Fight Grid
(EAW Intro Plays)
(As the stand-off continues from the pre-show, between the five warring Houses ready to take battle for the prestigious crowns of King and Empress of Elite. The Knights of the Blue Cross and Shield led by Adam Lucas, the lone Black Knight of Drake King from the House of Redeemer. The Jersey Wearing Soldiers and the leader Bronson Daniels.)
(All three of them look at one another when it pans to The House of Bees led by Serenity with her captains, Sierra Bradford, and Mei Sasaki, with right across from them, House of Potara in orange and green with Holly Arrow accompanied by Harper Lee. All five warring factions ready for battle, when suddenly….)
???: STOP! YOU WILL CEASE AND DESIST RIGHT NOW!
(They all stop, slowly turning as The King walks in with his royal guards, everyone stands at attention as the squire opens the scroll so that the king may read the royal decree.)
The King: Here ye…. Hear ye…. My loyal subjects. This weekend is a proclamation of royalty! It is that time again for the EAW to crown a new King and Empress of Elite!
(All five warring Houses stand their ground as the King continues to peak.)
The King: This is about so much more though, a time when Championships will be on the line, feuds will continue and end, the balance of power lies on the balance and two will wear crowns as they head into Pain for Pride. With it, like a joust, a duel, comes a price. When forces collide with the right to grab the throne. BUT that is not all! Gold will be on the line when The Soul Food Sunday defends their Tag Team gold against the teams of The Off-Brand Amphetamines and Nick Hart/Shane Gates! That is not all, for the National Elite Champion and its longest reigning champion that will defend his title against the lovely and vivacious vixen, Veena Adams.
(The King takes a moment, glaring right into the eyes of Adam Lucas and his Knights of the Blue Cross.)
The King: Revenge is a dish best served cold, isn’t it Sir Lucas?
Adam Lucas: Yes, my Lord.
The King: Which is why your beautiful and intelligent wife, Dr. Bethany Blue must uphold the honor of her family and father whilst trying to wrestle the Universal Women’s Championship away from the tyranny of Sienna Jade. That though us not all for in my kingdom, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is the only way to solve issues, like the one Kassidy Heart and Ms. Extreme have!
(The five warring factions though are ready to attack one another, to see who is left standing to grab the crown. The King though is not done. He then turns and looks right at the House of Bees.)
The King: Serenity is not the only one looking to be their grace as Empress of Elite. For Sierra Bradford and Mei Sasaki will face the ultimate test of Milli Banks and the legendary Cameron Ella Ava. Or maybe we should focus on the Number One Contendership to the Unified Tag Team Championships when countrymen Ryan Joseph Wilson and Xander Payne battle the Ice Aces. I also enjoy a good fight for supremacy between three of the finest warriors in the kingdom. It will be my pleasure to see the duel between Sheridan Muller, Madison Kaline, and Harper Lee.
(The warring factions though are starting to get antsy. The Black Night, Drake King from the House Redeemer stands his ground. The Men of the Jersey and Bronson Daniels ready their charge. The Knights of the Blue Cross with Adam Lucas steadfast.)
The King: I know, the time is approaching and nothing more certain then two legendary fighters facing for the right to call themselves the best in Theron Nikolas and Yhwach O’Hara. Or the two young lions who will be fixtures battling for the Specialist Championship between Sir Joso and Si Amir Yusuf! That leaves the THREE Brand World Championships. Limmy Monaghan defends against his former brethren in Maxwell! Jake Smith gives the return match to the ten time World Champion, Impact and can love survive in what seemed to be an unbreakable bond as Minerva fends off the challenges of Myles and TLA?
(The King then looks at the five warring factions and smiles.)
The King: Finally, the fight for the crown! Serenity Valdez and Holly Arrow…. Who will be the next Empress of Elite!? Or Adam Lucas, Bronson Daniels and Drake King, who will wear the crown and become KING! But with it, comes a price and that is very steep indeed. Because at the King of Elite…. TWO will rise and three will fall. Who will I coronate as the next KING? And in unison….. scream in pride…..
(Bit before he could finish the war of attrition had begun and the five warring factions had come to a head. The King looks on with a smile on his face and screams…..)
The King: ALL HAIL!
(As the scene fades and the image appears.)
Narrator: AND NOW… EAW WITH DISNEY AND QUANTUMANIA PRESENT…. THE 2023 KING OF ELITE!
(The camera pans in the Rogers Arena as the fireworks go off to the sold out crowd screaming and yelling, standing up for their favorite wrestlers and the excitement of EAW live in Vancouver, British Columbia. The shot now pans over to James Peters, Rich Russillo, and Persephone the Voltage Brand commentary team.)
James Peters: WELCOME ALL TO KING OF ELITE 2023! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE TWO NIGHT EVENT WE HAVE FOR YOU TONIGHT AND WITH SO MUCH ALREADY HAPPENING AFTER THE PRE SHOW WHERE WE SAW CROWN A BRAND NEW CHAMPION, THE NEW BREED TITLE TO CAROLINE IN WHAT MANY ARE CALLING A HUGE UPSET, ALONG WITH HIKARI KANNO DEFENDING HER CHAMPIONSHIP AS WELL, A HUGE WIN AND OPPORTUNITY FOR DARYL KINKADE IN THE SCAFFOLD MATCH AND OF COURSE ARIA DEFENDED HER TITLE SUCCESSFULLY OVER LEXI!
Rich Russillo: THAT IS RIGHT, JAMES AND IT IS DEAFENING IN HERE RIGHT NOW! BUT YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE A STACKED CARD FOR THE FANS AND TALK ABOUT FOUR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS ON THE LINE! SOME BLOOD FEUDS AND OF COURSE THE CROWNING OF A NEW KING AND EMPRESS OF ELITE!
Persephone: AND THE BEST PART IS!? WE ARE GOING TO START THE DRAMA RIGHT AWAY AND KICK IT OFF WITH THE FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH HERE TONIGHT AND I AM ALREADY EXCITED, THAT I HAVE MY DISNEY SMILE!
James Peters: WHAT A MATCH TO KICK OFF THE KING OF ELITE AND LET’S GO TO BELLA BRAXTON BECAUSE THIS ONE IS GOING TO BE FIRE!
(The graphic pops up for the first match at the King of Elite 2023.)
(The fans immediately shoot to their feet as the graphic for the EAW World Championship match flashes across the tron.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Bella Braxton: AND IT’S FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
(‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi is the first theme to hit and the fans greet Myles with cheers.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST… HE IS THE CHALLENGER! FROM MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA… WEIGHING IN AT 215 POUNDS… HE IS ‘THE WARLORD’ MYLES!!!!
(The look on Myles’ face is a determined one. Despite the harsh words he exchanged with his fiancee this week, he appears ready to set it all aside and try to capture his second EAW World Championship.)
James Peters: It’s been an interesting few weeks on Voltage as it pertains to the EAW Championship situation. After Myles was screwed out of an opportunity to advance in the King of Elite tournament, Captain Charisma compensated him with a championship match here at King of Elite.
Rich Russillo: The problem with that is the fact Myles’ fiancee, Minerva, holds the very championship our three competitors are going to be competing for tonight. Things have been heated between the couple this week to say the least.
Persephone: I was kind of hoping they would pull a Jake and Limmy and break up on the promo page.
Rich Russillo: Or a Drake and Sierra Bradford :umad:
(Myles is in the ring now and he takes his corner. As his music fades out, ‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac starts to play. The ovation for TLA is off the charts and only gets louder as the fan favorite walks onto the stage.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING NEXT… HE IS ALSO THE CHALLENGER! RESIDING IN THE POON PALACE IN MIAMI, FLORIDA… WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS… HE IS ‘LA PANTERA SEXUAL’ TLA!!!!
James Peters: A common theme for tonight’s challengers, TLA also found himself screwed out of a chance to advance in the King of Elite tournament during his match with Drake King. When Captain Charisma didn’t step up to the plate to rectify TLA’s situation like he did for Myles, Minerva came to the rescue and offered to defend her title against the Hall of Famer.
Rich Russillo: That decision added to an already tense situation between Myles and Minerva, and TLA looks to take advantage of that.
(Once TLA is in the ring, he winks at Myles who just scowls. This draws a laugh from TLA, who indeed is having fun making a mockery out of the Myles/Minerva romance. Once TLA is settled in the ring and his music is cut, ‘Blood, Milk, & Sky’ by White Zombie hits.)
Bella Braxton: AND THEIR OPPONENT!!! FROM COYOTE FLATTS, TEXAS!!! WEIGHING IN AT 122 POUNDS… SHE IS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION… ‘THE BLACK ROSE’ MINERVA!!!
(The reaction Minerva gets is loud. As she’s matured as a competitor and come into her own, the fans have embraced her. She steps on the stage and holds up the championship, smirking despite the personal situation that has occurred because of this match.)
James Peters: It goes without saying that Minerva has more than cemented herself as one of the best world champions of all time. She has successfully and decisively defended the EAW World Championship against everyone who has stepped up to the plate and tonight she looks to continue her reign.
Persephone: But we have to mention the elephant in the room! One of the people standing in Minerva’s is her future husband, Myles! I love a good domestic dispute especially when it erupts in violence :wow:!!!!
Rich Russillo: It will be interesting to see how things play out tonight.
(Minerva gets into the ring and poses with the championship. She does not make eye contact with Myles but she flashes a smile at TLA, who acknowledges her with a nod. After a moment, she passes the belt to the referee, who hands it off, and then calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: There’s the bell, and the EAW World Title Match is underway!!!
James Peters: Two former champions and the reigning champion herself. This is a match that promises to be a good one here tonight.
Persephone: With this much star power out there, how can this be bad? I don’t think that’s even a possibility. We’ve seen the lengths that all three of these talents have been to in order to win world championship gold, and tonight will be no different.
Rich Russillo: All three of these Elitists start off staring at one another. Ready to go, but cautious about making the wrong move early on.
James Peters: But it looks like TLA is ready to go!! He kicks Minerva right in the midsection, then strikes Myles right across the face with a right hook!!!
Persephone: Minerva hunches over, as Myles stumbles off to the side. TLA continues towards Myles and continues firing away with right hooks until Myles gets backed up into the corner!!
Rich Russillo: And from here, TLA goes to work!! Numerous body shots on Myles in the corner!! He’s Constantly breaking down his opponent until Minerva grabs him, and spins him around!!!
James Peters: CLOTHESLINE BY MINERVA!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT TLA DUCKS THE ARM, AS MINERVA CLOTHESLINES MYLES IN THE CORNER!!!
James Peters: She put a lot of force behind that one, and actually it’s Myles who falls down into a seated position against the bottom turnbuckles.
Rich Russillo: Minerva sees the damage she has done to Myles, and turns around!!
Persephone: SWAG SHOT!!! TLA JUST PIMP SLAPPED MINERVA RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE!!!
Rich Russillo: That one definitely had to sting, as Minerva’s face becomes a vibrant red with all of the blood rushing to the targeted area!! TLA now grabs her by the wrist and whips her towards the corner at the opposite end!!!
James Peters: No! It’s Minerva with the counter, as she plants her feet and whips TLA to the far corner instead!!!
Persephone: TLA is headed for the corner, as Minerva runs behind and tries to meet him there with a strike, but TLA catches himself in the corner, and blasts Minerva right in the face with a back elbow right as she was charging towards him!!!
Rich Russillo: She may have broken her nose right there after that back elbow, and now TLA scales his way up to the top rope while Minerva is clutching at her face!!
James Peters: Oh no!! Minerva is definitely not where she wants to be standing right now, as TLA looks out to the crowd while he’s up on the top rope!! DIVING MOONSAULT BY TLA ONTO MINERVA STANDING RIGHT BEHIND HIM!!!!
Persephone: NO MINERVA CATCHES HIM IN MID-AIR THEN SLAMS HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A THUNDEROUS POWERSLAM!!!!
Rich Russillo: When you think about World Champions who can adjust on the fly and turn bad situations into their own offense, Minerva has to be one of the first people that comes to mind! You’re never safe when facing her, because she always finds a way to end up on top!!
James Peters: Yeah, TLA really took quite a toll after being slammed down onto the mat, and now Minerva rises back up to her feet. She reaches down to grab TLA-
Rich Russillo: BUT FROM BEHIND!!! IT’S MYLES!!! MYLES WITH THE ROLL UP ON MINERVA, AS HER SHOULDERS ARE BEING PINNED DOWN TO THE MAT!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRR-
James Peters: BUT MINERVA KICKS OUT OF THE PINNING COMBINATION!!!
Rich Russillo: Myles nearly steals this one there, but the Champion wasn’t letting that one happen, as now both Myles and Minerva scramble back up to their feet!!
James Peters: These two definitely went at it with one another back on Voltage, but now it looks like they are staring right into each other’s eyes. They begin to walk towards one another with emotions high.
Persephone: Come on. Someone beat someone up!!
Rich Russillo: And now Minerva and Myles both nod at one another and…
James Peters: ELBOW STRIKE ACROSS THE FACE BY MINERVA!! THAT’S FOLLOWED UP BY A KNEE STRIKE TO THE GUT BY MYLES!!!
Rich Russillo: AND NOW IT’S A LARIAT BY MYLES!!!
Persephone: NO!!! MINERVA DUCKS UNDERNEATH THE ARM!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT EVEN AFTER MISSING AND RUNNING RIGHT PAST HER, IT’S MYLES WITH A SPINNING BACK KICK TO THE GUT OF MINERVA!!!
James Peters: NO!!! MINERVA CATCHES THE ANKLE OF MYLES!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT MYLES USES THAT TO GO FOR AN ENZIGURI WITH HIS FREE LEG!!!
Persephone: But Minerva ducks that kick right there as well, as Myles lands face down on the mat with only his forearms to break his fall!!
Rich Russillo: Myles slowly works his way up, but behind him it’s Minerva who wraps her arms around his body, lifts, AND IT’S MINERVA WITH THE RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX THAT NEARLY SENDS MYLES ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE RING!!! HE HITS THE MAT HARD!!!!
James Peters: Minerva has finally taken control of this match, as both TLA and Myles are down. She makes her way over to TLA who is off by the side ropes and using them to work back up to his feet. Minerva grabs TLA and blasts him hard in the stomach with a knee strike, then clubs him hard in the back with a hammer fist!!!
Rich Russillo: That hammer fist was pretty stiff and you can just hear the amount of force put into it! Minerva isn’t playing around right now, as she now begins delivering rights and lefts towards TLA’s body!!
James Peters: TLA tries to shield himself from all of these strikes, but eventually he stands up, and the strikes start becoming directed towards his head and face!!! Minerva has TLA pressed up against the corner and continues unloading these closed fist punches!!!
Persephone: RIGHT!! LEFT!! RIGHT! LEFT!!! Minerva with continuous strikes down onto TLA in the corner right now, and eventually she leaves La Pantera Sexual groggy against the turnbuckles!!
Rich Russillo: She now redirects her attention back towards Myles, and grabs him from off of the ground. She gets a hold of the back of his head and his tights, then… SHE RUSHES HIM RIGHT TOWARDS TLA IN THE CORNER!!!! MINERVA LAUNCHES HIM RIGHT AT TLA!!!!
James Peters: Myles’ body dives shoulder first into TLA’s body in the corner, as we can see the air get knocked right out of TLA!! Myles came at TLA with so much force, and now TLA is really feeling it!!
Persephone: Not just that, but Myles takes quite the beating by that one too, as his shoulder must be in so much pain by diving into someone with that much force and momentum behind it.
Rich Russillo: That definitely was a 2 for 1 situation for Minerva, and she executed that perfectly!!
James Peters: Killing two birds with one stone! That’s how a champion like Minerva does it!
Rich Russillo: Myles busted into TLA’s midsection, and now Minerva pulls him away.
Persephone: TLA clutches at his stomach, as Minerva now has a hold of Myles. She grabs him by the wrist now, and sends him towards the far ropes!! He rebounds back!!! SPINEBUSTER BY MINERVA!!!!!
James Peters: The entire ring erupted after that spinebuster, as Myles’ entire back is a vibrant red. Minerva rises back up to her feet.
Rich Russillo: ZIG ZAG!!! TLA FROM BEHIND MINERVA!!! WOW WHAT A MOVE AS HE SNAPS THE WORLD CHAMPIONS HEAD AND NECK STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE CANVAS OF THE RING!!!
James Peters: Now don’t let that sudden burst by TLA fool you. He’s still slow to get up and even favors his midsection. He did what he just did because of the situation he was in. He couldn’t allow Minerva to continue building her momentum, and needed to make offense for himself.
Rich Russillo: Yeah, that was more of a desperation move on TLA’s part, but he got the job done in that situation, and now the champion is down.
Persephone: TLA slowly works his way up to a seated position against the side ropes, as he clutches at his midsection in pain. He looks over at Minerva and Myles and sees that both Elitists are down for the moment. He reaches up, grabs the ropes, and uses them to pull himself up to his feet. He walks past Minerva, and begins making his way towards Myles who is up onto his hands and knees.
Rich Russillo: KICK TO THE MIDSECTION BY TLA!!! ANOTHER ONE, AS THE LACES OF HIS BOOT SMACK UP AGAINST THE BODY OF MYLES!!!! Myles drops down to the canvas of the ring in an instant, but TLA grabs him by the head, and begins pulling him up to his feet!!
James Peters: But look at Myles!! Once he’s up to his knees, he begins firing away at TLA’s body with rights and lefts!! TLA squeezes his core tight, and takes these punches, as Myles eventually gets up to his feet!!!
Rich Russillo: SWAG SHOT BY TLA ONTO MYLES NOW!!!
Persephone: NO!!! Myles ducks the arm, hooks it, then takes TLA right down to the canvas of the ring with a backslide pin!! TLA’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWW-
Rich Russillo: BUT TLA ROLES THROUGH AND GETS TO HIS FEET!! Myles gets to his hands and knees, then slowly works up!
James Peters: BUT HALFWAY THERE, IT’S TLA WITH AN EXPLOSIVE DROPKICK THAT SENDS MYLES RIGHT TOWARDS THE FAR ROPES!!!!
Persephone: AND LOOK!!! MYLES HAS HIS HEAD AND ARMS HANGING OVER THE MIDDLE ROPES!!! TLA knows exactly what he wants to do here!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT LOOK!! FROM BEHIND!!! IT’S MINERVA WITH A RUNNING LARIAT!!!!
James Peters: BUT TLA DUCKS UNDERNEATH THE ARM, AS MINERVA GOES RIGHT PAST HIM!!!
Persephone: DROPKICK TO THE BACK BY TLA, AS HE SENDS MINERVA RIGHT INTO THE SIDE ROPES NEXT TO MYLES!!! BOTH MYLES AND MINERVA HAND THEIR HEAD AND ARMS OVER THE MIDDLE ROPE!!!! THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR EITHER OF THEM, BECAUSE SOON THEY WILL EXPERIENCE THE SAME FATE!!!!
Rich Russillo: You’ve got that right, Persephone!!! TLA RUNS IN THEIR DIRECTION!!!! DOUBLE 305!!!!! TIGER FEINT KICK ON BOTH MYLES AND MINERVA BY TLA!!!!!!
James Peters: IT CONNECTS ON MINERVA!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT MYLES DUCKS HIS HEAD, DROPS DOWN TO THE MAT, AND SLIDES OUT OF THE RING TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!!
James Peters: That kick launches Minerva near the center of the ring, as she lays flat on her back. TLA stands on the ring apron, and grabs the top rope, as he’s ready to launch himself with a springboard splash onto the champion!!!
Rich Russillo: He pulls back onto the top rope, and…
James Peters: WAIT!!! MYLES JUST PULLED TLA’S LEGS OFF OF THE RING APRON, AND TLA’S FACE DROPS DOWN AND COLLIDES WITH THE EDGE OF THE RING!!!!
Rich Russillo: TLA’s face has to be hurting! He can barely stand up here on the outside, as that landing definitely rocked him!!
James Peters: BICYCLE KICK TO THE FACE BY MYLES!!! HE JUST SENT TLA STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE THINLY PADDED RINGSIDE FLOOR!!!
Persephone: TLA has no idea what just happened. One second he had Myles and Minerva on the ropes, then the next he’s nearly out cold here at ringside!!!
Rich Russillo: That’s the beauty about a match like this one. You’re never truly safe in any situation, because at any moment one of your two opponents can come out and change the entire course of the match.
James Peters: And Myles isn’t wasting any time staying on the attack. He grabs TLA from off of the ground, then whips him hard towards the thinly padded barricade that surrounds the ringside area!!
Persephone: As you both have said, that barricade is not soft. That is pure steel underneath that padding, and trust me, that padding was not put there to break any fall or alleviate any damage.
Rich Russillo: Then what was it put there for?
Persephone: Literally just the aesthetic.
James Peters: And Myles knows this, as he has TLA right where he wants him! TLA is leaned up against that barricade, as Myles charges in!!! SHOTGUN DROPKICK INTO TLA!!!! MYLES JUST DROVE TLA RIGHT INTO THAT THINLY PADDED BARRICADE!!!! WOW!!!
Persephone: And look at TLA! He drops down into a seated position against that barricade, as Myles begins delivering forearm strikes that land directly at the top of TLA’s head!! Over and over again it’s Myles pelting TLA with these forearms!!!!
Rich Russillo: And now Myles begins to transition into stomps!! The Warlord begins stomping and pressing TLA up against that barricade! Over and over again, TLA continues to get these massive stomps dealt onto him!! He can’t defend against them! He can’t even try to get out of the way! The damage he has faced over the course of this match is far too great for him to truly get himself into a better position right now, and Myles is taking full advantage of that!
Persephone: Myles is keeping the pressure on him, and really wearing him down. Basically dissecting TLA right now!!
Rich Russillo: WAIT LOOK!! IT’S MINERVA WITH A FOREARM TO THE BACK OF MYLES’ HEAD!!!
James Peters: Myles had no idea that Minerva got up from inside of the ring and managed to get behind him!! He clutches at the back of his head in pain, then..
Persephone: MYLES GRABS MINERVA BY THE HEAD AND SLAMS IT AGAINST THE BARRICADE!!!!
James Peters: Minerva is hunched over with her forearms leaned up against the barricade, and Myles drops and elbow down onto the center of her back!! Another elbow strike by Myles, then he follows it up with a powerful kick to the midsection that drops her down to her knees!!
Rich Russillo: Myles walks over to TLA now, and grabs him from off of the ground. He then walks TLA over to the ring apron, then slams TLA’s face up against the edge of the ring!! TLA drops down to a knee, but Myles quickly lifts TLA back up and leans the fellow challenger up against the ring!!!
James Peters: BOOT TO THE FACE BY MYLES!!! TLA DROPS DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR, AND LAYS FLAT ON HIS BACK!!! HE LOOKS LIKE HE JUST GOT HIT BY A TRAIN!!!
Rich Russillo: Myles now turns his head, as he sees Minerva slowly rising to her feet with the assistance of the barricade. She turns around, and leans up against the barricade.
Persephone: SUPERKICK BY MYLES!!! HE JUST TAGGED MINERVA, AS HER HEAD SNAPPED BACK!!!!
Rich Russillo: HE THEN GRABS THE CHAMPION BY THE HEAD AND PULLS IT BETWEEN HIS LEGS!!!
James Peters: From here, Myles lifts Minerva up into a powerbomb position, then… HE SLAMS HER DOWN ONTO TLA’S BODY WITH A POWERBOMB!!!
Rich Russillo: WOW!! WHAT A MOVE BY MYLES!!! YOU COULD SEE THE DAMAGE AND ITS EFFECTS JUST BY LOOKING AT TLA’S FACE RIGHT NOW!!
James Peters: Myles is in a great position currently, and reaches down to grab TLA. The Luchador is limp. He’s barely able to keep himself up, so Myles has to use all of his strength in order to slide TLA back into the ring!! Myles with the pin!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRR-
James Peters: NO!!! THERE’S THE KICK OUT BY TLA!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Myles isn’t too happy about that one, as this was the perfect opportunity to come out with the win. Minerva was down on the outside, and it looked like TLA was surely out of it.
Persephone: That isn’t stopping Myles though. He may not have gotten the fall, but he’s already plotting his next move!! Stomp to the body by Myles!! Another!! And another!!!
James Peters: Myles continues stomping down onto TLA. Eventually, it gets to the point where TLA rolls down onto his stomach, but at that moment it is Myles who drops his elbow down into TLA’s back!!! He then reaches up towards the head!!!
Rich Russillo: CROSS FACE!!!! MYLES HAS THE CROSSFACE LOCKED IN, AS HE WRENCHES AND PULLS BACK ON TLA’S HEAD, FACE, AND NECK!!!!!
Persephone: The pain that this move is causing is insane!! The amount of pressure on TLA’s neck may make him feel like it is going to break!! Myles doesn’t stop, and continues to pull back with all of his might!!! TLA MAY NEED TO TAP!!!
James Peters: No!! TLA IS A FIGHTER!! HE’S A WARRIOR!! HE TAPS OUT TO NO MAN!! NOT TO A CROSS FACE!!! THIS IS FOR THE WORLD TITLE!! HE CAN’T ALLOW IT TO END LIKE THIS, SO HE BEGINS REACHING OUT TOWARDS THE SIDE ROPES!!!
Rich Russillo: MYLES IS MAKING IT HARD WHILE ON TOP OF TLA RIGHT NOW!! HE’S TUGGING ON HIS HEAD!!! PULLING WITH ALL OF HIS MIGHT!!! THE LUCHADOR IS STRUGGLING SO MUCH AS HE TRIES TO EXTEND OUT AND GET HIMSELF OUT OF THIS SITUATION!!!
Persephone: HE’S JUST A COUPLE FEET AWAY!!!
James Peters: TLA IS TRYING AS HARD AS HE CAN TO MAKE IT TO THE ROPES!
Persephone: NOW A COUPLE INCHES!!!
James Peters: HE’S NEARLY AT THE ROPES!
Persephone: HE’S CENTIMETERS AWAY!!!!
Rich Russillo: TLA REACHES OUT!
Persephone: AND TLA GRABS THE ROPES!!! TLA GRABS THE ROPES AND FORCES THE ROPE BREAK!!!!
Rich Russillo: Myles releases the crossface, then rolls over and off to the side. He looks up at the ceiling of this arena!! He’s breathing heavily, and eventually sits up to look at TLA!!!
James Peters: BUT LOOK!!! IT’S MINERVA WHO JUST SLID RIGHT BACK INTO THE RING!!! She’s slow to get up, using the ring ropes to help her up to her feet. Meanwhile, Myles fights his way up to his feet as well. The two step towards the center of the ring.
Persephone: Oh it’s about to go down!!! :mjlit:
Rich Russillo: AND THERE THEY GO!! SOON TO BE MARRIED MYLES AND MINERVA ARE GOING BLOW FOR BLOW WITH ONE ANOTHER! Myles looks to have the upper hand as he backs Minerva into the ropes and then Irish whips her…But Minerva slides under the legs and then faces his back side – THE SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX AS MYLES LANDS HARD ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK! Myles pulls himself up in the corner – AND HERE COMES MINERVA WHO DELIVERS A LEAPING SPLASH FOLLOWED BY A HIP TOSS! Minerva right now is pretty much begging her fiance to get to his feet!
James Peters: Myles stands back up and around to face Minerva – AND MINERVA PICKS HIM UP LOOKING TO PERHAPS SET UP FOR “TPK!!” BUT MYLES SLIPS OUT FROM BEHIND AND THEN GRABS MINERVA BY THE ARM – AND PULLS HER IN FOR A RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE! AND THEN MYLES DROPS HER DOWN AND LOCKS IN “CHECKMAYT!!!” THE RINGS OF SATURN SUBMISSION IS APPLIED ON THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION HERE, WHAT IS SHE GOING TO DO?!?!
Persephone: Well we all know that she isn’t going to give in without one he’ll if a fight, and you can see the determination on hervfsve ad she tries to drag herself to the ropes – BUT HOW MUCH DOES SHE HAVE LEFT?! MYLES IS SHOWING NO MERCY RIGHT HERE AND MINERVA MIGHT BE IN SOME SERIOUS, SERIOUS TROUBLE!
Rich Russillo: LOOK IN THE SKY!!!!! “BURNOUT” FROM TLA ON TOP OF THE BOTH OF THEM!! THE CORKSCREW 360 SENTON HIT BEAUTIFULLY AS TLA FLIPS MYLES OVER FOR THE COVER!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!
James Peters: BUT MYLES GETS THE SHOULDER UP!! AND TLA QUICKLY JUMPS OVER TO MINERVA AND MAKES THE COVER!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: AND THIS TIME MINERVA KICKS OUT!!! All three are down now before TLA stands back up and he has his choice of who he wants to target here. AND TLA SUPERKICKS MYLES AS HE GOES FLYING OUT OF THE RING, AND TLA TURNS HIS ATTENTION TO MINERVA! He’s saying he wants to beat the champion, and it looks like he wants to do it right now as he puts her between the legs…AND HE’S GOING FOR THE “MEXICAN DESTROYER!!!
James Peters: BUT MINERVA DOESN’T LET IT HAPPEN AS SHE COUNTERS IT WITH A BACK BODY DROP!! Minerva takes a second in the corner to catch her breath before pulling herself up and approaching TLA as he turns around to face her, A forearm strike, BUT TLA BLOCKED IT AND DELIVERS SEVERAL PALM STRIKES THAT DRIVES MINERVA INTO THE CORNER! TLA BACKS UP A FEW FEET TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER AND RUNS FULL SPEED LOOKING FOR THE DOUBLE KNEES TO THE FACE – BUT MINERVA MOVED AT THE LAST SECOND! TLA might be in some serious danger right here as Minerva – MINERVA SETS HERSELF UP IN THE CORNER RIGHT BESIDE TLA….”HELL’S BELLS!!!” AS MINERVA HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!
Rich Russillo: OH MY GOD!! MYLES SAVES THE MATCH BY PULLING TLA OUT OF THE RING BY THE FEET WHILE HE WAS GETTING PINNED!! AND MYLES DOESN’T STOP THERE AS HE RUNS FULL SPEED AND DRIVES TLA SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE!!
*CRASH!*
James Peters: MYLES TURNED AROUND AND MINERVA IMMEDIATELY SPEARS HIM RIGHT THROUGH THE BARRICADE!!! ALL THREE COMPETITORS ARE DOWN IN THE RUBBLE!! :damn:
Persephone: I’m not too sure how smart that was on Minerva’s part because it looks like she just did some damage to herself as well as they all emerge from the rubble and Minerva picks up TLA and tosses him back inside the ring. Minerva picks TLA up by the head – AND TLA CATCHES HER BY SURPRISE WITH AN INSIDE CRADLE!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!
James Peters: DID HE GET HER?! No he didn’t as the referee says it was only two and a half and now both if them race up to their feet, and TLA runs at Minerva as she goes for the clothesline, BUT TLA DUCKED IT AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE SECOND ROPE…BUT MINERVA CATCHES HIM WITH A SPINEBUSTER IN MID AIR!! Minerva doesn’t go for the cover though as she immediately stalks TLA as he stirs to his feet as she keeps an eye on Myles at ringside.
Rich Russillo: AND THEN MINERVA GOES FOR “THE DEVIL’S TOUCH!”….BUT NO TLA CAUGHT THE LEG AND THEN DELIVERS A LOW LEG SWEEP BEFORE JUMPING UP AND DRIVING BOTH OF HIS FEET INTO THE HEART OF MINERVA!! Now it’s TLA who takes a second to recoup and catch his breath as he scoots to the corner before pulling himself up…BUT MYLES COMES FLYING IN FROM THE TOP ROPE WITH A FLYING KNEE!! THAT KNEE TAKES OUT TLA AS MYLES TURNS HIS FULL ATTENTION ON MINERVA WHO IS BACK UP TO HER FEET HOLDING HIS RIBS IN SOME PAIN AFTER BEING SPEARED THROUGH THE BARRICADE A FEW MOMENTS AGO!
James Peters: MYLES RUNS AND THEN GOES FOR A RUNNING ELBOW…BUT MINERVA SIDESTEPPED BEFORE GOING FOR A SOCCER STYLE KICK TO THE FACE, BUT MYLES DUCKS THAT BEFORE POPPING BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND THEN THEY RUN IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS, AND RUN INTO A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE ON ONE ANOTHER!! Man what a battle between three of the best athletes this company has to offer for the EAW World Championship. TLA is down on the outside as both Myles and Minerva stand up slowly and then turn around to face each other once more….AND THEY’RE GONNA GO AT IT ONCE MORE AS THEY EXCHANGE SHOTS BACK AND FORTH WITH THE OTHER! The crowd is absolutely loving this as are all of we!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA HITS MYLES WITH A RIGHT HAND! MYLES NOW WITH A FOREARM TO MINERVA! NOW MINERVA WITH AN ELBOW TO MYLES! NOW MYLES WITH AN ELBOW OF HIS OWN! MINERVA HITS ANOTHER FOREARM AND MYLES GOES TO RESPOND WITH ANOTHER FOREARM SHOT-
Persephone: BUT MINERVA DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE RUNNING INTO MYLES AND DRIVING HIM BACK FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!!!! MINERVA NOW IS JUST LANDING AS MANY RIGHTS AND LEFTS AS SHE CAN, WILDLY SWINGING AT MYLES AS HE CAN’T DO MUCH NOW BUT TRY TO COVER HIMSELF UP! MINERVA IS BEATING THE HELL OUT OF MYLES AND THIS IS PROBABLY THE RESULT OF EVERYTHING THEY HAD TO SAY TO EACH OTHER IN THE PAST WEEK! THERE’S BEEN A LOT OF TENSION BETWEEN THESE TWO, AND I THINK THAT TENSION HAS BECOME RAGE!
James Peters: MYLES DROPS TO A SEATED POSITION, AND NOW MINERVA STARTS STOMPING AWAY AT HIM!!! MYLES IS BASICALLY DEFENSELESS AS MINERVA RELENTLESSLY STOMPS ON HIM OVER AND OVER, AS HARD AS SHE POSSIBLY CAN! MINERVA NOW RUNNING THE ROPES AS MYLES IS STILL SEATED IN THE CORNER, AND SHE CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE!!! MINERVA RUNS THE ROPES ONCE MORE, AND SHE CONNECTS WITH A SECOND KNEE!!!! MINERVA BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES ONE MORE TIME, AND THERE’S A THIRD KNEE STRIKE!! MINERVA NOW PULLING MYLES BACK UP BEFORE GETTING HIM IN A FRONT FACELOCK!!!
Rich Russillo: ATLAS FALLS!!!!!!
( *CRACK!* )
Rich Russillo: TLA JUST SLID INTO THE RING WITH A STEEL CHAIR AND HIT MINERVA IN THE BACK WITH IT JUST AS SHE LIFTED MYLES UP!!!! MINERVA FALLS DOWN, DROPPING MYLES WITH MORE OF AN XPLEX THAN THE TWISTING BRAINBUSTER THAT SHE WAS LOOKING FOR! Remember everyone, there are no disqualifications in triple threat matches! TLA saw an opportunity and took it, AND NOW HE BEGINS SWINGING THAT CHAIR ONTO BOTH OF HIS OPPONENTS AS NEITHER MINERVA NOR MYLES SEEM TO BE ABLE TO FIGHT BACK!
James Peters: Minerva uses the ropes to start pulling herself up, AND TLA SHOVES THE CHAIR INTO HER MIDSECTION, BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO STOP IT BEFORE IT COULD HIT HER! BOTH ELITISTS STRUGGLING FOR CONTROL AS MYLES GETS BACK UP, AND NOW TLA PULLS THE CHAIR AWAY BEFORE TOSSING IT TO MYLES! MYLES CATCHES THE CHAIR AND NOW TLA SUPERKICKS IT, SENDING IT RIGHT INTO MYLES’ FACE!!!! MINERVA LOOKS FOR A DISCUS LARIAT IN THE MEANTIME, BUT TLA IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT AS HE RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE JUMPING UP AND SENDING MINERVA INTO THE CORNER WITH A HURRICANRANA!
Rich Russillo: TLA RUNS IN AS HE LOOKS FOR A RUNNING VERSION OF THE VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT, BUT MINERVA QUICKLY PULLS HERSELF OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE LANDING A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! Minerva now pulling TLA up onto the top turnbuckle, BUT TLA NOW KICKS MINERVA AWAY BEFORE SHE COULD TRY TO CAPITALIZE! TLA SETS HIMSELF UP ON THE TOP ROPE, AND NOW HE DIVES, TAKING MINERVA OUT WITH A CROSSBODY!!!!!
Persephone: Myles uses the ropes to pull himself up, BUT TLA SENDS HIM OUT ONTO THE APRON WITH A CLOTHESLINE!!!! Myles only landed on the apron because he was able to grab onto the ropes as he was falling, but I don’t think he’s gonna get that lucky again as TLA seems to have something else planned! TLA begins to run the ropes as Myles gets back to his feet, AND TLA JUMPS OVER THE ROPES AND ONTO MYLES’ SHOULDERS, TAKING HIM OFF OF THE APRON WITH A HURRICANRANA-
James Peters: WAIT, WAIT A SECOND!!! MYLES MANAGED TO HOLD ONTO TLA, STOPPING HIM FROM DELIVERING THE HURRICANRANA!!!! MYLES POWERS TLA UP INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION, AND WHATEVER HE HAS PLANNED RIGHT NOW CAN’T BE GOOD! TLA WAS ON FIRE AFTER RE-ENTERING THIS MATCH, AND IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING IS ABOUT TO COME CRASHING DOWN IN A HUGE WAY AS-
Rich Russillo: WHAT THE HELL!? MINERVA JUST RAN IN AND DROPKICKED MYLES OFF OF THE APRON, SENDING BOTH MEN OUT TO RINGSIDE AS TLA IS SENT BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE!!!! MINERVA STILL SOMEHOW ABLE TO FIND THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT, AND AS MYLES STARTS TO GET BACK UP MINERVA STARTS RUNNING THE ROPES!!!!! SUICIDE DIVE!!!!!
Persephone: NO!!!! MYLES CAUGHT MINERVA OUT OF THE AIR AND IS USING JUST HIS STRENGTH TO HOLD HER UP INTO A SUPLEX POSITION! MYLES LIFTS MINERVA UP, BEFORE DROPPING HER WITH A SUPLEX ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!!! ALL THREE ELITISTS ARE DOWN AFTER THAT EXCHANGE, AND NOW IT’S UP TO WHOEVER’S ABLE TO GET BACK UP FIRST TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY! All three of them took a lot of damage, so I honestly don’t think I have any idea who’ll be able to close this one out!
James Peters: TLA is somehow able to use the barricade to start pulling himself up, but it looks like Myles is able to start getting up as well! TLA pulls himself up onto the apron, AND AS SOON AS MYLES IS ON HIS FEET TLA DIVES AT HIM WITH A DIVING CLOTHESLINE OFF THE BARRICADE! TLA PUSHES HIMSELF BACK UP TO HIS FEET BEFORE GRABBING MYLES AND SENDING HIM INTO THE RING POST, AND RIGHT NOW MYLES IS IN A LOT OF TROUBLE AS TLA GETS ONTO THE APRON! Myles uses the apron to get back up, AND NOW TLA CHARGES IN WITH A SLIDING KNEE-
Rich Russillo: THE KNEE DOESN’T CONNECT!! MYLES PULLED HIMSELF OUT OF HARMS WAY AS TLA GETS BACK UP- JUST FOR MYLES TO GRAB AND PULL HIS LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HIM, DROPPING TLA BACK FIRST ONTO THE RING APRON! Myles takes a second to catch his breath before seeing that Minerva is using another side of the apron to lean on and recover, AND NOW MYLES RUNS IN BEFORE JUMPING ONTO THE APRON, DELIVERING A DROPKICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD THAT TAKES MINERVA OUT! Myles now grabbing Minerva before sending her back into the ring, and he quickly follows behind!
Persephone: Minerva quickly rolls to a knee, AND MYLES RUNS IN FOR A KNEE TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD BUT MINERVA PULLS HERSELF OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE PUSHING MYLES INTO THE ROPES! MYLES BOUNCES OFF RIGHT INTO A BICYCLE KICK- NO! MYLES CAUGHT MINERVA’S LEG AND NOW HE SPINS HER AROUND BEFORE SCOOPING HER UP INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY! MYLES NOW WITH THE FIREMAN’S CARRY FACEBREAKER-
James Peters: NO! MINERVA LANDS ON HER FEET AND STOPS HER FACE FROM HITTING MYLES’ KNEE! MINERVA NOW WITH THE DEVIL’S TOUCH!!!!
Rich Russillo: NO, MYLES DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE HITTING MINERVA WITH A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION! MYLES NOW LOOKING TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY! DE FACTO!!!!!!
James Peters: DOESN’T CONNECT!!! THESE TWO KNOW EACH OTHER TOO WELL, AND THAT JUST ALLOWED MINERVA TO SLIP BEHIND MYLES BEFORE QUICKLY USING ALL THE STRENGTH SHE HAS TO PULL MYLES UP! THE PRINCESS KILLER!!!!!! MINERVA JUST DROPPED MYLES ON HIS HEAD AND IT LOOKS LIKE KING OF ELITE IS GOING TO END THE SAME WAY PAIN FOR PRIDE DID, WITH MINERVA PINNING MYLES FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! THAT’S IT, THIS ONE IS OVER!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTHHHRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
…
…..
…..
Rich Russillo: TLA BREAKS IT UP!!!! TLA USED ALL THE ENERGY HE HAS LEFT TO JUMP ONTO MINERVA AND MYLES, BREAKING UP THE PIN JUST BEFORE THE REFEREE’S HAND COULD HIT THE MAT A THIRD TIME!!! MINERVA CAN’T BELIEVE IT, BUT SHE GETS NO TIME TO REACT AS TLA QUICKLY GRABS HER AND THROWS HER OVER THE TOP ROPE, LOOKING TO TAKE HER OUT OF THE EQUATION!
Persephone: Look, Minerva held on and landed on the apron! TLA charges in, BUT MINERVA STICKS HER KNEE OUT, LANDING RIGHT IN TLA’S MIDSECTION AS HE HAS TO STUMBLE BACK!
James Peters: Both Elitists are barely able to move seeing how much damage they’ve taken in this match, BUT NOW MINERVA JUMPS UP AS SHE GOES FOR A-
Rich Russillo: VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT BY TLA!!!!
James Peters: MINERVA LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS ABOUT TO TAKE A PAGE OUT OF TLA’S BOOK AND GO HIGH RISK, BUT TLA JUST SHUT HER DOWN WITH A VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT, DROPPING HER DOWN ONTO HER FEET! TLA CONNECTS WITH A SECOND ONE, AND MINERVA DROPS DOWN TO HER KNEES AS HER HEAD IS HUNG UP ON THE MIDDLE ROPE!!! THAT WAS CATASTROPHIC FOR MINERVA, AND IT LOOKS LIKE TLA SEES AN OPPORTUNITY TO DELIVER ANOTHER DEVASTATING MOVE AS HE QUICKLY BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES!
Rich Russillo: 305 TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!!! A MODIFIED VERSION OF THE 305 TARGETING THE BACK OF MINERVA’S HEAD CONNECTS AND MINERVA FALLS OFF OF THE APRON AND DOWN TO RINGSIDE, LEAVING TLA AND MYLES IN THE RING! TLA heads up to the top rope, but after all that time wasted Myles is showing signs of life and pushing himself back up to his feet!
James Peters: MYLES NOTICES TLA UP TOP AND RUNS IN TO TRY AND KNOCK HIM OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, BUT TLA JUMPS OVER MYLES AND ROLLS BACK TO HIS FEET! BOTH ELITISTS CHARGE AT ONE ANOTHER- BEFORE TLA CONNECTS WITH A SPINNING BACK ELBOW!!!!!
Rich Russillo: TLA now starting to set Myles up for the Mexican Destroyer, BUT MYLES BEGINS PUNCHING AT TLA’S SIDE, DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO FORCE TLA TO LET GO OF HIM! MYLES FINALLY PUSHES TLA AWAY BEFORE STUMBLING BACKWARDS INTO THE CORNER, BUT TLA ISN’T BACKING DOWN JUST YET! TLA CHARGES RIGHT BACK TOWARDS MYLES- BUT MYLES IS SOMEHOW ABLE TO POP TLA UP OVER HIS HEAD, CAUSING TLA TO LAND ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Those two need to be careful, the chair TLA brought in earlier is right there on the mat!
Persephone: TLA kicks Myles away from him before turning around, BUT MYLES NOW RUNS IN BEFORE HITTING TLA WITH AN ELBOW STRIKE! Myles now beginning to slowly make his way up the turnbuckles, and I think Myles noticed the chair was there too because he just set it up and placed it on the mat, creating enough space for one of them to land on that chair if they fall off the top rope! I’m not so sure what Myles is looking for, but as long as they’re on the top rope it’s gonna be dangerous-
James Peters: WAIT A SECOND, I DON’T THINK IT’S MYLES WHOSE PLAN WE NEED TO BE WORRIED ABOUT RIGHT NOW! TLA JUST HIT MYLES WITH A HEADBUTT BEFORE BEGINNING TO REPEATEDLY ELBOW HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD, AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S THE ONE THAT MIGHT JUST BE IN TROUBLE! MINERVA IS ONLY JUST NOW STARTING TO STIR AFTER BEING HIT WITH THREE OF TLA’S BIGGEST MOVES BACK TO BACK, ALL OF WHICH TARGETED THE HEAD AND MAY HAVE LEFT HER UNCONSCIOUS! AND I THINK TLA IS ABOUT TO PUT MYLES AWAY AND BECOME A THREE TIME WORLD CHAMPION, THIS ISN’T LOOKING GOOD FOR MYLES!
Rich Russillo: TLA CONTINUES TO REPEATEDLY ELBOW AWAY AT THE BACK OF MYLES’ HEAD BEFORE STARTING TO PUNCH AWAY AT HIS BACK, AND HE’S DOING THAT FOR GOOD REASON FROM THE LOOKS OF IT! PRIOR TO JUST NOW MYLES HAD BEEN DOING EVERYTHING HE COULD TO KEEP FIGHTING, BUT HE’S FINALLY SLOWING DOWN ENOUGH FOR TLA TO SHOW WHAT HE’S REALLY BEEN LOOKING FOR! TLA SLOWLY BEGINS TO STAND UP ON THE ROPES BEFORE PULLING MYLES’ HEAD BETWEEN HIS LEGS, AND I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHAT HE’S SETTING UP FOR! TLA IS ABOUT TO HIT MYLES WITH THE VERY MEXICAN DESTROYER! IF THAT CONNECTS, MYLES WILL GO HEAD FIRST ONTO THE STEEL CHAIR THAT *HE* KICKED OUT OF THE WAY!
James Peters: MYLES JUST SHOVED TLA’S LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HIM, CAUSING HIM TO DROP DOWN ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!! MYLES CLIMBS UP BEFORE BEGINNING TO REPEATEDLY HEADBUTT TLA, AND NOW IT’S MYLES STARTING TO SET UP FOR SOMETHING!!! WHATEVER IT IS MYLES IS SETTING UP FOR IS BIG, AND I THINK TLA MAY HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF THROWING MYLES OFF OF THE TOP ROPE BECAUSE LOOK AT THIS!
Rich Russillo: MYLES GETS TLA IN POSITION FOR A MOVE WE KNOW VERY WELL, IT’S THE SAME MOVE VARIATION WE SAW AGAINST YHWACH O’HARA BACK AT ROAD TO REDEMPTION!!!! DE FACTO OFF THE TOP ROPE!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: IT CONNECTS!!!! TLA JUST LANDED BACK FIRST ONTO THAT STEEL CHAIR AFTER A FALL FROM THE TOP ROPE!!! THE FORCE OF THAT FALL JUST BROKE THE CHAIR, AND NOW MYLES USED HIS LAST BIT OF STRENGTH TO PULL HIMSELF OVER TLA!!!! THERE’S THE COVER!!!!
OOOOOONNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Persephone: BUT LOOK!!!! MINERVA JUST PULLED HERSELF UP USING THE APRON, AND SHE SEES MYLES PINNING TLA!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
James Peters: MINERVA IS BACK IN THE RING AND SHE’S TRYING TO BREAK UP THE PIN!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Rich Russillo: SHE’S TOO LATE!!!
(The crowd can’t believe what just happened as ‘Enemy Strike’ begins to blast over the public address system.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND NEW EAW WORLD CHAMPION… MYLES!!!!
(An exhausted Myles rolls off of TLA and struggles into a sitting position. He’s beaten, battered, and bruised, but he did what he sat out to do. He won the EAW World Championship for a second time.)
(Inches from Myles sits a crushed Minerva. She poured her entire heart and soul into her championship reign and now it was over.)
Persephone: Is it wrong that I kinda want her to beat the hell out of him right now?
James Peters: :lupe: Because the beating he got in the match wasn’t enough?
Persephone: Screw gingers. They’re freaking gross anyway.
Rich Russillo: I’m not sure where Myles and Minerva go from here, but all I have to say is that was one hell of a match. All three of our competitors did what they could to win the match, but in the end, it was Myles who overcame the challenges of TLA and Minerva to get his second title reign.
James Peters: I thought TLA had it won there at the end. He was going for the kill on Myles but somehow, someway Myles found a way to block TLA from hitting the ‘Very Mexican Destroyer’ on him while they were perched on the top rope.
Persephone: Not that I’m trying to give the weirdo a compliment or anything, but ‘The DeFacto’ off the top rope and onto a steel chair was literally freaking insane.
(The entire match could be categorized as insane, and now with both Myles and Minerva on their feet, the crowd had started to settle down. The referee had helped TLA out of the ring and medics were down at ringside checking the Hall of Famer to make sure he was okay.)
(The referee had returned and in his hands was the EAW World Championship. He goes to present it to Myles, but Minerva is quick to yank it from his hands. The crowd gasped, but for Minerva, time stood still. She took a few seconds to look down at the championship in her hands and reflect on her reign. She had put everything she had into becoming one of the best EAW World Champions in history. Despite the heartbreak of losing, a hint of a smile touches her face and for the last time, she brushes her fingers across her nameplate. After that she glances up and her eyes lock with Myles.)
Persephone: 🍿
James Peters: :lupe:
Rich Russillo: :lupe:
(In a show of sportsmanship that he probably didn’t deserve, Minerva hands the title over to Myles. The crowd remains silent, but when Minerva takes his hand and raises it in the air, they let out the breath they were holding. ‘Enemy Strike’ begins to play once again, and Myles lets out a sigh of relief. When Minerva lets his hand go, he goes to hug her, but she places her hand firmly on his chest.)
Minerva: (off-mic) No.
(Confusion filters across Myles’ face and he watches as Minerva turns around and exits the ring. She never looks back as Myles watches her go, but once she disappears behind the curtain, he looks down at the EAW World Championship. Unable to help it, he cracks a grin and nods his head. His comeback may not have begun with a victory back at Road to Redemption, but he was able to do what he set out to do the second Captain Charisma gave him this opportunity. He became the EAW World Champion.)
(A few seconds later, Myles raises the title in the air. Despite the grin he had moments earlier, something felt different. He didn’t feel complete. Minerva wasn’t out there with him and that hurt a hell of a lot more than he thought.)
(With a final shot of Myles’ melancholy expression, King of Elite fades away.)
(Slowly, the camera would fade back into shot, as we have a long, continuous shot of the Rogers Arena, Vancouver BC. The crowd would be resting, before eventually, the lights would begin to dim, and the camera fades into the titantron. We would see blank footage, however, in the background we would hear the buzzing from what seems to be a fan, or a light. Eventually, it’d be confirmed as an LED Elite Answers Wrestling logo would be shown on screen, clearly attached to a building of some sorts. It would begin to flash, before it remains on screen. Slowly, the camera pans back…)
Narrator: Are you prepared to *face the music?*
(Slowly, the camera would pan through what appears to be a long winding street, eventually meeting another LED sign reading ‘GEODIS Park.’)
Narrator: Elitists have been asked this question for many years, with different answers…
(The camera would fade away from the LED sign, as we see people enjoying themselves in the street, a party bike even drives by, before the camera focuses on what appears to be a theatre banner reading “Welcome to Nashville.”)
Narrator: Some have have proven their worth, others have fallen…
(The camera would slowly fade back to another sign, this time musical symbols often found on piano notes would radiate off of it, reading “Friday June 16th to Sunday June 18th.”)
Narrator: This stage will be your proving ground.
(Slowly, the camera fades over to one final sign, zoomed in. The text at the very center reading ‘Pain’, the LED buzzing in and out of action.)
Narrator: This stage will be where YOU get to answer this long-awaited question.
(The camera pans over, reaching the next letter of the sign, the LED’s displaying ‘For’ in center frame of the image for all to see.)
Narrator: This stage will be where YOU get to answer a question many others have struggled to properly respond to. Will you be able to face the music? Or will you fall with the rest?
(The camera then pans over to the final word of the sign, this time reading ‘Pride’, as the flickering of the LED lights stops, ‘Pride’ lighting up the screen, and never fading away. Slowly the camera would pull back to read the full text.)
Narrator: That is the question we must all know the answer to… From June 16th, to June 18th, in the Music City… this will be your time to answer.
(Slowly, the camera would pan out, as the full ‘Pain For Pride 16’ logo appears center frame, the diffusion from the LED lights creating a lens flare on the camera…)
Narrator: In GEODIS Park, welcome to…
(Slowly, the LED light would begin to materialize into the logo itself, no longer hung up on a wall outside, this time displaying fully on the titantron itself…)
Narrator: PAIN FOR PRIDE 16…
(SCREEN: 16th – 18th June, 2023. LIVE! From GEODIS Park, Nashville Tennessee!)
(The next match graphic appears)
(The camera cuts back to the ringside area as Bella Braxton is seen standing with a bright smile on her face and a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A TRIPLE THREAT MATCH AND IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘O Fortuna’ by Carl Orff blasts through the speakers to a loud negative reception from the audience, as EAW Hall of Famer, Madison Kaline, is seen making her presence felt as she makes her way out to the stage, with a huge smirk on her face growing even bigger within every single second passing. The crowd hasn’t slowed down in the slightest, instead keeps going louder, as Madison Kaline spreads her arms wide in the air, embracing the negative reception pouring down on her from the crowd right now, before quickly starting to make her way down to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST… FROM TAMPA BAY, FLORIDA… WEIGHING IN AT 120 POUNDS… ‘THE MISTRESS OF DEATH…’ MAAAAAADIIIIIDOOOOOON KAAAAAAAALIIIIINEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Stew-O: And here we are ladies and gentlemen, this triple threat match is a few seconds away from officially starting, and Madison Kaline has arrived! Ever since the start of Season Sixteen, Madison Kaline has been able to prove to be still in her prime and that she’s willing to make this run EVEN better than her previous run in EAW, from Main Eventing Midsummer Massacre against Andre Walker for the Undisputed World Heavyweight Interwire Championship, to main eventing Road to Redemption against Sienna Jade for the Universal Women’s Championship! If anything though, Madison Kaline unfortunately came up short on *both* dates as she, despite how great she has been this season, hasn’t really had the best of luck as of late, but tonight is her chance to get back on track and rebound, which wouldn’t come to my surprise if she actually does. She’s a EAW Hall of Famer for a reason, and tonight is her chance to bring us the bragging rights!
(As Madison Kaline is in the ring, flexing her neck and stretching her arms, waiting for her opponents against her corner, ‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics, Annie Lennox, & Dave Stewart replaces ‘O Fortuna’ as the crowd’s negative reception and boos don’t change, but instead get only louder as Harper Lee makes her way out to the stage with a confident facial expression, staring at Madison Kaline while hysterically laughing it off a bit, before wasting zero time as she walks down the ramp, making her way down to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: AND HER OPPONENT… FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CALIFORNIA… WEIGHING IN AT 118 POUNDS… ‘WOMAN WITHOUT FEAR…’ HAAAAARPEEEEER LEEEEEEEE!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: CAPTAIN HARPER IS HEREEEEEEEEE :blessed:! You see, pretty much like Madison Kaline, Harper Lee has been on Rampage this season, starting it off with cashing in her Iconic Cup she won only one week prior on the then-Universal Women’s Champion Andrea Valentine AND dethroning her for the title. Harper Lee has had a great reign, but it all came crashing down when she lost the Universal Women’s Championship to Sienna Jade at Justified Reckoning, and then following that up with another heartbreaking shortcomings to Veena Adams at Road to Redemption in the National Elite Championship Scramble Contenders Match. Now after forming POTARA with Holly Arrow and rejoining the tag team division for the first time since breaking up The Realm with Sierra Bradford, Harper Lee looks to bounce back from every single loss she’s had and prove to be still a credible Elitist in singles competition. Let’s see what she brings to the table here tonight!
(As Harper Lee rolls in the ring and faces off with Madison Kaline before backing off to her corner, ‘Amerika’ by Rammstein replaces ‘Sweet Dreams’ as the crowd’s emotions do not shift in the slightest. Sheridan Muller makes her way out to the stage with a serious, not-so-happy facial expression on her face which displays nothing but pure focus and determination. After a few moments, Sheridan quickly starts walking down the ramp and making her way down to the ring to get this contest started, quickly having no intentions to wait anymore.)
Bella Braxton: AND THEIR OPPONENT… FROM ATLANTA, GEORGIA… WEIGHING IN AT 135 POUNDS… ‘THE FLAMESTRESS…’ SHEEEEERIDAAAAAAANNN MUUUUULEEEERRRRRRRRR!!!
Persephone: AND WE’RE ABOUT TO GET STARTED, WHICH MAKES ME EXCITED AND NOT AT ALL THINKING THAT I WILL FEEL BORED WATCHING THIS BOUT 🙂🙂🙂! About Sheridan Muller though, if you want an example of an Elitist who left and then came back absolutely better than ever, then look no further. It is why Sheridan Muller won the Comeback of the Year Award, it is why she was able to win the Unified Tag Team Championships along with the EOE, Dr. Bethany Blue, just six months after returning, and it is why she was able to secure herself a solidified main event spot on Voltage this season! Though after two back-to-back crushing losses to Soul Food Sunday for the Unified Tag Team Championships at Road to Redemption and then Sienna Jade for the Universal Women’s Championship at the Christmas Event, Sheridan Muller looks to bounce back with a keypoint victory right here over two former World Champions, and I hope she does so Voltage can get the bragging rights :drakelike:!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper Lee, Madison Kaline, and Sheridan Muller fighting in the same ring 😍😍😍! A masterpiece is about to come! Only because of their amazing abilities inside the ring, of course, though.
Persephone: :comeagain:
Stew-O: :francis:
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: HERE WE ARE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE ARE OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY NOW! THIS HIGHLY ANTICIPATED CROSS-BRANDED TRIPLE THREAT MATCH BETWEEN FORMER VIXENS AND UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPION SHERIDAN MULLER, FORMER UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION HARPER LEE, AND EAW HALL OF FAMER MADISON KALINE HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN, AND IT DOESN’T EVEN TAKE A MINUTE TO TO GET THE PHYSICAL INTERACTIONS STARTED HERE AS ALL THREE OF THESE WOMEN HAVE PATIENTLY WAITED FOR THIS MOMENT TO COME, AND NOW THIS IS THEIR CHANCE TO BACK UP EVERY PROMISE THEY MADE! BOTH MADDIE AND SHERIDAN GO AFTER HARPER LEE COMPLETELY GOING AT IT, AND HARPER IS OVERWHELMED! IF ANYTHING, IT’S NO SECRET THAT NOBODY LIKES THIS WOMAN, AND NOW BOTH SHERIDAN MULLER AND MADISON KALINE ARE TAKING OUT THEIR ANGER ON HER FOR EVERYTHING SHE’S SAID THIS WEEK!
Gavin Kirkland: :noah: COME ON, DON’T DO THAT TO THE KWEEN SHOWDOWN REPRESENTATIVE, DO NOT DO THAT! THIS MATCH JUST STARTED AND EVERYBODY IS GOING AFTER THE WOMAN REPRESENTING SHOWDOWN! THAT ACTUALLY TELLS A LOT, BUT NONETHELESS SHERIDAN AND MADISON ARE NOW BOTH BEATING THE HECK OUT OF HARPER LEE AND CONTINUOUSLY NAILING HER WITH A BUNCH OF VARIOUS KICKS AND STRIKES, AND HARPER LEE IS STILL HELPLESS! SHERIDAN MULLER NOW GRABS HARPER LEE AS SHE NAILS HER WITH A HUGE KICK STRAIGHT INTO THE GUT, BEFORE LIFTING HER UP ON HER SHOULDERS AND SIGNALING FOR MADISON TO JOIN IN AS NOW BOTH WOMEN HAVE HARPER LEE IN THE POSITION FOR A DOUBLE POWERBOMB, WHICH IS WHAT THEY DO INDEED! DOUBLE POWERBOMB BY SHERIDAN MULLER AND MADISON KALINE TO HARPER LEE! WHAT A MANEUVER BY BOTH WOMEN RIGHT HERE! WHAT A DISPLAY OF TEAMWORK!
Persephone: WHICH THEY DON’T SEEM TO HAVE ANY INTENTIONS TO STOP NOW, LOOKS LIKE THEY’RE COMPLETELY WILLING TO CONTINUE BEATING UP THE HARPER LEE THEY JUST GROUNDED, WHICH I WILL LOVE TO WITNESS— I MEAN, BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE THIS MATCH EVEN MORE INTERESTING TO WATCH AND NOT BECAUSE OF ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH VIOLENCE! I’M GENUINE 😃! BUT LOOK, MADISON KALINE AND SHERIDAN MULLER ARE NOW BOTH STOMPING THE LIFE OUT OF HARPER LEE, AND THEY DON’T STOP! BOTH SHERIDAN MULLER AND MADISON KALINE ARE GOING AT IT WITH THOSE RAPID NONSTOP STOMPS STRAIGHT INTO THE CHEST OF HARPER LEE, AND AFTER A GOOD WHILE THEY FINALLY STOP AS THEY PICK HARPER LEE BACK UP TO HER FEET, AND TOSS HER OUT OF THE RING! HARPER LEE IS NOT TEMPORARILY OUT OF THIS MATCHUP—
Stew-O: LIKE THE SNAKE SHE IS, SHERIDAN MULLER ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH A BIG BOOT RIGHT INTO THE SKULL OF MADISON KALINE WHICH SENDS HER FALLS DOWNING THE RING MAT WITH AUTHORITY! IT’S EASY TO TELL THAT MADISON KALINE DID NOT SEE THAT COMING, BUT SHERIDAN MULLER IS APPARENTLY NOT HERE TO MAKE FRIEND; SHE’S HERE FOR THE WIN! HARPER LEE IS NOW OUT OF THE WAY AND SHERIDAN HAS NO REASON TO COOPERATE WITH MADISON ANYMORE, AND NOW SHE SENT HER OUT OF HER HAIR! SHERIDAN NOW WASTES NO TIME AS SHE QUICKLY JUMPS INTO THE SEMI-GROUNDED BODY OF THE EAW HALL OF FAMER AND STARTS BEATING THE HECK OUT OF HER WITH THE FOREARM STRIKES RIGHT INTO THE FACE! SHERIDAN MULLER IS GOING ALL OUT RIGHT NOW, AND IT IS ALL AT THE EXPENSE OF BOTH OF HER OPPONENTS HERE TONIGHT!
Gavin Kirkland: AND NOW SHERIDAN MULLER STANDS BACK UP ON HER FEET AS SHE STARES DOWN AT MADISON KALINE BEFORE PICKING HER RIGHT BACK UP TO HER FEE- BUT MADISON KALINE ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH A SMALL PACKAGE PIN WHICH CATCHES HER OFF GUARD! MADISON KALINE FROM OUT OF NOWHERE WITH THE ROLL-UP AND IT’S EASY TO TELL THAT SHERIDAN MULLER NEVER SAW THIS COMING! MADISON KALINE HAD TO FIGURE OUT A METHOD TO GET BACK IN THIS MATCH AND REGAIN FULL CONTROL OVER IT, AND THAT HAPPENED TO BE WHAT MIGHT LITERALLY MAKE HER STEAL THE WHOLE WIN ALBEIT THE MATCH RECENTLY STARTED! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN AND MADISON KALINE MIGHT JUST STEAL IT RIGHT HERE WITH THE SMALL PACKAGE PIN TO FROM OUT OF NOWHERE!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE-
Persephone: HAHA YES, VOLTAGE LIVES AS SHERIDAN MULLER FORCES THE SHOULDER UP FROM THE MAT WITH EASE AS BOTH COMPETITORS IMMEDIATELY SHOOT BACK UP TO THEIR FEET, BUT NO, IT’S MADISON KALINE WHO’S ABLE TO CAPITALIZE ON THIS SITUATION AS SHE TAKES DOWN SHERIDAN WITH A RUNNING CROSSBODY! MADISON KALINE IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH THE RUNNING CROSSBODY AND SHERIDAN MULLER FALLS DOWN THE RING MAT! BUT THAT IS APPARENTLY NOT ALL! MADISON QUICKLY GETS RIGHT BACK UP TO HER FEET AS SHE GRABS SHERIDAN PICKING HER RIGHT BACK UP TO HER FEET, BEFORE DROPPING HER DOWN WITH THE NECKBREAKER! THE NECKBREAKER BY MADISON KALINE DROPS DOWN SHERIDAN MULLER WITH AUTHORITY!
Stew-O: AND THE EAW HALL OF FAMER IS YET TO FEEL SATISFIED, MADDIE STILL ISN’T DONE! MADISON KALINE STARES DOWN THE GROUNDED HARPER LEE WITH AN EVIL SMIRK ON HER FACE, AND FROM A FACIAL EXPRESSION LIKE THIS ONE, I WOULD SAY THAT NO MATTER WHAT SHE HAS IN MIND, THAT DOESN’T LOOK SO GOOD FOR SHERIDAN MULLER – AND IT ISN’T GOOD INDEED; MADISON KALINE WITH A JUMPING KNEE DROP RIGHT TO THE SKULL OF SHERIDAN MULLER! WHAT A MANEUVER– WAIT, NO I WAS MISTAKEN, SHERIDAN MULLER IS ABLE TO ROLL AROUND AS THE EAW HALL OF FAMER CRASHES WITH HER KNEE STRAIGHT INTO THE RING MAT, AND NOW SHERIDAN IS BACK UP TO HER FEET AS SHE GRABS MADISON KALINE, AND LIFTS HER UP IN THE POSITION FOR A SUPLEX—
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER LEE FROM BEHIND WITH THE KENDO STICK STRAIGHT INTO THE SPINE OF SHERIDAN MULLER AS SHERIDAN HOLDS HER BACK, RELEASING THE HOLD SHE HAD ON MADISON KALINE AND DROPPING DOWN TO HER KNEES, BUT THAT IS ALL FOR HARPER LEE TO NAIL HER WITH **ANOTHER** STRIKE RIGHT INTO THE SPINE WITH THAT KENDO STICK AS SHERIDAN MULLER FALLS DOWN COMPLETELY! MADISON KALINE IS ON HER KNEES, BUT IT’S NOT LIKE HARPER LEE WILL APPROACH HER WITH ANYTHING DIFFERENT OR ANY MORE MERCY, EITHER; HARPER LEE WITH A KENDO STICK STRIKE RIGHT INTO THE HEAD OF THE MADISON AS MADISON FALLS DOWN NEXT TO SHERIDAN! WOOOOOOO! WE STAN A KWEEN! :blessed: :blessed: :blessed:
Stew-O: APPARENTLY, HARPER LEE IS SEEKING REVENGE FOR WHAT HAPPENED EARLIER IN THIS MATCHUP! SHER AND MADDIE POKED THE BEAR AND THEY ARE PAYING THE PRICE FOR IT! HARPER LEE HAS THIS KENDO STICK IN HER HANDS, AND NOW SHE CAN DO EVERYTHING SHE WANTS TO DO! HARPER LEE HITS THE GROUNDED MADISON KALINE WITH THAT KENDO STICK! AND THEN SHE HITS SHERIDAN WITH THE STICK! HARPER LEE IS BEATING THE HECK OUT OF BOTH COMPETITORS FOR WHAT HAPPENED EARLIER USING THAT STICK, AND NOW SHE THROWS IT AWAY, CHOOSING TO GO AFTER SHERIDAN! IT’S ALREADY WELL KNOWN THAT HARPER LEE AND SHERIDAN MULLER ARE TWO INDIVIDUALS THAT DESPISE ONE ANOTHER, AND IT’S OBVIOUS TO SEE THEM FOCUSING ON EACH OTHER ESPECIALLY DURING THIS MATCHUP!
Gavin Kirkland: Now Harper Lee is seen slowly picking Sheridan Muller back up to her feet, before starting to attempt to lift her up on her shoulders, but Sheridan keeps resisting and reversing! Harper Lee though still does not give up whatsoever, but now Sheridan starts feeling like she’s had enough– AND SHE SUDDENLY NAILS HARPER LEE WITH AN ELBOW STRAIGHT INTO THE TOP OF THE HEAD! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! SHERIDAN MULLER KEEPS STRIKING HARPER LEE WITH THOSE ELBOW STRIKES, WHICH EVENTUALLY LEADS TO HARPER LEE GIVING UP AND SIMPLY FORGETTING ABOUT WHAT SHE HAS IN MIND, BUT THAT IS ALL FOR SHER TO DROP HER DOWN WITH A SIDE SLAM! SIDE SLAM BY SHERIDAN MULLER! THE SIDE SLAM CONNECTS AND PLANTS HARPER LEE INTO THE RING MAT! AND SHERIDAN GOES FOR THE COVER! SHE HOOKS THE LEG OF LEE!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWW-
Persephone: YEAH, *THAT* IS WHAT I WOULD CALL AWESOMENESS! HARPER LEE JUST FORCED THE SHOULDER UP FROM THE MAT AND THIS MEANS THAT WE STILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS MATCHUP BECAUSE IT SIMPLY IS NOT OVER YET! It’s awesome 🙂! And as we can see right here, Sheridan Muller gets on Harper Lee in anger, BEFORE NAILING HER WITH A HUGE FOREARM STRIKE RIGHT INTO THE FOREHEAD! ANOTHER FOREARM STRIKE! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND NOW SHERIDAN GRABS HARPER PICKING HER UP TO HER FEET, BEFORE TOSSING HER OUT OF THE RING!
Stew-O: BUT HARPER REVERSES, THE COUNTER BY HARPER LEE! HARPER LEE IS ABLE TO COUNTER AS SHE TOSSES SHERIDAN OUT OF THE RING HERSELF AS SHERIDAN FALLS OUT OF THE RING INTO THE RINGSIDE AREA, CRASHING INTO THE BARRICADE JUST BARELY STANDING WHILE LEANING AGAINST IT! HARPER LEE TURNS AROUND WITH A HUGE GRIN ON HER FACE, ONLY TO SEE NOTHING BUT MADISON KALINE SLOWLY RECOVERING IN A BARELY STANDING AGAINST THE ROPES POSITION! WHICH QUICKLY MAKES HER REBOUND OFF THE ROPES, AND POWERFULLY SHOVE THE EAW HALL OF FAMER OUT OF THE RING WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE OVER THE TOP ROPE WHICH SENDS HER STUMBLING AGAINST THE BARRICADE OF THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RINGSIDE AREA ! HARPER LEE IS SEEN STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MIDDLE OF THE RING ALONE STARING AT BOTH WOMEN WITH A FACIAL EXPRESSION THAT SHOWS NOTHING BUT AN INTENTION TO DO SOMETHING CRAZY RIGHT NOW! HARPER LEE WAS JUST ABLE TO REGAIN FULL CONTROL!
Gavin Kirkland: OH, IS HARPER LEE REALLY ABOUT TO DO THIS? ARE THE EXPECTATIONS I HAVE RIGHT NOW ABOUT TO COME TRUE :krabs:? OH NO, LOOKS LIKE THE ANSWER IS UNFORTUNATELY THE YES, THIS IS INSANITY! HARPER LEE JUST DECIDED TO GO ALL OUT AND RISK IT ALL FOR THIS WIN AS SHE REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES, BEFORE NAILING SHERIDAN MULLER WITH A SUICIDE DIVE! WHAT A MANEUVER BY HARPER LEE! AND NOW HARPER ROLLS BACK IN THE RING AS SHE REBOUNDS YET AGAIN BUT IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, NAILING MADISON KALINE WITH A SUICIDE DIVE! THE CROWD GOES WILD IN REACTION TO THE INSANITY HARPER LEE IS HELPING THEM WITNESS RIGHT NOW, AND HARPER IN REACTION DOES NOT EVEN SLOW DOWN IN THE SLIGHTEST AS SHE ROLLS BACK IN THE RING, RUNNING OFF THE ROPES YET AGAIN, AND CONNECTING WITH A SECOND SUICIDE DIVE TO SHERIDAN MULLER WHO FALLS DOWN THE FLOOR THIS TIME! AND HARPER THEN QUICKLY GETS BACK UP TO HER FEET AS SHE ROLLS BACK IN THE RING AND ONCE AGAIN REBOUNDS, AND ANOTHER SUICIDE DIVE TO MADISON KALINE! WHAT A MANEUVER BY HARPER LEE! WHAT A SEQUENCE! WHAT A HUGE DISPLAY OF ATHLETICISM AND INTELLIGENCE BY THE FORMER UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION HERE!
Stew-O: WHAT WE DIDN’T SEE IN LITERALLY THE LAST MOMENT THOUGH, IS THE REVERSAL BY MADISON KALINE! WOW! WHAT A REVERSAL! WHAT A COUNTER! MADISON KALINE JUST COUNTERED THAT LAST SUICIDE DIVE BY HARPER HARPER LEE WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE IN MID AIR AND HARPER LEE FALLS DOWN THE FLOOR! AND NOW MADISON GRABS HARPER AS SHE SLAMS HER HEAD INTO THE RING APRON KEEPING HER IMBALANCED, BEFORE ROLLING HER BACK IN THE RING! HARPER LEE IS NOW A PASSED TEST AS THE EAW HALL OF FAMER’S ATTENTION COMPLETELY SHIFTS TO SHERIDAN MULLER WHO’S SEEN SLOWLY TRYING TO RECOVER, AS SHE QUICKLY RUNS TO THE PLACE SHERIDAN IS AT BEFORE GRABBING HER, AND THEN TOSSING HER INTO THE BARRICADE AS SHERIDAN HOLDS HER RIBS IN UTTER PAIN! AND NOW MADISON GRABS HER BEFORE GETTING HER IN PLACEMENT UNDER A SEATED POSITION ON THE RING APRON, AND SHE BACKS OFF… DRIVE BY KICK!!!! DRIVE BY KICK BY MADISON KALINE FORCEFULLY SENDS SHERIDAN MULLER BACK INSIDE THE RING AS BOTH HARPER AND SHERIDAN ARE LAID OUT INSIDE THE RING, AND MADISON ROLLS BACK IN THE RING AS SHE SHOWS OFF TO NOTHING IN REACTION BUT A RAIN OF BOOS POURING DOWN ON HER FROM THE AUDIENCE!
Gavin Kirkland: As we were just able to witness, everyone, EAW Hall of Famer Madison Kaline just made one hell of a comeback in this matchup, ultimately regaining full control over it in the process! BOTH Harper Lee and Sheridan Muller are now laid out in the center of the ring as it’s Harper Lee who starts showing any signs of life first slowly trying to get back up to her feet, BUT MADISON KALINE WILLINGLY LOOKS TO NOT EVEN GIVE HER ANY CHANCE TO DO SO EITHER, AS SHE QUICKLY RUNS OFF THE ROPES REBOUNDING, BEFORE SPRINGBOARDING OFF OF THEM, AND CONNECTING WITH THE TORNADO DDT!! TORNADO DDT BY THE EAW HALL OF FAMER PLANTS THE HEAD OF THE FORMER UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION DOWN TO THE CANVAS, AND MADISON KALINE ROLLS HARPER AROUND ONTO HER BACK, HOOKING THE LEG! THE COVER! THE COVER BY MADISON KALINE ON HARPER LEE!
OOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Persephone: KICK OUT BY HARPER LEE! THIS MATCH STAYS ALIVE, WHICH MEANS MORE AWESOMENESS TO WITNESS! I’M HAPPY! MADISON KALINE NOW GETS RIGHT BACK UP TO HER FEET AS SHE STARES DOWN AT THE GROUNDED SHERIDAN MULLER WHO’S STILL YET TO EVEN START RECOVERING, BEFORE QUICKLY RUNNING OFF THE ROPES AND REBOUNDING, SPRINGBOARDING OFF OF THEM IN THE PROCESS, AND FINALLY CONNECTING WITH THE LIONSAULT! THE LIONSAULT BY MADISON KALINE TO SHERIDAN MULLER CONNECTS AND THAT MIGHT HAVE JUST BEEN ABLE TO KNOCK OFF A GROUNDED SHERIDAN MULLER AND SECURE MADISON KALINE THE WIN! AND NOW MADISON KALINE LAYS DOWN ON SHERIDAN FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT! THE COVER BY DYNASTY’S MADISON KALINE!
OOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Stew-O: AND IT’S SHERIDAN MULLER WHO’S ABLE TO KICK OUT THIS TIME! MADISON KALINE TRIED HER LUCK ON HARPER LEE A FEW MOMENTS AGO AND ON SHERIDAN MULLER JUST A SECOND AGO, BUT NEITHER ALLOWED IT TO WORK OUT! MADISON KALINE GIVES NOTHING IN REACTION TO THIS BUT A HYSTERICAL SMIRK, WHAT COULD SHE BE LOOKING FOR TO END THIS RIGHT NOW? I GUESS WE’RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT! MADISON KALINE QUICKLY CLIMBS HER WAY UP TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, BEFORE STARTING TO BALANCE HERSELF AND… DIVING ELBOW DROP RIGHT ONTO SHERIDAN MULLER! THE DIVING ELBOW DROP CONNECTS AND NAILS THE FORMER UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPION! WHAT A MANEUVER BY MADISON KALINE!
Gavin Kirkland: Both Madison Kaline and Harper Lee are laid out on the canvas right now, but who the EAW Hall of Famer chooses to go after is Sheridan Muller, Madison Kaline chooses to inflict all the pain and let out all the anger on Sheridan Muller! Madison Kaline grabs Sheridan Muller picking him right back up to her feet– BUT MULLER PUSHES HER OFF GIVING HERSELF A CHANCE TO RECOVER! BUT MADISON KALINE USES THAT IN HER ADVANTAGE AS SHE TAKES THE FORCE TO REBOUND, BEFORE NAILING SHERIDAN MULLER WITH A SPEAR! SPEAR! WHAT A MOVE— WAIT, NO! SHERIDAN MULLER LEAPS UP ESCAPING AND SAVING HERSELF AS MADISON GOES CRASHING INTO THE CORNER!
Stew-O: WHAT A REVERSAL BY SHERIDAN MULLER, WHAT A COUNTER! SHERIDAN MULLER WAS JUST ABLE TO SAVE HERSELF AS MADISON KALINE WENT CRASHING INTO THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE IN FULL SPEED, AND SHE TURNS AROUND COMPLETELY WOOZY AND IMBALANCED, WHICH GIVES SHERIDAN MULLER THE CHANCE TO LIFT HER UP ON HER SHOULDERS IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY! I AM SURE THAT MADISON KALINE IS IN A POSITION YOU WOULDN’T EVER WISH TO BE IN RIGHT NOW! MADISON KALINE HAS NOWHERE TO GO, MADISON KALINE IS HELPLESS— WAIT, HARPER LEE IS ALREADY FULLY BACK UP ON HER FEET AS SHE RUNS AT SHERIDAN MULLER, NAILING HER WITH A-
Gavin Kirkland: SHERIDAN MULLER – WHILE STILL HAVING MADISON KALINE UP ON HER SHOULDERS – MANAGES TO DUCK UNDERNEATH THE ATTACK ATTEMPT BY HARPER LEE, AS HARPER LEE TURNS AROUND, BUT THAT IS ONLY FOR SHERIDAN MULLER TO LIFT HER UP ON HER SHOULDERS IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY AS WELL, ON TOP OF MADISON! ARE YOU FUC-(BLEEP) KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW? THIS IS BEYOND REAL, THIS IS INSANITY, SHERIDAN MULLER IS NO HUMAN BEING AT THIS POINT! SHERIDAN MULLER HAS *BOTH* HARPER LEE AND MADISON KALINE UP ON HER SHOULDERS, THIS IS SURREAL! AND NOW SHERIDAN TAKES A FEW STEPS FORWARD BEFORE… DROPPING BOTH WOMEN DOWN WITH A DOUBLE SAMAOAN DROP!!! DOUBLE SAMOAN DROP TO SHERIDAN MULLER AND MADISON KALINE!!!! WOW!!!! JUST WOW!!! WHAT A MANUEVER BY THE FORMER VIXENS CHAMPION!!! DOUBLE SAMOAN DROP TO HARPER LEE AND MADISON KALINE CONNECTS AND ALL THREE WOMEN ARE DOWN!!!
Persephone: Not for long, though, as Sheridan Muller is able to get back up to her feet, and pick Madison Kaline back up as well— BUT THE EAW HALL OF FAMER, NO MATTER HOW HURT SHE IS, SUDDENLY NAILS HER WITH A HUGE FOREARM SMASH RIGHT TO THE SKULL! SHERIDAN MULLER GETS FAZED A BIT, BUT SHE THEN ANSWERS WITH A HUGE RIGHT HOOK STRAIGHT INTO THE CHIN! AND NOW BOTH WOMEN START TRADING STRIKES WITH ONE ANOTHER, BUT LOOK, THAT IS SHOWDOWN’S HARPER LEE WHO TOOK THIS CHANCE TO RECOVER AS SHE’S ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, AND I AM SURE THAT NEITHER WOMAN REALIZES WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW! HARPER LEE BALANCES HERSELF UP THERE ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, BEFORE TAKING HER SHOT, AND NAILING BOTH WOMEN WITH A DIVING MISSLE DROPKICK! BOTH SHERIDAN MULLER AND HARPER LEE FALL DOWN THE RING MAT!
Stew-O: LOOKS LIKE SHE STILL ISN’T DONE WHATSOEVER, SHE ISN’T DONE! HARPER LEE THEN ROLLS OUT OF THE RING INTO THE APRON AS SHE STARTS CHARGING AT MADISON KALINE TO GET BACK UP TO HER FEET, WHAT COULD THE FORMER UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION BE THINKING OF RIGHT NOW?! NONETHELESS, THE EAW HALL OF FAMER STARTS SLOWLY USING THE ROPES TO GET BACK UP TO HER FEET, JUST BARELY I MIGHT ADD, BUT THAT IS ALL FOR HARPER LEE TO LAUNCH THE ASSAULT SHE INITIALLY PLANNED TO LAUNCH, AS SHE ABSOLUTELY NAILS MADISON KALINE, TAKING HER DOWN WITH A SLINGSHOT CUTTER!!! SLINGSHOT CUTTER BY HARPER LEE!! WHAT A MANEUVER BY THE FORMER UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION!!! MADISON KALINE LAYS DOWN ON THE MAT NOT MOVING, AND HARPER LEE HOOKS BOTH LEGS FOR THE COVER! THE COVER BY HARPER LEE ON THE EAW HALL OF FAMER!
OOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Gavin Kirkland: SHERIDAN MULLER DIVES FROM OUT OF NOWHERE, BREAKING UP THE PIN AS SHE NAILS HARPER LEE WITH A HUGE JUMPING DOUBLE AXE HANDLE FROM A SEATED POSITION ON THE RING MAT! GOOD ACTION BY MULLER! AND NOW SHERIDAN QUICKLY SHOOTS BACK UP TO HER FEET AS SHE GRABS HARPER LEE, BEFORE TOSSING HER OUT OF THE RING! HARPER GOES CRASHING INTO THE FLOOR AT RINGSIDE, BUT SHERIDAN WASTES NO TIME FOLLOWING THAT HOWEVER, AS SHE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING HERSELF FOLLOWING HARPER LEE, AND TAKING HER DOWN WITH A HUGE BIG BOOT!! HARPER LEE WAS BARELY STANDING UP ON HER FEET THANKS TO THE BARRICADE, BUT SHERIDAN MULLER DIDN’T ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN EITHER, AS HARPER LEE IS NOW DOWN!
Stew-O: WHICH SHERIDAN MULLER APPARENTLY LOOKS TO KEEP AS THE ONLY STATE HARPER CAN PHYSICALLY BEAR WITH! SHERIDAN MULLER GRABS HARPER LEE PICKING HER RIGHT BACK UP TO HER FEET, BEFORE TOSSING HER STRAIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE! OUCH, I CAN CONFIRM THAT THIS HURT! AND SHERIDAN THEN GRABS HARPER LEE, AND SHE TOSSES HER INTO THE RING POST– BUT HARPER LEE WITH THE COUNTER, AS SHE TOSSES SHERIDAN INTO THE RING POST HERSELF! SHERIDAN’S SPINE CRASHES INTO THE RING POST AS SHE’S NOW IN A POSITION LEANING AGAINST IT, BUT HARPER TAKES ADVANTAGE AS SHE TAKES A SECOND TO CHARGE, BEFORE NAILING SHERIDAN MULLER WITH A HELLUVA KICK INTO THE RING POST! WHAT A MANEUVER BY HARPER LEE!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT WAS A BRUTAL ACTION RIGHT HERE BY THE FORMER UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION AS SHERIDAN IS NOW DOWN HOLDING HER HEAD IN UTTER PAIN, BUT HARPER DOESN’T SLOW DOWN IN THE SLIGHTEST LET ALONE STOP AS SHE NOW GRABS SHERIDAN MULLER, DRAGGING HER TOWARDS… OUR TABLE! APPARENTLY, HARPER LEE’S NEXT STEP INCLUDES PUTTING SHERIDAN MULLER THROUGH THE ANNOUNCER’S TABLE AS SHE PICKS HER UP AND PLACES HER OVER IT, BUT SHERIDAN BLOWS ALL THOSE PLANS TO SMOKE AS SHE COUNTERS, SLAMMING HARPER’S HEAD OVER THE TABLE, AND PLACING HER UP ON IT HERSELF!
Persephone: THE WORST PART ABOUT ALL OF THIS IS THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OUR TABLE IS ABOUT TO GET SACRIFICED, THOUGH :noah:! BUT IT GIVES SHERIDAN AN ADVANTAGE IN THIS MATCH IF IT GOES AS SHE PLANNED WHICH MEANS VOLTAGE LIVES, SO I’M NOT REALLY OPPOSED TO WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AS LONG AS IT ALL GOES ACCORDING TO PLAN :drakelike:! SHERIDAN MULLER GETS ON THE ANNOUNCER’S TABLE AS SHE PICKS HARPER LEE UP TO HER FEET, BEFORE NAILING HER WITH A KICK STRAIGHT INTO THE GUT, AND LIFTING HER UP ON HER SHOULDERS IN THE POSITION FOR A POWERBOMB! SHERIDAN MULLER LOOKS TO POWERBOMB HARPER LEE THROUGH THE TABLE, OMG! AND NOW SHE GOES FOR IT INDEED! SHERIDAN MULLER WITH A–
(Suddenly…)
Gavin Kirkland: SPEAR!!!! SPEAR BY MADISON KALINE TO SHERIDAN MULLER FROM OUT OF NOWHERE!!! SHERIDAN MULLER HAD HARPER LEE IN THE POSITION TO POWERBOMB HER THROUGH THE TABLE, BUT MADISON KALINE GOT HERSELF INVOLVED, MADE ONE HECK OF A COMEBACK REJOINING THE PARTY, AND SHE CAUGHT SHERIDAN MULLER WITH WHAT I BET SHE DID NOT EXPECT! SPEAR TO SHERIDAN MULLER THROUGH THE ANNOUNCER’S TABLE, MADISON KALINE JUST SPEARED SHERIDAN MULLER WHEN SHE WAS ABOUT TO LAY OUT HARPER, WHAT A COMEBACK!!! THE EAW HALL OF FAMER IS ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL RIGHT HERE!! WHAT A MOVE!!
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 THIS IS AWESOME! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 THIS IS AWESOME! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 THIS IS AWESOME! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Persephone: NO!!!
Stew-O: YES!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: :lupe: Although all three women are laid out right now after such a crazy maneuver by Madison Kaline, Maddie is obviously the first to start recovering as she quickly gets back up to her feet using the ring apron, before completely shifting her attention to Sheridan Muller as she picks her up to her feet, and rolls her back inside the ring! Madison now quickly gets on the ring apron, before starting to climb her way up to the top turnbuckle, and… she reaches her destination! Sheridan Muller is still down trying to stir, but the pain she was put through is just too much! Maddie balances herself a bit, before taking her shot diving high in the air, and… ‘MADDIE BOMB!!!!’ ‘MADDIE BOMB!!!’ MADISON KALINE COMPLETELY NAILS SHERIDAN MULLER AS TAKES HER OUT WITH THE ‘MADDIE BOMB!!!’ WHAT A MANEUVER BY MADISON KALINE, WHAT A MOVE!!! THE MOONSAULT CONNECTS ON SHERIDAN MULLER, THE MOONSAULT CONNECTS AND THIS MIGHT BE IT!!! MADISON KALINE HOOKS THE LEG, AND THATS THE COVER!! THE COVER BY THE EAW HALL OF FAMER!!!
OOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTHHHH-
Stew-O: DIVING MOONSAULT OF HARPER’S OWN THIS TIME FROM ABSOLUTELY OUT OF NOWHERE BREAKS UP THE PIN, HARPER LEE BREAKS UP THE PIN AND KEEPS THIS MATCHUP ALIVE!!! MADISON KALINE IS HURT RIGHT NOW AFTER THAT VICIOUS DIVING MOONSAULT BY HARPER LEE CONNECTED ON HER TO BREAK UP HER PINFALL ATTEMPT, AND NOW HARPER LEE IS BACK UP TO HER FEET AS SHE GRABS MADISON KALINE, PLACING HER IN A SEATED POSITION WITH A HUGE SINISTER SMIRK ON HER FACE!!
(Harper Lee starts to hysterically laughing it off at Madison Kaline as she grabs a hold of her with a huge evil smirk which only keeps growing on her face, as the EAW Hall of Famer right now is apparently helpless…. Harper Lee stares at Madison Kaline enjoying the fact that she can’t help out, before…)
(**SLAP!**)
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER LEE WITH A SLAP ACROSS THE FACE OF MADISON KALINE! DANG! THE DISPLAY OF DISRESPECT RIGHT HERE BY HARPER LEE!
Harper Lee: (off-mic) YOU’RE A FAILURE, MADISON!
(**SLAP!**)
Harper Lee: (off-mic) YOU’RE A DISGRACE!
(**SLAP!**)
Harper Lee: (off-mic) YOU MADE ALL OF YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE WOMEN’S WRESTLING ABSOLUTELY MEANINGLESS!
(**SLAP!**)
Harper Lee: (off-mic) YOU’RE A SO-CALLED ‘HALL OF FAMER’ WHOSE RING SHOULD BE TAKEN BACK!
(**SLAP!**)
Harper Lee: (off-mic) AND NOW… YOU GO TO YOUR MAKER!
Persephone: AND HARPER LEE WITH THE ‘DRAGON FIST!!!’ ‘DRAGON FIST’ BY HARPER LEE, THE ‘DRAGON FIST TO THE EAW HALL OF FAMER!!! THE ‘DRAGON FIST’ BY HARPER LEE KNOCKS DOWN MADISON KALINE!! THE RIGHT HOOK CONNECTS AND MADISON KALINE IS KNOCKED DOWN, PERHAPS FOR GOOD! COME ON, SHER, GET UP, THE WIN MIGHT JUST BE TAKEN AWAY FROM VOLTAGE RIGHT NOW! HARPER LEE HOWEVER DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG! THE COVER BY HARPER LEE ON MADISON KALINE! THE COVER BY HARPER LEE!
OOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TTTTTTHH-
Stew-O: THANKS TO NONE OTHER THAN SHERIDAN MULLER, MADISON KALINE SURVIVES, AS THIS MATCH CONTINUES! MADISON KALINE BREAKS UP THE PIN, AHD THIS MATCH STAYS ALIVE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! SHERIDAN MULLER BREAKS UP THE PINFALL, AS SHE THEN GRABS MADISON KALINE PICKING HER UP TO HER FEET, AND TOSSING HER INTO THE CORNER AS MADDIE CRASHES INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! I AM NOT SURE IF THIS WILL KEEP MADISON KALINE OUT OF THE EQUATION AS LONG AS SHERIDAN WOULD NEED, BUT SHE IS STILL TRYING NONETHELESS! SHERIDAN MULLER GRABS HARPER LEE PICKING HER UP TO HER FEET, BEFORE DROPPING HER BACK DOWN WITH A PUMPHANDLE URANAGE!!! PUMPHANDLE URANAGE CONNECTS ON HARPER LEE, THAT IS SHERIDAN MULLER’S SIGNATURE MOVE!! THE PUMPHANDLE URANAGE CONNECTS AS HARPER LEE IS SENT BACK DOWN!! AND SHERIDAN MULLER QUICKLY HOOKS BOTH LEGS, THE COVER!
OOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Gavin Kirkland: STOMP TO THE SPINE OF SHERIDAN MULLER BY MADISON KALINE, MADISON KALINE JUST BROKE UP THE COVER, AND THIS MATCH STAYS ALIVE! HOW ARE ALL THREE OF THESE WOMEN STILL DOING THIS? APPARENTLY, THE WIN AND THE BRAGGING RIGHTS ARE WHAT THEY ARE ALL DEAD SET ON GETTING! MADISON KALINE GRABS SHERIDAN MULLER PICKING HER BACK UP TO HER FEET— BUT MULLER SUDDENLY WITH AN UPPERCUT STRAIGHT INTO THE JAW OF THE HALL OF FAMER AS SHERIDAN MULLER GOES REBOUNDING OFF THE ROPES…… ‘AFTERLIFE!!!!’ ‘AFTERLIFE!!!!’ ‘AFTERLIFE’ TO SHERIDAN MULLER, MADISON KALINE WITH THE ‘AFTERLIFE!!!’ THE CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL BY MADISON KALINE CONNECTS AND KNOCKS OFF SHERIDAN MULLER AS SHE GOES FLIPPING INSIDE OUT! AND NOW MADISON KALINE DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER, HOOKING BOTH LEGS!! THE COVER!! THIS HAS GOTTA BE IT!

