Day 1
(EAW Intro Flashes)
(The scene opens in a far away land, a castle stands where the snow blankets the ground, as the camera pans it shows The Queen sitting on her throne, a Knight walks over to her and hands her the scroll. She slowly stands up and heads out to the tower, looking out at her people of the kingdom standing there, and a battle arena in the middle with a number of warriors standing by watching, holding their weapons.)
Narrator: Hear ye… hear ye…. My people of the Kingdom Elite. This weekend is our yearly competition of valor, strength, heroism…. And yes, evil. Dominance, chaos, virtue and vice. In our arena we will witness our warriors that come from all over the world to be ELITE! We will crown a King and an Empress. My people, we will witness Three Stages of Hell, Unsanctioned fights and titles that will be on the line.
(The footage shows The Banner of The British Invasion with its warriors standing there, another banner representing Damien Kutcher, Akari Kiyoko, the other with Candice Blair and Selina Reyes. It then shifts to show the banner of Nikki Kimura with next to it Saori Aizen. Finally, it shifts to the banner of BRAE and the one of Effy McAvoy. It then has the banner of Jay Jerry Johnson and the other of Corey Hale. Finally, it shows the banner of Miku Sakai, a bunch of simps, and the other a banner of SOSA Henderson.)
Narrator: We will watch as some will settle their differences, others will battle for supremacy, but in the end, they will do so until there is one winner!
(The scene then switches to the group holding the banner of Raven Roberts, next to it is that of Milli Banks. We then see the Banner of Dr. Bethany Blue with highlights of Cleopatra’s symbol on it, and then Octavia. It then shows that of Jon Kelton and next to them Harper Lee. They continue to show other banners of Cody Maverick, Ryan Joseph Wilson, Brianna Hill, and Ruler’s. Finally, the footage then shows a large army holding the banner of Bronson Daniels and next to them opposing is the army of Donovan Duke.)
Narrator: But as I sit here as your Queen, royalty is definitely the theme, and while two will walk out with crowns, there are others who will leave with victories, and others with defeats. The question now is, who will go on to conquer the rest of the season, and who will be thrown off their path.
(A very colorful army in black and orange holds the banner of Minerva and opposing them are the group of worshippers holding the banner of Drake King. It then switches to the armies of KASAI in their samurai gear, to the army of barbarians that represent Ms. Extreme. Now we see the army of Myles ready for battle, and the D’jinn of Chris Elite and his banner. It then has the banners of Xander Payne with being opposed with the banner of Limmy Monaghan, and finally showing the banners of Brian Daniels and then the other of Cy Henderson.)
Narrator: And as we head into battle, to witness the wars for titles and crowns, they will honor your Queen and the peasants who watch. Warriors from all over the world, I plea with you to show me your best!
(The army of Michael Machina scream and bark holding his banner, and then the huge army of Methuselah holds their banner high. Then there is a row of banners, that of Cameron Ella Ava, Jake Smith, Daryl Kinkade and finally Adam Lucas. It then has the golden army of Joso holding his banner, that of Hans Grayson’s and finally of Impact.)
Narrator: And to finish this off…. We will crown a new Empress and a New King!
(The French contingent of black knights representing Daniella Atlas, and then the flamboyant army of Bea Valentine. The armies of TLA scream holding his banner, then switches to the dark armies of Solomon Stane and finally the royals of Drake Armstrong._
Narrator: LET THE GAMES BEGIN…. AS WE ENTER THE KINGDOM OF ELITE! WELCOME KINGS AND EMPRESSES!
(The Queen holds up her arms with the scroll in her hand as the Kingdom cheers, the scene then shifts out of the kingdom as the games begin.)

???: AND NOW CRUMBL COOKIE AND INVINCIBLE WITH CONJUNCTION TO THE EAW PRESENT THE 2025 KING OF ELITE!
(The camera pans over the frigid Soldier Field where it is 30 degrees outside and there is a chance of snow tonight. The fireworks go off as “Heavy Is The Crown” by Linkin Park plays throughout the arena. The crowd is on their feet holding up their signs as it transitions to the announcing team of James Peters, Rich Russillo, and Persephone.)
James Peters: HELLO EAW UNIVERSE! I AM JAMES PETERS ACCOMPANIED BY MY CO-HOSTS RICH RUSSILLO AND PERSEPHONE REPRESENTING VOLTAGE! WE ALSO HAVE DEADPREZ, EVE, AND GAVIN KIRKLAND REPRESENTING SHOWDOWN! AND FINALLY, STEVE-O, JAKE MERCER AND FLANNERY MCCOY REPRESENTNG DYNASTY! IT IS A FRIGID NIGHT HERE IN CGICAGO BUT WE ARE HERE FOR THE TWO-NIGHT KING OF ELITE EVENT! WHERE WE WILL CROWN A NEW KING AND EMPRESS OF ELITE!
Rich Russillo: THAT IS RIGHT AND WE HAVE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS ON THE LINE! EVERY MAJOR TITLE IS ALSO ON THE LINE AS WE SAW TWO OF THEM DEFENDED ON THE PRE-SHOW, THE BRITISH INVASION WAS VICTORIOUS AND SO WAS NIKKI KIMURA! AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT WE ALSO HAVE SOME INBCREDIBLE MATCHES INCLUDING THE THREE STAGES OF HELL BETWEEN DRAKE KING AND MINERVA! WE HAVE OPPORTUNTIIES FOR CHAMPIONSHIPS AND SO MUCH MORE AS TWO LEGENDS FACE OFF AND –
Persephone: UMMM EXCUSE ME! YEAH I AM YELLING BECAUSE UHHH… I WANT TO TALK TOO! AND –
James Peters: LET’S GO DOWN TO THE RING FOR THE OPENING MATCH WITH BELLA BRAXTON READY TO MAKE THE INTRODUCTIONS!
(The camera pan to Bell Braxton as she is ready to introduce. The first match graphic of the night flashes across the screen and the fans are now in shambles.)
https://i.ibb.co/pWdBzhY/Limmy-Vs-Xander.png
(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS AN UNSANCTIONED MATCH!
Bella Braxton: BOTH COMPETITORS HAVE SIGNED A HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT! STATING THAT THERE WILL BE NO RULES! THEY WILL ADHERE TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE REFEREE, AND THE ONLY WAY TO WIN IS BY PINFALL OR SUBMISSION!
(“It Follows” by Cane Hill hits to a mixed reaction from fans, and Xander Payne strolls onto the stage. Payne looks extremely serious as he glances around the arena, and begins marching down to the ring, letting out a war cry beforehand.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Hailing out of Toronto, Canada, weighing in at 255 pounds…XANDER PAYNE!!
James Peters: Ladies and gentlemen, this is it. Xander Payne versus Limmy Monaghan in an unsanctioned match.
Rich Russillo: Which means that EAW isn’t liable for the damage done to either man.
James Peters: It’s a scary thought to think about, because there are likely no lengths either man won’t cross.
(‘Number One’ by Shirō Sagisu & Hazel Fernandes plays to a positive leaning reaction from fans. Limmy saunters on the stage area, and stares a hole into Xander from the stage area. Limmy takes a deep breath, and walks down the ramp. Focused ahead of his match tonight, but the hatred still radiating from both men.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent! Residing out of Golden Beach, Florida, weighing in at 227 pounds…HE IS THE ACE OF ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING…LIMMY MONAGHAN!!
Rich Russillo: Xander has brought out a side of Limmy Monaghan that we haven’t seen in quite some time.
James Peters: I’ve never seen him be so fueled by hatred.
Persephone: I remember Limmy invading the fat ass’ house. Good times.
Rich Russillo: Times that Xander Payne remembers well, and will use as the driving force behind every attack.
(The referee signals for the bell as both competitors stand in opposing corners.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: WHOA! THE BELL HAS RUNG- BUT LIMMY JUST SHOT OUT THE CORNER WITH A DROPKICK! SENDING XANDER PAYNE BACK FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!
Rich Russillo: PAYNE GOES DOWN! AND LIMMY BEGINS ASCENDING TO THE TOP ROPE! GOING TO END THIS ONE EARLY WITH THE GENKI CANNON! A NOD TO JAMIE O’HARA!
James Peters: HOWEVER, XANDER PAYNE ROLLS TO THE OUTSIDE! AVOIDING IT!
Rich Russillo: BUT THAT DOESN’T STOP LIMMY, WHO DROPS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES! BUILDING MOMENTUM FOR A-
James Peters: TOPE CON HILO!! WIPING XANDER OUT!
Rich Russillo: LIMMY HIT HARD, BUT GRITS THROUGH THE PAIN! AS DOES XANDER! BOTH MEN ARE QUICKLY BACK TO THEIR FEET, AND XANDER STAGGERS BACK AGAINST A CORNER OF THE BARRICADE! LIMMY RUSHES IN-
James Peters: CLOTHESLINE OVER THE TOP! BOTH MEN GO SPILLING OVER!
Persephone: These two are going to kill each other! I love it!
Rich Russillo: XANDER IS BACK TO HIS FEET, BUT LIMMY ISN’T FAR BEHIND! APPROACHING HIS ADVERSARY- BUT EATS A RIGHT HAND FOR HIS TROUBLES!
James Peters: XANDER WITH A RIGHT! BUT LIMMY FIRES BACK WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! EXCHANGING BLOWS! XANDER! LIMMY! XANDER! LIMMY! BACK AND FORTH!
Rich Russillo: BUT LIMMY CATCHES XANDER WITH ONE GOOD RIGHT, STAGGERING HIM SLIGHTLY! XANDER SENSES HE’S IN TROUBLE AS LIMMY CLOSES IN- THEREFORE, BEGINS GOUGING HIS EYE! BLINDING LIMMY TEMPORARILY!
James Peters: AND LOOK AT THIS! XANDER PAYNE IS RETREATING! STAGGERING TO CREATE SEPARATION AS HE HEADS UP THE STEPS FOR THE AISLEWAY!
Persephone: Oh hell no, someone tell this fat fuck to get back there, and fight!
Rich Russillo: LIMMY ISN’T GOING TO LEAVE HIM A CHOICE! HOT IN PURSUIT OF XANDER AS HE CHASES AFTER HIM!
James Peters: BOTH MEN REACH THE TOP OF THE AISLE, AND LIMMY CHARGES IN! BLASTING XANDER IN THE BACK, KNOCKING HIS OPPONENT OVER! XANDER GOES DOWN TO ALL FOURS, AND LIMMY GRABS HOLD OF HIM-
Rich Russillo: BUT XANDER DRIVES LIMMY BACK FIRST INTO A WALL! BEFORE SENDING HIM FACE AND SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE WALL PARALLEL AT THE AISLEWAY ENTRANCE!
James Peters: LIMMY IS ROCKED, AND GETS GRABBED BY XANDER, WHO LEADS HIM THROUGH THE CURTAIN! BOTH MEN ENTERING THE ARENA CONCOURSE!
Rich Russillo: XANDER LINES LIMMY UP, AND PROCEEDS TO BLAST HIM WITH A RIGHT!
James Peters: LIMMY STAGGERS BACK, BUT STUMBLES AWAY AS HE GETS CAUGHT WITH ANOTHER! XANDER REMAINS HOT ON HIS HEELS BUT-
Rich Russillo: LIMMY GRABS A STANCHION POST, AND JABS IT DIRECTLY INTO XANDER’S GUT! NO DOUBT KNOCKING THE WIND OUT OF HIS SYSTEM!
Persephone: Limmy had a pretty big target to hit there.
James Peters: LIMMY LIFTS THAT STANCHION UP OVER HIS HEAD, GOING TO DO SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE- BUT XANDER PAYNE CATCHES IT! NOW, BOTH MEN ARE JOCKEYING FOR POSITION OVER THE POST!
Rich Russillo: BUT XANDER TAGS LIMMY WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION, AND SNATCHES THE POST AWAY! THROWING IT DOWN TO THE FLOOR! NOW, XANDER GRABS HOLD OF LIMMY!
James Peters: THESE TWO HAVE FOUND THEMSELVES AT THE MERCH STAND, AND XANDER SUPLEXES LIMMY THROUGH THE TABLE!
Rich Russillo; MONAGHAN IS WRITHING IN PAIN AT THE MOMENT, AND XANDER RISES TO A KNEE!
James Peters: BUT GETS AN IDEA AS HE APPROACHES THE MERCHANDISE WALL, AND- OOH! HE JUST THREW THAT ENTIRE MERCHANDISE WALL DOWN ONTO LIMMY, WHO WAS STILL LYING IN THAT TABLE RUBBLE!
Persephone: I think I spotted a Jake Smith shirt on that wall! Notice how none were sold!
James Peters: :mjgrin:
Rich Russillo: Xander Payne is digging Limmy out from under that rubble, and directs him through the aisle entrance way again before- OH MY GOD!
James Peters: XANDER JUST THREW LIMMY DOWN A FEW OF THE STEPS!
Rich Russillo: LIMMY WAS ROLLING THERE BRIEFLY, BUT LUCKILY, HIS MOMENTUM CAME TO A STOP AS HE RISES TO A KNEE! USING THE RAIL FOR ASSISTANCE!
James Peters: XANDER CATCHES UP TO LIMMY ON THE STEPS, AND STICKS HIS HEAD THROUGH THE RAILING! PULLING BACK FOR A MODIFIED CAMEL CLUTCH OF SORTS!
Rich Russillo: FINALLY, XANDER RELENTS! DIRECTING LIMMY DOWN THE STEPS, AND CONNECTS WITH A RIGHT HAND! SENDING LIMMY STAGGERING IN THE WALKWAY!
James Peters: LIMMY DOUBLES OVER AS HE MAKES IT TO THE SIDE OF THE STAGE AREA, AND CATCHES XANDER WITH A KICK TO THE GUT AS HE COMES CLOSING IN! NOW, LIMMY SENDS XANDER FACE FIRST INTO THE SET!
Rich Russillo: XANDER COLLIDED HARD, AND STAGGERS INTO THE BACKSTAGE AREA!
Persephone: These two have been everywhere but the ring at this point, but I’m not complaining!
James Peters: Limmy heads backstage himself, going after Xander! Xander is still trying to stagger away from Limmy, throwing obstacles in his path!
Rich Russillo: OOH! XANDER JUST ROLLED A ROAD CASE OVER INTO LIMMY’S ABDOMEN! THAT’LL SLOW HIM DOWN AS MONAGHAN DROPS TO A KNEE!
James Peters: AND XANDER DIPS OUT THROUGH THE EXIT DOOR! CONTINUING TO RUN FROM LIMMY MONAGHAN AS HE ENTERS THE PARKING LOT!
Persephone: Oh, cmon! This guy invaded your house, you don’t want revenge?
(The cameras stick with Limmy after Xander exited out to the parking lot area. Limmy is growing irritated with Xander’s reluctance to fight, and rises to his feet with assistance from the road case before angrily rolling it aside.)
Rich Russillo: As if Limmy wasn’t already entering this match with pent up anger and aggression towards Xander, I think the Hall of Famer has only made him madder.
James Peters: If I’m Xander, I’m already in the car, and pulling off!
Rich Russillo: Speaking of, Limmy needs to hurry for that exact reason! What if Xander has retreated from the building?!
Persephone: To go where? A buffet?
James Peters: I don’t know, but Limmy Monaghan has stormed through the exit door! Searching for Xander in the parking lot!
(Limmy enters the empty parking lot area, but Xander is… oddly, nowhere to be found.)
James Peters: Guys, I… I think Xander Payne may have lef-
Rich Russillo: NEVERMIND! XANDER PAYNE JUST CAME FROM OUTTA NOWHERE WITH A TIRE IRON! CRACKING LIMMY IN THE BACK OF HIS SKULL!
James Peters: LIMMY IS WRITHING IN PAIN AT THE MOMENT, AND A SINISTER SMILE HAS FORMED ON XANDER PAYNE’S FACE!
Rich Russillo: OH NO, WHAT’S HE GOT PLANNED?!
Persephone: For once, I’m actually interested. What DOES he have planned??
(Xander grabs hold of Limmy, and sits him up against the side of a car.)
Rich Russillo: NOW, XANDER CONNECTS WITH MULTIPLE RIGHTS! AND RUSHES OVER TO ANOTHER CAR HE HAS PARKED! MONAGHAN BARELY KNOWS WHERE HE IS!
(Xander runs over to another vehicle he has parked, facing towards the car Limmy is currently sat up against on the side. Almost like… Xander had planned this. Luring Limmy into a trap from the start.)
James Peters: HEY! SOMEBODY STOP THIS!
Rich Russillo: XANDER DID SAY HE WAS GOING TO KILL LIMMY MONAGHAN, BUT I DIDN’T THINK HE WAS BEING LITERAL!
James Peters: SERIOUSLY, SOMEBODY STOP THIS! SECURITY! ANYONE!
Persephone: Why when it’s just getting good?! :mjlit:
(Xander ignites the car, and has a crazed look in his eye while staring directly at Limmy, who still has yet to move. Mostly reeling from that tire iron shot to the back of his head.)
James Peters: XANDER, THINK ABOUT THIS! DON’T DO IT-
Rich Russillo: NO!!
(Xander hits the gas, and-)
**CRASH!!**
James Peters: Oh my God…
Rich Russillo: Someone get out there. Xander Payne may…
James Peters: He may have lived up to his promise…
(Both cars are totaled as Xander Payne just crashed into the side of one, and he opens his door, attempting to get a better view of the damage done.)
**BEEP!**
James Peters: WHAT THE-
Rich Russillo: LIMMY JUST SLAMMED XANDER FACE FIRST OFF THE STEERING WHEEL!
Persephone: GODDAMIT!!! I thought he was dead!
James Peters: I GUESS LIMMY MUST HAVE MOVED, AND THANK GOD FOR THAT!
Rich Russillo: Xander was seriously going to- I don’t want to think about it.
James Peters: WELL, LIMMY IS MAKING HIM PAY! SMASHING XANDER’S HEAD OFF THAT STEERING WHEEL MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE FINALLY DRAGGING HIM OUT THE CAR! WHAT’S HE GOT PLANNED- OOH!
Rich Russillo: LIMMY JUST WHIPPED XANDER PAYNE SHOULDER FIRST INTO THAT OPENED DOOR! KNOCKING IT OFF ITS HINGES!
(Xander writhes in pain on the floor, and Limmy approaches the metal loading dock door, raising it up slightly.)
James Peters: We’ve seen the sick and twisted things Xander can come up with! Time for Limmy to get creative!
Rich Russillo: Limmy grabs hold of Xander, and lays him underneath that loading dock door!
James Peters: LIMMY GRABS HOLD OF IT, AND SLAMS IT DOWN ONTO XANDER!
Rich Russillo: NO! XANDER MOVED OUT THE WAY, CAUSING THAT DOCKING DOOR TO CLOSE! LIMMY THEN RUSHES THROUGH THE ENTRANCE DOOR HE CAME OUT OF, CHASING AFTER XANDER BEFORE HE CAN GET FAR!
Persephone: It’s Xander Payne, he can’t be too far away. He doesn’t move that fast.
James Peters: LIMMY NEEDS TO BE CAREFUL! LAST TIME HE CHASED AFTER XANDER, IT WAS A TRAP! PERHAPS HE’S MAKING THAT SAME MISTAKE AGAIN!
Rich Russillo: XANDER RUNS THROUGH THE STAGE SIDE ENTRANCE, AND LIMMY FOLLOWS HIM OUT THERE! BACK IN FRONT OF FANS!
James Peters: XANDER HOPS ON THE STAGE AREA, AND STANDS HIS GROUND! WAITING FOR LIMMY TO JOIN HIM, WHICH HE QUICKLY DOES! LIMMY MARCHES TOWARD XANDER, AND-
Rich Russillo: AND XANDER WENT FOR A RIGHT- BUT LIMMY BLOCKS IT! RETURNING FIRE WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! LIMMY IS UNLEASHING RIGHT HAND AFTER RIGHT HAND! BEFORE BLASTING XANDER IN THE GUT WITH A KICK! HOOKING HIM UP FOR A SUPLEX ON THAT STEEL STAGE AREA!
James Peters: BUT XANDER BLOCKS IT WITH A SHOT TO THE RIB CAGE! AND PUTS LIMMY IN POSITION FOR A POWERBOMB! GOING FOR LAST SEDATION-
Rich Russillo: BUT LIMMY COUNTERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP! XANDER’S BODY GOES CRASHING ON THAT STEEL!
Persephone: That poor steel!
James Peters: :cmon:
Rich Russillo: XANDER FAVORS HIS BACK WHILE QUICKLY RETURNING TO HIS FEET! PERHAPS RUNNING OFF PURE ADRENALINE OR INSTINCT!
James Peters: XANDER STUMBLES BACK DOWN THE RAMP BEFORE LIMMY CATCHES UP TO HIM! DELIVERING A RIGHT HAND!
Rich Russillo: XANDER STAGGERS DOWN TO RINGSIDE, AND DROPS TO A KNEE! USING THE APRON FOR ASSISTANCE IN EVEN REMAINING UPRIGHT!
James Peters: BUT WITH XANDER STUNNED MOMENTARILY, LIMMY GOES DIGGING UNDERNEATH THE RING FOR SOMETHING!
Rich Russillo: WHICH TURNS OUT TO BE A STEEL CHAIN!
James Peters: LIMMY USES THAT CHAIN, AND FROM BEHIND, WRAPS IT AROUND XANDER’S NECK! PULLING BACK TO CHOKE HIS OPPONENT!
Rich Russillo: XANDER’S EYES LOOK READY TO BULGE OUT HIS HEAD AS LIMMY MONAGHAN’S CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF HIM CURRENTLY!
Persephone: If I couldn’t get vehicular manslaughter, I’ll take murder via asphyxiation too!
James Peters: HIS FACE IS TURNING RED! XANDER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING, AND DO SOMETHING FAST-
Rich Russillo: OOH! THERE YOU GO! XANDER JUST BACKPEDALED! DRIVING LIMMY MONAGHAN BACK FIRST INTO THE APRON! BREAKING HIS CHOKE WITH THE CHAIN!
James Peters: FINALLY, XANDER REMOVES THAT CHAIN FROM AROUND HIS NECK, AND ROLLS INSIDE THE RING!
Rich Russillo: MEANWHILE, LIMMY WRAPS THAT CHAIN AROUND HIS FIST, AND SLIDES IN AFTER HIM!
James Peters: XANDER RISES TO HIS FEET, AND GOES TO DELIVER A RIGHT HAND ON LIMMY- BUT LIMMY BEATS HIM TO THE PUNCH WITH THAT CHAIN WRAPPED FIST!
Rich Russillo: XANDER STUMBLES BACK INTO THE CORNER, AND LIMMY CLOSES IN! CLIMBING TO THE MIDDLE ROPE! YOU DON’T THINK-
James Peters: I DO! LIMMY IS REIGNING DOWN WITH MULTIPLE PUNCHES TO THE SKULL OF XANDER PAYNE WITH THAT CHAIN WRAPPED FIST! THE CROWD COUNTING ALONG WITH HIM!
Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEV-
Rich Russillo: LOW BLOW! LOW BLOW FROM XANDER PAYNE
James Peters: LIMMY DROPS OFF THAT MIDDLE ROPE, AND IS WRITHING IN PAIN ON THE CANVAS! JUST HOW FAST THE PENDULUM CAN SHIFT!
(While Limmy continues writhing in pain, Xander Payne is struggling to stand in the corner as blood begins leaking down his forehead.)
James Peters: It was only a matter of time…
Rich Russillo: Xander Payne is the first to draw color in this absolutely wild unsanctioned match thus far…
Persephone: His CTE is increasing tenfold with every passing second this match continues.
(Xander wipes his forehead, and once seeing the blood on his hand, turns to the downed Limmy with extreme hatred in his eyes before collapsing to all fours, and rolling out the ring.)
James Peters: Xander Payne has left the ring, and goes digging underneath it. Looking to introduce some weapons of his own!
(Xander grabs a trash can with the lid wedged inside, and throws it into the ring before he goes looking again. This time, pulling out a…)
Rich Russillo: Oh my God…
James Peters: Xander Payne has introduced a familiar weapon!
Rich Russillo: That barbed wire bat from the Extreme Elimination Chamber match with spikes and nails sticking out of it!
Persephone: Don’t forget the barbed wire it’s wrapped in!! :shaq:
James Peters: I’m gonna ignore the giddiness in your voice, because this is bad. Very bad for Limmy Monaghan!
Rich Russillo: Xander Payne slides into the ring as Limmy is stirring back to his feet…
James Peters: AND XANDER SWINGS THAT BAT INTO LIMMY’S ABDOMEN! PUNCTURE WOUNDS ARE ALREADY BEGINNING TO FORM!
Rich Russillo: AND LIMMY DROPS TO BOTH KNEES! BUT XANDER ISN’T DONE INFLICTING THE PUNISHMENT, AND GOES TO RAKE THAT BAT ACROSS LIMMY’S FOREHEAD!
James Peters: BUT LIMMY GETS HIS HANDS UP TO BLOCK IT-
Rich Russillo: AND A SPIKE STABBED THROUGH ONE OF HIS HANDS! I CAN SEE IT POKING OUT ON OTHER SIDE!
James Peters: AND XANDER SNATCHES THE BAT BACK FULLY, CAUSING LIMMY TO DROP TO ALL FOURS! LEAVING HIM OPEN TO HAVE HIS BACK RAKED BY THAT MODIFIED BASEBALL BAT!
Rich Russillo: LIMMY IS IN A WORLD OF PAIN AT THE MOMENT, AND CRAWLS AWAY FROM XANDER! BUT XANDER STAYS PUT IN THE CORNER, STALKING LIMMY AS HE SLOWLY STIRS BACK TO HIS FEET!
James Peters: XANDER HAS THAT BAT PRIMED AND READY TO GO FOR ANOTHER SWING!
Persephone: I can see Limmy’s blood on one of the spikes! That’s sick and it’s making me so hot!
Rich Russillo: You know… since Luis was fired, we could ma-
Persephone: Not even if we were the last two people on Earth and the future of civilization depended on us procreating. I would let the whole fucking human race die out before I ever let you near my vajayjay.
(There is an awkward moment of silence at the broadcast booth before James gets them back on track.)
James Peters: Sick, indeed. But not in the way you’re thinking.
Persephone: James, quit being such a buzzkill. You’ve been a Voltage commentator for how long? How many of these matches have you sat through at this point?
James Peters: Regardless, it never gets easier to see the brutality displayed at times.
Rich Russillo: But this is where it’s gotten to. Xander Payne and Limmy want to kill each other, and… if we’re being honest, just might.
James Peters: Limmy makes it to a knee, but has his back turned to Xander Payne in the corner. No idea what awaits him.
Rich Russillo: XANDER CHARGES OUT- BUT LIMMY CHUCKS THAT TRASH CAN AT HIS HEAD!
James Peters: XANDER PAYNE DROPS THE BAT, AND IS WOBBLY! LIMMY TAKES ADVANTAGE! PULLING HIM FOR A PACKAGE PILEDRIVER! SPIKING XANDER ON THAT TRASH CAN WITH THE PAYNE KILLER!!! :damn:
Rich Russillo: XANDER IS OUT! BUT WHAT IS LIMMY WAITING FOR?! GO FOR THE COVER!
Persephone: As much as I’d hate for this to end, Rich is right for once. What’s this bonehead doing?
(Limmy has the opportunity to pin Xander Payne, who is sprawled out on the canvas. But shakes his head, not wanting to end it just yet, and rolls out the ring. Digging underneath the apron for something new…)
James Peters: Welp, Persephone, you’ll get your wish. This match isn’t over! But Limmy is going to inflict more damage on Xander Payne!
Rich Russillo: Limmy is digging underneath the ring, and I’m afraid to see what he pulls out- BUT THERE IT IS! A TABLE! LIMMY MONAGHAN HAS A TABLE, AND PROPS IT UP AGAINST THE BARRICADE!
James Peters: LIMMY HAS PLANS WITH THAT TABLE, BUT GOES DIGGING ONE MORE TIME TO FIND A… SLEDGEHAMMER! LIMMY HAS A SLEDGEHAMMER!
Persephone: Today just keeps getting better and better!
Rich Russillo: LIMMY HAS A SLEDGEHAMMER, AND SLIDES INTO THE RING AS XANDER PAYNE IS PULLING HIMSELF BACK UP WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE ROPES! DON’T TURN AROUND, XANDER! DON’T TURN AROU-
James Peters: WELL, HE TURNED AROUND! AND RIGHT INTO A RUNNING SHOT BETWEEN THE EYES WITH THAT SLEDGEHAMMER!
Rich Russillo: XANDER ISN’T UNCONSCIOUS, BUT HE IS CERTAINLY OUT OF IT! LOOK INTO THOSE EYES! NO IDEA WHERE HE IS CURRENTLY!
Persephone: Are we sure that isn’t how he usually looks?
James Peters: Oh, cut the jokes, Persephone! This is serious!
Persephone: Sorry, but- Xander Payne getting his shit rocked is nothing but hilarious!
(Xander’s forehead is now gushing even more blood as Limmy looks back with intensity in his eyes.)
Rich Russillo: Limmy Monaghan discards the sledgehammer, and exits the ring again! Finding some more weapons underneath the ring!
James Peters: The world is his playground! Limmy is going all out to compromise Xander Payne to a permanent end!
Rich Russillo: Can you blame him? Xander definitely didn’t hesitate to try, and bring Limmy to a permanent end!
Persephone: Imagine if he had succeeded! :blessed:
James Peters: I’m going to ignore that for now as Limmy Monaghan has pulled out a LADDER, and slides into the ring!
Rich Russillo: The ring is beginning to pile up with weapons, which can be a disadvantage to the person in control!
James Peters: That’s right. It’s giving your opponent more ammo! But Limmy Monaghan doesn’t care! He is blinded by rage and hatred for Xander at this point! Letting that fuel his actions!
Rich Russillo: Limmy enters the ring, and leans that ladder up against the ropes before approaching Xander! Xander has risen to all fours, and Limmy Monaghan stands him up! LIFTING PAYNE ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! HE HAS HIM UP FOR THE EXCALIBUR!
James Peters: LIMMY’S GOING FOR THE DEATH VALLEY DRIVER ON THAT LADDER- BUT XANDER PAYNE SLIPS OUT BEHIND HIM! AND WHIPS LIMMY TOWARD THE ROPES!
Rich Russillo: SENDING HIM UP AND OVERHEAD WITH A BACK BODY DROP ONTO THE LADDER! :yikes:
James Peters: YIKES! MONAGHAN HIT HARD! LITERALLY BOUNCING OFF THE LADDER FROM IMPACT!
Rich Russillo: AND HEAR THE SCREAMS OF LIMMY MONAGHAN! HIS PAIN HEARD ECHOING THROUGHOUT THE ARENA!
(Xander doubles over, knocking the cobwebs out his head as Limmy Monaghan arches his back in pain.)
James Peters: Xander Payne is hurt. That part is evident. But he won’t stop himself until the job is done, continuing to push forward on Limmy!
Rich Russillo: Xander pulls Limmy back up- BUT LIMMY STILL HAS FIGHT LEFT WITHIN HIM! SMASHING XANDER WITH A FOREARM!
James Peters: THOUGH, IT CLEARLY DIDN’T HAVE THAT USUAL UMPH BEHIND IT! XANDER STAGGERS SLIGHTLY BEFORE HE BATTLES BACK WITH ONE OF HIS OWN!
Rich Russillo: FOREARM FROM XANDER- AND THERE’S A FOREARM FROM LIMMY IN TOW! XANDER! LIMMY! XANDER! LIMMY! LIMMY! LIMMY! LIMMY STARTS TO LAND FOREARM AFTER FOREARM! DROPPING BOMBS ON XANDER PAYNE!
