT –
Rich Russillo: “HAIL TO THE VICTORRRR”!!!
Persephone: DARYL DELIVERS HIS PUMP HANDLE PILEDRIVER AND HERE’S THE HOOK OF THE LEG!!! THIS HAS GOTTA BE IT!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!
James Peters: WHAT?!! MYLES KICKED OUT AND HIS REIGN IS STILL ALIVE!! Daryl is in shock that Myles is still in it as are all of us. Now the question is what does Daryl do from here? Daryl has hit Myles with almost everything in his arsenal and Myles is still fighting showing just how tough it is to take the title off him.
Rich Russillo: I think we all know the answer to that question of what does he have to do in order to finally put Myles away as does Daryl whose face has gone from shock to pure determination as he pucks Myles up off the mat and gets him in position!! DARYL ONCE AGAIN TRIES TO GO FOR “A BEAUTIFUL LIE”…WILL IT CONNECT THIS TIME?!
James Peters: NO IT WON’T AS BEFORE HE COULD TRY, MYLES TOOK HIM DOWN WITH A DROP TOE HOLD…AND THEN MYLES MOUNTS OVER THE BACK OF DARYL AND BEGINS DRIVING HIS ELBOW INTO THE BACK OF DARYL’S HEAD AS HARD AS HE POSSIBLY CAN!! Myles relentless either those strikes as he buys himself a little but of time to recover as he stands back up on his feet and once again feeling that victory is within reach as he picks Daryl up from the front by his head…BUT DARYL SHOVES MYLES BACK BEFORE MYLES WALKS BACK AT HIM AND DARYL HITS A HIP TOSS AND NECKBREAKER COMBO!! DARYL JUST MIGHT HAVE MYLES RIGHT WHERE HE WANTS HIM WE MIGHT JUST SEE A BRAND NEW WORLD CHAMPION HERE TONIGHT AT GRAND RAMPAGE!!
Rich Russillo: Myles is stirring on both knees likely not having an idea of where is at the moment once again and he is in deep trouble as Daryl runs off of the ropes….BUT OH MY GOD!!! MYLES MAYBE PERHAPS WAS PLAYING POSSUM AS HE JUST CAUGHT DARYL AND POPS HIM UP HITTING “VICTORIA!!!” THE POP UP KNEE STRIKE…..AND MYLES QUICKLY TRIES TO FOLLOW IT UP AND GETS HIM IN PERFECT POSITION –
Persephone: “DE FACTO!!!!” THE SPINNING PUMPHANDLE SAMOAN DROP CONNECTS AS MYLES HOOKS THE LEG WILL THIS FINALLY BE ENOUGH TO PUT DARYL AWAY?!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi plays to a thunderous ovation from fans as Myles slowly rolls off the motionless body of Daryl Kinkade, Myles struggles to stand in pain from the absolute battle he just went through. The referee raises his hand as Myles holds the EAW Championship high.)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… AND STILLLLLL THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION… MYYYYLLLEEESSSSS!!!
James Peters: What an absolute war our main event was here tonight, both of them threw everything they had at one another, but it was Myles who was able to overcome it enough tonight to come out as the victor.
Rich Russillo: You can’t take anything away at all from Daryl, he proved without a shadow of a doubt tonight that he’s nobody’s stepping stone and came so close so many times to winning the title.
James Peters: Indeed he did, but tonight belongs to Myles. He’s shown what he’s capable of on more than one occasion, and tonight he proved that it won’t be easy taking that title from him. Congratulations to him on a well earned victory!
(Myles looks down at Daryl Kinkade, before turning back and continuing to hold his championship up high. From there, Grand Rampage fades away from ringside.)