THE ARM-TRAPPED CURB STOMP CONNECTS, AND MADISON KALINE IS PROBABLY DOWN AND OUT FOR GOOD! WHAT A MANEUVER BY HARPER LEE! HARPER LEE JUST BROKE UP THE PIN, AND SHE DID WITH THE ARM-TRAPPED CURB STOMP TO THE EAW HALL OF FAMER, PROBABLY SECURING HERSELF THE WIN HERE TONIGHT! SHERIDAN MULLER IS ALSO OUT, AND NOW HARPER LEE ROLLS MADISON ONTO HER BACK, AND LAYS DOWN ON HER FOR THE COVER!! THE COVER BY HARPER LEE!! THAT’S IT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THAT’S THE END RIGHT HERE! GOODNIGHT, MADDIE!

Gavin Kirkland: NO, DAMNIT! HOW IN THE HECK?! MADISON KALINE WAS JUST ABLE TO BARELY GET THE SHOULDER UP FROM THE MAT, AND SHE STAYS ALIVE! HARPER LEE IS IN SHOCK, AND SO ARE ALL OF US, BUT THAT NONETHELESS IS WHAT HAPPENED! MADISON KALINE JUST STAYED ALIVE! HARPER LEE IS IN DISBELIEF! BUT NOW SHE GETS BACK UP TO HER FEET, BEFORE STOMPING DOWN ON SHERIDAN MULLER, AND PICKING HER RIGHT BACK UP TO HER FEET–
Persephone: SHERIDAN ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH A BRUTAL KNEE STRIKE STRAIGHT INTO THE ABDOMEN AREA, THAT WAS RUTHLESS BY SHER RIGHT HERE! HARPER LEE IS ABSOLUTELY FAZED AND IMBALANCED, AND NOW SHERIDAN TAKES THIS CHANCE AS SHE TURNS HARPER AROUND WHO DOESN’T EVEN TRY TO RESIST OR COUNTER IN THE SLIGHTEST, BEFORE DROPPING HER DOWN WITH THE ‘SHERPLEX!!!’ ‘SHERPLEX’ BY SHERIDAN!!! WHAT A MANEUVER THAT WAS, WHAT A MOVE!!! SHERIDAN MULLER WITH THE ‘SHERPLEX’ TO HARPER LEE!!! THE BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX CONNECTS, AND ABSOLUTELY NAILS HARPER LEE, PROBABLY KNOCKING HER OUT OF THIS CONTEST FOR GOOD!! HARPER LEE LAYS THERE IN UTTER AGONY CLEARLY UNABLE TO HAVE ANY MORE AS SHE PROBABLY MIGHT NOT EVEN BE FULLY CONSCIOUS RIGHT NOW AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TO BEGIN WITH AND MADISON IS LAID OUT AS WELL! THIS IS SHERIDAN MULLER’S CHANCE!
Stew-O: IT ABSOLUTELY IS, BUT THE WORST PART ABOUT THIS IS THAT IT MIGHT PROBABLY BE AT THE EXPENSE OF DYNASTY :noah! SHERIDAN MULLER NOW GRABS THE ALREADY KNOCKED OFF MADISON KALINE AS SHE PICKS HER UP TO HER FEET, GRABBING A HOLD OF HER ARM, AND PUSHING HER FORWARD A BIT, AND WE KNOW WHAT’S COMING! THAT IS ALL BEFORE SHE DROPS HER DOWN WITH THE ‘ENDLESS FANTASIES!!!!’ ‘ENDLESS FANTASIES’ BY SHERIDAN MULLER, THIS MUST BE IT!!! WOW!! JUST WOW!!

Gavin Kirkland: AND NOW SHERIDAN GRABS HARPER LEE, BEFORE PICKING HER BACK UP TO HER FEET, BUT HARPER ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH A SLAP ACROSS THE FACE OF SHERIDAN MULLER! THE SLAP BY HARPER LEE ACROSS THE FACE OF SHERIDAN MULLER AS SHERIDAN HOLDS HER MOUTH BEFORE LOOKING BACK AT HER IN TOTAL ANGER, AND NAILING HER WITH A BRUTAL UPPERCUT! HARPER TAKES THAT MOVE FORCEFULLY BACKING OFF A BIT, BEFORE IMMEDIATELY NAILING SHERIDAN MULLER WITH A SUPERKICK WHICH FORCES HER TO GO OFF THE ROPES REBOUNDING— MEETING HARPER WITH A BIG BOOT! THE BIG BOOT BY SHERIDAN MULLER TAKES HARPER DOWN!
Stew-O: LOOKS LIKE SHERIDAN MULLER IS DEAD SET ON THIS VICTORY, WHICH IS WHAT IS KEEPING HER ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THINGS! SHERIDAN MULLER PICKS HARPER LEE BACK UP TO HER FEET, BEFORE GRABBING HER ARM AND PUSHING HER FORWARD A LITTLE, AND THE ‘ENDLESS FANTASIES’ TO HARPER LEE THIS TIME!! THE ‘ENDLESS FANTASIES’ BY SHER!! THE RIPCORD LARIAT CONNECTS, AND HARPER LEE IS DOWN AND OUT! SHERIDAN MULLER DROPS ON HER KNEES, BEFORE HOOKING ONE LEG FOR THE COVER!! THIS IS IT!! THIS IS IT!!

OOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!