James Peters: AND XANDER IS REELING- POSSIBLY TO A POINT WHERE HE’S OUT ON HIS FEET! LIMMY RUNS OFF THE ROPES!
Rich Russillo: BUT XANDER POPS HIM IN THE AIR FOR A DEVASTATING POWERBOMB! LAST SEDATION PLANTS LIMMY MONAGHAN IN THE CENTER!
James Peters: BUT OF COURSE, XANDER ISN’T GOING FOR A COVER! NEITHER MAN HAS THROUGHOUT THIS MATCH! WANTING TO COMPLETELY ANNIHILATE THE OTHER!
Rich Russillo: ITS UNSANCTIONED FOR A REASON! THIS WAS NEVER GOING TO BE PRETTY!
(The wheels begin to turn in Xander Payne’s head before he rolls out the ring, reaching under the ring where he pulls out a reinforced steel chair, sliding into the ring with it.)
James Peters: And a new weapon has been introduced into this match! Xander Payne has retrieved a REINFORCED STEEL CHAIR!
Persephone: I’m interested to see what he conjures up.
(Xander stalks Limmy, who slowly rises to both knees. Xander bangs the steel chair down onto the mat.)
Xander Payne: (off-mic) This is for Peyton.
Rich Russillo: XANDER RAISES THAT STEEL CHAIR HIGH! GOING TO CRACK LIMMY MONAGHAN IN THE SKULL WITH IT!
James Peters: BUT LIMMY BLOCKS IT! GETTING BOTH HANDS UP TO GRAB THAT STEEL CHAIR!
Rich Russillo: AND LIMMY STARES DIRECTLY INTO THE EYES OF XANDER PAYNE! RISING BACK TO HIS FEET!
James Peters: BUT XANDER CONNECTS WITH A KICK TO THE GUT! LIMMY DOUBLES OVER, AND XANDER PLACES THE CHAIR DOWN! SPIKING LIMMY ONTO IT WITH A DDT!!
(Xander rises to a knee, and looks down at Limmy Monaghan as blood starts to form on his head too.)
Rich Russillo: It appears that Xander Payne won’t be alone in dawning a crimson mask for this match as Limmy Monaghan has been busted open!
(Xander wipes his hand across Limmy’s forehead, and rubs it across his shirt.)
Persephone: Gross. His shirt is so big. I bet it’s a 4XL.
Rich Russillo: Xander Payne is definitely taking great pleasure into tonight.
James Peters: He has Limmy Monaghan right where he wants him, and that’s at his mercy.
(Limmy continues lying motionless in the center before Xander turns his attention over to the ladder.)
James Peters: Xander has his eyes on that ladder. The same ladder he back body dropped Limmy onto.
Persephone: What’s going through his head? Seriously, Xander must have intense CTE at this moment! :mjlol2:
(Xander sets the ladder up, having one side face the corner before he approaches Monaghan, wrapping the reinforced steel chair around his head and neck area.)
James Peters; Oh no, I really don’t like this!
Persephone: I do! Cmon! Break his FUCKING neck!
Rich Russillo: I believe that’s the plan as Xander has gone out to the apron, and climbs to the top turnbuckle before he ascends higher up the rungs!
James Peters: Xander has Limmy sprawled out on the canvas, going to deliver some sort of move from high up-
Rich Russillo: No way.
James Peters: No way is right. I almost can’t believe it myself, Rich! Limmy Monaghan is showing signs of life!
(Xander looks down, shocked that Limmy was able to recover so quickly, having removed that steel chair from around his head. Limmy has risen to all fours, and begins dragging himself up the ladder!)
Rich Russillo: LIMMY IS FIGHTING THROUGH WHATEVER PAIN HE’S IN RIGHT NOW! ALL IN HIS PURSUIT OF XANDER!
James Peters: BUT REMEMBER, HE HAS THE HIGHER GROUND, AND TAKES ADVANTAGE OF IT, GRABBING HOLD OF MONAGHAN’S HAIR, AND SMASHING HIM FACE FIRST INTO A RUNG ON THE LADDER!
Rich Russillo: SOMEHOW, LIMMY IS STILL HANGING ON, AND XANDER PULLS LIMMY UP! HOOKING HIM FOR A SUPERPLEX TO THE OUTSIDE! :whoa:
James Peters: I DON’T EVEN WANNA THINK ABOUT THE SPLAT BOTH MEN WILL MAKE OUT THERE!
Persephone: I can’t look- oh, what am I saying? Yes, I can!
Rich Russillo: XANDER IS WILLING TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF IF IT MEANS PAIN UPON LIMMY MONAGHAN!
James Peters: BUT LIMMY IS BATTLING BACK! LIMMY IS BATTLING BACK WITH SHOTS TO THE RIB CAGE!
Persephone: NO!!
Rich Russillo: AND IS GOING TO SHIFT THE MOMENTUM ON XANDER WITH A SUPERPLEX OFF THE LADDER! BOTH MEN HITTING HARD IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! :damn:
James Peters: XANDER IS DOWN! LIMMY IS DOWN! BOTH MEN ARE SPENT! THE RING HAS BEEN LITTERED WITH WEAPONS! SHOWING THE LENGTHS THEY’VE GONE IN TONIGHT’S UNSANCTIONED MATCH!
Rich Russillo: WE’VE SEEN THE APPEARANCE OF A LADDER, A CHAIN, A TRASH CAN! THE LIST GOES ON AND ON!
James Peters: I’M BEGINNING TO QUESTION HOW MUCH EITHER MAN HAVE LEFT!
Rich Russillo: WELL, JUST WHEN WE THINK THAT, THEY BEGIN TO SHOW THERE’S MORE LEFT IN THE TANK!
James Peters: LIMMY IS THE FIRST ONE STIRRING, AND CRAWLS OVER TO THAT STEEL CHAIR XANDER INTRODUCED!
Rich Russillo: LIMMY USES THE CHAIR FOR ASSISTANCE IN GETTING TO A KNEE BEFORE HE STANDS IT UP IN THE CENTER!
(Xander has gotten up to all fours, and Limmy approaches… dragging Xander over, and placing his head on the seat.)
James Peters: LIMMY RUNS OFF THE ROPES- BUT XANDER POPS TO HIS FEET IN TIME TO DELIVER A SUPERKICK!
Persephone: I’ve never seen Xander move that fast before! What if that causes a massive heart attack before this match ends? :lupe:. I can literally hear the cholesterol sloshing through his heart at this point.
James Peters: WELL, HIS CAREER WAS IN PERIL!
Rich Russillo; LIMMY STAGGERS BACK AGAINST THE ROPES BEFORE, AND GROGGILY REBOUNDS OFF INTO THE CLUTCHES OF XANDER!
James Peters: XANDER PULLS LIMMY INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION! GOING TO SLAM HIM ONTO THAT CHAIR- BUT LIMMY HOISTS XANDER UP IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY!
Rich Russillo: EXCALIBUR!!!
James Peters: DEATH VALLEY DRIVER ONTO THE SEAT OF THAT CHAIR!!
(Due to its reinforced nature, the chair has no give, and doesn’t break. Instead, falling onto its back and Xander begins crawling to the nearby corner.)
James Peters: BUT SOMEHOW, XANDER PAYNE IS STILL KICKING! EVEN AFTER SUCH A DEVASTATING MANEUVER ON THAT CHAIR! BUT IF THERE’S SURPRISE FROM LIMMY, HE ISN’T SHOWING IT!
Rich Russillo: LIMMY PUSHES THE CHAIR OUT THE WAY, AND CHARGES AT PAYNE IN THE CORNER! BUT XANDER SENDS LIMMY UP AND OVER TO THE OUTSIDE WITH A BACK BODY DROP-
James Peters: NO! LIMMY CAUGHT HIMSELF ON THE APRON AS XANDER BEGINS RUNNING OFF THE ROPES- SPEAR!! XANDER JUST DOVE THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A SPEAR ONTO LIMMY OFF THE APRON!!
**CRASH!!**
Rich Russillo: AND BOTH MEN GO CRASHING THROUGH THAT TABLE LIMMY HAD PROPPED UP EARLIER ON THE BARRICADE!
Persephone: :roman:
James Peters: BOTH MEN WENT CRASHING THROUGH, BUT LET’S BE HONEST, LIMMY TOOK THE BRUNT OF THAT!
Rich Russillo: And Xander Payne is pulling Limmy Monaghan from out that rubble.
James Peters: Guys, Limmy may be out.
Rich Russillo: He’s barely moved since crashing through that table.
James Peters: And all Xander Payne has to do is roll Limmy back into the ring. If he can cover him, this match is likely over.
(Xander goes to roll Limmy back into the ring after successfully directing him to the apron, but before he does so… Xander turns his head over to the steel steps…)
James Peters: Xander- Xander, cmon! You have the man beat- NO, NO, NO!
Rich Russillo: XANDER SENDS LIMMY INTO THE RING STEPS! DISLODGING THEM FROM THE RINGPOST COMPLETELY!
James Peters: I SHOULD’VE EXPECTED THIS! I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN XANDER WASN’T GOING TO TAKE THE WIN! NOT AFTER EVERYTHING WE’VE SEEN FROM BOTH TONIGHT!
Rich Russillo: IT’S NOT ABOUT WINNING! IT’S ABOUT MAKING SURE THE OTHER ONE CAN LONGER STAND! COMPRISING THE OTHER TO A PERMANENT END!
James Peters: LIMMY ISNT MOVING AFTER COLLIDING INTO THOSE STEPS! LYING PRONE ON THE OUTSIDE, AND XANDER DRAGS HIM BACK TO HIS FEET IN A FRONT FACELOCK!
Rich Russillo: NOW, XANDER IS DIRECTING LIMMY TOWARDS THE RING BEFORE ROLLING HIM BACK INSIDE!
James Peters: XANDER PAYNE HAS CRUEL INTENTIONS IN MIND AS HE GOES DIGGING UNDERNEATH THE APRON! PULLING OUT A BLACK SACK!
Persephone: Ooh, I wonder what’s in it!
(Xander places the sack underneath the bottom turnbuckle in the corner.)
Rich Russillo: I imagine we’ll find out shortly! But for right now, Xander Payne has turned his attention back to those steel steps!
James Peters: Xander removes the top step, and slides it into the ring! Meanwhile, Limmy has no idea what awaits him as he rises to a knee, shaking the cobwebs out of his head!
Rich Russillo: Xander slides back into the ring, and lifts the steel step up above his head! DANGEROUSLY APPROACHING MONAGHAN WITH IT!
James Peters: BUT LIMMY COUNTERS WITH A DROP TOE HOLD! XANDER FALLS TO BOTH KNEES, HITTING FACE FIRST ON THAT STEEL STEP!
Rich Russillo: AND XANDER SIMPLY LIES THERE! MOTIONLESS! HEAD RESTING ON THAT STEP! MEANWHILE, LIMMY TAKES NOTICE! YOU CAN SEE THAT LOOK IN HIS EYE AS HE ROLLS OUT TO THE APRON!
Persephone: HURRY BEFORE HE MOVES!
James Peters: LIMMY IS CLIMBING TO THE TOP ROPE! DRAGGING HIMSELF UP THERE! XANDER IS BEGINNING TO STIR, BUT IT’S CLEAR WHAT LIMMY HAS IN MIND AS PAYNE STILL HOVERS OVER THOSE STEEL STEPS!
Rich Russillo: HE’S GOING FOR THE GENKI CANNON! THAT DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE BACK OF XANDER PAYNE’S HEAD! SANDWICHING HIM BETWEEN THE STEPS AND LIMMY’S BOOTS!
James Peters: LIMMY LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE! GENKI CANNON INCOMING!
Rich Russillo: CAUGHT! LIMMY GOT CAUGHT WITH A LAST SEDATION OUT OF MID AIR! A CATCHING POWERBOMB ONTO THE STEEL STEP!
James Peters: XANDER PAYNE IS STRUGGLING TO STAND, BUT STAGGERS HIS WAY TO THE CORNER AS LIMMY JUST LIES DEAD ALMOST ON THAT STEP!
(Payne collapses to all fours, and reaches underneath the bottom turnbuckle to retrieve the black sack from earlier. Xander empties it out onto the canvas, and reveals…)
James Peters: THATS- THATS HANDCUFF!
(Along with handcuffs, a key also spilled out. But Xander disregards that for now.)
Rich Russillo; WHAT THE HELL IS PLANNING TO DO WITH THOSE?!
Persephone: Duh. Handcuff him, idiot.
James Peters: Thanks, Persephone. Real insight.
Rich Russillo: Xander has those handcuffs, and approaches a limp Limmy Monaghan on that steel step to sit him up…
(Xander sits Limmy up off the step, and starts cuffing both hands behind his back.)
James Peters: AND THERE IT IS! LIMMY HAS BEEN CUFFED!
Rich Russillo: AND XANDER PAYNE STRIKES HIM WITH A RIGHT INTO THAT WOUND FROM EARLIER!
James Peters: LIMMY ROLLS OFF THE STEP AFTER GETTING ROCKED WITH THAT RIGHT HAND! AND XANDER PLACES HIS HEAD ON THE STEP!
Rich Russillo: OH MY GOD, LIMMY IS DEFENSELESS AS XANDER PAYNE GRABS THAT MODIFIED BASEBALL BAT! THAT THING HAS BARBED WIRE, NAILS, AND SPIKES IN IT!
James Peters: XANDER IS LINING LIMMY UP WHILE HIS HEAD REMAINS ON THAT BOTTOM STEP!
(Limmy looks up at Xander while on both knees with both hands tied behind. Limmy refuses to show fear, and stares a hole into Xander with intensity in his eyes.)
Limmy Monaghan: (off-mic) Do it.
Persephone: Is he crazy?!
James Peters: DON’T HAVE TO TELL PAYNE TWICE AS HE RAISES THE BAT HIGH! SLAMMING IT DOWN ONTO THE HEAD OF LIMMY!
Rich Russillo: EVADED! LIMMY EVADED!
James Peters: XANDER PAYNE IS IRATE AS LIMMY RISES BACK TO BOTH FEET! PAYNE CHARGES IN-
Rich Russillo: DIABLE JAMBE!
James Peters: BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE FROM LIMMY! **WITH** HANDCUFFS!
(Xander drops to a knee at the steel step, and Limmy inches his way to the corner after noticing the key. Once getting there, Limmy pulls his legs up over his hands, and frees himself.)
James Peters: AND JUST LIKE THAT, LIMMY IS FREE!
Persephone: :adpeek: The way Limmy worked those handcuffs is kind of intriguing. It reminds of something I heard Milli and Veena whispering about before Road to Redemption.
Rich Russillo: ???
Persephone: Someone really wrote a Limmy Monaghan fan fic book and PUBLISHED IT WITH AMAZON!!!
View post on imgur.com
James Peters: Well… the EAW Universe is a passionate bunch…
Persephone: :mjlol:
Rich Russillo: LIMMY QUICKLY CRAWLS OVER TO HIS SLEDGEHAMMER! GRABBING HIS WEAPON OF CHOICE! MEANWHILE, XANDER HAS RETRIEVED THAT BAT AS HE RISES TO HIS FEET! SLOWLY TURNING AROUND TO FACE LIMMY… WHO CLOSES IN!
Persephone: OOH!
James Peters: NEITHER MAN BEAT THE OTHER TO THE PUNCH! BOTH LIMMY AND XANDER CRACKED EACH OTHER IN THE SKULL WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE WEAPONS!
Rich Russillo: AND BOTH GO DOWN! LIMMY IS OUT! XANDER IS OUT! AND-
James Peters: IS THAT-
(Captain Charisma comes marching down to the ramp.)
Rich Russillo: IT IS! CAPTAIN CHARISMA! WHAT’S HE DOING HERE?!
(Captain Charisma makes his way over to the timekeeper’s area, and tells them something off-mic.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, DUE TO THE ORDERS OF CAPTAIN CHARISMA… THIS MATCH HAS BEEN RULED A NO CONTEST!
(The crowd reigns down with boos on Captain Charisma, who gestures for someone to come out from backstage, which turns out to be medical personnel. Rushing out for both Xander Payne and Limmy Monaghan, who haven’t moved since striking each other with their respective weapons.)
James Peters: Well, Captain Charisma may have made the unpopular decision, but it was the right decision. These two are in no condition to keep fighting.
Rich Russillo: Look at the blood lost from both men. Hell, Limmy Monaghan has a HOLE in his hand from that modified barbed wire bat!
Persephone: …this is bullshit.
(After stabilizing a bloody, battered, and bruised Xander Payne and Limmy Monaghan, the medics move them both onto stretchers. Rolling them to the back as the boos continue.)
James Peters: Tonight, not one pinfall was attempted. Their hatred exceeded the need to win. Wanting to end the other’s career.
Rich Russillo: But in doing so… perhaps they’ve ended their own.
(Xander and Limmy keep getting stretchered up the ramp as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(After a promotional ad for the Universal Women’s Championship match featuring Milli Banks defending against Raven Roberts plays, King of Elite returns.)
(The match graphic for the next bout is shown, causing a huge uproar of cheers from the fans…)

Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A SINGLES MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Dragonborn’ by Jeremy Soule began blaring through the speakers to a HUGE reaction of cheers as Brian Daniels sauntered out onto the stage with the cool, calm exterior of a learned veteran; he gave the crowd an appreciative nod of respect for the ovation before spreading his arms out wide and making his way down the ramp, tagging the fans as he went. His wrestling gear and entrance jacket were themed after the colors of the Kansas City Chiefs, which the legend proudly adorned himself with.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST! Hailing from New York City, New York, weighing in at 195 pounds… BRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELSSSSSSSSS!
Stew-O: Despite his controversial past, which he shares with his opponent tonight, Brian Daniels has been welcomed back to EAW with open arms from the fans in the audience!
Flannery McCoy: It’s not too surprising, given that Brian is actually maintaining the integrity of the sport and not throwing away all of his goodwill just because of a mid-life crisis!
Jake Mercer: Well, tonight, he’ll be facing off against a ghost of his past – although, I’m sure his opponent would call him the exact same thing in return, given how things have gotten more heated between them over the past few weeks of debating their pasts and their presents!
(‘Saint Pablo’ by Kanye West began blaring through the speakers to an equally huge reaction of boos by the audience; Cy Henderson walked out onto the stage with a smug grin plastered across his face as he chuckled at the volume of the reaction. He bobbed his head to Saint Pablo as he made his way down the ramp, ignoring the fans entirely as he walked towards the squared circle.)
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT! Hailing from New York City, New York, weighing in at 240 pounds… HE IS THE JUSTICE SEEKER, CYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENDERSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
Stew-O: There’s no love lost here between Cy Henderson and the fans, that’s for sure…
Flannery McCoy: Ever since Cy Henderson’s attitude adjustment from last year, I don’t think he has really cared about the fans at all. He’s entirely focused on building the future of his career, no matter how many bridges he ends up burning in the process.
Jake Mercer: That’s the price of a legacy, Flannery! Cy Henderson came to realize that all of the hold ups he had about maintaining the image of a respectable veteran were just holding him back, so he released himself and has achieved more success ever since!
Stew-O: Cy Henderson and Brian Daniels have entirely different philosophies when it comes to their renewed careers in EAW, but in this battle of ideologies between former friends, only ONE can come out with victory!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: And the match is underway! Officially underway, that is; however, neither Cy Henderson nor Brian Daniels has left their corners yet… simply put, the volume in the audience is DEAFENING right now!
Crowd: LET’S GO BRIAN! FUCK YOU CY! LET’S GO BRIAN! FUCK YOU CY! LET’S GO BRIAN! FUCK YOU CY! LET’S GO BRIAN! FUCK YOU CY!
Flannery McCoy: The fans are certainly letting their voices be heard tonight; the excitement is palpable! But can you blame them? Whatever you think about the man that Cy Henderson has become since his shocking turn last year, the fact of the matter remains that this was one of the most anticipated matches of the night through hype alone!
Jake Mercer: Cy Henderson and Brian Daniels, both historic legends and controversial ones at that, clashing in big 2025; the fans are excited for a reason! Of course, I’m rooting for the GOAT Cyclone all the way; the beard is nice, but I’m ride or die for the Justice Seeker!
Stew-O: Both wrestlers take a moment to soak in the reaction; Brian Daniels has an open grin on his face, and you can see the passion for the sport of professional wrestling in his eyes as he hears those cheers!
Flannery McCoy: Cy Henderson, on the other hand, looks a lot more bitter; his eyes tell the story, he’s looking at the audience as they make this deeply personal grudge match into a spectacle. But the fans can’t help it; this IS exactly as hyped as it should be!
Jake Mercer: It looks like both wrestlers snap back to reality, though, as they step out of their respective corners and begin slowly circling the ring, not breaking eye contact for a second; as personal as this feud may be, you don’t see either wrestler flying off the handle yet.
Stew-O: These are two seasoned veterans with more experience than many of the newer roster members’ experience combined! They’re trying to stay as calm and collected as they can, but it’s yet to be seen just how long that’ll be able to last!
Flannery McCoy: We have the aggressive and ruthless powerhouse in Cy Henderson facing off against the technical grappling mastermind in Brian Daniels; it’s difficult to predict who’ll be able to come out on top, because they both have strengths that can target each others’ weaknesses!
Stew-O: Brian Daniels can pick apart the limbs of Cy Henderson, rendering his power useless; however, Cy Henderson’s sheer strength can allow him to break out of many of Brian Daniels’ holds. It really is any man’s game in the ring tonight!
Flannery McCoy: They approach closer… closer… and boom, they’re locked up in the middle of the ring! This isn’t a typical lock up between regular competitors, though, you can feel the tension and deep-seeded hatred with the aggression being shown!
Jake Mercer: Ultimately, it’s hard to overpower a man like Cy Henderson, and he does end up forcefully pushing Brian Daniels back until he gets his back pressed up against the corner of the ring!
Stew-O: And Cy Henderson keeps pushing, bullying Brian against the turnbuckles even with Brian’s arms leaned against the ropes! The referee steps in to separate the two, and Cy Henderson gives a soft chuckle to himself with both hands raised–
Flannery McCoy: OH! The disrespect! Cy Henderson pretended to accept the breakup and started backing off, but he lunged forward and caught Brian Daniels off guard with a slap!
Jake Mercer: Brian Daniels definitely did not like that one bit, that’s for sure, but he shakes his head and glares at Cy Henderson as he steps back out of the corner even more invigorated than before!
Stew-O: Cy Henderson is exuding smugness right now as he looks to engage Brian Daniels yet again… and they lock u– WOAH!
Flannery McCoy: One second of locking up before Brian Daniels transitioned from the collar and elbow tie up to a rear waist lock behind the Justice Seeker, but he immediately breaks that by reaching forward and grabbing the right wrist of Cy Henderson and yanking it back!
Jake Mercer: He transitions that into a hammer lock which he wastes no time in wrenching as hard as he can, instantly wiping the smug grin off Cy Henderson’s face and replacing it with a grimace of pain!
Stew-O: Cy Henderson doesn’t take it lying down, though, as he immediately arches his body to the side and reaches behind himself with his free left arm to wrap it around the head of Brian Daniels!
Flannery McCoy: With that grip on the head of Brian, Cy wrenches forward, pretty much plucking Brian Daniels out of that hammer lock position and forcing him into a side headlock! But he doesn’t follow the Brian strategy of cycling into worse submission holds; there’s nothing elegant or pretty about the stiff knee smash that Cy launches into the midsection of his opponent!
Jake Mercer: That gets Brian Daniels to double over, and Cy Henderson capitalizes on the vulnerability by tucking Brian’s head between his quads before reaching down and wrapping his arms around the waist of the dragonborn!
Stew-O: With that grip, he flips Brian up as he hoists him into a powerbomb position! We don’t often see Cy Henderson take this approach, but given where his eyes just drifted over to, I think we’re about to see something deadly!
Flannery McCoy: Cy Henderson takes aim at the corner of the ring before he begins running towards it, ready to launch Brian– BUT BRIAN IS ABLE TO JUMP OVER CY’S HEAD AND ESCAPE THE BUCKLE BOMB!
Jake Mercer: Not only that, but he launched a kick backwards as he jumped off, effectively thrust kicking Cy Henderson chest-first against the top turnbuckle! That was enough to daze the Justice Seeker for the time being, while Brian Daniels managed to land on his feet after getting out of harm’s way!
Stew-O: Expertly performed evasion technique by Brian Daniels there, who turns around and wastes no time in taking advantage after getting out of the way of Cyclone’s attempted buckle bomb! He rushes over to his opponent at the corner and turns him around to have his back to the turnbuckle!
Flannery McCoy: From that position, he begins lighting up the chest of Cy Henderson with a flurry of sharp chops! You can see that even with the size difference, the sheer ferocity of a man like Brian Daniels is a deep threat no matter who ends up on the other side of the ring from him!
Jake Mercer: The crowd is chanting their approval along with each of the chops landing on the Justice Seeker’s chest, which is getting redder by the second! Brian looks like he has no limit to the amount of energy he has tonight; he just keeps going and going like a damn machine gun!
Stew-O: OH! But Cy Henderson wasn’t going to just endure an endless stream of chops until the end of the match; he just snapped right back with a heavy handed forearm smash of his own, landing right across the jaw of the Dragonborn!
Flannery McCoy: That forearm smash managed to make Brian Daniels stagger a few steps back; he was clearly in the zone during those chops, so getting interrupted so abruptly and so brutally snapped him out of it in a painful way!
Jake Mercer: Cy Henderson narrows his eyes and scowls at the Dragonborn as he clenches his fist and makes his way forward towards him, suddenly picking up speed and SPINNING– HE’S GOING FOR THE CYCLONE LARIAT OUT OF NOWHERE!
Stew-O: But Brian Daniels had it scouted! I mean, of course he had it scouted; these two have more history with each other than most wrestlers have history in EAW at all! Brian Daniels was able to duck underneath the Cyclone Lariat, which brought him right back in front of the corner!
Flannery McCoy: Without warning, Brian Daniels quickly scaled the corner like a cat scaling a tree, before turning around to face Cy Henderson, who himself turned around to look up and find the Dragonborn in quite the unexpected place!
Jake Mercer: Before Cy Henderson was able to react, Brian Daniels launched himself off the top turnbuckle with a flying CROSSBODY! IT LANDS RIGHT ON TARGET AS HE CRASHES INTO CY HENDERSON!
Stew-O: Wait… WAIT! Cy Henderson just rolled through the crossbody and made it back to his knees with Brian Daniels caught in a scoop slam position! How in the world did Cy Henderson manage to do that?! The power on display by the Justice Seeker is nothing short of incredible, if not downright ludicrous!
Flannery McCoy: Whether you believe it or not, Cy Henderson just did that! He turns himself around to face away from the majority of the ring, before he lends forward and launches Brian Daniels behind him with a fallaway slam!
Jake Mercer: Brian Daniels is LAUNCHED back with that fallaway slam and lands with a painful thud as he gets sent tumbling across the length of the squared circle, with his nemesis in Cy Henderson rising up menacingly to his feet and glaring down at the Dragonborn with malicious intent!
Stew-O: He’s measuring Brian Daniels up, and Brian Daniels is quite quick in terms of forcing himself back to his feet! Both men are taking a beating, but they’ve certainly got a hell of a lot still left in the tank; what Brian did not happen to do, though, is get back to his feet while facing Cy, and that is a big mistake!
Flannery McCoy: The moment Brian Daniels turned around to see Cy Henderson rushing his way, it was too late; Cy launched himself off his feet and crashed into Brian Daniels with a sudden shoulder block, which knocked Brian Daniels off his feet and down to the canvas!
Jake Mercer: Brian Daniels, nevertheless, remains persistent as he tries scrambling back up as quickly as he can; Cy Henderson appears to be a believer of the phrase “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, because he hits him with yet another shoulder block to deal some additional damage!
Stew-O: Getting knocked down to the canvas thrice in a row like that looks to be taking its toll now, because Brian Daniels is not as quick to get back to his feet as he was the past few times; Cy Henderson notices this and dons a sneer as he makes his way to his fallen former comrade, looking to turn things up a notch!
Flannery McCoy: Oh, and the disrespect continues here! Cy Henderson kneels down and grabs a fistful of the beard of Brian Daniels, using that as a grip by which he’s pulling the Dragonborn back to his feet!
Jake Mercer: That’s that ruthless aggression we’ve come to see from Cy Henderson over the course of the past year, and I for one LOVE seeing it! PULL IT HARDER!
Stew-O: :ayo:
Flannery McCoy: :ayo:
Jake Mercer: You heard me. Anyways, Cy Henderson gets Brian Daniels back to his feet in a dazed position, and he reaches down to grab a hold of his leg just as he has a grip on his head! What’s Cy Henderson planning to do here?!
Stew-O: He uses those gripping points to hoist Brian Daniels onto his shoulders… and then overhead presses him! Cy Henderson has Brian Daniels high up in the air via a military lift, and we’ve seen this before from Cy! HE’S GOING FOR THE MILITARY PRESS POWERSLA–
Flannery McCoy: OR NOT! BRIAN DANIELS MANAGED TO WRIGGLE ENOUGH TO SLIP OUT OF THE GRIP OF THE JUSTICE SEEKER, BUT AS HE FELL DOWN FROM THE MILITARY LIFT, HE THREW HIS ARMS FORWARD AND LATCHED ONTO CY HENDERSON!
Jake Mercer: OH NO! HE LATCHED ON WITH A FACELOCK!
Stew-O: NOT JUST A FACELOCK! BRIAN DIDN’T GIVE CY HENDERSON A MOMENT TO DEFEND HIMSELF BEFORE SHIFTING HIS ARM TO WRAP AROUND THE JUSTICE SEEKER’S THROAT; BRIAN DANIELSON IS HANGING ONTO CY HENDERSON VIA A GUILLOTINE CHOKEHOLD!
Crowd: QUR3EHGWOIEURGHOWIEURHGOWIURGH
Flannery McCoy: The crowd was displeased with Cy’s displays of dominance, but now they’re back to good spirits with Brian Daniels turning things around in his trademark technical way! Cy Henderson is in a bad position right now for sure, and you can tell by the way he’s flailing his arms and slamming his fists against the back of Brian Daniels as he tries to force him to let go!
Jake Mercer: The oxygen is cut off from his brain, do you THINK he’d be feeling good about that? Of course he’s in a bad position, but he’s CYCLONE! He’ll be able to get out of it!
Stew-O: Are you sure? It looks like his movements are starting to slow down– I think Brian Daniels may have actually locked this maneuver in perfectly, because Cy doesn’t seem to have an answer to it and things are only getting worse as the seconds go by!
Flannery McCoy: Cy Henderson may be close to passing out, with the referee checking in on–
Jake Mercer: SEE! I TOLD YOU! CY HENDERSON JUST BROKE OUT INTO A RUN AS HE RUSHES FORWARD! HOW IS HE ABLE TO SEE WHERE HE’S GOING?!
Stew-O: THAT’S RING AWARENESS BY A TRUE LEGEND OF THE SQUARED CIRCLE! HE KNEW EXACTLY WHERE THE CORNER OF THE RING WAS, AND HE RUSHED INTO IT FULL FORCE TO RAM BRIAN DANIELS BACK-FIRST INTO IT!
Flannery McCoy: Somehow, though, Brian Daniels tanked the blow and didn’t let go! How resilient is that guy?!
Jake Mercer: TOO resilient! But Cy Henderson is undeterred as he turns around and grips onto the body of Brian Daniels as tightly as he can! Without a moment to waste, Cy Henderson HURLS Brian Daniels onto the canvas with a VICIOUS spinebuster!
Stew-O: It looks like the guillotine chokehold did its job, though, because Cy Henderson falls back against the bottom turnbuckle the moment he connects with that spinebuster! Both men are down now after that violent exchange, and I’m not sure who got the worst of it! Brian Daniels definitely absorbed the most physical impact, but he was also choking the LIFE out of Cy Henderson for a considerable amount of time!
Flannery McCoy: It’s taking a few moments, but it looks like Brian Daniels starts staggering up first while Cy Henderson is still recovering in the seated position against the bottom turnbuckle! Brian arches his back as he rises, still feeling the pain from that bad landing, but he’ll have to push the pain aside and think about it later. Not everyone gets the opportunity to catch Cy in a vulnerable state like this, and Brian is absolutely looking to capitalize on it!
Jake Mercer: He backs his way up to the corner on the opposite side of the ring before breaking out into a sprint as he charges at Cy Henderson, looking to launch himself at the Justice Seeker with a basement dropkick, but he stops himself at the right moment because Cy Henderson just rolled himself out of the ring from underneath the bottom rope! What amazing evasive maneuvering!
Stew-O: Yeah, sure, if that’s what you want to call it. Brian looks discouraged for a moment, but then he gets a smirk of his own as he turns around and rushes over to the ropes! Cy Henderson is taking this moment to recuperate outside, but he doesn’t see it coming when Brian Daniels rebounds off the ropes and rushes to the side of the ring where Cy is!
Flannery McCoy: By the time Cy sees Brian coming, it’s too late; Brian is already in the air, having launched himself as a weapon through the ropes, hurtling towards Cyclone with a suicide dive!
Jake Mercer: The suicide dive connects and knocks Cy against our announcer table! HI CY!
Stew-O: I think he has more important things to take care of right now than a fanboy. Well, he’d probably prefer your fanboying right now, because Brian is looking to HURT this man! Cy clutches his back as he staggers away, trying to create some distance; Brian has no interest in letting that happen, though!
Flannery McCoy: Woah! Brian Daniels just leaped onto our announcer tables as Cy heads in the opposite direction! The Dragonborn runs across the announcer tables and leaps onto the barricades before running across them too! He makes it around to where Cy is before LAUNCHING himself!
Jake Mercer: MISSILE DROPKICK OFF THE BARRICADE RIGHT TO THE CHEST OF CY HENDERSON! The missile dropkick’s impact was so powerful that it launched Cy back, causing him to collide with the massive steel steps hard enough to knock them out of their positioning!
Stew-O: Brian Daniels staggers back to his feet after that massive missile dropkick and makes his way over to Cy Henderson, who is ABSOLUTELY dazed right now after the sheer impact of that maneuver! Brian reaches down and grabs both of Cy’s wrists, engaging a double wrist lock before he leans over and yells in Cy Henderson’s face!
Brian Daniels: I’M GONNA KICK YOUR FUCKING HEAD IN!
Flannery McCoy: A WAR CRY BY BRIAN DANIELS BEFORE HE BEGINS… DOING EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID! With that double wrist lock, he’s kicking the absolute daylights out of Cy Henderson! For what it’s worth, Cy Henderson is doing the best he can to dodge some of the kicks by head movements, but a large amount of Brian’s kicks are landing!
Jake Mercer: Brian Daniels continues until it looks like Cy has had enough, at which point the Dragonborn forcefully drags Cy Henderson back into the ring and pulls him away from the ropes before hooking his legs!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: BUT CY HENDERSON MANAGED TO KICK OUT, EVEN AFTER ALL OF THAT! For all of his attitude issues, Cy Henderson’s RESILIENCE is one thing that even the greatest elitists of today know and fear! This is one of the most difficult men to put down, and that shows when you realize just how few have done it since his return to the ring!
Flannery McCoy: You’re preaching to the choir here, Stew, because nobody is more aware of that resilience in the company today than Brian Daniels! Brian never once doubted the ABILITY of Cy Henderson, he simply does not like what his IDENTITY has become in recent times!
Jake Mercer: Well, he’ll just have to deal with it! Uh oh, I know I said deal with it, but I didn’t mean it like that; Brian Daniels is measuring Cy Henderson up from the other side of the ring, and I don’t think he’s going for any minor maneuver here!
Stew-O: Sure enough, Cy Henderson does eventually stagger back up to his feet, and when he does so, Brian Daniels springs into action as he rushes forward! He launches himself off his feet and GOES FOR VALAR MORGHULIS! THE SINGLE LEG RUNNING HIGH KNEE, ONE OF BRIAN DANIELS’ LEGENDARY SIGNATURE MANEUVERS–
Flannery McCoy: BUT CY HENDERSON HAD IT SCOUTED! THESE TWO KNOW EACH OTHER LIKE THE BACK OF THEIR HAND! CY MANAGED TO SIDE STEP IT JUST ENOUGH TO LAUNCH A BIG BOOT OF HIS OWN, COLLIDING WITH BRIAN WHO LAUNCHED HIMSELF AT CY WITH EVERYTHING HE HAS!
Jake Mercer: The sheer impact of that big boot sends Brian Daniels crashing down into the canvas… BUT HE’S NOT THERE FOR LONG! CY HENDERSON HAS A BETTER PLAN FOR HIM THAN LETTING HIM TAKE A NAP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MATCH!
Stew-O: Cy Henderson once again drags Brian Daniels to his feet, and with more struggle this time, he once again begins to hoist Brian Daniels up onto his shoulders! And from his shoulders, he presses Brian Daniels high up into the air and goes for the military press powerslam YET AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: This time……. IT CONNECTS! MILITARY PRESS POWERSLAM!
Jake Mercer: BUT CY DOESN’T GO FOR THE PIN! WHY NOT?!
Stew-O: BECAUSE HE’S NOT DONE YET, JAKE! HE DRAGS BRIAN DANIELS BACK UP ONE MORE TIME AND HOISTS HIM UP WITH A BODY SLAM SCOOP! HE TURNS HIM UPSIDE DOWN AND… OH MY GOD!
Flannery McCoy: PHANTOM DEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATH! CYCLONE’S SIGNATURE MICHINOKU DRIVER CONNECTS AS HE DRIVES THE HEAD OF BRIAN DANIELS INTO THE CANVAS WITH NO REMORSE WHATSOEVER! AND THIS TIME, CY HENDERSON IS GOING FOR THE PIN! THAT HAS TO BE IT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Jake Mercer: HOW?! HOW?! HOW?! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS BRIAN DANIELS MADE OF, FOR HIM TO HAVE KICKED OUT OF THAT AFTER TAKING PHANTOM DEATH FROM CY HENDERSON?!
Stew-O: There’s TWO legends in that ring, Jake, and you’ll need to learn to respect Brian too, because rooting against him is just as difficult a task as it is to root against Cy! Keep in mind, Brian still hasn’t lost a match since he came back, and he’s not looking to start tonight!
Flannery McCoy: With that being said, Cy Henderson is looking more and more frustrated as this ghost of the past just won’t seem to go away no matter what he does! He grits his teeth with that frustration as he gets more memories of just how tough of a fighter Brian Daniels really is, and you see in the eyes of the Justice Seeker that he is ready to unleash anything and everything needed to win this match, even if it means BREAKING Brian Daniels in half!
Jake Mercer: Cy Henderson slowly staggers to his feet, bringing Brian Daniels with him, before he kneels down and drapes Brian Daniels over his shoulders… IN AN ARGENTINE BACKBREAKER RACK!
Stew-O: OH BOY! WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE’S GOT PLANNED HERE, BECAUSE WE’VE SEEN SO MANY MATCHES END IN CY’S FAVOR AFTER THIS CONNECTS! HE’S GOING FOR IT!
Flannery McCoy: RISING TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE! THE BURNING HAMMER– WAIT, NO, BRIAN DANIELS JUST MANAGED TO SLIP OUT OF THAT ARGENTINE BACKBREAKER RACK AT THE LAST MOMENT, ENDING UP BEHIND CY HENDERSON!
Jake Mercer: NOT ONLY THAT, HE PULLED CY HENDERSON’S HEAD BACK WITH HIM, FORCING IT BACK WITH AN IMPROMPTU SITOUT NECKBREAKER ON THE JUSTICE SEEKER! SOMEHOW, BRIAN DANIELS HAS AVERTED DISASTER ONCE AGAIN, AND HE MANAGED TO GET ANOTHER ONE UP ON CY HENDERSON IN THE PROCESS!
Stew-O: Cy Henderson definitely saw the end of the match in his grasp there, so he’s even more dazed now after having been caught off guard by Brian Daniels’ timely escape and reversal maneuver in the form of the neckbreaker!
Flannery McCoy: Cy Henderson is still STANDING, though, but he’s reeling from the damage; meanwhile, Brian Daniels is struggling, but doing all he can to scramble up and take advantage of the opportunity that he just created! Both of these wrestlers have put each other through hell thus far, that’s probably putting it lightly, but you can see the exertion and the damage starting to weigh on them!
Jake Mercer: Nevertheless, neither man is willing to just fall over because this victory would mean so much to EITHER one of them! Whichever one wins gets to uphold his side of the conflicting ideology war up, and he gets a massive boost to his momentum at the same time!
Stew-O: Right now, Brian Daniels has somehow managed to seize the reins of the match yet again, and he’s looking to follow through on this advantageous opportunity as he rushes over to the ropes while Cy is still reeling from the neckbreaker!
Flannery McCoy: Brian Daniels makes it to the ropes and leaps onto the middle ones before SPRINGBOARDING off of them and twisting himself in mid-air as he hurtles towards Cy Henderson at high speed! He CONNECTS with the diving high knee to the head of Cy Henderson, which is enough to drop Cy Henderson to his knees as he clutches his head in pain!
Jake Mercer: Brian Daniels scrambles back to his feet and sees the position that Cy Henderson is in! Almost as though it were muscle memory, Brian Daniels snaps into place with the right positioning for something big here!
Stew-O: He rushes forward towards Cy Henderson and launches himself at the head of the Justice Seeker BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ONE OF HIS SIGNATURE MOVES, THE KINGSLAYER! KINGSLAYER CONNECTS! THE AXE KICK SHINING WIZARD LANDS RIGHT ON TARGET, AND THAT MOVE IS ENOUGH TO TOPPLE CY HENDERSON DOWN TO THE CANVAS ENTIRELY!
Flannery McCoy: THE WAY THE MOVE LANDED, BRIAN DANIELS ENDED UP RIGHT ON TOP OF CY HENDERSON, AND HE REACHES OVER TO HOOK THE LEG JUST AS THE REFEREE SLIDES OVER TO COUNT THE SHOULDERS BEING DOWN AGAINST THE CANVAS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Jake Mercer: AHAHA! THIS TIME, CY HENDERSON WAS THE ONE TO KICK OUT! YOU CAN’T PUT DOWN THE GOAT LIKE THAT, EVEN IF YOU ARE SOMEONE AS LEGENDARY AS BRIAN DANIELS!
Stew-O: For the love of god, man, give it a rest! Just as tired as we are of you, it looks like Brian is starting to get tired of Cy Henderson managing to endure through all of the punishment he sends his way; with all due credit to the two competitors that Brian Daniels has faced thus far, we haven’t seen Brian Daniels get pushed this far in a LONG time!
Flannery McCoy: If there’s anyone that can bring out the best in either of these competitors, it’s each other! As much as both of them hate the other for what they have become in 2025, you can see the type of chemistry they have in the ring, even if it does manifest in the form of a match against each other rather than alongside each other!
Jake Mercer: I can’t see the tag team ever re-forming, but hey, a match between them is the next best thing!
Stew-O: I don’t know how much longer it can last, though, because Brian Daniels has the same glare on his face that Cy Henderson had earlier this match; it looks like Brian Daniels has had just about enough of Cy’s kick outs, so he’s ready to really knock him out for good!
Flannery McCoy: He’s measuring Cy Henderson up as he signals for the end, and I think all fans of Brian Daniels know exactly what he’s aiming for here with this positioning!
Jake Mercer: Slowly but surely, Cy Henderson forcefully pushes himself off of the canvas and eventually staggers back to his feet, looking just as pained and exhausted as Brian Daniels is!
Stew-O: However, the moment Cy Henderson made it back to his feet, Brian Daniels IMMEDIATELY WENT FOR IT! HE LAUNCHED THE CAUSTIC ECHO TOWARDS THE TEMPLE OF CY HENDERSON, HE’S GOING FOR HIS FINISHING ROUNDHOUSE KICK!
Flannery McCoy: BUT NO! CY HENDERSON MANAGED TO ACTUALLY CATCH THE FOOT BEFORE THE IMPACT COULD BE MADE, STOPPING BRIAN DANIELS IN HIS TRACKS! Yet another example of these two having everything about the other scouted out like it was as easy as breathing air!
Jake Mercer: Cy Henderson isn’t in a reminiscing mood, though, as he immediately drops the foot forcefully before throwing Brian Daniels’ arm up in the air and hoisting him up! He’s not wasting any time, he’s looking to PLANT Brian Daniels and maybe even knock him out with a classic URANAGE!
Stew-O: BUT BRIAN DANIELS WASN’T GOING TO GO DOWN ALONE! MID-URANAGE, HE GRABBED HOLD OF CY HENDERSON’S HEAD AND BROUGHT HIM DOWN WITH HIM IN A MODIFIED JUMPING DDT TO THE JUSTICE SEEKER!
Flannery McCoy: BOTH WRESTLERS ARE DOWN, AND THE CROWD IS AT A FEVER PITCH! DESPITE EVERYTHING THAT HAS THROWN AT EACH OTHER, IT IS STILL ANYBODY’S GAME, BECAUSE BOTH OF THESE MEN ARE WILLING TO KILL AND REACH THE BRINK OF DEATH IF IT MEANS VICTORY BELONGS TO THEM!
Jake Mercer: It takes a while, and the referee even begins counting towards ten; however, the raucous roar of the crowd keeps the energy flowing in the arena, and soon enough Cy Henderson and Brian Daniels begin forcing their bodies to rise up to a kneeling position!
Stew-O: They’re putting the last bits of energy they have into this match, and they’re not going down without a FIGHT! They’re both at a kneeling position now, and they’ve begun throwing strikes of desperation at each other!
Flannery McCoy: Left jab! Right jab! Left! Right! Cy Henderson and Brian Daniels are going strike for strike in the center of the ring, and I can’t even tell which one of them is coming out on top in this exchange!
Crowd: BOO! YAY! BOO! YAY! BOO! YAY! BOO! YAY! BOO! YAY! BOO! YAY! BOO! YAY!
Jake Mercer: It seems evenly matched, but they’re starting to pick up the pace here as they slowly but surely make it back to their feet!
Stew-O: Cy Henderson breaks the strike fest and goes for a straight up lariat, but Brian Daniels was able to duck underneath and counter by spinning back around with a spinning elbow smash!
Flannery McCoy: That manages to daze Cy Henderson, and Brian Daniels immediately takes advantage by going for the DRAGON SHOUT! HE’S JUST GOING AT CY HENDERSON WITH EVERYTHING HE’S GOT, USING ALL RESERVE ENERGY! MORE ELBOWS, FOREARMS, KICKS AND BACKFISTS, HE’S THROWING HIS ENTIRE ARSENAL AT THE JUSTICE SEEKER!
Jake Mercer: I’m not sure how good of an idea that is, because he’s looking even more gassed than Cy Henderson now… but the Justice Seeker is in a bad place as well, all of those rapid-fire strikes have him just about ready to topple over!
Stew-O: One last time… BRIAN DANIELS MEASURES CY HENDERSON UP… AND HE’S CALLING FOR THE END!
Flannery McCoy: HE GOES FOR IT! CAUSTIC ECHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jake Mercer: OH MY GOD, NO! NO! CY HENDERSON JUST HAD A BURST OF ADRENALINE, DUCKING UNDERNEATH THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK AND RUSHING PAST BRIAN DANIELS AND TO THE ROPES!
Stew-O: BRIAN DANIELS THREW EVERYTHING HE HAD IN THAT ROUNDHOUSE KICK! HE’S OFF BALANCE AND TRYING TO REGAIN IT, ALL WHILE CY HENDERSON REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AND RUSHES BACK AT BRIAN!
Flannery McCoy: BRIAN TURNS BACK AROUND TO SEE CY HENDERSON COMING AT HIM, BUT IT’S TOO LATE–
Jake Mercer: CALAMITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Stew-O: CY HENDERSON’S RARELY SEEN GORE FINISHER CONNECTS! THE CALAMITY LANDED RIGHT ON TARGET! I CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT I’M SEEING! HE JUST GORED BRIAN DANIELS, SENDING HIM CRASHING DOWN INTO THE CANVAS, AND CY HENDERSON WENT DOWN WITH HIM!
Flannery McCoy: BUT CY HENDERSON’S ARM IS DRAPED OVER BRIAN DANIELS IN THE PROCESS! BRIAN’S SHOULDERS ARE ON THE GROUND! BOTH MEN MAY BE KNOCKED OUT, BUT THE REFEREE SEES ONE OF THEM THAT IS ACTUALLY PINNED, SO HE SLIDES IN RIGHT NEXT TO THEM! THE REFEREE BEGINS THE COUNT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(‘Saint Pablo’ by Kanye West begins blaring through the speakers to a loud set of boos; Cy Henderson has slayed the Dragonborn and got rid of the ghost of his past at long last. The referee slowly helps Cy Henderson get back to his feet to raise his arm in an exhausted victory.)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HERE IS YOUR WINNER! THE JUSTICE SEEKER… CYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! HEEEEEEEEENDERSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
Stew-O: Say what you will about Cy Henderson’s attitude, but one thing you cannot deny is that he is an absolute MONSTER in that ring!
Flannery McCoy: Both Brian Daniels and Cy Henderson put EVERYTHING they had into that match, and the difference between victory and defeat was practically a hair’s width!
Jake Mercer: But tonight, that victory belongs to none other than the man himself… CY HENDERSON!
(The video feed lingered as Cy Henderson looked down at the fallen body of his past comrade with an inscrutable expression on his face, before he turned around and continued celebrating his victory amidst the boos of the fans. The video feed slowly faded to black.)
(A commercial plays for Red Lobster, featuring Cy Henderson hitting a Rising Tide to an employee since they skimped on the lobster for their new Lobster and Shrimp Linguine.)

Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SET FOR ONE FALL!
(“Many Men” by 50 Cent plays as Chris Elite walks out and poses on the ramp wearing an all white attire as the crowd rains down boos on him. He looks around the historic Soldier Field chuckling at it as he makes his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM BROOKLYN, NEW YORK…WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS….”GAWD GIVEN GREATNESS”….CHHRISSSS ELLLITTTEEEE!!!
Flannery McCoy: Hall of Famer, former World Champion, the guy has pretty much done it all. He seems to have been lacking the confidence lately but I think me, everybody else, and even Chris himself don’t mean that because he can tear the house down anytime he wants and who knows, maybe he laid the perfect trap for Myles these past couple weeks. One way or another, Chris is going to show he’s still one of the top guys not only on the Dynasty brand, but this company.
(‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi blares throughout Soldier Field as Mykes makes his way out on the stage receiving another positive reaction as he paces back and forth on the stage for just a few seconds before finally he begins walking down the ramp, with his eyes dead set on Chris Elite in the ring.)
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT… FROM MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA…WEIGHING IN AT 225 POUNDS…“THE PEAK”… MYYYLLLLLEEESSSSS!!!!!
Stew-O: You talk about doing it all, this guy had done that plus more. Multi time World Champion and Hall of Famer at only the young age of 30. Has his whole career ahead of him. He poked Chris the past few weeks almost begging for this match but you have to wonder if that’s a mistake or just the fact he wasn’t buying what Chris was selling. One way or another this is going to be a clinic between two Hall of Famers!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: This matchup is underway, and man, this should be a clinic between two of the best wrestlers we have, not just on the Dynasty roster but in EAW as a whole. It took a lot of poking in order for this match to happen, and Chris told Myles to be careful what you wish for.
Flannery McCoy: Myles and Chris step out of their respective corners and come face to face with the crowd cheering in the background. Tensions are high between them… AND CHRIS CHUCKLES BEFORE THROWING A RIGHT HAND! NOW MYLES RETALIATES WITH SOME OF HIS OWN! THEY BEGIN GOING AT IT THROWING RIGHT HANDS REPEATEDLY AT THE OTHER!! The referee steps in to create a little bit of separation between the two.
Jake Mercer: Myles then moves the ref out the way and charges at Chris – BUT CHRIS COUNTERS SENDING HIM OUT OF THE RING WITH A BACK BODY DROP!
Stew-O: No! Myles is able to hang on… AND IT’S LIKE CHRIS HAD EYES IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AS HE DRILLS HIM IN THE HEAD WITH A PELE KICK, KNOCKING HIM OFF OF THE APRON! Chris looks over to the corner and climbs up it as Myles gets on his feet outside….AND CHRIS TAKES HIM OUT WITH A 450 CROSSBODY! RIGHT OUT THE GATE, CHRIS ELITE IS ALL FIRED UP!
Chris Elite (off mic): Think before calling out somebody you’re not on the fucking level of.
Flannery McCoy: If Chris was ever feeling doubt, he doesn’t look like it tonight as he tosses Myles back inside before climbing up the apron, just begging Myles to stand up and turn around! Once he does, CHRIS LAUNCHES HIMSELF THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND SPIKES MYLES HEAD INTO THE MAT WITH A TORNADO DDT! TWO MAJOR MOVES WERE DELIVERED BACK TO BACK COURTESY OF CHRIS, AND HE GOES FOR THE FIRST COVER OF THIS MATCHUP!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
Stew-O: And Myles with the kick out! Chris goes back on the attack as he puts Myles in a grounded headlock! Chris has it locked in tight, but Myles manages to get to a knee and then up to a vertical base. Chris quickly shuts him down, though, as he has him grounded once more! But once more, Myles is trying to fight out of Chris’ grip as he gets on a knee before throwing several elbows into the midsection! That does the trick as he’s able to throw Chris off him into the ropes—AND MYLES CONNECTS WITH A HIP TOSS ON THE REBOUND! Chris stands up in the corner, and here comes Myles who charges at him with a full head of steam!
Jake Mecer: LEAPING FOREARM STRIKE RIGHT TO THE FACE! AND NOW, MYLES RELENTLESSLY BEGINS TO JAM HIS FOREARM INTO THE FACE OF CHRIS! MYLES FOLLOWS IT UP WITH ANOTHER HIP TOSS FROM THE CORNER! Myles looks to be in full control now as he takes a second to regroup before approaching Chris again.
Myles (off mic): For once in your life, shut the fuck up.
Flannery McCoy: I guess Myles heard the words Chris was spewing earlier on the outside and is throwing jabs back. Myles walks up to Chris, who is on both knees, and then repeatedly delivers kicks right to Chris’ chest! Myles backs up and then goes for a kick to the head!
Stew-O: BUT CHRIS DUCKS IT AND POPS UP, TRAPPING THE ARMS GOING FOR A BACKSLIDE PIN!
Jake Mercer: HAND ON! MYLES ROLLS BACK TO HIS FEET AND THIS TIME DELIVERS THE KICK TO THE HEAD! IT HITS, AND HE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A JUMPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP INTO THE HEART OF CHRIS! Jesus!
Flannery McCoy: Myles now mounts Chris and begins delivering several stiff shots to the head! He’s relentless! A few more are delivered before the referee steps in to create a little bit of separation, but not for long as Myles moves them out of the way and begins to stomp the absolute life out of Chris while on the mat! He’s quick to stay right on the attack and goes to pick him up!
Stew-O: Myles throws the arm of Chris over his shoulder, but Chris is fighting back with several elbow strikes to the side of the head… AND CHRIS TURNS THE TABLES AND DELIVERS A REVERSE STO, DRIVING MYLES FACE-FIRST INTO THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE PAD! :yikes: Chris rolls away and pulls himself up in the opposite corner as Myles is down on his knees… AND CHRIS RUNS IN, DRIVING BOTH OF HIS KNEES INTO THE BACK OF MYLES’ HEAD IN THE CORNER! He pulls him away and goes for the cover!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: Kick out from Myles! Seems like the match just started, and the action is fast and furious between these two Hall of Famers.
Jake Mercer: Chris immediately picks him up and goes for a suplex….BUT MYLES DRIVES THE KNEE INTO HIS SKULL IN THE AIR!! Chris drops Myles as he lands on his feet before Myles drives him into the corner and then tries to roll him up, but Chris holds on to the turnbuckle! Chris turns around and runs at Myles, who is on a knee – AND MYLES CATCHES HIM WITH A FLAPJACK AS CHRIS SMACKS THE TURNBUCKLE FACE FIRST! Myles caught him by literal surprise right there as Chris turns around! MYLES IS WAITING FOR HIM AS HE TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A SNAPMARE AND THEN RUNS OFF THE ROPES – AND DRIVES THE KNEE INTO THE FACE OF CHRIS AT FULL SPEED!
Flannery McCoy: I may or may not have seen a tooth go flying from the mouth of Chris Elite there. :yikes:
Stew-O: Myles chooses not to go for the cover and instead goes back on the attack, picking Chris up and then delivering an uppercut to the jaw that drives him into the corner! AND HERE COMES MYLES, WHO RUNS AND DRIVES BOTH KNEES INTO THE CHEST OF CHRIS BEFORE FOLLOWING IT UP WITH A MONKEY FLIP! BUT CHRIS JUST LANDED ON HIS FEET!
Flannery McCoy: Chris is waiting for Myles as he stands in the corner, AND CHRIS RUNS UP BEHIND MYLES AND GOES FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX! BUT THIS TIME IT’S MYLES WHO LANDS ON HIS FEET!
Jake Mercer: MYLES RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND TAKES CHRIS DOWN WITH A RUNNING KNEE! MYLES RIGHT AWAY TRANSITIONS INTO A CROSSFACE SUBMISSION! MYLES IS WRENCHING BACK THE UPPER BODY OF CHRIS’ BACK AS CHRIS IS TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF THIS! CHRIS IS SCRAMBLING IN A PANIC, TRYING TO FIND A WAY OUT!! Chris is trying to fight out of it, but Myles sure isn’t making it easy, making him earn every inch as Chris crawls to the ropes, getting closer and closer…AND HE REACHES OUT ALMOST FINGERTIPS AWAY –
Stew-O: BUT MYLES LETS GO, KNOWING IT WAS A LOST CAUSE, AND DRAGS HIM BACK TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! BUT CHRIS KICKS MYLES RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH HIS FREE FOOT BEFORE PUSHING HIM INTO THE CORNER AS MYLES’ HEAD WHIPLASHES OFF THE TURNBUCKLE, BUYING HIMSELF ENOUGH TIME TO STAND UP AND CHARGE AT MYLES ONCE MORE! HE COMES IN WITH A RUNNING KNEE OF HIS OWN – BUT HE SIDESTEPS AND HOOKS BOTH OF THE ARMS FOR THE BACKSLIDE PIN!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
Flannery McCoy: THE KICKOUT FROM CHRIS! That was a close call – BUT HERE COMES MYLES, WHO DELIVERS A STEP-UP KNEE THAT KNOCKS CHRIS THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE FLOOR! Myles takes advantage of Chris, taking his attention off of him for just a split second. Myles then runs off the ropes….AND THEN DELIVERS A TOPE CON HILO TO CHRIS ELITE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING! Both competitors are down on the outside, and the crowd is fired up!
(Instant replay of Myles hitting the picture-perfect tope con Hilo to Chris Elite on the outside.)
Stew-O: Myles gets him up and tries to get him back inside the ring – BUT CHRIS DRIVES HIM BACK FIRST INTO THE RING APRON!! AND THEN CHRIS LAUNCHES MYLES OVER THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE! Chris buys himself a little bit of time as he removes the monitors from the announce table. Chris walks around the announce table and begins to hammer away at Myles, AND MYLES FIGHTS BACK AS BOTH OF THEM GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE OTHER, BUT CHRIS GETS THE UPPER HAND AS HE REPEATEDLY DRIVES HIS KNEE INTO MYLES’ FACE! CHRIS NOW DELIVERS A ROUNDHOUSE KICK AS MYLES FALLS DOWN ON THE ANNOUNCE TABLE, AND NOW HE DELIVERS SEVERAL SHOTS TO THE FACE AS MYLES LIES ON THE TABLE BEFORE…UH OH!!
Jake Mercer: CHRIS HOPS ON THE BARRICADE BEHIND THE SPANISH ANNOUNCERS AND LOOKS DOWN AT MYLES LYING MOTIONLESS ON THE TABLE –
*CRASH!*
Stew-O: “AIMIN FOR THE MOONN!!!” THE 450 SWANTON THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE DESK!! It looks like Chris may have hurt himself as he holds his knee!
(Instant replay of “Aimin For The Moon” through the announce desk.)
Jake Mercer: Chris may not have landed smoothly there as he limos back to his feet and he slowly gets Myles back to his feet! He rolls him back inside the ring before sliding back in and making the cover!!
OOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEE!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Stew-O: MYLES GETS HIS SHOULDER UP!! Myles is still in it as Chris thinks of what to do next. He stands up and goes to pick Myles up by the head, BUT MYLES OUT OF ADRENALINE DRIVES CHRIS BACK INTO THE CORNER! MYLES IS DRIVING HIS SHOULDER INTO THE RIBS AND DELIVERING KICKS TO THE LOWER BODY! AND NOW MYLES LIFTS HIS FOOT TO CHRIS’ THROAT AND IS TRYING TO CHOKE HIM OUT!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE – COME ON BACK IT UP MYLES!
Myles: :wtf:
Flannery McCoy: The referee forces Myles to break it after using up the entire five count. Myles takes a deep breath before going right back on the attack as he sits Chris up on the top turnbuckle and joins him up there! Wait, WHAT IS HE PLANNING ON DOING?!
Stew-O: IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S GOING FOR THE SUPERPLEX!! BUT CHRIS IS FIGHTING BACK WITH SHOTS TO THE RIB CAGE, TRYING TO FREE HIMSELF FROM MYLES’ GRASP, AND NOW BOTH OF THEM ARE EXCHANGING BLOWS WITH ONE ANOTHER, BATTLING FOR CONTROL ON THAT TOP ROPE!! Chris looks to have gotten the upper hand as he is trying to set up for something, BUT MYLES DELIVERS A HEADBUTT THAT CATCHES CHRIS OFF GUARD…AND OH NO –
Jake Mercer: WOAH!!!! WE GUESSED MYLES WAS GOING TO GO FOR A SUPERPLEX FROM THE TOP… BUT OH MY GOD!! MYLES INSTEAD DELIVERS A BRAINBUSTER FROM THE TOP, DROPPING CHRIS RIGHT ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD!! :damn:!!!
Stew-O: Myles isn’t going for the cover as he backs up into the corner as Chris stumbles up to his knees, not having a clue on where he is…..AND MYLES RUNS AND DELIVERS “DRACO METEORA” TO THE BACK OF THE SKULL!! AND MYLES WITH THE COVER!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Stew-O: CHRIS KICKS OUT AT TWO AND A HALF!! Chris showing his guts so far with the stuff Myles has been throwing at him in the early goings of this match. Myles, though isn’t bothered as I think he can smell blood, thinking that the end may be near here! He’s stalking Chris from behind like a predator does to its prey….Myles turns him around and gets him in position for “De Facto” –
Flannery McCoy: BUT CHRIS REVERSES IT WITH AN ARM DRAG! Myles quickly gets back up to his feet and runs at Chris…BUT CHRIS WAS READY FOR HIM AS HE QUICKLY POPPED UP AND DELIVERED A JUMPING REVERSE STO PLANTING MYLES FACE FIRST INTO THE MAT! CHRIS THEN IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A PEOPLE’S MOONSAULT! AND NOW A COVER FROM CHRIS!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
Stew-O: MYLES GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Chris goes back and forth on his next approach as Myles tries his best to get away from him as he crawls over to the ropes. Chris walks over and begins trying to drag Myles away from the ropes, but he’s clutching onto the bottom rope for dear life. Chris drops down and begins delivering punches to the head before picking Myles up and placing him between the legs – AND MYLES COUNTERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP, SENDING CHRIS OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE FLOOR BUYING HIMSELF SOME VALUABLE TIME TO RECUPERATE!