…
…
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Amerika’ blasts through the speakers once again to a loud negative reception from the audience as Sheridan Muller rolls off of Harper Lee’s prone body with a huge smirk on her face; a smirk which the facial expression it stands for displays a huge amount of happiness, tire, and confidence. Sheridan, who doesn’t even look shocked as a matter of fact, instead proud, gets helped up to her feet by the referee, who holds her arm up in victory, thus acknowledging her as the winner of this contest.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… HERE IS YOUR WINNER… SHEEEEERIIIIDAAAAAAAN MUUUUULEEEERRRRRRRRR!!!!
Persephone: WOOOOOOOO! HAHAHA! VOLTAGE LIVES! SHER WINS! THAT IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT! And on a different thought, I am actually sad this match ended because it was so enjoyable and I wish I could see more of it, but it is what it is! 🤷♀️
Gavin Kirkland: Kween lost :mjcry:. But well, that was one heck of a contest. Literally each and every one of these women went all out in this one, putting it ALL on the line which resulted in us being able to witness some memorable moments that will last a lifetime, but in the end, we all knew that only one will win, and that happened to be Sheridan Muller. Sheridan proves to be able to move on from what happened towards the end of 2022 and from her Prescription run with Dr. Bethany Blue, and honestly, if she keeps going at that rate, I wouldn’t be surprised to see her strike gold at some point.
Stew-O: Yeah, but nonetheless, let’s take nothing away from Harper Lee and Madison Kaline! Both of these women came out here and literally did everything they could like warriors, and even though they came so close, Sheridan Muller proved to be the individual who wanted it more all along. For Harper Lee, I’m sure that this is anything but the end, as a lot of potential is expected from her newly-formed team along with Holly Arrow, and as for Madison Kaline? I’m sure that she will keep doing great things on Friday Night Dynasty like she has honestly been the entirety of this season so far, but all in all, the woman this night specifically belongs to for the meantime is Sheridan Muller; congratulations to her!
(The final shot is seen as Sheridan Muller is seen on the top rope, celebrating her well-earned victory with a huge smirk on her face, meanwhile Madison Kaline is seen in a seated position against the barricade at ringside, looking totally passed off with the crushing loss she was just handed and finally, a semi-conscious Harper Lee is seen laying down on the canvas inside the ring trying to stir. From there, King of Elite fades elsewhere.)
(Backstage…..
Inside the Rogers Arena box suite, the camera pans in and sees a lot of the Showdown Elitists that were not booked for the King of Elite Marquee Live Event. Stars such as Jack Ripley sporting a suit, Jon Kelton, Roberto de la Rosa and La Familia, Major Michael Scott Connor, Hans Grayson, Alex Myers, Lucas Johnson, Komatsu Ogawa, Drake Armstrong, Ashlynn Quinn and Harley Lewis amongst others. They are all dressed in suits and dinner dresses, personally invited by the Showdown General Manager, Kennedy Street who has set up an elaborate buffet and spread so that her roster members can enjoy the show and she can give promises that she will probably never keep. With her is Heidi Huxley. Kennedy is in a sparkling dinner dress and glass pumps. Sipping a glass of wine while comfortably watching the action.)
Kennedy Street: Kennie would have kicked him in the balls, honey.
Heidi Huxley: Who?
Kennedy Street: Myles of course, that caveman, treating Minerva like that. Minnie and I go back a long way when she first started in the business, hmmm…. Maybe I should talk to Captain Charisma about a little trade.
(Heidi’s eyes light up.)
Heidi Huxley: Now that sounds like a plan.
Kennedy Street: Sounds good on paper, then she turns around and does the same thing to me that every other twat here has done. But look at it this way, Showdown will be the premiere brand regardless. Now Heidi, tell me the truth here, doesn’t Kennie know how to hook up a spread, huh? Everyone is happy, they are drinking, eating…..
(Before she knows it, Roberto De La Rosa brings her a small plate with some goodies and more wine to pour.)
Roberto De La Rosa: Mi Mera Mera. Vino pata ti?
Kennedy Street: Oh, why thank you mi miel. I really appreciate this. Please continue to enjoy, after a successful night for Showdown, not thanks to Lexi and Harper Lee, what a bunch of losers, Kennie truly believes the rest of the night is going to be absolutely magical.
(Roberto nods and kisses her hand like a gentleman before he steps out. Jack Ripley now sits next to her.)
Kennedy Street: Do you see this Jack?
Jack Ripley: I should be wrestling tonight.
Kennedy Street: Yes, you should but what did Kennie tell you honey? Patience my friend and look at it this way, you are going to know when exactly that right opportunity is going to present itself. Stay focused, you know exactly what is expected and nothing will stand in your way, or anyone’s for that matter in this room or in the locker room.
Jack Ripley: It better.
(While Kennedy doesn’t like his tone of voice, she does understand his frustrations. Turning to him and offering him some Lobster Thermidor. Eat this, it will make you feel better, and you’ll be less ARRRGH…. And more…. Wooosah. You really need to lighten up honey and trust in Kennie.
Heidi Huxley: Kennedy has everyone’s best intentions, trust me.
Kennedy Street: Exactly…. And besides…..
(But before Kennedy could finish the sentence, the door opens to the suite, there is a little bit of ruckus as Kennedy quickly stands up and sees Ms. Extreme walk in and she doesn’t look happy.)
Kennedy Street: Really? You have a match coming up, why in the blue hell are you even in here, honey!?
Ms. Extreme: Because I know a snake when I see it. I have watched what you did to Donovan Duke and Adam Lucas already and I want to make sure that we make ourselves clear that tonight, there are no crooked referees, no fast counts, no slow counts, no little shenanigans that you and this little Disney cu…..
(She is quickly cut off)
Heidi Huxley: LANGUAGE!
(Rolling her eyes, Ms. Extreme knows that Kennedy Street is up to something no good, she can feel it in her bones, in the pit of her stomach. She is also worried about her allies such as Donovan Duke and Adam Lucas.)
Ms. Extreme: I know how this works, people like you love to abuse that power given to you, can’t help it, that is why people like me exist. I don’t care who you think you are, Kennedy, truth be told. You’re never going to do what is best for business, but what is best for Kennedy. I mean look at all this crap? This buffet with a cold Seafood bar and all these fixings. I mean you have cherries jubilee and bananas foster for crying out loud, all to kiss all their asses and get them on your side, right?
(Kennedy lets out a small chuckle before smiling in Ms. Extreme’s face.)
Kennedy Street: You’re lucky to even have a job, okay? Hurricane Hawk pity hired you on the spot because he knew that his time was coming to an end. Things could be so simple Camille, I mean seriously, all you have to do is embrace the vision of Disney and do the right business here on Showdown. Is that too much to ask? Not really, but it seems like you have this issue with authority and look honey, Kennie gets it, was a rebel too, still am but this is MY brand to manage now, and nothing pisses Kennie off more than insubordinate employees. You have two choices, leave and get ready for your match tonight which I will say is going to be one of the toughest in your career, or I will take it as a forfeit and I will suspend you.
(The people in the suite are quiet, the crowd can see what is happening and cheering. Ms. Extreme smiles and nods.)
Ms. Extreme: You’re right, absolutely right. I should be more respectful.
Kennedy Street: See, that is easy. How about some oysters?
(Kennedy offers Ms. Extreme some oysters when she takes them and then slowly pours them down Kennedy’s dress and cleavage as the General Manager stands there absolutely shocked, but doesn’t move. The two women stare each other down, Kennedy seething.)
Ms. Extreme: [BLEEP] Disney….. and [BLEEP] YOU.
(Without another word, Ms. Extreme walks out as Kennedy looks on, Heidi already has towels and napkins to wipe off the food that fell down her dress but Kennedy Instead storms out as the scene fades back to ringside as we see a long-view of the arena. Eventually, the next match graphic would play.)
(The crowd would let out a cheer as the camera pans over to Stephie Love.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL… and it is a TAG TEAM MATCH!!!!
(The crowd would let out another cheer, before ‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj ft Lil Wayne hits the speakers, and the crowd gets louder. Milli Banks’ graphics show up on the titantron. Milli Banks would step out, wearing a blue-and-red version of her regular body suit, as she poses on the stage. However, instead of going down, she would point directly at the titantron. Before long, her theme is replaced by ‘Good For Her’ by MOTHICA ft. emlyn, as the crowd bursts into even more cheers. Cameron Ella walks onto the stage, sporting the same color scheme as Milli Banks’ attire, clearly color coordinated, and perhaps even coordinated in general; before they pose together. Eventually, they would walk down the ramp, and head to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… the team of ‘The It Girl’ Milli Banks, and ‘The Serpent’ Cameron… Ella.. AVVAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
(The crowd cheers once more, as the two Elitists walk up the opposite steel steps. They enter the ring, and head to the top rope, as they do their individual poses. Eventually, though, their theme would fade out as it is replaced by ‘Hey Superstar’ by Madina Lake, and IMMEDIATELY the crowd would begin to spread their hate, a wave of boos flooding the Rogers Arena. Sierra Bradford steps out onto the stage, kneeling down and hitting her pose, fitted in a Bees-colored attire. ‘Hikarunara’ by Goose House would quickly replace it, as Mei Sasaki steps out from the curtains, dressed in the same color scheme as Sierra. She places a hand on her shoulder, before posing directly behind her, the two sporting smirks on their faces. Slowly, they walk down the ramp, keeping their eyes on their opponents.)
Stephie Love: Next… the team of Mei Sasaki and Sierra Bradford… THE QUEEEEN BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS!!!
(The crowd continues booing, as Sierra nor Mei really care. Instead, Sierra walks up the ramp, and Mei slides under the bottom rope, the two climbing onto the same turnbuckle as they pose together. As Mei’s theme fades out, the two begin to discuss their gameplan, before Sierra exits onto the apron, and Cameron does the same. Mei would warm up, doing the splits in her corner, before getting back to her feet, waiting for the bell to ring…)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And here we go, starting off this match is none other than Milli Banks and Mei Sasaki as the two have had a lot of history between each other! Cameron allowed Milli to head in first due to that history, but when it comes to The Queen Bees, I’m more than certain they want her out of the way, out of their hair; gone so they can move onto things that suit their agenda much more! But when it comes to Milli, she’s wanted this, she’s waited for this, and now she’s going to get this… AS SHE CHARGES FORWARD WITH PUNCHES!
Flannery McCoy: Mei Sasaki connects with her own, before she ducks, and begins to hit Milli with some forearm shots! She backs her off into the ropes, before turning around and looking to hit the opposite side- yet Milli charges forward and stops her dead in her tracks with a huge forearm shot directly to the head! Mei is stunned, as Milli looks to hit the opposite side of the ropes herself- but Mei catches her with a low kick to the knee! Milli is left balancing on one leg, as Mei charges up again-
Jake Mercer: STO BACKBREAKER BY MILLI! QUICKLY TRANSITIONS INTO A NECKBREAKER! THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TT-
Jake Mercer: Kick out from Mei, though! Milli’s first move of the match isn’t going to be enough to take her down, she’s gonna have to work a lot harder than that to take down Bae Sasaki! The Queen Bees are among the greatest in EAW right now, and there’s no doubt that they mean business! However, so does Milli, as she lifts Mei up and throws her straight into the corner! She’s looking to punish Mei Sasaki here, as she unloads with more strikes!
Stew-O: Milli connects with a punch to the head, before following up with a punch to the stomach, continuing the combination over and over as the crowd begins to get louder and louder; Mei Sasaki finally getting a chance to air out her grievances towards the Queen Bees! She believes if it wasn’t for them, she’d be Specialists Champion right now, and she does have a perfectly valid case to be made there! Milli Banks is looking to end this matchup here, as she lifts Mei up onto the top turnbuckle, and follows suit! This won’t end well here!
Flannery McCoy: Milli continues punching Mei in the head, before she reaches the very top turnbuckle, and looks to connect with a DDT on the top rope! :krabs:
Stew-O: But Mei wraps her legs tightly around the top turnbuckle, making sure she can’t be moved from her seated position! She connects with a punch to Milli’s stomach, before lifting her leg up… BAM! SHE PUSHES MILLI’S LEG FROM UNDERNEATH HER, AS MILLI DROPS DOWN FACE-FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! MEI SASAKI SLIDES OFF THE TURNBUCKLE ONTO THE APRON, AS MILLI IS HOLDING ONTO HER NOSE, KNEELING NEXT TO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE!
Jake Mercer: Mei Sasaki looks at Milli, before at Cameron… BEFORE CHARGING FORWARD AND KNOCKING CAMERON BACK WITH A HUGE RUNNING DROPKICK! CAMERON HITS THE RING POST, AS MEI SASAKI REBOUNDS TO HER FEET… TIGER FEINT KICK TO MILLI BANKS, SWINGING AROUND THE RING POST TO KICK MILLI IN THE HEAD!!!
Stew-O: Mei Sasaki is looking for a springboard here- BUT HERE COMES CAMERON! CHARGING FORWARD WITH A HUGE ‘WONDER WOMAN PUNCH’- NO! MEI SASAKI DODGES IT, DROPPING TO A KNEE ON THE APRON, AS CAMERON HITS THE TURNBUCKLES AGAIN! MEI RETURNS TO HER FEET, AND LOOKS TO HIT A SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK!
Jake Mercer: Milli Banks flies back towards the ropes, as Mei Sasaki recovers to her feet- what the??? Instead of following up with something, she tells the referee to get Cameron back into her corner?
Flannery McCoy: OH BUT LOOK! AS THE REFEREE IS DISTRACTED, SIERRA BRADFORD BEGINS TO GOUGE THE EYES OF MILLI BANKS! MEI SASAKI SCOOTS OVER, BEFORE STOMPING ON MILLI’S CHEST! THE TWO BEGIN TO LAY DOWN STRIKES ON MILLI, AND THE REFEREE JUST DOESN’T SEE IT! THIS IS DISGUSTING, SOMEBODY TELL THAT MAN TO TURN AROUND AND SEE WHAT THEY’RE DOING! THIS IS CHEAP!
Stew-O: But as Cameron points out what’s wrong, Sierra steps away, as Mei pulls Milli away from the ropes! He didn’t see a single thing that was happening, and The Queen Bees are going to get away with it! The crowd are raining down boos right here, as Mei Sasaki is soaking it all in, spreading her arms and posing down the hardcam with a smug look on her face! Milli Banks, meanwhile, is wincing on the ground, holding onto her stomach and her eyes, as she was pretty badly attacked just a few moments ago! Mei Sasaki turns around now to do even more damage…
Jake Mercer: Mei lifts Milli Banks up, looking to connect with a kick to the knee… which lands, as Milli goes knees-first into the ground, set up for the kick combo to the chest that Mei has been known to use here… and again, they begin to land! One to the chest, two to the chest, three, four, five; she is lighting Milli Banks up here with kicks that sound like shotgun blasts! I’m not sure how Milli is going to recover, as Mei Sasaki charges back, going for a roundhouse to the head… BAM!
Flannery McCoy: NO! IT DOESN’T LAND, AS MILLI BANKS JETS BACK AND ROLLS HER UP WITH A SCHOOLBOY HOLD!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHR-
Flannery McCoy: KICK OUT FROM MEI! THE TWO ELITISTS SCRURRY TO THEIR FEET; MEI SASAKI CONNECTS WITH A ‘DISINTEGRATION’ SPINNING HEEL KICK, HER FINISHING MOVE!
Stew-O: DUCKED! MILLI WITH A KICK TO THE KNEE, AS MEI FALLS TO THE ROPES! IT’S TIME…
Flannery McCoy: ‘YOU ARE NOT HER’!!! MILLI BANKS STEALS THE TIGER FEINT KICK- NO! MEI SASAKI CATCHES THE LEGS, AS SHE PULLS HER AWAY FROM THE ROPES! MILLI HOLDS ONTO THE TOP ROPE, TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF IT… BUT MEI SASAKI FLIPS HER ONTO HER FEET! ‘KITSUNE CRUSHER’!!! CRADLE BELLY-TO-BACK MAT SLAM!
Jake Mercer: FRANKENSTEINER INTO THE CORNER FROM MILLI! MEI LEANS AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES, BEFORE MILLI CHARGES FORWARD WITH A LEAPING FOREARM SMASH! HERE COMES CAMERON!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: CAMERON ENTERS THE RING, AS THEY DRAG MEI SASAKI TO THE CENTER OF IT! KICK TO THE GUT, BEFORE LIFTING HER INTO THE AIR… DOUBLE BRAINBUSTER IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! MEI SASAKI HAS BEEN WIPED OUT OF THIS MATCH, AND NOW CAMERON ELLA AVA SCURRIES INTO THE COVER! THIS COULD BE OVER HERE!
OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Jake Mercer: KICK OUT!
Flannery McCoy: Mei Sasaki is able to escape that situation, as Cameron Ella Ava uses her veteran’s awareness to lift Mei right off her shoulders by her hair, the second she kicks out! Cameron Ella Ava, connects with a chop, before pushing Mei into the ropes! Arm drag sends her crashing into the ground! Mei recovers though, as she charges forward… into another arm drag! Mei Sasaki gets back up, and throws a lariat… NO! Cameron Ella Ava ducks, and goes for the back suplex- But Mei flips out! Charges forward… CAUGHT WITH THE ALABAMA SLAM!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: BAM! CAMERON PLANTS MEI, BEFORE HOLDING ONTO HER LEGS! SHE ROLLS HER UP, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE ‘WONDER WOMAN PUNCH’!!! MEI SASAKI FALLS TO HER KNEES, BEFORE LOOKING TO CAPITALIZE… ‘GODDESS RISING’!!! STEP-UP AXE KICK TO MEI, AS SHE CONNECTS WITH HER FINISHING MOVE! COVER!
Stew-O: BUT WAIT! MEI ISN’T LEGAL! SHE TAGGED IN SIERRA AS SHE DOVE INTO THE ALABAMA SLAM, AS SIERRA COMES TO INTERRUPT THE FLOW OF THE MATCH! ‘MURDER IN COLOR’!!! 180 DEGREES FROG SPLASH CONNECTS, RIGHT INTO CAMERON ELLA AVA’S BACK! SIERRA SHOOTS THE HALF, AND ENTERS THE LATERAL PRESS!
OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTT-
Stew-O: CAMERON ELLA AVA IS ABLE TO GET THE SHOULDER UP IN THE NICK OF TIME, BUT THE QUEEN BEES ALMOST STOLE IT WITH THEIR PHENOMENAL IN-RING COMMUNICATION! This is what you should be expecting from a team like this, no matter how amazing you are, experienced you are, well decorated you are in this ring? A tag team like The Queen Bees are always going to pick their spots, and make sure they have the advantage! If it were any lesser team, Mei would have been out of it ready for the pin, but not Queen Bees!
Flannery McCoy: And here Sierra Bradford looks to pick the pieces that she made, as she picks up Cameron, and throws her into the ropes… CONNECTING WITH A HUGE SCORPION KICK TO THE HEAD! I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED IF THAT GAVE CAMERON A CONCUSSION WITH HOW HARD HER HEEL HIT HER DOME! CAMERON LOOKS TO BE OUT OF IT, AS SIERRA BRADFORD CHARGES THE ROPES… ‘SEROTONIN’!! CORNER SPRINGBOARD ENZUIGIRI KICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD, AND CAMERON ELLA AVA CRUMPLES FACE-FIRST INTO THE GROUND, ABSOLUTELY OUT OF IT! SIERRA ENTERS YET ANOTHER COVER, THIS COULD BE OVER HERE!
OOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
TTTT-
Stew-O: BUT A KICK OUT AGAIN!
Jake Mercer: Sierra utilizing a brutal offensive move there, something akin to what you’d see over in Japan! You know, I saw this one wrestler…
Flannery McCoy: Oh brother.
Jake Mercer:..I believe his name was Ichigo D. Yeager Guts Kenpachi Cruz… he uses a very similar move over in the land of the rising sun, to great success! I have no doubt that-
Stew-O: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/569475698050465832/1071466856126353419/ssstwitter.com_1675517692775_Trim.mp4
Flannery McCoy: Anyway, Sierra Bradford is not taking that kick-out too lightly, as she throws Cameron into what WOULD be her corner had Mei not been taken out earlier, before lifting her up onto the top rope! Cameron Ella Ava is not in a great spot here, and Sierra knows it! She climbs up to the top rope behind her, looking to wear her down here, and she’s obviously plotting her downfall! She begins to hit clubbing forearm smashes onto her back, over and over, making sure that she isn’t fit to fight back! Sierra grabs her by the head and places her in a front facelock, looking for a superplex- but Cam fights back!
Stew-O: Cameron begins to connect with some huge punches to Sierra’s gut, that leaves her wincing in pain! I’m not sure if she’ll have the strength to continue with that superplex here, as Cameron is looking to not only wear down Sierra, but leave her winded, and open to transition into one of her own moves! Sierra Bradford slowly lets go, as Cameron quickly recovers- NO! SIERRA CONNECTS WITH AN AVALANCHE HURRICANRANA!!
Jake Mercer:…INTO A KNEE LIFT FROM A BARELY-STANDING MEI SASAKI! CAMERON ELLA AVA IS OUT COLD, AS MEI TURNS AND HOLDS MILLI BACK! SIERRA SLIPS OFF, INTO THE COVER!
OOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Jake Mercer: MILLI BANKS CHARGES FORWARD AND TACKLES MEI SASAKI DIRECTLY ONTO THE COVER, BREAKING IT UP IMMINENTLY! SIERRA HOLDS ONTO THE SIDE OF HER TORSO, EXACTLY WHERE CAMERON WAS P UNCHING HER, BEFORE ROLLING AWAY FROM THE COVER! WHAT A GREAT LAST SECOND SAVE FROM MILLI, AS SHE TAKES OUT BOTH OF THE QUEEN BEES AND PERHAPS CAMERON IN THE PROCESS! MILLI AND MEI ROLL OUT AT OPPOSITE SIDES, AS SIERRA AND CAMERON ARE LEFT IN THE RING!
(Cameron Ella Ava and Sierra Bradford would be lying in the center of the ring, Cameron Ella Ava applying pressure to her jaw, where Mei Sasaki landed the knee, whereas Sierra is tending to the bruises on the side of her torso. Eventually, though, the two would roll to their stomachs, and press against each other, using the leverage to lift each other off the ground.)
Stew-O: FOREARM TO THE FACE FROM CAMERON! SIERRA IS ROCKED… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A FOREARM OF HER OWN! CAMERON GOES JELLY-LEGGED… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A FOREARM OF HER OWN! NO! SIERRA COUNTERS IT, LOOKING FOR A BACKSLIDE… ‘WONDER WOMAN PUNCH’!!! SIERRA STUMBLES BACK, AND HITS THE TURNBUCKLES, SHE’S OUT!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: But Mei Sasaki tags in! She enters the ring, before connecting with a huge lariat to the back of Cameron’s head! Cameron was not expecting that, as she was posing to hype up her ‘Goddess Rising’ – Mei was able to tag herself in and take advantage! Mei begins to choke Cameron out with her knee, pressing her against the middle rope, but the referee comes in to stop her!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Flannery McCoy: And Mei Sasaki breaks it up! She drags Cameron away from the ropes… CROSSFACE CHICKENWING APPLIED! SHE LOOKS TO LOCK IN THE BODYSCISSORS AS THEY HIT THE MAT-
Stew-O: CAMERON ELLA AVA ROLLS INTO A COVER!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Stew-O: KICK OUT FROM MEI… THEY RUSH TO THEIR FEET… ‘GODDESS RISING’ FROM CAMERON AS MEI GETS TO HER KNEES! SHE FALLS INTO THE COVER!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Sierra Bradford: ROPE BREAK!
(The referee’s hand almost lands three, before he notices Mei Sasaki’s foot underneath the bottom rope…)
Stew-O: OF COURSE! SIERRA PULLS MEI’S FOOT TOWARDS THE ROPES, AND CALLS A ROPE BREAK!
Crowd: :patrickboo: :patrickboo: :patrickboo: :patrickboo: :patrickboo: :patrickboo: :patrickboo: :patrickboo:
Flannery McCoy: Cameron doesn’t believe it! She hits the mat, before sliding out of the ring to go after Sierra!
Jake Mercer: Sierra throws a lariat, however, Cameron ducks it! Snapmare Facebreaker on the outside! ‘Snapback’ connects, and Sierra Bradford is out of it! Cameron Ella Ava took out Mei Sasaki’s tag team partner, as she now turns her attention to the ring itself, entering through the ropes-
Flannery McCoy: ‘DISINTEGRATION’!!! SPINNING HEEL KICK TO CAMERON’S HEAD, AS SHE HITS THE MAT ONCE MORE! MEI SASAKI HAS DONE IT, MEI SASAKI JUST WON IT FOR THE QUEEN BEES! SHE SHOOTS THE HALF AND ENTERS THE COVER WITH NO ONE TO BREAK IT UP!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
…
…
…
Flannery McCoy: NO! KICK OUT FROM CAMERON ELLA AVA, CAMERON IS STILL IN IT! HER HEAD WAS KICKED RIGHT OFF HER SHOULDERS BUT SHE STILL HAS THE SPIRIT TO PUSH HER SHOULDERS UP OFF THE MAT, AND KEEP ON FIGHTING! MEI SASAKI WAS SO CLOSE TO THE VICTORY, BUT CAMERON KEPT GOING IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THE QUEEN BEES DID NOT GET THIS VICTORY OVER HER! WHAT A KICK OUT!
Crowd: :blessed: :blessed: :blessed: :blessed:
Stew-O: Mei Sasaki can’t believe it, as she covers her face, not knowing what else she needs to use! However, she isn’t going to waste her time sitting on her hands, she’s going to do something about it! She lifts Cameron off her back, before grabbing her by the hair… forearm to the head! Another forearm! She begins to weigh her down, before finishing the combo off… WITH A PALM STRIKE DIRECTLY TO THE HEAD! CAMERON ELLA AVA IS OUT OF IT… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH AN OVERHEAD KICK RIGHT TO MEI SASAKI’S FACE! MEI HITS THE GROUND, AS CAMERON ROLLS ONTO HER STOMACH! SHE CRAWLS OVER… AND TAGS IN MILLI BANKS!
(TAG!)
Stew-O: MILLI BANKS ENTERS THE ROPES, AS MEI SLOWLY RECOVERS… CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD- DUCKED!
Flannery McCoy: MILLI BANKS CHARGES TOWARDS THE ROPES, BEFORE SPRINGBOARDING OFF OF THEM! SHE PERFORMS A BACKFLIP, BEFORE LANDING ON HER FEET, WITH MEI SASAKI PLANTED IN THE INVERTED DDT POSITION… AND IT CONNECTS! ‘FORECLOSURE’ LANDS, AS SHE ENTERS THE COVER!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
…
…
Stew-O: KICK OUT FROM MEI SASAKI, THOUGH AS SHE’S STILL IN IT!
Flannery McCoy: DESPITE THE QUEEN BEES’ CHEAP ANTICS IN THIS MATCH, I CANNOT DENY MEI SASAKI HERE! HER RESILIANCE IS OFF THE CHARTS, BUT DON’T DOUBT MILLI BANKS EITHER! MILLI IS AT THE TOP OF HER GAME, AND WE’RE SEEING IT HERE!
(Milli Banks and Mei Sasaki roll away from each other, slowly getting to their feet…)
Flannery McCoy: BUT HERE COMES MILLI WITH THE RUNNING SINGLE HIGH KNEE! ‘NO FAKE BILLS HERE’!!!
Stew-O: MILLI ROLLS OUT OF IT, AND LEAPS FORWARD DIRECTLY INTO HER CORNER!
(TAG!)
Stew-O: AND HERE COMES SIERRA BRADFORD! MILLI BANKS SCURRIES TO HER FEET, AS SIERRA CHARGES FORWARD… DISCUS BIG BOOT! ‘PRIMA DONNA’ CONNECTS, AS SHE FALLS BACKWARDS INTO THE COVER!!! SIERRA MAY HAVE JUST WON IT FOR THE QUEEN BEES, SIERRA MAY HAVE JUST BEAT MILLI!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Jake Mercer: KICK OUT FROM MILLI BANKS! MILLI BANKS IS OUT OF THAT SCENARIO, AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN DEVASTATING HERE! SIERRA ALMOST JUST TOOK AWAY THIS MARQUEE EVENT MOMENT FROM HER, OUT OF NOWHERE! BUT, MILLI ISN’T DONE, SHE ISN’T GOING TO STAY DOWN LIKE THAT, SHE’S GOING TO KEEP FIGHTING BACK! SIERRA BRADFORD SLAPS THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION, BEFORE SHE LOOKS DOWN AT MILLI!
Sierra Bradford: (off-mic) YOU AREN’T ON OUR LEVEL!
Jake Mercer: She pie faces Milli on the ground!
Sierra Bradford: (off-mic) WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE DONE WITH YOU!
Jake Mercer: And again!
Sierra Bradford: (off-mic) LEAVE! US! ALONE!
Jake Mercer: Again, and again, and again! She’s disrespecting Milli here!
Flannery McCoy: She absolutely is, as The Queen Bees thought they were done with Milli Banks a long time ago! All week Serenity Valdez has shown how stressed she is with Milli constantly breathing down her neck, proclaiming that she’s tired of facing Milli, tired of having to deal with her, and now The Queen Bees have their golden opportunity to finally get away from her, to move onto what they believe as bigger and better things! And that moment could be NOW!
Stew-O: Sierra Bradford grabs Milli Banks, and she hooks the arm! She is clearly looking for the Somersault Reverse DDT that she dubs ‘Fairytale Killer’ – looking to metaphorically and physically end the Fairytale story that Milli Banks has, the idea that she can get the best of The Queen Bees, get the best of Serenity… SHE LOOKS TO END IT HERE, AS IT CONNECTS!
Jake Mercer: BUT MILLI BANKS SHOVES SIERRA BRADFORD OFF AT THE LAST SECOND! MILLI BANKS CHARGES FORWARD… ‘BANKRUPT’ CONNECTS! THE SALIDA SEL SOL ON SIERRA BRADFORD, PLANTING SIERRA HEAD FIRST INTO THE MAT! MILLI BANKS SWEEPS INTO THE COVER!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS… THE TEAM OF CAMERON ELLA AVA… AND MILLIIIIII BAAAAAAAAAANKSSSSSSSSS!!!!
(‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj ft Lil Wayne hits the speakers, as the EAW audience bursts into a fit of cheers. Milli Banks rolls away from Sierra Bradford with an elated expression on her face, as Cameron Ella Ava quickly rolls into the ring. Cameron kneels down and places her arm over Milli, as the two begin to talk to one another, clearly expressing their delight over beating The Queen Bees and shutting them up once and for all. Cameron helps Milli to her feet, as the referee grabs both of their arms, and raises them up high.)
Flannery McCoy: WHAT A VICTORY FOR MILLI BANKS! Ever since Justified Reckoning, all those months ago, The Queen Bees have been like a thorn in her side. Her expressed journey to become Champion that early on in her career, to pick up the Specialists Championship and wear it with pride; that has driven her ever since that moment, however, The Queen Bees had other plans! They had constantly ruined her moments to become Champion, constantly taken the victory away from her, constantly snatched the spotlight from her, and that was none more prominent than Road To Redemption!
Stew-O: Indeed, just as Milli was about to pin Serenity Valdez, just as she was about to ensure that Serenity Valdez does not walk away from her title, The Queen Bees broke up the cover, but to be more specific; it was SIERRA! Sierra was the one who took away her opportunity to become Champion, and right here tonight, Milli Banks did everything in her power to make sure The Queen Bees ended up with a victory; more importantly, she finally got revenge for that Elimination Chamber moment with that pinfall over Sierra!
Jake Mercer: Tonight it was about Milli and Cameron, Cameron making her return to the Dynasty brand with a huge bang, taking out what could be one of the best factions in EAW, and Milli getting that victory she has long since desired over them on a marquee stage! Tonight was that mo ment, as the two of them stand tall in victory!
(Milli Banks and Cameron Ella Ava would pose on the top rope, celebrating their victory, before they hop down and bump fists. They roll out together and walk up the ramp, as the camera focuses on Mei Sasaki checking on Sierra Bradford. Eventually, the broadcast would fade out, as we head to commercial…)
(A commercial for Netflix’s One Piece plays featuring Komatsu Ogawa as Blackbeard and Myles as Don Krieg!!!!)
(The graphic for the next match appears.)
(The camera returns back to the ring where ring announcer Gina Romano is standing with a microphone in hand and is ready to start the introductions for our next match. )
Gina Romano: Ladies and Gentlemen! This next contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(The lights dim except for the bright lights shining up and at the top of the entrance ramp as ‘Partition (Smearcase Trap Remix)’ by Beyoncé starts to play. Seconds later, the crowd starts filling the arena with boos and jeers as the camera focuses on the boots before slowing traveling up the beautiful figure and then stopping on the face of Kassidy Heart. Kass is wearing her metal Lecter-Style mask and you can tell by her eyes that she means business as she heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first and making her way to the ring. She is from Sydney, Australia. Weighing in at 141 pounds. Here is “THE MAULER” KASSIDY HEART!
Deadprez: Here comes a woman who is on a mission and is out for blood. Kassidy Heart would love nothing more than to cut the return of Ms. Extreme as short as it possibly can. Ever since Road to Redemption in December, these two have been at each other’s throats.
Eve: After what these two have done to each other for almost two months, it will be hard to even describe this encounter as a match. This is going to be a fight, plain and simple. I hope the referee for this match is getting paid extra for the unenviable job of having to keep these two separated.
Gavin Kirkland: There have been constant attacks between these two with Kassidy getting the better end of the exchange last week on Showdown as she left Camille out cold. King of Elite has been a special event for The Mauler. Two years ago, she became the first woman in EAW history to become King of Elite. Tonight, she looks to make history again by ending Ms. Extreme’s career. For good!
(Kass slowly enters the ring and takes her corner as the lights come fully on and her music fades off. Kass starts taking off the metal mask as ‘They Call Me a God’ by NEFFEX starts to play and Ms. Extreme enters the arena to a nice ovation from the crowd. She is not playing around as she immediately heads to the ring! )
Gina Romano: Introducing her opponent! From Calabasas, California! Weighing in at 140 pounds. Here is “THE PROBLEM CHILD” MS. EXTREME!
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes Ms. Extreme and she is heading to the ring with a purpose. She is not happy after what took place last week. Tonight, she wants payback and she won’t stop until she gets it.
Eve: Camille has had two goals in mind ever since returning to EAW. One, she wants to raise as much hell for the Disney executives as she can for them trying to change her and she’s off to a good start there. Two, she wants to beat Kassidy Heart within an inch of her life.
Deadprez: If Ms. Extreme has her way, she will get her wish. Two of the most successful stars in EAW history are about to officially meet in the ring. The longest reigning Universal Women’s Champion in history is about to take on the longest reigning Answers World Champion in history. Who will win? Better yet… who will survive? We are about to find out!
(Ms. Extreme enters the ring with eyes locked on Kassidy Heart as her music fades off. The referee barely manages to check both competitors before Ms. Extreme runs right towards Kassidy Heart as the referee calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: HERE WE GO!! Referee has called for the bell and we are underway! Camille just could not wait to get her hands on Kassidy. LOU THESZ PRESS BEFORE THE BELL RANG AND SHE IS JUST THROWING RIGHTS AND LEFTS!
Gavin Kirkland: Extreme is trying to punch the face… the beautiful face… of Kassidy Heart. This match is filled with so much anger and vengeance that it might not go very long. They wanna maim each other that bad.
Eve: Referee is telling Camille to open up the fists, so instead she pulls Kassidy up by the hair AND FLINGS HER HALFWAY ACROSS THE RING LIKE A FRISBEE! Camille picks out a few strands of Kassidy’s brunette locks from her fingers before laying the boots to Kassidy.
Deadprez: Kassidy having problems out of the gate, but she had to have figured that this could happen. In my opinion, out of all the Avas, Camille has probably the shortest fuse and if she hates you, that fuse could almost be nonexistent as we see right now.
Eve: Camille once again brings Kass to her feet by the hair and just SHOVES her into the corner. Camille is now on the apron and behind the turnbuckle AND SHE IS PULLING KASSIDY’S HAIR AND PULLING HER NECK BACK! That does not look comfortable!
Gavin Kirkland: The referee tells her to let it go before they start the five count and Extreme releases on four and Kass falls to her knees. Extreme back into the ring as she puts Kassidy back in the corner and she starts KICKING KASS IN THE MIDSECTION!
Deadprez: Those martial arts style kicks are finding their mark and the referee is once again admonishing Extreme. Another count starts and Extreme lets her free at four. The referee is no doubt allowing a little leeway between these two because they know how heated this rivalry is and figured this would happen.
Gavin Kirkland: Kassidy has not been able to mount any offense as of yet as Extreme lifts her up for that Saito Suplex, BUT KASS IS CLAWING THE EYES TO GET FREE! KASS LANDS BEHIND EXTREME AND PULLS HER DOWN BY THE HAIR!
Eve: NOT JUST THAT! KASS HAD THE KNEE READY AND SHE DROPPED THE BACK OF CAMILLE’S NECK ACROSS HER KNEE! UGLY LANDING FOR THE PROBLEM CHILD! Camille is now holding the back of her neck in pain as Kass has turned the tide in her favor.
Gavin Kirkland: Kass’ eyes look are staring daggers into the former Universal Women’s Champion as Camille is on her knees AND KASSIDY KICKS HER SOCCER PUNT STYLE RIGHT IN THE RIBS!
Eve: Now Extreme is holding her ribs in pain as she rolls over onto her stomach, but that might not have been a good move as Kassidy now mounts Camille AND STARTS THROWING FOREARMS RIGHT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!
Deadprez: Those MMA style strikes finding their mark with precision and perfection. It’s what we’ve come to expect with Kassidy Heart. That vicious nature is why she has the longest Answers World Championship reign in history.
Gavin Kirkland: Torture could easily be Kass’ middle name as she has stopped with the forearms AND SHE IS DRIVING THE POINT OF HER ELBOW RIGHT IN THE BASE OF CAMILLE’S NECK! IS THAT EVEN LEGAL?
Deadprez: It might be unethical, but I don’t believe it is illegal. Does it really matter right now? Kassidy Heart has Ms. Extreme right where she wants her and KASSIDY HEART HAS A HANDFUL OF HAIR AS WELL! DOING MORE DAMAGE WITH THAT ELBOW!
Eve: The referee admonishes Kass now with the hair pulling and starts another count. Referee reaches four and Kass lets Camille go and Camille just bounces face first into the mat. Kass stands up BUT QUICKLY DROPS BACK DOWN SITTING ON THE SMALL OF CAMILLE’S BACK!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s just a taste of what Kassidy Heart is going to do when she has her way and she right now is getting her way. Kassidy drags Camille over to the ropes and drops her neck first on the middle rope. Kass gets some distance BEFORE DRIVING HER KNEES INTO THE BACK OF EXTREME’S HEAD!
Deadprez: Camille falls to the mat as Kassidy Heart drags her away from the ropes and back to the center of the ring before she hooks the leg for the cover.
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
THHHHHRRRRRR-
Eve: MS. EXTREME POWERS OUT AT TWO! I think Kass knew that she was going to kick out. I think this was just so Camille can expend some energy to get her shoulders off the mat because we know that it’s going to take A LOT to put one of these ladies down.
Deadprez: They both aren’t former World Champions for nothing. Kass brings Camille back up to her feet once again and Kass looks ready for some boxing practice. KASS THROWS A RIGHT HOOK-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT EXTREME DUCKS IT AND SPINS KASS AROUND! Extreme with a waist lock as they run towards the ropes. EXTREME IS LOOKING FOR A ROLL UP–
Eve: BUT KASS HOLDS ONTO THE TOP ROPE AND SENDS EXTREME TUMBLING BACK!! Extreme is quickly back to her feet and runs towards Kassidy to clothesline her, BUT KASS DUCKS AND PULLS THE BOTTOM ROPE DOWN! CAMILLE SENT TUMBLING OUT OF THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: Extreme is down on the floor in front of us and Kassidy is now on the apron. She is waiting for Camille to get back to her feet. Camille does and KASS BOUNCES ONTO THE SECOND ROPE! KASSIDY HEART WITH THE ASAI MOONSAULT TO THE OUTSIDE!
Deadprez: NOBODY WAS HOME FOR THE ASAI MOONSAULT! EXTREME AVOIDS IT AT THE LAST SECOND AND KASSIDY CRASHES AND BURNS CHEST FIRST ONTO THE FLOOR! THAT WAS AN UGLY LANDING!
Gavin Kirkland: But Ms. Extreme just has a smile on her face. She loves the fact that Kassidy screwed up. Now is her chance to take the match back in her favor and looks like that’s exactly what she is going to do.
Eve: Camille picks Kass back up and grabs her around the waist before running full speed AND SENDING KASS BACK FIRST INTO THE RING APRON! BUT SHE IS NOT LETTING GO! Now Extreme backs Kass UP AND RUNS FULLS SPEED THIS TIME SENDING KASSIDY SPINE FIRST INTO THE RING POST!
Deadprez: Ms. Extreme is not relenting at all. She gets Kassidy in position again AND NOW SENDS HER BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! CAMILLE DOING A NUMBER ON KASSIDY’S BACK AT THE MOMENT!
Eve: Ms. Extreme now has Kassidy by the hair and SMASHES HER FACE AGAINST THE BARRICADE! AGAIN AND AGAIN! KASSIDY’S FACE AND HEAD TASTE THE BARRICADE!
Gavin Kirkland: But Camille has got to watch out for the count. Beating Kassidy’s brains in might be fun, but it won’t be if they both lose the match by count out. I think she heard me because the referee reached seven on the count and Camille rolls back into the ring to break the count.
Deadprez: Only to roll back out to have the ref start the count all over again. Kassidy has taken a beating on the outside as Camille drags Kassidy away from the barricade BEFORE PICKING HER UP AND TOSSING HER DOWN WITH THAT EXPLODER SUPLEX! KASSIDY’S BACK TAKING SOME MORE DAMAGE!
Gavin Kirkland: Ms. Extreme is not messing around in this match. She wants more than just the victory. She wants Kassidy Heart to suffer immense and I mean IMMENSE pain and agony. Right now she is off to a good start.
Eve: Kassidy backs up and is resting against the ring steps for a quick breather, but here comes Camille ready to cause more damage. She has a handful of Kass’ hair and is trying to bring her back to her feet–
Deadprez: KASS GRABBED HOLD OF CAMILLE’S TOP AND JUST SMASHES HER FACE FIRST ON THE TOP OF THE RING STEPS! DID YOU THAT THUD ON IMPACT? She was not able to block the shot, so she fully met the ring steps.
Gavin Kirkland: Extreme falls to a knee after hitting the steps as Kass makes it back to her feet. Kass now with another handful of hair AND SHE JUST SMASHES EXTREME’S FACE AGAINST THE STEPS AGAIN! SHE PULLS HER UP AND DOES IT A THIRD TIME! THESE WOMEN ARE OUT FOR BLOOD!
Referee: (off-mic): COME ON, LADIES!! GET BACK IN THE RING RIGHT NOW!
Kassidy Heart: (off-mic) SHOVE IT, REF!
Eve: Well how do you do? Kassidy Heart is telling it like it is to the ref, but the referee is still counting. We see an eye roll from Kass as she picks up Camille and rolls her back into the ring. Kassidy quickly follows suit and decides that she is going to climb.
Deadprez: Kass makes her way to the second rope and gets in position to jump. Fist is clenched AND SHE JUMPS LOOKING FOR THE DIVING FIST DROP, BUT ONCE AGAIN NOBODY HOME AS EXTREME ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND!
Gavin Kirkland: Kassidy Heart is zero for two in the flying department as tries quickly to recover from the missed move BUT HERE COMES MS. EXTREME AND THIS TIME EXTREME HITS THE SAITO SUPLEX! KASS LOOKS LIKE SHE WAS DROPPED ON HER HEAD AS EXTREME SCRAMBLES INTO A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRREE-
Eve: KASSIDY HEART KICKS OUT AT TWO! Heart is still down and I think that Camille right now is taking a second to say “screw the rules” as she mounts Kass AND JUST STARTS CHOKING HER!
Deadprez: CAMILLE NOT EVEN TRYING TO HIDE IT AS SHE BLATANTLY CHOKES KASS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE REFEREE! THAT LEAVES THE REFEREE NO CHOICE BUT TO START ANOTHER COUNT!
Referee: (off-mic) Come on! You know you can’t do that! Break the choke! BREAK IT NOW! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FI–
Eve: HOLY CRAP! DID SHE JUST TAKE A SWING AT THE REFEREE? Would you call that a case of temporary insanity? I mean she was dangerous close to being disqualified right there.
Gavin Kirkland: Our poor, Camille. Prison life has completely hardened her. First she keeps trying to maim Kassidy Heart and now she’s taking swings at innocent bystanding referees. Has she no shame?
Deadprez: Will you stop that? You’re making her out to be some jailbird which you know is farther from the truth and you know that.
Gavin Kirkland: I mean she did hit our General Manager right in the face and we all saw her getting taken away in handcuffs, so what do you call her if she isn’t a jailbird?
Eve: What is wrong with you right now more than the usual stuff that’s wrong with you? That was an accident and you know very well that it was. So how about you quit with that stuff and get back to calling the match.
Deadprez: Couldn’t agree more, Eve. As we had that little argument with Gavin, Camille mounted Kassidy and was once again throwing lefts and rights into her face. This time, Kass managed to shove Camille away and get free for a quick breather.
Gavin Kirkland: Kassidy once again in the ropes and Ms. Extreme is right there. Camille grabs her legs as Kassidy is now holding onto the top rope. MS. EXTREME YANKS KASSIDY OFF THE ROPES, BUT KASSIDY LANDS ON HER FEET! GREAT COUNTER!
Eve: Kassidy Heart follows up WITH A SLAP RIGHT TO THE FACE! DANG! WHAT A SHOT! That could have been a jawbreaker right there with the force that slap had. BUT I THINK ALL IT DID WAS FIRE MS. EXTREME UP!
Deadprez: If looks could kill then Kassidy Heart would be six feet under right now. Camille did NOT like being slapped in the face AND THAT IS WHY! CAMILLE WITH A RIGHT HAND RIGHT IN THE JAW! KASSIDY WAS ROCKED AND THAT PUNCH MIGHT HAVE LOOSENED A FEW OF HER PEARLY WHITES!
Eve:That momentary distraction leads to Kassidy Heart getting kicked in the gut before being lifted in the air. LOOK AT THE POWER OF MS. EXTREME! KASSIDY IS BEING HELD UP IN THE AIR! THE BLOOD IS RUSHING TO KASSIDY’S HEAD!
Deadprez: The crowd is counting the time for how long Ms. Extreme holds Kass up in the air. The crowd has reached thirty and Ms. Extreme has had enough AND SHE BRINGS KASSIDY DOWN WITH THE VERTICAL SUPLEX! THAT WAS ALMOST A MODIFIED BRAINBUSTER!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT A MOVE BY MS. EXTREME! KASSIDY HEARTS LANDS HARD ONCE AGAIN ON THE MAT! SHE ALMOST LANDED RIGHT ON HER HEAD AS MS. EXTREME GOES FOR THE COV–
???: HOLD ON! HOLD ON A SECOND! I have something important to say.
Deadprez: What in the world is going on? We are in the middle of a very hard hitting match and who is on the micro– OHHHHHHH!
(Before Deadprez can finish the sentence, Showdown General Manager Kennedy Street comes out onto the entrance ramp with her microphone still in hand and a smile on her face to loud jeers from the crowd. Kassidy is still down while Ms. Extreme looks up the entrance ramp and wonders why she’s here.)
Deadprez: Here comes General Manager Kennedy Street out onto the stage.
Kennedy Street: Kennie is here and she has something very important to announce since my dress was so rudely stained earlier in the skybox, luckily Kennie carries a spare, and Camille, you are definitely going to want to hear this because this announcement just can’t wait.
(The crowd is still booing the Showdown GM, but she is paying the fans no mind.)
Kennedy Street: Canada is where I made a name for myself and why you love me so much, eh!?! But Kennie is here on very important business. Camille, I thank you for opening my eyes earlier, honey.
Eve: We can only wonder what she has to say right now. I mean couldn’t she have picked a better time than in the middle of a match.
(Ms. Extreme says nothing but she is still glaring up the entrance ramp wanting Kennedy to get to the point.)
Kennedy Street: Now remember that this match is from Kennie’s brand and Kennie felt like this match was missing something. I feel like this match could be more. I think that with a match like this rooting in anger and hatred that we should up the ante.
(The crowd starts to quiet down a little because they are curious as to what Kennedy is talking about… but they are still booing her.)
Kennedy Street: Thanks to you and hurting my face, then spilling shellfish down my tatas, you big brute, I have realized that a standard singles contest just isn’t enough to get the results that are warranted and Kennie is all about making things more entertaining and to show why Showdown is the best brand in EAW. That’s why it has been decided to give you no excuses Camille, and that as of right now, this match will now be contested as…
Kennedy Street: A STREET FIGHT!
(The crowd goes crazy in cheers hearing that this match is now a street fight. Even Camille starts to get an evil smirk on her face.)
Gavin Kirkland: Oh this is going to make things interesting!
Eve: That explains why she came out now. A street fight is right up both women’s allies. They love that environment.
Kennedy Street: That’s right! As of right now all rules are out the window, honey! Don’t say Kennie never gave you guys anything. Good luck!
Deadprez: There you have it. This match continues now under street fight rules. Well that pretty much means that there are no rules and as long as it isn’t nailed down to anything, it’s fair game.
(Kennedy walks backstage and Ms. Extreme turns her attention back to Kassidy and the match…)
WHACK!
Deadprez: OH MY GAWD! KASSIDY HEART WITH A STEEL CHAIR RIGHT ACROSS THE SKULL! WHAT A SHOT! CAMILLE HOLDS HER HEAD AND FALLS TO A HEAP ONTO THE MAT! Was the change of match stipulation all part of the plan?
Gavin Kirkland: Who knows! But that announcement gave Kassidy enough time to catch a breather and a weapon and that could’ve cleaned Camille’s clock. Camille is down and Kassidy goes outside to find another weapon.
Eve: As if the chair wasn’t enough. She goes under the ring and starts looking for all the goodies and I think she found what she was looking for… OH GREAT! KASS FOUND HER CLAW HAMMER!
Deadprez: Kassidy rolls back into the ring with evil intentions clearly on her mind. She walks over to Camille and puts the chair on her face. Kassidy gets the chair positioned right where she wants it. Kassidy pulls the hammer back before swinging the hammer with all her might–
Eve: KASSIDY CRACKS THE HAMMER RIGHT ON THE CHAIR! LOOK AT THE DENT IN THE CHAIR! BUT KASS ISN’T STOPPING! KASS IS USING THE HAMMER AGAIN AND AGAIN ACROSS CAMILLE’S FACE AND THE CHAIR! MORE DENTS ARE BEING CREATED!
Gavin Kirkland: WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE? NOW SHE STOMPS HER BOOT ACROSS THE CHAIR FOR GOOD MEASURE BEFORE SHE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEE!
Deadprez: CAMILLE KICKS OUT BEFORE THREE! NOW WE CAN SEE THAT MS. EXTREME’S NOSE IS BLEEDING! Honestly her nose could be broken right but I highly doubt she gives a crap. LOOK AT KASS!
Gavin Kirkland: Look at her eyes! They look like they have darkened to pitch black. It’s like the sight of blood flipped a switch in her. Kassidy leaves the ring and goes right over to the timekeeper’s table.
Eve: She almost shoves Gina Romano out of the way and grabs the Kassible Lecter mask. That is a steel mask that she is looking to cause maximum damage to Ms. Extreme. She rolls back into the ring and mounts Camille.
Gavin Kirkland: She has that mask on her fist and SHE IS JUST PUNCHING MS. EXTREME RIGHT IN THE FACE! ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WE CAN SEE THAT MS. EXTREME HAS BEEN BUSTED OPEN WITH THE EDGE OF THAT STEEL MASK!
Eve: There’s nothing the referee can do about it now that there are no rules. All they can do is count the pin or ring the bell for a submission and Kassidy is not relenting on the punches until Camille has the infamous crimson mask.
Deadprez: Ohhh. Showdown is probably going to get fined again, but we are live. Anything can happen and that’s exactly what we’re witnessing. Kassidy tosses the mask aside and pulls Camille back to her feet. She has a grip on the back of Camille’s tights AND SHE JUST THROWS MS. EXTREME OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR!
Gavin Kirkland: Extreme is slowing moving on the outside and Kass is waiting for the right moment to go for a big move. She had to use the ring skirt, but Ms. Extreme is almost back to her feet.
Deadprez: Kassidy hits the ropes on the far side before running full speed AND DIVING THROUGH THE ROPES LOOKING FOR A SUICIDE DIVE! MS. EXTREME DOESN’T SEE IT COMING… WAIT A SECOND!
CRASH!
Eve: I THINK THAT CAMILLE DID SEE IT COMING! SHE MANAGED TO PULL A MIRROR FROM UNDER THE RING AND SHE HELD IT UP RIGHT WHEN KASS EXECUTED THE DIVE! KASSIDY CRASHED HEAD FIRST INTO IT AND ALMOST DOVE RIGHT THROUGH IT!
Gavin Kirkland: Ugly landing for Kassidy Heart as she caught within the frame of that mirror. Her arms are stuck and now it’s Camille’s turn to get some weaponry. I don’t think she’s looking for specific things because she’s just throwing anything and everything out onto the floor.
Deadprez: But she did find one that she wanted and it looks like she has chosen… A CHEESE GRATER! THERE’S ONLY ONE THING SHE WANTS TO DO WITH THAT AND IT ISN’T TO MAKE CHEESE FOR A PIZZA!
Eve: She pulls Kass by the hair back into a sitting position and her arms are still stuck. Camille applies a headlock with one hand and has the grater in the other. An evil grin crosses Ms. Extreme face before SHE RUNS THE GRATER RIGHT ACROSS KASSIDY’S FOREHEAD!
Deadprez: THE BLOOD IMMEDIATELY STARTS POURING FROM KASSIDY AS CAMILLE RUNS A FEW LAPS ACROSS HER FOREHEAD! We are already in trouble, so why not go for broke in this match.
Gavin Kirkland: Go for broke is the mindset of both these women in order to win this match. Now Camille lets Kass go and Kass has a matching crimson mask. Camille removes the wooden frame from around Kass AND BREAKS IT OVER THE RING APRON INTO NUMEROUS PIECES!
Eve: Camille’s eye catches a bigger and more jagged piece of the wooden frame. She grabs the broken frame piece and walks back over to Kass who hasn’t moved. She pulls Kassidy once again into a sitting position.
Gavin Kirkland: Ms. Extreme has a handful of hair to keep Kass in place and SHE JUST SHANKS KASS WITH THE BROKEN FRAME IN THE COLLARBONE! IT ISN’T SHARP, SO CAMILLE GOES BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL SHE DRAWS BLOOD!
Deadprez: These women will stop at nothing in order to win this match. Camille tosses the wood aside and throws Kass down to the floor before she goes for the cover. Will this be enough?
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: KASSIDY ROLLS THE SHOULDER UP RIGHT BEFORE THE THREE COUNT! Remember that falls count anywhere in a street fight and we witnessed that firsthand. Camille was a second away from winning this match.
Eve: Kass is not moving and Camille goes back under the ring to look for another weapon. As if she didn’t have enough at her disposal already! She goes searching for something big AND I THINK SHE DID! MS. EXTREME HAS A LADDER!
Deadprez: This is going to be good! Camille has the ladder in hand as she gets a better grip on the ladder AND SHE JUST CLOCKS KASSIDY WITH THE TOP OF THE LADDER ACROSS HER BACK!
Eve: KASS IS CERTAINLY FEELING THE PAIN AND MS. EXTREME LIFTS THE LADDER AGAIN AND CRACKS HER IN THE BACK AGAIN! KASSIDY ISN’T MOVING AND CAMILLE PUTS THE LADDER ASIDE AND PULLS KASSIDY BACK UP TO HER FEET!
Gavin Kirkland: Ms. Extreme drags Kassidy back over to the timekeeper’s table and she is eyeing the ring bell. Camille has a handful of hair and SHE WANTS KASSIDY TO GET UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH THE RING BELL–
Deadprez: KASSIDY GOT HER HANDS UP AND BLOCKED IT! WHERE DID THAT ENERGY COME FROM? Camille tries it again AND KASSIDY BLOCKS IT AGAIN BEFORE THROWING ELBOWS INTO HER SIDE! Repeated elbows get Kassidy free and knock Camille off to the side.
Gavin Kirkland: Kassidy takes that opening to grab the ring bell before hauling back AND CRACKING MS. EXTREME IN THE SKULL WITH THE RING BELL! DID YOU HEAR THE DING FROM THAT SHOT?
Eve: THAT MIGHT HAVE JUST REOPENED CAMILLE, BUT CAMILLE IS SOMEHOW STILL STANDING! Kassidy puts the ring bell down and kicks Camille in the gut before DROPPING HER WITH THE DEDEDE DDT RIGHT ON THE RING BELL! CAMILLE’S HEAD CRACKS THE RING BELL AGAIN!
Deadprez: Ms. Extreme looks to be in another dimension right now as Kassidy rolls Camille over and goes for the cover. This has got to be it.
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!
TTTHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!
Gavin Kirkland: IT’S NOT OVER! WHERE THERE’S A WILL, THERE’S A WAY! MS. EXTREME ROLLS THAT SHOULDER UP RIGHT AS THE REFEREE IS GOING FOR THE THREE COUNT! These competitors are giving the EAW faithful an awesome match to witness.
Eve: They are literally throwing everything at each other. They are out for blood and we are witnessing the literal sense of that. Kassidy takes a deep breath before yanking Ms. Extreme up by the hair and lobs her back into the ring.
Deadprez: Kassidy goes under the ring really quick and quickly finds a toolbox! What does Kassidy want from a toolbox? She opens it up and SHE PULLS OUT A FEW NAILS FROM THE TOOLBOX BEFORE TOSSING THE BOX ASIDE AND ROLLING BACK INTO THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: What does Kassidy have in mind as she goes back and grabs her claw hammer. Camille is barely starting to come to, BUT KASSIDY GRABS HER ANKLE! IT’S THAT INJURED ANKLE THAT PUT MS. EXTREME OUT OF ACTION FOR SEVERAL MONTHS!
Eve: We know what Kass is about to do. Camille does too and she is scrambling to get free, BUT KASS HAS A KNEE ON HER LEG AND SHE CAN’T GET FREE! SHE HAS THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE BASE OF HER ANKLE. SHE HAS THE HAMMER READY TO SWING! COME ON KASS, DON’T DO IT!
Deadprez: SHE DOESN’T CARE! SHE SWINGS THE HAMMER AND DRIVES THE NAIL RIGHT INTO CAMILLE’S ANKLE! OH GAWD ALMIGHTY! CAMILLE IS BITING HER LIP TO FIGHT LETTING OUT A SCREAM OF PAIN, BUT WE KNOW IT’S HURTING!
Gavin Kirkland: The nail didn’t fully go into the ankle, but it’s there enough to cause damage and all we see is a smile. An evil smile from The Mauler knowing that she could easily put Ms. Extreme out of action yet again.
Eve: Kassidy grabs the leg and spins around looking for the submission. More specifically XoXo Kass! IF KASSIDY GETS THE FIGURE EIGHT LEG LOCK EXECUTED THIS MATCH COULD BE OVER! WAIT A SECOND! CAMILLE FREED HER LEG AND KICKED KASS IN THE KNEE!
Gavin Kirkland: KASSIDY’S HEAD GOES DOWN AND CAMILLE FIGHTS THE PAIN TO GRAB KASSIDY’S HEAD AND PULL HER INTO A ROLL UP! INSIDE CRADLE BY MS. EXTREME! IS SHE GOING TO STEAL IT HERE!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!
Deadprez: KASS GETS THE SHOULDER UP, BUT DANG! SHE ALMOST GOT CAUGHT RIGHT THERE! Kass didn’t like that one bit as she gets back to her feet and grabs the chair from earlier and swings it-
Eve: MS. EXTREME ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! KASS TRIES AGAIN BUT CAMILLE DODGES AGAIN! CAMILLE KICKS KASS’ LEG OUT FROM UNDER HER AND KASSIDY’S FACE MEETS THE CHAIR WHEN SHE FALLS!
Gavin Kirkland: Ms. Extreme takes this chance to roll out of the ring to create some breathing room and possibly get another weapon. Kass quickly recovers and she goes through the ropes and grabs a handful of Camille’s hair trying to drag her back into the ring–
Deadprez: DOES ANYBODY ELSE HEAR SOME KIND OF SHOCKING SOUND OR IS JUST ME? WHAT HAPPENED? KASSIDY IS HOLDING THAT COLLARBONE IN PAIN! THE SAME ONE STABBED EARLIER AND SHE LETS CAMILLE GO?
Eve: LOOK AT WHAT MS. EXTREME HAS! IT’S THAT RED LIGHTNING BOLT! THE ELECTRIC BOLT RIGHT TO KASSIDY’S COLLARBONE AND THAT ALMOST NUMBS KASSIDY’S ARM!
Gavin Kirkland: Camille is back in control as she limps up to the apron. With as much speed as she can muster with an injured ankle, Ms. Extreme climbs her way to the top rope. She’s calling for it. She’s calling for Kass to get back to her feet.
Eve: Ms. Extreme takes the chance AND JUMPS FROM THE TOP ROPE AND SHE TAKES KASSIDY DOWN WITH THE “GLASS CEILING”! THE TOP ROPE STUNNER CATCHES KASSIDY RIGHT ON THE MONEY AND EXTREME SCRAMBLES INTO THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEE!
Deadprez: OH THE NEAR FALL! THAT WAS SO CLOSE! THE REFEREE WAS LESS THAN AN INCH AWAY FROM MAKING THAT THIRD COUNT! WHAT A FIGHT THIS HAS BEEN!
Eve: This has been a vicious fight indeed, but it is still not over. Ms. Extreme takes this chance to roll outside the ring to get another weapon. What hasn’t been found under the ring that they haven’t used yet.
Deadprez: Camille looks under the ring AND SHE PULLS OUT A TABLE FROM UNDER THE RING! MS. EXTREME PULLS THE TABLE UPRIGHT AND SETS IT UP OUTSIDE THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: Now she slowly walks over as she gets some feeling back in her ankle as she drags the ladder over to where the table is set up and sets the ladder up where it rests on the barricade and the edge of the ring.
Deadprez: Not only that, THE LADDER IS SET RIGHT OVER THE TABLE! A LITTLE DOUBLE TROUBLE ON THE HORIZON AS MS. EXTREME TRIES TO GET BACK IN THE RING!
Eve: Ms. Extreme stands up and KASSIDY GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE, BUT MS. EXTREME DUCKS IT AND GRABS KASSIDY’S LEGS! Camille drags Kass over to the ropes where the table has been set up AND SLINGSHOTS KASSIDY OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Gavin Kirkland: KASS FLIPS OVER AND LANDS BACK FIRST ON THE LADDER! Now it’s Ms. Extreme who gets on the apron and walks over to the closest corner and starts to climb up to the top turnbuckle!
Deadprez: I KNOW WHAT SHE IS LOOKING FOR! SHE IS LOOKING FOR THE EXCLAMATION POINT OF THIS MATCH WITH HER DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! SHE WANTS KASSIDY HEART TO FEEL THE HOLY GROUND! IF SHE HITS IT, IT’S OV—
Eve: WHAT THE HECK? KASSIDY WAS PLAYING POSSUM OR HIT THE REFRESH BUTTON OR SOMETHING! KASSIDY GETS OFF THE LADDER BEFORE GETTING BACK ON THE APRON! KASS STOPS CAMILLE IN HER TRACKS WITH A CLUBBING BLOW TO THE BACK!
Gavin Kirkland: KASS NOW FINDS HERSELF ON THE TRYING TO CLIMB ONTO THE ROPES, BUT EXTREME IS FIGHTING IT! EXTREME PREVENTING KASS FROM GETTING ON THE TURNBUCKLES–
Eve: BUT KASSIDY HEART WITH A KICK TO THAT INJURED ANKLE AND YOU CAN STILL SEE THE NAIL STICKING OUT OF HER BOOT! EXTREME ABOUT FALLS OFF THE ROPES, BUT SHE KEEPS HER BALANCE AND NOW KASSIDY HAS CLIMBED ONTO THE SECOND ROPE!
Deadprez: KASSIDY THROWS A FEW MORE CLUBBING BLOWS BEFORE SHE GETS CAMILLE ON HER SHOULDERS AND LOCKS HER ARMS! THIS IS GOING TO BE DANGEROUS! THIS IS ALL OR NOTHING AND KASSIDY HEART JUMPS FROM THE SECOND ROPE!
Gavin Kirkland: CHANEL NO 5 THROUGH THE LADDER AND THE TABLE! OH MY GAWD! WHAT A MOVE BY KASS! BOTH COMPETITORS ARE ON THE MAT AND NEITHER ONE IS MOVING AT THE MOMENT! MS. EXTREME TOOK THE WORST OF THAT EXCHANGE, BUT KASS TOOK SOME DAMAGE AS WELL! WHAT A COUNTER BY KASSIDY HEART… WHO IS STARTING TO MOVE!
Deadprez: KASSIDY IS USING HER LAST BIT OF ENERGY TO BRIDGE UP AND GET HER SHOULDERS OFF THE FLOOR! KASSIDY HAS COMPLETED THE BRIDGE AND THE REF GETS IN POSITION TO COUNT THE COVER! WILL MS. EXTREME’S DEMISE BE THE SCENT OF CHANEL NO 5?
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Partition (Smearcase Trap Remix)’ starts playing again as Kassidy rolls off of Camille and stays sitting to catch her breath for a second as Gina Romano announces the final decision.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner… KASSIDY HEART!
Deadprez: What a fight! We knew this was going to get violent and this is what we got. These two wanted to get at each other in the worst way and everybody can see the end result.
Eve: Both women gave everything in this match to obtain superiority over the other. Both women were bloodied and beaten. At the end of the day, Kassidy used Camille’s ankle to her advantage. It was that that caused Camille’s unfortunate demise and helped Kassidy who was able to pull out the victory here tonight against Ms. Extreme.
(Kassidy is now gingerly back to her feet and she takes a deep breath as the referee raises her arm in victory. Kassidy glares at the referee and snatches her arm away in disgust before she slowly walks away from the wreckage to head up the entrance ramp. The referee starts to check on Ms. Extreme, who is still in the wreckage and not moving.)
Gavin Kirkland: We thought the regular singles contest was filled with extremes, but when Kennedy Street changed the rules to a street fight, the intensity got turned up that much more. You have got to believe that Kennedy Street is pleased with the end result.
Deadprez: I can’t disagree with that. The last thing she wanted to do was give Ms. Extreme any momentum on her brand and she got her wish. But you gotta give Camille all the credit in the world and a round of applause for the effort she put up in this match. She gave as good as she got.
Eve: Camille loves the hardcore environment and she showed why she thrives in it. She was close numerous times to picking up the win, but whether we like it or not, Kassidy Heart walks away victorious here in Canada.
Deadprez: This was certainly a fight for the ages. Ms. Extreme showed the intensity that has made her famous, but it was Kassidy Heart who managed to get the upper hand and the victory here at King of Elite. Congratulations to Kassidy Heart.
(The final shot shows Kassidy looking down at the entrance ramp where the trainers are still helping Ms. Extreme, who is still down on the mat. Kassidy shakes her head and rolls her eyes in disgust as the camera cuts to the next match graphic..)
Gina Romano: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Gina Romano: And it is FOR THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!
(‘7 Rings’ by Ariana Grande is heard replacing as the boos and negative receptions from the audience within Rogers Arena grow up to a boiling point. The number one contender for the National Elite Championship makes her way to the ring with a devilish smirk on her lips, taking her sweet time not being in a rush as she makes a brushing motion of the crowd’s reaction before getting in the ring. Once inside she looks at the camera making a belt motion at her waistline. Her intentions are clear. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!! FROM GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT!! WEIGHING IN AT 121 POUNDS!! SHE IS ‘THE PRINCESS OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING’ VEEENAAAAAAAA AAAADAAAAMSSSSS!!!!
Deadprez: Veena has been on a mission as of late with only one goal in mind: Taking the National Elite Championship away from its current holder. Will she be able to do what her illustrious uncle failed to do at the beginning of Donovan’s historic run? We’re on the verge of finding out!
Gavin Kirkland: Love her, hate her, or love to hate her there is no doubt when it comes to her prowess and her skills inside the ring. Tonight will be a test to all of those as she faces a man who has managed to take down every single challenger that tried to stop his run. He won’t be an easy target, and she will need everything she’s got and more if she wants to leave Vancouver with the Championship.
(As Veena is waiting for her opponent with growing impatience, ‘The Outsiders’ by Eric Church is heard replacing ‘I’m a Wanted Man’ to an absolutely loud positive reception from the crowd, as Donovan Duke is seen making his way out to the ring with the National Elite Championship around his waist full of energy, looking absolutely ready for his match tonight. He wastes no time as he starts making his way down to the ring, looking forward to starting his match here tonight.)
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT!! FROM STILLWATER, OKLAHOMA!! WEIGHING IN AT 212 POUNDS!! HE IS THE EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!! “THE OKLAHOMA GENTLEMAN” DOOONOOOVAAAN DUUUUKKEEEEE!!!!
Deadprez: What can be said about the man who holds the record of the longest reign as National Elite Champion in EAW history? He has several detractors, but no matter what is said negatively about him he always stepped up to the plate, and his record up to tonight has shown that he is amongst the very best to hold that title! Perhaps even THE best now with that record-breaking title reign!
Gavin Kirkland: He has yet to face someone the likes of Veena Adams though, but Donovan never backed down from a challenge and this isn’t going to change tonight. Veena presents a unique challenge and we will see if she will be one puzzle Duke will be able to solve in just a few moments’ time!
Referee: RING THE BELL!!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Deadprez: AND HERE WE GO! THIS MATCH FOR THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY!!! This should be a very interesting battle between these two who’s been mouthing off at each other all week leading up to this very moment!
Eve: Deadprez: Both opponents are staring at one other from each other’s corner, Veena has piercing eyes that could kill with a glance and Donovan has the confidence of a record-breaking Champion! Duke makes the first move making his way toward Adams who-Ah Come On! She moves her upper body between the ropes causing the official to get between her and Duke AND THEN SHE DOGS HIM IN THE MOUTH!!! What a cheap shot!
Gavin Kirkland: What are you talking about? The Princess of EAW’s been working hard for this opportunity and if she deems fit to take every possible road in order to get her first-ever Championship then she will!! Look at them out there booing her! They don’t know the first thing about what it’s like to be wrestling Royalty!
Eve: And you do? Don’t answer that, please.
Deadprez: Donovan holds his jaw leaned forward and Veena goes on the offensive with an elbow to the back of the head! Back rake with her nails as Duke makes his way to a corner AND SHE THEN THROWS A HEADBUTT AT HIM!
Gavin Kirkland: Few quick kicks to the midsection of Duke who’s against the corner before winding up and throwing a hard lef-DUKE SLIPS BY IT AND VEENA IS NOW IN THE CORNER! A palm strike by Duke on Veena’s chest followed by an elbow strike and a series of punches before he hops on the second rope!
Eve: Veena’s smart she quickly moves under him and away to the center of the ring but Donovan is quickly turning and moves toward her. She turns around and gets a shoot kick to the leg! He follows it with a kick to the chest that gets Veena reeling against the ropes.
Deadprez: Again she moves her upper body through the middle ropes and Donovan goes to hit her with a punch SHE GOES UPSIDE DOWN LIKE A TABLE SOCCER PLAYER!! DUKE HITS HER AGAIN AS SHE SWINGS BACK UP AND SHE GOES UPSIDE DOWN AGAIN! HE HITS HER A FEW TIMES THIS WAY TO THE DELIGHT OF THE CROWD!!
Gavin Kirkland: The last punch sends her crumbling down the outside of the ring. Veena tries to create separation but Duke is pressing on striking at her against the barricades surrounding the ring. He throws a double ax handle to her back forcing her against the barricade AND HE SMACKS HER HEAD AGAINST IT!!
Eve: To her knees goes Adams as she tries to her up BUT THEN SHE SUDDENLY GRABS DUKE BY THE WAIST HOISTING HIM UP AND DROPPING HIM WITH THE BARRICADE BETWEEN HIS LEGS!!! DONOVAN’S FACE SAYS IT ALL FOLKS!!
Deadprez: AND VEENA WITH A CLOTHESLINE KNOCKING DUKE OFF OF IT!
Veena Adams: Awww poor bastard. Here, you thirsty?
Deadprez: She grabs a beer from a nearby fan and splashes the content of it all over Duke! She’s looking to humiliate the Champion as she then moves him into a headlock and repeatedly pummels him over the head before the official can start counting!
Gavin Kirkland: Veena in control of the match at the moment as she moves to whip Duke towards a corner post BUT HE REVERSED IT AND SHE ENDS UP SMACKING LIPS ON THE COLD POST!! DOWN TO A KNEE SHE GOES But Duke sends her inside the ring.
Eve: He moves up the apron and cleans his boots off before getting inside, a sign of respect to the business and the sanctity of the ring as he then goes on the attack! Going for basic moves as he scoop slams Mister Dedede’s niece to the ground, he picks her up by the back of the head and repeats the manoeuver! And he goes for it a third time!! Veena looks in a whole lot of pain and Duke moves to the nearest corner he’s thinking high risk!
Deadprez: This could pay off big or blow in his face hard but look at Veena rolling out of dodge and towards the opposite corner! Duke hops down from the corner and charges towards her BUT SHE MOVES AWAY AND DONOVAN ENDS UP SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE CORNER POST!!
Gavin Kirkland: Great ring awareness by the Princess who now is moving towards Duke like a shark that smells blood and she brings Duke near us putting his arm the announcer table! She puts a feet on it AND STEPS ON OUR TABLE PUTTING ALL HER WEIGHT ON IT!! SHE THEN DROPS A KNEE ON IT AS SHE SLIDES OFF THE TABLE!
Eve: The crowd is booing massively but Veena doesn’t care what so ever waving them off dismissively with a hand as she grabs Duke by the head and whips him back inside the ring.
Veena Adams: What a joke! I can’t believe you actually managed to defeat my uncl-UGH!!
Deadprez: Duke fights back Veena’s lip with a knife-edge chop! Followed by another! Veena is staggering and Duke throws a straight out punch her way and it lands on target! The Champion then throws an elbow before going to the ropes AND HE GETS TAKEN DOWN WITH A JAPANESE ARMDRAG!!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke gets quickly up to his feet but he gets stopped by a knee to the gut and Veena moves to scoop slam him as well! She goes for it a second time! And a third time! COVER!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: The Champ kicks out at one! Veena stares daggers at the official who confirms the one count she shrugs. Moving to her feet she goes to the official’s face arguing that he should be counting faster and he isn’t doing his job right!
Veena Adams: If you end up costing me the match I’m going to kick your a-AAAAAHHH!!!!
Eve: DONOVAN WITH THE SUPRISE ROLL-UP!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
THREEEEE-
Eve: VEENA WITH THE SHOULDER UP!! DONOVAN ALMOST HAD HER!!!
Deadprez: Donovan with a headlock now and a knee to the ground before he moves himself and her upward and then throws Veena into the ropes, he hits the deck and she hops over him. Into the ropes, she goes as he gets up and-
Eve: SPEAR!!! SPEAR!!!! THE SPEAR BY VEENA ADAMS!!!! THIS COULD BE A TURNING POINT EARNY ON IN THIS MATCH!!! COVER BY VEENA!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Eve: DUKE WITH THE SHOULDER UP KEEPS HIS TITLE REIGN ALIVE!!!
Deadprez: Veena goes ”UGH!!!” in annoyance as she felt she had this bagged with the ode to her uncle our founding father Ryan Adams. She looks down at Duke with scorn he who is slowly getting up but clutching at his side. Veena to the ropes now rushing at him AND POUNCES OVER HIM WITH THE THEZ PRESS!!! DOWN THEM GO AND SHE THROWS DOWN PUNCHES AFTER PUNCH EACH LOOKING STIFFER THAN THE OTHER ON THE HEAD AND FACE OF DONOVAN!!
Gavin Kirkland: She gets off of him and goes to the ropes before making his way back to him and dropping an elbow onto him before talking heavy smack to him! Veena is very aggressive right now as she gets the Champion to his feet before striking hard at him with a Kesagiri chop square on his neck!
Eve: Donovan holds to his neck a moment, staggering backward but Veena closes the gap fast scooping him up and slamming him down before moving to the nearby corner, to the top rope Veena’s thinking high risk AND SHE PLUNGES INTO A CORKSCREW ELBOW DROP! IT LANDS ON DONOVAN WITH DEADLY PRECISION!
Deadprez: She quickly does a kip-up to get to her feet, the crowd boos her and she looks out there with a rolling of the eyes as she then waits on Donovan to start getting back to his feet BEFORE STRIKING HIM WITH A CARTWHEEL KICK! Down goes Duke and Veena move to the ropes behind him, he is getting up while she gives herself momentum dashing his way, AND SLAMMING HIM DOWN WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG!!
Veena Adams: Come on Duke, this is getting sad in here.
Gavin Kirkland: The Princess is in control now as she circles around Donovan smacking him behind the head AND THEN GOES FOR THE TREE OF WOE!! SHE HAS IT LOCKED IN AND DONOVAN ISN’T ABLE TO GET AWAY FROM IT!! HIS ARMS ARE FLAILING!!!!
Eve: DUKE IS TRYING TO MOVE WITH VEENA SNAKED AROUND HER!! HE IS CLOSE TO THE ROPES IS HE GOING TO GRAB ON AND SURVIVE BEFORE HIS BODY GIVES IN???
…
…
…
Eve: HIS HANDS ARE SHAKING!!!
Gavin Kirkland: I SEE HIM TAP!!!! HE’S TA-
Deadprez: NO HE ISN’T!!! HIS HANDS WERE JUST SHAKING AND DUKE MANAGES SOMEHOW SOMEWHAT TO GRAB ONTO THE ROPES!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: I could’ve sworn I saw his hands tap.
Eve: You get too excited sometimes Gavin, makes you see things wrong. Calm down a bit eh bud?
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah…
Deadprez: Meanwhile inside the ring Veena slips away from Donovan right before the official could call a count of five she’s been looking to inflict more damage on him but it wasn’t enough to put the man away!
Gavin Kirkland: Veena moves to Donovan with a leg sweep followed by a scissors stomp followed by a stiff elbow smash! Duke to his back now and Adams throw down heavy MMA-style strikes chained by elbow strikes and some palms! She gets up and waits for her opponent to get vertical before taking him down with a single-leg takedown AND THEN THE ANKLE LOCK!! SHE’S GOT THE ANKLE LOCK IN!!!
Eve: BUT DUKE MANAGES TO REACH TO THE ROPES!! YET VEENA DOESN’T CARE AS SHE KEEPS THE HOLD LOCKED IN UNTIL THE OFFICIAL ALMOST CALLS IT. She finally lets him go, what damage will that have brought to Duke’s mobility?
Deadprez: Veena moves away from Duke leaning lazily against the ropes and looking down on Donovan BEFORE CHARGING AT HIM WITH A JUMPING HIGH KNEE THAT CONNECTS!! DOWN GOES DUKE and she grabs hold of a leg of his setting him up for A SINGLE LEG CRAB!! She’s pulling with all the force she can muster and Duke is in a world of hurt!!
Veena Adams: I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY DONOVAN!!! ALL FUCKING DAY!!!!
Deadprez: That mouth on that woman.
Gavin Kirkland: She let go of Donovan’s leg BEFORE GRABBING AT HIS WAIST AND DEADLIFT HIM INTO AN OVERHEAD SUPLEX WOAH!!! DUKE LANDS ALMOST SQUARE ON HIS NECK WITH THAT MANOEUVER!! Donovan remains down for a moment which is enough it seems for Veena to head to a corner and hop on the top turnbuck;e. She’s thinking high risk folks as Donovan is slowly moving to his feet. SHE DESCENDS UPON HIM WITH A DIVING CROSS BODY!!! Perfectly executed!!!
Eve: Agreed! The crowd boos her efforts as she gets to her feet before Duke does and takes him back down to the mat with a springboard knee strike that could break a nose as it smacked him in the face hard!! Duke, ever the resilient man showing heart is moving to get back to his feet despite the pain of Adams’ latest string of attacks and she continues on that sequence with a running European uppercut! Donovan backs himself into a corner and gets another uppercut then some body shots and some elbows to the face BEFORE SITTING DOWN AGAINST THE CORNER FOLLOWING AN ENZIGUIRI FROM VEENA!!
Deadprez: Veena with a boot to the neck of Donovan for as long as she can, until the referee starts counting and takes it off Donovan’s neck just before she could get disqualified before she rushes to the opposite corner and then quickly turns and dashes to Donovan COLLIDING INTO HIM WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK!!! She quickly gets up and repeats the motion but the end result is a RUNNING KNEE TO DUKE’S FACE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: She then moves him to stand up and sends him flying with a rolling underhook suplex! She holds onto Donovan and repeats the motion! BLAM another suplex and then a THIRD ONE!! She calls that sequence the Effective and she goes for a cover right after the third suplex!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: DUKE WITH THE SHOULDER UP!!!!!!
Veena Adams: WHAT???
Eve: Apparently Veena can barely believe Donovan kicked out of that one! She goes up, he follows forced by her and gets Irish whipped into a corner quickly followed by an elbow smash! She goes to the opposite corner before charging in BUT DUKE STEPS ASIDE AND VEENA GOES AGAINST THE CORNER POST!!!
Deadprez: Donovan now looking to get control of the match following quite a brutal sequence from his opponent ad a few near falls! Veena is thrown into the ropes and bounces her way back towards the Champion WHO CLOCKS HER WITH OLE RELIABLE!!! A STRAIGHT RIGHT HOOK TO THE JAW TAKES DOWN MISTER DEDE’S NIECE!!
Gavin Kirkland: This looks like it surprised Veena who’s getting back to her feet but she gets quickly clotheslined back down! She gets up fairly quickly again ONLY to be taken down once more by a clothesline! AND A THIRD ONE! Veena refuses to stay down BUT SHE GET’S TAKEN DOWN AGAIN THIS TIME THANKS TO A LARIAT!! Duke almost looks amused at this point as he dares Adams to get vertical again and just as she does but slower than before he gets her in a military press position!! He’s Bench Pressing Her!!!
Eve: He does a few reps with her AND THEN MOVES HER TO A VERTICAL SUPLEX POSITION KEEPING HER UP IN A CANDLE POSITION!!! Okay at this point the Champion is showing off! We know he’s strong AND THEN HE DRILLS VEENA DOWN WITH A POWERSLAM!!! COVER BY THE CHAMPION!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Eve: And Veena lifts the shoulder up! And this match continues!!
Deadprez: Donovan moves back to a vertical position and brings Veena along with him. Knee to the midsection before moving to her side and taking her down with him with a swinging neckbreaker. He doesn’t let go of her however as he forces her to her feet, into the ropes she’s thrown followed by a kick to the gut AND A DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke doesn’t seem to be done as he moves upward with a kip-up and then waits for Veena to get up BEFORE GRABBING HER BY THE HEAD AND DRILL IT TO THE MAT WITH A SIT-OUT FACEBUSTER!!!
Eve: Look At Duke Doing Push-Ups next to Veena!!
Donovan Duke: I can do this all day too, bitch!
Eve: The crowd loves it!! Veena looks dazed and offended, I mean confused as she is now on her knees holding her jaw and Duke doesn’t give her much of a break. He scoops her on his shoulders into a fireman’s carry and takes her down WITH A SIDEWALK SLAM!! He moves to get her up once more, whipping her into the ropes AND GOES FOR A FALLAWAY SLAM FOLLOWED BY A COVER!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
THHR-
Deadprez: VEENA KICKS OUT!! That one was close!
Gavin Kirkland: It sure was! But the Princess isn’t going to be disposed of so easily! She is going to fight for a chance to be known as Champion! GO VEENA!!!!!
Eve: You have to commend her for the resilience she is putting on display along with her heart even if she is rather heartless.
Gavin Kirkland: Hey now.
Eve: Regardless, she is moving up and to her knees BEFORE GETTING A FACE FULL OF DONOVAN’S WHO RAN TO HER!! She doesn’t go down but she is on her knees. To the ropes goes Duke who leaps off the second rope AND BRINGS DOWN ADAMS WITH A HURRICANRANA!!!!
Deadprez: Veena in trouble once more as she is moving to her hands and knees, Duke is back to a vertical base positioning himself behind her AND THROWS HER OVER HIS HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!!! VEENA FLIES TO THE CENTER OF THE RING and gets up stumbling. She’s staggering AND GETS TAKEN DOWN WITH A SITOUT JAWBREAKER!!
Gavin Kirkland: This doesn’t bode well for the chances Veena has to prove to herself she has whati it takes to dethrone who many sees as a phony Champion in Donovan Duke!
Eve: Yet, he’s proven time and time again that he has earned every single day of his title reign through defeating incredible opponents INCLUDING her uncle! He was one of the first to fall against Duke actually.
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah… Well… Still!
Deadprez: Look at the Champions he is in a corner prone and stomping the floor, are we going to see a superkick? He’s telegraphing it though will Veena pick up on this? SHE DOESN’T!!! AND SHE GETS ALL OF DUKE’S BOOT SQUARE ON HER FACE!!! DOWN GOES THE CHALLENGER!!!
Gavin Kirkland: COME ON VEENA!!! Oh no look at that damn Duke he’s in the corner again and he’s looking for a spear! Is he really going to try and pull Mister Dedede’s signature move to add insult to injury to Veena?
Eve: He’s waiting on her, she’s getting up slowly, there he goes! SHE DUCKS!!! HE GOES TO THE ROPES, SO DOES SHE AND NAILS DUKE WITH THE SPEAAAAAAAAAAAAARRR SPEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR!!! SHE COUNTERED THE SPEAR WITH ONE OF HER OWN!!! COVER BY ADAMS!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
THHR-
Eve: Kickout by Duke!! SHE ROLLS HIM UP THIS TIME SHE HAS THE TIGHTS!! BUT THE OFFICIAL NOTICES AND DOESN’T COUNT HER! She’s livid that she got caught! She goes to argue with the official a second before turning around and-
Deadprez: SHE WALKED RIGHT INTO DONOVAN’S HANDSPRING STUNNER!!!! SHE FLIES TO HER BACK FROM THE IMPACT!!! COVER BY DUKE!! COULD THIS BE ENOUGH???
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
THHR-
Deadprez: VEENA WITH THE SHOULDER UP!! And she rolls to the outside of the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: The sold out Vancouver crowd boos Veena’s decision as Donovan goes after her! He spins her around BUT gets raked to the eyes! Veena tries a comeback with a series of elbows to the head and face of Duke who looks stunned. She goes to the apron, what will she do? She takes a few steps before going for a hurricanra-NAH! NAH SHE IS HELD BY THE LEGS BY DONOVAN! HE HAS HER IN A POWERBOMB POSITION!
Eve: SHE LAYS HER ON OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE BUT IT DOESN’T BREAK AND VEENA BOUNCES ON IT! Wow how did our table didn’t crumble under this?? This is a miracle normally this table’s so fragile!
Deadprez: The official is ordering Duke to take the action back inside the ring, he obliges leaving Veena on our table a… Wait… What is he doing? He’s moving on the top turnbuckle closes to our ta…
Gavin Kirkland: Oh no… No… No no DON’T YOU FRACKING DARE!!!!
Eve: LOOK OUT!!!!!!!!
( CRASSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! FOLLOWED BY A MASSIVE POP FROM THE CROWD!!!!!! )
Deadprez: DONOVAN DUKE WITH A SHOOTING STAR PRESS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND THROUGH VEENA AND OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE THAT EXPLODED TO PIECES!!!! OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!
Crowd: HO-LY SHIT!!! HO-LY SHIT!!! HO-LY SHIT!!! HO-LY SHIT!!! HO-LY SHIT!!! HO-LY SHIT!!! HO-LY SHIT!!!
Deadprez: BOTH DONOVAN AND VEENA AREN’T MOVING SURROUNDED BY TABLE DEBRIS AND THE CROWD IS BLOWING OFF THE ROOF OF ROGERS ARENA!!! WHAT A MOVE BY DONOVAN DUKE!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: SOMEONE PLEASE SENT SOME EMT TO LOOK AFTER THE PRINCESS!!!
Eve: Donovan and Veena thus far have shown us just how far they are willing to go in order to leave Vancouver with a win but more importantly the National Elite Championship! Donovan slowly begins to stir, and so is Veena and the official has no choice now but to start counting them out!
ONE! TWO!!
THREE!!! FOUR!!!!
Deadprez: Both of them are crawling toward the ring!
FIVE!!!!! SIX!!!!!!
SEVEN!!!!!!! EIGHT!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: PLEASE HAVE AT LEAST VEENA MAKE IT IN THERE ON TIME!!!!!
NINE!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: I CAN’T WATCH!!!!!
TEN!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: THEY BOTH MANAGE TO MAKE IT INSIDE THE RING AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!!!!
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Veena though decides to retreat to the outside once again. Donovan is on his back taking a breather but he sees Veena to the outside and heads her way. The official warns them but both are focused on one another!
Eve: VEENA WITH A VIOLENT AND SUDDENLY ELBOW TO THE SIDE OF DONOVAN WHO CRUMBLES ATOP OF THE BARRICADES NEAR THEM!! Suddenly Veena is quickly heading inside the ring seeing Donovan isn’t moving. She’s… Oh no she’s going TOPSIDE!!!!
Deadprez: What can she possibly have in mind?? If she jumps that barricade has no give at all!!
Gavin Kirkland: TWISTED VEEEENNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ITS LIKE AN ANGEL ATHLETICALLY SOARING THROUGH THE SKIES!!!!!
Eve: AND SHE LANDS SQUARE ON TOP OF DONOVAN!!! HOLY HELL HE MAY HAVE HIS RIBS AND MORE BROKEN WITH THIS!!!!!!! WHAT A DARING MOVE BY ADAMS WHO LOOKS LIKE SHE’S HURTING AS WELL BUT SHE IS BACK TO HER FEET! DONOVAN LOOKS LIKE HE’S ALMOST UNCONSCIOUS!!!
Deadprez: SHE’S MOVING HIM INSIDE THE RING AS QUICKLY AS SHE CAN!! THIS MANOENVER COULD’VE SIGNALLED THE END FOR DONOVAN!!! HE’S NOT MOVING!!!! SHE GOES FOR THE COVER!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THIS IS IT!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! HOW DID HE DO THIS????????
Eve: DONOVAN KICKED OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY GAWD!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: VEENA’S SHOCKED SHE CANT’ BELIEVE HER ENEMY JUST CANT BE PUT DOWN ESPECIALLY AFTER THAT BRUTAL TWISTED VEENA AGAINST THE BARRICADE!!!!
Veena Adams: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!! WHY DON’T YOU FUCKING DIIIIIIEEEE?!??!!??!?!?!
Gavin Kirkland: Her screams are sounding shivers down my spine I’m not going to lie.
Deadprez: She wants to end this and she’s going to a corner she’s calling for the Spear again she looks like she could be foaming at the mouth she can sense the end is near. Donovan is slowly getting up, he doesn’t seem to know where she is. She has her teeth clenched she’s seething AND SHE CHARGES!!
Gavin Kirkland: OH NO!!!
Eve: DEALER’S CHOICE!!!! THE SPINNING BACK FIST STOPS VEENA DEAD IN HER TRACKS!!!! DONOVAN HAD HER SCOUTED ALL ALONG!!! Leg sweep from Donovan who picks Veena’s legs and… WE’RE GOING FOR A RIDE FOLKS!!! THE GAMBLER’S ROULETTE!!! ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND DUKE GOES!!!!

Eve: AND HE DROPS VEENA AT TWENTY-FIVE!!! SHE LANDS HARD BUT HE’S A BIT WOOZY HIMSELF!
Deadprez: He goes to a knee holding his head but he has to try and make good on the opening he just made for himself with that massive big swing! Donovan has an incredible opportunity to put this match away and keep his Championship dream alive!
Gavin Kirkland: At this point, I don’t know who’s going to win this match! Duke grabs hold of Veena, whipping her hard against a corner and she crumbles near it flat on her back. Donovan is calling for Stack The Deck! His Phoenix Splash!! HE LEAPS! IT LANDS!!!
Eve: BUT LOOK!!!!!!
Deadprez: VEENA GOT DONOVAN IN THE KILLER QUEEN’S RHAPSODY!!!! SHE’S GOT THE KIMURA LOCK TIGHTLY IN HOW DID SHE EVEN COME UP WITH THAT IDEA??? SHE’S TRYING TO THE THE MATCH NOW SHE’S TRYING TO BREAK DONOVAN’S ARM!!!