Flannery McCoy: Myles stands up, shaking the cobwebs out before he measures Chris up as he stirs back up on the outside… MYLES RUNS OFF THE ROPES, SLIDES UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE, AND DELIVERS A TORNADO DDT ON THE OUTSIDE!!
Stew-O: Great athleticism shown there from the three-time World champion as both men are down on the outside again. Myles slowly gets back up, rolls him back inside the ring and climbs up the apron, and ascends up the top rope once more….What could he possibly have in mind here?
Flannery McCoy: MYLES JUMPS OFF, LOOKING TO GO FOR THE FALCON ARROW –
Jake Mercer: BUT CHRIS GOT THE KNEES UP!! AND THEN HE TRANSITIONS INTO A PIN INTERTWINING THE LEGS!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Flannery McCoy: DID HE GET HIM?! The referee says no, and they both gingerly race up to their feet and run into a double clothesline on one another!! Both are down again as they stand at the exact same time..A RIGHT HAND FROM MYLES! AND A TYSON-LIKE UPPERCUT FROM CHRIS! BOTH OF THEM ARE JUST GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE OTHER! WHO’S GONNA GAIN THE UPPER HAND?!
Jake Mercer: IT LOOKS LIKE CHRIS AS HE DELIVERS SEVERAL RIGHT HOOKS TO THE FACE AS MYLES BEGINS TRYING TO SHIELD HIMSELF….AND THEN CHRIS ELITE GOES FOR A STEP-UP ENZIGURI TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD THAT KNOCKS MYLES BACK INTO THE CORNER! Chris checks his nose for blood before running at Myles in the corner, BUT MYLES SENDS HIM OVER THE TOP WITH A BACK BODY DROP, BUT CHRIS HELD ON TO THE APRON! Myles is unaware of it as he turns around—
Stew-O: AND CHRIS IS WAITING FOR HIM AS HE DELIVERS A SLINGSHOT SPEAR THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE, ALMOST SLICING MYLES IN HALF!! Chris has all the momentum on his side now as he pumps the crowd up and looks to put Myles away…
Flannery McCoy: CHRIS IS GOING FOR HIS “FACE VALUE” HAMMERLOCK DDT – AND IT CONNECTS!!!
Stew-O: But he’s exhausted! He doesn’t go for the cover immediately!
Jake Mercer: :roman: !!
Flannery McCoy: Oh dear! Chris is tired due to how full-throttle this contest has been! He *finally* crawls over to Myles to make the cover… BUT MYLES ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AS CHRIS WAS REACHING FOR HIM! Either great ring awareness from Myles or he got extremely lucky there, but Chris taking a few seconds too long to go for the cover allowed Myles to get enough separation to know where he was to roll out. You can just hear the disappointment in the crowd and see the disappointment on the face of Chris, who just looks down at him!
Jake Mercer: After several moments, Chris rolls out of the ring and grabs Myles and rolls him back inside. Chris follows in after him and approaches Myles while he is on his knees – AND MYLES PULLS HIM DOWN BY THE ARM! MYLES QUICKLY RISES AND GRABS AHOLD OF HIS LEGS AND FLIPS HIM OVER ON HIS STOMACH! “KRAKEN’S GRASP!!!”
Stew-O: MYLES LOCKS HIM IN HIS INVERTED TEXAS CLOVERLEAF, AND CHRIS LOOKS TO BE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE!! MYLES IS APPLYING THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF PRESSURE YOU CAN JUST YELLING AT CHRIS TO TAP OUT!! CHRIS IS TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF IT BUT HE IS NOT LOOKING TO HAVE ANY LUCK IN DOING SO, AND CHRIS LOOKS TO BE FADING OUT!!!
Jake Mercer: WAIT!!! CHRIS ELITE REACHES BEHIND AND PULLS HIM DOWN INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE PIN!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Jake Mercer: AND MYLES KICKS OUT!! Myles almost got caught out of nowhere! You gotta credit Chris for thinking quickly to get out of that submission hold!
Stew-O: Myles beats him up to his feet and goes for a soccer kick to the face….BUT CHRIS CATCHES THE LEG AND FLIPS HIM BACKWARDS, BUT MYLES LANDS ON HIS FEET….BUT CHRIS WAS WAITING ON HIM WITH A STEP-UP KNEE STRIKE ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE!! BUT MYLES CATCHES THE LEG AND DELIVERS A DRAGON SCREW! Both men are just playing chess with the other with every move they make, and it’s just a matter of who slips up first at this rate.
Flannery McCoy: Chris pulls himself up using the ropes with a bit of a limp, and Myles is waiting for him, who delivers several kicks to the lower body followed by palm strikes to the chest…AND THEN MYLES GRABS THE ARM AND PULLS CHRIS IN AND LIFTS HIM UP…”VICTORIA!!!” HE HITS A POPUP KNEE STRIKE ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE! Chris looks like he doesn’t have a clue about where he is right now and Myles smells blood in the water –
Stew-O: MYLES PICKS CHRIS UP AND HAS HIM IN PRIME POSITION HOOKING BOTH OF THE ARMS….MYLES HITS “COFFIN FOR A SKULL”!!! THE PILEDRIVER DROPS CHRIS RIGHT ON HIS HEAD AND MYLES HOOKS THE LEG! YOU CAN PROBABLY COUNT TO A HUNDRED WITH THAT COMBINATION!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!
Jake Mercer: NO IT’S NOT!! CHRIS GETS THE SHOULDER UP AT THE LAST MILLISECOND– BUT MYLES IMMEDIATELY TRIES TO LOCK IN “KRAKEN’S GRASP” FOR A SECOND TIME! BUT CHRIS KICKS AT HIM AND MYLES HAS HIM HALFWAY ON HIS STOMACH—
Stew-O: Chris manages to flip him on his back with his leg strength! Myles scoots himself into the corner and loos at Chris in the opposite corner struggling to make it back to his feet! MYLES CHARGES WITH A FULL HEAD OF STEAM AND TRIES TO TAKE CHRIS’ HEAD OFF WITH A HELLUVA KICK!
Jake Mercer: BUT CHRIS GOES UNDER AND CATCHES MYLES AND PICKS HIM UP IN THE AIR—SPINNING SITOUT POWERBOMB!!! Chris can feel the momentum shifting as he hobbles back to his feet –
Flannery McCoy: “BOX OFFICE SMASH!!!” THE HOUSE CALL ELBOW TO.THE FACE AS CHRIS CRAWLS OVER AND THROWS HIS ARM.OVER HIS CHEST FOR THE COVER!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Stew-O: THE REFEREE SPOTS MYLES FOOT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE!!
Flannery McCoy: Chris now shows some signs of frustration as he pounds the mat repeatedly and gets upset with the referee. hEslowly stands back up and looks to put the exclamation point on this one as he towers above Myles, who slowly stirs back up to a vertical base! Myles around…AND HE TRIES TO GO FOR “FACE VALUE” –
Jake Mercer: BUT MYLES SPINS OUT OF IT AND DELIVERS A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD AS BOTH OF THEM FALL DOWN TO THE MAT! Man what a war this has been between two of the best Voltage has to offer, throwing everything they have at one another! These Hall of Famers are leaving everything out there!
Stew-O: Just a matter of who wants it more at this point as now both men crawl away from one another and pull themselves up on opposite sides of the ring! They turn around, and Chris takes the first shot—but Myles blocks it and delivers shots of his own backing Chris up against the ropes! He irish whips him off the ropes, but Chris slides under the legs, AND THEN HOOKS THE ARMS GOING FOR A TIGER SUPLEX, BUT MYLES REVERSES IT FACING CHRIS’ BACKSIDE AND DELIVERS A SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX AS CHRIS HITS HIS HEAD HARD RIGHT OFF THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE! Chris is again in a vulnerable spot here, seated in the corner, AND MYLES RUNS AND DELIVERS A RUNNING DROPKICK TO THE FACE! Myles is signaling that the end is near!
Jake Mercer: MYLES PICKS UP CHRIS FROM THE CORNER – OH MY GOD!!! CHRIS WITH THE INSIDE CRADLE OUT OF NOWHERE!! HE’S GOT HIM!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!
Stew-O: MYLES FLIPS IT INTO A PIN OF HIS OWN!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!
Jake Mercer: AND OH MY GOD CHRIS KICKS OUT!!! BOTH STAND UP AND MYLES GOES FOR A RUNNING BIG BOOT, BUT CHRIS DUCKS IT AND TAKES MYLES DOWN WITH A REVERSE DDT!! Chris crawls over to the corner and rolls under the bottom rope and he begins to ascend up the top rope! At this point in the match, you’re pretty much risking it all. He stands up high on the top turnbuckle….AND OH MY GOD!! CHRIS LEAPS OFF!! “AIMIN FOR THE MOON”!!!
Stew-O: BUT NOBODY HOME!!! MYLES MOVED OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND! Chris took a huge risk with the 450 Swanton and it just might end up costing him his the match as Myles…MYLES RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND DELIVERS HIS “DRACO METEORA” STRIKE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD FOR A SECOND TIME AS HE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE VICTORY!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!
Jake Mercer: AND CHRIS KICKED OUT AGAIN, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! Now you can see the frustration on Myles’ face! But he picks up what is almost the dead weight of Chris–ONLY FOR ELITE TO STILL HAVE SOME FIGHT IN HIM! SHOTS AT THE RIBS OF MYLES ARE THROWN AND CHRIS DRIVES AND TACKLES MYLES THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE AS BOTH OF THEM GO CRASHING TO THE OUTSIDE FLOOR! Once again we’re at a standstill between these two as both of them can barely move, both of them down on the outside and again it’s a race to see who gets to their feet first as the referee begins his count…
ONE! TWO!
Flannery McCoy: Chris pulls himself up by the ring skirt AND RAMS MYLES RIGHT INTO THE STEEL STEPS! CHRIS BACKSTEPS A FEW FEET AND CHARGES BUT MYLES SIDESTEPS AND SENDS CHRIS ELITE INTO THE STEPS THIS TIME..AND OH NO!!! MYLES TAKES DOWN CHRIS WITH A RUNNING KNEE TO THE FACE AS BOTH ARE DOWN AGAIN! They better pay attention to that count.
THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Stew-O: Myles crawls to the other end of the ring, using the apron to help himself stand as Chris is trying to muster up the strength to stand up on the other end.
SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT!
Jake Mercer: Neither one of them is back in yet, and man, what a shame if this match were to end in a countout. :wow:
NINE!
TEEEEEEEN—
Flannery McCoy: BOTH MEN SLIDE INTO THE RING AT THE SAME TIME, BARELY MAKING IT AND THE CROWD HAS ERUPTED AS THIS BATTLE BETWEEN THE TWO HALL OF FAMERS RAGES ON!!
Stew-O: What a close call! I’m sure neither man wanted it to end that way as they both stand and meet eye to eye once again! MYLES GOES FOR THE FIRST PUNCH….AND THERE’S THE BLOCK FROM CHRIS AS HE DELIVERS A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TO THE JAW BEFORE IRISH WHIPPING HIM INTO THE ROPES AND BENDS FOR A BACKBODY DROP BUT MYLES LEAPFROGS OVER HIM INTO A SUNSET FLIP PIN!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!
Flannery McCoy: KICKOUT AGAIN FROM CHRIS ELITE! HE’S UP AND RUNS AT MYLES IN THE CORNER, BUT MYLES GETS HIS FEET UP, STOPPING HIM DEAD IN HIS TRACKS!! Myles hops up on the second-rope turnbuckle and leaps, going from another sunset flip, BUT CHRIS ROLLS THROUGH BACK TO HIS FEET AND GOES TO KICK MYLES IN THE SKULL!
Stew-O: MYLES DUCKS IT! HE POPS UP HOOKING BOTH ARMS AND DELIVERS A TIGER SUPLEX!!
Jake Mercer: He isn’t done! HE GRABS HIM AND SETS UP FOR THE “DE FACTO”!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT ONCE AGAIN CHRIS IS FIGHTING BACK WITH ALL HE HAS LEFT! ANOTHER EUROPEAN UPPERCUT FROM CHRIS, AND THEN A SECOND ONE THAT DRIVES MYLES BACK INTO THE CORNER! Chris takes a second to recover before running at Myles in the corner and delivers a high knee to the face! He grabs his head and goes for a bulldog—
Jake Mercer: BUT MYLES HOLDS HIM UP AND TOSSES CHRIS CHEST FIRST ON THE TOP ROPE! Chris is a sitting duck with his upper body hanging over the rope as Myles hops on the second turnbuckle…AND LEAPS OFF AND DROPS BOTH KNEES ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK! AND UH OH!
Stew-O: Myles picks up Chris and ties his arms in the ropes. We all know what this is… MYLES RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND DRIVES THE KNEE INTO THE FACE OF THE HELPLESS CHRIS ELITE!! AND THEN HE DOES IT AGAIN, AND THEN A THIRD TIME!! Chris is motionless as Myles drags him away from the ropes and then makes his way over to the corner and makes his way up to the top turnbuckle!
Flannery McCoy: Chris slowly stumbles up to his feet not having a clue where he is and turns around– RIGHT INTO THE “MAXIMUM PULSE” METEORA! MYLES GOES FOR THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG FOR THE WIN!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!
Flannery McCoy: CHRIS GETS THE SHOULDER UP ONCE MORE!!! Still digging deep and finding a way to survive. However, it’s clear that Myles has had enough! He picks Chris up off the mat—
Stew-O: CHRIS SLAPS BOTH HANDS OF MYLES AWAY AS HE JUMPS UP AND HITS AN ENZIGURI KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD, STUNNING MYLES! HE’S DOWN TO HIS KNEES! CHRIS SHAKES THE COBWEBS OFF AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES—SHINING WIZARD TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!
Jake Mercer: Myles looks like he doesn’t have a clue where he is at again after that strike to his head – AND CHRIS RUNS OFF THE ROPES ONCE MORE, DELIVERING ANOTHER SHINING WIZARD! HE STILL ISN’T GOING FOR THE COVER…BECAUSE HE RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND DELIVERS THE SHINING WIZARD FOR A **THIRD TIME** TO THE BACK OF THE SKULL—
Flannery McCoy: BUT SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, MYLES HE DUCKS IT, POPS UP AND RUNS SPRINGBOARDING OFF THE SECOND ROPE –
Stew-O: SUPERKICK IN MID AIR FROM CHRIS ELITE!!! CHRIS DROPS DOWN ON TOP FOR THE COVER!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!
Flannery McCoy: KICK OUT!!! Both of these guys are just throwing their absolute best at each other, and it *stil* doesn’t seem like enough! What else do EITHER of them have to do in order win!?
Jake Mercer: That question is getting harder to answer the longer this match goes on! Chris rolls away from Myles and uses the ropes to help pull himself back to a vertical base. Myles slowly begins to stir while holding his head. Elite walks over and puts him in a headlock as he picks him up to his feet, getting him set up—
Flannery McCoy: BUT MYLES IS TRYING TO FIGHT BACK WITH EVERY WILL IN HIS BEING…HEADBUTT TO THE HEAD OUT OF DESPERATION TO SAVE HIMSELF!! Not sure how wise that was of Myles, considering the amount of damage his head after all the damage Chris has inflicted to the head, but it’s better than nothing!
Stew-O: And he stands up in the corner, shaking his head a bit before refocusing on Chris who is on one knee! MYLES RUNS FULL SPEED AND SWINGS AT THE HEAD, BUT CHRIS DUCKS IT AND RAMS MYLES CHEST FIRST INTO THE CORNER BEFORE ROLLING HIM UP FROM BEHIND!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
Flannery McCoy: CHRIS IS HOLDING ON TO THE ROPES!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!
…
……
Stew-O: MYLES STILL MANAGES KICKS OUT AND PUSHES CHRIS FACE FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE IN THE PROCESS AS THEY RACE TO THEIR FEET!! Myles is waiting for him as he turns around….AND HE GOES FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE HEAD!! BUT CHRIS DUCKS IT AND GOES FOR A KICK TO THE HEAD OF HIS OWN! MYLES AVOIDS IT—
Flannery McCoy: BUT NEITHER ARE ABLE TO GET OUT OF DODGE AS BOTH DELIVER AN ELBOW STRIKE sIMULTANEOUSLY…AND THEN BOTH OF THEM DELIVER A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE HEAD AT THE SAME TIME!! Both men are down again! WOW!
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! :clap: :clap:
Jake Mercer: We couldn’t agree more as both of these warriors are laying it all on the line. Myles and Chris both begin to stir and now are getting to their feet at the exact same time…EUROPEAN UPPERCUT FROM CHRIS!! A STIFF ELBOW SHOT FROM MYLES! BOTH GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE OTHER UNTIL CHRIS DELIVERS A JUMPING ENZIGURI KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD THAT DRIVES MYLES BACKWARDS INTO THE CORNER! HE CHARGES IN!
Flannery McCoy: RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT IN THE CORNER FROM CHRIS! HE RUNS TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER AND DELIVERS IT AGAIN! CHRIS LOOKS TO BE IN COMPLETE CONTROL HERE AS HE’S CALLING HIS SHOT…!!
Stew-O: HE DOES! “BOX OFFICE SMASH” —
Jake Mercer: — DOESN’T CONNECT! MYLES JUST CAUGHT CHRIS AND POPPED HIM UP HITTING “VICTORIA!!!” THE POP-UP KNEE STRIKE FLOORS HIM, AND MYLES QUICKLY TRIES TO FOLLOW IT UP AND GETS HIM IN THE PERFECT POSITION –
Stew-O: FOR THE “DE FACTO!!!!” THE SPINNING PUMPHANDLE SAMOAN DROP CONNECTS AS MYLES HOOKS THE LEG WILL THIS FINALLY BE ENOUGH TO PUT CHRIS AWAY?!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi plays to a thunderous ovation of appreciation from what they witnessed from fans as Myles slowly rolls off the motionless body of Chris Elite, Myles struggles to stand in pain from the absolute battle he just went through. The referee raises his hand.)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…… MYYYYLLLEEESSSSS!!!
Flannery McCoy: What an absolute war we witnessed tonight between two Hall of Famers! Both of them threw everything they had at one another, but it was Myles who was able to overcome it enough tonight to come out as the victor.
Jake Mercer: You can’t take anything away at all from Chris; he proved without a shadow of a doubt tonight that he’s never lost one inch of a step like he fears, and the ball could have easily bounced his way many times.
Stew-O: Indeed he did, but tonight belongs to Myles. He’s shown what he’s capable of on more than one occasion, and tonight, he proved that he hasn’t lost his step in his own right. What a match that was!
(Myles looks down at Chris Elite, before turning back and continuing to pose on the turnbuckle. From there King of Elite fades away from ringside.)

(The camera opens to Bella Braxton in the middle of the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen…. The following contest I scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(“Just Close Your Eyes” by Waterproof Blonde hits and the crowd shows their disapproval as Octavia makes her way out onto the stage. Her smile and attitude gives way to the fact that she is proud of her recent actions and almost a skip in her step as she makes her way down to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Making her way to the ring, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada! She is the Last Queen…. OOOOOCCCCTTTAAAAVVVIIIIAAAAAA!!!!
James Peters: Well, Octavia has certainly made an impact on the landscape of Voltage since her debut! She had a successful beginning but the real headlines have been her fights outside of the ring, not inside!
Rich Russillo: First taking out her own sister, Cleopatra, and then attacking Dr. Bethany Blue for agreeing to help Cleopatra recover! Octavia made it clear that she wants to make any mention of her older sister irrelevant and won’t allow anyone to stand in the way of erasing Cleopatra’s legacy in favor of her own!
Persephone: Dumb bitches doing dumb bitch things. Is that really the best we have here?
(Octavia makes her way into the ring, posing on the ropes for the camera with a sly smile as she does so. Finally, she makes her way into the corner as “Just Close Your Eyes” fades out.)
(“Somebody Get Me a Doctor” by Van Halen hits the speakers and the crowd reacts loudly. Dr. Bethany Blue steps onto the stage, and is shortly followed by Cleopatra who still has a few bandages from the attack Octavia put on her. Both of them have their eyes fixed on Octavia as they make their way to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent… making her way to the ring, accompanied by EAW Hall of Famer, Cleopatra! From Boca Ratón, Florida… DOCTORRR BETHANYYYYYY BLUUUUUUEEEEEEE!!!
Persephone: And here comes Adam Lucas’s master to make things even better for us.
James Peters: Doctor Blue made her intentions this weekend very clear! She is less than pleased with Octavia’s actions and intends to teach the young upstart a lesson directly from one of the best in the business!
Rich Russillo: Less than pleased is putting it pretty mildly! Octavia took the Doctor out a few weeks ago and Bethany was in pretty rough shape! And here only a few weeks later she is stepping into the ring at one of the biggest shows of the year! It begs the question of whether the Doctor is truly fighting fit tonight!
(Bethany’s music fades as she climbs up into the ring, cautious with an eye on Octavia who simply waves at Bethany as she does so. Cleopatra stands out at ringside, keeping a close eye on the action. The referee checks with both women before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: AND HERE WE GO! These two women are ready to tear each other apart and this match is underway! Octavia is in the middle of the ring and Bethany moves in, cautious not to leave any openings for the rookie to take advantage of! Octavia reaches out! Going for a tie up at the waist! But the doctor twists through and winds up with the rear waistlock control! Bethany looking to use her height advantage right now and try to get Octavia off her feet and controlled! She lifts! And slams Octavia to the mat! Now turning through, Bethany quickly applies an Armbar!
Rich Russillo: Showing her veteran experience and quickly trying to wear down her opponent! Octavia looks annoyed but not much she can do when Bethany has her like that! But wait! Octavia turning her hips and twisting her way through! She pulls in her knees and gets her stomach off the mat and manages to remove the pressure from the arms bar of Dr Blue!
James Peters: A great reversal and now using her knees to pry Bethany off of her! An impressive maneuver by the rookie! BUT BETHANY NOT LETTING HER HAVE THAT MOMENT! INSTANTLY BACK ON THE ASSAULT, BETHANY SLIPS PAST THE LEGS OF OCTAVIA AND IMMEDIATELY RAINS PUNCHES DOWN ONTO THE FACE OF THE LAST QUEEN!
Rich Russillo: Cleopatra watching at ringside, focused and intent on this match as Dr. Blue is pummeling her sister early! Octavia better find a way out of this or else she’s going to be out of this contest faster than anyone expected! Octavia trying to cover her face up and find some way out but Bethany’s punches are connecting! The rookie is in danger here at the very start of the match!
James Peters: She reaches up! Grabbing a hold of Bethany’s face— AND DIGGING HER FINGERNAILS IN! CLAWING AT THE FACE OF BETHANY BLUE! DR. BLUE LANDS A FEW MORE SHOTS BUT EVENTUALLY SHE’S FORCED TO RELENT! Doctor Blue pulls back and checks her face to ensure she isn’t bleeding before turning back to her opponent! AND OCTAVIA ALREADY UP WITH A KICK TO THE FACE! WHAT SPEED FROM THE ROOKIE! OCTAVIA MOVED LIKE LIGHTNING AND CONNECTING WITH THAT BOOT TO THE JAW OF THE DOCTOR!
Persephone: Hey if I gotta watch these two go at it, at least they aren’t making it boring. Yet. That usually changes with losers like this.
James Peters: BETHANY IS REELING FROM THAT KICK AND OCTAVIA MOVES IN QUICKLY! SHE SHOVES BETHANY BACK TO THE MAT! A VICIOUSLY GLEEFUL EXPRESSION ON HER FACE AS SHE BEGINS TO DROP VIOLENT ELBOWS DIRECTLY DOWN ONTO BETHANY’S HEAD! THIS MATCH BECAME A BRAWL VERY QUICKLY!
Rich Russillo: Now with full control, Octavia lets out a laugh as she stands to her feet! She grabs Bethany by the hair and drags her up, intent to teach her a lesson of her own! Octavia gets Bethany to her feet and sends her running into the ropes!
James Peters: OCTAVIA WITH A HEEL KICK AT BETHANY’S HEAD! NO! BETHANY DUCKED IT! BETHANY BOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AGAIN! MOVING IN FOR A CLOTHESLINE! OCTAVIA DROPS UNDER THAT! BETHANY’S MOMENTUM CARRIES HER TO THE ROPES AGAIN BUT DOCTOR BLUE CATCHING HERSELF BY WRAPPING AN ARM AROUND THE TOP ROPE!
Rich Russillo: Neither woman keeping full control for more than a moment or two! Octavia showing she not only has the talent to compete but the ability to go toe to toe with one of the best in the business today!
James Peters: Bethany looks annoyed but Octavia is more than pleased with herself. Bethany’s strategy was clearly to overpower her opponent early and take her out before she even had a chance to establish herself but that hasn’t gone the way she wanted. She will have to restrategize on the fly! But if anyone can figure it out, it’s Doctor Blue!
Rich Russillo: She moves in, looking to get something going again and Octavia meets her there! Both women lock up! They each shift their grips around, looking for control of the other— BUT DOCTOR BLUE SHOVES OCTAVIA OFF AND FOLLOWS IT UP—
(**SLAP**)
James Peters: A SLAP ACROSS THE FACE OF OCTAVIA FROM DOCTOR BLUE! OCTAVIA LOOKS STUNNED AND THE DOCTOR LOOKING TO CAPITALIZE! BETHANY LUNGES IN AND SCOOPS OCTAVIA BY THE WAIST! SHE TAKES HER OPPONENT UP AND SLAMS HER DOWN TO THE MAT! BETHANY QUICK TO FOLLOW IT UP WITH AN ELBOW DROP! AND ANOTHER! AND ONE MORE FOR GOOD MEASURE! SHE TAKES OCTAVIA BY THE HEAD AND BEGINS TO SMASH HER SKULL BACK INTO THE CANVAS! OVER AND OVER! MAKING SURE THE DAMAGE TAKES HOLD AND LETTING OCTAVIA KNOW THAT SHE MESSED UP BY LAYING THIS CHALLENGE OUT TO BETHANY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO!
Rich Russillo: And Doctor Blue finally rolling off of Octavia! And now she stands in the corner! Lying in wait like a predator stalking her prey! Doctor Blue watches as Octavia gets up to her knees, clutching at the back of her head! Octavia pushing her way back up, rattled by the damage done to her head but trying to get back in! She turns to Doctor Blue— TJD!!!
Persephone: THE DUMB BITCH MISSED!
James Peters: OCTAVIA MANAGED TO SLIP UNDERNEATH THE SUPERKICK AND TURNS BACK!! SUPERKICK! OCTAVIA WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW OF DOCTOR BLUE! THE DOCTOR IS DOWN AND OCTAVIA NOW ASCENDS THE TURNBUCKLE! OCTAVIA AT THE TOP BUT LOOKING TO STAY LONG! THE MOONSAULT CONNECTS! OCTAVIA HOOKS THE LEG!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOO—
Persephone: BUT NO GOOD! DOCTOR BLUE POWERS OUT BEFORE THE TWO COUNT!
Rich Russillo: Bethany got rocked by that superkick but it’s going to take far more than that to keep someone like her down! Octavia looks annoyed though, as though she expected that to be the end of it. Not sure if that’s rookie inexperience or just honest underestimating of the Doctor. Nevertheless, the rookie has control of this contest and needs to make a major move to stay on top of things! This is her golden ticket! If she wants to surpass her sister, a win over someone like Bethany Blue is a great way to start!
James Peters: Octavia now grabbing Dr. Blue by the shoulder and looking to get something rolling again! Looking to create momentum for herself! She pulls the doctor up—
Rich Russillo: BUT BETHANY NOW USING WHAT AWARENESS SHE HAS AND DRIVING OCTAVIA BACK INTO THE CORNER! OCTAVIA’S HEAD AND BACK BOTH COLLIDE WITH THE TURNBUCKLES! DOCTOR BLUE NOW USING THAT SHOULDER TO THRUST OVER AND OVER AGAIN INTO THE MIDSECTION OF THE ROOKIE AND TRY TO WEAR HER OUT!
Persephone: NOW DOCTOR BLUE PUTTING HER BOOT INTO THE THROAT OF OCTAVIA AND PRESSING IN! HOLDING THE ROPES FOR LEVERAGE AND BALANCE! NOT A LEGAL MANEUVER THOUGH! THE REFEREE LETTING HER KNOW!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FI—
James Peters: Bethany releases it before the five count! Not wanting to risk the disqualification, she moves out of the corner as the referee checks on Octavia— BUT BETHANY RUNS BACK IN! STEPPING UP INTO A KNEE STRIKE TO THE JAW OF THE LAST QUEEN! OCTAVIA IS ROCKED! AND THE GOOD DOCTOR LOOKING TO DO A LOT OF DAMAGE HERE! SHE PULLS OCTAVIA OUT OF THE CORNER AND APPLIES THE INVERTED FACELOCK! LIFTING OCTAVIA UP! GRADE C-2!! THE AIR RAID CRASH DROPS THE ROOKIE DOWN AND ALL OF THE PRESSURE WENT INTO HER NECK! THE DOCTOR NOW ROLLING OVER FOR A COVER OF HER OWN! SHE HOOKS THE LEG!
Referee: ONNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: T—
Persephone: Looks like this must continue, I guess…
James Peters: Octavia powers out just after two but you have to think the damage to her neck is done now! That C-2 is more than many can handle and it’s going to be hard to compete with a twisted up neck!
Rich Russillo: Octavia is reeling, still clutching at the base of her skull, and Doctor Blue will give her no reprieve here!
James Peters: She pulls back into the corner and watches for the right opportunity! Octavia is trying to rise up… AND THE DOCTOR GOES FOR THE CONCUSSION PROTOCOL!
Rich Russillo: BUT OCTAVIA HAD IT SCOUTED! SHE SLIPS BACKWARDS AT THE LAST SECOND AND ROLLS OUT OF THE RING! The Doctor looks agitated, but Octavia is incredibly pleased with herself! She waves at Bethany while licking her lips, enjoying the agitation on Bethany’s face!
Cleopatra: (off-mic) GET BACK IN THE RING!
Persephone: Ooooh! Drama! Goodnight…
James Peters: Octavia finds herself face to face with her older sister, and Cleopatra is not playing games. She demands for Octavia to get back into the ring and fight, but Octavia just stands there, posturing up to the Hall of Famer and smiling— OCTAVIA SPITS DIRECTLY IN THE FACE OF CLEOPATRA! CLEOPATRA REELS BACK! CAUGHT OFF GUARD! OCTAVIA IS GRINNING EAR TO EAR!
Rich Russillo: BUT SHE TOOK HER EYE OFF THE PRIZE!
James Peters: BETHANY BLUE REACHES DOWN AND GRABS OCTAVIA BY THE HAIR! PULLING HER AND DRAGGING HER UP TO THE RING APRON! SHE HAS A HOLD ON HER OPPONENT AND NOW TRYING TO HOIST HER BACK INTO THE RING! SHE WANTS TO KEEP CONTROL AND MOMENTUM ON HER SIDE!
Rich Russillo: But Octavia not letting it happen that easily!! She lays punches into the ribcage of the doctor! And when she breaks Bethany’s grip, she leans in and uses a shoulder thrust to send Bethany back away from the ropes!! Octavia leaps up— SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK TO THE FACE OF THE DOCTOR! BETHANY IS KNOCKED DOWN AND OCTAVIA SITS UP! SHE IS LOVING ALL OF THIS! FEELING IN TOTAL CONTROL!
James Peters: And now she takes the doctor by the arm and turns her through! Twisting a wrist lock into place on the ground! The Doctor’s arms are so crucial to her arsenal and Octavia is trying to take that away from her!