…
Eve: HOW IN THE HOLIEST HELL????????
Deadprez: Ladies and gentlemen I can’t believe my eyes! DONOVAN LIFTED THE SHOULDERS AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!!!! VEENA IS SEETHING SHE’S ABOUT TO LOSE HER MARBLES AS SHE HITS THE MAT WITH PUNCHES WITH BOTH HANDS!!!
Gavin Kirkland: She’s looking at the official, if looks could kill he would’ve been vaporized as if Thanos snapped him out of existence! She looks down at Donovan and goes for a wristlock and shoulder lock combo AND BEGINS TO THROW VARIOUS KICKS TO THE HEAD OF DUKE!!!! SHE KICKS AND KICKS AND KICKS SOME MORE!!! DONOVAN TAKES IT ALL AND VEENA IS SCREAMING LIKE A WILD WOMAN!!!!!
Eve: Look at Donovan guys!!! HE’S UNCONSCIOUS!!!!!!
Deadprez: THE OFFICIAL CALLS FOR THE BELL!!!!!!!!!!!
( ‘7 Rings’ by Ariana Grande is heard playing over the sound system of Rogers Arena as Veena goes to her knees her face in utter shock as she is not only having her lead arm raised by the official but is handed the National Elite Championship as well!! )
Gina Romano: THE WINNER OF THIS BOUT…. AND… NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIOON!!! VEEEEEEEEEENAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMS!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE DID IT!!!!! THE PRINCESS DID IT!!!!!!! THE PRINCESS IS A CHAMPION FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HER CAREER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!
( The crowd is massively booing at the new Championship who painfully moves to her feet and goes to hop on the second rope and raises the title proudly over her head. The crowd is hugely displeased but Veena doesn’t give a damn whatsoever! )
Deadprez: We have witnessed an incredible battle between two amazingly gifted individuals tonight folks! We can think what we want of Veena Adams but she has shown us tonight that she had with it takes to become a Champion! She showed heart, she showed her killer instinct and she now and forever will be known as a Championship! Congratulations Veena Adams.
Eve: Let’s not forget the now former Champion though, Donovan Duke deserves a year’s worth of praise for what has been a record-breaking run with the Championship! Love him or hate him the man currently has the longest reign in National Elite Championship history and tonight he fought took and nail in order to keep the belt and go over the year-long mark. I’m sure he is disappointed right now, but if I were him I would be proud and look forward to a great future! Tonight though, Veena is the one who will celebrate.
( The final shot is of Veena making her way up the ramp with the Championship over her head and a massive smile going from ear to ear before the camera switches to somewhere else. )
(Eventually, the Elite Answers Wrestling King of Elite broadcast would return to form as we lapse over to the ringside area, a long shot of the titantron, mini tron, and stage displaying front and center, the ropes of the ring barely in frame. Eventually the stream would have a fade transition to a long shot of the entire arena, as the next match graphic would play on screen.)
(The crowd begins to cheer as we see the upcoming matchup, ready for a World Championship match here tonight. Slowly, the camera pans back to the ring as we see Stephie Love in the center of the ring, holding an EAW-branded microphone.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall…
Crowd: ONE FALL! *but Canadian.*
Stephie Love: AND IT IS FOR THE EAW UNIVERSAAAAL WOOOMENS CHAMPIONSHIIIIPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
(Moments later, ‘Somebody Get Me A Doctor’ by Van Halen would begin to blare through the speakers, as immediately the crowd would react with so much boos. Due to Sienna Jade being a born Canadian, there is absolutely no love shown for Bethany at all, but seemingly, Bethany would not care. As Bethany’s official EAW entrance video displays on the titantron, she would step out through the curtains, a smirk on her face, before standing on the top of the ramp. She would swivel around and pose, before pyro shoots off high into the sky. Eventually, she begins to walk down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, the challenger… hailing from Boca Raton, Florida… weighing in at 125 pounds… SHE IS THE CURRENT ‘EMPRESS OF ELITE’… DR. BETHANY BLUE… M… D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: One year ago, Dr. Bethany Blue defeated one half of IDOL-GUN and former Specialists Champion Miku Sakai in the finals of the returning Empress of Elite tournament, after a hard fought battle. Ever since then, it has been only up for Bethany. Unified Tag Team Championships as The Prescription, Territorial Invasion Brand Warfare Winner, among so much more. Throughout it all, Bethany has remained Empress of Elite, waiting for the perfect time to use it, not believing Harper Lee was the right opponent for her. Following Sheridan Muller’s matchup against Sienna Jade this past Christmas, Bethany struck, and has shown that she wants to dethrone SIENNA… only for this situation to escalate, and escalate, and escalate. Now, this is her chance to become Universal Women’s Champion, finally in her career!
(Dr. Bethany Blue would walk up the steps, and enter the ring, as she stares down the hardcam. She would lift up her finger, and begin to mime three letters…)
Dr. Bethany Blue: E… O… E-
(Bethany would shake her head…)
Dr. Bethany Blue: U… W… C!!!!!
(As she mimes “UWC”, signifying the Universal Women’s Championship, the crowd would boo, before Bethany’s theme slowly fades out. Eventually, ‘Unf**kwithable’ by Deez Nuts would blare through the speakers, as the crowd reaction inverts. Those who were booing begin to cheer. The titantron would display the same entrance video Sienna Jade first came back with all those months ago, as she walks out onto the stage with the Universal Women’s Championship around her waist. She would unhook it, before raising it high into the air, a large amount of pyro firing off behind her. She stares down Bethany, before walking down the ramp, not taking her glare away from her opponent.)
Stephie Love: And introducing the Champion… hailing from CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA!!!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Stephie: SHE IS THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION… SIENNAA JAAAAAAAAADEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Flannery McCoy: It seems the crowd loves their Canadian native here, however, most people do not; especially given what she did to Dr. Bethany Blue’s father! Ever since she and Bethany first came into contact, Sienna did not believe Bethany could ever become World Champion, not in the slightest, but as Bethany did more and more to spite her, Sienna took it too far. She went to Bethany’s medical office, put her father BJ Hardick to sleep using his own equipment, before throwing him through the office window, leaving him hospitalized; all the while Bethany had to watch. Ever since then, Bethany and her have been at each other’s throats… tonight, one of them will walk out with the gold. The other? Broken.
(Sienna Jade would walk up the steps, before entering the ring, and immediately her and Bethany come to odds. The referee would have to separate them, as Sienna raises up the title, yelling that she’ll NEVER earn it, before her theme fades out. Sienna hands the referee the Championship, albeit not willingly, before walking to her corner of the ring…)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The bell rings, and right out the gate, Sienna and Bethany meet in the middle of the ring! Bethany’s looking to apply some holds on the champion, but Jade’s scoping her out and trying to do the same thing! Bethany gets a hold of her arm as she slips out and forces her down onto the mat! However, Sienna rolls forward and trips her legs up! The challenger is down as she’s being restrained with the grounded side headlock.
Jake Mercer: Sienna isn’t just applying the lock either – she’s berating Bethany as she does so! She mushes her face and wrings her head around mockingy! She doesn’t care one bit! She wants to disrespect Bethany more than she has in the past few weeks!
Flannery McCoy: However, Bethany isn’t taking the disrespect kindly at all. She stands up and DRIVES her elbow into Sienna’s gut! The headlock seems to weaken as she’s able to slip from Jade’s grasp and transition over to behind her. Arms lock around the waist. She takes her down to the mat with the textbook slam and floats over to the front. Now, Bethany gives Sienna a shove to the side of her head! Neither of these women are looking to play nice with the other here tonight.
Stew-O: Animosity is brewing, threatening to spill out! Both of them get up, staring daggers into the other as they come forehead-to-forehead. Some jaw jacking goes on. Things are quickly escalating between them! Sienna is talking a lot of trash, but Bethany isn’t backing down! Sienna shoves her! Bethany shoves her back! And Sienna responds with a SLAP right across the face of her opponent!
Jake Mercer: Sienna’s grinning from ear to ear, taunting and teasing Bethany. However, I think she should be careful because Bethany doesn’t seem to be taking the cheap shot lightly at all!
Flannery McCoy: Could you blame her? That was a complete lack of respect show there! Anyone would be upset– AND RIGHTFULLY SO AS BETHANY ANSWERS WITH A SICKENING FOREARM SMASH THAT ALMOST TAKES HER OFF HER FEET! Sienna looks stunned, but most importantly, she looks at Beth as if to say ‘how dare she’! She gathers herself quickly and closes the distance between her and the challenger, coming in hot with a forearm shot of her own!
Stew-O: It hits Bethany, who takes a few stumbles back. Sienna rushes after her, but she’s met with a big boot! Bethany picks her up, looking for a scoop slam– Sienna slips out of it! She ducks low, getting the chop block! She goes for a quick cover!
ONEEEEEEEE–
Jake Mercer: Kickout! Bethany pops back up, but Sienna cuts her down AGAIN with a sweep to the legs. Another pin attempt here!
ONEEEEEEEEE–
Flannery McCoy: Bethany with another quick kickout! She gets up, and Sienna meets her there. She goes for a slap, but IT’S BLOCKED! Bethany was able to scout that out and wastes zero time! She tackles her to the ground and sends punch after punch into the head of the champion! Blow after blow! Sienna brings her forearms up to try and block the barrage of attacks, but most of them are STILL breaking through that guard! Bethany is lighting her up here!
Stew-O: And it’s almost uncharacteristic to see Bethany attack in this manner! She can be relentless, but in a more tactical way. She’s more likely to try and dissect an opponent than outright overwhelm with such a barrage of heavy shots! However, Sienna crossed the line by going after her father, and now she’s paying the price for it!
Jake Mercer: Looks like Bethany is trying to turn that rage into something more up her alley though as she focuses on the arms of Sienna Jade! She traps them within her own as she forces the champion to her stomach! She steadies her head onto the mat and goes up… CATTLE MUTILATION! She’s got the double underhook applied, doing a lot of damage here early on!
Flannery McCoy: Sienna’s trying to escape, but with a hold like this, it’s hard to just simply slip out of it! She’s looking for any way she can get out, flailing her legs about… foot on the rope! She was close enough to stretch her leg back and get the rope break! Bethany lets go, but she’s DRAGGING her to the center of the ring!
Stew-O: Sienna goes to kick at Bethany, but her foot is caught! Bethany stomps down on her before twisting the ankle and going to the ground with the lock applied! Sienna struggles as she’s once again trapped by the challenger!
Jake Mercer: Man, you want to talk about being vicious? Bethany’s been on Sienna right from the get-go. The doctor is looking to dissect her here tonight!
Flannery McCoy: Oh, but Sienna’s turning onto her stomach and claws her way towards the ropes! She quickly grabs onto them! However, Bethany isn’t letting go! If anything, she’s TIGHTENING the ankle lock!
Sienna Jade: (off-mic) GET OFF OF ME ALREADY!!!
Stew-O: The referee is initiating the count! Bethany gives the ankle a tweak as Sienna howls out! Finally, she lets go at the count of four, and the champion slips from underneath the bottom rope to recuperate on the outside. Bethany stands up and watches as Sienna feels out her ankle.
Dr. Bethany Blue: (off-mic) What’s wrong? Scared? I thought you were supposed to be ‘The Greatest’.
Sienna Jade: (off-mic) Shut up! You’re never going to beat me, let alone even TOUCH me inside of that ring.
Dr. Bethany Blue: (off-mic) Yet, didn’t I just do that? :mjlol:
Sienna Jade: (off-mic) Oh, you little…!
Jake Mercer: Sienna slides back into the ring, and Bethany is prepared! The challenger rushes at her with a clothesline… Sienna ducks! She hits the ropes and comes back with the hurricanrana! Bethany rolls forward, but quickly gets back to her feet! She spins, going for the ripcord forearm–
Flannery McCoy: Sienna kicks the attacking arm away! Bethany’s spins, and as she turns around, she gets taken down with an arm drag! She’s back on her feet! Bethany tries to go for another attack, but Sienna takes her down AGAIN with a quick arm drag! Blue rolls towards the turnbuckle where she’s sitting in the corner. Sienna runs after her! Double knees–
Stew-O: No! Bethany gets out of the way! Sienna is met with nothing as her knees hit the turnbuckles! She stands and backs up as she checks her knees, but her opponent is right behind her! Bethany grabs her! German suplex–
Jake Mercer: NO! SIENNA LANDS ON BOTH FEET AS SHE FLIPS BACK! Bethany turns around, and Jade hits her with a clothesline–
Flannery McCoy: AND BETHANY HITS HER WITH ONE AS WELL! BOTH WOMEN STAGGER! THEY GO RIGHT BACK AT EACH OTHER, BUT AGAIN, THEY HIT EACH OTHER WITH THE SAME MOVE! NEITHER WOMEN IS GOING DOWN!
Stew-O: AND NOW WE HAVE AN ALL-OUT WAR AS BETHANY AND SIENNA HIT EACH OTHER WITH RAPID-FIRE FOREARMS! ONE AFTER THE OTHER! THEY SEEM TO GO FASTER AND FASTER, EATING EACH OTHER AS HARD AS POSSIBLE!
Jake Mercer: They really are slugging it out! Bethany! Sienna! Bethany! Sienna! SIENNA! SIENNA! SHE GOES LOW AND KICKS HER IN THE GUT! NOW, SIENNA HITS THE ROPES AND COMES BACK WITH A SUNSET FLIP! PIN ATTEMPT HERE!
ONEEEEEEEE–
Flannery McCoy: Bethany rolls back to get out of it and flips over, pinning Sienna with the jackknife!
ONEEEEEEEE-
Stew-O: Sienna kicks out! Both Elitists spring up to their feet where they meet each other yet again. Bethany takes a swing, but Sienna grabs her arm! She takes hold of the other arm and spins her around! Backslide pin!
ONEEEEEEEEEEE-
Jake Mercer: Kickout! Bethany and Sienna rise with their arms still locked with each other– KNEE TO THE FACE BY THE CHALLENGER! Sienna stumbles back! However, she gets grabbed and is sent down with a TIGER SUPLEX! Bethany covers her up!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Flannery McCoy: Kickout by Sienna who’s holding onto her neck. She sits up… basement dropkick! Bethany levels her and now she’s sizing her up! Elbow drop! Sienna tries to sit up, but the doctor isn’t giving her a moment of reprieve! Bethany goes behind her and CRANKS at that neck! Now, she’s just trying to pick her apart, body part by body part!
Jake Mercer: Seems like a sound strategy! Sienna’s a very versatile competitor, so if Bethany can weaken her everywhere, it’ll be hard for the champion to adapt and float between styles! We’ve seen her go fast, take risks, and even have some sound technical game, but with Beth meticulously breaking her down like this, she’ll be the one to set the pace in this match instead of her.
Stew-O: Bethany is in full control as she turques the neck of the champion. Sienna sends some elbows behind, but the attacking arm is trapped! Bethany grabs the other arm and loops it underneath her left as she uses the right arm to reciprocate some elbows to the chest! Sienna has to deal with the full brunt of those attacks! No guarding, no protecting!
Jake Mercer: Dr. Bethany Blue is in her element here! She lets go and delivers a WICKED forearm to the back of Sienna’s head! We get a cover here as she pins her shoulders to the mat!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TW–
Flannery McCoy: Kickout! Bethany grabs Sienna and takes her up. She lifts her up, getting her to a vertical base! She’s holding her up there! Oh, all of that blood has got to be rushing down right now! Sienna is starting to look a little disoriented!
Stew-O: And she’s going to take a hard tumble as Bethany falls back, crashing her down into the mat! She’s down! The challenger is up. She heads over to the turnbuckles as the champion is in the right position for her to take advantage of. Bethany scales up to the second turnbuckle and looks down at Sienna. So far, she hasn’t budged! This could be bad for her! Bethany takes off and comes down with the knee drop–
Jake Mercer: Sienna rolls away! She actually was able to get out of the way! Bethany rolls forward as she’s met with nothing on the mat! She gets up, checking out her knee. She sees Sienna and walks towards her– SMALL PACKAGE! SIENNA CAUGHT HER BY SURPRISE!
ONEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOO–
Flannery McCoy: Bethany is able to kick out of it, though! Still, it seems like Sienna’s experience is coming out to play here as she was playing possum! Bethany gets up and goes to her, but the champion grabs her by the ankle and trips her up! Bethany falls face-first into the canvas! Now, Sienna gets up and starts to stomp down RELENTLESSLY! She’s unloading everything onto her!
Stew-O: Bethany gets up, but she’s hit with a ROUNDHOUSE KICK! She staggers! Sienna grabs her by the wrist and whips her towards the corner. She closes the distance with a LEAPING CORNER KNEE STRIKE HITTING THE DOCTOR IN THE FACE! Wow! Bethany stumbles out of the corner, right into the waiting arms of Sienna Jade! Northern Lights Suplex!
Jake Mercer: And she isn’t done! Sienna’s quickly mounting a comeback with the DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! Bethany clutches onto her stomach in pain! She sits up, and Sienna sees her! The champion, thinking quickly, runs to the ropes and comes back with her leg ready to attack! PENALTY KICK! Bethany is down! However, Sienna is up and she’s got her smirk on. She gives herself a pat on the back and pins!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOO–
Flannery McCoy: Bethany gets the shoulder up. Sienna takes hold of her arm and forces her to stand. With the wrist grab, she SLAPS her right across the face! The challenger looks wobbly on her feet! Another hard smack is given! Sienna whips her into the ropes! On the rebound, Sienna catches her with a spinning back heel kick! Bethany drops down to one knee! Things aren’t looking too good for her right now…
Stew-O: AND SIENNA JADE JUST HIT THE ROPES AND CAME BACK WITH A SPIKING HURRICANRANA, DROPPING BETHANY RIGHT ON THE HEAD! SHE’S DOWN!
Jake Mercer: Now it’s Sienna who’s the relentless one here! She pops up and CRASHES down onto Bethany with the senton! She stands and runs to the ropes! She springs off of the middle rope and lands all of her weight on her with a beautiful springboard moonsault! We talked earlier about Sienna being able to set the pace with her matches, and now, we’re seeing that one full display here! The champion is back in control.
Flannery McCoy: Sienna looked like she was about to cover her there, but backed out of the decision! She’s shaking her head, laughing! Seems like she’s got more in store for Bethany here tonight!
Stew-O: Bad intentions are brewing as the champion rises. She lands a harsh stomp onto the challenger. Another stomp to the head and Sienna grabs her. Forcing Bethany up, she sends her down with an authoritative suplex! However, she isn’t letting go! She rolls to the side and stands, taking Blue up with her. Another suplex! Again, she doesn’t let go! Both women are back up and Sienna lifts her into the air! She’s KEEPING her up there! She’s doing the same thing Bethany did to her! All of that blood is rushing to her head! Bethany isn’t moving!
Jake Mercer: AND SHE ISN’T GOING TO MOVE! BRAINBUSTER! ONCE AGAIN, SIENNA SPIKES HER HEAD INTO THE CANVAS! THE CHAMPION GOES FOR THE PIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO–
Flannery McCoy: Shoulder is up, but it’s starting to look a little weak! One can only imagine just how loopy Bethany is after that onslaught! Still, Sienna seems to be mirroring her aggression because she’s on top and raining down some heavy-handed fists onto her head! Bethany can BARELY cover herself up here to try and offset some of the blows!
Stew-O: A mean streak is coming into play here as Sienna forces her up and takes her down with a snap neckbreaker! The champion is doing anything she can in order to wear the doctor down and force her to expend energy.
Flannery McCoy: The Doctor is still down as Sienna puts her knee in her spine AND PULLS HER BACK BY THE HAIR! HORRIBLE CONTORTION FOR THE DOCTOR AND THE REFEREE IS ADMONISHING THE CHAMPION!
Referee: Come on, Sienna. Break the hold! BREAK IT NOW! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIV-
Jake Mercer: Sienna lets her go at four and she would have been disqualified on five. That necessarily wouldn’t have been a bad thing since the title would NOT have changed on a disqualification.
Stew-O: I don’t think Sienna’s ego would have let her win like that. She wants to make a statement with this match. She pulls Bethany by the hair back into a sitting position AND SHE KICKS THE DOCTOR RIGHT IN THE SPINE!
Flannery McCoy: The Doctor has been on the rails for the last few minutes as the Champion has been in firm control of this match. Jade pulls Bethany back up to her feet by the hair and whips her to the ropes.
Jake Mercer: Sienna puts her head down as Bethany rebounds AND BETHANY WITH A BOOT RIGHT TO THE FACE! SIENNA DIDN’T SEE THAT COMING AS SHE POPS BACK UP! The Doctor looks to whip Jade to the ropes BUT PULLS HER BACK AND CLOBBERS HER WITH A RIPCORD FOREARM!
Stew-O: Another shot right to the face and the challenger is building up a little bit of momentum as she doubles Jade over and hits the ropes before DROPPING THE CHAMPION WITH A RUNNING KNEE LIFT! THREE DIRECT SHOTS TO THE FACE AND SIENNA JADE GOES DOWN!
Jake Mercer: This is what the challenger needs to do! She needs to try and keep the champion grounded and do as much damage as she can to win this match and we know that she wants this match so bad.
Stew-O: The Doctor pulls up Sienna and whips her into the turnbuckle. Here comes the Doctor running in and SIENNA GETS A KNEE UP IN BETHANY’S FACE AND SENDS HER STAGGERING BACK AND SIENNA FOLLOWS UP WITH A SLINGBLADE CLOTHESLINE!
Flannery McCoy: The Doctor is down again as Sienna climbs up to the second rope. The Doctor gets back to her feet, but she has her back turned to Sienna AND SIENNA JUMPS FROM THE SECOND ROPE FOR A CLOTHESLINE–
Jake Mercer: BETHANY CAUGHT THE ARM! BETHANY BLOCKED THE CLOTHESLINE! NOW THE DOCTOR SPINS HER AROUND AND PLANTS HER WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! JADE DROPPED ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD!
Flannery McCoy: The Doctor is back on the attack as Sienna tries to roll away to the outside BUT BETHANY CATCHES HER! BETHANY HAS HOLD OF ONE OF SIENNA’S LEGS AS SHE BROUGHT BACK HER HER FEET! Bethany is ready to strike, but Sienna is… laughing?
Stew-O: I don’t what would be funny in the middle of a World Championship match, but here we go. What could be going through Sienna Jade’s mind right now?
Sienna Jade: (off-mic) I bet your dad hits harder than you.
Jake Mercer: WELL THAT WAS UNNECESSARY! NO NEED TO DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT! What disrespect being shown by the Champion.
Stew-O: It looks like it’s about to backfire because THE DOCTOR THROWS THE LEG DOWN AND CLOTHESLINES SIENNA OVER THE TOP ROPE, BUT JADE MANAGES TO HOLD ONTO THE ROPES AND STAY ON THE APRON!
Flannery McCoy: BUT THAT DOESN’T MATTER! BETHANY GRABS THE BACK OF SIENNA’S HEAD AND RUSHES HER TO THE CORNER AND CRACKS HER SKULL AGAINST THE RING POST! BUT BETHANY STILL ISN’T LETTING GO!
Jake Mercer: SHE YANKS SIENNA OVER THE TOP ROPE AND BRINGS HER BACK IN THE RING THE HARD WAY! Jade is down on the mat and Bethany grabs Sienna’s legs and gets positioned by the turnbuckle.
Flannery McCoy: Bethany falls back for the slingshot AND JADE MEETS THE TURNBUCKLE! SHE STUMBLES BACK INTO THE DOCTOR WHO TAKES HER BACK DOWN WITH A BACK SUPLEX!
Stew-O: Instead of going for the cover she picks up Sienna and puts her in the corner in the proverbial Tree of Woe. Dangerous position for Sienna Jade as Bethany backs up to the opposite corner.
Jake Mercer: Bethany runs full speed AND CATCHES SIENNA RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH A DROPKICK! JADE FALLS BACK AND CRASHES TO THE MAT! BETHANY GRABS A LEG AND DRAGS HER TO THE CENTER OF THE RING BEFORE GOING FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOO!
THHHHHRRRRR–
Stew-O: SIENNA STILL POWERS OUT AT TWO! The last thing she wants to do is lose this match and lose her title this soon into her title reign but the longer this match goes, the more this match can easily turn into the favor of the challenger.
Flannery McCoy: Bethany once again brings Sienna back to her feet and looks to whip her to the ropes, but instead she fires off a forearm in Sienna’s face. Repeated forearms sends Sienna back up against the ropes and that’s when Sienna gets whipped to the ropes–
Stew-O: SIENNA COUNTERS AND BETHANY GOES FOR THE RIDE! Bethany with a rebound AND SHE IS MET WITH A CHOP FROM SIENNA JADE ACROSS THE CHEST! Sienna whips Bethany into the corner and quickly follows.
Jake Mercer: ANOTHER CHOP FROM SIENNA JADE THAT LIGHTS UP THE DOCTOR’S CHEST! Now Sienna has the facelock and the Doctor is put on the top turnbuckle. The Champion quickly follows and tries to hook Bethany’s head again for a superplex–
Flannery McCoy: BETHANY IS FIGHTING IT! BETHANY TRYING TO BLOCK IT IN ANY WAY SHE CAN! BETHANY WITH A HEADBUTT AND THAT KNOCK SIENNA OFF THE TURNBUCKLES!
Jake Mercer: LOOK AT THIS! JADE QUICKLY BACK UP ONTO THE SECOND ROPE AND SHE FIRES OFF A ROUNDHOUSE KICK THAT KNOCKS BETHANY A LITTLE LOOPY! NICE SHOT BY THE CHAMPION!
Flannery McCoy: That’s exactly what she needed to do as she stays on the second rope and successfully hooks Bethany AND THEY BOTH COME OFF THE TURNBUCKLES WITH A DANGEROUS LOOKING SUPERPLEX BY THE CHAMPION!
Stew-O: BOTH WOMEN ARE DOWN FOR THE MOMENT, BUT IT IS SIENNA JADE WHO STARTS MOVING FIRST! Sienna took some damage from that superplex, but she is still able to make it to Bethany with the lateral press and the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEE–
Jake Mercer: WHAT A NEAR FALL! DOCTOR BETHANY KICKS OUT WITH AUTHORITY! She is showing that this match is not over yet. Not by a long shot. The last thing Dr. Bethany Blue wants Sienna Jade to do is beat her in this match and retain her title.
Stew-O: The Champion knows to keep a level head and not lose her temper, but she is trying to wear her challenger down. So Sienna mounts the Doctor and just starts throwing straight right hands into her challenger’s face.
Flannery McCoy: The referee admonishing Sienna Jade once again but this time to open up those closed fists. The referee reaches four AND SIENNA IS GLARING AT THE REFEREE! SHE IS PROBABLY GETTING ANNOYED WITH THEIR PRESENCE RIGHT NOW!
Stew-O: Well the ref is doing their job as Sienna brings Bethany back to her feet and wraps her arms around the Doctor’s waist BEFORE LIFTING FOR A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX, BUT BETHANY IS BLOCKING IT!
Jake Mercer: Sienna tries again and manages to get Bethany on her shoulders before BETHANY MANAGES TO GET FREE AND TRIES TO ROLL SIENNA UP WITH THE SUNSET FLIP! SIENNA TRYING TO KEEP HER BALANCE AND SHE DOES!
Flannery McCoy: SIENNA TRIES TO JUST DROP DOWN BUT BETHANY MOVES AND SIENNA FINDS NOTHING BUT THE CANVAS! She won’t sprain any ankles where she landed. BUT HERE COMES BETHANY WITH ANOTHER KNEE–
Jake Mercer: BUT SIENNA FALLS BACK! JADE TAKES THIS MOMENT TO TRY A ROLLUP OF HER OWN! BETHANY IN THE SCHOOLBOY ROLLUP, BUT BETHANY ROLLS THROUGH IT AND GOES FOR A LOW DROPKICK!
Stew-O: AGAIN SIENNA AVOIDS THE MOVE AND BETHANY MEETS THE CANVAS! Sienna Jade is back up to her feet and grabs the Doctor’s legs AND FLIPS THROUGH WITH A JACKKNIFE PIN–
Flannery McCoy: BETHANY SHIFTS HER WEIGHT AND SIENNA LOSES GRIP ON THE LEGS! Bethany has a waistlock on Sienna. Sienna’s shoulders are down, BUT BEFORE THE REFEREE CAN COUNT, BOTH WOMEN BRIDGE UP! GREAT POWER SHOWN BY THESE COMPETITORS!
Stew-O: Sienna Jade has the advantage after the bridge up and SIENNA WITH ANOTHER STIFF KICKTO THE BACK OF HER OPPONENT THAT SENDS BETHANY TO HER KNEES! Sienna quickly follows up WITH A KICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND COULD BE IT RIGHT THERE!
Jake Mercer: Bethany is down, but Sienna is not going for the cover. Does she want to do another impactful move or what… in the world is she doing. She’s doing some weird theatrics before she crawls onto Bethany’s back AND SHE JUST RAKES THE CRAP OUT OF IT!
Flannery McCoy: I think that was supposed to cause more insult than it was injury. Either way she rolls Bethany over and goes for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEE–
Jake Mercer: BETHANY GETS THE SHOULDER UP! What a competitive match this has been. All for the honor of leaving King of Elite being called the Universal Women’s Champion. Right now Sienna Jade does not look amused that Bethany is still in this matchup.
Stew-O: Is frustration starting to set in as Sienna has a handful of Bethany’s hair as she starts SCREAMING IN BETHANY’S FACE!
Sienna Jade: (off-mic) WHY? WHY ARE YOU FIGHTING SO HARD! YOU WILL NEVER WIN THIS TITLE? WHY! WON’T! YOU! JUST! STAY! DOWN?!?
Flannery McCoy: As if screaming wasn’t enough, Sienna is just slapping her around as well. That certainly isn’t going to help you. But it looks like Sienna is feeling better as gets back on her feet.
Stew-O: Sienna hits the ropes as Bethany gets to her knees AND THE DOCTOR IS IMMEDIATELY MET WITH A SHINING WIZARD FROM SIENNA JADE! Bethany is back down but not for long as Sienna quickly brings her to her feet AND THIS TIME THE NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX CONNECTS!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHRRREEEEEEE!!
Jake Mercer: BETHANY ROLLS THE SHOULDER UP RIGHT BEFORE THE THREE COUNT! This match has been nothing but entertaining. Neither Champion nor Challenger willing to concede and admit defeat in this match. I better take a picture to remember this moment.
Flannery McCoy: Bring the phone out and the phone gets thrown into the crowd. Anyways, Sienna has this look of ill intention on her face as if what she plans on doing next is not going to be pretty. WHAT IS SHE DOING?
Jake Mercer: She pulls Bethany back to her feet and she rears her fist back… SHE WOULDN’T WOULD SHE? IS SIENNA GOING FOR CODE BLUE? THAT HEART PUNCH IS BETHANY’S FINISHING MOVE! HERE COMES CODE BLUE—
Stew-O: BETHANY AVOIDS THE HEART PUNCH! BETHANY GETS AWAY AND SHE QUICKLY GETS BEHIND SIENNA AND KICKS HER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE TJD SUPERKICK! Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction for those at home.
Flannery McCoy: Sienna is down and Bethany looks to be close to finishing off her opponent and winning her first Universal Women’s Championship. She reaches into her trunks AND SHE PULLS OUT THE INFAMOUS BLACK GLOVE!
Stew-O: SIENNA IS SLOWLY GETTING BACK TO HER FEET AFTER THAT SUPERKICK, BUT I HOPE THAT SIENNA IS READY TO SAY AHHHH!! SIENNA IS ON SPAGHETTI LEGS AS SHE TURNS AROUND—
Jake Mercer: THERE’S THE SAY AHHHH! FROM DR. BETHANY BLUE! SHE HAS IT LOCKED IN AND SIENNA IS SCRAMBLING! SHE IS TRYING TO DO WHATEVER SHE CAN TO GET FREE BECAUSE IF SHE TAPS OR PASSES OUT, SHE LOSES!
Flannery McCoy: THAT MANDIBLE CLAW FROM DR. BETHANY BLUE IS A VERY DANGEROUS MANEUVER AND HAS WON HER NUMEROUS MATCHES IN THE PAST! WILL IT DO IT AGAIN TONIGHT?
Jake Mercer: IT VERY WELL MIGHT AS THE FIGHT FROM SIENNA JADE IS STARTING TO SLOW! SIENNA JADE IS STARTING TO SLOWLY FADE BUT SHE IS STILL GOING! NOW BETHANY IS STARTING TO SLOWLY BRING HER DOWN TO THE MAT!
Stew-O: SIENNA KEEPING HER SHOULDERS OFF THE MAT! VERY SMART BY SIENNA, BUT LOOKS TO ALMOST BE UNCONSCIOUS! WE ARE ABOUT TO HAVE A NEW CHAMPION, BUT WAIT A SECOND!
Flannery McCoy: LIKE IN AN ALMOST DESPERATION ENERGY BURST, SIENNA WRAPS HER ARM AROUND BETHANY’S NECK AND PULLS HER INTO A MODIFIED INSIDE CRADLE! IS JADE GONNA STEAL THIS ONE HERE?
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEE!
Stew-O: BETHANY REVERSES IT! BETHANY ROLLS AND NOW SIENNA’S SHOULDERS ARE ON THE MAT! WILL THE ROLL UP BACKFIRE ON SIENNA JADE?
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: SIENNA KICKS OUT RIGHT BEFORE THREE! Dr. Bethany is the first to her feet since Sienna is still trying to shake off the effects of the Say Ahh!. Sienna backs up to the ropes for the hopes of a quick breather.
Flannery McCoy: It isn’t going to happen since Bethany is closing in on her opponent. Bethany reaches for Sienna, BUT SIENNA WITH A RAKE TO THE EYES BEFORE SENDING THE DOCTOR THROAT FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE ROPE! HOW QUICK THE TIDES TURN!
Jake Mercer: Sienna gets back to her feet as fast as she can and pulls Bethany away from the ropes. Sienna with a facelock as she puts Bethany’s feet on the second rope BEFORE DROPPING HER WITH THE ELEVATED DDT!! BETHANY SPIKED HARD ON THE MAT!
Stew-O: Bethany is down and Sienna slowly gets back to her feet. She drags Bethany’s body over to the corner AND NOW SIENNA JADE IS CLIMBING BACK UP TO THE TOP ROPE! HIGH RISK MOVE ON THE WAY!
Flannery McCoy: Sienna only goes for one move in this position and that’s “Starstruck”! That is Sienna’s variation of the moonsault and it could easily win her the match right here. Bethany still hasn’t moved as SIENNA JADE GOES FOR STARSTRUCK—
Jake Mercer: BETHANY ROLLED AWAY AT THE LAST SECOND, BUT SIENNA JADES MANAGES TO LAND ON HER FEET! ALMOST LIKE SHE KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN! BETHANY TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE LANDING AND DECIDES TO GO FOR THE CUTTER!
Flannery McCoy: SHE CALLS IT “THE REMEDY’ AND IT MIGHT THE REMEDY FOR VICTORY AS SHE JUMPS FOR THE CUTTER, BUT SIENNA SHOVES HER OFF! NOW BETHANY LANDS ON HER FEET AND QUICKLY GRABS SIENNA’S WRIST LOOKING TO WHIP HER TO THE ROPES!
Jake Mercer: SIENNA REVERSES AND BETHANY IS GOING FOR THE RIDE BUT INSTEAD SIENNA YANKS HER BACK AND CLOBBERS HER WITH THE WITCHES HAMMER! RIPCORD ROLLING ELBOW ACROSS THE FACE BUT BETHANY IS STILL ON HER FEET!
Stew-O: SIENNA GRABS HER WRIST AGAIN LOOKING FOR THE IRISH WHIP, BUT AGAIN PULLS HER BACK AND CLOBBERS BETHANY AGAIN WITH THE WITCHES HAMMER! ANOTHER ELBOW TO THE SKULL AND THIS TIME BETHANY GOES DOWN!
Jake Mercer: SIENNA JADE THINKS THIS IS IT! BETHANY IS DOWN AND POSSIBLY OUT AS SIENNA BRINGS HER BACK TO HER FEET! SIENNA WITH THE FACELOCK AND SHE GRABS THE LEG! SIENNA IS LOOKING FOR HER VERSION OF THE BRIDGING FISHERMAN’S SUPLEX THAT SHE CALLS THE RDG! RDG ON THE WAY AS BETHANY IS UP—
Flannery McCoy: BUT BETHANY MANAGES TO BLOCK IT! HOW SHE MANAGED TO DO THAT I DON’T KNOW, ESPECIALLY AFTER TWO ELBOWS TO THE HEAD! JADES CLOBBERS BETHANY’S BACK A NUMBER OF TIMES BEFORE GRABBING THE LEG AND BRINGING HER UP AGAIN! ONCE AGAIN BETHANY BLOCKS IT AND THIS TIME CHANGES COURSE AND NOW SIENNA HAS BEEN LIFTED OFF HER FEET!
Jake Mercer: OH MY GAWD! SIENNA JADE IS NOW UP AND IN POSITION AS DR. BETHANY SITS OUT AND DROPS THE CHAMPION WITH WHIPLASH! VOODOO STYLE DROP BY THE CHALLENGER AND IT CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE SIENNA GOT A CASE A WHIPLASH FROM THAT MOVE!
Flannery McCoy: BUT SHE IS NOT CHOOSING TO GO FOR THE COVER! I wonder what is going through the Doctor’s mind right now. She had the match won. She had the title in her grasp. This could be a mistake.
Jake Mercer: I doubt that! Everything the Doctor does has meaning and this is no different. She wants to make a statement in this match. The crowd is on their feet right now as they believe Dr. Bethany Blue is only a few seconds away from realizing a dream.
Flannery McCoy: That’s a possibility, but she needs to act and act NOW. THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT SHE IS DOING! SIENNA JADE IS BARELY MOVING AS DR. BETHANY BLUE BRINGS HER BACK TO HER FEET! THAT GLOVE FROM THE SAY AHHH!! IS STILL ON HER HAND AS SHE REARS BACK–
Stew-O: CODE BLUE! HEART PUNCH RIGHT ON THE MONEY! EXCLAMATION POINT BY DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE! SIENNA DROPS ONCE AGAIN AND DR. BETHANY BLUE GOES INTO THE COVER! WILL THIS MATCH HAVE A FAIRY TALE ENDING? DO WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION OR DOES THE CHAMPION STILL HAVE SOME ENERGY LEFT?
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Somebody Get Me A Doctor” starts playing throughout the arena once again as the crowd goes absolutely crazy for what they just witnessed here. It is almost deafening as Stephie Love announces the final decision.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen! The winner of this contest…
Stephie Love: AND NEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW! ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE! MMMMMMMMMMMM! DDDDDDDDDDDDD!
(Bethany starts to slowly roll off of Sienna after a very hard fought match. She takes a second to catch her breath as the referee goes over to Stephie Love to retrieve the Championship Belt.)
Stew-O: SHE DID IT! WE HAVE WITNESSED HISTORY BEING MADE HERE IN VANCOUVER! DR. BETHANY BLUE HAS DONE IT! DR. BETHANY BLUE HAS BECOME THE NEW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION!
Flannery McCoy: What a match we just witnessed. Two of some of the best competitors in EAW today left it all on the line. All for the sake of leaving King of Elite as the Universal Women’s Champion.
(Dr. Bethany makes it to her feet as soon as the referee returns. The referee then hands Bethany the Universal Women’s Championship belt and raises her arm in victory. You can clearly see the emotion on her face as she looks up at HER Universal Women’s Championship.)
Jake Mercer: This was much more than just a match for Dr. Bethany Blue. This was years of hard work and dedication for her to reach this moment. She never felt so close to this moment and becoming Empress of Elite last year was the final piece of the puzzle and now she’s a World Champion.
Stew-O: It was also part retribution and revenge that fueled the Doctor. Sienna Jade put her hands on Bethany’s father and we have witnessed what can happen when you lay hands on a mom or dad.
(Bethany takes a second to climb onto the second rope to hold her title high for a moment before she exits the ring and heads up the entrance ramp.)
Flannery McCoy: Whether you like her or you don’t, you have to give credit to the former Champion Sienna Jade. She dominated since her return and proved why she was a dangerous threat as Champion. At this rate, I can easily see her back in the title hunt no doubt about it.
Jake Mercer: If she would have just come into this match without the antics she did, she might be the one leaving with the belt. Unfortunately, what she did lit a fire under the Doctor and it cost her the match and the title. We do offer our congrats to Sienna Jade on a great title reign.
Stew-O: Congrats indeed to Sienna, but tonight belongs to the Doctor. You have got to love moments like this. You can see the pure emotion coming from the NEW Universal Women’s Champion as she continues celebrating her victory. Sienna Jade fought hard and proved why she was a force, but it wasn’t meant to be. Congratulations to Dr. Bethany Blue, our NEW Universal Women’s Champion!
(The final shot shows Dr. Bethany celebrating at the top of the entrance ramp holding the title up high and soaking in the adulation from the Vancouver crowd as the referee is still checking on Sienna as the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(The camera pans to the podium, which rests the Empress of Elite crown.)
Stew-O: That right there, is what these two women are going to be fighting for, right now.
(‘Run This Town’ by Jay-Z featuring Rihanna. The crowd gives a loud negative reception as Serenity Valdez walks out from the back. The rest of the Queen Bees’, Mei Sasaki and Sierra Bradford are right behind her as the three of them look around the crowd in the arena. Serenity turns around and assures them that she has things covered as the rest of the Queen Bees’ head to the back, leaving Serenity by herself.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS THE FINALS OF THE 2023 EMPRESS OF ELITE TOURNAMENT AND IT’S SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!! INTRODUCING FIRST…REPRESENTING DYNASTY…FROM TIJUANA, MEXICO… SHE IS ‘SPITED’…SERENITY VALDEZ!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Serenity Valdez’ path to the finals consisted of Ayu Megumi of the Ice Aces, newcomer Ashlynn Quinn and Caroline, but there’s been talk about how she had an easier time in this tournament?
Stew-O: Ayu, Ashlynn and Caroline are talented competitors. Serenity Valdez did what everyone else did and made the most of her opportunities. Now, there was a clear edge with having someone with lesser experience in the second round in the tournament and perhaps, if this tornament was arranged differently, Serenity might have had things tougher, but the fact is that she’s here.
Deadprez: A former Specialists Champion, who hasn’t really had the same mindset. I know that we were talking about this in the back, Stew and Flann, but it seems like Serenity Valdez has created a bit of a delusion in her mind that they want to see her fall. They don’t want to see her succeed, but what do you think?
Flannery McCoy: But, she’s in the finals. :skip:
Stew-O: She has the power to succeed tonight, DP. She has all the tools to win, but she needs to keep her head straight enough to knock Holly Arrow off her game.
(‘Backlight’ from AmaLee begins to play through the speakers of the Rogers Arena as Holly Arrow comes out, dressed in Gol D. Roger, inspired gear that is pink and yellow. She tops the outfit off with a red and gold pirate king’s cloak as she has a smirk on her face, feeding the energy of the crowd.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT…REPRESENTING SHOWDOWN…FROM AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND…SHE IS THE ‘DEVIL CHILD’ … HOLLY ARROW!!!!!
Deadprez: Now, this is a woman, who really scratched and clawed. She destroyed everyone’s brackets for the Milli Banks/Serenity Valdez finals. She defeated Candice Blair in the first round, Usagi Senshi in the second round and broke that bracket with a victory over Milli Banks to earn her a spot in the finals. This girl truly earned her spot here and I hope that she wins tonight and crushes everyone’s expectations.
Flannery McCoy: Although, according to our little commentating group. We were talking with the other commentators during lunch and how it was basically all of us versus Jake Mercer, betting $5,000 each on who we wanted to win Empress of Elite. We all, but Jake, bet on Holly, so Holly is quite popular with our table.
Stew-O: Gavin Kirkland bet 10k and the last thing that I need is for that man to cry and consume henny for the rest of the weekend.
Deadprez: Well, it’s time to see who is our 2023 Empress of Elite! Is it Holly Arrow? Is it Serenity Valdez? We’re going to see that now!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: THE EMPRESS OF ELITE FINALS IS UNDERWAY!
Deadprez: Holly Arrow goes right after Serenity Valdez, who immediately ducks her head out of the ring! Are you kidding me?
Flannery McCoy: Serenity Valdez demands the referee to get Holly Arrow back. By the look on Holly’s face, you can tell she’s remaining calm about the situation. After a moment, Serenity gets her head back inside the ring. She and Holly begin to circle around the ring as Holly reaches for her –
Stew-O: Once again, Serenity Valdez sticks her head out through the middle rope! She is telling the referee to keep Holly Arrow back until Serenity is more than ready to resume this match. Holly has her arms folded across her chest, not amused by Serenity and her mind games going into this match. It’s shades of the former Specialists Champion. I do believe that there is a big reason for these mind games.
Deadprez: I think that you have a point there, Stew. The more that she does these tactics, the more likely that Holly Arrow will be irritated. After a moment, Serenity Valdez gets her head back inside the ring. The two Empress of Elite finalists begin to circle around each other, trying to look for the opening as Serenity quickly applies a waist lock on Holly. Serenity tries to lift up Holly, but Holly plants her feet to the mat, trying to keep her feet grounded. She reaches from behind, trying to get a hold of Serenity’s neck and applies a headlock. There, Holly slowly drops down to one knee, before cranking in the headlock on Serenity. Serenity finds herself in a bit of trouble, so she begins to shove Holly’s right side in hopes that she’ll be able to break her grasp on the headlock.
Flannery McCoy: Holly Arrow maintains the headlock on Serenity Valdez, but rolls her forward with a snapmare. There, Serenity finds herself in a seated position as Holly takes a swing back before connecting with a sharp-looking penalty kick to Serenity’s spine. You can see the look of pain on the former Specialists Champion’s face. HOLLY TAKES A SWING BACK BEFORE NAILING ANOTHER PENALTY KICK TO SERENITY’S SPINE! AND ANOTHER ONE! AND ANOTHER ONE! WE SEE THAT SERENITY IS SLOWLY FINDING HER WAY BACK TO A VERTICAL BASE, BUT THAT DOES NOT STOP HOLLY FROM DELIVERING SHOOT KICKS TO THE SIDES OF SERENITY. SLOWLY, SERENITY FINDS HER WAY BACK TO HER FEET AS HOLLY LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH ANOTHER SHOOT KICK –
Stew-O: But, Serenity Valdez manages to catch the leg of Holly Arrow! She throws Holly’s leg to the side, hoping to cause Holly to stumble to her side, BUT HOLLY USES THE MOMENTUM OF HER LEG BEING THROWN TO CONNECT WITH A SPINNING BACKFIST AS THAT TAKES ‘SPITED’ SERENITY BACK! Serenity is checking her nose for any sign of blood, but she’s more than good. Although, it seems like she didn’t appreciate that backfist to the face. Holly goes over to retrieve Serenity by her arm and looks to whip Serenity to the horizontal set of ropes across from them. Midway, we see Serenity counter that whip as Holly Arrow is sent flying to the horizontal set of ropes. Holly rebounds from those set of ropes as Serenity looks to stop Holly with a clothesline, BUT HOLLY DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE BEFORE RUNNING TO THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES IN FRONT OF HER, JUMPING TO THE MIDDLE ROPE, SPRINGBOARDING OFF OF THEM AND NAILING SERENITY WITH A CROSSBODY! SERENITY IS TAKEN DOWN AS HOLLY HAS HER FOR A COVER!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTT–
Deadprez: No! Serenity Valdez manages to roll herself out of the pinfall attempt, but look at this, she scoops up Holly Arrow along with her! Serenity holds Holly horizontally before lifting her up and dropping to a knee, dropping Holly on it in the process. Now, that was some impressive strength from the Dynasty Elitist right there! SERENITY GRABS HOLLY BY HER HAIR BEFORE THROWING HER BACK WITH AN UPPERCUT! SHE CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER UPPERCUT! AND ANOTHER ONE! THERE, HOLLY HAS HER BACK AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE AS SERENITY BEGINS TO CONNECT WITH SOME SHOULDER THRUSTS TO THE RIBS OF HOLLY. Serenity manages to lift Holly onto the top turnbuckle. Holly finds herself seated on the top turnbuckle as Serenity looks like she’s going to meet her up. She begins to climb to the second turnbuckle.
Flannery McCoy: But, Holly Arrow tries to prevent Serenity Valdez from meeting her up on the top turnbuckle by throwing a punch to Serenity’s face! That only keeps Serenity down for a brief second as she begins to climb her way up. She throws another punch to Serenity, but Serenity manages to climb herself to the second turnbuckle. SHE BEGINS TO THROW SOME PUNCHES TO THE STOMACH OF HOLLY AND IT SEEMS LIKE WE’RE REALLY STARTING THINGS OFF HOT AS IT SEEMS LIKE SERENITY WANTS TO CONNECT WITH A SUPERPLEX, BUT HOLLY BEGINS TO BREAK HERSELF OUT OF SERENITY’S GRASP BY THROWING SOME PUNCHES TO THE STOMACH OF SERENITY. IT TAKES ONE GIANT PUNCH TO KNOCK SERENITY OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE. THIS PROVIDES HOLLY WITH AN OPENING TO READJUST HERSELF ON THE TOP ROPE. SHE STALKS SERENITY, WHO BEGINS TO MAKE HER WAY TO HOLLY AS HOLLY, FROM THE TOP ROPE, CONNECTS WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK THAT SENDS SERENITY BACK!
Stew-O: Serenity Valdez rolls herself to her knees as Holly Arrow does not waste any time and goes right after her, following up that missile dropkick with a hesitaton dropkick that sends the former Specialists Champion back to the corner! HOLLY BEGINS TO POSITION SERENITY, SEATING HER ON THE SECOND ROW OF THE TURNBUCKLES. SHE BEGINS TO TAKE MULTIPLE STEPS BACK, HER EYES NEVER LEAVING THE SIGHT OF SERENITY AS SHE CHARGES AT SERENITY WITH A HIP ATTACK TO THE CORNER!
Deadprez: But, Serenity Valdez moves out of the way! Holly Arrow tries to soften the blow by catching herself as she collides with the corner! She begins to go forward, BUT SERENITY DOESN’T ALLOW HOLLY TO THINK ABOUT WHAT TO DO NEXT AS SHE CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING CROSSBODY TO HOLLY AS THAT TAKES HER BACK! SERENITY BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON A SERIES OF FRANTIC, BUT AGGRESSIVE PUNCHES TO HOLLY!
(The EAW Universe begins to boo as Serenity Valdez finds herself standing on her feet, her arms fully extended in confidence.)
Stew-O: Now, I don’t think that the crowd in Vancouver is crazy about Serenity Valdez, who has Holly Arrow by a fistfull of her hair! Serenity takes Holly forward, connecting with a snapmare. Holly lands in front of Serenity, who takes a few steps back. She rebounds herself off the horizontal set of ropes behind Holly, steps on the back of Holly, running forward as she rebounds herself off the set of ropes behind Holly and connects with a basement dropkick as that sends Holly back. Serenity grabs Holly and places her on the second row rope. She steps on Holly’s spine with her knee before using the ropes to choke Holly with them!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET OFF OF HER, SERENITY!
Deadprez: Serenity Valdez gets off of Holly Arrow, who rolls to her back. Still, her back is pressed against the ropes as she tries to gasp for some air back to her lungs. Meanwhile, Serenity glares back at the referee, who is looking to deliver some lecture to Serenity. With the perfect opening, Serenity charges at Holly, nailing her with a knee strike to the face as that makes Holly’s head bounce against the rope. SERENITY ROLLS HERSELF OUT OF THE RING VIA THE BOTTOM ROPE AS SHE FINDS HERSELF ON THE APRON AND LOOKS AT THIS – SHE BEGINS TO CHOKE HOLLY WITH THE ROPES FROM THE OUTSIDE.
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! ENOUGH, SERENITY! GET BACK IN THE RING!
Flannery McCoy: Unlike last year, it seems like this referee is going to do its job by enforcing the rules of this match up. Serenity Valdez needs to be careful and not get herself disqualified.
Stew-O: No, these referees are on Disney’s payroll and will not budge to anyone’s wishes or demands for more flexibility in this Empress of Elite finals. Serenity Valdez rolls herself back inside the ring as the referee needs to back her up, so that she could check on Holly Arrow, but Holly is reassuring the referee that she’s more than okay. She wants to continue on with this match up and get her hands on Serenity. As soon as the referee gets out of the way, SERENITY CHARGES AT HOLLY, NAILING A BEAUTIFUL SHINING WIZARD TO THE RIGHT TEMPLE OF HOLLY ARROW! WITH HOLLY DROPPED TO HER SIDE, SERENITY BEGINS TO UNLOAD WITH A SERIES OF STOMPS ON HER FELLOW EMPRESS OF ELITE FINALIST! SERENITY PLACES A FOOT ON THE FRONT OF THE NECK OF HOLLY, LOOKING TO CHOKE HER AGAINST THE BOTTOM ROW OF ROPES!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET YOUR FOOT OFF HER THROAT, SERENITY!
Deadprez: Serenity Valdez rolls her eyes and gets her foot off of Holly Arrow’s throat! Now, you can begin to see how annoyed Serenity is with the referee. This would be the part where Jake Mercer tries to claim that the referee is against Serenity, but I think that the referee is doing a great job. :mjgrin:
Flannery McCoy: I think that the referee is doing a great job with not letting this match get out of control. It seems like Serenity Valdez is trying to test how much she can get away in this match up, but this referee is not going to tolerate Serenity and her little games.
Stew-O: Serenity Valdez picks up Holly Arrow by her hair. She gets Holly in position before connecting with a snap suplex. Serenity gets Holly and begins to connect with a side headlock. BUT, YOU CAN SEE THAT HOLLY IS TRYING TO SHIFT HER HEAD AWAY FROM SERENITY AND THEN, TRYING TO SHOVE SERENITY TO HER SIDE. BUT, SERENITY CRANKS IN THE HEADLOCK, APPLYING MORE PRESSURE TO THE HOLD. SERENITY DROPS TO A KNEE AND IT SEEMS LIKE SERENITY IS ALMOST FLEXING AT THE MOMENT, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE HOLLY IS BEGINNING TO THINK OF OTHER IDEAS TO GET HERSELF OUT OF THE SITUATION. She is reaching down to the legs of Serenity and it seems like she’s trying to take Serenity off her feet! Serenity sees what Holly is trying to do and tries to get her leg away from her, but Holly, with all the force that she possibly can, manages to sweep behind the left leg of Serenity and takes back the former Specialist Champion!
Deadprez: THE SHOWDOWN ELITIST GETS ON TOP OF SERENITY VALDEZ BEFORE UNLOADING ON A SERIES OF LEFT AND RIGHTS! SERENITY IS DOING WHAT SHE CAN TO BLOCK THE HITS WITH HER ARMS, BUT HOLLY ARROW IS NAILING HER WITH EACH ONE! SHE MANAGES TO GRAB SERENITY BY HER WRISTS. SHE PULLS SERENITY TO HER KNEES AS HOLLY IS UP ON HER FEET. NOW, WHAT IN THE WORLD DOES HOLLY HAVE IN MIND?
Flannery McCoy: HOLLY ARROW HAS SERENITY VALDEZ BY HER WRISTS AS SHE PULLS HER INTO A GIANT KNEE TO THE FACE! THE DOUBLE WRIST LOCK INTO A KNEE STRIKE AS SERENITY VALDEZ FALLS BACK! HOLLY GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Serenity Valdez manages to kick out! Holly Arrow grabs Serenity by that hair of her’s! She throws her back into the corner! Holly begins to stomp on the ribs of ‘Spited’ Serenity, who falls down to the bottom row of ropes. Now, it seems like Holly is taking several steps, backing herself to the corne across from Serenity as –
Deadprez: RUNNING HIP ATTACK FROM HOLLY ARROW! I HOPE SERENITY VALDEZ LIKES PEACHES! 🍑
Flannery McCoy: DP, don’t tell me you found the henny. 🤦🏼♀️
Deadprez: Gavin wouldn’t snitch. That b– https://media.tenor.com/ne9PdIhDHYMAAAAd/angry-ah-pronto.gif
Flannery McCoy: –We aren’t going to finish that sentence as Serenity Valdez just me with a giant hip attack from Holly Arrow! Serenity collapses down to a seated position as Holly looks to take a few steps back, BEFORE RUNNING TOWARDS SERENITY, NAILING HER WITH FACEWASH AT THE CORNER! SERENITY’S HEAD IS SENT BACK AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE AS HOLLY PULLS SERENITY AWAY FROM THE ROPES! SHE BEGINS TO PLACE SERENITY HORIZONTALLY IN BETWEEN THE TURNBUCKLES! OH GOD, NOW, IF I WAS SERENITY, I WOULDN’T WANT TO EXPERIENCE THIS MOVE FROM HOLLY! :lupe:
Stew-O: WITH SERENITY VALDEZ IN POSITION, HOLLY ARROW JUMPS UP BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A DIVING DOUBLE KNEE DROP ONTO THE RIBS OF SERENITY! SERENITY IS TAKEN DOWN! SHE MIGHT BE BROKEN IN HALF! HOLLY ROLLS SERENITY AWAY FROM THE ROPES AND HOOKS THE LEG!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Serenity Valdez stays alive in this match! However, you see that Holly Arrow isn’t phased about that at all. If anything, she’s more than focused to find out what she is going to need to do to take down Serenity Valdez! Holly gets back to a vertical base. SHE GETS SERENITY BACK TO HER FEET AS WELL, BUT SERENITY BEGINS TO SHOW A LITTLE FIGHTING SPIRIT BY SWINGING SOME PUNCHES TO THE GUT OF HOLLY! BUT, HOLLY RESPONDS BY NAILING A NASTY HEADBUTT ON THE TOP OF SERENITY’S SKULL AS THAT TAKES HER DOWN TO ONE KNEE! HOLLY PULLS SERENITY CLOSER TO HER BEFORE NAILING A VERTICAL DROP SUPLEX–
Flannery McCoy: –WAIT A SECOND! NO, SERENITY VALDEZ IS KEEPING HER FEET PLANTED FIRMLY ON THE GROUND! SHE BEGINS TO PUNCH THE GUT OF HOLLY ARROW AGAIN! THE LAST TIME THAT SHE TRIED THAT, SHE GOT A WICKED HEADBUTT FROM HOLLY! NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE SERENITY IS TRYING TO SHOVE HOLLY BACK INTO THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES! SHE IS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO TURN THE TIDES OF THIS MATCH BACK INTO HER FAVOR! BUT, YOU CAN SEE THAT HOLLY IS TRYING TO PUNCH THE BACK OF SERENITY, WHO IS TRYING TO PUNCH HOLLY’S GUT! BUT, HOLLY’S PUNCHES TO SERENITY’S SPINE ARE GETTING THE BEST OF SERENITY AS –
Stew-O: But, Serenity Valdez manages to get one foot off Holly Arrow, but Holly finds a way to hop on one foot as she turns her back on Serenity and counters with a switchblade kick to the back of Serenity’s neck! That was enough to take Serenity down, who finds herself in an all fours position! Holly gets right behind Holly before getting her into position and connecting with a straight-jacket suplex, but Serenity finds a way to her knees! I’m not sure how much energy that took, but Serenity did that. Holly turns around to find that Serenity landed on her knees. She looks to find her way back to her feet as she charges to Serenity with a penalty kick!
Deadprez: But, Serenity Valdez ducks back as she grabs Holly Arrow by one of her legs and pushes it back as Holly falls face-first against the turnbuckle at the corner! With Holly on her knees at the corner, trying to recover from having her face collide with the turnbuckle, Serenity decides to take advantage of the situation by rising up to her feet and connecting with a meteora to the back of Holly’s head! This causes Holly to turn around as the back of her head is resting against the turnbuckle! Now, Serenity gets Holly by her waist before taking her back and connecting with a German suplex, but Serenity has the bridge!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTT–
Flannery McCoy: Holly Arrow manages to roll herself out of the pinfall attempt. Serenity Valdez beats Holly back to her feet and she jumps on the back of Holly, applying the backpack chokehold. I believe that Serenity calls this the ‘Pyramid Scheme.’
Stew-O: Now, this is a smart approach from ‘Spited’ Serenity Valdez, who knows that Holly Arrow’s comfort zone is around submission holds! She has the leg scissors wrapped around her waist of Holly as Serenity is looking to wear down her challenge. Now, I think that Serenity wouldn’t mind if this move knocks out Holly. But, the referee is asking Holly if she wants to submit, but Holly is shaking her head no! She is not giving up without a fight! Now, it’s these types of submission moves, where the referee needs to keep an eye on the person on the receiving end of the submission hold! This could knock out Holly!
Deadprez: But, if you know Holly Arrow as much as I’ve seen her on Showdown this season, you would know that Holly Arrow probably is thinking of a way out of this move! She knows that Serenity Valdez isn’t as advanced in technical wrestling as she desires! That’s the one thing that Holly Arrow has over Serenity Valdez. But with Serenity, she has that former Specialists Championship that Serenity has made Holly aware of what supposedly makes her better.
Flannery McCoy: By watching Serenity Valdez since her debut – and I know that Stew can back me up on this – Serenity can get down and dirty. She can be a scrapper at times and do what she can to walk out with victory. It’s what made her reign as Specialists Champion for about five months.
Stew-O: I agree with that, Flannery. Serenity Valdez, since losing the Specialists Championship, has changed a bit. It’s almost like she’s looking for something to replace that loss at Road to Redemption and Empress of Elite could be it.
Deadprez: And when she loses tonight? What then, Stew? She is going to continue to spiral and create delusions inside her mind!
Crowd: LET’S GO, HOLLY! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 LET’S GO, HOLLY! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 LET’S GO, HOLLY! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 LET’S GO, HOLLY! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 LET’S GO, HOLLY! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 LET’S GO, HOLLY! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 LET’S GO, HOLLY! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Flannery McCoy: Now, that is going to upset Serenity Valdez! It seems like their disdain for Serenity is heard as this crowd is totally behind Holly to put Serenity in her place and become Empress of Elite! The energy from the EAW Universe is helping the twenty-three year old from Auckland, New Zealand as she begins to rise to her feet. You can see the wobbliness on her feet as Serenity is shaking her head no! Serenity can her grasp slowly loosen as Holly finds her way onto a vertical base. SHE SEES THE TURNBUCKLE BEHIND HER AS SLAMS SERENITY SPINE-FIRST AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE AS THAT SEEMED TO HELP HER! NOW, HOLLY GRABS SERENITY BY HER NECK AND TOSSES HER OVER HER SHOULDER WITH A JUDO THROW, BUT LOOK AT THIS DP AND STEW, HOLLY HAS A GRASP OF SERENITY’S ARM!
Stew-O: SERENITY VALDEZ IS REPEATING “NO” OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO HOLLY ARROW! HOLLY GRABS THE ARM, BENDS IT BACK, BEFORE DELIVERING A NASTY STOMP TO IT! SERENITY WIGGLES LIKE A FISH IN PAIN AS HOLLY GETS SERENITY’S ARM AGAIN, BENDS IT BACK ONCE AGAIN AND DELIVERS ANOTHER NASTY STOMP TO IT! SERENITY IS CLUTCHING THAT ARM AS SHE FINDS HERSELF INTO A CRAWLING BASE AS HOLLY HOPES OVER AND FLIPS SERENITY OVER, CONNECTING WITH A CROSS ARMBREAKER ON HER! Serenity begins to wiggle around as Holly pulls back on the arm, adding onto the pressure of the armbraker. The referee is asking Serenity to see if she wants to submit, but Serenity keeps telling the referee “no.” She is not quitting here, Deadprez!
Deadprez: But, if Holly Arrow keeps that armbreaker locked in, Serenity Valdez is going to be without an arm. Is Empress of Elite worth it to her at that cost?
Flannery McCoy: Yes.
Stew-O: Pretty much.
Deadprez: Serenity Valdez manages to get her fingertips on the bottom rope across from her. She delivered a giant extension of the arm to do that, but Holly Arrow is not releasing the armbreaker!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! RELEASE THE HOLD, HOLLY!
Flannery McCoy: Right away, Holly Arrow releases the hold. She knows what’s in stake. She wants nothing more than to become the Empress of Elite. Everyone in this crowd is wishing for the same thing.
Stew-O: Might be, but Serenity Valdez would love nothing more than to burst that bubble for the fans who are not looking at her as the favorite to win this finals. At least, that’s what she’s probably coming up in her mind, but she has shown that her mindset isn’t the same since losing the Specialists Championship. Now, I know we mentioned this before the match, could that be something that makes the difference in this match?
Deadprez: If Serenity Valdez can find that champion mentality that she had during her reign, that could be the winning formula to win Empress of Elite for herself. Holly Arrow goes and grabs Serenity, who is clutching onto the middle rope, using that to help herself to her feet and Holly goes to retrieve Serenity by the top of her head! BUT, SERENITY LOOKS TO SWING A PUNCH TO HOLLY’S GUT, BUT HOLLY IS ABLE TO BLOCK THAT BEFORE GETTING SERENITY INTO POSITION, HOSITING HER UP AND AN EXPLODER SUPLEX! NOW, THAT WAS A CLEAN EXECUTION AS SERENITY IS ROLLED ACROSS THE RING! HOLLY NOTICES THAT SERENITY IS LAID OUT PERFECTLY NEAR THE TURNBUCKLE AND SEES THAT AS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO HEAD FOR THE TOP ROPE! SHE GETS ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND POSITIONS HERSELF ON IT! HOLLY JUMPS! DOUBLE FOOT STOMP ONTO THE RIBS OF SERENITY!
Flannery McCoy: AT THE LAST MICROSECOND, SERENITY VALDEZ MANAGES TO MOVE HERSELF OUT OF THE WAY! HOLLY ARROW MANAGES TO MAKE THE LANDING, BUT I THINK THAT SHE MIGHT HAVE TWEAKED HER ANKLE AS SHE MADE THE LANDING. :lupe:
Stew-O: AND, IT SEEMS LIKE SERENITY VALDEZ NOTICES THAT AS SHE CONNECTS WITH A CHOPBLOCK TO THE INJURED RIGHT ANKLE OF HOLLY ARROW! HOLLY COLLAPSES ONTO HER KNEES AS SERENITY CHARGES FORWARD, BLASTING HOLLY WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE! THIS TAKES THE ‘DEVIL CHILD’ TO HER BACK AS SERENITY BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON HOLLY WITH A SERIES OF PUNCHES! She picks up Holly, draps her over the back of Serenity’s neck as Serenity lifts her up in a vertical position. It seems like she’s going to hit that vertical suplex as Holly is taken back, but won’t you look at that? Serenity maintains control of the suplex as she lifts up Holly again before taking her back with a second vertical suplex! Now, it seems like Serenity is planning to hit the vertical suplex for a third time as she does that!
Deadprez: SERENITY VALDEZ HAS HOLLY ARROW IN A FRONT HEADLOCK POSITION AS SHE SHOVES HOLLY INTO THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES! SERENITY RACES TOWARDS HOLLY AND NAILS HER WITH A SPRINGBOARD FLATLINER – ‘FALL FROM GRACE’ CONNECTS AS SERENITY RACES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: HOLLY ARROW WITH A KICK OUT! SERENITY VALDEZ IS DOING WHAT SHE CAN TO KEEP HERSELF CALM! SHE PICKS UP HOLLY BY HER CHIN AND BEGINS TO TRASH TALK A COUPLE OF THINGS TO HER! SERENITY DELIVERS A HUGE SLAP ACROSS THE FACE OF HOLLY, WHO STUMBLES TO HER SIDE! BUT, HOLLY RETURNS THE FAVOR BY SWINGING A PUNCH TO THE SIDE OF SERENITY’S FACE! SERENITY THROWS A PUNCH TO HOLLY, WHICH CAUSES HER TO STUMBLE TO HER SIDE! HOLLY THROWS A PUNCH THAT KNOCKS SERENITY BACK! SERENITY LAUNCHES FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A PUNCH THAT SENDS HOLLY BACK! HOLLY CONNECTS WITH A PUNCH THAT LOOKED MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN THE OTHERS –
Stew-O: SERENITY VALDEZ JUST KICKED HOLLY ARROW’S RIGHT ANKLE, CAUSING THE FOOT TO BE SWEPT OFF THE MAT! THAT CAUSED HOLLY TO STUMBLE FOR JUST A SECOND AS SERENITY TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THAT TINY WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY BY BLASTING HER WITH A KNEE STRIKE AS THAT SENDS HOLLY FLINGING BACK! HOLLY FINDS HERSELF INTO A SEATED POSITION AS SERENITY GRABS HOLLY BY HER HAIR AND THROWS HER BACK AGAINST THE CORNER! THE BACK OF HOLLY’S SKULL IS SMASHED WITH THE TURNBUCKLE AS SERENITY MANAGES TO SIT HERSELF ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, CONNECTING WITH A HEADSCISSORS ON HOLLY BEFORE DRAPING HER BODY UPSIDE DOWN AND TO THE OUTSIDE!
Deadprez: You can see that Holly Arrow is being taken off her feet with Serenity Valdez beginning to clutch onto the bottom ropes in order to keep the move, but I think that the referee is going to start her count!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! RELEASE THE HOLD, SERENITY!
Flannery McCoy: SERENITY VALDEZ FLIPS HERSELF BACK TO HER FEET, SO THAT SHE LANDS ON THE RINGSIDE FLOOR! SHE GRABS HOLLY ARROW BY HER ANKLES AND KNOCKS HER FORWARD! SERENITY PULLS ON THE ANKLES OF HOLLY AND IT SEEMS LIKE SHE’S GOING TO APPLY A FIGURE FOUR LEG LOCK WITH HOLLY’S LEGS BEING WRAPPED AROUND THE RING POST! BUT, HOLLY IS BEGINNING TO KICK SERENITY AWAY FROM HER! SHE KNOWS THAT IF SHE FINDS HERSELF IN THIS SUBMISSION HOLD, IT MIGHT NOT BE GOOD FOR HER ANKLE OR LEGS FOR THE MATTER! HOLLY GOES TO KICK SERENITY AWAY, BUT SERENITY SHAKES HER HEAD AS SHE MANAGES TO GRAB ONTO THE FOOT OF HOLLY BEFORE EXTENDING IT BACK AND…SMASHING IT AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE RING POST! HOLLY BEGINS TO CRY OUT IN PAIN AS SERENITY SEEMED TO LIKE THAT, SO SHE EXTENDS HOLLY’S RIGHT LEG BACK AND SMASHES IT TO THE SIDE OF THE RING POST AGAIN! ONCE AGAIN, HOLLY BEGINS TO CRY OUT IN PAIN! NOW, SERENITY BEGINS TO APPLY THE FIGURE FOUR AROUND THE RING POST!
Stew-O: THE MOVE IS CINCHED IN AS HOLLY ARROW BEGINS TO SCREAM, TRYING TO PUNCH SERENITY VALDEZ’ LEGS OFF OF HER LEGS! HOLLY IS CLUTCHING ONTO THE BOTTOM ROPE, BUT SERENITY IS NOT RELEASING THE HOLD! THE REFEREE IS SCREAMING FOR SERENITY TO RELEASE THE HOLD, BUT SERENITY IS SO FOCUSED ON APPLYING THE SUBMISSION HOLD!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE–
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) I GOT UNTIL THE COUNT OF FIVE!
Deadprez: You see that there, Stew! That’s a bit of the attitude that we’ve seen from Serenity Valdez! She has tried to keep herself patient with the referee and her counting for a good portion of this match, but it seems like we’re seeing a bit of irritation from the former Specialists Champion! Serenity releases the figure four as Holly’s legs are released from the ring post. The referee begins to check on Holly and see how her ankle is.
Holly Arrow: (off-mic) I can keep going.
Referee: (off-mic) Are you sure, Holly?
Holly Arrow: (off-mic) I can keep going! Yes!
Flannery McCoy: ‘HIT THE LIGHTS’ – THE RUNNING KNEE TO THE BACK OF HOLLY ARROW’S HEAD CONNECTS AS SERENITY VALDEZ HIT THAT KNEE FROM COMPLETELY NOWHERE! SERENITY WITH THE COVER!IS SERENITY REALLY GOING TO STEAL THE VICTORY LIKE THIS? THIS ISN’T FAIR TO HOLLY! SHE WASN’T READY FOR THIS! IS THIS GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO WIN HER THE 2023 EMPRESS OF ELITE TOURNAMENT?!?
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRR–
Stew-O: HOLLY ARROW KICKS OUT! SERENITY VALDEZ IS STUNNED AS THE EAW UNIVERSE CAN’T SEEM TO BELIEVE THAT HOLLY IS STILL ALIVE IN THIS MATCH UP! I think that Serenity expected to steal the victory here! I thought it was a brilliant approach to take advantage of the situation! The referee really can’t reprimand Serenity for that! Holly had assured the referee that she could still continue on with the match! SERENITY BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON A SERIES OF PUNCHES TO THE ‘DEVIL CHILD’S’ FACE AS SHE GRABS HOLLY BY THE TOP OF HER MESSED UP HAIR AND THROWS HER THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AS SHE GETS THROWN TO THE OUTSIDE! Serenity meets Holly outside as Holly is beginning to try to find herself back on her feet! That ankle has become a bit of a problem for Holly as Serenity gets Holly and throws her back into the steel steps! Holly falls back on the steel steps behind her as she lands on her ankle in the process!
Deadprez: BUT, SERENITY VALDEZ IS NOT GOING TO WASTE ANY TIME AS HOPS ON AND OVER THE STEEL STEPS AND CONNECTS WITH A METEORA TO A SEATED HOLLY ARROW! SERENITY FINDS HERSELF BACK TO HER FEET AS EXTENDS HER ARMS OUT IN CONFIDENCE! THE CROWD IS NOT LIKING THIS ONE BIT! Serenity sees Holly trying to pick herself up for a seated position as she picks up Holly by the nape of her neck and whips her ribs first against the edge of the apron! Then, she gets Holly and throws her back against the barricade behind them! Holly collapses to the ground as Serenity begins to press on the side of Holly’s face! The boos of the crowd is being picked up by the audio!
(As Serenity Valdez is stomping on the side of Holly Arrow’s face, she noticed that a little girl in front of her, dressed in Holly Arrow cosplay.)
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) Is this who you want as your Empress, kid? I’d pick new heroes because Holly’s a disappointment!
Little Girl: (off-mic) YOU SUCK, HOLLY!
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) I actually don’t. Do you notice who has the upper hand here? I’M THE GOAT!
Little Girl: (off-mic) YOU ARE DELUSIONAL!
(The crowd responds in ‘oohs’ knowing that the statement was enough to make Serenity Valdez pause.)
Crowd: YOU ARE DELUSIONAL! 👏👏👏 👏👏👏 YOU ARE DELUSIONAL! 👏👏👏 👏👏👏 YOU ARE DELUSIONAL! 👏👏👏 👏👏👏 YOU ARE DELUSIONAL! 👏👏👏 👏👏👏 YOU ARE DELUSIONAL! 👏👏👏 👏👏👏 YOU ARE DELUSIONAL! 👏👏👏 👏👏👏
Flannery McCoy: Serenity Valdez begins to cover her ears, blocking the sound, but that chant is getting powerful! This crowd is really letting everyone know what they think of her as she tries to block the sound off her mind and focus on Holly Arrow! Serenity grabs Holly back to her feet, BUT HOLLY SHOVES HER BACK! SERENITY’S SPINE COLLIDES WITH THE STEEL RING POST! THAT MAY HAVE BEEN WHAT HOLLY NEEDED TO TURN THE TIDES OF THE MATCH INTO HER FAVOR! HOLLY RISES BACK TO HER FEET AS SHE GRABS SERENITY INTO A HORIZONTAL POSITION AND BATTERY RAMS HER AGAINST THE STEEL RING POST! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! BUT, LOOK AT THAT, HOLLY STILL HAS POSSESSION OF SERENITY! BUT, HER EYES TURN TO THE CROWD!
Stew-O: Holly Arrow is looking back at that little girl in her cosplay, who had that exchange with Serenity Valdez moments ago!
Holly Arrow: (off-mic) Hey, any move you wanna see right now?
Little Girl: Can we see something with the cinder blocks? :oh:
Holly Arrow: (off-mic) Um, Disney won’t allow that. 😐
Little Girl: (off-mic):francis: How about ‘Ballad of Fallen Angels?’ :oh:
Holly Arrow: (off-mic) That I will do! :drakelike:
Deadprez: Is she really letting the fans instruct her on how to hurt Serenity Valdez? :damn:
Flannery McCoy: I can’t believe that little girl wanted to see Holly Arrow use cinder blocks? Are we reaching the right demographics? :mjlol:
Stew-O: :mjlol: Holly Arrow is for the kids! 💯
Deadprez: WELL, HOLLY ARROW FINDS HER WAY ONTO THE APRON! SHE STILL HAS SERENITY VALDEZ IN A HORIZONTAL POSITION AS SHE GETS SERENITY DOWN AND INTO POSITION! WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING THAT TIGER DRIVER ‘98 – BUT SERENITY MANAGES TO SHOVE HOLLY BACK! SERENITY PROVIDES HERSELF WITH A BIT OF ROOM AS HOLLY GOES RIGHT AFTER HER! SERENITY CONNECTS WITH A SIDE-HANDED CHOP TO THE CHEST OF HOLLY! HOLLY CONNECTS WITH A PALM STRIKE TO THE CHEST OF SERENITY! SERENITY CONNECTS WITH A SIDE-HANDED CHOP TO HOLLY AS THAT CAUSES HER TO STAGGER BACK, BUT HOLLY RETURNS THE FAVOR BY CONNECTING WITH A SUPERKICK, BUT SHE MANAGES TO GRAB ON TO SERENITY’S ARM BEFORE PULLING HER CLOSER AND CONNECTING WITH ‘BALLAD OF FALLEN ANGELS’ – THE TIGER DRIVER ‘98 ON TOP OF THE APRON AS SERENITY GOES DOWN! HOLLY ROLLS SERENITY BACK INSIDE THE RING! HOLLY GOES BACK INSIDE THE RING AS SHE RACES FOR THE COVER! IS EMPRESS HOLLY ON THE HORIZON?!?!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTT–
Flannery McCoy: Serenity Valdez kicks out! Holly Arrow is continuing to remain focused as stalks Serenity back to her feet as she goes right after Serenity, nailing her with a rolling wheel kick! Holly calls that the ‘Buster Call’ as Serenity goes back! Holly runs over to pick up Holly for ‘Romance Dawn,’ – the swinging reverse sto, BUT SERENITY MANAGES TO TURN HERSELF AROUND, LANDING BEHIND HOLLY AS SHE GETS ON TOP OF THE SHOULDERS OF HOLLY AND CONNECTS WITH A POSIONARANA! HOLLY IS SPIKED ONTOP OF HER HEAD! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE SERENITY IS NOT COMPLETELY DONE HERE AS HOLLY LOOKS TO BACK HERSELF TOWARDS THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES! BUT, SERENITY RUNS AFTER HER – ‘FALL FROM GRACE!’ THE SPRINGBOARD FLATLINER FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THIS MATCH UP, BUT HOLLY MANAGES TO ROLL HERSELF BACK TO HER FEET AS SHE HAS SERENITY IS TRAPPED IN A HEADLOCK POSITION –
Stew-O: But, Serenity Valdez manages to jump herself out of the grasp of Holly Arrow, BUT HOLLY HAS SERENITY BY HER ARM AS SHE TAKES SERENITY BACK WITH A RIPCORD INSIDE KNEE – ‘THE EMPEROR’S TIME!’ SERENITY IS TAKEN BACK, BUT HOLLY MAINTAINS THE WRIST LOCK AS SHE PULLS SERENITY CLOSER AND IT SEEMS LIKE HOLLY IS GOING FOR ‘ROMANCE DAWN’ AGAIN – BUT SERENITY WITH A THUMB TO HOLLY ARROW’S EYE! I DON’T THINK THAT THE REFEREE CAUGHT THAT! SERENITY MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A SMALL PACKAGE ON HOLLY ARROW AND SHE HAS THE TIGHTS! THIS IS WHAT SHE USED TO DEFEAT SIENNA JADE ON DYNASTY LAST WEEK! IS THIS GOING TO HELP HER WIN EMPRESS OF ELITE NOW!??!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRR–
Deadprez: ‘VELA-NOVA!’ HOLLY ARROW WAS ABLE TO COUNTER SERENITY VALDEZ’ ROLL UP WITH THE OMOPLATA CROSSFACE!!!!! SERENITY IS IN TROUBLE AT THE MOMENT! SHE IS TRYING TO SCRAMBLE FOR THE BOTTOM ROPE IN FRONT OF HER, BUT IT’S NO USE!!!!
Flannery McCoy: HOLLY ARROW IS WRENCHING IN THE SUBMISSION HOLD! THIS MOMENT RIGHT HERE! THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING ALL OF HER WISHES COME TRUE THANKS TO ‘VELA-NOVA’ IS WHAT IS ON HOLLY ARROW’S MIND RIGHT NOW!!!! SHE WAS GIVEN THE ROAD TOUGHER THAN SERENITY VALDEZ HAD!!!! SHE HAD TO CONSTANTLY PROVE HERSELF! SHE HAD IT DIFFICULT THAN A LOT OF THE NEWCOMERS WHO SHOWED UP! SHE HAD BUSTED HER BUTT OFF TO GET TO THIS OPPORTUNITY!!! SHE WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE IN THIS POSITION, BUT SHE IS DOING WHAT SHE CAN TO PROVE THAT SHE HAS MORE THAN EARNED IT!!!!
Stew-O: SERENITY VALDEZ MANAGES TO PIN THE SHOULDERS BACK OF HOLLY ARROW! IS SHE GOING TO STEAL THE VICTORY HERE?!?!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Deadprez: NO! HOLLY ARROW MANAGES TO GET BACK INTO POSITION FOR ‘VELA-NOVA!’ BUT, SERENITY VALDEZ BITES THE HAND OF HOLLY, WHICH CAUSES HER TO RELEASE HER GRASP. ONCE AGAIN, I DON’T THINK THE REFEREE SAW THAT! THE REFEREE WAS OBSERVING THE TWO ELITISTS FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE, BUT SERENITY GETS BEHIND HOLLY AND GETS HER INTO POSITION FOR ‘MORALITY’S EDGE!’ THE TEQUILA SHOT CONNECTS, BUT WHY ISN’T SERENITY GOING FOR THE COVER THERE? :comeagain:
Flannery McCoy: No, it seems like she’s going for the top rope! I don’t understand what else she needs to do to make all of these necessary, but Holly Arrow is down! Serenity finds herself on the top turnbuckle as she’s gesturing for Holly to get back to her feet, but I don’t think that Holly is going to get up, guys. I think that Serenity really could have secured herself Empress of Elite, but Serenity is waiting for Holly to get back to her feet!
Stew-O: Slowly, we are seeing Holly Arrow get back to her feet! I think that ‘Morality’s Edge’ knocked her out, BUT STILL, YOU CAN SEE THAT HOLLY IS DOING WHAT SHE CAN TO RISE BACK TO HER FEET, BUT SERENITY FROM THE TOP ROPE – ‘MALICIOUS INTENT’ – THE LEAPING PILEDRIVER FROM THE TURNBUCKLE AS HOLLY IS SENT CRASHING DOWN ON HER SKULL! SERENITY WITH THE COVER!!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(The crowd gives a heavy mixed reaction as ‘Run This Town’ begins to blast through the speakers. Serenity Valdez slowly begins to roll away from Holly Arrow. Serenity looks down at the canvas, trying to contain her emotions before looking up, almost chuckling to herself.)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…THE WINNER OF THE 2023 EMPRESS OF ELITE TOURNAMENT…SERENITY VALDEZ!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Man, I am in shock! Who expected this? :wtf:
Flannery McCoy: Honestly, I’m quite surprised by the result! But, the Empress of Elite crown goes back to the red brand with Serenity Valdez as the Empress of Elite! This young woman from Tijuana, Mexico, just managed to become Empress of Elite!
Stew-O: I don’t think that anyone, but Jake bet on Serenity winning. We’re really gonna give $5,000 to Jake Mercer. :noah:
Flannery McCoy: When someone wakes up Persephone and tells her that she lost 5k betting on Holly Arrow… :roman:
Deadprez: Gavin bet 10k. :mjlol:
(The camera pans to Holly Arrow resting on the bottom of the ramp, clearly heartbroken and upset due to the loss. She had a tough road to advance to this stage of the tournament and to fall short, clearly sucks for her. But, she went into this match, put on a performance to remember and showed the world that Holly Arrow is going to be World Champion one day. This is just another setback on the path to greatness for Holly and knowing her, she’ll find a way to bounce back on it.)
Stew-O: That young woman right there, Holly Arrow, deserves all the credit in the world. If you weren’t a Holly Arrow fan yet, you should have become one after tonight. That’s all I am going to say.
(The crowd gets antsy when Jake Smith runs from the back and kneels down to Holly Arrow. Jake says a few encouraging words for Holly as the two of them embrace. Then, Jake holds a side of her, helping her up to her feet. The two of them make their way up the ramp as the crowd begins to applaud them as they get closer. Half-way up, the rest of the Queen Bees’ – Mei Sasaki and Sierra Bradford make their way down the ramp, clapping and applauding for Serenity Valdez, who is already up on their feet.)
(The rest of the Queen Bees’ join Serenity Valdez inside the ring. All three of them embrace each other, obviously overcome with emotions. Road to Redemption was a tough night, but Serenity’s victory just turned the spirits of this entire group around. Stephie Love grabs the Empress of Elite crown from the podium as she enters the ring, but Sierra snatches the crown from Stephie and Mei shoos her out of the ring. With just the Queen Bees’ in the ring, Sierra places the crown on Serenity’s head, declaring her as the Empress of Elite. After a moment, Mei and Sierra get on each side of Serenity and lift her up as Serenity basks in the reception from the crowd.)
(‘Bubblin’ by Anderson Paak begins to play through the speakers of the Rogers Arena. Immediately, the crowd begins to boo Maxwell, who walks out with a smug and confident look on his face.)
Jake Mercer: You see that look? That’s the man who could be the next World Heavyweight Champion, Flann and Stew! ‘The Prince Reborn’ made his return to professional wrestling in the New Years Eve edition of Dynasty by attacking Limmy Monaghan!
Stew-O: The same pattern would follow for about the next two weeks – even Maxwell turning on Limmy Monaghan during a tag team match with Soul Food Sunday. This man wanted to let Limmy know how it felt to be betrayed by a partner. Then, it wasn’t until the contract signing where Maxwell basically showed everyone why he is after Limmy Monaghan and the World Heavyweight Championship.
Flannery McCoy: To me, it seems more personal on Maxwell’s end than Limmy’s. But, Limmy also shead some light on what the rest of the members of Insurgency felt about Maxwell and that they always felt like he was behind the rest of them. Limmy would double down and say that Maxwell wasn’t good then and he certainly isn’t good now.
Jake Mercer: I think that Maxwell is walking into this match with a HUGE chip on his shoulder, but if any rich man knows – pressure makes diamond and Maxwell is going to use that pressure to get his revenge on Limmy Monaghan and become the NEW World Heavyweight Champion.
(‘Limit Break x Survivor’ by Kiyoshi Hikawa begins to sound through the speakers of Rogers Arena as Limmy Monaghan strolls out from the back. The World Heavyweight Championship is glistening on his shoulder as he has his focus set on Maxwell inside the ring.)
Stew-O: Limmy Monaghan fulfilled the prophecy that was made of him during Pain for Pride 15. He will be a World Champion. Six months later, he knocked off an almost dominant Andre Walker, ending his six month reign on top of the Dynasty food chain. But with being champion, Limmy learned quickly that there’s a target on his back. I don’t think anyone expected for Maxwell to be that target.
Flannery McCoy: To Limmy, I get the impression that he really doesn’t see this match as anything to sweat about. He has made his peace with Maxwell – he is not good enough. He wasn’t good enough during their time in Insurgency and he isn’t good enough now, but don’t you think that Limmy is possibly underestimating Maxwell?
Jake Mercer: 100% sure, Flann. Two years is a lot for a man to change and to hone his craft. Maxwell has been waiting for the day to get his hands on Limmy Monaghan, but to be World Champion at the same time? It sends a giant middle finger to the rest of the men in Insurgency and shows that he is more than good enough to be something in this company.
(The lights dim with a spotlight placed on Stephie Love inside the ring.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL –
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!!!!!! 🇨🇦
Stephie Love: AND IT’S FOR THE EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!! INTRODUCING FIRST…THE CHALLENGER…FROM LAS VEGAS, NEVADA…WEIGHING IN 240 POUNDS… HE IS ‘THE PRINCE REBORN’….MAXWELL!!!!!!!
(The crowd boos loudly as the camera goes to Maxwell, trying to get to Limmy Monaghan’s face as the referee is backing him up. Limmy is keeping calm with his exchange of words, unhooking the World Heavyweight Championship from his waist. Waiting for his introduction.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT…FROM GOLDEN BEACH, FLORIDA…WEIGHING IN 227 POUNDS.. HE IS THE CURRENT REIGNING EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION… ‘THE LEADER’… LIMMY MONAGHAN!!!!!!
(The crowd gives a pop to Limmy Monaghan, who raises the title up while giving the ‘finger gun taunt. After a moment of basking in his glory, Limmy hands over the World Heavyweight Championship to the referee, who raises the title, letting people know what the two Elitists are fighting for. Then, he hands the title off to the time keeper. Then, the referee gets into position in the middle of the ring. Maxwell and Limmy are more than ready to get this match underway as the referee rings for the bell!)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The World Heavyweight Championship is on the line! BUT, LIMMY MONAGHAN AND MAXWELL COULDN’T WAIT TO GET THINGS UNDERWAY! THE TWO MEN ARE UNLOADING ON EACH OTHER, THROWING PUNCHES TO EACH OTHER! But, Limmy connects with a kick to the ribs of Maxwell, who bends forward in response! Limmy grabs Maxwell by the arm before whipping him into the horizontal set of ropes! Maxwell rebounds from them as Limmy connects with a shoulder block, sending Maxwell to his back. Now, Limmy sees that Maxwell is in perfect position before he hopes over ‘The Prince Reborn,’ rebounding himself off the horizontal set of ropes and hoping over Maxwell again, before rebounding off the horizontal ropes across from them and taking down a seated Maxwell with a basement dropkick!
Flannery McCoy: Maxwell finds a way to a crawling position as Limmy Monaghan manages to apply a front headlock on his challenger! Limmy connects with some knees to the ribs of Maxwell BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SIDE-HANDED CHOP THAT STANDS HIM STRAIGHT, BUT KNOCKS HIM BACK A BIT. LIMMY CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER SIDE-HANDED CHOP TO THE CHEST OF MAXWELL THAT TAKES HIM FURTHER BACK! AND ANOTHER ONE! AND ANOTHER ONE! AND ANOTHER ONE! Maxwell finds himself backed into the vertical set of ropes as Limmy grabs Maxwell by the arms and whips him to the other set of ropes across from them. Mid-way, Maxwell stops himself and counters with a whip of his own as Limmy is sent crashing onto the vertical set of ropes! Maxwell runs after Limmy, looking to connect with a running clothesline, BUT LIMMY MANAGES TO STICK HIS FOOT OUT TO BLOCK MAXWELL’S WAY! MAXWELL GRABS LIMMY’S FOOT AND CONNECTS WITH A SIDE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP AS THAT TAKES THE WORLD CHAMPION TO THE SIDE!
Jake Mercer: Now, it’s Maxwell, who finds himself up to his feet! HE GRABS ‘THE LEADER’S’ LEG, EXTENDS IT UP AND SLAMS IT DOWN TO THE MAT! LIMMY BEGINS TO CLUTCH TO THAT LEG OF HIS AS MAXWELL IS LOOKING TO APPLY A SINGLE-LEG BOSTON CRAB ON THE CHAMPION! NO! LIMMY IS FINDING A WAY TO ROLL HIMSELF OUT OF THE POSITION FOR THE BOSTON CRAB! HE IS TRYING TO ROLL HIMSELF FROM HIS STOMACH AND HE GRABS MAXWELL FOR AN INSIDE CRADLE! ARE WE LOOKING FOR A QUICK AND SUCCESSFUL TITLE DEFENSE HERE?
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: MAXWELL MANAGES TO KICK HIMSELF OUT! THE CHAMPION AND THE CHALLENGER FIND THEMSELVES AT THEIR FEET AS LIMMY LOOKS FOR ‘DIABLE JAMBE’ – THE BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE AS MAXWELL SHOVES THE KNEE AWAY! HE KNEW THAT HE NEEDED TO LOOK OUT FOR THAT KNEE GOING INTO THIS WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH TONIGHT! LIMMY’S KNEES ARE SOME OF THE MOST DEADLY IN THE BUSINESS! Maxwell goes right after Limmy, looking to nail a superkick, but Limmy ducks the superkick as Maxwell spins himself around due to missing the kick! Limmy manages to scoop Maxwell up and throw him into the corner with a lawn dart! Maxwell’s face eats the turnbuckle, causing him to stumble back! Limmy Monaghan jumps onto the shoulders of his former Insurgency brethren and connects with a posionrana!
Flannery McCoy: What in the f–
Jake Mercer: HOW? MAXWELL MANAGES TO FIND HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET WHEN LIMMY MONAGHAN CONNECTS WITH THE POISIONARANA! LIMMY TURNS HIMSELF AROUND AS MAXWELL IS STARING ACROSS HIS FORMER STABLEMATE, THE SAME MAN THAT SAID THAT MAXWELL WAS NEVER GOOD ENOUGH THEN AND NOW. Now, there’s a head tilt from the World Heavyweight Champion, who seemed a bit impressed by that, but it’s not going to make a difference going into this match! Limmy finds his way back to his feet as he gestures for Maxwell to come after him! MAXWELL RACES TO THE WORLD CHAMPION, WHO PICKS UP MAXWELL, SPINNING HIM AROUND BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN WITH AN ‘ABSOLUTE ZERO’ – THE HIGH-ANGLE URANAGE SLAM! MAXWELL IS CLUTCHING TO HIS LOWER BACK IN PAIN AS LIMMY STANDS BEHIND MAXWELL, PICKING HIM UP AND TAKING HIM BACK WITH A DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX!
Stew-O: But, it seems like Limmy Monaghan maintains control of the waist! He lifts up Maxwell for a second deadlift German! But, Limmy still has possession of Maxwell’s waist as it seems like we’re going to be seeing a third deadlift German and this time, Limmy sends Maxwell to the corner with that German! Maxwell tries to pick himself up using the top ropes to help him up! He has his back against the corner as Limmy charges at him with a hesitation dropkick to the corner! He sends Maxwell sitting on the second turnbuckle as Limmy begins to stand in front of Maxwell! His feet are placed on the second turnbuckle as well as Limmy is hovering over Maxwell! He begins to punch the top of Maxwell’s head –
Flannery McCoy: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN –Maxwell begins to lift Limmy Monaghan off in a powerbomb position – EIGHT! NINE! TEN! ELEVEN! MAXWELL SENDS LIMMY CRASHING ON HIS BACK WITH A POWERBOMB AS HE HOLDS LIMMY THERE FOR THE PINFALL ATTEMPT!
OOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWW–
Jake Mercer: Limmy Monaghan kicks out! Maxwell gets Limmy up and I think that he’s beginning to apply an abdominal stretch on the World Heavyweight Champion! Now, it’s interesting to go for something like this so early into the match, where both Elitists are quite fresh. I understand that it can be used to weaken them, but I would have figured that this would have been used towards the middle portion of the match. Around the beginning, I think it’s best to keep things rapid, trying to test the stamina of your opponent? If I was Maxwell, I wouldn’t be doing anything to delay the progression of this match! Now, I’m not a wrestler, but -–
Stew-O: Then, shut up. :wtf:
Flannery McCoy: Now, it seems like Maxwell might have listened to the ‘wonderful wrestler’ Jake Mercer and scoops up Limmy Monaghan and connects with a beautiful inverted powerslam, sending the World Champion face first behind Maxwell! NOW, MAXWELL IS APPROACHING LIMMY, FOLLOWING THAT BY ROLLING HIMSELF OVER AND CONNECTING WITH A LAST CHANCERY ON LIMMY! NOW, I THINK THAT MAXWELL IS LOOKING TO WRAP UP THE MATCH FOR HIMSELF QUICKLY VIA SUBMISSION! MAXWELL IS WRENCHING IN THE SUBMISSION HOLD AS LIMMY FINDS HIMSELF IN A BIT OF A DILEMMA! He knew that Maxwell was going to come into this match with a stepped up game, but it’s unclear on how stepped up Maxwell is from the last time that these two have been in the ring with each other! Limmy has his sights on the ropes ahead of him, but Maxwell is trying to keep Limmy’s arms away from those ropes!
Maxwell: (off-mic) You think that this is good enough, Lim? Is this good enough for you?
Jake Mercer: It seems like we’re going to be getting some of those mind games from Maxwell in this match! The story between these two is something that goes back about two years ago and obviously, Maxwell has never forgotten about what Limmy Monaghan contributed too and that was his dismissal from not only Insurgency, but EAW as a whole! LIMMY IS TRYING TO REMOVE THE GRASP THAT MAXWELL HAS ON HIM, BUT MAXWELL APPLIES MORE PRESSURE TO THE LAST CHANCERY! HE SEES THAT LIMMY IS TRYING TO SCRAMBLE ON HOW TO APPROACH THIS SITUATION! LIMMY IS TRYING TO DRAG HIS ENTIRE BODY TO THAT BOTTOM ROPE! HE KNOWS THAT HE CANNOT LET HIS TITLE REIGN SLIP FROM HIS GRASP! HIS REIGN IS ONLY ABOUT A MONTH OLD! HE KNOWS FOR A FACT THAT HE DID NOT BUST HIS BUTT OFF IN THAT EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER TO LOSE TONIGHT AND TO SOMEONE WHO HE SAID, WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
Stew-O: It seems like Limmy Monaghan was forced to think of another approach and he thought so quickly when he tried to roll himself out of the submission hold and possibly above Maxwell. Limmy is rolling himself to his left and on top of Maxwell in the process, but it seems like Maxwell is changing his approach in the match up as well! It seems like he’s applying a sleeperhold with a bodyscissors on the World Champion! Now, that was an interesting way to make sure that Limmy is not released from his grasps! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE LIMMY FINDS HIMSELF IN AN ALL FOURS POSITION, BUT MAXWELL IS NOT RELEASING THE SLEEPERHOLD! LIMMY IS ON JELLY-LEGS AT THE MOMENT AS HE TRIES TO FIND HIMSELF IN A VERTICAL BASE! MAXWELL IS SHAKING HIS HEAD NO AS LIMMY IS FINDING THE STRENGTH TO RISE BACK TO HIS FEET!
Flannery McCoy: BUT, MAXWELL TRIES TO KEEP THE TIDES OF THE MATCH IN HIS FAVOR BY CONNECTING WITH A DOUBLE-KNEE BACKBREAKER ON ‘THE LEADER.’ NOW, MAXWELL HAS LIMMY’S ARMS, EXTENDING THEM BACK, CONNECTING WITH A SURFBOARD, BUT IT’S NOT CONNECTED ENTIRELY AS LIMMY STILL HAS ONE FOOT ON THE MAT! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE MAXWELL MANAGES TO GET HIMSELF INTO A SEATED POSITION AS HE FULLY APPLIES THE SURFBOARD SRETCH ON LIMMY! Maxwell still has the arms extended back as Limmy is looking for a way to break himself from the grasp! Now, I’m not sure how long Maxwell can hold this on for! Either he gets tired of this move or Limmy’s arms fall off! There’s no in between!
Crowd: LET’S GO, LIMMY! 👏👏👏 👏 👏 👏 LET’S GO, LIMMY! 👏👏👏 👏 👏 👏
LET’S GO, LIMMY! 👏👏👏 👏 👏 👏 LET’S GO, LIMMY! 👏👏👏 👏 👏 👏 LET’S GO, LIMMY! 👏👏👏 👏 👏 👏 LET’S GO, LIMMY! 👏👏👏 👏 👏 👏
Jake Mercer: Maxwell is not liking the sound that the EAW Universe is making at the moment as he can feel some of his grasp slipping away from him! Limmy Monaghan is feeling the encouagement of the crowd! HE MANAGES TO BREAK ONE OF HIS ARMS FREE FROM MAXWELL, BUT MAXWELL HAS POSSESSION OF THE OTHER ARM! HE QUICKLY TRIES TO LOCK IN THE ARMBAR, BUT IT IS APPLIED WEAKLY AS LIMMY MANAGES TO FIND HIMSELF ON HIS FEET! BUT, MAXWELL IS SHAKING HIS HEAD! NOT ABLE TO RELEASE THE HOLD! LIMMY MANAGES TO POSITION MAXWELL INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION AS HE CONNECTS WITH A ONE-HANDED POWERBOMB ON THE CHALLENGER! Now, that is a way to get Maxwell away from you! The referee begins to check on Maxwell as Limmy is more than waiting for this match to continue!
Stew-O: The referee steps to the side, allowing for Limmy Monaghan to have a clear path to Maxwell! Maxwell begins to back himself away, ducking his head through the middle rope and out of the ring! Maxwell is demanding for the referee to back Limmy away from him! Now, Limmy seems to not be amused by this at all! He just wants to end this match as fast as possible, so he can move on from this little chapter with Maxwell! Slowly, Maxwell begins to get his body back inside the ring. He has his arms up, casually, but in defense, trying to not provoke Limmy! But, Maxwell delivers a huge kick to the ribs of the World Champion!
Flannery McCoy: LIMMY MONAGHAN MANAGES TO CATCH THE LEG OF MAXWELL! MAXWELL IS NOW TRYING TO REASON WITH LIMMY TO PUT HIS FOOT DOWN, BUT LIMMY TOSSES MAXWELL’S LEG TO THE SIDE! He takes down Maxwell with a superkick to the back of Maxwell’s head! This causes the challenger to stumble forward as Limmy charges at Maxwell and plants him down with a bulldog! Limmy finds his way back to his feet as he’s gesturing for Maxwell to get back to his feet as – ‘DIABLE JAMBE’ – THE BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE, BUT MAXWELL SAW THE KNEE STRIKE COMING AS THE CHALLENGER CATCHES THE CHAMPION, LIFTING HIM UP IN THE AIR WITH A LEG HOOK GERMAN SUPLEX! NOW, THAT WAS A NICE SUPLEX FROM ‘THE PRINCE REBORN!’ MAXWELL FINDS HIS WAY BACK TO HIS FEET AS HE STALKS FOR LIMMY TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET – SOMERSAULT NECKBREAKER ON THE WORLD CHAMPION! MAXWELL GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Limmy Monaghan with the kick out! Maxwell begins to apply a side headlock on the World Heavyweight Champion! Meanwhile, you can see that Limmy is finding a way back to his feet! He is wrenching in the headlock before breaking free, rebounding himself off the ropes in front of Limmy and knocking him down with a shoulder tackle! Meanwhile, Limmy races to the vertical set of ropes to his left, rebounds off of them, but Limmy maintains a planking position as Maxwell goes over him! Maxwell rebounds himself off the other set of vertical ropes as Limmy leapfrogs above him! MAXWELL REBOUNDS OFF THE OTHER SET OF ROPES FOR THE SECOND TIME AS LIMMY TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A PICTURE PERFECT DROPKICK! MEANWHILE, MAXWELL IS ABLE TO SIT HIMSELF UP! LIMMY IS ABLE TO GET MAXWELL BY THE NAPE OF HIS NECK AND UP TO HIS FEET! HE GRABS MAXWELL BY THE ARM AND WHIPS HIM TO THE CORNER! MAXWELL MANAGES TO CLUTCH ONTO THE ROPES ON THE SIDES OF THE TURNBUCKLE AS LIMMY CHARGES –
Stew-O: – LIMMY MONAGHAN CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! THIS CAUSES MAXWELL TO STUMBLE FORWARD AS LIMMY SPIKES HIM DOWN WITH A BULLDOG! NOW, LIMMY MANAGES TO GET HIMSELF TO HIS FEET AS MAXWELL IS SHORTLY FOLLOWING AFTER AS LIMMY CONNECTS WITH ‘DIABLE JAMBE’ – THE BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE CONNECTS TO THE FACE OF THE CHALLENGER! NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE LIMMY IS LOOKING TO WRAP UP THIS MATCH, BUT SITTING MAXWELL ON HIS SHOULDERS – ‘GOD’S WRATH!’
Flannery McCoy: No! Maxwell slides off the shoulders of Limmy Monaghan and gets behind him! Maxwell rolls himself out of the ring as the EAW Universe begins to boo Maxwell! Maxwell pretends to look at his wrist, like he’s looking at a wristwatch! There’s no worry on the face of the challenger, which is weird because Limmy was moments away from retaining the World Heavyweight Championship! The referee is ordering for Maxwell to get himself back inside the ring, but Maxwell is taking his sweet time! He’s got nothing to worry about at all!
(The EAW Universe begins to stomp to the beat of the ‘Rise of the Terminator.’ There, you can sense that Limmy Monaghan is feeding the energy of the crowd. He is feeling himself getting fired up as the stomps get more aggressive and louder.)
Jake Mercer: When that beat plays, you need to know to get the heck out of the way! That could only mean one thing – Limmy Monaghan is gonna show everyone why he’s ✨him. ✨
Stew-O: LIMMY MONAGHAN REBOUNDS OFF THE SET OF ROPES BEHIND HIM AND LAUNCHES HIMSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE! SOMERSAULT PLANCHA TO MAXWELL ON THE OUTSIDE! DID YOU SEE THE HEIGHT THAT LIMMY WENT ON? LIMMY CRASHES RIGHT ON TOP OF MAXWELL AS LIMMY FINDS HIS WAY BACK TO HIS FEET INSTANTLY! The crowd is applauding Limmy as Maxwell must have had the air knocked out of him with that move! He finds himself in a crawling position and it seems like he’s trying to head behind our table! :comeagain:
(Maxwell is seen going around behind the announcer’s table, getting in between the spot of Stew-O and Jake Mercer. It seems like he’s fiddling with something, but the cameras aren’t able to pick it up.)
Flannery McCoy: Is Maxwell trying to hide? But, Limmy Monaghan is not going to allow Maxwell to hide from this match! Maxwell wanted the match! He wanted the opportunity to become World Heavyweight Champion? Limmy goes to meet up with Maxwell and sees him, but –
Jake Mercer: MAXWELL SWINGS A PUNCH AT LIMMY MONAGHAN AND ARE THOSE BRASS KNUCKLES IN HIS POSSESSION?!?!? :comeagain:
Stew-O: Maxwell is so quick to slide them off and hide them! Maxwell grabs Limmy Monaghan by his hair and throws another punch as that takes the World Heavyweight Championship away from our little area! But, can you spot where he threw the brass knuckles at?
(The camera pans to Jake Mercer seeing a pair of brass knuckles underneath his shoe. Jake begins to pick them up and show the other commentators them.)
Flannery McCoy: Did you not feel that at all?
Jake Mercer: I actually did not. But, that’s brilliant from Maxwell. I’m not going to lie. I don’t think the referee even noticed it. He hasn’t rang for any bells or called out Maxwell! Speaking of Maxwell, he takes Limmy Monaghan and throws him head first onto the steel steps! THE CLANGING OF THE STEEL STEPS IS HEARD AS LIMMY’S HEAD COLLIDED WITH THOSE STEPS HARSHLY! MAXWELL GETS A FISTFULL OF LIMMY’S HAIR BEFORE SLAMMING IT BACK AGAINST THE STEEL STEPS! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! MAXWELL IS MAKING LIMMY LOOK HIM IN THE EYE, SEEING THAT THE MAN HE IS TODAY IS ALL OF LIMMY AND INSURGENCY’S DOING! NOW, LIMMY IS GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL OF THAT! Now, we see Maxwell picking up Limmy, placing him on the apron! Maxwell is stepping onto the apron as well and I’m not quite sure what Maxwell is planning to do here but –
Stew-O: – ‘MAXED OUT’ – THE SIDEWINDER SUPLEX ON THE APRON AS LIMMY MONAGHAN’S SPINE COLLIDES ON THE EDGE OF THE APRON AS HE FALLS BACK ONTO RINGSIDE! MAXWELL JUMPS BACK ONTO RINGSIDE AS HE’S LOOKING DOWN AT LIMMY, WHO IS STRUGGLING TO GET HIMSELF INTO A VERTICAL BASE! WHEN LIMMY GETS TO A CRAWLING BASE, MAXWELL RUNS TO THE WORLD CHAMPION, NAILING HIM WITH A RUNNING SOMERSAULT NECKBREAKER! Limmy is sent to his back as Maxwell dusts his hands off and then his shoulders off! You can see a bit of confidence on the face of Maxwell, who is really liking the direction of the match! Now, Maxwell grabs Limmy by the nape of his neck and then gets into position by clutching ‘The Leader’s’ arm and whipping him to the steel ring post! Limmy’s spine totally felt that, guys! Just look at his face!
Flannery McCoy: MAXWELL ROLLS HIMSELF BACK INTO THE RING AND STRETCHES LIMMY MONAGHAN’S ARMS BACK! WITH THAT, LIMMY’S SPINE IS BEING PRESSED AGAINST THAT STEEL RING POST! MAXWELL HAS THE CHAMPION’S ARMS STRETCHED BACK AT THE SAME TIME! Maxwell is demanding for the referee to ask Limmy if he wants to submit, but Limmy is shaking his head no! Limmy refuses to throw in the towel! This causes Maxwell to stretch the arms back even more and it seems like the referee may need to begin a count here!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! LET GO, MAXWELL!
Jake Mercer: Maxwell releases the hold, which causes Limmy Monaghan to fall forward! Maxwell rolls himself out of the ring and shoves Limmy front-first against the edge of the barricade! But, Maxwell manages to get Limmy and throw him back against the edge of the apron! Maxwell grabs Limmy by one of his arms and whips him front-first against the barricade! He follows that up by getting Limmy by the waist and taking him back with a nasty back suplex! Limmy lands on the back of his head on the edge of the apron as Maxwell seems to have a casual smirk on his face! He begins to sit on top of the apron, looking at Limmy, who is struggling to pick himself up!
Maxwell: (off-mic) Was that good enough for you, Limmy?
(No response.)
Maxwell: (off-mic) Why so silent, Lim?
Stew-O: MAXWELL DROPS DOWN FROM THE APRON TO SLAP THE BACK OF LIMMY MONAGHAN’S HEAD! :damn: Now, in what world is that smart to do?
Flannery McCoy: No one. :wtf: MAXWELL SLAPS THE BACK OF LIMMY MONAGHAN’S HEAD AGAIN! IT SEEMS LIKE MAXWELL IS TRYING TO BAIT LIMMY. HE WANTS TO SEE LIMMY THROWN OFF HIS GAME. SLAP. SLAP. SLAP. MAXWELL IS NOT HOLDING BACK WITH THOSE SLAPS TO THE BACK OF THE WORLD CHAMPION’S HEAD! YOU CAN SEE THE LOOK ON LIMMY’S FACE! HE IS MORE THAN IRRITATED AS HE’S SHAKING HIS HEAD NO!
Maxwell: (off-mic) I thought that this was your prophecy, pal. The one thing that you’ve wanted for so long. Don’t you want to be champion?
Jake Mercer: Maxwell continues to slap the back of Limmy Monaghan’s head, BUT LIMMY IS STARTING TO FIND A WAY BACK TO HIS FEET! EACH OF THOSE SLAPS TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD ARE GOING TO MAKE WHATEVER NEXT MOVE MAXWELL GETS FEEL *THAT* MUCH MORE PERSONAL. LIMMY RISES BACK TO HIS FEET AS HE TURNS AROUND TO FACE MAXWELL.
Limmy Monaghan: https://tenor.com/view/interrogate-interrogation-you-done-fucked-up-done-fucked-up-now-you-see-now-gif-13098562
Stew-O: ‘DIABLE JAMBE’ ON MAXWELL AS THAT SENDS HIM FLYING BACK! LIMMY BEGINS TO UNLOAD WITH FISTS OF FURY ON THE CHALLENGER! MAXWELL IS TRYING TO COVER HIS FACE, BUT LIMMY IS NAILING HIM WITH EACH SHOT TO THE FACE! MAXWELL IS TRYING TO SHOVE LIMMY OFF OF HIM! Maxwell is now trying to recover from this situation as he begins to make his way up the ramp, but Limmy races after Maxwell, grabbing onto the tights and pulling him back! LIMMY GETS MAXWELL INTO POSITION BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A ‘BANKAI’ – THE SIDE HEAD-AND-ARM SUPLEX ON THE METAL RAMP! MAXWELL ROLLS HIMSELF DOWN THE RAMP AS THE TWO ELITISTS ARE NOW HEADED DOWN BACK TO RINGSIDE!
Flannery McCoy: Limmy Monaghan goes to retrieve Maxwell up to his feet, but Maxwell snaps back up, delivering an uppercut that sends the World Champion back! MAXWELL GRABS LIMMY, CONNECTING WITH A CRAVATE KNEE LIFT BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE! ‘SILVERSTRUCK’ CONNECTS TO LIMMY! THAT WONDERFUL COMBO! MAXWELL HAS A SMIRK ON HIS FACE AS HE ROLLS LIMMY BACK INSIDE THE RING! MAXWELL ROLLS HIMSELF BACK INTO THE RING SOON AFTER AS MAXWELL GETS LIMMY INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION! IS MAXWELL LOOKING TO WRAP UP THIS MATCH FOR HIMSELF AND BECOME THE NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
Jake Mercer: IT SEEMS LIKE IT, FLANN! ‘M.F. 2’ – THE POWERBOMB TRANSITIONED TO A CUTTER ON LIMMY MONAGHAN!
Stew-O: But, LIMMY MONAGHAN MANAGES TO SLIDE OUT OF THE HOLD! HE NAILS A SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF MAXWELL’S SKULL! MAXWELL DROPS TO HIS KNEES AS LIMMY GETS IN FRONT OF HIS CHALLENGER AND NAILS HIM WITH ‘DIABLE JAMBE!’ THAT WAS ENOUGH TO SEND MAXWELL BACK! BUT, MAXWELL LAUNCHES FORWARD, NAILING LIMMY WITH A PUNCH! LIMMY RETURNS THE FAVOR BY DELIVERING A PUNCH OF HIS OWN! MAXWELL THROWS ANOTHER PUNCH THAT STAGGERS LIMMY BACK! LIMMY WITH A PUNCH THAT STAGGERS MAXWELL BACK! LIMMY! MAXWELL! LIMMY! MAXWELL! LIMMY! MAXWELL! LIMMY! MAXWELL! MAXWELL! MAXWELL! MAXWELL! Limmy is backed against the horizontal set of ropes, but that has not stopped Maxwell from throwing in his punches! He is going frantic with those punches as the referee needs to back him away from Limmy!
Flannery McCoy: Maxwell and the referee are bickering with each other, giving Limmy Monaghan the time that he needs to rise himself back to his feet! Limmy is catching his breath for the time being as Maxwell goes to resume his offense on Limmy! He picks up Limmy and throws him back with a t-bone suplex! Maxwell follows that up by delivering a back thrust kick that sends Limmy down to one knee! MAXWELL RUNS AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES AND CONNECTS WITH A SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF LIMMY’S HEAD! NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE MAXWELL IS GETTING LIMMY, UNDERHOOKING BOTH OF HIS ARMS AND I THINK THAT HE’S GOING TO GO FOR THE DOUBLE FALLING UNDERHOOK POWERBOMB – ‘OVERDRIVE’ CONNECTS AS MAXWELL GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Limmy Monaghan with the kick out! Maxwell is starting to feel a bit annoyed as he begins to club the back of the World Heavyweight Champion’s head! Limmy has taken quite a bit of these shots to the head from Maxwell in this match! To me, it seems like his way of trying to wear down the champion. If he was lucky, would Limmy develop some sort of concussion to call this match off?
Stew-O: There is a part of me that feels like with each of those shots to the back of his head, it gets more personal for Maxwell! Now, Maxwell is picking up Limmy by that mop full of hair! HE DELIVERS A CRAVATE KNEE BEFORE FOLLOWING THAT WITH A CLOTHESLINE, ANOTHER ‘SILVERSTRUCK’ AS MAXWELL HAS THAT LOOK ON HIS FACE THAT TELLS HIM THAT HE’S MORE THAN WORE DOWN LIMMY ENOUGH TO END THIS MATCH AND PROVE TO LIMMY MONAGHAN ONCE AND FOR ALL THAT HE’S MORE THAN GOOD ENOUGH – HE’S BETTER THAN THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION HIMSELF. MAXWELL LOOKS LIKE HE’S GOING FOR ‘RE-BOURNE’ – THE PERUVIAN NECKTIE! Maxwell was able to slip in that move quite flawlessly with no sign of struggle from the champion! I think that those shots to the back of the head might have knocked out Limmy!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT, BUT LIMMY MONAGHAN IS CLUTCHING HIS FIST! HE IS STILL ALIVE IN THIS MATCH AS HE’S TRYING TO TURN MAXWELL’S RIGHT LEG OVER, SO THAT MAXWELL’S LEG IS AWAY FROM LIMMY’S NECK! THEN, LIMMY IS TRYING TO PRY MAXWELL’S HANDS AWAY FROM HIS NECK AREA! LIMMY MANAGES TO RIP THEM APART, AFTER SOME EFFORT! BUT, BEFORE MAXWELL CAN REALLY THINK ABOUT WHAT TO DO NEXT, LIMMY TURNS HIMSELF AROUND, BUT MAXWELL MANAGES TO APPLY LEG SCISSORS AROUND LIMMY’S NECK!
Jake Mercer: NO! LIMMY MONAGHAN RISES UP TO HIS FEET AND HE HAS MAXWELL WITH HIM! MAXWELL’S LEGS ARE INTERTWINED WITH THOSE LEG SCISSORS, BUT HE IS PLACED ON THE SHOULDERS OF LIMMY! MAXWELL IS PANICKING! HE’S TRYING TO REGAIN HIS BALANCE, BUT THE PANICKING ISN’T HELPING! HE REALIZES THAT HE MAY NOT BE IN THE BEST POSITION TO BE AS – ‘GOD’S WRATH’ CONNECTS! THE ONE-HANDED ELECTRIC-CHAIR DRIVER ON MAXWELL AS LIMMY HOLDS HIM THERE FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Stew-O: THAT IS IT, LIMMY RETAINS!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Limit Break x Survivor’ plays once again as the crowd in the Rogers Arena begins to pop as Limmy Monaghan rolls off Maxwell. The referee hands Limmy Monaghan the World Heavyweight Championship before helping him back to his feet.)
Stephie Love: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH AND **STILL* EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION…LIMMY MONAGHAN!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: The reign of ‘The Leader’ continues as he successfully puts away his former Insurgency brethren, Maxwell!
Jake Mercer: Maxwell looked amazing out there. I’m not going to lie, but that boy returned and exceeded many expectations of what we could expect from this match. He would have loved to cut Limmy Monaghan’s reign short, but Limmy, man, on another level and while Maxwell has grown from the last time that we saw him in a championship match, Limmy has grown as well.
(Limmy Monaghan crotches down to look at Maxwell, who is still reeling in the after effects of ‘God’s Wrath.’ Limmy has his championship down to his shoulder.)
Limmy Monaghan: (off-mic) It was good, Max. :notbad:
Maxwell: https://tenor.com/view/madcat-ygzcat-cat-pussy-madpussy-gif-24909889
Limmy Monaghan: (off-mic) But, not good enough.
(Maxwell is being rolled out of the ring by the referee. With that, Limmy Monaghan begins to celebrate a successful title defense inside the ring. The last shot is of Limmy raising the World Heavyweight Championship above his head.)
( The graphic for the upcoming match appears on the screen. )
( The scene fades back into the show as Gina Romano stands in the middle of the ring, beaming from cheek to cheek, and starts announcing the match. )
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING TAG TEAM MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR….

Gavin Kirkland: Oh wow, I love the energy of the crowd here tonight in Vancouver! I’m sure they adore their heroes! These people adore Xander Payne and Ryan Wilson!
Deadprez: Absolutely, Gavin. Judging from the volume, audacity, and everything… it’s just fantastic to behold these people displaying their love and respect for Xander and Ryan! You have to admit, whether they are bad or good people. These people will forever respect Xander and Ryan for being two of the proud Canadian wrestlers out here. Especially Xander who has done so much for EAW and made his name remarkable.
( Xander and Ryan enter the ring and continue to energize the crowd. Xander’s theme song is replaced by “Pinky! Pinky!” by The Idol Formerly Known as LADYBABY. Usagi Senshi and Ayu Megumi, the Ice Aces, come out in dark magic maid outfits. Usagi also sports blonde highlights in her hair tonight. The crowd welcomes them with a favorable reaction, albeit not as loud as Xander and Ryan’s one. Usagi and Ayu hold each other hands and make their way to the ring. )
Gina Romano: THEIR OPPONENTS!…. AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 230 POUNDS…. THE TEAM OF AYU MEGUMI AND USAGI SENSHI…. THEY ARE!…. THEEEEEEEEEEE ICEEEEEEEEEEEE ACESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Ice Aces managed to earn HUGE success at Road To Redemption last year. ARIA managed to capture the Specialist title, and Ice Aces defeated Candice Blair and Sierra Everett. Tonight, would they be able to defeat Xander Payne and Ryan Joseph Wilson, Gavin? uh….
Gavin Kirkland: https://tenor.com/view/aleister-black-entrance-wwe-smack-down-live-wrestling-gif-13632748
( Gavin pulls out a pink headband and puts it on. He grabs a concert penlight and starts waving it around, showing his support for The Ice Aces. )
Gavin Kirkland: LET’S GO, MY BEAUTIFUL QUEENS! I LOVE ALL OF YOU! I KNOW YOU CAN DO THIS! MUAW!
Deadprez: Nevermind. What about you, Persephone?
Persephone: I… can’t wait to see this! Yes! It’s going to be a very interesting match, woohoo! That’s all!
( DING DING DING! )
Deadprez: Ryan Wilson and Ayu Megumi start the match as legal competitors. Ryan appears focused and determined, mirroring Ayu’s appearance as she aims to secure a win for Ice Aces with all her heart. The two meet in the middle of the ring and engage in a collar and elbow tie-up. Ryan leverages his strength to put Ayu at a disadvantage, pushing her toward the ropes. However, just as Ayu’s back is about to touch the ropes, she swiftly switches positions and gets Ryan leaning against them instead. Ayu then takes a step back…
Gavin Kirkland: Ryan goes for a roundhouse kick, but Ayu quickly ducks and rolls down to the middle of the ring. In response, Ryan springs back to his feet and attempts to take Ayu down with a Backdrop Suplex. Ayu counters with a right elbow, causing Ryan to drop. Ayu then grabs Ryan and sends him down to the floor with a Snapmare, before hitting him with a single leg dropkick from behind.
Deadprez: Ryan quickly recognizes the danger and ducks under. He rolls back to his feet and pushes Ayu down to the ropes.…. JUMPS UP AND A TILT-A-WHIRL DDT SPIKES RYAN TO THE MAT!
Gavin Kirkland: Ryan got in trouble! Now, he’s in a bad position, and Ayu goes down to the corner. Ryan looks up to his opponent…. AYU IS OFF! SHE IS MOVING AT LIGHTNING-FAST SPEEDS AND ‘ISEKAI’, A HIDDEN BLADE! HIGH IMPACT SWINGING BACK ELBOW BY AYU CONNECTING RYAN EARLI-
Persephone: Ryan moves out of his way to the outside!
Gavin Kirkland: Ayu pulls a break and looks down at Ryan who starts leaning against the barricade. The crowd doesn’t seem to be pleased with his action.
Persephone: I think they want to watch Ryan’s butt getting kicked by a little girl!
Gavin Kirkland: Little? Nah she-
Persephone: I don’t want to hear it, bro.
Deadprez: Ryan takes his time to catch a break…. BUT AYU DOESN’T LIKE WAITING AND TILT-A-WHIRL HEADSCISSORS TAKEDOWN FROM THE APRON, TAKING RYAN OUT! WHAT AN IMPRESSIVE MOVE SHOWING BY AYU RIGHT THERE!
Gavin Kirkland: She’s THE AMAZING GIRL for a reason! Ayu pushes herself off the concrete floor, picking Ryan up and throwing him back inside the ring. Ayu slides in… Oh hey! Xander tries to get inside the ring to help his tag team partner!
( Xander tries to get inside the ring to attack Ayu, but the referee tries to prevent him from the attack as he tries to calm Xander down and signal him to get back behind the ropes. Xander looks at Ayu with a scowl on his face, pointing at Ayu with aggression and yelling. )
Xander Payne (Off-Mic): *yelling* HEY! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I SWEAR TO GOD I’M GOING TO GET DOWN THERE AND RIP THAT STUPID SMILE OFF YOUR FACE!
Ayu Megumi: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Persephone: OH LOOK! Ryan rises from behind, taking Ayu down with a quick Roll-up! All thanks to his tag team partner!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THRE-
Gavin Kirkland: AYU WITH A KICK OUT! Close one right there. Ryan and Ayu get back to their feet at the same time. Ayu throws a Cyclone Kick at Ryan, but Ryan catches her leg, pulling Ayu in, spinning her around, and attacking her with Atomic Drop! Ryan hangs it on, seizing her head, and a bulldog plants Ayu’s face first! Ryan slowly rolls back to his feet, grabs Ayu by her wrist, and drags her down over to his team’s corner….
( TAG! )
Gavin Kirkland: Xander tags Ryan by his shoulder, and he enters the ring. Ryan picks Ayu, connecting her with an enzuigiri! Ayu falling back… INTO A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX BY XANDER, DRIVING THE BACK OF HER HEAD TO THE GROUND! Xander scrambles to his feet while Ayu is still dazed by the move.
Deadprez: Ayu is in the middle of the ring, and Xander sets his sight on the mark…. CHARGING TOWARDS AYU AND ‘HEATSEEKER’ !!! A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE BY XANDER PAYNE!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: AYU WITH AN AXE KICK STOPPING XANDER FROM ATTACKING HER JUST IN TIME! Ayu steps back away from Xander…. TAKING HIM OUT THIS TIME WITH A SUPERMAN PUNCH!
Deadprez: XANDER SIDESTEPS AND GOES UNDER AYU’S SHOULDER INSTEAD!…. SETTING HER UP FOR A MICHINOKU DRIVER! XANDER LIFTS HER UP HIGH….
Deadprez: AYU MANAGES TO SLIP OUT INTO A SLINGBLADE TAKING DOWN THE FORMER WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
Gavin Kirkland: Xander’s down! Ayu struggles to crawl down to tag her partner! Usagi reaches her hand out, looking to become a legal competitor in this match instea-
Persephone: RYAN JUMPS OVER THE ROPES, RUNNING ACROSS THE RING TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE… POW! HE TAKES USAGI OFF THE APRON DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE WITH A HELLUVA KICK!
Deadprez: Usagi tries to pick herself up on the outside after the kick. Ryan positions himself inside the ring…. AND KEEPS HER REMAINING ON THE GROUND WITH A SUICIDE DIVE, WILLING TO TAKE A BIG RISK TO EXECUTE A BIG MOVE AND MAKE AN IMPACT! Ayu grabs the second rope and doesn’t seem to have time to think of her partner. Xander starts coming back to his feet.
Gavin Kirkland: Ayu steps in…. USING THE EDGE OF HER OPEN HAND TO STRIKE XANDER WITH A LOUD, SHARP SLAP BUT XANDER STOPS HER WITH A STIFF FOREARM SMASH!….
Gavin Kirkland: TRIPPING AYU WITH A DOUBLE LEG SWEEP…. COMING BACK TO HIS FEET AND CONNECTING AYU WITH A JUMPING SEATED SENTON!
Deadprez: AYU ROLLS OUT OF HER WAY! XANDER LEANS FORWARD AND DROPS HIS BODY ONTO THE MAT, LANDING HIS BACK AND DRIVING IT INTO THE MAT! Xander groans out in pain while Ayu, who just moved from where she was, comes back to her feet. Xander holds down his back…. AND AYU POPS BACK TO HER FEET, TAKING XANDER OUT RIGHT AWAY WITH A DISCUS LARIAT!
Persephone: Oh Jesus Christ, can we get a replay of that Lariat? That seems to be really hurt.
( Replay: In slow motion, we can see Ayu’s arm as it builds momentum, spinning around in a circular motion, generating power with each rotation. The arm becomes a blur as it moves faster and faster. As Xander makes contact with his opponent, we can see Xander’s face contort in pain as the discus lariat connects DIRECTLY to his nose. The force of the impact causes Xander’s head to snap back, his body falls to the ground and his nose is visibly distorted.)
Persephone: Well that’s for sure straight out of Japan. :lupe:
( Ayu walks in and starts pushing Xander’s head repeatedly. )
Ayu Megumi (Off-Mic): What’s wrong, huh? That’s all you got?… THAT’S ALL YOU GOT?????
Gavin Kirkland: ‘OVERDOSE’ !!!!!!!!!!! ALREADY? A DEVASTATING PALM STRIKE KNOCKS AYU OUT COLD RIGHT AWAY! NOW THAT’S A WAKE-UP CALL BY THE HALL OF FAMER, FOLKS! XANDER JUMPS IN QUICKLY AND STRIKES AYU MULTIPLE TIMES WITH HIS CLOSED FISTS! SHOT AFTER SHOT AFTER SHOT AFTER SHOT! ABSOLUTELY RELENTLESS!
Deadprez: Now look at how Xander goes here! Ayu just picked the wrong fight, I’ll tell ya! Xander drags her down to the middle of the ring and TOSSES THE BACK OF HER NECK RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE TURNBUCKLE! The referee tries to stop Xander, but he isn’t done. Xander needs to give this girl a good lesson! Xander grabs Ayu by her head…. USING HER FACE TO SMASH THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! AGAIN! AGAIN! AND AGAIN! Oh boy, Xander is having a field day right now. The referee reaches his hand out, but Xander slaps it away, and makes his way down to the opposite corner from where Ayu is….
Deadprez: RUNNING BACK TO WHERE IT STARTS AND CONNECTS AYU WITH ‘HEATWAVE’ !!!!!!!! A CORNER CANNONBALL BY XANDER!
Gavin Kirkland: BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! USAGI MANAGES TO ESCAPE RYAN WHO TRIES TO AVOID HER FROM GETTING BACK INSIDE THE RING AND SAVES AYU WITH A SUPERKICK DROPPING THE FORMER WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION DOWN TO THE GROUND! Usagi quickly takes responsibility for taking care of her girlfriend as she checks and ensures that Ayu is okay.
( Usagi starts checking on Ayu as Ayu tries to regain consciousness. )
Usagi Senshi (Off-Mic): You alright?
Ayu Megumi (Off-Mic): Yeah I’m fi- WAIT USAGI, LOOK OUT!
Persephone: A DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF USAGI’S HEAD FROM RYAN! Usagi crashes down into Ayu, sending her back down to the ground!
Deadprez: Now Ryan quickly gets back to his feet and drags Usagi down to the middle of the ring. Ryan starts picking her up and throws her outside. Usagi says hang on as she goes through the ropes and lands both feet on the apron. Ryan turns back around and tries to take Usagi down to the outside this time, but Usagi catches Ryan with a forearm smash! Usagi pulls him through the ropes down to the apron…
Deadprez: YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! USAGI IS GOING FOR A TIGER SUPLEX ON THE APRON! THAT’S GOING TO KILL RYAN!
Gavin Kirkland: RYAN DOESN’T THINK SO! RYAN TRIES TO FIGHT BACK TO AVOID THE MOVE! HE SHAKES BOTH LEGS AND LANDS ON THE APRON WITH BOTH FEET TOUCHING THE SURFACE! RYAN PUSHES USAGI AWAY, RUNNING IN AND TRYING TO TAKE USAGI DOWN THIS TIME!…..

( Usagi and Ryan fall off the apron and end up lying on the concrete floor in pain. )
Deadprez: Ayu and Xander come back to their feet. Xander got back first, running in and trying to take Ayu down at the corner but Ayu stepping out of the corner, bringing Xander’s both feet up to the middle rope…. AND CONNECTING HIM WITH A CHEEKY NANDOS KICK WITH HIS FACE! Ayu gently throws Xander down from the middle rope down to the ring. She goes through the ropes while Xander is on both knees…. PULLING THE TOP ROPE AND SETTING XADNER RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A SLINGSHOT DDT! Ayu slides in as she goes for a cover, looking to score a pinfall for the team’s victory!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Xander gets his shoulder off the mat, showing there is more work that The Ice Aces need to put in to beat their enemies tonight! Ayu rolls off Xander down to the corner behind her. She grabs the middle rope, helping herself get back to both feet while Xander is also recovering. Ayu got first this time, and Xander just got to both knees….
Gavin Kirkland: AYU RUNS IN AND ‘ETHEREAL BLADE’ TAKING THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION OUT! CLAYMORE KICK TO THE GLORY OF THE ICE ACES!
Persephone: XANDER SIDESTEPS TO BEHIND, CATCHING AYU OFF GUARD AND LIFTING HER UP…. ‘ HOLY COMMUNION’ !!!!!!!!!! I STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO MEAN, BUT ALL I KNOW IS HE JUST DROPPED AYU TO THE GROUND WITH HIS OWN VERSION OF TORTURE RACK NECKBREAKER!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Xander doesn’t feel like he wants to go for a cover yet. Xander gets Ayu back to her feet right after he takes her down with the move. Xander sends her to the ropes….
Gavin Kirkland: AYU BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES, XANDER SHOVING HER UP TO THE AIR AND LOOKING FOR ‘LAST SEDATION’ !!!!!!! A POP-UP POWERBOMB THAT TOOK RONN BANKS OUT AT PAIN FOR PRIDE LAST YEAR!

Ryan slides back inside the ring instead, pulling Ayu back upon her feet, and A SLAP GOING RIGHT ACROSS HER FACE! ANOTHER SLAP… AND ANOTHER SLAP!
Persephone: Damn, is this man’s mother been teaching him like that, so he learned to use it against women?
Gavin Kirkland: Well, I guess so? None of us here is his mother. Ryan pulls Ayu back to both feet by her hair and sends her down to the ropes. Ayu uses both arms to hang two ropes. Ryan turns back around as he runs in. Ayu lifts one leg up, pushing Ryan back inside the ring. Ayu goes behind the ropes….
Gavin Kirkland: JUMPING OFF THE ROPES AGAIN AS SHE GOES FOR A SPRINGBOARD FOREARM SMASH FOR THE SECOND ROPE! RYAN STEPS IN AND CATCHES AYU THIS TIME WITH A DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER! XANDER QUICKLY GETS BACK TO HIS FEET AND GOES BEHIND AYU…. GRABBING BOTH LEGS AND DROPS AYU TO THE CANVAS WITH A WHEELBARROW SUPLEX!

Persephone: :wow:
Gavin Kirkland: Usagi starts picking Ryan first while Xander is still lying on the ground…. USAGI LIFTS RYAN UP AND DROPS HIM ONTO XANDER’S GUT CRASH AND BURN WITH A HALF AND HALF SUPLEX!
Deadprez: Usagi pushes Xander off Ryan’s body, a hook to Ryan’s leg as she goes for a cover!

THREE-
Persephone: Xander kicks out, leaving nothing but disappointment all over her face. Well…. do better!
Gavin Kirkland: Usagi rises to her feet as Ryan struggles from the impact of catching Xander with his gut. Ryan holds his gut and rolls down to the bottom rope, grabbing it to pull himself back up. He turns around, Usagi charges in and Ryan sends her flying over the ropes. Usagi lands both feet on the apron. Ryan turns back around…. caught by an Enzuigiri from Usagi, sending him back down to the middle of the ring. Usagi steps inside the ri-
Deadprez: …Xander arrives and tries to drag Usagi down to the outside by grabbing her leg. Usagi fights back by kicking Xander in the face. Xander falls back to the commentary table as Usagi enters the ring….. RYAN SUDDENLY HITS A SPINNING HEEL KICK, TAKING USAGI DOWN!!!! He throws her to outside…. FOLLOWS HER WITH A SUICIDE DIVE.
Gavin Kirkland: RIGHT IN THE AIR, RYAN IS TAKEN DOWN BY A BICYCLE KICK FROM AYU MEGUMI. Ayu helps Usagi back up and the two women start to pick Ryan up…. THEY GRAB HIM AND THROW HIM INTO THE BARRICADE WITH FORCE! Ryan is down! Xander starts getting back to both feet. Both women turn their attention back to Xander, looking at each other and seeming like they are coming to an agreement on their next move….. AYU GOES FOR ‘ETHEREAL BLADE’ !!!!!!! A CLAYMORE KICK ON THE OUTSIDE!
Persephone: NO NO, XANDER LIFTS AYU UP HIGH ON HIS SHOULDERS… GUYS, LOOK OUT!….
Gavin Kirkland: POWERBOMB THROUGH THE COMMENTARY TABLE!… WAIT, THAT MEANS XANDER JUST HIT AYU WITH ‘LAST SENDATION’ THROUGH THE TABLE???????? THAT’S GAME OVER FOR ICE ACES THERE! ONE OF THEM IS ALREADY GONE!
( The crowd boos loudly as Xander stands there with a smirk on his face, happy with the damage he has inflicted on Ayu. He nonchalantly shrugs his shoulders and turns back to face Usagi…. )
Gavin Kirkland: Uh oh.
Usagi Senshi: …..
Xander Payne (Off-Mic): Oh what, you mad? Want to cry about it?-
Deadprez: BAM! USAGI CONNECTS WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE ON XANDER! SHE IS GETTING REVENGE FOR XANDER HURTING SOMEONE PRECIOUS TO HER. USAGI IS RELENTLESS, DELIVERING BLOW AFTER BLOW TO XANDER, PUNCHING HIM EVERYWHERE! THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR, XANDER!
Referee: ONE!…. Hey! Get back inside the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: Ryan comes from behind and tries to drag Usagi away from Xander. Usagi grabs Ryan and throws him RIGHT into the ring post! Usagi turns back around… XANDER JUMPS BACK IN AND THROWS A PUNCH AFTER PUNCH AT USAGI AS A PAYBACK! OH HERE WE GO, BOTH XANDER AND USAGI ARE GOING AT EACH OTHER! THEY ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF BLOOD RIGHT THERE!
Persephone: While these two are fighting, Ryan heads back inside the ring and looks back at those two fightings….
Referee: TWO!….. THREE!….
Deadprez: Usagi drives her knee right into Xander’s gut and sends him right into the barricade…. BUT XANDER PUSHES HIMSELF OFF THE BARRICADE AND CHARGES RIGHT AT USAGI WITH A RIGHT HAND…. PULLING HER HAIR AND DRIVING HER FACE RIGHT INTO THE EDGE OF THE BARRICADE!
Referee: FOUR!…. FIVE!….
Deadprez: Usagi…. ISN’T BACKING DOWN, SHE GRABS XANDER AND DOES THE SAME THING HE DID! XANDER iSN’T GOING DOWN EITHER! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON????
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT HERE COMES RYAN! ……. A PICTURE-PERFECT SPACEMAN MOONSAULT PLANCHA IS TAKING EVERYBODY OUT! WOW!
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: THIS IS AWESOME! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: THIS IS AWESOME! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Gavin Kirkland: The crowd loves this, I can tell. This is a great tag team match that I’ve been looking forward to and I KNOW it’s not going to disappoint us AT ALL! Ryan rises slowly back to his feet and then picks up Usagi and throws her back into the ring. Ryan has both feet on the apron and Usagi starts pushing herself off the mat….
Gavin Kirkland: RYAN JUMPS AND TAKES USAGI DOWN WITH A PHENOMENAL FOREARM! DOWN GOES USAGI! RYAN JUMPS IN, GOING FOR A COVER ON USAGI! AYU IS STILL DOWN! THIS IS A GOOD CHANCE FOR THEM!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
….
THREEEEEEE-
Deadprez: Usagi gets her shoulder off the mat! The match continues, and we are still going to keep finding out who the winners of this match are going to be! Usagi is now all by herself while her partner is still out.
Gavin Kirkland: This is definitely a terrible situation for Usagi to be in. Ryan reaches both feet, heading down to the corner behind him and going up to the second rope. Usagi gets herself back to her feet this time….
Gavin Kirkland: A DIVING THRUST KICK TAKING USAGI DOWN AGAIN!-
Persephone: USAGI LAYS HER BACK DOWN TO MOVE UNDER AND CATCH RYAN BY HIS LEG!…. TURNING HIM INTO A BOSTON CRAB!!!!!! USAGI STRIKES BACK!
Deadprez: USAGI ISN’T GOING TO STOP WHILE HER PARTNER IS OUT! SHE FACES A 2V1 DISADVANTAGE, BUT STILL FIGHTS TO WIN THE MATCH FOR HER TEAM. RYAN GROANS IN PAIN AND TRIES TO REACH THE BOTTOM ROPE. USAGI APPLIES INTENSE PRESSURE IN A SUBMISSION HOLD, TRYING TO MAKE RYAN TAP OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: NO RYAN’S HAND!…. HE RAISES IT UP, HE IS NOT TAPPING OUT YET! TELLING US THAT HE’S NOT GOING ANYWHERE SOON!
Deadprez: Usagi releases Ryan’s leg…. LEANS DOWN AND CHANGES IT INTO A CROSSFACE! A CROSSFACE SUBMISSION HOLD ON RYAN THIS TIME! SHE CAN’T DO IT WITH THAT WAY, SO SHE GOES WITH A DIFFERENT WAY! RYAN IS IN A BIGGER TROUBLE THIS TIME! RYAN….
Gavin Kirkland: HE TAPS OU- NO BUT CLOSE! RYAN’S HAND ALMOST SLAPS THE FLOOR, BUT HE STOPS IT AND TRIES TO MAKE IT TO THE BOTTOM ROPE INSTEAD! THIS IS AN INTENSE BATTLE FOR THE TEAM’S VICTORY HERE! USAGI IS ALL BY HERSELF, BUT SHE IS NOT GIVING UP AT ALL!
Persephone: USAGI MAKES IT MUCH MORE PAINFUL! RYAN STARTS GETTING TIRED THERE! THIS IS A GOOD CHANCE FOR USAGI TO PICK UP A WIN FOR HER TEAM!
Deadprez: ….. OH, RYAN TAP- WOAH!!
( Xander slides back in and catches Ryan’s hand, stopping him from tapping out. )
Gavin Kirkland: XANDER MAKES IT JUST IN TIME! HE SAVES HIS PARTNER FROM GETTING TORTURED BY USAGI! HE STOPS HIS TEAM FROM LOSING IN TIME! GREAT TEAMWORK SKILL BY XANDER RIGHT THERE!/
Persephone: USAGI DOESN’T SEEM TO CARE THOUGH! SHE CONTINUES TO LOCK RYAN DOWN WITH A CROSSFACE….
Gavin Kirkland: XANDER SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING AND KNOCKS HER AWAY FROM RYAN WITH A SUPERKICK! XANDER PICKS USAGI UP…. ‘INTO OBLIVION” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MASSIVE BURNING HAMMER CONNECTS ON USAGI! USAGI IS OUT! XANDER THROWS RYAN OVER USAGI’S BODY, AND THE REFEREE STARTS TO COUNT! THIS COULD BE IT FOR XANDER’S TEAM!

Deadprez: USAGI KICKS OUT! WHAT IN THE WORLD DID I JUST WITNESS????? USAGI IS STILL ALIVE! SHE IS STILL HERE FOR THE MATCH! XANDER CANNOT BELIEVE IT!
Gavin Kirkland: Xander quickly goes up to the apron, yelling at Ryan to make a tag there. Seems like Xander is going to end this all by himself! He is very tired of The Ice Aces!
Xander Payne (Off-Mic): *yelling at Ryan* TAG ME! I’M GOING TO END THIS STUPID WOMAN BY MYSELF!
( TAG! )
Gavin Kirkland: Ryan barely crawls down to Xander, but he still makes a tag! Xander goes through the ropes to enter the ring. Xander hurriedly pulls Usagi back to her feet….
Gavin Kirkland: LIFTING HER UP FOR ‘XANDER DRIVER’ !!!! CRUCIFIX PILEDRIVER ON USAGI!….
Persephone: USAGI STRUGGLES HER WAY OUT AND USES HER LEGS TO PULL HERSELF UP UPON XANDER’S SHOULDERS! WHAT IS SHE GOING TO DO THERE?????….
Deadprez: WOAH! USAGI JUMPS OFF AND TAKES XANDER DOWN WHILE SHE’S IN THE AIR, CONNECTING HIM WITH A DDT! A DDT CAUSED XANDER TO SPIKE INTO THE MAT! Xander is still on both knees, so does Usagi…..
Deadprez: RUNNING DOWN FOR A CARTWHEEL SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!!!!!!!!!! ‘MOOD SWINGS’ TAKING XANDER OUT COMPLETELY! USAGI GOT IT! THIS IS HER MOMENT! USAGI GOES FOR A COVER!