Rich Russillo: Octavia holding that arm in place as she rushes to her feet— OH AND SHE STOMPS DOWN ON THE HAND OF THE DOCTOR! BETHANY REELS IN PAIN NOW AS OCTAVIA NOW GRINDS HER BOOT INTO THE HAND! BETHANY LETS OUT A SCREAM AS THE AGONY CONTINUES! OCTAVIA WANTS BETHANY TO KNOW WHO IS IN CONTROL!
Persephone: And now Octavia is leaning down! Blowing a kiss to Bethany Blue! Just mocking her opponent here while she wears her down! That’s kind of funny actually.
Rich Russillo: Octavia finally steps off of the hand and delivers a kick to the ribs of the doctor! The crowd is not pleased with Octavia and they let her know about it! But Octavia doesn’t care! She looks back at the crowd and feigns crying at them to make fun of them for their jeers!
James Peters: Octavia is trying to make a big statement here with this match and doing quite the job of it, but it’s not over! Stop messing with the fans! She has to capitalize!
Persephone: All of this showboating and gloating is only going to fuck over her chances of taking it home! Bethany is down but she is not a slouch in the ring, and it literally kills me to admit that!
Rich Russillo: Finally Octavia is making a move again! She steps back, lining herself up! Bethany is getting to her feet— SUPERKICK! NO! OCTAVIA IS THE ONE WHO MISSES THE SUPERKICK THIS TIME! AND NOW ITS BETHANY WHO TURNS BACK! TJD!
James Peters: BETHANY DELIVERS HER OWN SUPERKICK AND KNOCKS OCTAVIA DOWN! BUT BETHANY IS NOT DONE!! NOT CONTENT TO LEAVE IT THERE! SHE PULLS OCTAVIA UP TO HER FEET! AND NOW SHE TWISTS BACK THE ARM AND PULLS OCTAVIA IN FOR THE HEADLOCK! SHE HOISTS OCTAVIA UP WHILE HOLDING HER HEAD AND ARM! WHIPLASH! DOCTOR BLUE DRIVES HER HEAD DOWN WITH THAT VICIOUS VOODOO DROP! OCTAVIA IS NOT MOVING! THIS COULD DO IT!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Rich Russillo: NO! OCTAVIA JUST BARELY GETS THE SHOULDER UP! THE DOCTOR IS SURPRISED BY IT AND I THINK WE ALL ARE! THAT IS NOT AN EASY MOVE TO POWER OUT OF AND OCTAVIA JUST PULLED IT OFF! Bethany is not about to relent! She grabs Octavia and pulls her up! Grabbing her by the head— GOING FOR IT AGAIN! LOOKING TO HIT THE WHIPLASH ONCE MORE AND FINISH THIS THING ONCE AND FOR ALL!
James Peters: BUT OCTAVIA POPS FREE! SHE GRABS BETHANY BY THE HEAD AND DROPS DOWN FOR A SITOUT JAW BREAKER! A DESPERATION MOVE BUT IT SEEMS TO HAVE SAVED OCTAVIA FOR THE TIME BEING! Bethany is knocked back! She grabs at her face, checking her teeth. She seems okay but that move caught her off guard! She comes back in and—
Persephone: SPEAR!!
Rich Russillo: OCTAVIA WITH A SPEAR THAT NEARLY TEARS BETHANY BLUE IN HALF! SHE LAYS THE DOCTOR OUT AND FINALLY CAN CATCH HER BREATH!
Persephone: But not for long! Bethany is already trying to get back up! Her instincts not letting her stay down for long!
Rich Russillo: She pulls herself to and pushes up to her knees! Octavia looks pissed, that usually excitedly psychotic expression now turning to more of panic and confusion as she can’t seem to keep Bethany down!
Persephone: Both women stand to their feet— AND THEY MEET IN THE MIDDLE! BOTH BITCHES TRADING SHOTS! BLUE! OCTAVIA! BLUE! OCTAVIA! THESE TWO LETTING IT ALL OUT AND GOING BACK AND FORTH! HOLDING NOTHING BACK NOW!
James Peters: Bethany Blue grabs Octavia by the arm and sends her running into the ropes! Octavia bounds off the ropes and comes back— LOOKING FOR YET ANOTHER SPEAR!
Rich Russillo: WHOA! WHAT A MOVE BY THE DOCTOR! BETHANY JUST DODGED THE SPEAR! BUT IN THE SAME MOVE SHE ALSO PUT HER HAND ON OCTAVIA’S BACK AND SHOVED OCTAVIA DOWN INTO THE MAT! WHAT SKILL AND PRECISION ON DISPLAY BY DOCTOR BLUE! NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING!
James Peters: That veteran presence and awareness paying off dividends!
Rich Russillo: Octavia tried to pull the spear on the very person who sent her running and it seems like Bethany anticipated that she might try it! It’s like she set it up from the moment she grabbed hold of her opponent!
James Peters: And Bethany needs to make the most of that control she has now! Octavia may be young but she’s shown already in this match that she should not be underestimated! Bethany now stomping a hole through Octavia! Looking to keep her down but no doubt thinking through the attack that Octavia pulled on her a few weeks back!
Rich Russillo: Bethany trying to punish her opponent and make sure she does not get back up! Bethany now moves over to the nearby turnbuckle! Climbing up to the second rope—
Persephone: AND A DOUBLE KNEE DROP RIGHT TO THE BACK OF OCTAVIA!
James Peters: BETHANY PICKING APART HER TARGET HERE AND MAKING SURE THE MESSAGE IS HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR! YOU DO NOT MESS WITH THE DOCTOR!
Rich Russillo: Bethany seems to have more painful intentions in mind for Octavia as well! She pulls her young opponent up and grabs her by the head! Could this be whiplash again? NO! BETHANY LIFTS OCTAVIA UP VERTICALLY! LOOKING FOR THE FLAT- LINE TO END THINGS HERE IN DRAMATIC FASHION! THIS IS IT!! BETHANY HAS HER IN POSITION!
James Peters: BUT OCTAVIA WITH ANOTHER MOVE OF DESPERATION! SHE REACHES IN AND DIGS HER FINGERNAILS INTO THE EYES OF THE DOCTOR! BETHANY SCREAMS FROM THE SEARING PAIN IN HER EYES! BETHANY FINALLY DROPS THE ROOKIE TO THE MAT AND CLUTCHES HER FACE! SHE SEEMS LIKE SHE CAN’T EVEN SEE RIGHT NOW! AND HERE COMES OCTAVIA—
Rich Russillo: CANADIAN CODEBREAKER! OCTAVIA PLANTS THE BLINDED BETHANY WITH THE CODEBREAKER! SHE ROLLS THROUGH AND MAKES THE COVER! HER EYES SPARKLING WITH PRIDE AS SHE DOES SO!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Persephone: DING! DING! DING!
Rich Russillo: PERSEPHONE THAT IS NOT FUNNY!
Persephone: It made me laugh. Fuck you.
James Peters: The instincts of the mighty Doctor Blue kick in as she powers out at the last moment!
Rich Russillo: Octavia is beside herself as Bethany is rolling away, still trying to blink out what damage was done to her eyes so she can get back into this thing! Octavia is livid! That may have been the best shot she was going to get and it slipped through her fingers! If she does not regroup quickly she certainly won’t get another!
James Peters: Here’s the proving time! This is where legends are made! When matches get into the depths like this and peoples true mettle is tested! Can Octavia get it done or will the doctor come back and take this thing home?
Rich Russillo: Octavia looking to try and take that for herself as she moves in, her eyes wide with a crazed focus as she stares down at Bethany! She runs in right as Bethany gets to a knee— RUNNING KICK TO THE SIDE OF BETHANY’S FACE!
Persephone: THE DOCTOR IS KNOCKED BACK TO THE MAT AND OCTAVIA TRYING TO CAPITALIZE ON ALL OF IT! SHE PULLS THE DOCTOR UP AND GRABS HER INTO POSITION FOR WHAT LOOKS LIKE ONE OF HER SIGNATURES WHICH IS SOME STUPID DDT AND GUILLOTINE CHOKE COMBO!!!
James Peters: But she lets go of Bethany?!?!
Persephone: Is she stupid??? What is she doing!?
Rich Russillo: Octavia has a grin on her face, turning her attention over to Cleopatra! We know these two have some serious issues with each other after what Octavia did to Cleopatra. Octavia didn’t even like that Bethany was helping her sister after that, but is this really the time to think about that? We know Octavia hates Cleopatra, but Cleopatra isn’t the one she’s facing right now!
James Peters: I think an idea might have come to Octavia, and knowing her it can’t be anything good! Cleopatra notices that Octavia has turned her attention towards her, and she warns her sister that she needs to back off!
Rich Russillo: Oh no… and Octavia has that look on her face! She nods! More than happy to oblige! OCTAVIA TURNS AROUND AND BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES, CHARGING IN TO FLY AT CLEOPATRA WITH A SUICIDE DIVE! OCTAVIA JUST DOVE THROUGH THE ROPES, TAKING OUT HER OWN SISTER AS SHE CLEARLY WANTS TO SEND HER A MESSAGE!
James Peters: AND LOOK AT THIS, OCTAVIA IS ALREADY TO HER FEET! SHE GRABS CLEOPATRA BY THE HEAD AND ROLLS HER OVER! WAIT! STOP! STOP!
(A bunch of shifting can be heard as the South Sudan commentators move hurriedly over to the main desk, trying to get away from what is about to take place.)
James Peters: Bless it. I heard Captain Charisma just read ‘Sooley’ by John Grisham and invited the South Sudanese refugees here tonight to watch the show and join our commentary team.
Persephone: I guess their broadcast debuts are about to be short-lived.
Rich Russillo: OCTAVIA HAS CLEOPATRA UP ON THE COMMENTARY DESK! SHE HAS HER SISTER IN POSITION! CLEOPATRA CAN’T ESCAPE! R! I! P! OCTAVIA DRIVING CLEOPATRA THROUGH THE COMMENTARY DESK WITH A VICIOUS SISTER ABIGAIL! THE DESK IMPLODES AROUND THEM AND BOTH WOMEN CRASH THROUGH! NOTHING ILLEGAL BECAUSE ANY DAMAGE TAKEN, OCTAVIA DID TO HERSELF!
Persephone: Can it please be a DQ? I’m ready to go home. Pretty please?
James Peters: Oh she doesn’t look like she took much damage there! Cleopatra got the worst of it! The legendary Cleopatra isn’t moving and we have medical coming out here to check on her! But Octavia is already sitting up! That sadistic grin on her face is very pleased with what she just did! Cleopatra could have a broken neck right now for all we know! And Octavia is just lapping it all up! And now she’s—
Rich Russillo: TJD! DOCTOR BLUE WITH THE SUPERKICK TO THE FACE OF OCTAVIA! DOCTOR BLUE HAD JUST BEEN SITTING BACK AND LETTING ALL OF THIS PLAY OUT! SHE’S ONE OF THE BEST BECAUSE SHE’S SMART AND ALLOWS HER OPPONENTS TO SCREW THEMSELVES! BETHANY HAS A CLEAR OPENING! DOCTOR BLUE NOW HAS THIS MATCH IN HAND! SHE TAKES THE STUNNED OCTAVIA AND ROLLS HER BACK INTO THE RING!
James Peters: Octavia is still reeling from the kick to the face she just ate, and the doctor is climbing up and into the ring! Octavia pushing herself up, knowing she can’t stay down or risk losing this match! She pushes up! And now to her feet! Octavia moves in— THE REMEDY! DOCTOR BLUE JUST LEAPT UP AND HIT THE CUTTER! OCTAVIA IS DOWN AND OUT! DOCTOR BLUE TAKING IT HOME!
Referee: ONNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Persephone: OH MY GAWD!
James Peters: I know! I can’t believe Octavia kicked out either!
Persephone: No! I can’t believe I have to sit here even longer than this! One of you just quit! Or both of you! Please! I CANNOT TAKE IT ANYMORE!
Rich Russillo: Your enthusiasm is noted, Persephone.
James Peters: Octavia just powered out of the Remedy! And Doctor Blue needs to find something else if she wants to finish putting her opponent away! Octavia has shown she can hang with the best but it still comes down to who can actually get the job done at the end of the day! Both of these women have pushed themselves and gone further than I think either expected to need to go, who will come out on top in the end?
Rich Russillo: Octavia is turning away and trying to get to the ropes to help herself stand. Doctor Blue gets to her feet first though! She follows up and drives a boot into the spine of Octavia! Octavia looking for some way back up! Trying to get back into this after she got too focused on her sister! But the doctor is not looking to let up! Bethany grabs Octavia by the hair and pulls her in—
Persephone: SNAP DDT! SHE DRIVES OCTAVIA’S HEAD INTO THE MAT! BETHANY DONE WITH THE GAMES! OCTAVIA IS STILL TRYING TO CRAWL AWAY BUT HER TIME IS WINDING DOWN! BETHANY NOW GRABBING OCTAVIA BY THE WAIST AND LIFTING HER UP! GERMAN SUPLEX! BETHANY DROPS OCTAVIA ONTO THE BACK OF HER ALREADY ACHING NECK!
James Peters: Octavia clasping at the back of her head and neck! The damage has taken its toll on her and now Bethany is just picking apart the woman who assaulted her! Looking to make a statement and teach the rookie a lesson! Punishing her for her crimes! And now Bethany wants to put the final nail in the coffin! She drops down on top of Octavia… AND GRABS HER BY THE FACE! SAY AHHHH! THE DOCTOR ATTEMPTING THE MANDIBLE CLAW!
Rich Russillo: BUT OCTAVIA FINALLY HAS AN ANSWER! SHE HAD THE MANDIBLE CLAW SCOUTED AND SHE GRABS THE DOCTOR’S ARM AND TWISTS THROUGH! SHE FORCES BETHANY DOWN WITH HER! BOTH WOMEN FIGHTING FOR CONTROL! EACH GRIPPING AND GRABBING, TRYING TO TAKE A DOMINANT POSITION OVER THE OTHER!
Persephone: Somewhere backstage, Gavin Kirkland is having a heat stroke.
James Peters: Bethany twists back through, looking to reapply the Say Ahh! BUT OCTAVIA GRABS HER HEAD AND YANKS HER FACE DOWN INTO THE CANVAS! BETHANY’S HEAD BOUNCES OFF THE MAT AND OCTAVIA SLIPS OUT OF HER GRIP! OCTAVIA QUICKLY GRABS BETHANY AND SHOVES HER INTO THE ROPES! AND OCTAVIA FOLLOWS! OVO! SHE HITS THE OVO! BETHANY IS OUT COLD! OCTAVIA HAS DONE IT! SHE MAKES THE COVER! LATERAL PRESS FROM THE LAST QUEEN WHO IS ALL SMILES RIGHT NOW!
Referee: ONNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Persephone: FINALLY! IT’S OVER!
(The referee goes for the three, but before he does he looks down and sees Bethany Blue managed to get her foot on the ropes. Octavia is already celebrating, shouting for her music to play.)
James Peters: THE REFEREE IS TRYING TO TELL OCTAVIA THAT BETHANY’S FOOT IS THE ROPE BEFORE THE FINAL COUNT! OCTAVIA LOOKS BACK AND IS ABSOLUTELY FUMING!
Octavia: (off mic) YOU COUNTED THREE! THAT’S IT! I WON! SHE LOST! CALL THE BELL!
Referee: (off mic) I did not count to three :francis:
Rich Russillo: Octavia is understandably upset but this match continues! How smart is Bethany for not wasting her energy on a kick out? The doctor’s in-ring awareness is spot on.
Persephone: I hate her.
James Peters: OCTAVIA CONTINUES TO SULK BUT NOT FOR LONG IF SHE DOESN’T FOCUS! BETHANY IS UP AND BEHIND OCTAVIA! BETHANY TURNS OCTAVIA AROUND—
Rich Russillo: SAY AHHH!!!!
James Peters: BETHANY SHOVES HER HAND STRAIGHT INTO HER OPPONENTS MOUTH! OCTAVIA WAS TOO WORRIED ABOUT THE MATCH NOT ENDING THAT SHE TOOK HER EYES OFF THE CRAFTY BETHANY! THE ROOKIE GETTING TAKEN DOWN BY VETERAN EXPERIENCE NOW AS BETHANY BLUE PUTS THE PRESSURE IN!
Persephone: OCTAVIA IS FORCED BACK TO THE MAT AND DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE HAS THE MANDIBLE CLAW FULLY LOCKED IN! THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! OCTAVIA HAS NOWHERE TO GO! SHE FLAILS HER ARMS AND SCREAMS THROUGH BETHANY’S HAND! BUT SHE IS FADING! THE REFEREE GOES TO CHECK—
Rich Russillo: HER HAND DROPS! HE LIFTS IT UP AGAIN! AND IT DROPS! THIS IS HER LAST CHANCE! IF OCTAVIA DOESN’T COME TO RIGHT NOW! THIS IS OVER! THE REFEREE RAISES HER HAND!
…
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… BY SUBMISSION… DOCTORRRR BETHANNNYYYYYY BBLLLUUUEEEEEEEEEE!
(“Somebody Get Me a Doctor” by Van Halen hits the speakers as the crowd erupts. Bethany stands to her feet and her hand is raised, she is hurt and she is exhausted, this young competitor having taken more than anticipated to take out. But still she stands victorious. Bethany looks out to ringside where Cleopatra is being taken out on a stretcher after the attack from Octavia earlier. As her doctor, Bethany exits the ring, walking up the ramp with Cleopatra.)
Persephone: YES! IT’S OVER! FINALLY!
James Peters: Doctor Blue pulls out a phenomenal victory! She came in ready to teach Octavia a lesson for messing with her, and she did exactly that! Solid for the Doctor!
Rich Russillo: But what a showing for Octavia! She lost, but she made it clear that she isn’t just some random person walking into the company! Greatness flows in her blood and she wants the world to know it!
(Octavia is seen waking up and getting visibly upset, as Doctor Blue stops at the top of the ramp to look back and smirk at her defeated opponent before following behind the medics to take care of Cleopatra as the camera fades.)
(Commercial for Chicago Style Pizza. IT’S NOT DEEP DISH! IT’S NOT THE SAME THING!)

(After the match graphic flashes on the screen, Bella Braxton looks into the camera and smiles.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘The Emptiness Machine’ by Linkin Park blasts through the P.A. system. The competitor that emerges from the stage is Ms. Extreme! She looks to be in a more outlandish outfit as the reactions in the arena become positive! She scans around the arena before making her way down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Hailing from Calabasas, California, weighing in at 140 pounds… ‘THE FALLEN QUEEN’… MS. EXTREME!!!!
Persephone: Shouldn’t she be in a bad mood???
Rich Russillo: If you’re referring to what happened on Voltage, then yeah, maybe, but overall things have been looking positive for Ms. Extreme despite what happened when she teamed with KASAI, where she would get a massive pinfall over Methuselah and capitalize on what Michael Machina did during their match. This last season has not been good coming from Ms. Extreme herself, as she explained to Molly Waters when it came to struggling these last few months and questioning herself.
James Peters: Well, after KASAI was eliminated from the Empress of Elite tournament, the two exchanged words later on in the show, resulting in that heated exchange turning into this match here tonight at King of Elite.
(Ms. Extreme enters the ring as she poses and fires herself up. As her music fades out, ‘The End’ by BABYMETAL begins to play as KASAI comes out from the backstage area to a mixed reaction here in Chicago. She is poised and focused, staring daggers into her opponent inside of the ring before she menacingly makes her way down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent… Hailing from Amani, Kagoshima, Japan… Weighing in at 145 pounds… ‘THE HUNTRESS’… KASAI!!!
Persephone: Aura farming like crazy.
Rich Russillo: KASAI had done impressively well in the Empress of Elite tournament, knocking off competitors like Effy McAvoy and Mia Santoro. But in the end, she was defeated by Bea Valentine in the semi-final matchup.
James Peters: KASAI now finds herself in this situation with Ms. Extreme with words being exchanged, noting back to both of them competing in the Extreme Elimination Chamber for the Universal Women’s Championship. KASAI looks to get a win following her exit from the tournament while Ms. Extreme is looking for another win herself.
(KASAI enters the ring as she rests in one corner while Ms. Extreme stands in another. Her music fades off as the referee signals for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: The bell rings for this matchup as KASAI and Ms. Extreme go right at each other with a collar-and-elbow tie-up. KASAI gets Ms. Extreme into a wrist lock as she lands a high kick right into the chest of Ms. Extreme, who responds with an open-handed palm strike to the chest of KASAI!
James Peters: These two ladies are already starting this match off hot as now Ms. Extreme rolls forward while still being in a wrist lock and manages to get KASAI into an arm lock. She maneuvers herself around, before snapping the right arm of KASAI!!!
Persephone: Cracked like that hobo I saw outside the arena. He smelled as bad as you do, James.
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme manages to get KASAI into a front facelock Suplex, and connects! She goes for the quick cover on KASAI!
Referee: ONE!
James Peters: KASAI gets the shoulder up on the one count as she pushes off of the ground and gets Ms. Extreme into a Crossface!!! She did that so fast and quickly, my God!!!
Rich Russillo: KASAI has that Crossface locked in on Ms. Extreme! However, Ms. Extreme manages to shift her body around, and now KASAI’s shoulders are pinned on the mat as once again the referee makes the count!
Referee: ONE!
Rich Russillo: Once again, another kick out at one, but that forced KASAI into letting go of that Crossface. They make their way up to their feet, and Ms. Extreme lands a vicious chop to the chest towards KASAI, before grabbing her arm which she now has in her wrist lock as she goes towards the ropes and–
James Peters: SPRINGBOARD ARMDRAG! It connects on KASAI as Ms. Extreme has her in a grounded headlock in the middle of the ring, seemingly taking control of this match! That was a fiery sequence to start things off.
Persephone: Now we’re about to witness some devious headlocks.
Rich Russillo: Not so fast, Persephone, because KASAI is getting back to her feet! She tries to land some elbows toward the abdomen of Ms. Extreme, but she isn’t letting go as the two lean back toward the ropes with KASAI pushing herself off Ms. Extreme! She then runs the ropes!
James Peters: Ms. Extreme comes back only to get met with a Tilt-A-Whirl Armbar!!! KASAI had Ms. Extreme in yet another submission, only this time instead of the Crossface, it’s an Armbar!
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme, however, manages to slither out of the submission before KASAI could lock it in deep as she goes right behind her and goes for a deadly Snap Dragon Suplex, and–
James Peters: KASAI LANDS ON HER FEET! KASAI doesn’t go down with that Snap Dragon attempt as she nails Ms. Extreme with a spinning back elbow right against the back of her head, before following it up with a Neckbreaker!! KASAI gets her first pinfall attempt in the match as the referee makes the count.
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme kicks out at two as KASAI now places her into a Hammerlock and chin lock combination and now looks to be in control of this match. The Chicago crowd looks to be pleased with this match they’re getting here tonight.
Persephone: Eh, these people are too pleased, in my opinion. What we need is some-
James Peters: I’m not going to let you continue that sentence as Ms. Extreme is fighting with everything she can to get out of this predicament of the Hammerlock and chin lock as she manages to get herself off KASAI! Ms. Extreme goes for a slap right in the face and–
Rich Russillo: KASAI IS LAUGHING! SHE’S LAUGHING IN THE FACE OF MS. EXTREME AS SHE RESPONDS WITH A SLAP OF HER OWN! AND NOW THESE TWO TRADE SLAPS AND FOREARMS WHILE ON THEIR KNEES!!!!
James Peters: They both manage to get back up as KASAI goes for another high kick, but Ms. Extreme manages to catch it as she turns into a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! She bridges the move as the referee goes for the cover!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Rich Russillo: KICK OUT! KASAI gets the shoulder up before the referee could nail the three count and Ms. Extreme doesn’t look too fazed that she managed to kick out there.
Persephone: Why would she? A Fisherman Suplex isn’t going to end the match that early.
James Peters: Ms. Extreme brings KASAI back up to her feet as she nails some chops to her chest! The hard hits coming from both of these ladies are already starting to settle in because you can see the redness coming from the chest of The Mad Huntress. Ms. Extreme nails these chops and brings KASAI right into the corner as she sets her up on the top rope.
Rich Russillo: It’s looking like Ms. Extreme may be setting herself up for a Frankensteiner, and it looks like she is about to go for it—
James Peters: KASAI IS LANDING SOME VICIOUS FOREARMS TO HER STOMACH! She stopped Ms. Extreme before she could attempt to do the Frankensteiner, as this brought her onto the second rope! KASAI pushes her down with a Big Boot toward her face as she goes crashing down!
Rich Russillo: KASAI now is in position as she stands on the top rope and goes for a–
James Peters: FLYING HEADBUTT! FLYING HEADBUTT TO THE RIGHT ARM OF MS. EXTREME! KASAI sacrifices her health and well-being doing a diving headbutt to the right arm of Ms. Extreme, and now she has her in a Butterfly Lock!!
Persephone: CTE goes crazy, am I right?
Rich Russillo: KASAI has this Butterfly Lock tightened and secured, and it is such a complex submission maneuver, making it very tricky to get out of this situation for Ms. Extreme! KASAI is looking to make her tap out here tonight at King of Elite!
James Peters: Ms. Extreme isn’t giving up though, no matter how many submissions KASAI is trying to put on her to make her submit this early into the match, she’s not giving up one bit! Ms. Extreme is reaching closer and closer to the ropes as she’s pushing herself despite being in this submission hold!
Rich Russillo: She’s almost there, just a few inches away AND—
Referee: ROPE BREAK!
James Peters: SAFE! Ms. Extreme made it to the ropes as KASAI was forced to let go, with Ms. Extreme quickly rolling to the outside.
Rich Russilo: KASAI looks like a killer in the night as she rolls out of the ring to follow alongside Ms. Extreme, bringing her back onto her feet as she nails a knee lift! She hits another one! AND ANOTHER ONE!
James Peters: Three knee lifts from KASAI as she now gets Ms. Extreme on the apron, and SHE’S GOING TO LAND AN ELEVATED DDT ON THE OUTSIDE! KASAI TRIES TO GO FOR AND–
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME STOPS IT BEFORE KASAI COULD EXECUTE THE MOVE! MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO LAND ON HER FEET AS SHE TRANSITIONS INTO A BELLY-TO-BACK SUPLEX ON THE OUTSIDE TO KASAI!
Persephone: More bumps, More CTE.
James Peters: Ms. Extreme, as fatigued as she may be from her submission, has a lot left to give in this match as she brings KASAI back to her feet. She sets her up, before landing a Back Body Drop right on the edge of the apron! KASAI rolls herself back into the ring and it seems like Ms. Extreme looks to be heading to the top rope as she goes for…
Rich Russillo: A DIVING CALF KICK! It connects as Ms. Extreme goes for the cover on KASAI, the referee makes the count!!!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Rich Russillo: KASAI kicks out once again, as this time she is the one that’s rolling to the outside as she looks to take a breather from the hard-hitting affair of this match. Ms. Extreme notices as she runs from the ropes and back for a Suicide Dive, and—
James Peters: MEDIUM KICK OUT OF MIDAIR! KASAI JUST NAILED THAT KICK RIGHT AGAINST THE CHEST OF MS. EXTREME AS THE NOISE OF THE KICK COULD BE HEARD IN THE OPEN STADIUM HERE TONIGHT IN SOLDIER FIELD! MS. EXTREME’S CHEST IS RED AND BEATEN UP JUST LIKE KASAI’S!!!
Rich Russillo: KASAI quickly takes Ms. Extreme to her feet and slams her right into the ring post!! Ms. Extreme’s head bounces off the post as she goes back down on the outside!
James Peters: LOOK AT THAT! MS. EXTREME IS BLEEDING FROM HER FOREHEAD AS THE BLOOD IS COVERING HER ENTIRE FACE, WITH SOME OF IT EVEN DRIPPING ON THE OUTSIDE! KASAI is reveling in the chaos as she picks Ms. Extreme back up and once again smashes her face into the ring post!!
Persephone: Took her all that to start to bleed? Eh, soft skin.
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme’s face is bleeding even more as KASAI brings Ms. Extreme back into the ring, positioning her, and nailing the Sit-Out Shoulderbreaker!!! She goes right into the pin as the referee makes the count!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
James Peters: Ms. Extreme kicks out! KASAI is shaking her head as perhaps enough damage wasn’t dealt to her to knock her fully out as she’s brought back outside of the ring once again! KASAI has her right against the post as she looks to set something up. What could KASAI possibly go for here?
Rich Russillo: She’s stepping back and IS GOING FOR A HIGH KICK HERE! SHE GOES FOR IT, AND–
(SMACK!)
James Peters: MS. EXTREME MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, AS KASAI NAILS THE RING POST FOOT FIRST AND SHE FEELS THE PAIN COMING FROM THAT HIGH KICK! She was about to destroy Ms. Extreme’s head with that high kick on the post, and now KASAI is leaning on the post—
Rich Russillo: JUMPING SPINNING HEEL KICK TO KASAI! MS. EXTREME CONNECTS AS KASAI LANDS RIGHT AGAINST THE RING POST, AND THE FANS ARE GOING BERSERK! She might have killed The Mad Huntress right there. And now KASAI is busted open from the side of her head, dropping blood down her face and to her neck!
James Peters: These two ladies have beaten each other so much that they’re both bleeding, both laid out on the outside, as the referee starts to count them both out!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE!
James Peters: They’re both starting to get up but barely as the blood is still dripping down, they know this match is far from over between them.
Referee: FOUR!
Referee: FIVE!
Referee: SIX!
Rich Russillo: They both managed to get back into the ring at the same time as KASAI and Ms. Extreme beat the count! They both get right on their knees, and you can see in both of these ladies’ eyes that they want this win so badly. Ms. Extreme has a crimson mask filling her entire face while half of KASAI’s face paint seems to be covered with the blood that was sustained by that Spinning Heel Kick.
James Peters: KASAI is the first to respond as she responds with a calf kick to Ms. Extreme! Ms. Extreme responds with a knee right into the midsection of KASAI!
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme goes for a Saito Suplex, BUT IT’S COUNTERED! As KASAI reverses into a TILT-A-WHIRL BACKBREAKER!
James Peters: KASAI Isn’t done there as Ms. Extreme is still standing but dazed as she springboards for a back elbow attempt and—
Rich Russillo: CAUGHT! Ms. Extreme catches KASAI and lands a German Suplex! Picture-perfect German from Ms. Extreme as she hooks the leg for the pinfall!!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
James Peters: KASAI kicks out immediately as Ms. Extreme transitions and picks KASAI up from her midsection to her feet, landing another German Suplex! Ms. Extreme, without wasting any more time, tries to pick her up once again with all her strength for a third German Suplex—
Rich Russillo: KASAI LANDS ON HER FEET! KASAI lands a gnarly Enziguri right against the side of her head as she brings Ms. Extreme back towards her and–
James Peters: SNAP DDT! KASAI lands the Snap DDT towards Ms. Extreme as she goes for the cover!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE—
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme… KICKS OUT! As KASAI couldn’t put her away with that Snap DDT as this match continues forward! She is looking to inflict even more damage on Ms. Extreme as she brings her to the corner and lights her up with not one but two calf kicks right on her left leg!
James Peters: She’s taking Ms. Extreme down with a Hammerlock Takedown and is now dishing out elbows to that pinned arm of Ms. Extreme. KASAI looks to be in full control of this hard-hitting match as she transitions into a key lock. Once again, she has Ms. Extreme trapped in yet another submission attempt!
Persephone: Ms. Extreme is getting folded like a pretzel, goddamn girl.
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme is in a tricky predicament here as well, but LOOK! She manages to shift her body weight and manages to get on top of KASAI! The referee is making the count as KASAI’s shoulders are on the mat!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE—
James Peters: KASAI gets her shoulder up, but Ms. Extreme still has her as she brings her back toward her and–
Rich Russillo: EXPLODER SUPLEX! EXPLODER SUPLEX RIGHT AGAINST THE CORNER AS MS. EXTREME LOOKS FIRED UP AND PASSIONATE WITH THE BLOOD DRIPPING DOWN HER FACE! SHE’S FEELING HERSELF AS SHE RUNS FROM THE OPPOSITE CORNER AND BACK AND–
James Peters: SUPERKICK! SUPERKICK CONNECTS FROM KASAI, BUT MS. EXTREME ANSWERS RIGHT BACK WITH AN ENZIGURI!!!
Rich Russillo: KASAI ANSWERS THAT WITH ANOTHER KNEE LIFT! SMASHES RIGHT INTO THE BLOODY FACE OF MS. EXTREME, PICKING HER UP FOR–
James Peters: STARBOMB! THE SPINNING CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB AS IT LANDS! KASAI HOOKS THE LEFT LEG OF MS. EXTREME AS THE REFEREE MAKES HIS COUNT!!!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE—
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME GETS HER SHOULDERS UP! SHE’S STILL ALIVE IN THIS MATCH! KASAI IS STARTING TO GET ANNOYED THAT MS. EXTREME JUST WON’T STAY DOWN IN THIS MATCH AS SHE GOES TO THE CORNER!!!
James Peters: KASAI with nothing but ruthless intentions from the look on her face as she sets herself up for what could be the CTE Running Knee Smash!! Ms. Extreme is getting back on her knees as KASAI goes for the CTE and—
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME DUCKS UNDERNEATH THE ATTEMPT MADE BY KASAI!! KASAI TURNS BACK TO GO FOR THE CTE AGAIN, BUT SHE GETS NAILED WITH YET ANOTHER JUMPING SPINNING HEEL KICK! MS. EXTREME HAS HER POSITION AND–
James Peters: CODE RED! THE CODE RED SUNSET FLIP BOMB CONNECTS BY MS. EXTREME AS SHE MAKES THE COVER AND ONCE AGAIN GOES FOR THE PIN!!!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE—
Rich Russillo: KICK OUT BY KASAI AS THESE LADIES HAVE DISHED OUT SOME MAJOR MOVES IN THEIR ARSENAL! KASAI ONCE AGAIN ROLLS HER WAY OUTSIDE OF THE RING TO TAKE A BREATHER!!!
James Peters: YOU CAN SEE THE BLOOD THAT HAS BEEN SPILLED IN THIS MATCH AS EITHER ONE OF THESE LADIES IS TRYING HER HARDEST TO LEAVE CHICAGO AS THE VICTOR HERE TONIGHT!
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME SLOWLY MAKES HER WAY TO THE APRON AND GOES FOR… A DRAGONRANA??? SHE PULLS OFF THE MOVE AND–
James Peters: NO WAIT! KASAI CATCHES HER WHILE IN THE POWERBOMB POSITION! WHAT IS KASAI GOING TO DO HERE???
(BANG!)
Rich Russillo: ON THE BARRICADE! KASAI LANDS A POWERBOMB ON THE EDGE OF THE BARRICADE AS MS. EXTREME IS IN SOME AGONIZING PAIN AT THE MOMENT. My god, Ms. Extreme may be done and out as KASAI nails that devastating maneuver!!
James Peters: KASAI brings an agonized Ms. Extreme into the ring and sets her right up on her knees as she looks to hit the CTE Running Knee Smash! KASAI goes for it once more and—
Rich Russillo: NAILS IT! THE CTE RUNNING KNEE SMASH IS A SUCCESS THIS TIME AS KASAI GOES FOR THE COVER!!!! IT MIGHT BE DONE HERE!!!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE!
Referee: …………
James Peters: MS. EXTREME KICKS OUT! KASAI CAN’T BELIEVE IT AS SHE THOUGHT FOR SURE THAT WAS GOING TO BE OUT FOR HER! KASAI GETS ON TOP OF MS. EXTREME, NAILING OUT EVEN MORE FOREARMS AND PUNCHES TO HER SKULL!
Persephone: KASAI should do that to you as well, giving you that lobotomy you deserve.
Rich Russillo: KASAI stops with the punches as it’s clear that her frustration with trying to put Ms. Extreme away is evident, and now she has her eyes towards the top rope! KASAI knows a way that she can end this match and walk out of King of Elite with this much-needed victory! KASAI goes towards the top rope and is looking to go—YES, THE KITSUNE’S BLESSING, THE MOONSAULT STOMP, AS THEY MAY VERY WELL END MS. EXTREME HERE TONIGHT AT KING OF ELITE! SHE SETS HERSELF UP AND—
James Peters: LOOK! MS. EXTREME WITH ALL HER ENERGY MANAGES TO GET ON THAT TOP ROPE! MS. EXTREME HAS KASAI IN POSITION AS SHE GOES FOR A–
Rich Russillo: TOP ROPE DRAGON SUPLEX!!! A DEVASTATING MANEUVER AS THE ELECTRICITY IN THE ARENA GOES ELECTRIC!!! MS. EXTREME GOES FOR THE COVER AS ONCE AGAIN THE REFEREE MAKES THE COUNT!!!

Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme looks to pick KASAI and tries to see if she can hit another big maneuver on her, and—
James Peters: SMALL PACKAGE PIN! KASAI BY SURPRISE GOT MS. EXTREME INTO A SMALL PACKAGE AS THE REFEREE MAKES THE COUNT!!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE!
Referee: …………
Persephone: DING! DING! DING!
Rich Russillo: Persephone, don’t be like that because Ms. Extreme still managed to kick out, but that was a close call as KASAI almost managed to get away with this match using that Small Package Pin! Ms. Extreme and KASAI get back to their feet as KASAI dishes out a Stepping Side Kick!
James Peters: IT CONNECTS as KASAI gets her opponent up into a Fireman’s Carry looking to connect with it and—

James Peters: Ms. Extreme looks to be heading into the top rope, looking for a move out of desperation!! She might be looking to hit that Shooting Star Senton in this match and-
Rich Russillo: KASAI with a spur of energy quickly gets on top of the corner alongside Ms. Extreme and NAILS A FRANKENSTEINER OFF THE TURNBUCKLES! THE TOP ROPE HURRICANRANA CONNECTS!!!
James Peters: KASAI ISN’T DONE THERE AS SHE BRINGS MS. EXTREME BACK TO HER AND GOES FOR THE MEGATSUNAMI!!!! CAN SHE PULL IT OFF???

Rich Russillo: KASAI WANTS THAT WIN, SHE WANTS IT BADLY AS SHE’S SLAPPING THE HELL OUT OF MS. EXTREME, TRYING TO GO FOR THE MEGATSUNAMI ONCE AGAIN, BUT MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO REVERSE IT AND-
James Peters: AVA LOCK!!! MS. EXTREME HAS THE AVA LOCK CINCHED IN AS THIS COULD BE THE MOMENT WHERE THIS MATCH MEETS ITS CONCLUSION!
Rich Russillo: KASAI IS SCREAMING IN PAIN AS MS. EXTREME IS RELENTLESS! SHE WANTS KASAI RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW! THE PASSION IS FILLING THE AIR, THE CHICAGO CROWD IS GOING CRAZY!!

Rich Russillo: THIS FIGHT CONTINUES! BOTH LADIES ARE DOWN AND OUT FOLLOWING THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBMISSION ATTEMPTS! THEY ARE EXHAUSTED TO A TEE AND HURT AS YOU CAN GET!
James Peters: KASAI IS GETTING UP SLOWLY! SHE’S USING THE ROPES TO HELP HER GET UP, BUT WAIT, LOOK AT THAT!
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME IS GETTING UP AND, LIKE KASAI, SHE’S USING THE ROPES TO HELP HERSELF BACK UP!
(The two competitors share a stare as their will to win is there for either one of them to take.)
James Peters: MS. EXTREME AND KASAI ARE SLOWLY WALKING TOWARDS EACH OTHER AS THEY TRADE MORE SHOTS! MORE ELBOWS! MORE KICKS! BLOOD TRICKLING DOWN ON BOTH OF THESE ELITISTS AS–
Rich Russillo: THEY’RE TRADING HEADBUTTS NOW!
Persephone: They did not need to do that.
James Peters: BUT THEY ARE AS NEITHER OF THEM ARE GIVING UP!!! KASAI’S LAST HEADBUTT THERE MIGHT HAVE SEALED THE DEAL AS MS. EXTREME MIGHT BE DONE AS SHE IS DAZED AS EVER!
Rich Russillo: KASAI IS LOOKING TO NAIL THAT FINAL COFFIN WITH THAT URAI’S CURSE SKULL KICK AS SHE GOES FOR AND–
James Peters: STOPPED BY MS. EXTREME! SHE BLOCKED IT OFF AS MS. EXTREME GRABS KASAI, AND SHE LANDS RED QUEEN RAMPAGE! SHE LIFTS HER BACK UP FOR ANOTHER ONE!
Rich Russillo: SHE ISN’T THERE SHE’S GOING BACK FOR A THIRD, AND SHE HITS IT!!!
James Peters: THREE STRAIGHT RED QUEEN RAMPAGES AS KASAI IS KNOCKED RIGHT OUT, BUT I DON’T THINK MS. EXTREME IS DONE YET! SHE’S GOING FOR THE KILL SHOT!
Rich Russillo: HOLY GROUND! LEAPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP CONNECTS AS THE REFEREE MAKES THE COUNT!!!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE!
Referee: …………
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… MS. EXTREME!!!!
(‘The Emptiness Machine’ plays in the arena as Ms. Extreme found herself victorious in her match against KASAI. KASAI rolls out of the ring as Ms. Extreme slowly gets herself up. The referee checks up on her, and he then raises her arm in victory as the crowd here in Chicago gives a positive reception.)
James Peters: What a match that was, Rich. That was a hard-hitting slugfest between these two performers, and they killed it. KASAI and Ms. Extreme gave it their all, and it was shown tonight by the amount of blood that was spilled.
Persephone: WOOHOO, CAMILLE IS NO LONGER DEPRESSED!
Rich Russillo: All the credit in the world to KASAI, she gave her everything in tonight’s match, but at the end of it all, it was Ms. Extreme who came out on top, standing as your winner. Congratulations to Ms. Extreme on the well-deserved win!
(Ms. Extreme celebrated with the Chicago crowd as she got a massive win here tonight at King of Elite. KASAI is on the outside looking in as Ms. Extreme prevails as your winner with King of Elite proceeding to continue forward.)

(The camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)
Gina Romano: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: And it is for the EAW National Elite Championship!
( “Woke Up” by XG hits to loud boos from the audience.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first… the challenger from Fukui, Japan she is MIKU SAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKAIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!
(Miku Sakai comes out to the ring getting into an argument with a SOSA Henderson fan at ringside. She is handing out signed pictures of herself photoshopped with the National Elite Championship around her waist to fans. She looks appalled as one fan tears the picture up.)
Eve: Damn these fans definitely hate Miku. But she is a very skilled competitor who has been champion before in the past. She thinks that many people have forgotten how dominant of a competitor she used to be, and she is determined to give them a reminder.
Deadprez: Winning the National Elite Championship from a legend like SOSA Henderson would be a great start to that. I think I would be convinced. But SOSA is a Grand Slam Champion who has done it all here and beating him is not going to be easy for anyone.
Gavin Kirkland: I believe in her though. Miku is so fine. Holy shit I can barely control myself! She should let me be in her corner!
Eve: I miss when you used to only simp for blondes. It was a simpler time.
Gavin Kirkland: It’s 2025 Eve. I don’t discriminate. I like to think I have grown as a person since then.
( “Faneto” by Chief Keef hits to cheers from the crowd. )
Gina Romano: And her opponent… from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania he is the National Elite Champion… SOSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HENDERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSONNNNNNNNNN!!!!
(SOSA Henderson comes flying out through the curtain as he hypes up the crowd and makes his way to the ring. He is shown looking at one of the handed out photos of Miku with his title and laughs at it before holding up his title to declare he is the one and only true holder of the National Elite Title here in EAW.)
Eve: SOSA is no doubt one of the best wrestlers in EAW and he continues to make a name for himself with more and more titles. Basically, nobody in EAW has become a Grand Slam Champ but SOSA has done it!
Deadprez: It is definitely not an easy thing to do. He’s won World Titles. He’s won Tag Team Titles. He’s won New Breed Titles. He’s won National Elite titles. But the question is can he hold onto it?
Gavin Kirkland: He can’t. Because Miku is mommy.
Eve: No.
Gavin Kirkland: Yes.
Deadprez: Um let the match begin!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: The match is now underway! This is going to be an intense close contest! I have no idea who will wi-
Deadprez: Miku Sakai jabs SOSA Henderson hard right in the eye! SCHOOL GIRL ROLLUP!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE’S STEALIN IT!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: DING! DING! DING!
Eve: Bro really said “DING! DING! DING!” like the match was over. Fuck out of here.
Gavin Kirkland: I was trying to trick you. Did you fall for it?
Eve: No.
Deadprez: Not at all.
Gavin Kirkland: Damn. :mjcry:
Eve: SOSA Henderson looks mildly annoyed that Miku Sakai pulled such a dirty tactic like that. He gets back up and mockingly claps for her success but tells her to her face that it was only a two count. Miku does not look happy about that. She was hoping to get a quick win. They are going to actually have to wrestle now, and she doesn’t like that idea.
Deadprez: Miku Sakai with another thumb to the eye!!!-
Eve: No! SOSA saw it coming this time! SOSA grabs her by the arm and tosses her across the ring with an Arm Drag. Miku rolls through back up to her feet to stare down on SOSA once again. SOSA grabs her by the arm but Miku flips over it and lands on her feet grabbing the leg of SOSA and flipping him forwards. But SOSA cartwheels across the ring into the ropes. Miku runs up on him going in for a Clothesline to send him over the top to the outside. But SOSA dodges it and tosses Miku up over him. Miku swings around and lands on the apron as SOSA whirls around. SOSA turns around and eats a punch to the face from Miku. SOSA falls backwards into the ring as Miku leaps up to the top rope and Springboards in with a Flying Forearm!-
Deadprez: But SOSA Henderson grabs the arm of Miku in midair and throws her forward with another Arm drag. This time he holds onto the arm and applies an Armbar, but Miku rolls out of it quickly flipping over and tossing her leg into the ropes.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! That’s enough! Call for the bell! SOSA you are disqualified!
SOSA Henderson: (off-mic) What…
Referee: Just kidding bro. You should see your face.
SOSA Henderson: (off-mic) …
Gavin Kirkland: Our officials are so unprofessional. I could never.
Eve: You literally aren’t wearing pants right now.
Gavin Kirkland: What can I say? It is a Miku Sakai match.
Eve: …
Deadprez: Umm anyway… The match… SOSA is not disqualified as he lets go of Miku and she gets back up. They lock up quickly in the ring with a collar and elbow tie up. But Miku shoves SOSA hard backwards into the corner. But he powers out of it and shoves Miku all the way across the ring into the opposite corner. It’s pretty clear that SOSA has the strength advantage here, but Miku might have the agility as she runs up the turnbuckle in the corner and leaps over SOSA! She grabs him around the waist and pulls him into a Sunset Flip! The cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Referee: TW-
Eve: Kickout with authority from the National Elite Champion!!!
Deadprez: Both competitors back up but SOSA pulls himself up on the apron. Miku rushes in with a Running Forearm knocking him off the apron. SOSA sprawls out and crashes out on the outside. Miku raises up her arms in the air to celebrate!-
Gavin Kirkland: But SOSA quickly got back up on the outside and grabbed the leg of Miku yanking her to the outside of the ring as well! Miku was celebrating a little too prematurely there! Come on Miku! You’re better than that!
Eve: And now SOSA is laying into Miku on the outside brawling into her with repeated punches and strikes to the skull! Miku is trying to fire back but she can’t do much! Miku with a hard knee to the gut but a European Uppercut from SOSA sends Miku into the ring post and she smashes the back of her head into the metal pole! Miku collapses on the outside as SOSA charges in with a Running Knee smashing her head into the post! SOSA then grabs Miku and whips her hard across the ringside area into the barricade at ringside. Miku goes back first into the barricade as SOSA rushes in!!!
Deadprez: SOSA HENDERSON SPEARS MIKU SAKAI THROUGH THE BARRICADE!!!
Eve:
Deadprez: No! The barricade didn’t break! But SOSA hit that Spear at full force and Miku took it all! But SOSA also hit his head on the barricade when it didn’t break through with the Spear! SOSA putting his body on the line for that title! That’s how much it means to him!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Gavin Kirkland: Did the referee forget to start counting right away? Damn bro come on… Your job is not that hard…
Eve: I guess the referee is being lenient. But the count is on as both competitors are slowly getting back up.
Referee: FIVE! SIX!
Deadprez: Both competitors are back up as SOSA Henderson staggers backwards holding his head, but Miku Sakai is barely standing up. SOSA stumbles over to Miku and yanks her up by the hair before whirling around violently before slamming Miku’s head hard into the ring apron. Miku getting her head bashed in out here before SOSA grabs her and tosses her into the steps knocking them over and sending the steps flying everywhere.
Referee: SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TE-
Eve: SOSA Henderson quickly rolls back into the ring and then out of the ring again to reset the count. He wants to take his time beating the hell out of Miku Sakai! SOSA kicks the steps out of his way as he leaps off part of the steps and onto Miku with a Leg Drop across her neck. Miku moved out of the way!
Deadprez: But SOSA had it scouted and managed to land on his feet! He turns around and grabs Miku and takes her down with a Swinging Neckbreaker!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Gavin Kirkland: The referee is still counting as SOSA is looking to do more damage outside the ring and drags Miku over to the announce table! SOSA slams Miku’s head into the table! No! Miku got an arm up on the table and prevented SOSA from slamming her headfirst into the ring! Miku back elbows the head of SOSA knocking him backwards before charging in at him spearing him back first into the ring apron! Miku fighting for her life!
Referee: FOUR! FIVE! SIX!
Eve: Miku now lighting up the abdominal region of SOSA Henderson as well as the forehead region and the chest region with a variety of strikes. She’s hitting all regions!
Gavin Kirkland: This is the National title. Miku needs to learn to stick to only one region or I won’t acknowledge her as champion.
Deadprez: Hard haymaker to the face of SOSA knocks him down as Miku Sakai connects with a Spinning Knee Strike as he lands on his hands and knees and collapses to the floor. Miku with a chance now to turn this around as she lifts SOSA up with impressive strength. Military Press Back first onto the ring steps!
Referee: SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TE-
Eve: Miku Sakai rolls in the ring and back out! The count resets again! But I think Miku has had enough of the outside the ring environment. She grabs SOSA by the tights and lifts him up before tossing him into the ring! Miku climbs in and goes for the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: T-
Deadprez: Kick out! The champ lives on! Miku pulls SOSA up and whips him into the corner. Miku lights up the chest of SOSA with repeated chops to the chest. She is really beating on him and eventually SOSA collapses in the corner. Miku then drives her knee into SOSA’s face as the referee counts her off. She backs off but then runs in with a Double Knee Strike into the corner. SOSA just got hammered as he falls backwards into the ring on his back. Miku is now looking to go up to the top rope. Miku has this here! She goes for the leap!!!
Eve: Miku Sakai with a Flying Body Splash off the top rope!!!-
Deadprez: SOSA Henderson moved out of the way! Miku Sakai crashes and burns as she does a belly flop in the middle of the ring! And SOSA rolls her overlooking to take advantage as he goes for the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Referee: T-
Eve: Miku Sakai kicks out! But I am not sure SOSA was even expecting to win off that. He immediately transitions into a Headlock to keep Miku in his control. But Miku is forcing her way back up to her feet. She breaks free but SOSA grabs her from behind and tosses her backwards with a German Suplex! Great form as he drops Miku hard right on her head! SOSA pulls Miku up and… hits a hard spinning backhand sending her flying backwards into the corner. SOSA is now disrespectfully slapping Miku around in the corner with both palms! SOSA then begins laying into Miku with repeated shoulder thrusts into the corner before yanking her by the arm into the ring and connecting with a Spinning Side Slam! SOSA to another cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TW-
Gavin Kirkland: Miku kicks out! SOSA pulls her up and throws her into the ropes. SOSA goes for a Back Body Drop! But Miku kicks him hard in the face as she returns from the ropes! Miku rushes in and takes SOSA down with a Running Clothesline! No! SOSA ducked low! SOSA grabs Miku by the waist and lifts her up spinning her around and driving her back first into the mat with a devastating Spinebuster! Miku is laid out as SOSA pulls her up only to knock her back down with a Leaping Clothesline! SOSA got all of it and continues to wear Miku out as he goes for yet another cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWoOO-
Eve: Miku kicks out! SOSA wisely going for many covers here forcing Miku to expend as much stamina as possible. Every move and every cover he hits gets him that much closer to the desired three count! The crowd is heavily behind SOSA here, but he isn’t playing to the crowd and instead is focusing on the task at hand. SOSA grabs Miku by the leg and twists her around possibly going for a Figure 4 Leglock! No! Miku kicks him away into the ropes. But SOSA runs off the ropes and drops an elbow down on Miku!-
Deadprez: No! Miku got the legs up! SOSA went for the elbow drop but it backfired! Miku grabs SOSA and starts to pull him up but she collapses clearly in too much pain to capitalize. Instead, both wrestlers slowly get back to their feet as they meet in the ring. SOSA is somehow the first to get up as he kicks Miku hard in the gut! She managed to fight him off briefly, but he might regain control immediately here! SOSA grabs Miku from behind and tosses her back! Back Drop incoming!-
Eve: No! Miku flipped out of it! Miku flips over the shoulder of SOSA and lands on her feet with impressive agility. Miku now from behind grabs SOSA by the tights and rushes him throat first into the ropes! Miku continues to hold onto SOSA and rushes him across the ring into the corner! Miku throws SOSA at full speed shoulder first into the corner between the ropes! There was a sickening thud as SOSA just smashed into the post! SOSA’s shoulder might have been dislocated there! He is screaming in pain!
Deadprez: Damn Miku Sakai came back, and she came back in a big way! The crowd is not at all happy about this, but Miku just gives them the finger and then goes back to attacking SOSA who is sitting in the corner! Miku with repeated punches on SOSA as she targets his injured shoulder beating him down until he is fully on the ground! Miku grabs SOSA by the tights and yanks him up to his feet. Miku picks SOSA up before wrapping his arms around and pulling him up…
Gavin Kirkland: She’s going for that one thing…
Eve: The StarFall connects!!! MIKU WITH ONE HELL OF A VERTEBREAKER! SOSA’S SHOULDER GOTTA BE RAGING IN PAIN!
Deadprez: The cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Eve: No! SOSA Henderson kicked out! Miku Sakai is raging! Miku begins stomping furiously on SOSA clearly not pleased he kicked out. Miku picks SOSA up again and grabs him by the tights sending him shoulder first into another turnbuckle post! SOSA screams as his shoulder continues to take damage and Miku is clearly enjoying it. She is very sadistic and she’s gonna do it again!
Deadprez: Miku grabs SOSA and whirls him around sending him shoulder first into another turnbuckle post! No! SOSA manages to turn it around and throws Miku into the corner instead!!!-
Gavin Kirkland: But Miku gets her arms up on the corner stopping herself from going into the post like SOSA did before. Miku turns around and SOSA rushes in! But Miku ducks his Clothesline! Miku off the ropes with a Running Shoulder Tackle and she drops SOSA by slamming her full weight into his pained shoulder! Miku manages to retain control of this thing knocking the wind out of SOSA! SOSA now on the mat in pain as Miku goes for the cover!
Eve: No! Miku isn’t going for the cover! She climbs on top of SOSA and begins laying into him with hard forearms to the skull! Miku is battering SOSA until he loses this thing by KO! SMASH! SMASH! SMASH! SOSA is helpless!
Deadprez: Miku Sakai stands up before stomping down hard right on the nose of SOSA and it looks like he is bleeding from the nose after all of that head trauma. SOSA might have a broken nose after all that! Miku notices the blood and it is clear she is pleased with her work here tonight. She stands up and takes in the scenery as the crowd boos her even louder.
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) I’M THE NEXT CHAMP! PUT SOME RESPECT ON MY NAME!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Eve: The crowd is most definitely not feeling Miku Sakai here tonight.
Crowd: Fuck outta here Miku. Nobody wants to see you win this title. Put the fries in the bag. Take the L.
Deadprez: Damn the crowd is savage tonight. Miku is not phased however as she ignores them and turns back to SOSA and kicks him hard in the shoulder. Miku picks SOSA up and whips him across the ring. SOSA comes running back and Miku with a Big Boot kicks him right in the shoulder! SOSA goes spiraling back down to the mat!
(Miku Sakai spins her hand around before cupping it to her ear and smiles as she takes in the hateful reaction from the crowd.)
Crowd: SOSA! SOSA! SOSA!
Gavin Kirkland: The crowd is willing SOSA on, but it doesn’t seem to be doing any good as Miku is in full control and looks to be en route to winning the National Elite Championship! SOSA is down… Miku runs off the ropes and connects with a Guillotine Leg Drop! Mikumania is running wild! Miku with the cover!
Referee: O-
Eve: What the hell?!?! SOSA Henderson kicked out immediately! It’s almost as if that leg drop over his neck had no effect! SOSA stands back up and Miku is shaken. Miku falls backwards into the corner in surprise as SOSA charges in and begins laying into her with right hands out of nowhere! SOSA getting a second wind out of nowhere as Miku was not at all expecting this!
Deadprez: This is why SOSA Henderson is one of the greatest of all time! You can’t count him out! He is doing miracles on us tonight!
Eve: Miku is knocked down into the corner as SOSA grabs her and pulls her up. SOSA going in for the STOLE YO BITCH!!!
Deadprez: But Miku manages to avoid it and leaps out to the apron. But SOSA grabs her and hooks the arm! SOSA pulls Miku backwards into the ring with a Suplex over the ropes and drops Miku onto her back in the ring! SOSA now going up top! He has some big plans out here!
Eve: SOSA BOMB OFF THE TOP!!!!-
Deadprez: No! SOSA missed! What a massive fail!
Gavin Kirkland: Both competitors are down now as SOSA fucked up his shoulder real bad with that failed Swanton Bomb. SOSA begins slowly getting back up, holding his shoulder in pain as Miku begins getting back up as well. Miku shoves SOSA away from her but SOSA shoves back! Both competitors on their hands and knees slowly getting back up and taking swipes at each other! They eventually manage to find their footing and clash in the middle of the ring once again! They are trading right hands! SOSA! MIKU! SOSA! MIKU! SOSA! MIKU! SOSA! SOSA! SOSA!
Gavin Kirkland: Sosa Henderson gets the advantage on MIKU Sakai!!!
Eve: I’m not comfortable with the way you are pronouncing their names. Please stop that.
Gavin Kirkland: ?
Deadprez: SOSA ducks an attempted punch from Miku and kicks her hard in the gut! SOSA drops Miku with a Jumping DDT! SOSA to the pin!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-
Eve: No! The challenger survives! Miku is pulled by up by SOSA and he hooks her by the head. Going for another DDT! But Miku holds onto the ropes as SOSA falls backwards and slams the back of his head into the mat! Miku then grabs SOSA’s legs and goes for the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
(Miku Sakai puts her legs up on the ropes!!!)
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
(Miku Sakai continues to throw all of her legs up on the ropes even getting her legs all the way up onto the top rope while pinning SOSA in a particularly egregious form of cheating.)
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Eve: NOT THIS WAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: IT’S OVER!!
Referee: …
Deadprez: But the referee isn’t calling for the bell.
Referee: Are you fucking kidding me right now?
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) ?
Referee: Get your legs off the ropes right now!
(Miku Sakai is looking confused at the referee as he explains to her that he saw her blatantly trying to steal the match.)
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) I did nothing wrong!
Referee: Orly?
Gavin Kirkland: Miku Sakai is now arguing with the referee and accusing him of screwing her and costing her the title! This referee is just mad because she loves me more than him!
Eve: That is not the reason at all. Miku was blatantly trying to cheat!
Deadprez: Miku needs to focus on the match! It’s not over!
(As Miku and the referee argue SOSA rolls her up from behind!!!)
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: No! Miku kicked out! SOSA almost retained!
Deadprez: Miku gets back up and she looks outraged that SOSA almost won the match because she took her eyes off the prize. She goes in for a running Clothesline! But SOSA with a hard jab to the face catching her on the cheek! Another one! And another one! Miku falls backwards into the ropes almost falling over but SOSA grabs her by the arm. SOSA yanks on Miku’s arm whipping her across the ring! SOSA catches Miku… He grabs her by the legs and tips her over!
Gavin Kirkland: SOSA Henderson goes to lock in the Sharpshooter!!! He flips Miku over and twists her into position! Miku is going to have to tap out here!
Eve: Miku is screaming in pain in that Sharpshooter as she desperately reaches out with her arms! But she can’t reach the ropes! Miku is screwed!
Deadprez: Miku crawls and scratches into the ring mat as she desperately tries to reach out to the ropes! She pulls herself but SOSA is only increasing the pressure! SOSA tries to pull Miku back away from the ropes! But she is making gains!
Eve: Miku Sakai crawls across the ring in the Sharpshooter submission hold as she is now nearly touching the bottom rope! She reaches out! But she can’t reach it!
Deadprez: MIKU SAKAI TAPS OUT! SOSA RETAINS!!!
Gavin Kirkland: No! Miku’s hand came down over the bottom rope! The hold is broken!!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIV-
Eve: SOSA Henderson reluctantly relinquishes the Sharpshooter! But the damage is done! SOSA nearly tapped out Miku there and now he is looking to capitalize. He goes up to the middle rope… Miku is on her hands and knees… HERE IT COMES!!
Deadprez: PAID IN FULL OFF THE TOP ROPE!!!
Eve: No! Miku Sakai managed to avoid the Double Curb Stomp! She almost got stomped into the mat and that would have been it! But Miku survives! SOSA lands on his feet but Miku grabs him and connects with a Belly to Belly Suplex out of nowhere tossing SOSA across the ring! Miku now with a chance to turn things around… Miku picks SOSA up again…
Deadprez: Miku throws SOSA backwards into the corner! She charges in with the Mustache Ride! Miku Sakai going all out with that Bronco Buster right in the face of SOSA!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku then pulls SOSA in and runs up to the corner. Miku positions herself on the middle turnbuckle pad before spinning around and around…
Eve: TORNADO DDT CONNECTS! MIKU TO THE COVER!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: No! SOSA Henderson stays alive! Miku Sakai is now throwing a temper tantrum in the ring. She pounds angrily on the mat and yells at the referee.
Eve: I don’t think that is going to help at all!
Deadprez: Miku Sakai has snapped! She jumps on top of SOSA Henderson and begins clawing into his eyes with her long fingernails!
(SLASH! SLICE! CUT!)
Gavin Kirkland: Damn! Miku is really gouging into the eyeballs of SOSA Henderson with those fingernails! I believe she calls this move Cat Scratch Fever!!!
Eve: The fact that a literally illegal move is named and considered one of her signature moves really says it all about who this woman is…
Deadprez: Yeah and the blood pouring from the eye sockets of SOSA Henderson says it all about how effective it is!
(The referee yanks Miku Sakai off SOSA Henderson and gives her a stern warning before checking on SOSA who is literally crying blood from his eyeballs. The referee glares at Miku before allowing the match to continue.)
Deadprez: Damn. This referee lenient AF!
Eve: The referee knows that there must be a winner! We need to know who the real National Elite Champ is between these two! Miku then turns back to SOSA and pulls him up and puts him in powerbomb position. What does she have in mind here? Miku picks SOSA up onto her shoulders… But she throws SOSA over her shoulders instead of slamming him down sending him face first into the mat! And now Miku is going up top! Miku is now mocking SOSA’s fans from the top rope!