Gavin Kirkland: NO IT’S NOT THREE! XANDER KICKS OUT IN TIME! THE MATCH IS STILL ON! XANDER JUST KICKED OUT!…. INTO A TRIANGLE CHOKE BY USAGI! XANDER GETS LOCKED UP BY USAGI! XANDER IS NOT IN THE RIGHT SPOT AT ALL!
Deadprez: USAGI PULLS ALL THE STOPS, PUSHING HERSELF TO THE LIMIT IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE HALL OF FAMER PASS OUT. SHE PUTS A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE MOVE, AND XANDER STRUGGLES TO ESCAPE, BUT THERE IS NOWHERE TO RUN OR HIDE AS USAGI MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR XANDER!
Gavin Kirkland: Usagi… DRIVES HER ELBOW ON REPEAT RIGHT ONTO TOP OF XANDER’S HEAD WHILE LOCKING HIM IN A TRIANGLE CHOKE! USAGI DOES EVERYTHING TO PUT THE FORMER WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION TO SLEEP! USAGI KEEPS HAMMERING XANDER’S HEAD, AND IT DOESN’T SEEM TO STOP ANYTIME SOO-
Deadprez: WHISPER IN THE WIND ON USAGI OUT OF NOWHERE! RYAN TAKES DOWN USAGI WITH WHISPER IN THE WIND! SAVING XANDER THIS TIME! Ryan starts getting back to his feet….
Persephone: ‘LEAPS’ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A DIVING MOONSAULT ON RYAN’S BACK!! AYU IS BACK NOW????? WHERE IS SHE COME FROM???????????? AYU CAME OUT OF THE SHADOW AND JUST TOOK OUT RYAN WITH ONE OF HER FINISHERS!
Gavin Kirkland: AYU IS BACK WITH FIRE BURNING IN HER SOUL! AYU HEADS DOWN TO THE CORNER, WAITING FOR XANDER TO TURN AROUND….. ‘RYO NO IKARI’ TO XANDER!!!!!!!! A SUPERKICK….
Gavin Kirkland: INTO ‘ACE-PLEX’ BY USAGI!!!!!!!!!!! HIGH-ANGLE THROWING GERMAN SUPLEX TAKING XANDER OUT! THIS SHOULD BE IT! XANDER LANDS RIGHT ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK AND USAGI HANGS IT ON FOR A COVER! A WIN FOR THE ICE ACES!

Gavin Kirkland: WHAT????? XANDER POWERS OUT! HE’S STILL UNABLE TO BE PUT DOWN! ICE ACES STILL HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER TO OVERTHROW THEIR OPPONENTS!
Deadprez: Both women don’t have time for a reaction and start picking up Xander, placing him in the middle of the ring…. ‘FATALITY’ BY USAGI FROM THE FRONT AND ‘ETHEREAL BLADE’ BY AYU FROM BEHIND AT XANDER AT THE SAME TIME! ‘ETHEREALITY’ IS WHAT THEY CALLED IT!
Persephone: Wait why, Ayu… OH WAIT, RYAN HOLDS AYU’S RIGHT FOOT, STOPPING HER FROM MOVING! RYAN MAY BE DOWN, BUT HE ISN’T HOLDING THIS COMPETITION BACK!
Gavin Kirkland: Usagi is already running in at full speed…. ‘LAST SEDATION’ !!!!!!!!!! POP-UP POWERBOMB TAKING USAGI DOWN INSTEAD! AYU KICKS RYAN AWAY AND GETS HER FOCUS BACK ON THE MATCH! XANDER RUNS IN AND CLOTHESLINES HER OVER THE ROPES TO THE OUTSIDE!
Deadprez: I THINK THEY HAVE A CHANCE HERE! XANDER PICKS USAGI UP, PUTTING HER IN AN ELECTRIC CHAIR POSITION!… RYAN MOVES ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TOP!….
Gavin Kirkland: RYAN LEAPS OFF AND CONNECTS A CLOTHESLINE! DOOMSDAY DEVICE TURNS USAGI INSIDE OUT! USAGI FALLS OFF XANDER’S SHOULDERS DOWN TO THE MAT! THE CROWD IS EXCITED TO SEE THIS ALREADY! XANDER DROPS DOWN INTO A COVER! THIS SHOULD BE IT!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: IT’S TOO LATE! XANDER AND RYAN PICK UP A WIN!
( DING DING DING! )
Gina Romano: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS!… THE TEAM OF XANDER PAYNE AND RYAN JOSEPH WILSON!
Deadprez: Woah…. I’m quite speechless because I cannot believe how AMAZING this match is! This is one of the best tag team matches I’ve ever seen in my entire life, and I just love every second of it! Great, great match! Right, Gavin?…. Oh.
Gavin Kirkland: https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-sad-sad-face-alone-waiting-gif-21396787
Gavin Kirkland: Oh sorry about that. I mean, I feel a little bad that the Ice Aces didn’t win this match but hey! I still love the fact that Ryan and Xander won this bout! It’s good to see them working together well and gaining victory in this match!
( ‘It Follows’ by Cane Hill hits as Xander and Ryan exit the ring and celebrate with their Canadian fans. The camera captures their joy as well as Ayu helping Usagi who is getting back to her feet, holding her neck in pain, and watching Xander and Ryan celebrating. Disappointed, Usagi turns away from Xander and Ryan and heads to the back, with Ayu following. The final shot shows Xander and Ryan jumping onto the apron together and continuing the celebration of their victory over the Ice Aces before the scene fades into a commercial break. )
( A commercial is shown for the upcoming Demon Slayers Season 3 featuring Xander Payne and Roberto De La Rosa talking about how GREAT this anime is going to be! Very exciting! )
(Backstage, Nick Hart and Shane Gates can be seen sitting next to each other. After so much warming up and preparation, this was it: the biggest match of their career as a team was happening. Nick takes a deep breath, the gravity of the moment weighing heavily upon him. Shane, however, is harder to read. There’s a look of quiet determination, but after the past few weeks, things have gotten strained between him and his partner. Whenever they take one step forward, they’ve taken two steps back. Many assumed that things would’ve come to a head already with the two men who are complete opposites of each other. There was so much chatter, so much doubt, but tonight at King of Elite, Shane and Nick are still together.)
Nick Hart: So… this match is finally happening.
(Both anxious and excited, Nick gives Shane a smile as he fiddles with his fingers.)
Nick Hart: I feel good about our chances. I think we have a real shot at winning this.
(His optimism is a stark contrast to the dead, plain look Shane offers to him.)
Shane Gates: Mhm.
(Nonchalant. Uncaring. Unmoving. Nick’s smile starts to fade. Still, he does his best to keep his spirits up. He laughs, giving Shane a pat on the shoulder.)
Nick Hart: Well, don’t let the excitement kill you, pal.
(However, the joke falls flat with Shane. Slowly, he turns his head away, shifting his gaze to the floor. His hands ball into fists. An uncomfortable silence hangs within the air. Nick sighs. It was as he feared. He gets up and makes his way over to stand in front of his aloof partner. A more serious tone colors his voice as he speaks.)
Nick Hart: Shane, I know that you’re still upset about everything, and I get that. However, I made a promise to you, didn’t I? That things were going to change and I’d hold my end of the weight for this team. It isn’t lost on me how important this match is. We worked so hard to get to this point. We may not have been able to see eye to eye on things, but right now, we need to more than ever before.
(Shane looks back up at him. A drawn-out exhale stems from his nose. He crosses his arms to his chest. An intense gaze meets up with Nick.)
Shane Gates: I just don’t want everything to come crashing down on me, especially since it feels like I’m the one who’s having to take care of your slack. I helped you before, and you didn’t take it. The both of us could’ve been heading into this match with momentum on our side, but that isn’t the case. Your promises have become dead weight to me, Nick. I need guarantees.
Nick Hart: And you WILL get those guarantees, Shane. I’m serious. I’m not trying to talk out of my ass here. I mean everything I’m saying to you right now.
Shane Gates: Yeah? Well, its starting to sound like the same song and dance with you.
(Shane stands up suddenly, making Nick take a few steps back.)
Shane Gates: I need you to meet me halfway, Nick. No more screwing up. No more forgoing my help. We need to be an actual team and work together. We need to win those tag titles by any means necessary.
(Nick sighs.)
Nick Hart: And we will. You don’t have to worry about a thing. You have my word.
Shane Gates: Will your word have actual meaning?
Nick Hart: Yes. It will.
(Silence falls over the two men again. Shane looks at Nick for a moment, processing everything. Then, he nods, extending a hand out.)
Shane Gates: I’ll hold you to it.
(If Nick stared long enough, he could’ve sworn he saw the makings of a smirk on Shane’s face. Nick smiles, giving his partner a solid handshake.)
Nick Hart: I won’t disappoint you. Tonight, we’re winning those tag titles.
(The two men nod and shake hands finally back on the same page. Now at ease, they are ready to discuss strategy and prepare for the big match ahead. The two men can be seen continuing to converse in a more calm demeanor as the camera transitions away to the next match.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS FOR, THE INTERWIREEEEEEEE CHAMPIONSHIPPPPPP!!!!!
( “ A Stranger I Remain “ by Free Dominguez began blasting through the speakers to a wave of boo’s, as none other than the challenger Amir Yusuf began making his way down to the ring through the gorilla position opening, Amir Yusuf noticeably rocking a black and blue colored gear set; with the ends of his Braids following suit to both of those colors; only to be hinted yet again by the same shaded colors as war paint under the eyes of Yusuf, showcasing he was very well ready to go to war for himself. )
( As Yusuf finished his walk down the apron, he quickly slid into the ring;wasting little time as he was extremely amped up for the match ahead, knowing what lingered at the end if he was to win; as Amir took a moment in front of the hard-cam, staring deeply with intent into it, his mission set and his focus directly on dethroning THE champion tonight. )
Stephie Love: Introducing first… weighing in at 182 pounds…. Resigning in Chicago, Illinois…. He is, “THE IRREPLACEABLE…’ AMMIIRRRRRRR YUUSUUFFFFFFFFF!!!!!
Stew-O: And look, the road to get here for Amir wasn’t the greatest, he was at a point of stopping and starting, having a spark and then losing it; not TRULY being as consistent as he would hope to be, but in the end? He is here now and he is primed up for a HUGE championship shot, he’s dotted his i’s and crossed his t’s, Amir Yusuf has tapped into a new side of himself SPECIFICALLY for this night, and I am here to see what he can do!
Jake Mercer: We ALL are. Amri Yusuf is a talent with his own specific niche that you simply have to watch him and what he can do, he’s not had the greatest of night’s every night, but when he shines he shines brighter than most – and tonight? He looks like he can shine pretty darn bright. Joso is a dangerous, dangerous competitor but to not discredit Amir; Yusuf is JUST as much of a threat as anyone else!
Flannery McCoy: Agreed, anyone who doubts Amir Yusuf off a first glance basis is someone who just simply hasn’t seem his work before in the ring, he grinds hard for everything he gets and it shows – tonight isn’t just a title shot, it’s THE title shot. He doesn’t want to go again in the future, he doesn’t want to learn from this, he wants to BECOME Interwire Champion; and if his odds weren’t already favored? They sure as hell should be considered now.
( As “ A Stranger I Remain” faded out, “Trophies” by Drake began to play to a mixed reaction mainly cheer’s, but a slight amount of boo’s as none other than Joso, THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION, began making his way out to the ring, his GLORIOUS Interwire Champion shining brightly on his waist as Joso pays homage to Vancouver in a throwback Vancouver Grizzlies jersey with the numbers ‘169’ on the front, and the letters ‘23’ big in the back, in reference to Michael Jordan’s numbers. His ring gear also matches the color scheme. )
( Joso would keep his sights on Amir in the ring as he walked down the ramp, lowering his glasses to start dead in the eyes of his opponent before smirking, Joso walking around the ring before jumping up and sliding onto the apron, grabbing the middle rope as he stared into the hard-camera. )
Joso (off-mic): I. DON’T. MISS.
( Joso spoke out, a serious demeanor falling onto him as he was more than determined to win tonight, before Joso went through the split middle rope and into the ring, jumping around to ease the nerves and stretch his body out; before entering his corner, taking off the title belt for the referee who took it and walked towards the middle of the ring, raising it high in the air, before sliding it to the outside away from the action. )
Stephie Love: And his opponent… Weighing in at 206 pounds… Hailing from the Bronx, New York… HE IS THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION, THE NEW ERA, JOOOOOOOOSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Himso, Joso, Woso, it all fits the same doesn’t it? This man has made it a certainty that when he shoots just as he says – He don’t miss. Championship defense after Championship defense, he does not stop grinding and working to be at his best and tonight isn’t any different; he’s trained hard and worked his butt off, Amir knows this isn’t an easy fight and Joso knows this has to be the fight of his life mentally in order for him to go out and retain.
Jake Mercer: You’re right, Joso needs to take this like he is fighting GAWD himself; harboring that mentality to expect everything and anything and dish out even more to counter-act it; if Joso is coming in for what he thinks is an easy match? Amir Yusuf wins. But we know what to expect from Joso, we know through all 169 days of his reign he takes every challenge for what they are, a challenge. Expects nothing less than a master class from Joso, because he plays for KEEPS.
Stew-O: Amir Yusuf vs Joso, a true battle of witts and will all happening tonight in Vancouver; buckle up ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, WE ARE IN FOR A WILD BATTLE – AND HERE’S THE BELL!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Stew-O: And we are OFFICIALLY underway in this Interwire Championship match-up tonight and when I say I am PUMPED to see how this goes, I mean it! It’s Fire vs Ice Champion vs Challenger, Amir Yusuf vs Joso; right now!
Jake Mercer: And I know Vegas was torn about this match, with how much both these Elitist’s offer, putting money where your mouth is truly comes to be a hard task… It didn’t stop me, but I spent a solid ten minutes thinking about it; and that’s gotta be a record in my books!
Flannery McCoy: Did you really just publicly admit to gambling on the same matches you commentate? :dahell:
Jake Mercer: Well yes, but I didn’t say WHtO I bet on, therefore it isn’t a bad thing and I’m TECHNICALLY not violating my contract! :troll:
Flannery McCoy: I can literally see your DraftKings app open on your phone right now-
Jake Mercer: Let’s focus on the match shall we! As now we see Amir Yusuf and Joso slowly meeting in the center of the ring, both reaching their hands out towards one another during this feeling out process, each of these Elitist trying to feel out one another – OH, AND AMIR LOOKING TO CATCH JOSO OFF GUARD, LOOKING FOR A SWIFT RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP!
Stew-O: BUT JOSO EVADES! Jumping over Amir’s leg as it comes for his ankles, Amir though spinning right back into a standing position – BUT NOW IT’S JOSO WHO LOOKS TO STRIKE, LOOKING TO CATCH AMIR NOW AS HE LIFTS HIS LEG HIGH IN THE AIR, SPINNING IT AROUND TO KNOCK AMIR DOWN WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK….
Flannery McCoy: BUT AMIR NARROWLY DUCKS IT! Amir keeping his awareness at it’s height as he just BARELY evades that kick, but now he needs to regain balance and focus so he can capitalize with Joso now being the one staggered, and now It’s Amir running forward quickly; and Joso just not able to get his balance in time to dodge out of the way – WITH AMIR NOW TAKING HIS MOMENT, LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND HOOKING JOSO’S NECK FOR A HUGE BLOCKBUSTER!
Jake Mercer: Amir getting a little craft here I see! He needs to continue bringing this wild offense and kick Joso off of his game, and folks we might see a new champion tonight!; but of course that all depends if Amir can keep pace with the offense he’s willing to dish out now amidst the later points of this match-up!
Stew-O: We could only hope so for his case. As now Amir quickly get’s back to his fee with succession, turning to see Joso down in the center of the ring; Yusuf having the wheels turning in his head quickly as he wastes little time running over towards the ropes, laying his plan out perfectly – AND AMIR LOOKING TO LEAP OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE, SPRINGBOARDING OFF OF IT TOWARDS JOSO IN THE RING, AS AMIR LOOKS TO LAND A HUGE SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT ONTO THE CORE OF JOSO AND IT CONNECTS –
Flannery McCoy: NO!!!! JOSO GETS THE KNEES UP AND COUNTERS BEAUTIFULLY, AMIR GETTING HIS GUT DRILLED INTO AS HE JUST RECOILS OFF OF JOSO’S KNEES, CLUTCHING AT HIS CORE! Joso pulling off the reversal here yet again as Amir looks to be in some serious pain, and now it’s time to truly capitalize for Joso!
Stew-O: And that is precisely what Joso plans to do as he slowly begins to get to his feet whilst Amir still is seemingly trying to recover though not fast enough! Joso now running the ropes, Amir LEAPING up to his feet just as Joso is about to reach towards him, side stepping out of Joso’s way who continues to gain his momentum; Amir Yusuf waiting right in the middle of the ring – AND JOSO JUST LEAPS OVER HIM!
Jake Mercer: Joso moving like a full locomotive as Amir looks to catch him for the second time, BUT AGAIN JOSO JUST JUMPS OVER HIM! Amir growing angry in these small moments between each evasion, as now Joso looks to connect off the ropes for a third time –
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOODNESS, JOSO SURGED WITH SO MUCH SPEED OFF THE ROPES, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR FOR A FLYING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT – BUT AMIR DUCKS TO THE FLOOR ONCE AGAIN!!! Joso falling alongside him now with both Elitist on the mat… AS THEY KIP-UP AT THE SAME TIME IN SYNC!!!
Stew-O: What a sequence! And the crowd here in Vancouver is FEEDING off this match thus far, with Joso and Amir Yusuf having a staredown amidst the sequence they just completed against each other, and now both Elitists surely know what is in store for the rest of the match! As now these two are going back to square one, circling around the ring to look for a lock-up… And here we see a Collar and Elbow tie-up between these two, the test of strength in full motion between these two as we see Joso and Amir try to get one up on another!
Jake Mercer: Though the Interwire Champion is coming with more grit than Amir for what it seems, quickly beginning to back up Amir to his corner, though Yusuf showing some sort of resilience, not giving up without a fight; but after losing the battle so early, it’s too late to make a comeback, AS JOSO NOW TAKES FULL CONTROL AND SHOVES AMIR INTO HIS CORNER!
Stew-O: Joso outdoign Amir there, though with Amir clutching the ropes it causes the referee to separate the two, with Joso slowly backing off of Amir, hands in the air as Amir seems to be quite relieved about how that turned out in the end – OH, BUT JOSO TOOK AMIR’S FALSE SECURITY AS HIS SCAPEGOAT, AS HE IS QUICK TO LAND A SHARP CHOP ON AMIR’S CHEST!!!
Flannery McCoy: And Amir’s torso is instantly turning red, good lord tht sounded like a GUNSHOT, Joso clearly not feeling the need to hold back as he wastes little time adding onto his offense by sending a kick into the mid section of Amir, forcing Yusuf to just try and cover up before it’s too late! With Joso playing his cards perfectly, as now he just begins STOMPING a hole into the gut of Amir; dragging him down more and more into the bottom of the corner, Amir just soaking in each of those pump-leg shots Joso had to layout!
Jake Mercer: Though with Amir now taking a full seated position in the corner, it seems Joso is ready to excel the next part of his plan,; stopping his onslaught for now as he wastes little time garnering momentum by taking a lap around the ring, gaining speed fast as Amir doesn’t even have the ability to get out of harms way in time, with Joso turning the corner and having Amir dead in his sights – AND JOSO LANDING A HUGE RUNNING SENTON DEAD ON THE SEATED AMIR, FLATTENING HIM OUT AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE, THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION IS ROLLING!
Stew-O: On one hand, what an innovative display of offense from Joso, and one the other? Yikes… :lupe: The migraine is sure to set in for Amir here after that.
Jake Mercer: Well I guess you could say that was an wake-up call! Right, Right?! :bron:
Flannery McCoy & Stew-O: :jr:
Jake Mercer: I’ll ask to get a laugh track in during post, usually I’d appreciate the likeness of my fellow commentators to fill that void theirselves, but CLEARLY I was mistaken. :ufdup:
Stew-O: You do realize this is a live show, right? Meaning there won’t be any post –
Jake Mercer: Can we stick to covering the match at hand? All this time of you two bickering that we haven’t even TALKED about what’s been going on in the ring! Unprofessional. Regardless, following that time it seems that Joso has picked Amir up off the floor in the corner to his feet and has propped him onto the top rope, which can only lead to a HUGE high risk high reward scenario for the Champion, as now it seems that Joso is also trying to scale the ropes alongside where he rested Amir!
Flannery McCoy: OH, but Amir showing some fight by the time Joso has reached the middle rope, Yusuf throwing right hands to stun Joso before he could reach the top – BUT JOSO RESPONDING WITH ONE POWERFUL FOREARM OF HIS OWN AND HAS HALTED THE COMEBACK AMIR TRIED PULLING OFF! And with that, Joso has continued his climb to reach the top, picking Amir up to a full standing position now and this could REALLY go sour here for either Elitist here!
Stew-O: True, but Joso seems to have a handle on the situation for now, not allowing Amir too much of an ability to counter this for his peril – OH, BUT I MIGHT HAVE SPOKE A TAD TOO SOON AS AMIR YUSUF SEEMS TO BE SENDING SOME GUT SHOTS TO JOSO, NOT LETTING HIM FULFILL HIS PLAN SO EASILY!
Jake Mercer: Woah woah woah, and look at Joso’s feet! He’s losing balance in the WORST position possible, and Amir’s wheels surely are turning, AND IS AMIR FACING JOSO TOWARDS THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING?! Yusuf doing whatever it takes to beat the Champion it seems as he grabs ahold of Joso’s head with both hands, reeling his own head back – AND AMIR JUST HEAD BUTTED JOSO TO SEND HIM OFF THE TOP ROPE CRASHING DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!!!
Stew-O: OH MY GOD, AND THE CAMERA-MAN DIDN’T EVEN REALIZE, IS THAT FRANKLIN? JOSO’S HEADING STRAIGHT FOR FRANKLIN FOR A CRASH LANDING!!!
Franklin The Camerman: :dead:
Jake Mercer: GOOD LORD, NOT FRANK; SOMEONE HELP OUT FRANK, HE HAS LUMBAGO HE CAN’T TAKE THAT AMOUNT OF WEIGHT!
Flannery McCoy: Well luckily for Joso all of his weight fell onto Franklin meaning that he is quite alright after that fall, and look at the People’s Champion, Joso helping Franklin up to his feet; a true hero for a man who has dedicated decade’s of his life being an on the road camera man for Eltie Answers Wrestling!
Joso (off-mic): You aight?
Franklin The Cameraman: I-I’m alright, T-Thank you Joso; Luckily the landing was quite alright, but another one of those and I doubt I’d be so lucki-
Jake Mercer: OH MY, AMIR YUSUF COMING OFF THE TOP ROPE LIKE A TORPEDO, LOOKING TO CATCH JOSO OFF GUARD WITH A HUGE CROSSBODY – BUT JOSO SCOOTED OUT OF THE WAY AND PUT FRANKLIN IN HIS PLACE, DARN IT, FRANKLIN NOOOOOO!!!!!
Franklin The Cameraman: :dead:
Stew-O: THAT WASN’T EVEN REALLY NECESSARY WAS IT?
Flannery McCoy: NOT AT ALL, BUT I GUESS iT WAS INSTINCTUAL?!!
Jake Mercer: Or maybe the perfect distraction as even Amir who has gotten to a knee following the impactful crossbody seems pretty taken aback and shocked about what Joso did – AND WITH AMIR SO STUNNED WITH WHAT JUST HAPPENED, DOESN’T EXPECT JOSO TO TAKE A SHOT AT THIS JAW WITH A MASSIVE SUPERKICK!!!!
Flannery McCoy: And yet, neither of the two people who were flung or choose to fling THEMSELVES off the top rope to the outside of the ring were the main person of the question to be SERIOUSLY hurt! Nonetheless, Joso somehow coming out of all that with the advantage as Amir is stunned by the kick to the jaw Joso laid out onto him, with The Interwire Champion now reaching and grabbing Amir up to his feet, Joso hooking around his neck and planting his feet down – AS JOSO WILLS UP THE BODY WEIGHT OF AMIR YUSUF FOR A MASSIVE SUPLEX ONTO THE FLOOR!
Stew-O: And Amir just CRASHING down, luckily not on our now injured camera-man who is in desperate need of medical attention… But the show goes on! With the referee’s count just imminent now to begin!
ONE!
TWO!
Stew-O: And there it goes, with Joso all ears now, knowing he needs to finish up anything he wants to achieve on the outside of the ring before they BOTH get counted out; as Joso now picks up the limp body of Amir, trailing him up to his feet as Joso now seems to be dragging him over towards the steel steps, and from here things get SCARY real quick; more specifically for Amir though, as Joso seems to be propping him up in a seated position against the side of the steel steps :lupe:
Jake Mercer: And with Joso now making distance between himself and the steps, I can see exactly where his mind is at and I DON’T like it if I’m an Amir supporter! Joso now sizing up Amir, getting in a position like he’s about to run a marathon – AND JOSO RUNNING OUT THE GATES, CLOSING THE DISTANCE AND IT LOOKS AS IF JOSO IS ABOUT TO DRIVE HIS KNEE INTO THE BRIDGE OF AMIR’S NOSE, JUST FOR YUSUF TO GET CRUSHED BETWEEN THE BACK OF THE STEEL STEPS –
Flannery McCoy: BUT AMIR BARELY GETS AWAY! With mere INCHES between himself and the knee of Joso, Amir rolls out the way and Joso just DRIVES his knee into the steel, and you can tell that impact was extremely awkward for Joso who was trying to stop his momentum and in doing so could have unbraced his knee for impact, that’s no good. :lupe:
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
Stew-O:And with that comes an opening for Yusuf who acknowledges the count and knows he needs to get Joso back into the ring fast, with the title unable to change hands without him winning by pinfall or submission, as Amir quickly drags the body of Joso up, SLINGING him into the ring quickly; Amir taking his own position on top of the apron, as Joso seems to still have life, getting onto his knees quickly –
Jake Mercer: OH MY – BUT AMIR YUSUF PICKING HIS TIME TO SHINE, WHILST STAYING ON THE APRON AMIR SLINGED HIMSELF UP ONTO THE TOP ROPE, BALANCING FOR A MOMENT, BEFORE SHOOTING DOWN TO THE FLOOR WHERE JOSO LAID ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES TO LAND A HUGE STOMP TO HIS SKULL!!! THAT HAS TO BE IT, JOSO LOOKS OUT!!
Flannery McCoy: WELL WE”RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT, AMIR’S GOING FOR A QUICK COVER!!!!
OOONNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHR—
….
Stew-O: AND JOSO KICKS OUT! The Champion having life as he muscles up a shoulder, and Amir is shocked!
Jake Mercer: I would be too! Imagine a full boot falling ten feet from the sky and CRASHING on the back of your skull, do YOU think you could get up by the count of three? I know I wouldn’t be able too, but that’s just how special Joso comes to be, he does the UNBELIEVABLE!
Flannery McCoy: True, but he isn’t unkillable; and not to bear bad news but Joso took a huge hit there, and Amir can just lick his chops and continue on with the hard hitting offense like that and we might see a new champion here folks… And we look on now as Amir seems to be wanting to get a little more technical in the ring, falling down to his knees as he looms over the body of Joso – Before grabbing him up by his head, and wrapping his arm around the length of Joso’s throat, applying a rear choke onto the Champion!
Stew-O: And Joso very visibly trying to fight it, though whilst disoriented that fight he’s tring to give isn’t working for much! With Amir now keeping that vice like grip locked in tight, this is a hard road to recover for the champion, but he needs to do it now before Amir could steal this away from him completely!
Jake Mercer: And he’s trying Stew, as we see Joso now SLOWLY try to crawl away to the ropes, making some distance close but still at such a slow rate, Amir just letting Joso chug along his dead weight as well, and you could see the light beginning to fade from Joso’s eyes, he needs to get the rope break NOW!
Flannery McCoy: And Joso now, making the distance almost imaginary, cutting the ring down to where he is just FINGERTIPS from the ropes, Joso reaching out, he’s going to be able to grab it, he’s going to break the hold!!!! –
Stew-O: BUT AMIR PULLS HIM BACKWARDS AND FULLY WRAPS AROUND THE BODY OF JOSO! Amir now pulling him into the center of the ring with nowhere to go and wrapping around Joso like a BACKPACK, this doesn’t bode well for Joso, he’s energy drained, he’s hurt, and he could possibly be leaving Vancouver without the Interwire Championship!
Flannery McCoy: And the referee looking with intent towards this match-up, testing to see if Joso is truly out of it, with his eyes glazing over now, the grin on Amir Yusuf’s face says it all, he thinks he’s got it won, he thinks he is mere MOMENTS from being proclaimed Interwire Champion! The referee lifting up Joso’s hand, checking to see if it’ll drop and wrap this match up quickly —
OOOONNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHREEEEEEEEEEEEE—–
Jake Mercer: OH MY, WE BARELY EVEN NOTICED IT HERE, BUT JOSO PUSHED HIS BODY WEIGHT AGAINST AMIR CAUSING HIS SHOULDERS TO HIT THE MAT, AMIR ALMOST JUST LOST IF HE DIDN’T LET GO OF THE HOLD AND GET HIS SHOULDER UP!
Flannery McCoy: And Imagine what would have happened if that is how the match ended there, Amir would have been LIVID but what a brilliant play by Joso who knew if he didn’t do something this match would have been OVER with!
Stew-O: And you can tell that shocked Amir to his core, being mere milli-seconds away from losing, that is a road he simply does not want to and CAN’T go down again in his career, but surely know his instinctive abilities will raise a couple mocks!
Jake Mercer: You outta hope so his sake, though nevertheless Amir still has had this match in a chokehold for a little bit meaning that he is in the driver’s seat to continue putting PAIN onto Joso, and right now I am seeing a WICKED grin on his face which only details bad for Joso here, as Amir backs up away from the body of Joso, lurking inside the depths of the ring corner opposing Joso, who is clearly too stunned to truly understand where he is though nevertheless he chooses to begin getting to his feet, and Yusuf is allowing it!
Flannery McCoy: Yes, it seems like Amir is awaiting him to get fully vertical, and when your opponent is doing that, whilst lurking away like this? It only spells bad things, because you now KNOW he’s waiting for you to get into perfect position so he could hit something big, and now Joso is IN that position as he gets to a vertical base, wobbly on his feet nonetheless as Amir Yusuf is finally ready to take his shot, waiting for Joso to turn towards him – AND AMIR YUSUF FINDING HIS MOMENT TO RUN FORWARD, MEETING RIGHT IN FRONT OF JOSO AS HE… HOLD ON —
Stew-O: WAIT A DARN SECOND, WAS THAT ‘FALSIFIED?!’ THAT’S ANGELO CARTER’S FINISHING MOVE, AMIR YUSUF JUST LANDED A DOUBLE JUMPING KNEE STRIKE ONTO THE JAW OF JOSO – NO, THAT WAS DEFINITELY ANGELO CARTER’S MOVE, THAT WAS SOUGHT OUT OF DISRESPECT FROM AMIR YUSUF TO JOSO!!!!
Jake Mercer: That is COLD, from Amir and I can acknowledge that, but what I can ALSO acknowledge is the fact that AMIR IS GOING FOR THE GOSH DARN COVER, HE WANTS TO WIN OFF OF JOSO’S FORMER FRIEND’S MOVE!!!!
OOONNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THHRRRRRRRRRRRRR—
….
…
..
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
…
Stew-O: NO!!! NO JOSO GOT THE SHOULDER UP, ROLL THE TAPE BACK, JUST AS THE REFEREE SAID THREE THE SHOULDER GOT OFF THE MAT, JOSO STAYS ALIVE, JOSO IS STILL FIGHTING!!!!
Jake Mercer: YOU try to be the one and tell Amir Yusuf that because by the looks of it, HE thinks he ‘s won it all right now – look at him, HE’S CELEBRATING!
Amir Yusuf (off-mic): I DID IT! I WON! RAISE MY HAND, BRING ME MY TITLE – I DID IT, I’M INTERWIRE CHAMPION!!!!
Referee: :francis:
Flannery McCoy: Who’s gonna have to be the one to tell him? The referee? Ohhhhh, this does not bode well for him at ALL….
Amir Yusuf (off-mic): What are you doing? Where is my music? RAISE MY HAND, you counted it, no? You SEEN me pin him, what are we waiting for?!
Referee: With all due respect Amir… Joso got his shoulder up before I could fully count to three, which means you haven’t truly won just yet…
Amir Yusuf (off-mic): Apologies if I didn’t hear that correctly, WHAT did you just say?
Jake Mercer: This isn’t going well for the referee here, with Amir backing him up into the corner now, we might need somebody else to keep officiating this match if Amir gets his hands on him!
Referee: :whoa:
Amir Yusuf (off-mic): I WON this match, I heard you count to three; so this’ll be your final chance – raise my hand now, or we’ll have someone else come do it instead, here, I’ll even give you a countdown to decide! ONE. TWO. THREE–
Flannery McCoy: OH MY, AND FROM BEHIND JOSO MANAGED TO GET TO HIS WITTS DURING THE ALTERCATION, CRAWLING OVER TOWARDS AMIR BEFORE PULLING HIM DOWN BY HIS TRUNKS, LOOKING FOR A ROLL-UP PIN ON AMIR WHO HAS DISTRACTED!!!
OONNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHREEEEEEEEE-
Flannery McCoy: AND AMIR KICKING OUT, TUMBLING BACKWARDS TO A KNEELING POSITION, ENTIRELY IN SHOCK – BUT IT’S JOSO WHO SPRINGS UP, GRABBING BOTH HANDS OF A SHOCKED AMIR YUSUF; BEFORE DRILLING HIM IN THE JAW WITH A KNEE, SLUMPING AMIR, BUT YET HE STAYS ON HIS KNEES!
Jake Mercer: And with Amir in a vulnerable position, Joso takes his moment, Joso is CALLING ENDGAME! As he stands right in front of Amir, pulling Yusuf forward and checking his head under his waist, Joso pulling up the weight of Joso’s torso into the air – WITH JOSO NOW WILLING UP AMIR OFF THE GROUND, AND WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT JOSO WANTS TO SET UP HERE, AND HE HAS BOTH OF AMIR’S ARMS TUCKED IN TO WHERE HE CAN’T FIGHT OUT, HERE COMES THE INEVITABLE, HERE COMES AMIR’S DEMISE, HERE COMES –
Stew-O: ‘HEAVEN’S GATEEEEEEEE!!!!’ THE PACKAGE PILE-DRIVER FROM JOSO LANDING BEAUTIFULLY AND AMIR COULD DO NOTHING BUT FACE FACTS, JOSO FATIGUED BUT WELL AWARE OF WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO, AS HE SLOWLY BEGINS TO CRAWL TO THE COVER, PUTTING AN ARM OVER AMIR’S TORSO AS THE REFEREE BEGINS THE COUNT!!!!
OOONNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THHHHHHREEEE—
….
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: AND AMIR’S DONE, JOSO RETAINS! JOSO RETAINS!!!
…
Stew-O: HOLD ON, THE REF ISN’T CALLING IT?! You can’t tell me… THERE’S NO WAY….
Flannery McCoy: YES WAY, LOOK AT THE REPLAY – AMIR BARELY LIFTS THE SHOULDER UP!
( On the titan-tron a replay begins showing with an on the mat view of the ring, showing if Amir was able to get the shoulder up in time compared to the referee’s count, and as the shot ensued, low and behold…. AMIR YUSUF MANAGED TO BARELY, JUST BARELY LIFT HIS LEFT SHOULDER OFF OF THE MAT TO STAY IN THE FIGHT!!!! )
Jake Mercer: HOW. HOW DID HE JUST DO THAT?! Kicking out of the move Joso uses primarily to put Elitist’s away, AMIR YUSUF IS UNKILLABLE, ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL!!!
Stew-O: And Joso is in an otherworldly amount of peril knowing that he could not put away Amir with the one move he has counted on to win his NUMEROUS matches, Joso has to be thinking WHAT is it going to take to put him down for good!
Flannery McCoy: This is a make or break time, Joso doesn’t need to THINK about what his next move is; he needs to DO it. And right now, he seems fatigued to no return, exhaustion showing it’s workings as Joso takes a breather, wasting costly time but with no other possible outcome due to how tired he’s come to be.
Jake Mercer: We know that Joso’s bag has an unlimited amount of resource; he never seems to run out of options, but right now what WILL it take to retain his championship tonight and keep his legacy growing? We come to find the answers to this question now as Joso finally gets to his feet, banged up, drained, but STILL having a will to fight nonetheless!
Stew-O: And with his will to fight comes his will to END this match entirely, as Joso now looms over the body of Amir who is rising out of death; getting to his feet slowly but surely as we are sure to see this matches finishing moments now, with Joso calling Amir up and Yusuf following suit, I think we might see Joso go for yet ANOTHER Package Piledriver as Amir gets to his feet, Joso looking to send a kick to the gut and place him into position –
Flannery McCoy: BUT AMIR CATCHES JOSO’S BOOT!! AMIR CATCHING HIS BOOT BEFORE JOSO COULD PLACE IT INTO HIS MID SECTION, JOSO SHOCKED THIS MAN COULD EVEN THINK STRAIGHT – BUT JOSO LOOKING TO CATCH AMIR OFF GUARD, ATTEMPTING TO HIT AN ENZIGURI AND BREAK OUT OF THE COUNTER —
Jake Mercer: BUT AGAIN AMIR EVADES FAILURE!! DUCKING THE BOOT BUT KEEPING AHOLD OF JOSO’S LEG AS HE FALLS TO THE FLOOR, AMIR SENDING JOSO’S LEG FULL THROTTLE BACKWARDS TO FLIP JOSO OVER AND FORCE HIM TO FACE YUSUF!
Stew-O: AND NOW AMIR GRABBING UP JOSO, GETTING HIM IN A VERTICAL POSITION, DRAGGING HIM INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING AS AMIR DIPS HIM DOWN, TUCKING HIS HEAD BENEATH HIS ARMS – HOLD ON GUYS, WE KNOW WHAT AMIR’S SETTING UP FOR HERE!
Flannery McCoy: THAT WE DO! AND JOSO DOESN’T SEEM TO HAVE A ROUTE OF ESCAPE! AS AMIR TAKES ONE MORE LOOK AROUND THE ARENA, REALIZING THE MOMENT AT HAND…
Jake Mercer: “WHEN REALITY HITTSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!”
Jake Mercer: THE ROLLING CUTTER FROM AMIR YUSUF LANDING BEAUTIFULLY ONTO JOSO, AND AMIR CAN GO FOR THE COVER; HE NEEDS TO GO FOR THE COVER!!!!
Flannery McCoy: But hold on just one second… AMIR DOESN”T BREAK HIS GRASP ON JOSO’S NECK! AND TO DOUBLE UP ON THAT, AMIR’S PULLING JOSO BACK UP TO HIS FEET!
Stew-O: I think Amir KNOWS Joso is too tough of an opponent to go down with ONE Rolling Cutter – AND RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE AMIR’S TRYING FOR TWO!!!!
Jake Mercer: That he is – AND HE GETS IT!!! JOSO GETTING UP JUST TO BE DROPPED DOWN WITH A SECOND ROLLING CUTTER,,,
Flannery McCoy: BUT AMIR WANTS A TRIO OF CUTTERS, HE’S NOT SETTLING FOR NOTHING!!!!
Amir Yusuf (off-mic): I TOLD YOU – THIS IS MY MOMENT, MY TIME, MY TITLE!
Stew-O: AMIR FIRED UP ONCE MORE, JOSO PROBABLY NOT EVEN AWARE OF WHAT ARENA WE ARE IN RIGHT NOW AS AMIR SETS HIM UP ONE MORE TIME FOR A FINAL “WHEN REALITY HITS”….
Jake Mercer: AND HE GETS IT! ONE FINAL TIME, AMIR GETS THE CUTTER – AND NOW YUSUF STRAIGHT INTO THE COVER, NOT WASTING ANY TIME!!!!
OOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
….

TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…

…
Jake Mercer: OH, DID JOSO KICK OUT?!
….
..
…
Stew-O: NO, NO HE DIDN’T JAKE – AMIR WINS! AMIR WINS!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
( “ A Stranger I Remain “ Begins blasting through the speakers to a HUGE shocked uproar of Vancouver residential fans, as AMIR YUSUF WINS THE INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!
It takes a moment for Amir to roll off the body of a unconscious Joso, but when he does, a huge genuine grin strikes his face as the referee reaches out the side of the ring and retrieves the Interwire Championship; reaching down to grab Amir’s hand as to which Yusuf accepts, as Amir helps get himself lifted up; holding onto his neck with one hand, and receiving the title in the other – HE DID IT!!!! )
Stephie Love: HEEREEEE IS YOUR WINNER – AND NEWWWWWWWWW INTERWIRE CHAMPION…. AMMIIIRRRRRRRRRRR YUUUUUSUUUUUUFFFFFFF!!!!
Flannery McCoy: HE DID IT! AMIR ACTUALLY DID IT! No matter what your opinions are of him, or how you think he carries himself, NOBODY can take away the performance he just put on and the comeback he amounted to WIN the Interwire Championship!
Stew-O: Shell-shocked. EVERYONE NI THIS ARENA IS SHELL-SHOCKED! Amir Yusuf did the unthinkable for many and dethrone the LENGTHY reign of Joso to being his own, to begin anew, to REWRITE his story and become not just any Elitist’s in EAW – BUT A CHAMPION!
Flannery McCoy: And you can tell the emotions are real, this MOMENT is real to Amir; he wanted this opportunity, and he capatilized and now he can just soak in the rewards of his pain and efforts – by NO means was this an easy fight, Joso was a true champion in the aspect that he gave every defense his all; but tonight isn’t the Joso story, it is the AMIR YUSUF SAGA.
Stew-O: And Joso has more than enough time to grow off of this, that young man has one of the brightest futures I’ve seen in this company to date, hat’s off for everything he has done; but the bottles are popping for one man only, the NEW Interwire Champion, AMIR YUSUF!!
( Amir raised the title high in the air, soaking in the moment as Joso was rolled out of the ring and tended to by officials and medical, with staffers helping him up the ramp, leaving Amir to soak his moment up in the ring. )
Jake Mercer: Whatever. :mjpls:
Flannery McCoy: Also – Jake, why do you seem so sad? I know you were a big Joso fan, but Amir won fair and square; you have to respect it!
Jake Mercer: Well AMIR YUSUF just costs me 10,000 dollars! DARN YOU AMIR YUSUF! DARN YOU!!
Stew-O: Wait a second, are you talking about the gambling problem we addressed at the BEGINNING of this match?! This is just blatant at this point. :cmon:
Jake Mercer: … What I meant to say was, go Amir! Congrats on the reign! Woo, goat! :blessed:
Flannery McCoy & Stew-O: :cmon:
( And as commentary ensued, and Amir Yusuf celebrated; the scene would begin to fade to a short commercial to set up the ring for the upcoming match-up ahead. )