Deadprez: Miku with a Swanton Bomb of her own! Miku with the SOSA Bomb on SOSA Henderson! The disrespect!
Eve: Miku with the cover! Could this be it?!?!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Eve: SOSA Henderson gets his arm under the bottom rope! I’m not sure if he did that consciously or if it was just pure instinct! Either way the champ stays alive!
Deadprez: Miku Sakai looks absolutely furious as she puts her fingernails into a claw like position and lunges at SOSA’s eyes once again!-
Eve: But SOSA saw her coming and yanked the bottom rope moving out of the way! Miku went tumbling to the outside instead as she lunged for SOSA and missed! SOSA then runs the ropes as Miku gets up on the outside!
Deadprez: SUICIDE DIVE!!
Gavin Kirkland: SOSA Henderson putting his body on the line! Showing that he is willing to do what it takes to stay in this thing!
(SOSA Henderson is shown grabbing a towel from a fan at ringside and rubbing the blood out of his eyes so that he can actually see for the rest of the match.)
Gavin Kirkland: Damn. That fan is getting to take SOSA’s actual blood home with him as a souvenir. What a lucky fan. Do you think that Miku would let me rub a towel on her-
Deadprez: Imma stop you right there homie. No. No she won’t. Not at all. Not whatever sick shit you were gonna say. Never.
Gavin Kirkland: *crying sounds*
Eve: SOSA Henderson bashes Miku Sakai’s head off the steel ringsteps before tossing her back into the ring! SOSA goes after Miku!
Deadprez: But Miku grabs SOSA by the tights out of nowhere and pulls him into a Small Package!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: SOSA kicks out! Damn Miku almost stole it…
Eve: Both competitors now back up! Miku runs in at SOSA with a Running Clothesline!-
Deadprez: But SOSA catches her and throws her up in midair before catching her! Running Powerslam connects! SOSA slammed Miku down hard with force!
Eve: But SOSA is too hurt to capitalize and get to the pin! SOSA just had enough left in the tank to pull that off and now both competitors are down and out! The referee is beginning the count, and this could end in a draw!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Deadprez: If this match ends in a draw… SOSA retains!
Referee: SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT!
Gavin Kirkland: SOSA Henderson is slowly getting back up to his feet pulling up on the ropes! No! Come on Miku! Don’t let it end like this! I believe in you baby girl!
Referee: NINE! TEN!
Eve: No! Miku Sakai manages to grab the ropes and pulls herself up in the corner! The match continues! Both competitors are up and SOSA has a look of determination on his face as he charges in at Miku in the corner!-
Deadprez: But Miku gets a boot up and kicks SOSA away from her! SOSA falls backwards as Miku charges in! But SOSA moves out of the way and grabs Miku by the hair! SOSA throws Miku backwards into the corner and charges in and drives Miku into the corner with a Shoulder Thrust goring her as hard as he possibly can! Miku just had the wind knocked out of her! And now SOSA is beating the living hell out of Miku in the corner! The crowd is electric and egging him on!
Eve: SOSA has lost it and he is hammering into the face of Miku! Miku is becoming battered and bruised as she collapses down in the corner with blood falling down her face! Miku is definitely going to have a black eye tomorrow after this! And now SOSA is stomping a mudhole into Miku! SOSA is ruthless! Relentless! SOSA backs up and then charges in with a Running Punt Kick right into the jaw of Miku kicking her head off! Miku collapses down to the mat and she is not moving! SOSA now looking to put her away!
Deadprez: SOSA pulls Miku’s limp body up and connects with the STOLE YO BITCH outta nowhere!!! SOSA to the cover!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! MIKU! MY BELOVED! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-
Gavin Kirkland: I gotta save her!
Referee: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: Get back here Gavin!
Deadprez: Miku Sakai kicked out! How in the hell?
Gavin Kirkland: Damn. I guess she didn’t need me after all! This time…
Eve: Not next time either. Sit down or else.
Deadprez: Gavin embarrassing himself but Miku not doing that at all. She is proving that she can take SOSA’s most devastating move and still survive! But how much more does she have left?!?!
Gavin Kirkland: SOSA grabs Miku and it looks like he is going to go for it again!
Eve: STOLE YO BITCH!!!-
Deadprez: No! Miku Sakai shoves SOSA away from her sending him into the ropes! Miku grabs SOSA from behind and rolls him up! Miku going for the steal!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNN-
Eve: But SOSA Henderson quickly powers out! Miku back up as SOSA runs at her with a Running Clothesline trying to take her head off!-
Deadprez: BUT MIKU SAKAI PULLS SOSA HENDERSON INTO THE CUCK KILLER!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: YES! MY LOVELY MIKU GOT IT!! NEW CHAMP! NEW CHAMP! COVER HIM!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: …
Referee: . . .
Referee: . .. … .. .
Eve: DAMN! SOSA KICKED OUT! SOSA IS STILL THE CHAMP! SOSA SURVIVES!!! HOW CAN THIS BE!?!?
Crowd: SOSA! SOSA! SOSA!
Deadprez: The crowd is fully behind SOSA! Miku is slapping the mat in anger! She has been desperate this entire match, but she just can’t seem to find a way to put SOSA away for good!
(Miku Sakai is shown yelling at the crowd telling them to shut up as she goes to grab SOSA.)
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) You dumb idiots should be chanting my name!!! I’ll give you something to cheer about…
Eve: What is Miku Sakai going for here? She pulls SOSA in…
Deadprez: Miku Sakai lunges at SOSA’s face with her fingernails! This crazy bitch is at it again!
Eve: CAT SCRATCH FEVER! MIKU IS SCRATCHING INTO THE EYES OF SOSA! SHE IS STABBING HIS EYEBALLS WITH HER LONG SHARP FINGERNAILS!!! AHH!!
Deadprez: Oh god this is hard to watch! She is slashing up his face with those nails and gouging repeatedly into the eyes! Her fingers are completely red and covered with blood.
Referee: Oh nah! Get off him! ONE! TWO! THREE!
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) YOU WON’T LET ME TAKE YOUR TITLE?!?!?! I’LL TAKE YOUR FUCKING EYESIGHT INSTEAD!!!
Referee: FOUR! FIVE! GET OFF RIGHT NOW!!!
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) I’M GOING TO RIP YOUR EYEBALLS OUT YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!! AHHHH!!! I’M GOING TO PLUCK TH-
Eve: Suddenly Miku Sakai falls off SOSA Henderson! What the hell just happened?
Deadprez: SOSA with a low blow! SOSA desperately kicked Miku between the legs and knocked her off him!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: Oh nah.
Deadprez: A DQ for that? Be fr…
Gavin Kirkland: YES! MY QUEEN MIKU WON THE MATCH!!! AND THE TITLE!!!
Eve: You can’t win a title by a DQ dumbass!!!
(Miku Sakai is shown celebrating in the ring as she runs out of the ring and grabs the championship. She begins running around the ring throwing the title into the air as she does a victory lap.)
Gavin Kirkland: AND NEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! COME ON GINA MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
(The referee is shown speaking with Gina Romano as she nods and steps forward with the microphone.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen…
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) I’M THE CHAMP BITCHES!!!
Gina Romano: The official has just informed me that this match has been declared a DOUBLE DISQUALIFICATION!!!
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) BITCH WHAT?!?!
Gina Romano: Which means AND STILLLLLLLLLLL EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION… SOSA HENDERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSONNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(“Faneto” by Chief Keef plays to cheers from the crowd as EAW officials are shown approaching Miku Sakai to take the championship away from her.)
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
(The officials begin to grab the National Elite Championship from Miku Sakai but she holds onto it tightly resisting as they try to yank it away from her.)
Miku Sakai: (off-mic) IT’S MINE! GO AWAY! MINE! FUCK OFF!
(Several officials swarm Miku Sakai and force the championship out of her hands. She collapses to the ground on her knees staring at her blood covered hands looking like she is about to cry from the trauma of having the title taken away from her.)
Gavin Kirkland: This is a travesty!
Eve: Miku should just be happy it was a double DQ and not a one way DQ. She was literally trying to gouge a man’s eyes out. But technically SOSA’s low blow he used out of desperation was also illegal, so I have to respect the referee’s decision to avoid bias.
Deadprez: Agreed. And this way Miku still has a claim for a rematch in the future. This thing definitely feels far from settled!

(The camera pans to show the Empress of Elite crown resting on a podium ringside before cutting to Bella Braxton in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Bella Braxton: AND IT IS THE FINAL MATCH IN THE EMPRESS OF ELITE TOURNAMENT!
(“Gloria” by Laura Branigan plays to a mixed reaction from fans. Bea Valentine does a little twirl onto the stage, and appears focused ahead of her match with Daniella Atlas. Bea Valentine nods, psyching herself up that she can do this before making her way down to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Hailing out of Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 143 pounds…SHE IS THE TRANSIENT…BEA VALENTINE!!
Stew-O: Bea Valentine is definitely one of the more… eccentric talents from the Voltage brand. But talented regardless, having gone through multiple women, including KASAI to get here.
Gavin Kirkland: And with that, her confidence has skyrocketed as of late.
Stew-O: But I wonder what a loss tonight could do to it.
(‘Vortex’ by Jinjer plays next, accompanying Daniella Atlas, who walks out onto the stage. Daniella looks around briefly, surveying the scene of a packed Pinnacle Bank Arena before marching down to the ring. Her eyes are set solely on Bea, the last obstacle standing in her way of the crown.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent! From Dunkirk, France, weighing in at 121 pounds…THE BLACK FLAME…DANIELLA ATLAS!
Gavin Kirkland: Quick! Do I smell good?
Stew-O: Gavin, I don’t think Daniella would even spit in your direction.
Gavin Kirkland: Why not?
Persephone: Plenty of reasons.
Stew-O: But I’ll be nice tonight, and say it’s because she’s focused, and is ready to follow up that Specialists Championship reign by reaching the next level. Both women are. Each looking to take that next step into their young, but blossoming careers. But in the end, there is only one crown.
(The referee signals for the bell as both competitors stand in opposing corners.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And the Empress of Elite Tournament finals are officially underway!
Persephone: Great. I’m racking with excitement!
Gavin Kirkland: Really?
Persephone: No.
Gavin Kirkland: Well, I won’t let your negativity affect my positivity! It’s Daniella Atlas and Bea Valentine sharing a ring together! This is a fanta- a dream come true for me!
Stew-O: Unfortunately, I imagine for the wrong reasons.
Persephone: Just focus on the match!
Stew-O: You’re right as both Daniella and Bea Valentine exit their respective corners! Closing the distance between themselves to meet in the center of the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: Daniella goes for a collar and elbow tie-up! BUT BEA KNOWS BETTER THAN TO ENGAGE WITH THAT!
Stew-O: THAT’S RIGHT, AND SHE DUCKS UNDERNEATH THE COLLAR AND ELBOW ATTEMPT! DANIELLA SPINS AROUND- BUT EATS A KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST!
Gavin Kirkland: HOWEVER, DANIELLA’S ABLE TO SHRUG IT OFF LIKE THE MUSCLE MOMMY SHE IS!
Persephone: Please avoid using words like “muscle mommy.” Thanks.
Gavin Kirkland: :kyrie:
Stew-O: DANIELLA MARCHES TOWARD BEA, WHO BACKS INTO THE CORNER! BUT THAT GIVES HER NOWHERE TO GO AS DANIELLA LUNGES TOWARDS HER!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! BEA VALENTINE DUCKS UNDERNEATH AGAIN, AND CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOPS TO THE CHEST! FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A RIGHT HAND!
Stew-O: BEA ALTERNATES BETWEEN BOTH! CHOP! PUNCH! CHOP! PUNCH! BEFORE ESCORTING DANIELLA TO THE ROPES, LEANING HER UP AGAINST THEM FOR AN IRISH WHIP!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT ATLAS TURNS THE IRISH WHIP AROUND, SENDING BEA TO THE ROPES INSTEAD! ATLAS SWINGS WILDLY FOR A CLOTHESLINE AS BEA COMES REBOUNDING BACK!
Stew-O: BUT BEA SAW IT COMING, AND DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT! DANIELLA SPINS AROUND- OOH! INTO A SLAP! :damn:
Persephone: :mjlol:
Gavin Kirkland: THAT SLAP ECHOED THROUGHOUT THE ARENA! BUT HAS ONLY SERVED TO PISS OFF DANIELLA!
Stew-O: DANIELLA GRABS BEA BY THE THROAT WITH BOTH HANDS, AND BIELS HER INTO THE CORNER!
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA COMES STORMING TOWARD BEA- BUT BEA GETS HER BOOT UP! STAGGERING ATLAS BACK SLIGHTLY!
Stew-O: BEA HOPS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND LEAPFROGS OVER ATLAS AS SHE RUSHES TOWARD HER! DANIELLA SPINS AROUND IN THE CORNER- BUT GETS CHARGED WITH A RUNNING FOREARM BY BEA!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA GOES TO IRISH WHIP DANIELLA INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER! BUT DANIELLA TURNS IT AROUND! SENDING BEA INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER HARD WITH AN IRISH WHIP!
Stew-O: BEA COMES STAGGERING OUT OF THE CORNER, AND GETS CAUGHT WITH A BACK BODY DROP! DID YOU SEE THAT HEIGHT?!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA VALENTINE FLEW!
Stew-O: AND BEA RETURNS TO HER FEET, FAVORING HER BACK AS SHE WANDERS INTO THE SETUP FOR A SOUTH OF HEAVEN!
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA WENT FOR THE RIPTIDE- BUT BEA SLIPS OUT OVER HER SHOULDER! NOW, BEA BEGINS TO HOOK HER ARMS FOR THE BEA-MY-VALENTINE!
Stew-O: UNPRETTI- NO! DANIELLA BLOCKS IT, AND SHOVES BEA VALENTINE TOWARD THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT BEA HANGS ON, AND DANIELLA RUSHES IN AS A RESULT!
Stew-O: BEA SIDE STEPS WHATEVER DANIELLA HAD PLANNED THERE, AND ATLAS GOES TUMBLING OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE!
Gavin Kirkland: HOWEVER, LANDS ON HER FEET, UNBEKNOWNST TO BEA AS DANIELLA REACHES UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE, GRABBING BOTH LEGS TO TRIP BEA UP!
Stew-O: BEA FACEPLANTS ON THE CANVAS, AND GETS DRAGGED OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE BY DANIELLA LIKE A HORROR MOVIE!
Gavin Kirkland: Please, if I’m getting dragged by Daniella, I’d take part in that movie any day!
Persephone: Can someone please mute this cornball?
Gavin Kirkland: :whoa:
Stew-O: DANIELLA DRAGGED BEA TO THE OUTSIDE, AND BLASTS HER WITH A FOREARM! BUT BEA FIGHTS BACK WITH ONE OF HER OWN! BOTH WOMEN ARE EXCHANGING FOREARMS NOW! FOREARM FROM DANIELLA! FOREARM FROM BEA!
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA! BEA! DANIELLA! BEA! DANIELLA! BEA!
Stew-O: BUT DANIELLA IS STARTING TO MOUNT MOMENTUM WITH A FLURRY OF FOREARMS!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA IS STUNNED AFTER THOSE CONNECTED, AND DANIELLA TAKES A MOMENT TO COLLECT HERSELF AFTER BEING CAUGHT WITH FOREARMS FROM BEA TOO!
Stew-O: BUT BEA SHAKES THE COBWEBS OUT OF HER HEAD IN TIME TO RESPOND WITH MULTIPLE FOREARMS OF HER OWN! CONNECTING IN A ROW!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA GRABS HOLD OF DANIELLA, AND WHIPS HER BACK FIRST INTO A CORNER OF THE BARRICADE!
Stew-O: WAIT! DANIELLA COUNTERED, SENDING BEA BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE INSTEAD! DANIELLA CHARGES IN, BUILDING MOMENTUM AS HER OPPONENT WINCES IN PAIN-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT BEA VALENTINE SENDS DANIELLA UP AND OVER HEAD WITH A BACK BODY DROP ONTO THE CONCRETE FLOOR IN THE CROWD AREA!
Persephone: And that’s the last place you want to be! Think of all the unwashed people in there!
Stew-O: DANIELLA HIT WITH A SICKENING SPLAT! AND BEA CUTS THROUGH THE TIMEKEEPERS AREA, RETRIEVING DANIELLA FROM THE CROWD, AND ROLLING HER BACK INSIDE THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA VALENTINE SLIDES IN, CRAWLING INTO THE DANIELLA!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Stew-O: KICKOUT WITH AUTHORITY! DANIELLA STILL HAS FIGHT LEFT IN THE TANK, AND SITS HERSELF UP OFF THE CANVAS-
Gavin Kirkland: OOH! BEA VALENTINE WITH A PENALTY KICK STRAIGHT TO THE SPINE!
Stew-O: THE SAME SPINE THAT HIT HARD ON THE CONCRETE! DANIELLA CAN’T GRIT HER WAY THROUGH THAT PAIN!
Gavin Kirkland: AND BEA GRABS HER HEAD, STANDING DANIELLA UP BEFORE SHE DIRECTS HER TO THE CORNER! SLAMMING DANIELLA FACE FIRST OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Stew-O: DANIELLA IS STUNNED! AND BEA WINDS BACK, CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST!
Gavin Kirkland: THE PAIN IS ETCHED ACROSS DANIELLA’S FACE BEFORE BEA VALENTINE WINDS BACK FOR YET ANOTHER!
Stew-O: BEA GRABS HOLD OF DANIELLA WHILE SHES DAZED, AND DRAGS HER TO THE CENTER FOR A BODY SLAM! BEA DROPS INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Persephone: As expected, a kickout. Seriously, does anybody lose to a body slam these days?
Stew-O: Was worth a shot on Bea’s part.
Gavin Kirkland: Bea grabs Daniella by the hair, and goes to stand her back up-
Stew-O: BUT DANIELLA EXPLODES FROM OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A FOREARM! DANIELLA WITH A FOREARM TO BEA- WHO STRIKES BACK WITH ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST!
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA FIRES BACK WITH A FOREARM! BUT BEA TAGS HER BACK WITH A REALLY GOOD KNIFE EDGE CHOP THAT SENDS DANIELLA STAGGERING TOWARD THE ROPES AS SHE SPUN AROUND FROM THE IMPACT!
Stew-O: Daniella has leaned herself up against the ropes, and Bea closes in… lining her up for ANOTHER knife edge chop across the chest!
Gavin Kirkland: We need to start having a counter for these!
Stew-O: Knife edge chops have been the main choice of attack from Valentine, who runs off the ropes as Daniella remains leaned against those ropes.
Gavin Kirkland: NOT FOR LONG AS SHE CHASED AFTER BEA VALENTINE, AND CAUGHT HER WITH A FOREARM AS SHE WAS GOING TO REBOUND OFF THAT OPPOSITE SET OF ROPES!
Stew-O: AND DANIELLA GRABS HOLD OF BEA, IRISH WHIPPING HER OFF THE ROPES! BUT BEA COUNTERS DANIELLA! SENDING HER TOWARD THE ROPES INSTEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA DUCKS UNDERNEATH A CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT FROM BEA, AND BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES A SECOND TIME TO DELIVER A RUNNING BACK ELBOW! DANIELLA DROPS INTO THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Stew-O: KICKOUT- BUT IMMEDIATELY DANIELLA IS REACHING DOWN! PULLING BEA UP INTO POSITION FOR THE MEMORY ROOM! SWINGING REVERSE STO!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT BEA SPINS OUT OF IT, AND CHUCKS DANIELLA OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE!
Persephone: What’s this loon going for?
Stew-O: WERE GOING TO FIND OUT AS BEA RUNS OFF THE ROPES! ATTEMPTING A BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK- BUT DANIELLA DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT! CAUSING BEA TO SLIDE OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE STILL, AND LAND ONTO HER FEET!
Gavin Kirkland: AND DANIELLA! DANIELLA SHOVES BEA ONTO HER ASS! SENDING THE BACK OF VALENTINE’S HEAD AND NECK INTO THE BARRICADE!
Stew-O: BEA HIT HARD INTO THAT BARRICADE, AND DANIELLA GOES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE! GRABBING BEA BY THE HEAD, AND ROLLING HER BACK INTO THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA IS IMMEDIATELY BEGINNING TO STIR! ALREADY UP TO ALL FOURS! MEANWHILE, DANIELLA SLITHERS IN UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE! NOT TAKING HER EYES OFF VALENTINE IN THE CORNER!
Stew-O: DANIELLA SHOOTS OUT THE CORNER AS BEA MAKES IT TO HER FEET! WANTING INAMORATA! THAT RUNNING CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT BEA HAS IT SCOUTED, AND ENOUGH WHEREWITHAL TO STILL DUCK UNDERNEATH! DANIELLA TURNS AROUND- BUT ALMOST GETS CAUGHT WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! BUT CATCHES THE BOOT!
Stew-O: DANIELLA THROWS THE BOOT DOWN IN FAVOR OF A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE THAT JACKS BEA VALENTINE’S JAW! BUT BEA REMAINS STANDING AFTER THAT STIFF STRIKE, AND DANIELLA GOES TO FINISH HER OFF AS SHE RUNS OFF THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT BEA SIDE STEPS ATLAS, AND USES THE MOMENTUM AGAINST HER! SENDING DANIELLA OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! DANIELLA LANDS ON HER FEET, AND GOES TO FURIOUSLY RE-ENTER THE RING!
Stew-O: BUT BEA STOPS HER WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK BEFORE SHE CAN DO SO! DANIELLA GOES BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! BUT STAGGERS FORWARD, TRYING TO WILL HERSELF ONTO THE RE-ENTER STILL!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT BEA VALENTINE NIPS THAT IN THE BUD AS SHE RUNS OFF THE ROPES AGAIN, SOARING THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPES WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!
Stew-O: SUICIDE DIVE FROM BEA VALENTINE, AND DANIELLA GOES BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA ROLLS DANIELLA BACK INSIDE THE RING, AND SHE CRAWLS OVER TO THE CORNER! SEATING HERSELF THERE TO GET HER WITS, AND CREATE SEPERATION!
Stew-O: BUT BEA ISNT GOING TO ALLOW HER MUCH OF THAT WITH RUNNING DOUBLE KNEES INTO THE CORNER! BEA SWARM BY BEA!
Persephone: God, her stupid name puns.
Gavin Kirkland: BEA HIT THE RUNNING DOUBLES KNEE INTO THE CORNER, AND BEA ROLLS DANIELLA OUT INTO POSITION AS SHE CRAWLS TO THE TOP ROPE!
Stew-O: UH-OH! BEA IS LOOKING TO FOLLOW THAT UP, AND I THINK I KNOW HOW THIS GOES! …FROG SPLASH!! FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLEBEA HITS ITS TARGET!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA HOOKS THE LEG! BOTH SIGNATURE MOVES CONNECTED BACK TO BACK!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEE-
Stew-O: DANIELLA STILL HAS ENOUGH TO KICK OUT! GETTING THE SHOULDER UP BEFORE THREE!
Gavin Kirkland: Expect both women to demonstrate their resilience in pursuit of the crown. It would look great on either one of these two PAWGs!
Persephone: :roman:
Stew-O: I’m gonna act like I hadn’t heard that.
Persephone: You and me both.
Stew-O: It’s adrenaline or instinct that continues willing Daniella on as she is quickly stirring after the kickout! Daniella crawls to the ropes, using them for assistance in getting to a knee!
Gavin Kirkland: But a lightbulb goes off in Bea Valentine’s head as she notices this, and runs off the opposite set of ropes! BEA IS GOING FOR THAT BEA TRIGGER!
Stew-O: BUT DANIELLA SIDE STEPS OUT THE WAY, AND BEA REBOUNDS BACK INTO DANIELLA’S CLUTCHES FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA GOT DUMPED HIGH ON HER NECK AND SHOULDERS! BUT ROLLS THROUGH TO HER FEET AS DANIELLA HURRIES TO HERS!
Stew-O: FIGHTING SPIRIT BEING SHOWN FROM BEA! BEA SPINS AROUND FOR A DISCUS LARIAT ON DANIELLA- BUT DANIELLA SLIPS BEHIND HER, AND DUMPS BEA WITH ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: AGAIN, BEA IS DUMPED HIGH ONTO HER NECK AND SHOULDERS! BUT DANIELLA! DANIELLA HASN’T LET GO OF THE REAR WAISTLOCK! KEEPING HER HANDS CLASPED!
Stew-O: DANIELLA DRAGS BEA UP TO A KNEE, AND SWITCHES TO A RIPCORD BEFORE SHE STANDS HER UP COMPLETELY! ATLAS IS GOING FOR THAT RIPCORD INAMORATA LARIAT!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT BEA BACKPEDALS INTO THE CORNER TO AVOID IT! SQUISHING DANIELLA BETWEEN THE TURNBUCKLES AND HERSELF!
Persephone: How is this bitch still hanging on!?
Stew-O: DANIELLA STILL HAS FAINT CONTROL OF THAT RIPCORD, AND BEA BREAKS IT FULLY WITH MULTIPLE BACK ELBOWS WHILE ATLAS IS PINNED IN THAT CORNER!
Gavin Kirkland: AFTERWARDS, BEA SPINS AROUND, AND PLACES DANIELLA ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Stew-O: BEA CONNECTS WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST, AND CLIMBS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE! HOOKING DANIELLA UP FOR A SUPERPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT ATLAS FIGHTS BACK WITH SHOTS TO THE RIB CAGE, BREAKING THE ATTEMPT BY BEA! AND DANIELLA HEADBUTTS HER OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE!
Stew-O: BEA REMAINS ON HER FEET, REELING BACK FROM THE HEADBUTT AS DANIELLA CLIMBS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Gavin Kirkland: ATLAS APPROACHES- BUT WANDERS RIGHT INTO A SUPERKICK! SUPERKICK FROM BEA SPINS DANIELLA AROUND, AND SHE GETS CAUGHT WITH ANOTHER SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF HER HEAD! SENDING DANIELLA STUMBLING INTO THE CORNER!
Stew-O: AND BEA COMES FROM BEHIND! LIFTING DANIELLA UP TO THE MIDDLE ROPE IN AN ELECTRIC CHAIR POSITION! BEFORE SHE ATTEMPTS TO POWERBOMB HER OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT DANIELLA HANGS ONTO THE TOP ROPE WITH BOTH HANDS! PUTTING UP A FIGHT!
Stew-O: AND DANIELLA REACHES DOWN! GRABBING BEA WITH BOTH HANDS, AND LIFTING HER UP TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! SHOWING HER POWER! DANIELLA RISES TO THE TOP ROPE, AND LAUNCHES BEA OFF WITH AN AVALANCHE HURRICANRANA!
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA IS DIGGING DEEP INTO HER BAG FOR THE EMPRESS OF ELITE FINALS, AND PULLS HERSELF UP IN THE CORNER AS BEA QUICKLY RETURNS TO HER FEET IN THE CENTER! CLUTCHING AT HER BACK!
Stew-O: DANIELLA SHOOTS OUT THE CORNER FOR A VICIOUS BURNING LARIAT! INAMORATA CONNECTS! DANIELLA HOOKS THE LEG FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEE-
Gavin Kirkland: WOW, BEA VALENTINE GOT THE SHOULDER UP!
Stew-O: Daniella pounds the mat in annoyance, and drags Bea closer to the corner before she climbs to the top rope! Looking to score big!
Persephone: This emo chick is full of surprises.
Gavin Kirkland: Excuse me, the love of my life’s name is Daniella!
Persephone: :cmon:
Stew-O: DANIELLA PERCHES HERSELF ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, AND DIVES OFF ONTO BEA WITH A SENTON! BEA RISES TO ALL FOURS, CLUTCHING AT HER RIBS AS SHE IS STRUGGLING TO BREATHE!
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA THEN GRABS HER BY THE HAIR, AND STANDS BEA VALENTINE BACK UP!
Stew-O: BUT BEA EXPLODES WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP! AND CATCHES DANIELLA WITH A FOREARM AFTERWARDS! ALTERNATING BETWEEN BOTH! CHOP! FOREARM! STRINGING TOGETHER OFFENSE, AND STUNNING DANIELLA IN THE CENTER!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK! SENDING DANIELLA DOWN TO BOTH KNEES! AND BEA POPS TO HER FEET! RUNNING OFF THE ROPES TO FOLLOW THAT UP WITH A SINGLE LEG DROPKICK TO THE SIDE OF ATLAS’ HEAD!
Stew-O: AND BEA CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE AS ATLAS IS SPRAWLED ON THE CANVAS! DANIELLA HAS HER LINED UP HERE! …DIVING ELBOW DROP!
Gavin Kirkland: AND BEA HOOKS THE LEG FOR A COVER! TO WIN THE EMPRESS OF ELITE CROWN!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHH-
Stew-O: SHOULDER UP!
Persephone: Wish I didn’t constantly have to hear that phrase uttered again and again.
Stew-O: Well, I’m sorry. What do you want me to say?
Persephone: I want this match to hurry up, so I can go home.
Stew-O: Take that up with both women in the ring.
Persephone: Forget it.
Gavin Kirkland: Bea stalks Daniella from behind as they both rise to their feet following the kickout!
Stew-O: AND BEA HOOKS BOTH ARMS FOR THE UNPRETTIER! SHE WENT FOR BEA-MY-VALENTINE EARLIER! GOING FOR IT AGAIN! BUT DANIELLA UNHOOKS HER ARMS TO LEAPFROG OVER BEA VALENTINE’S HEAD FROM BEHIND!
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA SPINS AROUND FOR A INAMORATA LARIAT! BUT BEA HAS IT SCOUTED THIS TIME WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE ARM!
Stew-O: DANIELLA FAVORS THE ARM, AND MARCHES INTO THE CONSPIRACY! SWINGING REVERSE STO!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT DANIELLA ATLAS COUNTERS WITH A SCHOOL GIRL!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Gavin Kirkland: KICKOUT!
Stew-O: BOTH WOMEN SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET, AND BEA SCOOPS DANIELLA UP FOR A FIREMANS CARRY NECKBREAKER! BEA MOVES INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHRRRRRREE-
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA ATLAS KEEPS THE FIGHT ALIVE!
Persephone: Can she not? Seriously, how important is the crown anyway?
Stew-O: Like… very important. You know this.
Persephone: Shut the FUCK up!
Stew-O: :whoa:
Gavin Kirkland: Guys, please. Stay professional.
Persephone: You’re the LAST guy to talk about staying professional.
Gavin Kirkland: :wtf:
Stew-O: Gavin is… oddly enough, right. Back inside the ring, Daniella crawls toward the ropes, and pulls herself up to a knee after such a devastating move connected from Bea Valentine.
Gavin Kirkland: BUT BEA! BEA SEES THIS, AND GOES TO RUN OFF THE ROPES AGAIN FOR THAT BEA TRIGGER!
Stew-O: BUT DANIELLA IS THERE TO CATCH HER AS SHE REBOUNDING BACK WITH A POP-UP HEADBUTT!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA CAN BARELY STAND AFTERWARDS, AND DANIELLA PULLS HER IN FOR THE PUMPHANDLE DROP AS SHE WAS ON WOBBLY LEGS! DANIELLA ATLAS IS GOING FOR THE SOUTH OF HEAVEN!
Stew-O: BUT BEA COUNTERS LAST MINUTE WITH A SPIKE DDT! DANIELLA LANDED SQUARE ON HER HEAD, AND RUSHES BACK TO HER FEET WITH SOME ASSISTANCE FROM THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: AND DANIELLA TAKES A WILD SHOT AT BEA AFTER WANDERING OVER- HOWEVER, BEA IS QUICK ENOUGH TO GO FOR A THUMB THE EYES!!!! THE REFEREE DIDN’T SEE IT, AND NOW BEA GRABS DANIELLA FROM BEHIND FOR A RIPCORD BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE!