Stephie Love: The following contest is a TRIPLE THREAT TAG TEAM MATCH, it is for the EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS, and it is scheduled for…?
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
Stephie Love: ONE FALL!!!!!
(‘Came Out Swinging’ by The Wonder Years would begin to blast throughout the speakers of the arena to a mixed reaction, extremely loud cheers being heard for Nick Hart, but the boos to be heard for the man who stands by his side; Shane Gates. They look towards each other, before nodding, and making their way down to the ring. They climb up onto the apron, before entering into the ring, and backing into their corner.)
Stephie Love: Introducing the challengers; first! At a combined weight of 438 pounds… they are the team of The ‘MAN OF 1000 POUNDS,’ NICK HART!!! AND THE ‘NATURAL BORN KILLER,’ SHANE GATES!!!!!!
Stew-O: Ever since becoming a team at the very beginning of this season alone, Nick Hart and Shane Gates have continued to work together through all of the ups and downs, but it seems as of late that they haven’t really been on the same page, but we are going to have to see if that changes any bit with the Tag Team Championships on the line tonight.
Flannery McCoy: I mean, I get as to why they aren’t on the same page. Gates always looks to take the cheap way out, and Nick hasn’t come to like it very much. They are polar opposites, but let’s see if that will matter here tonight.
Jake Mercer: You know how Nick calls himself The Man Of 1000 pins? Well, tonight I want to test that theory out! I even got myself my own counter board to count the amount of pins that Nick performed in this match!
(Jake Mercer would lean down, before pulling up a literal counter board, that says “Nick Hart Pin Counter” on it, before setting it down next to him on the announcers table.)
Flannery McCoy: Where did you even get that?
Jake Mercer: Idk.
Stew-O: :comeagain:
(‘A&D’ by YNL Jordan would begin to play throughout the arena to a monstrous reaction of boos, as both Solomon Stane and Kirk Redwood would step out onto the stage. They are flanked by Trixie Stane this time, all by themselves as they would begin to make their way down to the ring, stepping onto the apron and entering the ring before backing into their corners.)
Stephie Love: Next! At a combined weight of 476 pounds, they are the team of KIRK REDWOOD!!! SOLOMON STANE!!!! OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES!!!!
Jake Mercer: But remember guys; Solomon Stane and Kirk Redwood both have experience as Tag Team Champions, and most especially experience of winning those titles in a scenario like a triple threat tag team match! They can be a huge threat to the titles once again in this match, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it is used into their favor at all throughout.
Stew-O: Jake actually being right? :wow:! But yes Jake, you’re 100% correct, remember that Off-Brand Amphetamines won the Unified Tag Team Championships in this same exact type of match at the end of the season last season, when they beat The Haircare Kings and The High Rollers at Battle Of Egypt. They are a threat to those titles tonight, and Soul Food Sunday better watch out.
Flannery McCoy: Speaking of…
(Lastly, ‘Morals’ by EST Gee would begin to play throughout the speakers to a mixed reaction once more, as the Unified Tag Team Champions; Visual Prophet and SOSA Henderson, with Dr. Angelo D’Angelo by their side, makes it onto the stage. They begin to make their way down to the ring, climbing up onto the apron before entering into the ring as they back into their corner.)
Stephie Love: AND FINALLY! At a combined weight of 456 pounds, they are the CURRENT; reigning and defending EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!! They are the team of THE VISUAL PROPHET!!!!! SOSA HENDERSON!!!! SOUL FOOD SUNDAY!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Ever since Soul Food Sunday best The Prescription to become the Unified Tag Team Championships at Road To Redemption just last month, they have been on nothing more than an absolute tear. Of course they got a challenge tonight, against two teams who shouldn’t be underestimated, but we know what Soul Food Sunday is all about; when they are hungry they will do whatever it takes to win.
Stew-O: At the end of the night, the only thing that will mather is the closing bell to this match, and we will see who walks out of King Of Elite as the Unified Tag Team Champions, and we will find out… RIGHT NOW!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: AND THIS TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS MATCH IS UNDERWAY! It looks like we are going to be starting this match off with SOSA Henderson, Kirk Redwood, and Nick Hart as all three men begin to circle around. This match has been brewing for weeks upon end, and now we’re finally going to see the finale of weeks of build up, with Soul Food Sunday defending the Championships in their first defense of the titles, against two other teams!
Flannery McCoy: AND KIRK GOES RIGHT AFTER NICK HART WITH A KICK RIGHT TO THE GUT! Kirk is going at Nick, and now SOSA is going to get himself involved, pulling Kirk off, before catching him with a right hand! This stumbles Kirk back, as Henderson is able to overwhelm him into the corner, catching him with those lethal strikes and kicks, before using the ropes to catch Kirk with an enziguri! Kirk goes down to the mat early on, as Henderson is going to pull him away from the ropes, and he is going to go for the early cover to put an end to this match and retain the titles already!
Jake Mercer: BUT NICK GRABS SOSA BY THE HEAD BEFORE THROWING HIM TO THE SIDE, AND HE LOOKS TO STEAL THE PIN FOR HIMSELF!!!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: But Kirk Redwood is able to kickout right away, and then SOSA Henderson comes back around and strikes Nick right into the back of the head! That knocks Nick dizzy, as SOSA picks him to his feet, before connecting with an uppercut! Nick goes stumbling into the ropes, as he tries to rebound off of them to go back at Henderson, but he is able to catch Nick with a pump kick, and that sends Nick down to the mat, and he rolls under the ropes and onto the apron! Henderson goes to grab Nick to pull him up, but Kirk strikes him from behind!
Flannery McCoy: He pulls SOSA back to the center of the ring by the hair, as he tries to get out of his grasp, but Kirk with a huge headbutt knocking SOSA silly! He falls to a knee, as Kirk runs the ropes, and runs straight for Henderson, but Henderson pops up before leaping into the air, and he grabs Kirk by the head in the process, shifting around as both men go down to the mat, and Henderson is able to lock in a side headlock as they fall! Kirk is able to roll over immediately on instinct, slipping out of it as he drives his knee right down into SOSA’s gut!
Jake Mercer: SOSA might be at a loss of breath from that knee, as Kirk quickly gets back to his feet, before jumping into the air and dropping his knee right back down into SOSA’s midsection once again! Kirk rolls through it, getting back to his feet as he runs the ropes, before now dropping his elbow down into his chest! Kirk has found the opening that he was looking for, as he grabs SOSA by the wrist, before dragging him over to his corner, and he extends his hand out, Solomon Stane making the first tag of the match, as the Off-Brand Amphetamines are staying in control!
(TAG!)
Stew-O: Solomon quickly enters into the ring as Kirk drags SOSA up into a seated position in the corner, and now Solomon and Kirk are stomping a mudhole! The referee has to force Kirk out of the ring, as he obliges, but Solomon doesn’t stop, continuing the onslaught, and SOSA looks lifeless right now! He picks him back up to his feet, grabbing him by the wrist and locking it, before Irish whipping him into the ropes… and Solomon catches SOSA with a hip toss! And Solomon is going to take advantage of this, running off of the ropes with SOSA as his target-
Flannery McCoy: NICK HART! HE CATCHES SOLOMON BY HIS FEET, TRIPPING HIM UP AS SOLOMON FALLS TO THE MAT, BEFORE PULLING HIM OUT OF THE RING! Nick quickly scrambles back inside of the ring, and he scrambles into the cover on SOSA! IS NICK GOING TO SUCCESSFULLY CAPITALIZE?
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Solomon runs back in and breaks up the pin with a huge low dropkick right to the side of Nick’s head! Solomon grabs a hold of Nick, AND A HUGE SHORT ARMED LARIAT! NICK FLIPS INSIDE OUT, AS SOLOMON GOES FOR A COVER ON NICK!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Nick pushes Solomon off and gets the shoulder up! Solomon gets up to a seated position… AND HE DOESN’T CATCH IT, BUT SOSA HENDERSON COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AND AIMING TO KICK SOLOMON’S HEAD OFF, CATCHING HIM WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! Henderson quickly picks Solomon back up to his feet, before grabbing him from behind, pushing him into the ropes… AND HE USES THAT AS LEVERAGE TO GET HIS KNEES UP, JUMPING ONTO THE BACK OF SOLOMON BEFORE SENDING SOLOMON DOWN AND STABBING HIS KNEES INTO HIS BACK! BACKSTABBER BY HENDERSON! SOSA HENDERSON IS BACK IN THIS!
Flannery McCoy: And he quickly gets back up to his feet, but Nick Hart is able to meet him up, before catching Henderson with a big boot to the face, as that forces Henderson into the ropes, WHERE HE HANGS OFF THEM, REBOUNDING AND CATCHING NICK WITH A ROLLING LARIAT! Nick is able to stay on his feet, as this time it’s Nick who rebounds into the ropes, and he catches Henderson with a chop right across the chest! And then a right hand! Nick is trying to fight back, as he grabs Henderson and he looks to drop him with a huge DDT!!
Jake Mercer: But Henderson spins out of it, before leaping into the air and catching Nick with an enziguri! BUT NICK DUCKS IT AND HE CRASHES AND BURNS! SOSA holds onto his knee, that was a weird landing for him as he tries to crawl away, but Nick quickly rushes back towards him, dropping his knee right onto the back of Henderson’s kneecap! Nick quickly pulls Henderson back up by the hair, before pushing him aback, and NICK GOES FOR THE SPEAR, BUT SOSA SIDE STEPS IT, CATCHING NICK’S ARM IN THE PROCESS AND PULLING HIM OVER WITH AN ARMDRAG!
Stew-O: Both men quickly get back up to their feet, as they aim towards each other, SOSA running towards Nick with a limp, and Nick running towards SOSA… and Nick goes for a clothesline, but SOSA ducks under it, before hopping over to his corner, and leaping into the air!! SOSA TAGS IN VISUAL PROPHET!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: MEANWHILE NICK HART STUMBLES OVER INTO HIS CORNER, AND SHANE GATES TAKES THE INITIATIVE, TAGGING HIMSELF IN AS HE PUSHES NICK TO THE APRON!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: Both Gates and Prophet get into the ring, AND THEY IMMEDIATELY RUN STRAIGHT FOR EACH OTHER, PROPHET CATCHING GATES WITH A FOREARM! That sends Gates down, but he quickly gets back up, and Prophet goes for another one, but this time Gates is able to think fast, dropping Prophet down with a forearm of his own! Prophet quickly gets back up this time around, but Gates catches him with another forearm, but this time Prophet is able to stay on his feet, and he responds with another one of his own! AND NOW THEY ARE GOING AT IT, FOREARM AFTER FOREARM!
Stew-O: BUT SOLOMON STANE INTERCEPTS IT, AND HE HITS BOTH ELITISTS WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE! Solomon quickly picks Shane Gates back up to his feet, and he knees him right in the face, before throwing him back down into the mat, Gates whiplashing against the mat! Solomon kicks Gates away, as he focuses his attention back in on The Visual Prophet, grabbing him as he picks him up, but Prophet pushes him away, before connecting with an uppercut! This stumbles Solomon, but he quickly shakes the cobwebs away, before stepping back in, catching Prophet with a huge right hand that sends him into the corner.
Flannery McCoy: Solomon is going to look to take advantage of this, as he runs to the opposite corner, BEFORE RUNNING BACK AT THE VISUAL PROPHET… BUT PROPHET EXPLODES OUT OF THE CORNER AND HE FLIPS SOLOMON INSIDE OUT WITH A CLOTHESLINE! Solomon goes down, and it looks like he is immediately going to roll to the outside of the ring, but Prophet follows him to the outside! He grabs Solomon by the hair, before swinging him right into the apron! Visual Prophet is on fire right now, and Solomon is on the receiving end of all of it now!
Jake Mercer: Prophet picks Solomon back up to his feet, as Solomon is trying to fight out of his grasp, but it’s no use as Prophet sends him flying right into the steel steps, and Solomon crashes hard! But Prophet isn’t even close to being done, picking him back up once again, and he drives him right into the barricade! Visual Prophet is on an absolute roll, while Dr. Angelo D’Angelo is to the side yelling and cheering the Prophet on as he continues to destroy Solomon and lay waste to him! Prophet turns his attention back towards the ring, looking to get in…
Stew-O: SHANE GATES IS UP TO HIS FEET, AND HE SLIDES UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE, DROPPING TO THE RINGSIDE AREA BEFORE CATCHING PROPHET WITH A CLOTHESLINE! In an instant Gates was able to take Prophet back down, as he grabs him, and throws him into the ring, before following suit. Prophet is trying to get back up to his feet, but he is cut off by Gates who catches him with a swinging neck breaker, and he goes right back down to the mat!
Flannery McCoy: Shane Gates is taking this match over right now, as he quickly picks Visual Prophet back up to his feet, before pushing him into the ropes, forcing Prophet to rebound, and Gates catches him with a huge side slam! Shane Gates hooks the leg, and he goes into the cover for him and Nick to become the new Unified Tag Team Champions! This could be huge!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: SOSA HENDERSON JUMPS IN AND HE BREAKS UP THE PINFALL! SOSA keeps the match alive for Soul Food Sunday, keeping the titles in his grasp for a little longer, and look! Nick Hart dashes into the ring and he runs towards SOSA, but SOSA drops him with a thrust kick! BUT SOLOMON AND KIRK NOW RUN INTO THE RING, AND NOW EVERYONE IS GOING AT IT! THE REFEREE HAS LAST ALL CONTROL OF THIS MATCH, AS EVERYONE HAS GOTTEN BACK UP TO THEIR FEET, AND NOW THEY ARE ALL BEATING THE EVER LIVING HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER!
Stew-O: This is utter chaos; I can’t even see right now, and it happened so quickly too, in a near instant the whole perception of this match has changed! Nick Hart is able to get Solomon Stane by the hair, as he throws him to the outside of the ring, but right away SOSA clotheslines him right over the top rope and sends him crashing down to the ring! Prophet is dealing with Kirk and Gates, but it’s too much for them as it seems like they are going to begin to overwhelm him, but SOSA comes around, grabbing Gates before throwing him to the outside, and that gives Prophet the opportunity to throw Kirk out as well! The ring has been cleared and it’s all Soul Food Sunday!
(SOSA Henderson and Visual Prophet would look towards each other, before looking to the outside of the ring where they notice that all the Elitists are slowly starting to get back up to their feet. They look back at each other, before nodding.)
Flannery McCoy: EVERYONE WHO GOT THROWN OUT TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING ARE GETTING BACK UP TO THEIR FEET, BUT LOOK! PROPHET GRABS A HOLD OF SOSA, AND HE’S BENCH PRESSING HIM! PROPHET IS BENCH PRESSING HENDERSON, AS HE BEGINS TO WALK OVER TOWARDS THE ROPES… AND HE THROWS SOSA OVER, AND SOSA CRASHES DOWN ONTO THE FIELD, TAKING EVERYONE OUT IN THE PROCESS!!! PROPHET JUST SENT HIS OWN PARTNER CRASHING ONTO EVERYONE ELSE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING, AND THE RISK WAS DEFINITELY WORTH THE REWARD RIGHT THERE!
(SOSA quickly gets back up to his feet, hyping up the crowd in the process as he would then grab a hold of Shane Gates, throwing him into the ring.)
Jake Mercer: SOSA Henderson just threw Shane Gates back into the ring, and now he climbs back up onto the apron, and he extends his hand out – and Prophet makes the tag!
(TAG!)
Stew-O: AND SOSA HENDERSON CLIMBS UP TO THE TOP ROPE, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR!!! ‘SOSA BOMB’ RIGHT DOWN ONTO THE MIDSECTION OF SHANE GATES, THE SWANTON BOMB CONNECTS AND YOU CAN SEE JUST HOW MUCH THAT HURT BOTH GATES AND SOSA! That move had some very high impact to it and that is clear as day, as SOSA is favoring his back right now, but nonetheless he quickly scrambles back over towards Shane Gates, as he hooks the leg! Soul Food Sunday to retain!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTT-
Flannery McCoy: SOLOMON STANE AND KIRK REDWOOD JUST PULLED SOSA OFF OF THE PIN, AND DRAGGED HIM OUT TO THE RINGSIDE AREA, BEFORE WHIPLASHING HIS HEAD AGAINST THE BARRICADE! SOSA just got knocked out cold, and now Kirk runs towards Prophet as he drops down to the ringside floor, and Kirk lays Prophet out with a pump kick! Solomon quickly throws SOSA back into the ring as he follows suit, and SOSA gets up, only to be met with a huge discus lariat, flipping SOSA Henderson inside out! Solomon then goes over to Shane Gates as he sees him getting to his feet, before sprinting towards him-
Jake Mercer: Gates side steps it, before catching Solomon with a huge knife edge chop! This sends Solomon back, as Gates then runs at him and connects with a huge forearm smash sending him back down, Solomon gets up… and another forearm smash! Gates quickly dashes over to his corner, and he tags Nick Hart back into the match as Solomon is getting up!
(TAG!)
Stew-O: Nick Hart quickly enters into the ring, as he runs at Solomon, Solomon running towards Nick as well to cut him off, but Nick is able to sidestep him before going behind… AND NICK PULLS SOLOMON INTO A SCHOOLBOY PIN!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT SOLOMON KICKS OUT! Nick quickly gets back up to his feet, as well as Solomon, as Nick quickly swings at him, but Solomon is able to duck it before turning him around, and pushing him into the ropes… BUT SOLOMON DOESN’T REALIZE THAT HE PUSHED NICK INTO AN UNEXPECTING SOSA HENDERSON, AND NICK CATCHES SOSA INTO A CRADLE PIN!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: SOLOMON GRABS NICK BY THE THROAT, AND HE FORCEFULLY PULLS NICK OUT OF THE PIN, BEFORE LIFTING HIM INTO THE AIR TO GO FOR A CHOKESLAM… BUT NICK SLIPS THROUGH, FLIPPING OVER SOLOMON AND HE PULLS HIM DOWN AND OVER INTO A SUNSET FLIP PIN ATTEMPT!!!
Stew-O: BUT SOSA BREAKS UP THE PIN WITH A BICYCLE KICK! Nick is clearly dazed from that, as he quickly picks Nick back up to his feet, AND HE SLAPS HIM RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE! That just knocked Nick quite possibly out cold from one slap, as Nick falls against the ropes, and SOSA focuses his attention back in on Solomon… SOLOMON CATCHES HENDERSON WITH A CHOP BLOCK! SOSA flips over Solomon, as he favors his knee once more, and Solomon pushes SOSA away, before grabbing Nick, and dragging him to his corner of the ring, and Solomon might be looking to finish it off here!
Flannery McCoy: You can tell that Nick Hart is trying his hardest to fight out of Solomon’s grasp, but look, SOSA is back in this, AND HE FORCEFULLY KICKS NICK OUT OF SOLOMON’S HANDS, SENDING NICK TO THE OUTSIDE IN THE PROGRESS, BUT LOOK, KIRK TAGS HIMSELF IN, AND SOLOMON QUICKLY GRABS A HOLD OF SOSA!
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: SOLOMON STANE THROWS SOSA UP INTO THE AIR WITH AN X-PLEX, AND HE DROPS HIM RIGHT DOWN ONTO KIRK’S KNEES WITH THE BACKSTABBER! THEY CALL THAT THE ‘END OF THE RAINBOW,’ AND NOW KIRK REDWOOD HOOKS THE LEG OF SOSA, AND HE HOOKS IT DEEP! OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES ARE GOING TO BECOME TWO TIME TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS RIGHT HERE! THEY ARE GOING TO STEAL IT!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTHHHHHRRRRREEE-
Stew-O: VISUAL PROPHET RUNS IN AND HE BREAKS UP THE PINFALL! OBA do not look any sorts of happy right now, but look; Shane Gates rushes into the ring, and he catches Prophet with a huge big boot, sending Prophet into the ropes, BUT SOLOMON RUNS BACK INTO THE RING AND HE CATCHES GATES WITH A LARIAT TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, WHILE PROPHET REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES, AND HE KNOCKS BOTH DOWN WITH CLOTHESLINES! Prophet immediately pushes Solomon down to the outside of the ring, as he quickly grabs a hold of Gates, pulling him back up to his feet, as Gates is trying to fight away, but it might just be too late!!!
Flannery McCoy: THE VISUAL PROPHET WITH THE LITERAL KISS TO THE HEAD OF SHANE GATES, BEFORE HE PULLS BACK, AND HE CONNECTS WITH THE BULLHAMMER! KISS TO THE HEAD RIGHT TO GATES, AS GATES ROLLS TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING, BUT NICK HART IS BACK, INSERTING HIMSELF BACK INTO THE MATCH AS HE QUICKLY PUSHES PROPHET TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING! Kirk Redwood is getting back up, but Nick runs right at Kirk, before catching him with a huge european uppercut! He throws Kirk away to the center of the ring, before grabbing SOSA, and Nick lifts SOSA up onto the top rope, before joining him! Kirk is left in the middle of the ring, AND NICK HART IS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING HUGE…
Jake Mercer: NICK HART LIFTS SOSA HENDERSON HIGH UP INTO THE AIR, BEFORE FALLING BACKWARDS, CONNECTING WITH A HUGE SUPERPLEX – AND THEY LAND RIGHT ONTO KIRK REDWOOD IN THE PROCESS! EVERYONE IS DOWN AND OUT ONCE AGAIN, AS NICK GETS HIS ARM OVER THE BODY OF KIRK, AND WE MIGHT BE SEEING NEW CHAMPIONS RIGHT HERE!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTHHHHHRR-
Stew-O: SOSA HENDERSON BREAKS IT UP-
Flannery McCoy: NICK HART CATCHES SOSA’S ARMS, AND HE ROLLS THROUGH, BEFORE LOCKING IN THE HOVERBOARD LOCK! THE KIMURA LOCK IS IN DEEP, AND SOSA HAS NOWHERE ELSE TO GO RIGHT NOW – HE IS STUCK IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! SOSA is trying his hardest to escape the submission, but Nick continues to wrench it in tighter and tighter! The pressure may become too much for Henderson, and he may have to tap, or even pass out, and we will see new Unified Tag Team Champions right here tonight! Nick Hart may have this match going right where he wants it to!…
(TAG!)
Jake Mercer: Nick Hart continues to wrench it tighter and tighter! SOSA Henderson has nowhere to go! NICK PULLS BACK ON THE HOVERBOARD LOCK A LITTLE MORE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE SOSA IS GOING TO TAP—
Stew-O: SOLOMON STANE RUNS IN AND BREAKS IT UP! KIRK REDWOOD TAGGED IN SOLOMON STANE, AND SOLOMON CAME INTO FIX IT, AS HE DROPPED HIS KNEE RIGHT DOWN ONTO NICK’S FACE, CRUSHING HIS SKULL! Nick Hart might be completely out of it right now, as Solomon quickly picks Nick back up to his feet, AND A GIANT RIGHT HAND STRAIGHT TO THE JAW! Nick Hart falls into the ropes, as it forces him to rebound back, and Solomon flips him inside out with another huge right hand! Nick Hart might be completely out of it, and now Solomon is going to finish him off, as he gets Nick back up to his feet!
Flannery McCoy: ‘CALL OF THE VOID!!!!’ SOLOMON STANE NAILS THE DISCUS HAMMERSTRIKE, AND NICK HART CRUMBLES UNDER HIS OWN WEIGHT, AS HE FALLS TO THE MAT BELOW! SOLOMON LOOKS TO CAPITALIZE OVER THIS AND GET THE PIN OVER NICK TO BECOME THE NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS-
Jake Mercer: SOSA HENDERSON CUTS SOLOMON STANE RIGHT IN HALF WITH THE SPEAR!!! HENDERSON GOT ALL OF THAT AND HE GOT IT OUT OF ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE, AS SOLOMON ROLLS TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING! All that is left in the ring is Henderson, and a downed Nick Hart, and Henderson can smell victory right in arms reach, but I don’t think he is done just yet, as SOSA is going to change that, as he is calling for Visual Prophet to get back into the ring! Visual Prophet quickly enters into the ring, as SOSA grabs Nick by the head, AND HE THROWS HIM RIGHT INTO THE ARMS OF PROPHET…
Stew-O: ‘KISS TO THE HEART!!!’ THE BULLHAMMER CATCHES NICK HART, BUT THAT IS NOT ALL, AS SOSA HENDERSON PUTS THE FINAL END TO IT, WITH THE ‘STOLE YO BITC—!!!!’ THE CUTTER OUT OF NOWHERE! VISUAL PROPHET IS GUARDING THE RING, AS SOSA COVERS NICK HART, AND IT IS ALL BUT OVER RIGHT HERE, HE HOOKS THE LEG AND HE IS HOLDING NICK HART DOWN TO THE MAT, AND HE IS OUT FOR THE COUNT! THE REFEREE JUMPS TO THE MAT TO START A COUNT, AND HE IS THERE!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jake Mercer: IT’S OVER!!!
Stephie Love: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS OF THIS MATCH; AND STILL!!!!! THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, SOSA HENDERSON! THE VISUAL PROPHET! SOUL! FOOD! SUNDAY!!!!!!!!
(‘Morals’ begin to play throughout the speakers once again, as Visual Prophet would kneel down towards SOSA Henderson, embracing him as Dr. Angelo D’Angelo would enter into the ring, Unified Tag Team Championships in hand as he hands them back to SOSA and Prophet. They get back to their feet, before raising the titles proudly.)
Stew-O: Wow, what a chaotic match that we had here tonight! We already knew that heading into this match, the champions, as well as both of their challengers was heading into this match hungrier than ever before to prove themselves, and that they did, but in the end it was Soul Food Sunday who was able to walk out of King Of Elite STILL the Tag Team Champions.
Flannery McCoy: One has to wonder where they are going to go after this. Remember, they still have to deal with whoever wins the match between The Ice Aces, and Xander & Ryan, but as for right now… it looks to be celebration time for the still reigning and defending Champs! Congratulations to Soul Food Sunday on a successful title defense!
(The final image would show Prophet and Henderson continuing to celebrate their victory, while everyone else who was involved sits out either disappointed in their performance, or just straight out of it, as the camera would fade into the next match graphic.)
(King of Elite returns to the ring, and Bella Braxton is seen holding a microphone.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
(‘Show Me Your God’ by The Amity Affliction hits, and the Canadian crowd begins cheering loudly immediately after hearing the music start. Before long Theron Nikolas begins to walk out alongside Natasha Agnello, but there’s no smile on his face heading into a match like this. Knowing that he’s up against an Elitist he has tons of history with, and on top of that the man that cost him the King of Elite tournament, Theron is focused on one thing and one thing only, that being defeating Yhwach O’Hara. Before long Theron begins walking down the ramp, with Natasha not too far behind him.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… Accompanied by Natasha Agnello… From Edmonton, Alberta, Canada… Weighing in at 224 pounds… TTTTHHHHHEEEEERRRROOOOONNNN NNNIIIIIIIIKKOOOOOOLLLAAAASSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Theron Nikolas could have been in the King of Elite finals tonight, but we’ll never know whether or not he would’ve been able to defeat TLA thanks to Yhwach O’Hara, whose return on Voltage cost him in the second round. That alone would be enough reason for anyone to want revenge, but let’s not forget. These two have history, even at this very event.
Rich Russillo: King of Elite 2019. That’s where Theron Nikolas made Jamie O’Hara kneel and defeated him to retain the Answers World Championship. I’m sure neither man has forgotten about it, although from everything Yhwach has said, it’s almost like Theron will literally be facing a different person tonight than he did back then.
(‘SUN//EATER’ by Lorna Shore follows, and the reaction isn’t entirely positive. There’s way more of a mix of cheers and boos, but when Yhwach O’Hara walks out it’s clear that he’s not concerned with the crowd’s reaction at all. He has the same cold look on his face that he usually does, but he is staring directly at Theron Nikolas, who’s inside of the ring waiting for him. Yhwach slowly walks down the ramp and towards the ring, and with everything he’s said about Theron it’s clear that he’s perfectly fine with taking his time getting into the ring unlike Theron, who clearly wants this match to start as soon as possible.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent… Weighing in at 190 pounds… HE IS “THE OMNIPOTENT”, YYYYYHHHHHWWWWAAAAAAACHHHHHH OOOOOOOO’HHAAAARRRRAAAAAAA!!!!!!
James Peters: With the history that these two have, as well as how great of wrestlers they are on their own, you have to imagine that they’ll know what to expect from each other to an extent. While their wrestling styles may have changed, you have to wonder if they’ll be able to survive certain moves they may not have been able to in the past.
Rich Russillo: I guess we’ll see. It’s hard to say who really has the advantage here, though I will say. While Jamie O’Hara has been defeated by Theron, Yhwach O’Hara is currently undefeated. Will that change tonight?
Persephone: I don’t know, but I sure can’t wait to find out! I always love seeing such talented wrestlers fight and I hope they take as much time as they need. 👍
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: THERON NIKOLAS IMMEDIATELY RUNS IN!!! CARPE DIEM!!!
Rich Russillo: YHWACH BARELY DUCKED UNDER IT! THERON LOOKED FOR HIS MODIFIED VERSION OF CARPE DIEM WHICH HE’S ABLE TO HIT OUT OF NOWHERE, BUT SOMEHOW YHWACH WAS ABLE TO SEE IT COMING! YHWACH NOW WITH A JUMPING KNEE-
James Peters: BUT THERON NIKOLAS ISN’T GIVING YHWACH THE CHANCE TO GAIN THE UPPER HAND, KNOWING JUST HOW DANGEROUS HE CAN BE! THERON AVOIDED THE KNEE AND NOW HE GRABS YHWACH FROM BEHIND BEFORE SPINNING HIM AROUND FOR THE RIPCORD LARIAT! HE CALLS THAT THE TOUCH OF HEROINE-
Rich Russillo: BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY IT DIDN’T CONNECT! NEITHER MAN ABLE TO LAND A SINGLE MOVE AS YHWACH AVOIDS THE LARIAT, AND NOW HE GRABS THERON FROM BEHIND BEFORE LOOKING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX- BUT THERON IS ABLE TO RUN UP THE TURNBUCKLES AND PUSH HIMSELF OFF OF THEM, LANDING ON HIS FEET BEHIND YHWACH AS HE BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES!
James Peters: YHWACH CHOOSES TO REMAIN DOWN ON THE MAT AS THERON RUNS OVER HIM AND BOUNCES OFF THE OPPOSITE PAIR OF ROPES, AND NOW YHWACH QUICKLY PUSHES HIMSELF BACK UP BEFORE TAKING THERON DOWN WITH AN ARM DRAG! YHWACH BACK TO HIS FEET AS THERON GETS TO A KNEE, AND NOW YHWACH LOOKS FOR A SUPERKICK-
Rich Russillo: BUT I THINK THERON IS LOOKING TO PROVE THAT HE’S GOT YHWACH ALL FIGURED OUT TONIGHT! HE MANAGED TO CATCH THE BOOT AND NOW HE JUST SHAKES HIS HEAD AS HE STARES AT YHWACH, BEFORE QUICKLY GETTING TO HIS FEET AND PULLING YHWACH INTO HIS GRASP! GHOST’S REQUIEM!!!!
Persephone: WELL THAT DIDN’T CONNECT EITHER, THESE TWO AREN’T DOING A GOOD JOB ACTUALLY HITTING ANY MOVES! YHWACH PULLED HIMSELF OUT OF HARM’S WAY BEFORE THE GHOST’S REQUIEM COULD CONNECT, AND NOW HE BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES!!!!
James Peters: SLINGBLADE!!! THERON TURNED RIGHT INTO A SLINGBLADE, AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THERON WAS TRYING TO AVOID! YHWACH MAKES HIS WAY TO THE CORNER, PATIENTLY WAITING AS THERON STUMBLES TO HIS FEET, AND NOW YHWACH CHARGES IN BEFORE HITTING THERON WITH A JOHN WOO DROPKICK, SENDING THERON NIKOLAS CRASHING INTO THE TURNBUCKLES WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO DROP HIM AND SEND HIM ROLLING AWAY FROM THE CORNER! This is all Yhwach right now, and while Theron Nikolas was able to avoid getting caught with any significant offense at the start of this, one slip up was enough to give Yhwach control!
Rich Russillo: Theron Nikolas uses the ropes and starts pulling himself back up, BUT YHWACH INTERRUPTS THAT WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION AS HE PULLS THERON INTO A FRONT FACELOCK! Yhwach now, just ruthlessly elbowing away at the back of Theron’s head, already showing the more aggressive side that we’ve seen in matches like the one he had against Myles back at Road to Redemption! It seems that O’Hara like something on his mind, and whatever it is can’t be good this early on in the match! Yhwach now lifting up one of Theron’s arms, BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP FOR A SINGLE UNDERHOOK BRAINBUSTER!!!
Persephone: NO! THERON WAS ABLE TO PULL HIS WEIGHT DOWN AND KEEP HIMSELF ON HIS FEET! THERON USES HIS FREE ARM TO PUNCH AWAY AT YHWACH’S SIDE, BUT YHWACH QUICKLY LETS GO OF THERON BEFORE PULLING HIM INTO A KNEE RIGHT TO THE STOMACH BEFORE SENDING THERON INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING! Yhwach started dominating the second he found an opening. Didn’t he say he was going to save Theron or something like that? I don’t see how this is saving him, he’s just beating the hell outta him!
James Peters: I feel like many people don’t understand the thought process of Yhwach O’Hara since his Wicked Games return, and I have to admit that I may be one of those people. There’s so much that has confused me about this change in… Well everything since his return to EAW, but I can say one thing for sure right now, and it’s that Theron Nikolas is in trouble! YHWACH O’HARA CHARGES IN-
Rich Russillo: BUT THERON NIKOLAS BURSTS OUT OF THE CORNER, RUNNING AT YHWACH WITH A BICYCLE KICK!
James Peters: YHWACH CATCHES THE LEG AND HE SPINS THERON AROUND-
Rich Russillo: JUST TO GET CAUGHT WITH AN ENZUIGIRI BY THERON!! THERON NIKOLAS GETS UP AND KICKS YHWACH’S LEG OUT FROM UNDER HIM, DROPPING YHWACH TO A KNEE AS THERON RUNS THE ROPES-
Persephone: IN EXCELSIS!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: NO! THERON NIKOLAS GRABBED ONTO THE ROPES AND HELD ONTO THEM AT THE LAST SECOND, STOPPING HIMSELF FROM REBOUNDING RIGHT INTO THE BICYCLE KNEE! THERON QUICKLY TAKES THE OPPORTUNITY AND LANDS A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW OF YHWACH, AND HE DOESN’T STOP THERE! THERON PULLS YHWACH IN, CONNECTING WITH A SPINNING URANAGE SIDESLAM AS HE QUICKLY HOOKS THE LEGS, LOOKING TO PUT O’HARA AWAY!!!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWW-
Persephone: Well Yhwach just kicked out before two. Yay. 🙂
James Peters: It looks like we’re somehow still too early in this match for even a two count to be made on Yhwach, and it might be because of Theron being unable to land significant offense until now. He’s been able to find good counters to Yhwach’s moves, but clearly we need to start remembering and taking note of just how well Yhwach really knows Theron. Theron isn’t looking to let that stop him though, AS HE STARTS STOMPING AWAY AT YHWACH, LOOKING TO MAKE HIM PAY FOR WHAT HE DID WEEKS AGO!
Rich Russillo: Yhwach cost Theron Nikolas his King of Elite second round match, and after that it seemed as if he was the man Natasha Agnello had seen all those visions about! One of Natasha’s visions turned out to be Theron Nikolas in a pool of his own blood, but right now O’Hara is the one struggling as THERON PICKS HIM UP AND TOSSES HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Persephone: OR AT LEAST HE TRIED TO! YHWACH HELD ONTO THE ROPES AND PULLED HIMSELF ONTO THE APRON! Yhwach pulls himself up as Theron walks over to him! Theron grabs Yhwach by the hair and lands a forearm, and now he lands a second one! Theron now going for-
James Peters: NO! YHWACH JUST GRABBED THERON BY THE HEAD BEFORE QUICKLY DROPPING DOWN INTO A SEATED POSITION, PULLING THERON’S FACE RIGHT INTO THE TOP ROPE! YHWACH ROLLS OFF OF THE APRON BEFORE TURNING AND GRABBING THERON BY THE ANKLES, AND NOW YHWACH PULLS THERON’S LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HIM AS HE PULLS HIS FORMER KING OF ELITE 2019 OPPONENT OUT TO RINGSIDE! YHWACH GRABBING THERON NOW, AND HE SENDS HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST!
Rich Russillo: Yhwach quickly grabs Theron from behind before getting him into a back suplex position, AND DROPPING HIM BACK FIRST RIGHT ON TOP OF THE BARRICADE!!! THERON FALLS OFF, BUT IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE YHWACH IS DONE WITH THE BARRICADE JUST YET AS HE PULLS THERON INTO A FRONT FACELOCK! YHWACH LIFTS THERON UP, BEFORE DROPPING HIM RIGHT ONTO THE BARRICADE AS HIS MIDSECTION CRASHES ONTO IT! THERON IS HANGING ON THE BARRICADE AS THE FANS IN THE FRONT ROW HAVE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, AND YHWACH BACKS UP BEFORE RUNNING IN, LOOKING FOR A KNEE TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!
Persephone: IT CONNECTS! THERON WAS JUST HIT WITH A KNEE TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD AND THAT WAS ENOUGH TO KNOCK HIM OFF OF THE BARRICADE! Yhwach grabs Theron before finally sending him back into the ring, and are we sure that Theron was ready for this? I get he wants revenge and all that since Yhwach is the reason he missed out on King of Elite, but… He’s not really in great shape right now. Yhwach has dominated a lot of this, and now he’s climbing back onto the apron so he could-
James Peters: SPEAR THROUGH THE ROPES!!!!!
Rich Russillo: THERON NIKOLAS FORCED HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET AND RAN THE ROPES AS YHWACH CLIMBED ONTO THE APRON, GIVING HIM NO TIME TO REACT AS THERON NIKOLAS TAKES HIMSELF AND O’HARA OUT WITH A HUGE SPEAR!!!!!
James Peters: Theron Nikolas is seemingly being forced to adjust his game plan here! These two have a lot of history with each other and that seemed to serve Yhwach just as well, if not even more so than it did for Theron! That spear clearly caught Yhwach off guard though! Theron slowly pulls himself up, AND NOW HE GIVES YHWACH A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE, SENDING HIM CRASHING INTO THE STEEL STEPS!!!
Rich Russillo: Natasha Agnello is watching on at ringside, and Yhwach has dropped down into a seated position, leaning against the steel steps. Theron Nikolas backs up a little bit to create some more distance between him and Yhwach.. AND NOW HE RUNS IN BEFORE HITTING A FRONT DROPKICK SIMILAR TO O’HARA’S EARLIER IN THE MATCH, ONLY THAT DROPKICK HIT YHWACH DIRECTLY IN THE FACE AS HIS HEAD WAS CRUSHED BETWEEN THERON’S BOOTS AND THE STEEL STEPS!!!!! YHWACH O’HARA MIGHT JUST BE OUT OF THIS ONE!!!
Persephone: Man, I sure am glad that Theron’s suicide spear forced the ref to restart the count! This match probably would’ve been over by now. 🙃
James Peters: Theron Nikolas sends Yhwach back into the ring, and to avoid making the mistake that Yhwach made Theron chooses to roll back into the ring rather than climbing onto the apron. Theron’s not going for a cover though, and that’s because Yhwach is somehow already stirring! He can’t move very much, but clearly he’s moving enough for Theron to not even think about pinning him, AND INSTEAD START DRIVING ELBOW STRIKES RIGHT INTO YHWACH’S HEAD, POSSIBLY ATTEMPTING TO BEAT YHWACH TO THE POINT OF SUBMISSION!
Rich Russillo: We don’t see Elitists lose in that fashion very often, and I’m not so sure that Yhwach is willing to allow himself to join what’s likely a very small list! Theron is all over him, but Yhwach has enough life left in him to slowly start covering himself and block a few of the strikes being thrown by Theron Nikolas! Theron Nikolas takes notice of this, AND HE PULLS YHWACH UP TO HIS FEET JUST SO HE CAN BEGIN REPEATEDLY KNEEING HIM IN THE MIDSECTION!
Persephone: THERON SWITCHES TO SHOOT KICKS, REPEATEDLY HITTING YHWACH IN THE MIDSECTION BEFORE FINALLY KICKING YHWACH’S LEG OUT ONCE AGAIN! THIS TIME THERON TAKES A DIFFERENT ROUTE THOUGH, AS HE GOES FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!!!
James Peters: IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!! YHWACH DUCKED UNDER IT AND SHOVED THERON AWAY, SENDING HIM INTO THE CORNER! Theron quickly turns around- JUST IN TIME TO SEE YHWACH SPRINTING RIGHT TOWARDS HIM! KNIFE EDGE CHOP BY YHWACH O’HARA, FOLLOWED BY A SNAPMARE AS YHWACH RUNS THE ROPES!!
Rich Russillo: THERON NIKOLAS RUSHES TO HIS FEET AS YHWACH REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES, ALLOWING THERON TO CATCH YHWACH FOR ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT GHOSTS REQUIEM!!!
James Peters: YHWACH COUNTERS IT WITH A SCHOOLBOY TRANSITION, SHOVING THERON TO A KNEE AS YHWACH RUNS IN BEFORE GRABBING THERON BY THE WRISTS!!! HATHAWAY’S DREAMS!!!
Rich Russillo: NO, THERON PUSHED HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET AND HIT YHWACH WITH A HEADBUTT INSTEAD!!! BOTH MEN ARE ON SPAGHETTI LEGS RIGHT NOW-
James Peters: BUT YHWACH CHANGES THAT AS HE JUST SPUN AROUND AND TOOK THERON’S HEAD OFF WITH A DISCUS LARIAT!!!! THESE TWO CLEARLY KNOW EACH OTHER TOO WELL AS THEY SEEM UNABLE TO HIT THEIR BIGGER MOVES ON EACH OTHER, BUT A LARIAT LIKE THAT DEFINITELY DID THE TRICK!
Rich Russillo: We can’t forget, these guys have been using some of those moves for years. Avoiding stuff like that is just part of the job, but if anyone would know counters for each other’s major moves it’d definitely be Yhwach O’Hara and Theron Nikolas. I think both of these men are starting to realize this too, which is why Yhwach went with Hathaway’s Dreams instead of In Excelsis. In the end it still didn’t work though, and now neither man seems to have much of an advantage.
Persephone: Yeah, somehow they’re actually getting back to their feet, though neither of them are exactly as fresh as they were at the start of the match.
James Peters: Both men are finally back to their feet, AND YHWACH HITS THERON WITH A FOREARM! NOW HE HITS AN ELBOW! NOW ANOTHER FOREARM! NOW- NO! THERON DUCKS UNDER THE FINAL STRIKE, AND NOW HE HITS YHWACH WITH A CHOP! Yhwach stumbles a bit, BUT HE RESPONDS WITH ANOTHER ELBOW! Now it’s Theron stumbling, BEFORE HITTING YHWACH WITH A FOREARM! YHWACH SWINGS AT THERON AGAIN, BUT THERON BLOCKS THE STRIKE BEFORE KICKING YHWACH IN THE MIDSECTION! THERON RUNS THE ROPES-
Rich Russillo: SPINNING BACKHAND BY YHWACH, DROPPING THERON TO A KNEE!!! YHWACH NOW GRABBING THERON AND LIFTING HIM UP FOR A HIGH ANGLE GERMAN SUPLEX- BUT THERON IS ABLE TO ROLL THROUGH BY COVERING HIS HEAD AND NECK! THERON RUNS IN, AND HE HITS YHWACH WITH A BICYCLE KICK BEFORE YHWACH COULD ACTUALLY MAKE A MOVE! Both men throwing everything they can at each other now, AS THERON DELIVERS THE REVERSE STO! THERON NOW FOLLOWING IT UP BY LIFTING O’HARA UP FOR A DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX OF HIS OWN!
Persephone: BUT YHWACH LANDS A BACK ELBOW, FORCING THERON TO LET GO OF HIM! YHWACH PULLS THERON DOWN ONTO THE MAT WITH A SNAPMARE, BUT THERON ROLLS TO A KNEE BEFORE YHWACH COULD CAPITALIZE! THERON NOW SWEEPING YHWACH’S LEG, AND THERON ATTEMPTS A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP BUT NOW IT’S YHWACH ROLLING OUT OF THE WAY! THERON TURNS AROUND AS YHWACH GETS TO HIS FEET, AND NOW O’HARA GOES FOR A SUPERKICK BUT THERON IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT BEFORE GRABBING O’HARA BY THE ARM! SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE BY THERON!
James Peters: IT DOESN’T CONNECT! YHWACH DUCKED UNDER IT, AND AS THERON TURNS TOWARDS HIM, O’HARA DELIVERS AN OVERHEAD KICK!
Rich Russillo: BUT THERON CAUGHT HIM! THERON WAS ABLE TO GRAB YHWACH BY THE ANKLE BEFORE THE OVERHEAD KICK COULD CONNECT, AND NOW THERON PULLS YHWACH BY THE LEG, ROLLING HIM OVER ONTO HIS STOMACH BEFORE GRABBING HIM AND DEADLIFTING HIM UP!! GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB!!! THAT WAS THERON’S SIGNATURE DEADLIFT GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB, BUT FOR SOME REASON HE CHOSE NOT TO USE THE SITOUT AND GO FOR THE COVER!
James Peters: THAT’S BECAUSE HE’S NOT DONE!! THERON JUST ROLLED YHWACH ONTO HIS KNEES BEFORE GRABBING THE ARMS, AND NOW THERE’S THE KAMIGOYE!!!! DIVINE SUNDERER CONNECTS, AND THERON FALLS ONTO YHWACH O’HARA FOR THE COVER!!! THAT’S IT! THERON NIKOLAS IS THE FIRST TO DEFEAT YHWACH O’HARA!!!
OOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRREEEEEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: WHAT??? NO WAY, YHWACH O’HARA JUST GOT THE SHOULDER UP!!!! THERON NIKOLAS JUST HIT TWO OF HIS BIGGEST MOVES BACK TO BACK AND NEITHER OF THEM WERE ENOUGH TO PUT THIS MATCH AWAY!! Natasha Agnello is still on the outside, and I have to say she looks a bit worried after that kickout! A combination like that is devastating, but somehow it couldn’t stop Yhwach O’Hara from getting the shoulder up and continuing to fight!
Persephone: Theron stomps away at Yhwach, kicking and using his boot to force O’Hara out to the apron! It looks like Theron might have something planned, but I’m not too sure what he could be trying to do on the ring apron! It is the hardest part of the ring though, so whatever he may have in mind can’t be good! Theron makes his way out to the apron before lifting Yhwach up and pulling him into a front facelock, AND I THINK THERON IS SETTING UP FOR A BRAINBUSTER ONTO THE APRON! HE JUST LIFTED YHWACH UP, AND NOW HE-
James Peters: YHWACH JUST BARELY MANAGED TO SLIP BEHIND THERON, ABLE TO LAND ON THE APRON! YHWACH NOW, SHOVING THERON FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST AS THERON IS BARELY ABLE TO STAY ON THE APRON, HAVING TO HOLD ONTO THE TOP ROPE IN ORDER TO DO SO! YHWACH DOESN’T GIVE HIM MUCH TIME TO RECOVER THOUGH, AS HE IMMEDIATELY SPINS HIM AROUND AND KICKS HIM IN THE MIDSECTION BEFORE GETTING THERON IN THE FRONT FACELOCK AND APPLYING THE SINGLE UNDERHOOK! YHWACH NOW LIFTING THERON NIKOLAS UP, AND.. OH MY GOD!!! WHAT DID YHWACH JUST DO!?!?
Rich Russillo: YHWACH JUST SENT THERON’S HEAD CRASHING DOWN ONTO THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING WITH A SINGLE UNDERHOOK BRAINBUSTER!!!! BOTH MEN TUMBLE OFF OF THE APRON AND DOWN TO RINGSIDE, BUT I’D BE SURPRISED IF THERON IS STILL CONSCIOUS AFTER THAT!! I’D BE SURPRISED IF THERON IS ABLE TO LEAVE THIS MATCH WITHOUT A CONCUSSION! YHWACH O’HARA DROPPING HIMSELF BACK FIRST ONTO THE APRON DID DAMAGE TO HIM, BUT IT COULDN’T HAVE BEEN NEARLY AS BAD AS WHAT THERON JUST WENT THROUGH! These two are throwing everything they possibly can at each other, and somehow they just won’t stay down!
James Peters: Yhwach uses the apron to pull himself back up, and now he pulls Theron up by his hair before rolling him back into the ring! Yhwach now beginning to climb up to the top rope, and it looks like he has something planned, something he hasn’t gone for at any point in this match! Theron Nikolas is on all fours right now, AND YHWACH USES THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR “WELCOME BACK, O’ SLUMBERING ACE”!!!!! THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE BACK OF THERON’S HEAD!!!!!
Rich Russillo: IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!! THERON PULLED HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY LAST SECOND BEFORE HOOKING YHWACH’S ARMS FROM BEHIND!!! “DRAGON RUSH”!!!! THE SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX CONNECTS, BUT THERON DOESN’T HAVE ENOUGH STRENGTH LEFT TO HOLD THE BRIDGE POSITION AND PIN HIM, INSTEAD LETTING GO OF YHWACH AS BOTH MEN ARE DOWN ON THE MAT!
Persephone: Yeah, he probably couldn’t pin him because he was just dropped on his head not too long ago! It’s honestly crazy that he’s still able to move. Maybe we should call off the match and make sure there’s not any lingering effects from that brainbuster on the apron. It could be dangerous letting him keep wrestling.
James Peters: You know it’s not going to happen. If there’s anything Theron would like to do tonight it’s add another victory over O’Hara to his resume, especially given all that’s happened between them in only the past month. Theron Nikolas now able to use the ropes to pull himself back up, before grabbing Yhwach, and it looks like he plans to capitalize off of that snap dragon suplex as he lifts Yhwach up into a fireman’s carry! THERON POSSIBLY LOOKING FOR AN USHIGOROSHI-
Rich Russillo: BUT YHWACH SLIPS DOWN ONTO HIS FEET BEHIND THERON, AND NOW HE GETS THERON IN A BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX POSITION! INTO THE DREAMSCAPE!!!!
James Peters: IT CONNECTS!!! YHWACH ONCE AGAIN DROPPING THERON NIKOLAS ON HIS HEAD, THIS TIME WITH INTO THE DREAMSCAPE!!! YHWACH IS ONLY ABLE TO HOOK ONE OF THERON’S LEGS AS HE GOES FOR THE COVER, BUT THAT MIGHT JUST BE ENOUGH TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
James Peters: THERON NIKOLAS BARELY GETS THE SHOULDER UP!!!! THAT COULDN’T HAVE BEEN ANY CLOSER THAN IT WAS!!! Natasha Agnello is slowly pacing around at ringside, and I think she’s just worried about Theron right now! I don’t blame her, just look at what these two are doing to each other!
Rich Russillo: Yhwach O’Hara slowly gets back up before dragging Theron into the corner, and he just begins stomping and kicking away at him! Theron is in a seated position and now Yhwach runs to the opposite side of the ring before charging in, HITTING THERON WITH A RUNNING METEORA IN THE CORNER!!!! THERON ROLLS OUT OF THE CORNER, AND YHWACH CLEARLY ISN’T FINISHED THERE AS HE GRABS THERON BEFORE DELIVERING AN ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! YHWACH WITH A SECOND ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD, AND NOW YHWACH PULLS THERON UP!!!
Persephone: WAIT A SECOND, THERON CONNECTS WITH A SPINNING BACKFIST, CAUSING YHWACH TO STUMBLE!
James Peters: YHWACH SWINGS AT THERON, BUT THERON DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES!!!
Rich Russillo: HEADHUNTER!!!! THERON NIKOLAS CONNECTS WITH THE KNEE STRIKE, AND THIS MUST BE THE LAST BIT OF ENERGY THERON HAS LEFT AS HE’S SOMEHOW FORCING HIMSELF BACK UP TO HIS FEET!!! THERON ISN’T GOING FOR THE COVER JUST YET, BECAUSE HE’S LOOKING TO MAKE SURE YHWACH STAYS DOWN FOR GOOD!!!!
(Suddenly, the look on Natasha’s face goes from concern to pure fear. She begins shaking uncontrollably, as if she’s just seen a ghost. Theron glances at Natasha and notices this, but knows that he can’t allow himself to be distracted by whatever happened to her.)
Persephone: Um…? Is she okay?
James Peters: I’m not sure, and I think it’s gonna have to wait to find out after the match, because Theron has Yhwach right where he wants him and he’s clearly not about to miss out on another major victory after Yhwach cost him a spot in the King of Elite tournament!
Rich Russillo: Natasha Agnello seems to have realized something. Do you guys think she may be having a vision???
James Peters: Possibly, but what could she be seeing right now??
Rich Russillo: I don’t know, and I’m definitely not sure what she’s so afraid of when Theron has Yhwach right where he wants him! Theron now grabbing Yhwach by the arm, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S SETTING UP FOR CARPE DIEM!!!
Natasha Agnello: (off-mic) IT WASN’T HIM!!!!!
(This finally causes Theron to stop in his tracks as he looks at Natasha.)
Theron Nikolas: (off-mic) What!?
James Peters: It wasn’t him???
Rich Russillo: What does she mean it wasn’t him???
(Natasha sounds terrified, and she continues to yell at Theron.)
Natasha Agnello: (off-mic) IT’S NOT HIM!!! IT WASN’T O’HARA, IT NEVER WAS!
(Theron, who had pulled Yhwach up into a ripcord position by this point, can’t help but wonder what it is Natasha is talking about. He stares at her in confusion as she starts looking around the arena.)
James Peters: Wait.. It wasn’t him, she can’t mean the man in the vi-
Natasha Agnello: (off-mic) HE’S HERE!
(Before anybody could even react, the lights go out. Theron is finally forced to drop Yhwach, and this time he has no idea what to expect. He thought that Yhwach was the man Natasha had seen in the visions after Yhwach made his return at his expense, but it seems that may not have been the case. Theron looks around the now pitch black arena, looking for even a small sign.)
James Peters: :lupe:
Rich Russillo: Theron can’t be happy about this. It was bad enough when it happened with Yhwach. Now what’s going on? It wasn’t him? Was he not the one in the visions?
(Suddenly, a small flame is lit at the stage. The fans notice this, and there’s a lot of noise coming from the crowd as everyone in the arena seems to be confused. Nobody has any idea what’s going on, and Theron Nikolas is frustrated, wanting this mystery person to reveal who they are already. He saw the fear in Natasha’s eyes though, and this just makes him even more curious, not understanding what could cause her to react like that.)
(Finally the lights would return, and the first person the camera shows is Natasha. She’s crying, and she only manages to whisper a single word.)
Natasha Agnello: (off-mic, whispering) Methuselah.
James Peters: :krabs:
Rich Russillo: :krabs:
( https://tenor.com/bRl0I.gif )
Persephone: :oh:
James Peters: IT’S MR. DEDEDE!!! MR. DEDEDE IS HERE!!!
Rich Russillo: NO, YOU HEARD WHAT SHE SAID, DIDN’T YOU!? SHE SAID METHUSELAH WAS HERE!!
James Peters: YOU’RE RIGHT, AND WAIT! LOOK AT HIS HAND!! IS THAT…?
(Mr. DEDEDE is standing behind Natasha Agnello, and in his hand is the Equalizer, his signature weapon. That’s not all, however, as the weapon is on fire. After only a few seconds, Mr. DEDEDE raises the Equalizer.)
Rich Russillo: Oh no.. THAT’S NOT GOOD, LOOK OUT NATASHA!!!!
( *CRASH!* )
James Peters: OH GOD!!! MR. DEDEDE JUST HIT NATASHA WITH A FLAMING VERSION OF THE EQUALIZER, A GUITAR THAT ALREADY HAD BARBED WIRE STRINGS AND WAS FILLED WITH NAILS, THUMBTACKS AND SHARDS OF GLASS!!!!
Rich Russillo: NATASHA IS DOWN ON THE GROUND WITH BLOOD POURING OUT OF HER HEAD, AND THIS MUST HAVE BEEN WHO SHE SAW ALL ALONG! MR. DEDEDE MUST HAVE BEEN THE MAN IN HER VISIONS!!
(Theron Nikolas and Mr. DEDEDE stare directly at each other. Theron just had to watch Natasha get hit with the flaming Equalizer, and doesn’t even know what to think after everything that just happened in the past few minutes.)
James Peters: IN EXCELSIS TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!!!!
Rich Russillo: YHWACH O’HARA TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE OPENING CREATED BY MR. DEDEDE!!! THERON HAD THE MATCH IN HIS HANDS, BUT THE RETURN OF MR. DEDEDE AT NATASHA’S EXPENSE CAUSED THERON TO TAKE HIS EYES OFF OF HIS OPPONENT, AND HE JUST PAID FOR IT! YHWACH HOOKS THE LEGS AFTER THE BICYCLE KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: … Here is your winner… YYYYHHHHHWWAAAAAAAAAAAACHHHHHHH OOOOOOOOOO’HHHAAAARRRRAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
(The fans don’t even know how to react as Yhwach O’Hara rolls off of Theron Nikolas. He slowly is able to get up to his feet, but his music never hits as there still seems to be unfinished business, that being thanks to the man outside of the ring. Yhwach O’Hara and Mr. DEDEDE stare at each other, two well known enemies who were responsible for one of the biggest Pain for Pride matches ever. There’s obviously a lot of tension between the two, especially knowing how long it’s been since they’ve had to cross paths.)
James Peters: I’m… I’m not sure what to say.
Rich Russillo: It looks like Yhwach has noticed Mr. DEDEDE out at ringside, and I just don’t understand. Why now!? Why did Mr. DEDEDE return now of all times!?
James Peters: Yhwach O’Hara and Mr. DEDEDE went to war with each other in the past… But it was Mr. DEDEDE’s distraction that gave Yhwach the opening needed to win!
(The staredown lasts for a little while, which isn’t a surprise knowing everything these two put each other through. They don’t even take their eyes off of each other, until finally Yhwach begins to walk out of the ring, making his way up the ramp after picking up the victory. Despite the former rivalry however, it’d soon become clear that O’Hara is not the one Mr. DEDEDE is interested in. In fact, he doesn’t acknowledge him at all as he walks up the steel steps, entering the ring and looking down at Theron Nikolas.)
James Peters: It looks like Mr. DEDEDE was here for Theron after all, but why!? What could he or Natasha have done to deserve this?
Rich Russillo: Natasha was aligned with Mr. DEDEDE many years ago, and I’m sure that’s exactly why she was so afraid realizing who the man in her vision really was.
(Mr. DEDEDE kneels down next to Theron Nikolas, before tracing a pentagram on Theron’s chest with his finger. After this, he only says one word.)
Mr. DEDEDE: (off-mic) Tempest.
James Peters: Wait, what!?
Rich Russillo: No way.. Did I hear that right!?
(Mr. DEDEDE begins to walk out of the ring, leaving both Natasha Agnello and Theron Nikolas laid out, and the fans more confused than ever by what they just witnessed.)
James Peters: What!? Was that a challenge!? I can’t believe this, what did we just see!?
Rich Russillo: There’s so much I would’ve liked to say about that match. Yhwach and Theron gave that their all and I want to congratulate Yhwach.. But there’s just no way to ignore what just happened. It looks like we didn’t just witness the return of Mr. DEDEDE, but the return of Methuselah!
James Peters: If this was the man in Natasha’s visions, then she was right to warn Theron. He definitely needs to watch his back.
(The final image shown is Methuselah walking up the ramp, not even looking back at the laid out Theron or Natasha, as King of Elite fades away from ringside.)
(The cameras quickly catch up with Nick Hart and Shane Gates following their loss tonight. In the locker room, Shane is furious. Pacing back and forth, he can be seen visibly trembling from the rage coursing throughout him. Not far from him his Nick Hart, who’s heartbroken after everything. Tonight was supposed to be their night, but alas, that didn’t work out. He watches as Shane grabs a chair and throws it across the room. It crashes against the wall with a loud bang.)
Nick Hart: Hey man, quit it! There’s no need to be like this!
(But Shane persists, going over to that same wall and punching at it.)
Shane Gates: God DAMN IT! I’m tired of this! I’m tired of everything! This keeps happening!
(Nick tries to walk over to him to calm him down, but stops a few steps short. He raises his hand, confusion and uncertainty riddling his face as he tries to come up with the right words to say.)
Nick Hart: Look, I- I’m not happy either. It sucks. However, we did our best, didn’t we? We went there, we didn’t back down, and we did what we could in that match. I really wish that things would’ve panned out differently, but what else can we do?
(Nick shrugs, letting out an exasperated sigh.)
Nick Hart: As awful as it is, though… we made it this far, right? We got to be in this position. We got the opportunity to make this division competitive. I’m sure that if we keep our wits about us and don’t let tonight derail everything, then we can get back into the tag title picture in no time. This isn’t the end for us. Not at all. We’re going to get them next time–
(All of a sudden, Shane spins around and DECKS Nick Hart in the face! Caught unsuspecinly by the attack, Nick falls back on the floor.)
Shane Gates: THERE IS NO ‘NEXT TIME’ WITH US! YOU’VE RUINED EVERYTHING!
(Shane hoists Nick up and launches him into the lockers! Nick groans out in pain, but Shane walks over and repeatedly stomps down on him! He tries to cover up, but there’s no defending himself from his wrath! Shane grabs Nick by the throat and yanks him up, forcing him up to his feet.)
Shane Gates: You and I are FINISHED.
Nick Hart: S-Shane, don’t–
(A sickening headbutt knocks Nick out. He goes slump within Shane’s grasp. With him knocked cold, Shane hoists him up and SLAMS him down with the ‘Death by Insanity’! The snap piledriver leaves Nick Hart laid out on the floor. Shane gets up and looks on at his former partner. He shakes his head with disgust.)
Shane Gates: No more promises. Only guarantees.
(Shane storms out of the locker room, swinging the door wildly open. Hearing the commotion, security and medical personnel rush over and see Nick. They go over and tend to him as we fade to the next match.)
Gina Romano: The following is set for ONE FALL! …and it is for the EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAAAMPIONSHIP!!!
( “M3tamorphosis” by Playboi Carti ft. Kid Cudi echoes throughout the Rogers Arena as Impact jerks the curtain and stands focused atop the centrestage. He looks around the stadium, unruffled by the atmosphere as this is most likely his millionth time competing in a venue of this magnitude. He smiles, immediately switching to his game on face as he begins to march his way down towards the ring. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THE CHALLENGER! Weighing in at 221 pounds.. From Seattle, Washington.. HE IS AN EAW HALL OF FAMER.. HE.. IS… IMPACT!!!!
Deadprez: Impact made history at Pain For Pride 15 as he broke his own record as being the only person to become a ten-time world champion. There is no man that has ever reached the heights and felt the greatness that Impact has throughout his decorated career; and he has an opportunity to break his record for the second time in the span of a half year by defeating Jake Smith to become an eleven time world champion.
Eve: Impact has made it clear that it doesn’t sit well in his stomach knowing that historic reign led to being ended abruptly by Jake Smith when he cashed in his Cash in The Vault briefcase. He believes that Jake Smith doesn’t fathom the responsibilities, nor understand what it takes to even become a world champion—and he has said for months cashing in that opportunity will prove him right. Smith hasn’t been the most successful guy this season before cashing in his briefcase, meanwhile Impact was cruising and bruising through every competitor that stepped before him.
Gavin Kirkland: This is in unarguably Jake Smith’s biggest test.. This is his biggest opportunity to relieve himself of the critics.. of the naysayers.. of Impact.. but Impact’s resurgence to the top since Grand Rampage last year has proven that he is better than ever.. and the fact that he was able to win the Grand Rampage for the second time in his year and succeed with the career-defining opportunity.. Impact is better than ever.. Anyone at his age would have already hung up the boots.. but not Impact.. Impact is hungrier than ever. Impact is more passionate about this industry than ever.. and the fact that he sees someone like Jake Smith who did what he did to get what he wanted despite spending an entire season failing.. It makes Impact sick.. and he vows that tonight his fairytale will end and the championship will fall back into the rightful champion he claims.
( Impact stands in the middle of the ring, eyes darting the big titantron as his theme song is eventually replaced by “War” by grandson. An ear-deafening pop almost causes an earthquake in the heart of Vancouver as Jake Smith makes his appearance known.. He unhooks the EAW Answers World Championship from around his waist and raises it to pyrotechnics on the stage and fireworks around the stadium.. He drapes it around his waist and spreads his other arm as he makes his way down the aisle and into the squared circle. )
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT! Weighing in at 210 pounds.. From Atherton, California.. HE IS THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… JAKE! SMIIIITHH!!
Deadprez: Despite what Impact has claimed about Jake Smith; we can’t deny that what we’ve seen of the world champion as of late is a rejuvenated human being. It is almost like that world champion has made him more confident and focused than ever.. and rightfully so.. and that might be the one thing that Impact is underestimating. Jake Smith fought for this championship his entire career. It has been the one thing that has evaded him throughout his entire career. He has sat back and seen his rivals like Drake King.. and Xander Payne.. and Kassidy Heart.. become world champions while he wasn’t close to being it.
Gavin Kirkland: He didn’t come this far in his career to be disrespected by Impact like this. He didn’t fight for this position so he can be underestimated and written off. Jake Smith thinks of the EAW Answers World Championship as if it is his own child. Even look at the way he holds it as he enters the ring. Look at the way he looks at it before he looks at Impact. The championship in his dream. Now, that he has fulfilled his lifelong dream.. He doesn’t want to let it go. He refuses to let it go. He has said that he is willing to go through hell or high water, and even sacrifice his life over it. He’s finally gotten the one thing that he has yearned for so long.. and if Impact thinks that Jake Smith is going to hand it over to him tonight.. He’s got one thing coming because Smith is going to put his life on the line to protect his dream.. The American Dream..
Eve: I can’t believe I am saying this about you, Gavin; but you couldn’t have said it any better. Jake Smith has waited for this moment for his entire life. The moment to defend the world championship in a stadium of this magnitude with a match of this importance.. and now that he is living that moment right now.. Smith is not going to let this opportunity to prove that he is in fact world championship material.. and beating Impact.. Defeating Impact to prove that.. Then the entire world of professional wrestling will have no choice but to take him seriously..
( DING! DING! DING! )
Eve: …and it is now OFFICIAL! The EAW Answers World Championship is up for grabs here in the heart of British Columbia as Jake Smith looks to retain in his first defence in what many people have speculated as the most difficult way possible; against unarguably one of the greatest world champions to ever compete inside this illustrious sport. Impact—who had been EAW Answers World Champion since June of last year had been running roughshod over the entire upper echelons up until Road To Redemption where Jake Smith would fulfill his destiny and end his championship reign. While Jake Smith may have finally gotten what he has sought after since he signed to EAW, you have to wonder what his chances are tonight against the EAW Hall of Famer.
( Both Impact and Jake Smith are in no hurry as they are still standing on either side of the ring, staring right into each other eyes and listening to the sold-out and divided Vancouver crowd here tonight. )
Crowd: LETS GO IMPACT! LETS GO JAKE! LETS GO IMPACT.. LETS GO JAKE!
Deadprez: The challenge that stands in front of Jake Smith is completely different than what he had when he cashed in on Impact. What the champion did was no different than any other Cash In The Vault recipient.. and he took advantage of Impact who was roughed up during his Elimination Chamber defence.. and he saw those vulnerabilities and Impact was at a colossal disadvantage.. Tonight? It is a whole different playing field. Impact is one-hundred percent. Impact can see him coming from a mile way. Impact has been a month and a half for the opportunity to regain his championship.. and tonight is the make or break moment if Jake Smith is ready for the world championship or not.. Smith knows that.. and he has refused to show any sort of telltale sign that he feels threatened.. He is standing on his business.. He is zeroing in on his eyes, demonstrating no fear as Impact simply stares back with a smirk. Impact has done this
dance ten times.. and he knows the psychology of the world champion.. and you betcha that Impact will not hesitate from using that as a weapon.
Gavin Kirkland: The champion and challenger look around the Rogers Arena one more time before a collar-and-elbow is initiated. Both men trying to outmuscle each other with Smith trying to back him up against the ropes. Impact is able to switch it around and the referee teleports over to administer the five count.. Impact slowly removes himself from Smith.. Smith looking more focused and vigilant as he is subsceptible for a cheap shot any moment now.. Smith flinches as Impact simply pats his left cheek! Impact with a bright smile on his face as he already getting cerebral tonight.. Smith shakes it off.. and he circles the ring before engaging into another collar-and-elbow with Impact. Smith steps into the headlock, but Impact presses his left foot against the back of his right knee to bring him down to a knee. Impact twists out of the headlock and applies a wrist lock. Impact wrenching at the wrist before Smith vaults forward onto his feet. He twists inwards, lowers Impact’s hands to shin height and kicks out the wrist lock. Smith immediately administers a headlock with Impact picking him off the ground for a suplex counter. Smith tugs on the headlock to stop him from doing so, forcing Impact to push and lean him up against the ropes.
Eve: Smith has no choice but to rebound against the ropes as he now runs across the ring. Impact is on the receiving end as he gets taken off his feet with a shoulder tackle courtesy of the champ. Jake Smith brushes his shoulder, perhaps the chip on his own shoulder as he runs back into the ropes. Impact gets up and hops down as Smith jumps over him… SPLAT! Jake Smith face plants the canvas as Impact snatched his left foot and basically tripped him! Smith might have broken his nose on Impact.. and now the former world champion springs up to his feet and momentarily smiles towards the crowd. He turns over to bring Jake Smith up to his feet… He winds up for a knife-edge chop towards the chest.. but Smith is faster as he strikes him with a punch right to the jaw! ..and another punch! ..and another one! ..and another one! …and another one as he now has Impact cornered against the turnbuckles. Smith has the option to pepper him with strikes but he decided to Irish whip him into the other corner! Impact thuds into the turnbuckles as Smith follows it up with a running clothesline! Impact drives his shoulder into his face; effectively stopping him into his tracks! Impact now sits himself on the top turnbuckle.. and after watching Impact for years he must be going for that twisting shoulder tackle off the second turnbuckle! AND IMPACT TAKES FLIGHT!
Gavin Kirkland: JAKE SMITH CONNECTS WITH A JUMPING GAMENGIRI KICK BEFORE HE COULD EVEN GET ANY HEIGHT! Impact is slumped on the second turnbuckle as the EAW Answers World Champion meets him on the top turnbuckle. He holds onto his head from his left.. THERE IS NO WAY HE WILL BE ABLE TO SUCCEED WITH AN AVALANCHE CUTTER THIS EARLY INTO THIS MATCH! AND I AM RIGHT AS IMPACT WITH A STRAIGHT JAB TO THE FACE! SMITH’S EXPRESSION IS AS IF HE GOT WOKEN UP BY THAT JAB.. AND SMITH RESPONDS WITH A FOREARM SMASH ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE.. IMPACT WITH A RIGHT.. SMITH WITH A FOREARM.. IMPACT WITH A RIGHT.. BOTH MEN IN A PRECARIOUS POSITION.. AND IMPACT IS NOW STARTING TO OVERWHELM THE CHAMPION WITH THESE PUNCHES! SMITH NEEDS TO THROW UP HIS FOREARMS TO BLOCK THEM!
Deadprez: Impact continues to pepper him with these punches on the top turnbuckle.. UNTIL SMITH LUNGES FORWARD AND CLOTHESLINES HIM OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! AND BOTH MEN GO TUMBLING OVER THE ROPE; SPILLING ONTO THE APRON AND ON THE RINGSIDE FLOOR! The champion and challenger sustained such a cringey fall onto the floor below.. They both went overboard… but it doesn’t matter to both men as they are looking to make a huge statement.. Jake Smith is fighting under more pressure and bigger expectation that he’s ever had before.. While Impact is hell bent on getting revenge and regaining what he believes will always be.. Smith took a huge risk right there as he equally took as much of a hit from that! Smith was able to get up faster as both competitors trade lefts and rights at ringside! The referee begins to administer the count!
ONE!!!!
Eve: Jake Smith with a right forearm smash before eating a knife-edge chop courtesy of the challenger! Smith with a forearm smash! Impact with a knife-edge chop! Smith with a forearm smas- NO! Impact delivers a forearm smash to the jaw and immediately following it up with a knife-edge chop! Forearm and a chop! Another forearm and a chop!
TWO!!!
THREE!!!
Deadprez: Jake Smith is backed up right against the corner barricade! Forearm and a chop! Forearm and a chop! Smith finally frees himself from this onslaught by driving his knee into the midsection. That right there blew air out of his chest as Smith takes a breather before grabbing Impact’s head and smacking it right across the top of the apron! Smith grabs a handful of his hair and whips his head right back into the apron. Impact drops down to one knee as Smith’s other hand has a handful of his tights.. and he runs with him towards the steel steps! Impact turns it around and Smith goes into the steel steps! Smith leans his foot against the steel steps to stop the collision. Impact eats a shoulder to the face.. and Smith swings for a clothesline! Impact ducks under it and delivers a knife-edge chop to the upper chest!
FOUR!!!
FIVE!!
SIX!!
Eve: The pain is staring to sink in for the champion as Smith immediately tries to scramble away. Impact pulls him in by the wrist.. and blasts him in the jaw with an uppercut! Smith is resting right up against the steel steps.. and Impact goes for another punch.. but Smith ducks under the punch, cinches his waist from the front and thrusts him into the barricade with authority! Smith follows up that thrust with another one.. NO! Impact blocks it with his knee! Smith thrusted his own head right into his knee as he reels away and tries to shake the cobwebs against the steel steps.. and what is Impact thinking here?
SEVEN!!
Deadprez: Impact sprints and gets his feet planted on the bottom rope from the outside.. AND THE CHALLENGER SLINGS BACK AWAY FROM THE ROPES! AND DELIVERS HIS VINTAGE SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK TO JAKE SMITH.. THIS TIME ON THE OUTSIDE SOMEHOW.. AND SMITH LOSES BALANCE, FALLS OFF THE STEEL STEPS AND LANDS RIGHT ONTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD ON THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!
EIGHT!!
Gavin Kirkland: Impact notices the ringside count and immediately rolls in and out of the squared circle to reset. Imagine how embarassing it would be for Impact to lose his rematch in that manner. Smith is still trying to shake off the cobwebs for Impact’s unique offense as he uses the barricade to get up to his feet. The challenger kicks him in the midsection and scoops him up. Impact slams him down and Smith screeches in pain as his body was dumped onto the ringside floor.. and Impact looks around and points his fingers at the barricade.. Could be thinking of doing it here.. IMPACT LOOKS TO DELIVER THE SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT OFF THE BARRICADE ONTO SMITH!
Deadprez: DENIED! Jake Smith got up to a vertical base in the nick of time.. and he issuesd a superkick to the back of his right knee! Impact slips and fall onto the barricade, but he is able to hold on for dear life! Jake Smith grapples his head and flips his body over.. The challenger’s entire upper body is dangling off the barricade with his two feet being the only thing keeping him up.. and SMITH SPREADS HIS ARMS.. AND HE SPIKES IMPACT ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR WITH A HANGMAN DDT ONTO THE OUTSIDE.. HE MIGHT BE PAYING HOMAGE TO THE MANY LEGENDS WHO HAS USED THAT VARIATION OF THE DDT.. BUT KNOWING THE CHAMPION’S HISTORY WITH LEGENDS.. IT DEFINITELY WASN’T.. and Jake Smith now grabs Impact and rolls him back into the ring. He doesn’t go for the cover as he now sits in the corner and patiently waits for the challenger to get up to his feet.
Eve: Jake Smith with a kick to the midsection before the Irish whip into the ropes. Impact rotates, spinning around and reversing it with a knee into the midsection. Impact throws the arm over and hoists him up into a suplex position. Smith goes over the shoulders and has the waist lock. Standing switch! Impact pushes Jake Smith into the corner turnbuckles. Smith holds onto the turnbuckles while Impact rolls backwards onto his feet. Smith charges in for a superkick. Impact ducks under it and goes for the cobra clutch! Smith counters by grabbing him by the side, picking him up to release the cobra clutch and driving him down with the pendulum backbreaker. Impact remains laid out on his right knee and Smith picks him up off his knee onto his shoulders, transitioning him into the fireman’s carry.. AND DROPS HIM CLEAN WITH A USHIGOROSHI BACKBREAKER! COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TW-
Gavin Kirkland: Jake Smith is not even close to getting that third account with that immediate quickout from the challenger. Impact is able to crawl himself into the ropes, using the bottom rope as a crutch.. Smith helps Impact up to his feet and blasts him with a forearm smash to the jaw before irish whipping him into the other side of the ring. Impact holds onto the ropes as Smith tries to pull him off it! Smith tries to detach him, but Impact uses that as an opening to pull him in and connect with a forearm smash of his own.. and a second forearm smash.. and a third forearm smash.. and now Impact successfully whips him towards the ropes. Smith rebounds, and starts picking up speed as he ducks under the champion’s offense! Smith ducks under the arm, but Impact grabs onto his tights from out of nowhere, retracting him and dropping him with a german suplex! The champion gets dumped onto the back of his hea-
Eve: The champion immediately springs up to his feet following the german suplex! Possibly out of pure adrenaline as Impact turns around too late and gets clobbered with a bicycle kick.. That might have been a spit or a tooth flying out of his mouth—either way, he did not hesitate with that pump kick straight to the jaw. Impact is resting against the ropes as Smith now darts towards him! Smith is possibly going to send him overboard but Impact stops him in his steps with a pump kick of his own. Smith drops to one knee as Impact now runs back into the ropes.. Smith gets off his knee and connects with another pump kick.. Impact falls and rebounds off the second rope.. and retaliates for another pump kick. Smith goes around the foot and blasts him in the back of the head with a pump kick. Impact falls down to both knees as Smith looks around as if a lightbulb popped over his head. Smith backs up into the corner and signals for it! SO LONG.. AND GOOD NIGHT!-
Deadprez: IMPACT DUCKS IT AND SIMULTANEOUSLY ROLLS UPWARDS BY BOTH OF THE CHAMPION’S LEGS.. AND HE HAS NOW FOLDED HIM OVER INTO THE WALLS OF IMPACT! THIS IS NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR THE CHAMPION AS HE COULD LOSE HIS EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP RIGHT HERE AS HE IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING WITH NOWHERE TO GO BUT TO TAP! JAKE STARTS TO MUSCLE AND MUSTER THE STRENGTH TO CRAWL OVER TOWARDS THE ROPES! JAKE SMITH DID NOT GO THIS FAR TO LOSE HIS FIRST WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! ESPECIALLY BY TAPPING OUT! AND JUST WHEN HE WAS ABOUT TO GET HIS HAND ONTO THE BOTTOM ROPE.. IMPACT PULLS HIM BACK INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING- NO! JAKE THRUSTS HIM AWAY!
Eve: Both men get up to their feet at the same time. The challenger issues a knife-edge chop to the midsection of Jake Smith! Welts are starting to form on the chest of the champion as he responds with a forearm smash! Forearm smash! Knife-edge chop! Forearm smash—Impact ducks it and sweeps the leg. Smith jumps over the leg and blasts him in the jaw with a flush superkick. Impact is out like a light as Smith now backs up into the corner and charges towards the kneeling Impact.. SO LONG AND GOOD NIGHT! WHAT THE!! IMPACT JUMPS UP ONTO HIS FEET AND DRILLS SMITH WITH THE EVISCERATION!! NO!! SMITH MANAGED TO HAVE THAT SCOUTED AND HAS GRABS HIM BY BOTH OF HIS LEGS!! AND HE CATAPULTS HIM FORWARD AND IMPACT SMASHES HIS HEAD FACE FIRST ONTO THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE… Impact walks backwards, away from the corner turnbuckles trying to gain sense of his surroundings.. He might be concussed as he turns around. Jake Smith scoops him up for michinoku driver. Impact is able to counter it, turn around and goes for his own michinoku driver! This is what he is known for!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT JAKE SMITH DROPS AND HAS HIM IN POSITION OFF THE MICHINOKU DRIVER ATTEMPT FOR THE PROPHETIC ROLLING CUTTER!! BUT IMPACT DROPS DOWN AND ROLLS HIM OVER INTO A WHEELBARROW PREDICAMENT.. IMPACT OPS NOT TO GO FOR THE PIN, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE HE TRIES TO TRANSITION THE WHEELBARROW TAKEDOWN INTO THE WALLS OF IMPACT!! BUT JAKE SMITH GRAPPLES HIM AND ROLLS HIM OVER INTO THE SMALL PACKAGE.. IMPACT ROLLS FORWARD TO PIN HIM DOWN..
Eve: BUT SMITH USES THE MOMENTUM OF THE ENTIRE SMALL PACKAGE TO ROLL ONTO HIS FEET WITH HIS KNEE HOOKED… AND HE DRILLS HIM DOWN WITH THE BROKEN WINGS!! BROKEN WINGS!! SNAP SWINGING NECKBREAKER CONNECTS.. BUT JAKE SMITH DOESN’T GO FOR THE COVER! Jake Smith knows he must inflict more damage on the challenger as he gets up to his feet and waits for Impact to do the same. Smith crouches in the corner and begins to pull down his kneepad.. Will it be the third time the charm… Smith charges for SO LONG AND GOODNIGHT FOR THE THIRD TIME! WILL IT CONNECTS! IMPACT STEPS TO THE SIDE! SMITH TURNS AROUND AND GETS NAILED WITH A STEP-UP ENZIGURI!!
Gavin Kirkland: THE KICK DIDN’T FLOOR THE CHAMPION.. AND SMITH REBOUNDS OFF THE SECOND ROPE.. MEANWHILE IMPACT IS DOWN ON BOTH KNEES.. AND SMITH DRIVES HIS KNEE INTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!! SO LONG AND GOODNIGHT CONNECTS.. AND THAT STATEMENT MIGHT APPLY TO IMPACT’S INTENTIONS ON WINNING HIS CHAMPIONSHIP BACK.. SMITH ROLLS HIM OVER AND DEEMS HIM STAGGERED ENOUGH TO TAKE THE PIN.. BOTH SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Eve: IMPACT POWERS OUT! Jake Smith isn’t surprised as he knows he needs more to take down the ten time world champion.. Smith gets up to a vertical base and brings Impact up with him. He leans Impact against the turnbuckles and tries to seat him on the top turnbuckle. Impact notices this and kicks him in the face as a repeller. Smith drops to his knees, but immediately pipes back with a pump kick to the jaw that has Impact slumped against the turnbuckles. Smith now lifts him up and positions him on the top turnbuckle. He joins him by standing on the second turnbuckle as the world champion seems to be going for a superplex! THIS MIGHT BE ENOUGH TO TAKE OUT THE WORLD CHAMPION!! SMITH NOW BEGINS TO HOIST IMPACT INTO THE AIR… BUT IMPACT WITH PUNCHES STRAIGHT TO THE RIBS… IMPACT TRYING HIS BEST TO AVOID THE EVER-SO PAINFUL DESCENT OF THE UNFORGIVING AVALANCHE SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake Smith counteracts by driving the points of his elbows into the back of his head. It starts to look all clear for the champion as Impact is no longer fighting out of the superplex. SMITH LOOKS TO GO HIGH RISK WITH THE SUPERPLE—BUT IMPACT CLOBBERS HIS CHEST WITH AN OPEN-HAND CHOP.. Jake Smith nearly loses balance and almost falls off the top turnbuckle as a result of that chop! Impact with a knife-edge chop to Jake Smith on the top turnbuckle.. and Smith refuses to relinquish his position and simply shuffles to the side and his entire foundation is the second rope as opposed to the turnbuckle. Smith answers with jabs to the body, but Impact’s knife edge chop continues to stun him.. and NOW IMPACT JUMPS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE.. AND SENDS JAKE SMITH FLYING ONTO HIS BACK WITH AN AVALANCHE FRANKENSTEINER…
Eve: Jake Smith with an ugly crash landing onto the ringside floor as a result of that super frankensteiner off the top turnbuckle. Impact was looking to crawl over to get the pin, but Smith had the wherewithal to roll out of the ring and fall to his knees onto the ringside floor. That probably wouldn’t have been enough to win him back the world championship as Impact reaches through the ropes and grabs the back of his head… Smith claps back and stuns Impact with a jumping gamengiri kick from out of nowhere. Impact falters into the middle of the ring as Smith slides back in and stalks the challenger from behind. Jake Smith snatches Impact into the inverted front face hold! AND GOES FOR THE ROLLING CUTTER! BUT IMPACT GOES AROUND THE WAIST AND GETS THE FULL NELSON!! AND HE HOOKS THE LEG AND SWINGS FORWARD FOR THE HAIL MARY! AND HE SPIKES JAKE SMITH WITH THE FULL NELSON FACEBUSTER.. AND HE NOW ROLLS HIM OVER INTO THE COVER..
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
T-
Gavin Kirkland: Jake Smith pops his shoulder to keep his championship reign alive, but that very shoulder has now been transitioned right into a cobra clutch on the ground! A modified Millennial Incarceration is administered in the middle of the ring as Smith scrambles to get his rope break, but Impact is not giving him any room to wiggle or breathe! Smith is able to somehow get some legroom and get up to a vertical base. He steps in and out, breaks free of the Millennial Incarceration, pulls him down back to the ground, hooks the arm and pulls back on the head.. and now it is the world champion’s turn to inflict this level of pain as he applies the Famous Last Words. He countered the modified cobra clutch into the omoplata crossface as Impact may lose right here and right now!
Deadprez: Impact is able to roll to the side, position his entire body weight on top of the champion as the challenger now plucks him off the ground into a powerbomb position.. and he plants him with a powerbomb.. but Jake Smith refuses to let the hold go as he tries to transition a triangle hold back into the omoplata crossface.. but Impact is just as dedicated to keeping his grounds as he now holds Jake Smith up into another powerbomb position.. and he plants him with another powerbomb and that is enough for Smith to let go of the arm triangle submission! Impact favours his trachea, gasping for air while Smith tries to shake cobwebs from two consecutive powerbombs onto the back of his neck! And Impact uses the second rope to get himself up to his feet while Smith gradually creeps up onto a vertical base.
Eve: AND IMPACT LOOKS TO GET THE EVISCERATION!! BUT SMITH COUNTERS IT INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY POSITION… AND HE DROPS HIM DOWN.. AND DRILLS HIM IN THE JAW WITH THE KNEE!! GO TO SLEEP BY JAKE SMITH… AS HE’S NOT FINISHED YET AS HE APPLIES THE REVERSE FRONTFACE.. AND SPINS OVER.. AND SPIKES THE CHALLENGER WITH THE ROLLING CUTTER!! A GO TO SLEEP KNEE FOLLOWED BY THE PROPHETIC ROLLING CUTTER AS SMITH IS PULLING OUT THE STEPS TO PROTECT HIS REIGN TONIGHT! HE LAYS ON TOP WITH THE LATERAL PRESS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THR-
Deadprez: IMPACT THROWS HIS SHOULDER UP.. AND JAKE SMITH IMMEDIATELY CINCHES IN THE ANACONDA VICE ON THE CHALLENGER.. THE CHAMPION CALLS THI THE 505.. AND IMPACT’S CHANCES OF RECLAMATION ARE FLICKERING MORE AND MORE AS HE CONTINUES TO FIND HIMSELF IN THESE TYPE OF SITUATIONS.. JAKE SMITH CLEARLY INTENDS ON SUBMITTING IMPACT TONIGHT.. BUT IMPACT REFUSES TO GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT AS HE IS NOW ON HIS KNEE FIGHTING THROUGH THE ANACONDA VICE.. BUT SMITH APPLIES MORE TORQUE AND PRESSURE TO THE 505 SUBMISSION HOLD AS IMPACT GOES BACK TO DROPPING DOWN TO ONE KNEE.. IF IMPACT COLLAPSES AND SMITH GETS HIM BACK ONTO THE GROUND.. THEN IT WILL SURELY BE LIGHTS OUT FOR THE CHALLENGER..
Eve: IMPACT SWINGS HIM BACKWARDS AND DRIVES HIS LOWER BACK DOWN ONTO HIS KNEE.. AND HE WHIPS HIM FORWARDS BY THE SIDE OF THE HEAD; PROPELLING HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE! IMPACT SOMEHOW MANAGED TO CONNECT WITH AN STO BACKBREAKER AND A RELEASE REVERSE STO INTO THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE WHILE HE WAS IN THE THICK OF THE STANDING ANACONDA VICE… AND IMPACT CONTINUES TO FAVOUR HIS NECK.. AND SMITH IS DOZING OFF WITH HIS HEAD LEANING UP AGAINST THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE… IMPACT GOT LUCKY THERE AS HE WAS ONLY ABLE TO PULL THAT OUT OF THE HAT WITH THEIR CLOSE PROXIMITY WITH THE ROPES.. BUT REST ASSURED.. JAKE SMITH WON’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN.
Gavin Kirkland: Impact gets up to his feet, walks through the ropes and ascends the turnbuckles that Smith is slumped up against. What is the challenger thinking here? Smith begins to regain consciousness, sees what is happening right above him and lays a clean punch right on the dome of Impact’s head. It barely even moves the challenger as the champion connects with a discus forearm smash that does the damage and stuns Impact onto the top turnbuckle. Smith quickly climbs onto the top turnbuckle with the challenger and the champion hooks the head.. AND HE LOOKS TO GO FOR THE AVALANCHE CUTTER!! WE COULD BE ON THE PRECIPICE OF WITNESSING THE STARBREAKER CONNECT..
Deadprez: AND JAKE CONNECTS WITH THE AVALANCHE CUTTER OFF THE TOP TURNBUCK-
Eve: BUT IMPACT GETS HIM IN THE INVERTED FRONTFACE POSITION.. AND DROPS HIM BACK OF THE HEAD FIRST ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE WITH THE SPINNING HEADLOCK ELBOW DROP!! THAT INVERTED DDT ELBOW DROP DRIVING HIS SKULL UNPROTECTED ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS JAKE SMITH FALLS TO THE GROUND.. AND IMPACT NOW SCRAMBLES INTO THE RING… HE DOESN’T GO FOR THE COVER.. NEITHER DOES HE WAIT FOR HIM TO ROLL OVER TO A MANOEUVRE THAT HE IS WELL KNOWN FOR.. AND HE SPRINGBOARDS OFF.. AND SPLASHES DOWN ONTO THE WORLD CHAMPION’S BACK WITH THE FLIGHTS SIGHT SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT AS HE NOW ROLLS HIM OVER AND GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: SMITH KICKS OUT! IMPACT ALMOST HAD HIM THERE!! IMPACT WITH A LOOK OF DISBELIEF ON HIS FACE—BUT ONLY MOMENTARILY AS HE SNAPS BACK INTO FOCUS AND EMERGES TO HIS FEET.. AND HE WAITS FOR SMITH TO DO THE SAME AS WE ALL KNOW WHAT COMES NEXT… and Smith gets up to a vertical base and right as he turns around.. Impact sweeps his leg and goes for the Walls of Impact.. but right as Impact was about to snatch the other leg.. SMITH KICKS HIS LEFT KNEE AND IMPACT DROPS DOWN ONTO BOTH KNEES.. AND SMITH TRIES FOR THE OMOPLATA CROSSFACE ONCE AGAIN!!
Eve: SMITH MANAGES TO CINCHES IN THE LEG SCISSORS STEP OF THE FAMOUS LAST WORDS.. BUT IMPACT IS ABLE TO ROLL FORWARD AND GET HIS LEGS WRAPPED AROUND HIS RIGHT ARM.. AND NOW IMPACT HAS AN OMOPLATA CROSSFACE OF HIS OWN… FAMOUS LAST WORDS.. BUT THIS TIME IT MIGHT BE DRAWN OUT OF JAKE SMITH HIMSELF AS IMPACT LOOKS TO END HIS CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN IN THE MOST EMBARRASSING WAY POSSIBLE.. THROUGH HIS OWN SUBMISSION.. BUT SMITH REFUSES TO LET IT END ON THOSE TERMS AS HE NOW LEANS TO THE SIDE, FORCING HIM TO RELINQUISH THE CROSSFACE AS HE NOW SNATCHES BOTH LEGS AND TWISTS AROUND…
Gavin Kirkland: ..and IT IS NOW JAKE SMITH’S TURN TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY AS HE SITS IN FOR THE WALLS OF IMPACT.. OR SHOULD I SAY THE WALLS OF JAKE.. AS HE NOW SQUATS IN AND APPLIES PRESSURE TO THE LOWER BACK WITH THE DOUBLE-LEG BOSTON CRAB! BUT IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO COUNTER THE WALLS OF IMPACT.. IT IS THE CREATOR HIMSELF.. AS HE IMPACT THRUSTS HIS HIPS UPWARDS AND USES HIS LEG POWER TO SPIN OUT AND SENDS SMITH RELEASING AND SPIRALLING THROUGH THE ROPES..
Eve: Jake Smith nearly splatters onto the ringside floor as a result of that spin out thrust.. but he uses his core to pull himself up by the third rope and lay sanctuary on the apron.. but he is not safe as right as he pulls himself up to a standing position.. IMPACT SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE SECOND ROPE.. HOVERS OVER AND DRIVES HIS FOOT INTO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD WITH THAT SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK HE IS KNOWN FOR… SMITH DROPS FORWARD INTO THE RING.. AND NOW IMPACT WAITS FOR HIM TO GET UP TO HIS FEET TO APPLY THE FINISHING TOUCHES TO WHERE HE WILL MAKE HISTORY ONCE AGAIN…
Deadprez: Imagine the headlines where Impact makes history not even six months apart from when he became a ten time world champion. Impact is about to be eleven time world champion as Jake Smith’s persistence leads him to getting up to his feet.. and he walks RIGHT INTO THE EVISCERATIO-
Gavin Kirkland: JAKE SMITH WITH THE CUTTER!! STARMAKER FROM OUT OF NOWHERE AS HE CRAWLS OVER AND DRAPES HIS ENTIRE ARM OVER THE CHEST.. JAKE SMITH RETAINS!! JAKE SMITH RETAINS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NO!!! JAKE SMITH DOES NOT RETAIN AS IMPACT POPS HIS SHOULDER UP AT THE VERY LAST SECOND!! Jake Smith is apoplectic… His nose is all scrunched up, eyes popping so much it might come out of his eye socket, and he is trembling in shock! Smith shakes it off as he is well aware of the resiliency of the challenger.. and he knows that it will only take one more cutter to take out the challenger.. and Smith knows that. He is confident in that. He grabs both of his hair, possibly stressing or methodically planning his next move on the chessboard.. and he now crouches against the second turnbuckle while Impact gingerly emerges to a vertical base in the centre of the ring…
Deadprez: Impact is barely able to get up to his feet.. and Jake Smith doesn’t wait as he connects with a flush superkick to the face… and then another superkick to the back of the head.. Impact is somehow down onto one knee after those two devastating superkicks. Jake Smith can’t believe what he is seeing as he now scrambles what to do next. Smith needs not to waste any time. Smith looks at Impact.. and then the turnbuckles.. Impact.. and then the turnbuckles.. Impact.. turnbuckles. Impact.. turnbuckles.. Impact.. turnbuckles..
Eve: AND NOW SMITH MAKES UP HIS MIND AS HE NOW RUNS UP THE TURNBUCKLES… AND HE MAKES A LEAP OF FAITH OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE BACKWARDS INTO THE DIRECTION OF THE CHALLENGER..
Deadprez: AND HE CONNECTS WITH THE SPRINGBOARD CUTTTTTTTTTTTTAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT INTERCEPTED THE SPRINGBOARD CUTTER BY ADMINISTERING A KNIFE-EDGE CHOP TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD AS HE WAS IN THE AIR!! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! THE WHOLE WORLD THOUGHT THAT JAKE SMITH HAD CONNECTED WITH THE SPRINGBOARD VARIATION OF THE STARMAKER… SMITH TOOK A HUGE RISK AND IT DID NOT PAY OFF.. AND NOW IMPACT BRINGS HIM UP TO HIS FEET… HE USUALLY BIDS HIS TIME AND WAITS FOR HIS OPPONENT TO GET UP TO HIS FEET.. BUT HE REFUSES TO EVEN LET SMITH HAVE A SECOND OF RECUPERATION BECAUSE THAT IS HOW BAD HE WANTS THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BACK..
Deadprez: AND IMPACT IS DOING SOMETHING NEW HERE.. HE TURNS HIM AROUND.. AND REELS HIM IN A RIPCORD MOVEMENT… AND DRILLS HIM WITH THE EVISCERATION..
Gavin Kirkland: NO!!! SMITH SNATCHES HIM BY BOTH OF HIS LEGS, ROLLS OVER AND PINS HIS SHOULDERS DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Deadprez: IMPACT ARCHES UPWARDS.. TWISTING AROUND AND GOING FOR A BACKSLIDE PIN.. BUT SMITH REFUSES TO GO DOWN.. AND NOW IT IS A TUG OF WAR BETWEEN THESE TWO ON WHO MUSCLES EACH OTHER MORE TO GET THE BACKSLIDE PIN.. NEITHER ELITIST REFUSES TO GO DOWN.. AND NOW IMPACT UNHOOKS HIS LEFT SHOULDER AND STARTS BRINGING BACK HIS ELBOW AND BASHING THE BACK OF SMITH’S HEAD.. AND SMITH NOW FIGHTS BACK WITH ELBOWS OF HIS OWN.. AND NOW MEN ARE JUST REELING ELBOWS BACKWARDS INTO EACH OTHER’S SKULLS UNTIL THE OTHER LETS GO OF THE BACKSLIDE..
Eve: IMPACT DUCKS UNDER ONE OF THE ELBOWS AND HOOKS IT ONE MORE TIME.. AND IMPACT USES THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE TO GET THE BACKSLIDE.. BUT SMITH USES THE MOMENTUM TO FLIP OVER HIS SHOULDERS AND ONTO HIS FEET.. AND SMITH SWINGS FOR A CLOTHESLINE..
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT DUCKS UNDER THE ARM AND HOOKS BOTH SHOULDERS.. AND TOSSES THE CHAMPION THREE-THIRDS ACROSS THE RING WITH A RELEASE HALF AND HALF SUPLEX…
( Jake Smith immediately gets up, hyping himself up and immediately charging into the confused Impact. )
Eve: WHERE IS THE CHAMPION GETTING THIS FROM!! THE ENTIRE VANCOUVER CROWD HERE IS BEHIND SMITH HERE AS HE NOW CHARGES INTO HIM!! AND SWINGS FORWARD.. BUT IMPACT DUCKS UNDER IT.. POSSIBLY GOING FOR A SECOND HALF AND HALF SUPLEX.. BUT NO!! IMPACT TWISTS HIM AROUND AND HOISTS HIM INTO A SUPLEX POSITION… SMITH TRIES TO FIGHT OUT OF IT.. BUT IT IS TO NO AVAIL..
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT TOSSES HIM FORWARD IN A GOURDBUSTER LIKE MANNER… BUT TOWARDS THE ROPES AS SMITH’S ENTIRE CHEST SLINGSHOTS OFF THE TOP ROPE..
Deadprez: AND IMPACT CATCHES HIM AS HE DROPS DOWN AND SPIKES HIM WITH A PILEDRIVER.. OH MY.. WHAT A PILEDRIVER.. ALMOST A GROUNDED VERSION OF THAT GUNSMOKE PILEDRIVER AS HE NOW ROLLS HIM OVER AND GOES FOR THE COVER!! COME ON!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Deadprez: I CAN’T BELIEVE IT.. IMPACT IS NOW AN ELEVEN TIME WORLD CHAMPION…
Gavin Kirkland: NO!! DON’T COUNT HIM OUT AS JAKE SMITH IS STILL IN THIS.. HE KICKS OUT!
Eve: THE ROGERS ARENA HAS BECOME UNGLUED!! IMPACT WITH A COMPLETELY SHOCKED EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE WITH HIS JAW DROPPED TO THE DAMN CORE OF THIS EARTH.. AND IMPACT THOUGHT THAT GUNSMOKE-ESQUE CATCH PILEDRIVER WAS ENOUGH TO PUT HIM AWAY.. AND NOW IMPACT CRAWLS BACKWARDS AND CONTEMPLATES HIS NEXT MOVE IN THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES.. MEANWHILE JAKE SMITH HAS STARTED TO REGAIN CONSCIOUSNESS AFTER BEING DROPPED ABRUPTLY ONTO HIS HEAD OUT OF NOWHERE…
Deadprez: IMPACT PULLS HIMSELF UP TO A STANDING POSITION VIA THE TOP ROPES.. AND IMPACT.. HE’S LIKE.. THE EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE.. IT IS LIKE WALKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.. AND LOOKING TO YOUR LEFT AND SEEING A PISSED OFF PITBULL READY TO MAUL ON YA’. THAT IS IMPACT RIGHT NOW.. THAT IS THE EAW HALL OF FAMER.. THAT IS THE TEN TIME WORLD CHAMPION.. WHO COULD VERY WELL BE CLOSING ON BECOMING AN ELEVEN TIME.. THAT EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE.. HE IS READY TO END THIS RIGHT HERE AND ONCE AND FOR ALL.. AND IF I WERE JAKE SMITH.. I WOULDN’T GET UP!!
Eve: AND IMPACT HAS NOT MOVED HIS EYES OFF THE RECOVERING JAKE SMITH FOR THE PAST THREE MINUTES.. AND NOW JAKE SMITH IS UP ON HIS FEET.. AND HE SLOWLY TURNS AROUND.. HE DIDN’T LISTEN TO YOUR ADVICE, DEADPREZ!
Gavin Kirkland: AND IMPACT DRILLS THE NEARLY-DECEASED JAKE SMITH WITH THE EVISCERATION.. COUNT TO A THOUSAND.. COUNT A MILLION.. BECAUSE WE GOT A NEW CHAMPION…
Deadprez: THAT DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER SENT SMITH FLYING ACROSS THE RING AS IMPACT WALKS OVER TO GET THE PIN!
**POW!!!**
( The entire crowd erupts in confusion as Impact collapses onto the ground; unconscious and blacked out. )
Gavin Kirkland, Eve, & Deadprez: WHAT IN THE?!
( The referee immediately goes over to ring the bell as he just witnessed Impact get kicked right in the jaw. )
( DING! DING! DING! )
Eve: Impact just got laid out with a devastating kick right to the jaw right as he was about to secure the pin and make history..
Gavin Kirkland: That wasn’t just a kick, Eve… THAT WAS A SUPERKICK!
( The camera focuses on the attacker who is in a black hoodie and a ski mask. The unknown individual stands over an unconscious Impact and Jake Smith as he starts to take off his ski mask. )
…
…..
……..
………..
Eve: IT IS CHRIS ELITE!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT IS CHRIS ELITE, ALRIGHT.. AND THAT WASN’T JUST A SUPERKICK.. THAT WAS A BOX OFFICE SMASH! THE EAW HALL OF FAMER IS BACK IN THE SQUARED CIRCLE..
Deadprez: AND HE JUST THREW THIS ENTIRE MATCH OUT OF THE BOOK.. SUPER KICKING IMPACT FROM OUT OF NOWHERE.. AWARDING HIM THE DQ FINISH… BUT THAT DOESN’T MATTER.. BECAUSE JAKE WASN’T PINNED OR SUBMITTED.. AND HIS FORMER TAG TEAM CHAMPION OF A PARTNER WALKS OUT OF VANCOUVER STILL THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION..
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen.. HERE IS YOUR WINNER DUE TO DISQUALFICATIION.. IMPPPACT!!!!! HOWEVER… STILL YOUR EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… JAKEEE SMITH!!!!
( Chris Elite smirks at the announcement, almost scoffing under his breath at the crowd’s reaction and especially the jaw-dropped expressions of the entire front row. )
Eve: We knew Jake Smith and Chris Elite were not on good terms.. especially when their dissension led to their match at No Regards.. which Jake Smith did win.. and we haven’t seen Chris Elite since November when he lost to Jack Ripley.. What in the world is Chris Elite doing here.. and why did he cost Impact the world championship? So many questions to be asked.. and I apologise for the plug.. but we will have to see next Saturday night because there will be hell to be paid!
( He takes one glance at the two bodies under him, looking back up to ear-deafening boos and exits the ring. Jake Smith who has welts after the number of chops he took to his chest—he is still struggling to get up to his feet after that facebreaker.. Meanwhile, Impact is still knocked out from that Box Office Smash from the returning Chris Elite. Referees begin to check on both men. Elite makes his walk up the ramp, not looking back keeping his smirk intact before it goes to commercial break. )
(King of Elite returns and for the final time tonight, a match graphic flashes across the screen.)
(The scene returns to ringside and the camera gets a close up of the King of Elite crown. It has been sat on a podium at ringside, and in the ring, is Voltage ring announcer, Bella Braxton.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Bella Braxton: AND IT’S THE KING OF ELITE FINALS!!!!
(‘Runnin’ by 21 Savage & Metro Boomin begins to play.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST… RESIDING IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA… HE IS ‘THE ANSWER’ BRONSON DANIELS!
(The ovation for Bronson is loud, but when he steps out onto the stage, the crowd raises its collective voice. Bronson wears his usual attire but it has been done in turquoise and black to match the Vancouver Grizzlies basketball jersey he wears. Bronson hypes the crowd up as he begins to make his way to the ring.)
Stew-O: Here comes Friday Night Dynasty’s representative for King of Elite! Bronson Daniels has basically cemented himself as a premiere main eventer this season and no doubt he looks to win the biggest title of his career here tonight.
Gavin Kirkland: He faces stiff competition if you want my opinion, but I can’t even deny that Bronson has been on fire since returning. He’s come extremely close to winning the World Heavyweight Championship this season and capturing the crown can get him one step closer to another shot tonight.
(Once Bronson is in the ring, his music fades out. It is replaced by ‘You Know My Name’ by Chris Cornell. Once again the crowd is pumped because the next man out is also a fan favorite.)
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT… SIMPLY FROM NEW YORK… HE IS ‘THE NEXT LEVEL’ ADAM LUCAS!
Persephone: Gawd his hair looks like shit.
Gavin Kirkland: :mjlol: Be that as it may, Adam comes in with perhaps the most to gain from this match. Since Kennedy Street, who is sexy as hell by the way, took over on Showdown, Adam has found himself the subject of her ire. She has done what she can to make Adam’s life a living hell, including screwing him out of an Elimination Chamber win back at Road to Redemption.
(Adam looks at Bronson and gives him a nod as he gets into the ring. He begins to prepare for the match as his music fades. ‘Cold War’ by Hans Zimmer begins to play and needless to say, this doesn’t yield a positive reaction from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: AND THEIR OPPONENT… FROM THE DEAD SEA IN ISRAEL… HE IS ‘THE MESSIAH’ DRAKE KING!
(Drake walks out with a shit-eating grin on his face and he is wearing an extremely obnoxious gold ring attire and black robe made of Swarovski crystals and feathers. Sadly, he looks every bit like the king he is trying to become and he oozes arrogance.)
Persephone: Well there’s the bozo that is representing Voltage, as if anyone wanted to see him here. Drake’s path to the King of Elite finals has been shrouded in controversy, but try telling him that.
Stew-O: I think I speak for every single person inside this building tonight when I say that we don’t want Drake King to become King of Elite.
(Stew was definitely speaking for everyone and once Drake was in the ring, he had the audacity to take a bow and then take his time removing his ridiculous robe. Once he was done, he looked at his competitors and just rolled his eyes.)
(The referee called for the bell.)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: There’s the bell! Our main event is about to commence!
(The sounds of the crowd only amplified things. For Adam Lucas and Bronson Daniels, this was the biggest opportunity of their careers. Neither man was a stranger to the world championship scene of their respective brands. Both had faced immense heartbreak after each crushing loss. If either of them were to win this match, they would gain something that could never be taken from them. They would have the title of ‘King of Elite.’ A world title match would come their way, on their terms thanks to the crown, which is something neither man took for granted, their histories considered. They also knew it was an entirely different story for their other opponent.)
Persephone: Oh yes. Thrilling! Absolute edge-of-your seat entertainment! Guys! They are all… CIRCLING ONE ANOTHER 🤪!!!!
(The sarcasm was evident in Persephone’s voice, but for those inside of the Rogers Arena, the tension was palpable. Drake King was smiling like a Cheshire cat, and the look in his eyes only added to the story that was about to be told; for he was one of the most decorated, revered, and evil men in the land of Elite. He was considered by most to be the favorite in this match. Drake was sizing up Adam and Bronson – the predator and his prey. He looked bone-chillingly sadistic at the moment and even rubbed his hands together.)
(That right there, that movement by Drake, caused Adam to stop. It dawned on him that this was not going to be a typical match and a far different experience than the one he had last year at this very event. Drake was not Andre Walker or Chris Elite, and when Bronson looked at him, Adam knew that Bronson felt it too. The unspoken words between the two men were loud and clear. Bronson even turned his attention back to Drake with a slight smirk on his face.)
Drake King: (off-mic) What’s funny?
(Bronson called the shot. He gave a slight nod to Adam. Adam’s lips twisted into a little grin.)
(Together, they pounced.)
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM LUCAS AND BRONSON DANIELS RUSH DRAKE KING AND BACK HIM INTO THE CORNER! BRONSON WITH PUNCHES TO THE STOMACH WHILE ADAM SHOVES HIS FOOT UNDER DRAKE’S CHIN TO CHOKE HIM!
Stew-O: ADAM RELEASES THE CHOKE AND NAILS DRAKE IN THE STOMACH WITH HIS KNEE! BRONSON SPRINTS AROUND THE RING AND COMES FLYING BACK AT DRAKE!!! ‘BATMAN PUNCH’!
Persephone: SUPERMAN BETTER!
Gavin Kirkland: DRAKE SLUMPS TO THE GROUND BUT ADAM JERKS HIM UP BY THE HAIR AND DRAGS HIM TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! HIP TOSS TRANSITIONED INTO A CRADLE POWERDRIVER! ADAM CALLS THAT COMBO ‘HONOR BOMB’ AND HE IS QUICK TO PULL DRAKE INTO THE ‘LUCAS LOCK’!
Stew-O: DRAKE IS REACHING FOR THE ROPES BUT KEEP YOUR EYES ON BRONSON! HE’S GONE TO THE CORNER AND LEAPS ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! THE CROWD HOLDS THEIR BREATH AS AIR-BRONSON FLIES!
Persephone: HE COMES CRASHING DOWN ON THE BACK OF DRAKE’S NECK WITH A GLORIOUS LEG DROP! ADAM RELEASES THE SHARPSHOOTER AND YANKS DRAKE UP! BRONSON AND ADAM SEND DRAKE INTO THE ROPES AND CATCH HIM ON THE REBOUND WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE! THEY PICK UP DRAKE AND SEND HIM FLYING OUT OF THE RING!
(The crowd roars as Adam and Bronson face one another with nearly identical grins. Bronson extends his hand and Adam gives it a shake.)
Stew-O: Temporary alliance, or will these two continue to work together to neutralize the threat Drake King poses? Time will tell but it looks like Bronson and Adam are locking up right now. There’s no denying the heart, passion, and toughness of these two men, and either one would make a wonderful King of Elite in my opinion, but you have to wonder which one wants it more?
Persephone: Is there really such a thing as who wants it more? Whether they present it to us or not, both of them are egotistical as fuck and desperate to have the crown in their hands.
Gavin Kirkland: I think Adam may want this more, if you want my opinion. Since Kennedy Street took over Showdown, she has made it her mission to make Adam’s life absolute hell.
Persephone: Yawn. Who fucking cares? Don’t you think Bronson is tired of being a loser too? And he can’t blame it on anyone screwing him over. He’s just been a habitual failure :mjlol:
Stew-O: I’m not going to dignify that with a response, but right now, Bronson does have the upper-hand. He’s backed Adam into the corner and is unloading on him with several definitive rights and lefts!
Gavin Kirkland: But Adam doesn’t seem to be deterred! He reverses their positions and now it’s Bronson being peppered with a series of stiff looking punches! Bronson muscles Adam back, but Adam looks for a corner clothesline! Bronson ducks, slips behind Adam, and tries for a German suplex! Adam catches him with a back elbow to break the hold, grabs Bronson’s arm, and takes him down with an arm drag! Adam maintains control of the arm and puts some extra pressure on Bronson’s shoulder!
Stew-O: Bronson grits his teeth but he is able to fight through the pain! He gets back to his feet, kicks Adam in the right knee, and is able to break free! Bronson rushes the ropes and Adam is taken down with a clothesline! Leaping single foot stomp lands right on Adam’s face and Bronson goes for a quick cover!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Persephone: ADAM REVERSES INTO A CRUCIFIX STYLE PIN!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTT-
Gavin Kirkland: BRONSON KICKS OUT! He’s back on his feet and once again he runs for the ropes!
Stew-O: FACE-PLANT! FROM THE OUTSIDE, DRAKE GRABBED BRONSON’S LEGS AND BRINGS HIM DOWN! Drake jerks Bronson out of the ring and levels him several forearm shots! Bronson tries to fight back but Drake catches him with a thumb to the eye and he sends Bronson shoulder first into the ring steps! Bronson is down!
Gavin Kirkland: SUICIDE DIVE FROM ADAM LUCAS! DRAKE KING IS DOWN NOW AND ADAM IS GOING TO TOWN ON HIM! RIGHTS AND LEFTS CONNECT WITH THE SIDE OF DRAKE’S HEAD AND WITH HIS FACE! DRAKE IS COVERING UP IN AN ATTEMPT TO DEFEND HIMSELF BUT ADAM ISN’T LETTING UP!
Persephone: Drake finally kicks Adam off of him and he is grabbing for the ring skirt! He tries to pull himself up but Adam comes firing back with a superkick! Drake manages to duck and ADAM NAILS BRONSON!
Stew-O: NO! Bronson was able to catch Adam’s foot and he snaps him down to the ground! Bronson puts the boots to Adam, but he gets clobbered from behind by Drake! Drake goes to shove Adam into the guardrail, but Bronson shows off his agility by leaping up and landing on top of the guardrail!
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson uses the guardrail as a springboard!!!! TWISTING ‘BATMAN PUNCH’!!!!!
Persephone: :damn: DOES NOT CONNECT! ADAM LUCAS JUST KNOCKED HIM RIGHT OUT OF THE AIR WITH A WELL-TIMED DROP KICK!
Stew-O: JUMPING KNEE STRIKE!!! DRAKE CONNECTS RIGHT UNDER ADAM’S CHIN! ADAM STAGGERS BACK AND DRAKE PUNCTUATES THE STRIKE WITH A LARIAT THAT TURNS ADAM LUCAS INSIDE OUT! DRAKE RIPS ADAM FROM THE GROUND BY THE HAIR AND SLAMS HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST!
Persephone: HE PULLS BRONSON UP AND BOUNCES HIS FACE OFF THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING! DRAKE ROLLS BRONSON INTO THE RING AND GOES FOR A COVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TT-
Gavin Kirkland: SHOULDER UP!
Persephone: Drake pulls Bronson into a headlock, but Bronson’s not having it! Both losers are back to their feet now and Bronson elbows his way free!
Stew-O: Bronson sneaks behind Drake, locks the waist, and drives the back of Drake’s head into the mat with a German suplex! QUICK COVER BY BRONSON!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: KICK OUT AT ONE!
Persephone: BRONSON DOESN’T WASTE ANY TIME GETTING BACK TO HIS FEET! HE’S GOT DRAKE UP AS WELL AND PLANTS HIM IN THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH A STANDARD, BORING, ANNOYING SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson waits for Drake to sit up and he rebounds off the ropes! RUNNING DROPKICK! BUT LOOK! ADAM LUCAS IS BACK ON THE APRON AND HE JUMPS ON THE ROPES! ADAM IS LOOKING TO TAKE A RISK AS HE SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES!!!!
Stew-O: RKO! RKO! BRONSON JUST CAUGHT ADAM IN THE AIR WITH THE RKO! ADAM LUCAS IS SPRAWLED OUT ON THE MAT AND BRONSON THROWS HIMSELF ON TOP OF ADAM FOR THE COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRE-
Gavin Kirkland: NOPE! That was never going to be enough to keep a competitor like Adam Lucas down!
(Gavin’s words rang true. Even though the competitors inside the ring couldn’t hear the commentary team, Bronson Daniels already knew it was going to take more than a simple move to put someone away in this match. His two opponents had their reasons for wanting to win, and of course Bronson knew they would both do whatever they had to do in order to accomplish that. But this wasn’t about them, at least that’s how Bronson was viewing this match. This was about him, his journey, and getting the one thing he desired most; a world championship.)
(The Dynasty Elitist glanced at Adam, who had rolled over and was looking to get back up, and then he fixed his steely gaze on Drake. Drake had made his way into the corner and was sitting up against the turnbuckles. He was glaring at Bronson and a lesser man would have shrunk away from a look that was full of nothing but contempt. Not Bronson, though. He rushed towards Drake, who scrambled to his feet!)
Persephone: DRAKE CATCHES BRONSON IN THE JAW WITH HIS FEET! BRONSON STAGGERS BACK AND DRAKE IS ON THE SECOND ROPE! DOUBLE AX-HANDLE TO THE BACK TAKES BRONSON DOWN! DRAKE IS STOMPING ON BRONSON NOW BUT BRONSON QUICKLY ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! HE SLIPS TO THE APRON OF THE RING AND ADAM JUST GOT DRAKE FROM BEHIND!
Stew-O: ADAM WITH A FLURRY OF STIFF RIGHT HANDS TO DRAKE! DRAKE IS FIGHTING BACK! DRAKE IS STRIKING ADAM WITH MULTIPLE SHOTS TO THE RIB CAGE!
Gavin Kirkland: FLYING CROSSBODY!!!! BRONSON JUST TOOK OUT DRAKE AND ADAM! BRONSON GRABS ADAM! IRISH WHIP TO THE CORNER! HE RACES AROUND THE RING AND CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING FACEWASH KICK! HE SPRINTS TO DRAKE, WHO ATTEMPTS A CLOTHESLINE, BUT BRONSON DUCKS UNDERNEATH AND BRINGS DRAKE DOWN WITH A SWINGING NECKBREAKER!
Persephone: ADAM TRIES TO GET BRONSON FROM BEHIND BUT BRONSON IS READY FOR IT! SPINNING BACK FIST CONNECTS WITH ADAM’S FACE! BRONSON FOLLOWS UP WITH ‘CHROME HEART TAGS’!!! THE SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK CONNECTS ON ADAM LUCAS AND BRONSON DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRR-
Stew-O: ADAM KICKS OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson keeps Adam grounded with a headlock, looking to finally slow down the pace. These three have been going full throttle since the opening bell, and this could be a smart move.
Persephone: Or it could be stupid considering Drake just broke the headlock with a kick to the back of Bronson’s head.
Gavin Kirkland: Drake, with two handfuls of hair, throws Bronson across the ring! Drake begins stomping away on Adam, while Bronson collects himself in the corner! Drake has Adam Lucas and nails him with a huge European uppercut! Adam tries to retaliate with a right hand, but Drake blocks it, and knees Adam in the gut! Drake hooks the arms and looks to set Adam up for ‘Ascension’ but here comes Bronson!!!!
Stew-O: SPRINGBOARD VERSION OF ‘CHROME HEARTS TAG’!!! DRAKE ROLLS TO THE APRON AND RIGHT OUT OF THE RING! HE HITS THE GROUND AND I THINK BRONSON IS GOING TO FOLLOW HIM! BRONSON BACKS UP AND TAKES A RUNNING LEAP OVER THE TOP ROPE! HOLY SMOKES! HIS AGILITY IS AMAZING AND HE LANDS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRAKE’S CHEST WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!
Persephone: Amazing? Rex could leap over a literal 20-foot building and do so with his eyes closed.
Gavin Kirkland: Oop! Business is picking up as Bronson is digging under the ring! The crowd is going nuts as he begins to pull out various objects to use as weapons!
Persephone: Gawd, I have spent all season trying to be a good little commentator for these Disney executives. I’m not going to pretend anymore or censor myself. LETS SEE SOME BLOOD!!!!
Stew-O: :whoa:! Calm down!
Persephone: NO! BRONSON HAS PULLED OUT KENDO STICKS, TRASH CANS, TABLES, CHAIRS, AND WHAT THE HECK IS THAT IN HIS HAND???
(The object in Bronson’s hand is a curious one, and the crowd seems eager to see him use it. For someone who is creative and innovative, it is the perfect weapon.)
Gavin Kirkland: That… that looks like an oversized, very large, ceramic vase.
Persephone: I wonder who’s wedding reception is missing a centerpiece?
Stew-O: No time to think about that, I guess, because Bronson is heading right for Drake! BRONSON SMASHES THE VASE OVER DRAKE’S HEAD BUT IT DOESN’T BREAK!
Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) :oh:
Gavin Kirkland: HE SLAMS IT INTO DRAKE’S FACE BUT IT STILL DOESN’T BREAK!
Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) :francis:
(As Drake dropped to his knees and clutched his face, Bronson looked at the vase.)
Bronson Daniels: 🤔… 💡!!!!!
Persephone: BRONSON JUST SHOVED DRAKE’S HEAD INTO THE VASE AND HE PULLS HIM UP! OH MY GAWD! HE’S GOT HIM INTO POSITION AND LIFTS HIM UP IN THE AIR! BRONSON SPINS AROUND AND POWERSLAMS DRAKE! THE BACK OF HIS HEAD CAUGHT THE RING STEPS, SHATTERING THE CERAMIC VASE, AND SENDING PIECES OF HIT FLYING EVERYWHERE! DRAKE IS ROLLING AROUND ON THE GROUND, HOLDING HIS HEAD, AND I THINK I SEE BLOOD! I REPEAT! I THINK I SEE BLOOD!
Gavin Kirkland: :lupe! The back of Drake’s head does seem to be bleeding and Bronson looks pretty pleased at the damage he’s done! He kicks Drake onto his stomach and begins stomping the hell out of the back of Drake’s head!!!!
CRACK!!!!!
(Kendo stick in hand, Adam had started to wail away on Bronson Daniels, happy to beat him like he was nothing more than a government mule. In Bronson’s haste to take Drake down and keep him there, he had taken his eyes off of the man he’d left inside the ring. Adam Lucas was not the type of competitor you turned your back on. He was far too skilled, not to mention eager and opportunistic, and now, he was making Bronson pay.)
Stew-O: ADAM BREAKS THE KENDO STICK IN HALF ON A FINAL SHOT TO BRONSON’S BACK! HE TAKES THE FORMER INTERWIRE CHAMPION BY THE HAIR AND THROWS HIM HEADFIRST INTO THE RING STEPS! BRONSON IS DOWN BESIDE DRAKE AND ADAM IS THE ONLY MAN STANDING!
Persephone: HE PUTS THE BOOTS TO BOTH MEN BEFORE SETTLING ON DRAKE! ADAM PICKS THE FORMER TWO-TIME WORLD CHAMPION UP AND ROLLS HIM BACK INTO THE RING! DRAKE ATTEMPTS TO ROLL RIGHT BACK OUT, BUT ADAM STOPS HIM WITH A BRUTAL KICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: Adam knows he has to be aggressive here tonight if he wants to win this match and take fate into his own hands. Back at Road to Redemption, his chance to win the Answers World Championship was unceremoniously taken from him by the actions of Kennedy Street. While this won’t guarantee Adam an Answers World Championship win, it gets him a hell of a lot closer to that goal, and the ability to cash in for a match at any time.
Persephone: Like maybe away from Showdown and Kennedy?
Gavin Kirkland: Exactly!
Persephone: That’s too bad because Adam sucks and Kennedy is great!
Gavin Kirkland: :francis:
Stew-O: ADAM DRAGS DRAKE AWAY FROM THE ROPES ONLY TO DEADLIFT HIM UP BY THE WAIST! HE THROWS DRAKE OVERHEAD WITH A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX AND THE BACK OF DRAKE’S HEAD SLAMS AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES!
Persephone: DRAKE CLUTCHES THE BACK OF HIS HEAD BUT ADAM WITH A RUNNING, SLIDING DROP KICK! HE PULLS DRAKE UP AND THERE’S AN IRISH WHIP ACROSS THE RING! ADAM GETS A RUNNING START AND LANDS ON DRAKE WITH HIS VERSION OF THE STINGER SPLASH!
Gavin Kirkland: Adam backs off and Drake staggers out of the corner! Drake is stumbling around and that gives Adam a huge opening! ADAM WITH A SPRINGBOARD FOREARM! DRAKE IS DOWN! ADAM GOES FOR THE COVER!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHH-
Persephone: SATAN KICKS OUT!
Stew-O: BRONSON DANIELS JUST SLAMMED A TRASH CAN DOWN ON ADAM!
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM LOOKS LIKE HE BARELY FELT IT! HE LEAPS TO HIS FEET AND KNOCKS THE TRASH CAN INTO BRONSON THANKS TO A STANDING DROP KICK! BRONSON QUICKLY REGAINS HIS FOOTING, BUT ADAM LUCAS HAS THE TRASH CAN NOW! HE BASHES IT OVER BRONSON’S HEAD AND WHIPS HIM INTO THE ROPES! BIG BOOT TO THE FACE TAKES DOWN BRONSON!
Persephone: ADAM BEGINS BEATING BRONSON WITH THE TRASH CAN AND DOESN’T STOP UNTIL IT’S COMPLETELY DENTED UP!
Stew-O: DRAKE TRIES TO GET BACK INTO THE MIX BUT ADAM SLAMS THE TRASH CAN INTO HIS FACE! HE TOSSES IT DOWN, GRABS DRAKE, AND SUPLEXES HIM DOWN ON TOP OF BRONSON! ADAM GRABS THE TRASH CAN AND HE IS GOING TO THE TOP ROPE! ADAM ISN’T KNOWN FOR TAKING RISKS, BUT THIS IS THE KING OF ELITE FINALS! HE KNOWS HE HAS TO GO FOR BROKE!
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM GRIPS THE TRASH CAN TO HIS CHEST AND DOESN’T HESITATE TO LAUNCH HIMSELF FROM THE TOP! ADAM AND THE METAL TRASH CAN LAND ON TOP OF DRAKE, WHICH CRUSHES BRONSON, WHO’S ON THE BOTTOM!
Persephone: But was that really smart, though? The idiot hurt himself in the process and he can’t even make the cover!
(Persephone was right about Adam being unable to make the cover at that particular moment. There’s a reason they’re called ‘high risk’ spots. They take something out of everyone, including the perpetrator. In Adam’s head, he had no choice though. He had come so close last year to winning this very match and the agony of losing it had been heartbreaking. It was now or never for Adam Lucas, and deep down he knew that he likely wouldn’t have a chance like this again.)
OOONNNEEE!!!
Stew-O: HOLD ON! LOOK AT THE REFEREE! HE’S MAKING THE COUNT BECAUSE DRAKE IS ON TOP OF BRONSON AND DRAKE’S SHOULDERS AREN’T DOWN!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM SEES WHAT’S GOING ON AND HE MAKES A LEAP TOWARDS DRAKE AND BRONSON TO BREAK UP THE PIN!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEE!!!!!
Persephone: ADAM JUST SAVED THE MATCH FOR HIMSELF!!!!
Stew-O: I think Adam just saw the King of Elite crown flash before his eyes. Drake King just damn near won the thing.
Gavin Kirkland: Adam looks more than relieved right now as he pushes himself back up. Drake is back to his feet as the two men lock up, jostling back and forth for position. It’s Drake who manages to push Adam back into the corner, but Adam blocks Drake from leveling him with a forearm and lands a solid right hand to the side of Drake’s head! Adam follows up with a huge European style uppercut and he knees Drake in the gut! Adam tosses Drake into the corner and begins to pepper him with rights and lefts!
Persephone: Those body shots are hitting their mark and Adam switches to stomps until he gets Drake into a sitting position! Adam’s knee connects with Drake’s face, and now he pulls Drake from the corner by the hair! Adam drags Drake to the center of the ring and it looks like he’s attempting to set Drake up for ‘Level Up’!
Stew-O: Adam hoists Drake in the air BUT DRAKE FLIPS OVER HIM AND PULLS HIM DOWN FOR A PIN!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM KICKS OUT!!! Both men scramble to their feet and collide with one another! Adam quickly gains the advantage and sends Drake crashing to the mat with a nice looking spine buster! He follows up with a leg drop and goes for the cover!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: Another kick out by Drake!
Stew-O: Adam slips to the outside of the ring and he is looking for a weapon! Drake is right on his heels and the two men are exchanging punches right here in front of us! Drake finally nails Adam with a massive forearm and sends him crashing into the guardrails! Drake storms over to the timekeeper’s area and he is looking for a chair!
Gavin Kirkland: Steel chair in hand, DRAKE HEADS TO ADAM!
Persephone: ADAM MOVES AND THE CHAIR SLAMS INTO THE GUARDRAIL! DRAKE WHIRLS AROUND, SWINGING THE CHAIR, BUT ADAM KICKS IT RIGHT OUT OF HIS HANDS!
Stew-O: HOLY HELL! BRONSON DANIELS OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A SPRINGBOARD CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS TO THE OUTSIDE!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: DRAKE DIVES OUT OF THE WAY AND BRONSON CRASHES DOWN ON TOP OF ADAM! DRAKE IS THE ONLY MAN STANDING AT THE MOMENT!
(As Drake surveyed the carnage, an evil smile crossed his face. Out of instinct, he touched the back of his head, where it had split, but the blood had already clotted. For whatever reason, this seemed to enrage him. It served as a stark reminder of the sheer hypocrisy of the Disney takeover. EAW hadn’t changed. It would never change. It was a glorified cesspool of miscreants and criminals, and he hated it. He hated everything about it. Looking over at Bronson and Adam, Drake saw red.)
Drake King: (off-mic) GET UP!
(He had turned his attention towards the Chinese broadcasters booth and started clearing it off. The Chinese announce team quickly scrambled, screaming into their headsets about how their government shouldn’t have released spy balloons :mjgrin: or perhaps it was something else about how crazy Drake looked at the moment)
Gavin Kirkland: :lupe: This guy has a few screws loose, doesn’t he?
Persephone: I mean, at least he’s making this shi- this MATCH interesting! Drake totally wants to be King of Elite.
Stew-O: Drake King doesn’t care one iota about the title of ‘King of Elite’. He just wants to feed his ego by keeping Adam Lucas and Bronson Daniels away from the crown.
Persephone: Semantics. Either way, Drake is dragging Adam and Bronson to the table! He scoops Bronson up first and lays him down! Adam is next, placed directly on top of Bronson! Drake grabs a chair and he begins beating Adam Lucas! Those chair shots are breaking Adam’s face! He’s already ugly but Drake is trying to make it worse!
Gavin Kirkland: That chair has been dented in half and Drake seems to be satisfied with the damage he’s done. He’s back to the ring now and up on the apron, what’s he got in mind, I wonder?
(There wasn’t a lot going on upstairs for Drake. He had lost his mind years ago thanks to The Visual Prophet. Since that infamous night, Drake hadn’t been the same, and at the moment, the only thing he wanted to do was punish his fellow King of Elite finalists.)
Stew-O: :lupe: High risk, high reward, I guess. Drake isn’t necessarily someone who is known for taking risks like this. He’s perched on the top rope and he is just staring down at Adam and Bronson, who haven’t moved from the table. Adam’s bleeding from the nose now, thanks to those chair shots, and Drake definitely seems pleased by that.
Gavin Kirkland: The crowd is booing the hell out of Drake as he clasps his hands in a prayer formation. This man doesn’t believe in God. Why is he praying?
Persephone: That idiot thinks he is God. He is praying to himself, Gavin.
(Drake is indeed praying to himself. After he took the time to bless himself – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Drake – he launched himself in the air.)
Stew-O: DRAKE WITH AN INVERTED VERSION OF THE PHOENIX SPLASH! HE LANDS RIGHT ON TOP OF ADAM AND BRONSON, AND THE CHINESE BROADCAST BOOTH HAS BEEN BROKEN IN HALF!
Chinese Broadcaster: Yúchǔn dì měiguó rén. Wǒ xīwàng tāmen ránshāo!!
Gavin Kirkland: DRAKE IS SITTING UP AND LOOK AT HIS FACE! HE LOOKS COMPLETELY BLANK! DRAKE IS GRABBING ADAM AND DRAGGING HIM OUT OF THE RUBBLE! ADAM IS BARELY CONSCIOUS AT THE MOMENT BUT THAT DOESN’T SEEM TO PHASE DRAKE! HE IS SLAMMING ADAM’S FACE INTO THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING!
Persephone: ADAM SLUMPS TO THE GROUND AND DRAKE IS GOING TO BULLY BRONSON NOW! HE THROWS BRONSON INTO THE BARRICADES AND IS VIOLENTLY STOMPING ON HIM!
Stew-O: The referee is practically begging Drake to get back in the ring, but this is being contested under triple threat rules. There can’t be any count outs and there’s really nothing that can stop Drake from inflicting as much punishment as he wants on his two opponents.
Persephone: https://media.tenor.com/R5gi51Vxx_8AAAAd/jack-nicholson-yes.gif
Gavin Kirkland: DRAKE JUST THROWS BRONSON INTO THE LED RINGPOST AND BRONSON IS ON THE GROUND NOW! MORE STOMPS TO THE FACE AND CHEST! DRAKE HAS LITERALLY LOST IT! HE HAS BRONSON BY THE HAIR AND HE HOISTS HIM UP IN THE AIR! POWERBOMB ONTO THE RING APRON!
Stew-O: BUT HE DOESN’T LET GO! HE POWERBOMBS BRONSON ONTO THE APRON THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE CARELESSLY TOSSING HIM INTO THE RING STEPS! DRAKE GRABS ADAM AND ROLLS HIM INTO THE RING!
Persephone: :oh: HE’S HOOKED ADAM’S ARMS IN THE ROPES! HE’S TRAPPED ADAM LUCAS! HOLY SHI- SHOOT! HOLY SHOOT! DRAKE JUST DESTROYED A TRAPPED ADAM LUCAS WITH ‘THE GUILLOTINE’! THE SICK KICK JUST SNAPPED ADAM’S HEAD BACK AND LOOK AT DRAKE! HE’S NOT HAPPY WITH JUST ONE! A SECOND ‘GUILLOTINE’ CONNECTS! AND A THIRD! HE IS GOING TO BREAK THIS MAN’S NECK AND I AM FUC- FREAKING HERE FOR IT! :blessed:
Gavin Kirkland: This is not good. This isn’t good at all. Adam Lucas could be seriously hurt and Drake doesn’t have a single bit of remorse. Drake jerks Adam out of the ropes and throws him down in the middle of the ring. Not like this :noah:! Poor Adam!
Stew-O: The referee can count to a thousand. Adam Lucas isn’t moving and it looks like Drake King is going to win this match.
(Rather lazily, Drake draped himself over Adam, not even bothering to hook the leg. The match was done. It was over. Everyone inside the Rogers Arena knew that Adam Lucas couldn’t kick out.)
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Stew-O: :damn: IT’S NOT OVER! IT’S NOT OVER! FROM THE DEAD, BRONSON DANIELS GOT BACK IN THE RING AND BROKE UP THE COVER!!! HOW IN THE WORLD WAS HE ABLE TO GET UP AND MAKE IT INTO THE RING IN TIME???
Drake King: (off-mic) :francis: You shouldn’t have done that.
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson looks like he’s been put through Hell and Drake is about to make his life worse! He nails Bronson in the face with a big boot and oh no. Oh no. He’s tying Bronson up in the ropes and is about to do to him what he did to Adam!
Persephone: ‘GUILLOTINE’ PARTY!!!! BRONSON EATS MULTIPLE SICK KICKS RIGHT TO THE FACE AND HE’S DONE!
Stew-O: AND THERE’S A FIFTH ONE JUST BECAUSE! BRONSON IS KNOCKED COMPLETELY OUT AND DRAKE IS BRINGING HIM TO THE CENTER OF THE RING FOR THE COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM LIVES! ADAM LIVES! HE BROKE UP THE PIN!
Drake King: (off-mic) STUPID IDIOTS! STOP BREAKING UP PINS!!!
(Drake’s face twisted into an ugly sneer as Adam rolled to the side. Breaking up that pin had taken what little energy Adam had left, but frustration was now coursing through Drake’s veins. He slammed his hand down on the mat and grabbed at his hair.)
Persephone: Hey guys. I think Drake is kinda angry right now!
Gavin Kirkland: You don’t say!
(The crowd, who had been overjoyed to see Adam break up the near fall, were now on their feet. They were attempting to rouse both Adam and Bronson up and into the match because no one inside that arena wanted to see Drake win this match. Unfortunately, he was the only man standing at that moment and he was far from happy that he had this match won twice, only to have the count stopped.)
Stew-O: I think Drake is ready to call it a day with this match. He pulls Bronson over to Adam, and now he has both men by the hair.
Gavin Kirkland: Drake forced them up but look! Bronson and Adam both hit Drake with simultaneous forearm shots! That staggers Drake but he manages to keep his grip on both men! They slam their forearms into Drake again and this time they break free! Adam and Bronson grab Drake by the arms and whip him into the ropes! Double clothesline takes down Drake, but he shoots back to his feet! He tries for a double clothesline takedown of his own but Bronson and Adam duck!
Stew-O: SIMULTANEOUS SPINNING BACK FISTS CONNECT! THEY HAVE TAKEN DOWN DRAKE! Bronson and Adam look at one another and both are trying to catch their breath! That allows Drake to get himself right back into this but Adam connects with a boot to the face! Drake stumbles towards Bronson who pokes him in the eyes and nails him with an uppercut! Adam grabs Drake and throws him out of the ring, but there goes the alliance! Bronson kicks Adam in the gut and throws him shoulder-first into the ring post!
Persephone: Adam rolls onto the apron but now that he’s back in this match, he’s not going to let a stinging shoulder stop him. He nails an incoming Bronson with a forearm and leaps on the ropes! Bronson fires back with a step-up Enziguri that knocks Adam off the top rope! Adam lands on his throat and crashes to the ground, but Drake is back up on the apron now!
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson heads for Drake, but Drake darts between the ropes and catches Bronson in the gut with his shoulder! Bronson shakes it off and headbutts Drake right off the apron!
Stew-O: While Bronson was tied up with Drake, Adam got back in the ring! He clubs Bronson from behind and grabs him by the neck! Adam tries for a swinging neckbreaker, but Bronson catches him with an elbow and quickly lifts Adam up! Adam drives his elbow into the top of Bronson’s head and gets his feet back on the mat! He swings wildly, looking to connect with a right hand, but Adam ducks, slips behind Bronson, and grabs him by the waist! Bronson cracks Adam in the nose with a headbutt, and immediately Adam begins bleeding again. Drake took a chair to his face earlier in the match and did a lot of damage.
Persephone: What matters is Bronson is able to free himself from Adam and he wrestles him to the ground! Bronson is looking to hook the arm and go for a crossface, but Adam is able to hook his foot on the ropes and use that to pull himself away from Adam!
Gavin Kirkland: Drake slips back in and nails Adam with a basement style dropkick! That forces Adam into the ropes, and allows Bronson to slip to the outside! Drake slams his foot against the side of Adam’s head and forces it into the ringpost! He grabs the ropes to add some extra pressure but look at Bronson!
Stew-O: BRONSON DANIELS HAS THE RING BELL AND HE SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING! HE SMASHES IT INTO THE BACK OF DRAKE’S HEAD AND GOES FOR THE COVER!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRR-
Persephone: DRAKE GETS HIS SHOULDER UP!
Stew-O: BRONSON GRABS THAT ARM AND ROLLS OVER, LOCKING DRAKE IN A FUJIWARA ARMBAR! DRAKE, WHO’S NOW BLEEDING AGAIN FROM THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, CRIES OUT AND REACHES FOR THE ROPES, BUT THAT CAUSES BRONSON TO APPLY EVEN MORE PRESSURE! HE IS LOOKING TO BREAK DRAKE’S ARM HERE AND DRAKE KNOWS THAT!
Persephone: There’s also no rope breaks in this :umad:! I say… BREAK HIS DAMN ARM!
Gavin Kirkland: You can see the pain etched all over Drake’s face as blood begins to pool on the mat! Bronson pulls back on the arm and look at Drake’s other hand! He is raising it up like he is about to tap out!!!!
Stew-O: ‘TJD’!!!! ADAM LUCAS TAKING A PAGE OUT OF HIS WIFE’S PLAYBOOK WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF BRONSON’S HEAD! THE SUBMISSION ON DRAKE KING IS BROKEN BUT ADAM IS QUICK TO CAPITALIZE! HE LEAPS ON DRAKE AND LOCKS IN ‘ICONIC’! THE TRIANGLE CHOKE IS APPLIED! IF ADAM CAN HANG ON TO THIS HE MIGHT WIN THE MATCH!!!!
(With the hold taught to him by his legendary mentor, Orlando Cruze, Adam was going for broke. He wanted, no he NEEDED to win this match, and get the King of Elite crown. For nearly a year, Adam had been close to capturing his first ever world title and time after time, the Answers World Championship seemed to slip through his fingers. He was done waiting, done being patient, and he knew something had to give. If that meant choking the very life out of Drake King, then he would do it. Adam was not going to let this chance to win King of Elite slip through his fingers.)
Persephone: DRAKE IS FADING AWAY! CHECK HIM, REF! I WANT TO SEE IF HE’S DEAD YET!
Gavin Kirkland: :lupe: The referee lifts Drake’s arm and lets it fall to the ground. I think he’s out, guys! Holy smokes! I think Adam is going to win this!
Stew-O: THE REFEREE CHECKS DRAKE AGAIN AND HIS HAND FALLS TO THE MAT A SECOND TIME! STICK A FORK IN HIM! HE IS DONE! ADAM LUCAS IS GOING TO BECOME OUR NEW KING OF ELITE!
(For the third and hopefully final time, the referee lifted up Drake’s hand. The audience held their collective breath. If this were to be the end, they would be fine with that. Adam Lucas would make the perfect king, and more importantly, he wasn’t Drake King.)
(After what seemed like an eternity, the referee let go of Drake’s hand.)
Persephone: RUNNING LOW DROPKICK CONNECTS WITH ADAM LUCAS AS DRAKE’S ARM HITS THE MAT! BRONSON DANIELS HAS SAVED THIS MATCH UP! HE GRABS ADAM AND LOCKS HIM IN HIS OWN VERSION OF THE TRIANGLE CHOKE! BRONSON IS GOING TO CHOKE OUT ADAM!
Gavin Kirkland: THIS CROWD IS STUNNED! I AM STUNNED! BRONSON CAME OUT OF NOWHERE TO KEEP THIS MATCH ALIVE!
Stew-O: ADAM LUCAS IS WORKING ON A REVERSAL! HE’S MANAGED TO KEEP BRONSON’S ARM FROM CUTTING OFF HIS AIR SUPPLY AND HE’S TRYING TO PIN BRONSON’S LEG WITH HIS ELBOW! BRONSON IS WORKING ON GETTING HIS OWN ARM FREE, BUT HE’S FORCED TO LET GO! ADAM QUICKLY ROLLS TO THE SIDE, GRABS THE ROPES, AND PULLS HIMSELF UP! BRONSON SPRINTS TOWARDS ADAM BUT ADAM CATCHES HIM FLUSH ACROSS THE JAW WITH HIS BOOT! HE PUSHES OFF THE ROPES AND TURNS BRONSON INSIDE OUT WITH A HUGE LARIAT!
Persephone: ADAM SEES DRAKE SITTING UP THE CORNER AND RUNS TOWARDS HIM! RUNNING KNEE STRIKE CATCHES DRAKE IN THE FACE! ADAM PICKS UP DRAKE AND SITS HIM ON TOP OF THE TURNBUCKLE! WITH THE CROWD SOLIDLY BEHIND HIM, ADAM CLIMBS UP AND RAISES HIS FIST IN THE AIR! HE PUNCHES DRAKE IN THE HEAD!
(That action by Adam prompted the crowd to happily count along.)
Crowd: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR… FIVE… SIX… SEVEN… EIGHT… NINE… TEN!!!!
(Adam held his hand up, going for an eleventh and final punch, but the crowd dramatically gasped!)
Stew-O: BRONSON JUST SPRINTED UP THE ROPES, GRABBED ADAM FROM BEHIND, AND ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED HIM WITH A GERMAN SUPERPLEX!!!!
Persephone: DEAR GAWD! ADAM JUST FLEW ACROSS THE RING AND LANDED ON HIS NECK AT A DISGUSTING ANGLE 😍. I’M WET RIGHT NOW!
Gavin Kirkland: Can I taste?
Stew-O: WE’RE ON DISNEY PLUS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, NOT PORN HUB!
(There was a small pause in the commentary and one can only assume it was so the broadcast team could get yelled at. Meanwhile, Bronson had gone back to the ropes and was taking his turn punching Drake!)
Crowd: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR… FIVE… SIX… SEVEN… EIGHT… NINE… TEN… EL-
Gavin Kirkland: DRAKE WITH A HEADBUTT TO BRONSON’S GUT! THAT STOPS BRONSON IN HIS TRACKS BUT HE QUICKLY RECOVERS! HE PULLS DRAKE UP AND NOW BOTH MEN ARE PERCHED PRECARIOUSLY ON THE TOP ROPE!
Stew-O: :lupe:
Persephone: BRONSON LEAPS UP, LOOKING FOR SOME TYPE OF FRANKENSTEINER, NO DOUBT A TRIBUTE TO HALL OF FAMER BLANDREA VALENTINE, BUT DRAKE CATCHES HIM! DRAKE TURNS BRONSON AROUND AND DRIVES OFF THE TOP! A SUPER FALCON ARROW CONNECTS! DRAKE HAS BRONSON IN A PINNING POSITION!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEE-
Stew-O: YES! BRONSON ROLLS HIS SHOULDER UP!
Gavin Kirkland: Drake doesn’t even have the energy to look surprised about it. He’s sprawled out on the mat, while Adam is trying to regroup on the outside. :lupe: Showdown’s big hope looks to be favoring his neck.
Persephone: Bronson just rolled out of the ring as well. I can only assume he is trying to put as much distance as he can between himself and Drake right now. As much as it disgusts me to hand out compliments, all three of these bozos have really gone above and beyond to win this match.
Stew-O: I don’t think we need to remind everyone what’s on the line tonight. Over the years, we have seen plenty of Kings cash in their crowns and win their world title match. Last night, Adam Lucas got to watch his wife, Dr. Bethany Blue, do that very thing when she converted on last year’s Empress of Elite win. There is so much at stake for each man in this match, and eventually, someone has got to find a way to win it.
(While Drake remained in the ring, Bronson and Adam were on opposite sides of it. Both of them were exhausted, mentally and physically, but it was their emotion and competitiveness that were willing them on in this match. Adam felt the aftermath of that sick landing and his neck didn’t feel right. As he attempted to shake it off, he decided that he needed to up the ante.)
(Unbeknownst to Adam, Bronson had lifted the apron skirt and was looking for something, anything at all, he could take back inside the ring with him. His hand finally landed on something and there was no mistaking the smile that crossed his face.)
Persephone: :comeagain: Did Bronson just pull out a barbed wire wrapped BASKETBALL???
Stew-O: LEBRONSON TIME :blessed:!
Gavin Kirkland: NOT TO BE UPSTAGE, ADAM HAS A WEAPON OF HIS OWN!
Persephone: What fresh hell is that???

Stew-O: That, my friend, is a colonoscopy scope.
Gavin Kirkland: PTSD… PTSD!!! ALWAYS GET THE ANESTHESIA!
Stew-O: :mjlol:
Persephone: Well that’s uhhh… different.
(Bronson slid into the ring behind Drake. Adam slid into the ring in front of Drake. Drake took a moment to collect his thoughts about this. All he could do was close his eyes.)
Drake King: (off-mic) :man_standing:
Stew-O: SLAM DUNK BY BRONSON DANIELS! THE BARBED WIRE BASKETBALL IS DRILLED INTO DRAKE’S SKULL!

(The referee started to count.)

OOONNNEEE!!!

Stew-O: ADAM KICKED OUT JUST IN TIME!
Persephone: BRONSON IS THE QUICKER OF THE TWO BECAUSE HE CUTS ADAM OFF WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! BRONSON FOLLOWS UP WITH A MASSIVE CHOP TO THE CHEST AND HE GOES RIGHT FOR THE ROPES! ADAM FOLLOWS BRONSON! BOTH MEN ARE ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE NOW, EXCHANGING RIGHTS AND LEFTS! BRONSON TAKES ADAM BY THE HAIR AND THERE’S ANOTHER HEADBUTT! WE STAN WRESTLERS WHO BELIEVE IN GIVING CONCUSSIONS!
Stew-O: THE MOMENTUM CAUSES ADAM TO LOSE HIS FOOTING AND HE CROTCHES THE ROPES! BRONSON CHOPS HIM OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL ADAM IS HANGING BACKWARDS! TREE OF WOE POSITION! BRONSON GETS INTO STANDING POSITION AND HE WAITS AS ADAM TRIES TO SIT UP!
Gavin Kirkland: DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! BRONSON CATCHES HIMSELF, SOMERSAULTS THROUGH, LEAPS UP, AND CRASHES DOWN ON TOP OF DRAKE WITH A JUMPING SPLASH! BRONSON HOOKS THE LEGS!

Persephone: DRAKE KICKS OUT!
Stew-O: BRONSON TAKES DRAKE AND IRISH WHIPS HIM INTO THE CORNER! DRAKE COLLIDES WITH AN UPSIDE DOWN ADAM AND BRONSON NEARLY TAKES DRAKE’S HEAD OFF WITH A RUNNING CORNER CLOTHESLINE! HE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A MONKEY FLIP THAT SENDS DRAKE FLYING ACROSS THE RING! BRONSON TURNS TO ADAM AND BEGINS STOMPING A MUDHOLE IN HIM! ADAM IS TRYING TO COVER UP BUT IT’S POINTLESS!

Persephone: ‘SAVAGE MODE’!!! THE LIFTING DOUBLE UNDERHOOK GUTBUSTER CONNECTS AND BRONSON COVERS DRAKE!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Stew-O: :damn: :damn: :damn: I DON’T KNOW HOW HE DID IT, BUT ADAM JUST SAVED THE MATCH WITH A FLYING CROSS BODY OFF THE TOP ROPE!
Gavin Kirkland: He must have been able to sit up and get himself on the turnbuckles! Either way, Adam just saved Drake’s day and the King of Elite finals are still going!
Persephone: Bronson just rolled off Drake and he’s favoring his lower back. Adam is clutching his stomach, which took a huge amount of damage while he was tied up, and Drake… well Drake has seen better days, that’s for sure.
(Despite the pain that is shooting through his lower back, Bronson was able to drag himself back to his feet. There is no denying that this popular Elitist would make one hell of a King and winning this match would cap off a great comeback for him. Bronson staggered towards Adam and put the boots to him. After a moment, he glanced around the ring and saw the ring bell that he had used earlier on Drake.)
Stew-O: Somewhere backstage, Jake Mercer is about to cry. I see the look in Bronson’s eyes right now and he is looking to end this match right now. Bronson scoops Adam up and suplexes him down on top of the ring bell! FLYING BRONSONS!!!! BRONS-
Persephone: LANDS ON THE RING BELL :mjlol2:!!! ADAM LUCAS ROLLED OFF AND BRONSON IS GRABBING AT HIS LEG! HE’S HURT! BRONSON IS HURT!
Stew-O: NO! NO! NO! That could be the end of Bronson Daniels! Seeing him hurt has given Adam Lucas life and Adam launches himself at Bronson! HE RAPIDLY KICKS BRONSON IN THE BACK OF THE LEG BEFORE GRABBING IT AND SLAMMING IT INTO THE MAT! ADAM MAINTAINS CONTROL OF BRONSON AND GOES TO THE OUTSIDE! HE WRAPS BRONSON’S LEG AROUND THE RING POST AND HE’S GOING FOR A FIGURE FOUR! FIGURE FOUR AROUND THE RING POST!
Gavin Kirkland: THERE’S NO DISQUALIFICATION IN THIS! ADAM CAN KEEP THAT HOLD CINCHED IN FOR AS LONG AS HE WANTS AND THERE’S NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO!
Persephone: DRAKE MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THAT! HE’S ON THE OUTSIDE NOW AND KICKS ADAM IN THE CHEST! THE FIGURE FOUR IS BROKEN AND DRAKE PULLS ADAM UP!
Stew-O: ADAM BLOCKS A RIGHT HAND BY DRAKE AND HITS HIM WITH A FOREARM! DRAKE FIRES BACK WITH A FOREARM OF HIS OWN BUT ADAM DRIVES HIS KNEE INTO DRAKE’S STOMACH! HE RAMS DRAKE INTO THE RING POST BEFORE THROWING HIM BACK INSIDE THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: DRAKE IS CRAWLING TOWARDS THE STUPID SCOPE THOUGH! ADAM SEES THIS AND RUSHES TOWARDS DRAKE AND STOMPS DOWN ON HIS HAND! THAT’S THE GLOVED HAND THAT HIDES THE MANGLED FINGER DRAKE LOST IN THE CHAINSAW DEATHMATCH AGAINST JUSTIN WINDGATE!
Persephone: Happier times :mjcry:
Stew-O: ADAM SNATCHES THE SCOPE UP AND WRAPS IT AROUND DRAKE’S NECK! DRAKE IS SCRATCHING AND CLAWING AT THE SCOPE, TRYING TO SAVE HIMSELF, BUT ADAM TIGHTENS HIS GRIP! BRONSON IS IN THE CORNER, TRYING TO PULL HIMSELF UP WITH THE ROPES, BUT HE CAN BARELY MOVE HIS LEG! DRAKE’S FACE IS TURNING PURPLE AND BRONSON DIVES FOR THEM!
Persephone: BRONSON COLLIDES WITH ADAM AND DRAKE IS ABLE TO SLIP AWAY! DRAKE GETS THE HELL OUT OF THE RING WHILE ADAM KICKS BRONSON’S LEG! BRONSON DROPS TO HIS KNEE AND ADAM PLACES A PERFECTLY TIMED KICK RIGHT TO THE CHEST! ADAM GOES FOR THE LEG AGAIN AND BRONSON IS DOWN! ADAM WRAPS THE SCOPE AROUND BRONSON’S LEG LOOKING TO CUT OFF ITS CIRCULATION AND HE BEGINS STOMPING AWAY ON IT! ADAM LUCAS IS GOING AWF RIGHT NOW!!!!
(Every missed opportunity and every screw job is playing in Adam’s head at that moment. He is taking all of his anger and frustration out on Bronson Daniels. Bronson might not have had anything to do with what’s happened to Adam, but he just happened to be in the wrong place, at the wrong time. As torn as the crowd is to see Bronson getting beat, they feel for Adam and everything he has gone through. Adam finally collapsed on the mat out of exhaustion but somehow he still had the wherewithal to crawl over to Bronson and drape his arm over him.)
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Stew-O: BRONSON. DANIELS. JUST. KICKED. OUT. WOW!
Gavin Kirkland: The look on Adam’s face says it all. After rendering one of Bronson’s legs useless, he thought the match was won. What is it going to take for one of these men to walk away with the right to call himself the King of Elite?
(Neither Adam nor Bronson were interested in moving at the moment. It had been a long, grueling match and neither was in a position to capitalize. However, the man on the outside of the ring had been sitting back and watching this, and once Bronson kicked out, Drake had started to unlace his boot. Nestled inside in its own little pocket was a sharpened crucifix that Drake just happened to keep handy. A maniacal look crossed ‘The Messiah’s’ face and he clutched the crucifix to his chest. He took his time standing up and the crowd unloaded on him. The look on his face grew into a smile and he held the crucifix up in the air.)
Drake King: (off-mic) You all are about to bear witness to the birth of a new King. A King that sees EAW for the craphole it truly is and one who wants to end it.
(There was no quieting the crowd now. They were booing the hell out of the man they had come to hate with every fiber of their being.)
Drake King: (off-mic) KING DRAKE KING! KING DRAKE KING! KING DRAKE KING!
Crowd: NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
(Their ‘no’ chant fell on deaf ears. Drake had gotten back in the ring and his attention was focused on Adam Lucas. Showing absolutely no mercy, Drake drove the crucifix right into Adam’s head. A line of blood began to trickle down Adam’s face and then grew thicker as Drake ruthlessly drove the crucifix down into the open wound. He was toying with Adam at the moment, and Adam knew it.)
(Rage engulfed Adam and he started to fight back. This seemed to amuse Drake and he dug that crucifix in deeper. Adam’s face was slowly turning into a crimson mask but the spirit of Adam Lucas wouldn’t allow him to stop. He reached up and caught Drake in the face with a right hand. Drake grabbed a handful of hair and slammed Adam’s face into the mat. He raised the crucifix high above his head and slammed it into the back of Adam’s head. Callously and meticulously Drake tortured Adam. Adam’s blond locks turned red and once Drake was satisfied he had done enough, he leaned back and surveyed the scene. His eyes settled on Bronson and a sneer crossed his face.)
(On one leg, Bronson Daniels had gotten up. He was in the process of untying the scope when he spied Drake watching him. Bronson began to grab at the scope to free his leg because at the moment he wasn’t feeling anything. He was willing himself to get free as Drake stalked him. Drake was waiting and Bronson just shook his head.)
Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) Man… fuck it.
(As cliche as it sounds, desperate times called for desperate measures. Bronson slammed his fist into his leg a few times and scrambled up the ropes. Drake watched, curious, knowing that Bronson was all but beaten. It seemed as if Bronson was willing to go out in style and Drake just sighed. The ego of an Elitist is a fragile thing. It did not surprise Drake at all that Bronson was willing to fall on his own sword. Drake could have easily climbed up after Bronson, but he had something else in mind. It had to be timed just right.)
(It was suicide and Bronson knew it. He couldn’t feel his leg and didn’t know why Drake was just waiting. With nothing to lose, Bronson threw himself off the top rope. Right as he did Drake backed up and went into a sprint.)
Persephone: ‘SECOND DEATH’! ‘BOOK OF DRISTIANITY’! WHATEVER THE HELL IT’S CALLED! DRAKE JUST KNOCKED BRONSON OUT OF THE AIR WITH A RUNNING, LEAPING SKULL PUNT! BRONSON HITS THE MAT WITH A THUD AND DRAKE HAS THIS MATCH WON!
Gavin Kirkland: FOR FUCK’S SAKE! NOT THIS WAY! I DON’T CARE IF DISNEY FINES ME!
(A sick look had crossed Drake’s face as the very life had been sucked right out of the building. The crowd was defeated. The most hated man in Elite Answers Wrestling was about to become the King of Elite.)
Stew-O: In all my years of broadcasting, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that. Drake has dropped down on top of Bronson and the referee has started the count. I can’t believe this is the ending. Dammit.
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(And then the silence was shattered.)
(A scream was ripped from Drake’s lips.)
(The crucifix had been driven right between Drake’s shoulder blades by a bloody Adam Lucas.)
Gavin Kirkland: HOLY SHIT! ADAM LUCAS LIVES! HE GRABS DRAKE AND TOSSES HIM INTO THE RING POST! ADAM FALLS ON TOP OF BRONSON AND HOOKS THE LEG!!! LET’S GO ADAM!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… HERE IS YOUR WINNER… THE 2023 KING OF ELITE… ADAM LUCAS!!!!
(‘You Know My Name’ begins to blast across the speakers and with a look of shock on his face, Adam rolls off of Bronson. The crowd is chanting his name and it takes a moment for the entire thing to register. Everything he had been working for the last couple of years had finally come to fruition. No one had stopped him. No one had tried to screw him over. Adam had found something from within and this time, he was having the last laugh.)
Gavin Kirkland: SHOWDOWN WON! SHOWDOWN WON! ADAM LUCAS IS KING! :blessed: :blessed:
Persephone: There is no better ending than seeing the Devil get stabbed in the back :wow:.
(Persephone’s words were fitting. As the referee helped Adam up, his wife came out. Dr. Bethany Blue, the newly crowned Universal Women’s Champion, had tears in her eyes as she ran down to the ring. She stopped only for a few seconds to grab the King of Elite crown that sat on the ringside podium. Adam pulled his hand away from the referee and stumbled towards the ropes. Despite the pain and fatigue that had settled in his bones, he managed to step down on the ropes for Bethany. She shook her head at his thoughtfulness, in disbelief that in this moment, HIS moment, he would be thinking of her.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: (off-mic) You did it, King.
(That was when the emotion and gravity of the moment hit Adam and tears filled his own eyes. Bethany threw her arms around him and they clung to one another as confetti and streamers started to rain from the sky. Finally, they broke apart and Adam bent his head so Bethany could crown him. He gave her a gentle smile, tenderly touched the Universal Women’s Championship that was around her waist, before they grabbed hands and raised them high in the air.)
(The past was now the past and Adam Lucas, an Elitist who had always put his heart and soul into everything he did, was truly living his dream. The crown on his head signaled a new beginning for him and it was one that would take him to a world championship match. In the back of his mind, he knew the battle was far from over, but that was something he would worry about on another day. He wanted to be in the present. He wanted to feel the crowd. He wanted to share this with his wife. He wanted to remember this moment that no one would ever be able to take away.)
(As the crowd chanted his name, Adam Lucas turned to them and acknowledged it. He embraced them. He turned to Bethany, bent his head, and kissed her as the scene faded away.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