Stew-O: BEA TRIGGER! BEA TRIGGER CONNECTS AS DANIELLA CRUMPLES DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA FALLS INTO THE COVER! HOOKING THE LEG!
Persephone: YES! END IT NOW!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Stew-O: SO CLOSE! BUT SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, DANIELLA ATLAS MANAGES TO KICKOUT!
Persephone: Oh, it’ll be one of those matches where the other is too stubborn to simply just die.
Gavin Kirkland: As it stands, Daniella still has plenty left in the tank- or does she as Bea begins lifting her up!
Stew-O: BEA PULLS DANIELLA’S HEAD BETWEEN HER LEGS, AND GOES TO HOIST HER UP! POSSIBLY FOR A PILEDRIVER!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT ATLAS BLOCKS IT! CAUSING BEA TO ANGRILY CLUB DOWN ACROSS HER BACK! BEATING DANIELLA DOWN TO A KNEE!
Stew-O: NOW, BEA TRIES AGAIN FOR THAT PILEDRIVER- BUT DANIELLA STILL BLOCKS THE ATTEMPT, AND GOES TO LAUNCH BEA OVERHEAD WITH A BACK BODY DROP!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT BEA COUNTERS WITH A SUNSET FLIP!
Stew-O: NO! DANIELLA ROLLS THROUGH TO HER FEET, AND STANDS BEA UP TO A VERTICAL BASE! PULLING HER INTO A SNAP VERSION OF THE NIAGARA DRIVER! ANIMUS PLANTS BEA VALENTINE AS DANIELLA HOLDS IT FOR A COVER!
Gavin Kirkland: REFEREE GETS INTO POSITION!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR-
Persephone: IT’S OVER! IT’S OVER- FUCK! SHE KICKED OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: That wasn’t even her finisher…
Persephone: You think I watch your dumb product?
Gavin Kirkland: :roman:
Stew-O: Daniella isn’t phased by the kickout from Bea, willing to inflict more damage if she has to.
Gavin Kirkland: Daniella grabs Bea by the hair, and stands her up. Going to direct Bea to the corner, and slams her FACE FIRST off the turnbuckle! BUT DOESNT STOP THERE, CONTINUING TO SLAM HER FACE FIRST OFF THAT TURNBUCKLE!
Stew-O: NOW, DANIELLA BEGINS BOUNCING BEA FACE FIRST OFF THAT SECOND TURNBUCKLE PAD REPEATEDLY!
Gavin Kirkland: BEFORE MOVING TO THE BOTTOM TURNBUCKLE, COMPLETING THE TRIFECTA AGAINST BEA! SLAMMING HER HEAD FIRST OFF THE BOTTOM TURNBUCKLE REPEATEDLY NOW!
Persephone: Aw, her and Machina are gonna have matching CTE together. ❤️
Stew-O: IT’S CLEAR THAT DANIELLA ATLAS IS UPPING THE AGGRESSION SLIGHTLY! AND SEATS BEA VALENTINE DOWN IN THAT CORNER! DANIELLA GRINDS HER BOOT ACROSS BEA’S FACE A FEW TIMES BEFORE SHE RUNS OFF THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: NOT THE FACE, NOT THE FA- OOH! DANIELLA ATLAS WITH A BRUTAL RUNNING FACE WASH TO BEA VALENTINE IN THE CORNER!
Stew-O: And Daniella grabs Bea by the hair, dragging her out to the center of the ring.
Gavin Kirkland: Now, Daniella pulls Bea into position for a powerbomb… HOISTING VALENTINE UP, AND SLAMMING HER WITH AUTHORITY! FOLDING POWERBOMB BY DANIELLA ATLAS! AND SHE HOLDS IT FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THH-
Stew-O: KICKO- NEVERMIND! BEA WENT TO KICK OUT, AND DANIELLA QUICKLY TRANSITIONED INTO A BOSTON CRAB! BEAUTIFUL TRANSITION! ALSO SMART BY DANIELLA ATLAS TO ADJUST ACCORDINGLY!
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA SITTING DOWN ON BEA’S BACK, AND APPLYING HEAVY PRESSURE WITH THAT BOSTON CRAB! BEA’S SCREAMS OF AGONY CAN BE HEARD! IN A WORLD OF PAIN!
Persephone: And she can end all this pain if she does the simple deed of tapping out.
Stew-O: IT’S NOT THAT EASY, PERSEPHONE! BEA HAS GOTTEN THIS FAR, AND WON’T ALLOW HERSELF TO FALL SHORT AT THE FINISH LINE LIKE THIS! NOT WITHOUT A FIGHT!
Gavin Kirkland: AND WHILE IN PAIN, BEA BEGINS GRITTING THROUGH IT! CLAWING HER WAY TO THE ROPES!
Stew-O: DANIELLA DOES HER BEST TO KEEP THE HOLD APPLIED-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT BEA VALENTINE GETS HER HAND ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! GIVING DANIELLA TIL THE COUNT OF FIVE TO BREAK THE HOLD!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Stew-O: DANIELLA BREAKS THE HOLD!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT IS IMMEDIATELY BACK ON THE ATTACK WITH STOMPS TO THE BACK OF BEA’S HEAD AND NECK, GRABBING HOLD OF THE TOP ROPE WHILE SHE DOES IT!
Stew-O: DANIELLA IS UNRELENTING AS BEA DOES HER BEST TO COVER UP!
Gavin Kirkland: IT’S LIKE A FLIP SWITCHED IN DANIELLA! SHE WAS AGGRESSIVE BEFORE! BUT IS UPPING THAT NOW!
Persephone: I like it. Bea deserves to get her ass kicked this way.
Stew-O: DANIELLA STANDS BEA UP, AND BACKS HER INTO THE CORNER FOR A HARD IRISH WHIP INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER!
Gavin Kirkland: AND DANIELLA RISES TO A KNEE, SMILING WITH DELIGHT AS BEA COLLAPSED PRONE ONTO THE CANVAS! FAVORING HER BACK!
Stew-O: With the recent work done to her back, I imagine that Daniella wants to eventually soften her up for a South of Heaven! Which Daniella has attempted throughout tonight.
Gavin Kirkland: But to no success. Bea Valentine has always had a counter, and Daniella was doing a great job of remaining one step ahead of Bea’s offense too!
Stew-O: That is until she got caught with a ripcord Bea Trigger! Surprisingly, Daniella kicked out.
Gavin Kirkland: Daniella saunters toward Bea on the canvas, and stands her back up- HOWEVER, BEA EXPLODES WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST!
Stew-O: BEA VALENTINE HAS HIT A COUPLE, BUT I THINK DANIELLA IS STARTING TO GROW IMMUNE! HAVING ATE THAT CHOP! THOUGH, VISIBLY FEELING THE EFFECTS FROM IT SLIGHTLY!
Persephone: Pussy. Chop harder!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA MUST HAVE HEARD YOUR ADVICE PERSEPHONE AS SHE COCKS BACK FOR ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST! FINALLY, DANIELLA IS BEGINNING TO FALTER AS SHE DOUBLES OVER SLIGHTLY! BEA SEES THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO RUN OFF THE ROPES-
Stew-O: BUT DANIELLA SHUTS HER DOWN WITH A RUNNING BIG BOOT!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA STRUGGLES BACK TO HER FEET, AND STUMBLES BACK INTO A SLEEPER HOLD BY DANIELLA- NO! BEA VALENTINE QUICKLY SHIFTS THE MOMENTUM WITH A BACK SUPLEX TO ESCAPE!
Stew-O: Daniella rolls out underneath the bottom rope to create some space and separation from Bea! But Bea slides out underneath the bottom rope herself as Daniella leans up against our announce table- BEA APPROACHES, AND HOISTS DANIELLA UP! SLAMMING BACK FIRST ACROSS OUR TABLE COVER WITH A BACK SUPLEX AS WELL!
Persephone: Hey, watch it!
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA WRITHES IN PAIN OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE BEFORE BEA DRAGS HER OFF, AND SENDS DANIELLA FACE FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST-
Stew-O: NO! DANIELLA COUNTERS AT THE LAST MINUTE, SENDING BEA FACE FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST INSTEAD! BEA STAGGERS BACK INTO THE CLUTCHES OF DANIELLA, WHO ROLLS HER INTO THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA SLITHERS IN AFTER HER, AND WATCHES BEA RETURNS TO HER FEET! BUT CHARGES AS SHE’S DOUBLED OVER FOR A KNEE LIFT!
Stew-O: HOWEVER, BEA VALENTINE EVADES IT! AND DANIELLA SPINS AROUND! BEA LIFTS HER UP INTO A FIREMANS CARRY! WE WATCHED HER HIT A NECKBREAKER FROM THIS POSITION EARLIER!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT DANIELLA SLIPS OFF HER SHOULDERS! BEA TURNS AROUND, AND GETS HOISTED UP BY DANIELLA FOR A FIREMAN’S CARRY… SITOUT FACEBUSTER!
Stew-O: ALMOST RUNNING OFF PURE INSTINCT OR ADRENALINE, BEA IS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY BACK TO HER FEET AFTER THAT! FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THAT BRAINBUSTER, AND DANIELLA RUSHES TO HER FEET AS WELL FOR A-
Gavin Kirkland: SHOTGUN DROPKICK! SHOTGUN DROPKICK BY DANIELLA SENDS BEA BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER!
Stew-O: BEA HITS HARD IN THAT CORNER, AND COLLAPSES DOWN TO THE CANVAS! DANIELLA SEES AN OPENING, AND RUSHES OUT TO THE APRON! BEGINNING HER ASCENSION TO THE TOP ROPE!
Gavin Kirkland: EARLIER, DANIELLA WENT UP THERE TO LAND A DIVING SENTON ON BEA- WHO JUMPS BACK TO HER FEET, AND THROWS HERSELF AT THE TOP ROPE! CROTCHING ATLAS ON THE TURNBUCKLE!
Persephone: I’m shocked. An actual smart move from Bea Valentine! It’s unfortunate that decision making couldn’t carry over to her wardrobe.
Gavin Kirkland: I think she looks good. :mjlit:
Persephone: Why do you keep talking to me?
Stew-O: Ignore Gavin. Bea marches towards Daniella in the corner, and delivers a RIGHT! FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER! BEA SCORES WITH A FLURRY OF RIGHT HANDS, ENSURING THAT DANIELLA IS ROCKED AS SHE CLIMBS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA THEN STARTS GOUGING AT THE EYES OF DANIELLA BEFORE SHE HOOKS HER UP FOR A TOP ROPE SUPERPLEX!
Stew-O: BOTH WOMEN HIT HARD! INCLUDING BEA! WHO MANAGES TO DRAPE HER ARM OVER DANIELLA ATLAS FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHH-
Stew-O: SHOULDER UP! BEA VALENTINE POUNDS THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION! AND HERE IT IS! HERE IS THAT INSTABILITY OF BEA BEGINNING TO SHOW!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE WANTS THAT CROWN, AND PERHAPS THE LACK OF INSTANT GRATIFICATION IS STARTING TO GET TO HER!
Stew-O: WE’VE SEEN DANIELLA UP HER AGGRESSION! NOW, I IMAGINE BEA VALENTINE WILL DO THE SAME AS HER FRUSTRATION IS BUILDING UP!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA LIFTS DANIELLA BACK TO HER FEET, AND BLASTS HER WITH FOREARM AFTER FOREARM AFTER FOREARM! THE LAST ONE CAUGHT DANIELLA FLUSH, AND SHE STAGGERS BACK AGAINST THE ROPES WHERE BEA VALENTINE IRISH WHIPS HER OFF!
Stew-O: BUT DANIELLA COUNTERS AT THE LAST MINUTE, GOING TO TURN THE IRISH WHIP AROUND! BUT BEA TURNS IT AROUND ON HER! TWISTING THE ARM OF DANIELLA, AND CATCHING HER WITH A KICK TO THE ABDOMEN!
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA DOUBLES OVER, AND BEA GRABS HER IN A FRONT FACELOCK! GOING TO KICK OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE IN THE CORNER FOR A TORNADO DDT!
Stew-O: BUT DANIELLA LAUNCHES BEA TO THE CENTER WITH A FREE FALL DROP BEFORE SHE COULD CONNECT! SUCCESSFULLY AVOIDING THAT TORNADO DDT!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA VALENTINE QUICKLY MAKES IT BACK TO HER FEET, AND DANIELLA LEANS HER AGAINST THE ROPES FOR AN IRISH WHIP!
Stew-O: ATLAS SWINGS WILDLY FOR A CLOTHESLINE! BUT BEA DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND DANIELLA GOES TO HALT HER MOMENTUM WITH A BACK ELBOW AS SHE COMES REBOUNDING BACK! HOWEVER, BEA DUCKED UNDERNEATH THAT TOO!
Persephone: How hard can it be to hit someone?
Gavin Kirkland: PRETTY HARD WHEN YOUR TARGET IS ELUSIVE! BEA VALENTINE RUNS OFF THE ROPES A THIRD TIME, AND TAKES DANIELLA DOWN WITH A DESTINO!
Stew-O: BUT AS BEA WENT TO MAKE THE COVER, DANIELLA WISELY ROLLS OUT TO THE APRON!
Gavin Kirkland: AND AS DANIELLA PULLS HERSELF WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE ROPES, BEA VALENTINE DOES THE SAME ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE!
Stew-O: DANIELLA GOES FOR A RIGHT HAND- BUT ITS BLOCKED BY BEA FOR ONE OF HER OWN! BEA SLIDES UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE THROUGH THE LEGS OF ATLAS, AND HOOKS HER OFF FOR A POWERBOMB!
Gavin Kirkland: YES! BEA IS ABLE TO DETACH DANIELLA FROM THE APRON, AND IS MAKING HER WAY TOWARDS OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE!
Stew-O: PLANNING TO PUT DANIELLA THROUGH IT- BUT DANIELLA HAS OTHER PLANS! FIGHTING HER WAY OUT OF IT WITH SHOTS TO THE DOME!
Gavin Kirkland: WITH THAT, DANIELLA MANAGES TO SLIP OFF THE SHOULDERS, LANDING IN FRONT OF BEA, AND HOOKS HER UP FOR A SUPLEX-
Stew-O: BEA FLOATS OVER, AND DUMPS DANIELLA HIGH ON HER NECK AND SHOULDERS WITH A VICIOUS GERMAN SUPLEX ON THE OUTSIDE!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA GOES TO LIFT DANIELLA UP, SO SHE CAN GET HER BACK INSIDE THE RING! BUT ABANDONS LAST MINUTE, SLIDING BACK INTO THE RING, AND DEMANDING THE REFEREE COUNT!
Persephone: Finally, some actual common sense.
Stew-O: PERSEPHONE, THIS IS KING OF ELITE! NO ONE WANTS TO SEE A MATCH WON LIKE THIS!
Persephone: TOO BAD!
Stew-O: THE REFEREE HAS BEGUN COUNTING, MUCH TO THE DELIGHT OF BEA VALENTINE! BEA HAS ALREADY BEGUN CELEBRATING ALMOST IT LOOKS IN THE RING!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA, I WOULDNT CELEBRATE TOO EARLY AS DANIELLA IS SHOWING SIGNS OF LIFE!
Stew-O: DANIELLA BEGINS CRAWLING TO THE RING!
Referee: FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA IS YELLING FOR THE REF TO COUNT FASTER!
Bea Valentine: (off-mic) Cmon, chop-chop!
Referee: NINE! TE-
Stew-O: DANIELLA BEATS THE COUNT! SLIDING INTO THE RING, AND PULLING HERSELF UP TO THE MIDDLE ROPE-
Gavin Kirkland: BEA TRIGGER!!!
Stew-O: BEA TRIGGER CONNECTED, AND BEA DRAGS DANIELLA TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! GOING TO PUT THE FINISHING TOUCHES WITH THE CONSPIRACY!
Gavin Kirkland: SWINGING REVERSE ST- WHOA! BEA SWUNG RIGHT INTO POSITION FOR DANIELLA’S SWINGING REVERSE STO! THE MEMORY ROOM!
Stew-O: AND SHE HITS IT! MEMORY ROOM PLANTS BEA VALENTINE! THOUGHT DANIELLA ATLAS WAS FLOATING OVER INTO THE COVER, BUT SHE HAS SOMETHING MUCH MORE NEFARIOUS IN MIND! PULLING BEA IN FOR THE SOUTH OF HEAVEN ONCE MORE!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT BEA COUNTERS WITH A HIP TOSS! AND CARTWHEELS NEXT TO A SEATED ATLAS FOR A BASEMENT DROPKICK!
Persephone: Her move has been countered every single time. It sucks!
Stew-O: OR Bea Valentine simply has her opponent scouted!
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA CLUTCHES AT HER MOUTH AREA, CHECKING FOR ANY MISSING TEETH AS SHE MOVES TO ALL FOURS! BUT THERE TOO IS BEA VALENTINE, WHO PULLS DANIELLA UP TO A VERTICAL BASE BY THE HAIR!
Stew-O; FOREARM BY BEA! DANIELLA STAGGERS BACK, REELING FROM THAT PICTURE PERFECT BASEMENT DROPKICK! BUT DANIELLA REMEMBERS WHAT SHE’S FIGHTING OVER, AND PUSHES THROUGH THE PAIN WITH A FOREARM!
Gavin Kirkland: NOW, BEA VALENTINE STAGGERS BACK, AND REBUTTALS WITH A FOREARM!
Stew-O: FOREARM IN RETALIATION FROM DANIELLA! …KNIFE EDGE CHOP FROM VALENTINE! …DANIELLA WITH A FOREARM! FOREARM FROM BEA! BOTH WOMEN SLUGGING IT OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA! DANIELLA! BEA! DANIELLA! BEA! DANIELLA! BEA! DANIELLA! BE-
Stew-O: DANIELLA DUCKS UNDERNEATH THE FOREARM ATTEMPT FROM BEA, AND TAGS HER WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP OF HER OWN! DANIELLA WITH A CHOP TO BEA! FOLLOWED UP WITH A FOREARM! CHOP! FOREARM! CHOP! FOREARM!
Gavin Kirkland: SUCCESSFULLY BACKING BEA AGAINST THE ROPES FOR AN IRISH WHIP- BUT BEA REVERSES! SENDING DANIELLA TO THE ROPES FOR A CLOTHESLINE!
Stew-O: DANIELLA DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT, AND BRINGS HER MOMENTUM TO A SCREECHING HALT! BUT BEA TWISTS AROUND FOR A DISCUS LARIAT! BEA GRABS DANIELLA BY THE HAIR, AND PULLS HER UP AS THE BLACK FLAME IS DOUBLED OVER!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA VALENTINE HOPS ON DANIELLA’S BACK FOR A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB- BUT DANIELLA JOLTS UPRIGHT! CAUSING BEA TO SLIP OFF, AND LAND ON HER FEET!
Stew-O: BEA SPINS AROUND, AND WANDERS INTO A BACK ELBOW FROM DANIELLA! BEA IS ON DREAM STREET! SPAGHETTI LEGS AS DANIELLA RUNS OFF THE ROPES- BUT BEA RUNS OFF THAT SAME SET! CAUSING DANIELLA TO TURN AROUND AS SHE REACHES THE CENTER-
Gavin Kirkland: SLINGBLADE!
Stew-O: THE BACK OF ATLAS’ HEAD HIT HARD ON THE CANVAS, AND BEA URGES HER TO STAND BACK UP! CHARGING IN FOR A LEAPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! BEA STING! BEA STING BY BEA VALENTINE!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA PULLS THE LEG LF DANIELLA BACK FOR THE COVER, GRABBING HOLD OF THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH THE OTHER HAND FOR ADDED LEVERAGE!
Persephone: SHE HAS HER! SHE HAS HER!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!
Stew-O: NO WAY! DANIELLA ATLAS EXPLODES FROM OUT THE COVER! HER CHANCES OF BECOMING EMPRESS OF ELITE THAT CLOSE FROM SLIPPING AWAY FROM HER!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA CAN’T BELIEVE IT, AND CHECKS WITH THE REFEREE TO VERIFY THAT IT WAS ONLY A TWO!
Persephone: SERIOUSLY, HE HIT THREE! I SAW IT!
Stew-O: NO, I’M SURE HE HIT-
Persephone: SHUT THE FUCK UP, BOZO! BEA VALENTINE SHOULD HAVE WON THIS MATCH! RING THE BELL!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! THE REFEREE ASSURES HER IT WAS A TWO COUNT! AND BEA WASTES NO TIME IN ASCENDING TO THE TOP ROPE! GOING TO TAKE FLIGHT AS SHE GESTURES FOR DANIELLA ATLAS TO GET UP!
Stew-O: BEA IS LOCKED IN ON HER TARGET! A LOOK OF INTENSITY IN HER EYES LIKE I’VE NEVER SEEN IT! DANIELLA SLOWLY GETS BACK TO HER FEET!
Gavin Kirkland: BOSTON BEA PARTY!!
Stew-O: NO ONE KICKS OUT OF THAT!
Gavin Kirkland: DIVING MUSHROOM STOMP TO THE HEART!
Stew-O: NO! DANIELLA USED HER REMAINING ENERGY TO RUSH BEA VALENTINE ON THE TOP ROPE! HOWEVER, BEA VALENTINE LEAPED OVERHEAD OF DANIELLA! LANDING ON HER FEET! BUT TURN AROU-
Gavin Kirkland: OOH! DISCUS ELBOW TO THE BACK OF BEA’S HEAD! BLACK DEATH DANIELLA CALLS IT!
Stew-O: AND BEA IS OUT COLD! LYING PRONE AS DANIELLA COLLAPSES NEXT TO HER AFTER CONNECTING, AND SHOOTS THE HALF FOR A COVER! NEEDING TO ROLL 143 POUNDS OF DEAD WEIGHT ONTO HER BACK!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT DANIELLA MANAGES, AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!
Stew-O: DOES SHE HAVE HER?!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! BEA VALENTINE BARELY, JUST BARELY POPPED THE SHOULDER UP HERSELF!
Stew-O: AND NOW, ITS DANIELLA ATLAS’ TURN TO BE SHOCKED! QUESTIONING WHAT HER OPPONENT IS MADE OF!
Persephone: I’ve been questioning why this match isn’t over yet for longer.
Gavin Kirkland: Daniella is going to no doubt look to end this shortly as she stands Bea up…
Stew-O: DANIELLA THEN JACKS HER OPPONENTS JAW WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! BEA STUMBLES BACK AGAINST THE ROPES, AND DANIELLA CLOSES IN! GRABBING HOLD OF BEA ONCE AGAIN!
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA DRAGS VALENTINE TO THE CENTER, AND HOOKS HER UP FOR THE SOUTH OF HEAVEN! GOING FOR IT ONE LAST TIME!
Stew-O: BUT AGAIN, BEA VALENTINE COUNTERS WITH A CANADIAN DESTROYER! CANADIAN DESTROYER ON DANIELLA! ATLAS GROGGILY MAKES IT BACK TO HER FEET AS BEA IS REBOUNDING OFF THE ROPES FOR A-
Gavin Kirkland: BEA STING!!
Stew-O: DANIELLA SENDS BEA OVERHEAD WITH AN ALLEY OOP!
Gavin Kirkland: ALLEY OOP BY ATLAS! AND BEA GOES THROAT FIRST INTO THE TOP ROPE! BEFORE STUMBLING BACK INTO THE CLUTCHES OF DANIELLA FOR THE…
Stew-O: SOUTH OF HEAVEN!
Gavin Kirkland: FINALLY, SHE HITS, AND STACKS BEA UP FOR A COVER!
Persephone: So much for having it scouted. :mjlol:
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
…
…
Gavin Kirkland: AND BEA KICKS OUT OF THE SOUTH OF HEAVEN!
Stew-O: AND CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW THAT FEELS FOR DANIELLA ATLAS! WHO FINALLY HITS THE MOVE! ONLY TO HAVE IT KICKED OUT OF LIKE THAT!
Persephone: Pathehic.
Gavin Kirkland: MEANS THAT SHE WILL HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD!
Stew-O: DANIELLA DRAGS BEA UP TO BOTH KNEES, BRINGING THEM EYE LEVEL, AND DANIELLA TAKES THE FIRST WITH A FOREARM!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA COLLAPSES TO ALL FOURS BRIEFLY, BUT DOES FIRE BACK WITH A FOREARM! …FOREARM FROM DANIELLA! BOTH WOMEN ARE NOTICEABLY MORE SLUGGISH! NOT PACKING AS MUNCH UMPH BEHIND THOSE SHOTS!
Stew-O: AGAIN, BEA IS REELING AFTER THAT FOREARM SHOT FROM DANIELLA! BUT DOES RETURN UPRIGHT WHILE ON BOTH KNEES, AND QUICKLY BEGINS BITING THE FOREHEAD OF ATLAS LIKE A ZOMBIE!
Gavin Kirkland; PROMPTING THE REFEREE TO INTERVENE, GIVING BEA A WARNING THAT’S AGAINST THE RULES! BUT I’M THINKING BEA HAS REACHED A PURE STATE OF DESPERATION!
Persephone: She can’t be serious.
Stew-O: BEA CONTINUES BITING DANIELLA’S FOREHEAD AS SHE RISES TO BOTH FEET WHILE DANIELLA REMAINS ON BOTH KNEES!
Gavin Kirkland: FINALLY, VALENTINE RELENTS- BUT DANIELLA HAS GRABBED HOLD OF HER WRIST, AND POPS BACK TO HER FEET! PULLING BEA INTO A SHORT ARM LARIAT!! INAMORATA!
Stew-O: BEA GOES DOWN, BUT DANIELLA HASN’T LET GO OF THE WRIST!
Gavin Kirkland: AND REACHES DOWN, PULLING BEA UP THE HAIR FOR ANOTHER SHORT ARM INNAMORATA!
Stew-O: DANIELLA LIFTS BEA BACK TO HER FEET! LOOKING TO FINISH THE TRIFECTA OFF AS BEA CAN BARELY STAND! DANIELLA SWINGS FOR ANOTHER INAMORATA SHORT ARM LARIAT!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT THIS TIME, BEA VALENTINE DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT! SLIPPING BEHIND ATLAS-
Stew-O: AND BEA QUICKLY HOOKS BOTH ARMS, TURNING ATLAS AROUND FOR THE BEA-MY-VALENTINE!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE GOT HER WITH THAT UNPRETTIER! BUT BEA VALENTINE ISN’T DONE YET! CRAWLING OUT TO THE APRON, AND SCALING TO THE TOP ROPE!
Stew-O: SOMEHOW, DANIELLA IS STIRRING ON THE RING MAT! ONLY STUNNED BY THAT SNAP UNPRETTIER!
Gavin Kirkland: BEA PERCHES HERSELF ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS DANIELLA SLOWLY MAKES IT BACK TO HER FEET!
Stew-O: …BOSTON BEA PARTY!
Gavin Kirkland: DIVING MUSHROOM STOMP TO THE CHEST OF DANIELLA ATLAS! :damn:
Stew-O: IT CONNECTS!!! THAT WAS THE TOUGHEST MOVE BEA HAS IN HER ARSENAL!! BEA WENT BIG, AND IT PAID OFF!!! DANIELLA ATLAS IT OUT, AND BEA CRAWLS INTO THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERE’S YOUR WINNER… AND 2025 EMPRESS OF ELITE… BEA VALENTINE!
(“Gloria” by Laura Branigan plays to a mostly positive reaction as Bea Valentine rolls off Daniella Atlas. The referee helps Bea back to her feet, and tears begin bubbling up. Bea is getting emotional as she realizes what happened.)
Stew-O: Bea has done it! Bea has done it!
Persephone: I’m surprised, the basket case did it.
Gavin Kirkland: Bea Valentine looks a little shocked herself!
(Cornelius runs down to the ring, and slides in to hug Bea.)
Persephone: Oh, not this guy.
Stew-O: Give it a rest, Persephone.
(Cornelius exits the ring, and retrieves the Empress of Elite crown from the podium ringside. Cornelius carefully enters the ring, and goes down to a knee, raising the crown to Bea, who takes it from his hands, and places it on her head.)
(Pyro begins to erupt after Bea Valentine places the crown on her head.)
Gavin Kirkland: Wow. This is a beautiful moment, but I can’t help but worry about Daniella ringside. I should go cheer her up-
Persephone: Trust me, you’re the last thing she wants to see right now.
(Daniella sits up against the barricade, watching as Bea Valentine continues with her over the top celebration in the ring. With one final shot of the Empress of Elite winner, the camera slowly fades to black.)
Day 2
(The Queen Stands out on the courtyard after the first day of Games have happened. The Empress of Elite Crown is no longer displayed and the Banner of Bea Valentine flies high. The King’s crown is still there.)
Narrator: Many have lost their battles on the first day! But the banners that have been laid down of the fallen, will rise once again!
(The footage shows the armies of Daniella Atlas laying down their banner as Bea’s flies high. Ms. Extreme’s people scream in joy holding up her banner, while KASAI’s is laid on the ground. Cody Maverick’s Silver Knights draw their swords while hoisting their colors, while the armies of Ryan Wilson, Ruler, and Brianna Hill lay down their banners as well. Then the banner of Cy Henderson is held high, while Brian Daniels is laid down.)
Narrator: But do not be sad for those that have had to lay their banners, the armies will rise again and the colors will fly high once more. But for those armies that stood in the HOUSE OF VICTORY! They now are shown the way!
(The scene turns to the armies of Octavia laying down their flags. While the banner of Dr. Bethany Blue and her Ivory Guard rejoice, flying the banner high. The British Invasion’s contingent is proud and chanting with their banners, all while the banners of Damien & Akari, along with Candice and Selina are laid on the ground. The banners of Limmy Monaghan and Xander Payne still fly high in a stalemate, same with the banners of SOSA Henderson and Miku Sakai. Finally, the banner of Myles and his barbarians flies high as the noblemen of Chris Elite lay down theirs.)
Narrator: But now…. TODAY is the second day where we will do battle! Where the best fight the best! Where titles are on the line! Grudges are settled! And we crown a NEW King!
(The crowd screams holding their banners high. Jon Kelton’s army stands across Harper Lee’s as they both hold their flags ready for war. BRAE’s army and Effy McAvoy’s Army are face to face holding their banners. Jay Jerry Johnson’s banner is aligned with Corey Hale’s. Donovan Duke’s banner flies high as they are across from Bronson Daniel’s. Finally the last banner shown is that of Minerva’s and her black and orange knights standing across the cult of Drake King and his banner standing stoic.)
Narrator: There will be blood! There will be pain! THERE WILL BE HELL!
(Michael Machina’s banner is high as his werewolves howl across from Methuselah’s banner and his Dark D’jinn warriors. Joso’s golden guard stands with their banners high screaming at Impact’s knights and their banner along with Hans Grayson’s mounted steeds and his banner. Milli Banks and her colorful army stand with their hands on the chest holding their banners as Raven Roberts and her Avian Warriors stand across with banners flying high. Finally TLA’s army stand with their banner and weapons like Spaniards, along with Solomon Stane and his dark forces with their flailed man banner and finally Drake Armstrong with his elegant Platinum Knights of the Royal Guard, all hold the banners as the Queen screams.)
Narrator: LET THE GAMES OF ELITE FOR NIGHT TWO BEGIN!
(And they all scream as the banners are held high, ready for war on the last night in King of Elite.)

???: AND NOW CRUMBL COOKIE AND INVINCIBLE WITH CONJUNCTION TO THE EAW PRESENT THE 2025 KING OF ELITE!
(The camera pans over the frigid Soldier Field where it is 30 degrees outside and there is a chance of snow tonight. The fireworks go off as “Heavy Is The Crown” by Linkin Park plays throughout the arena. The crowd is on their feet holding up their signs as it transitions to the announcing team of Stew-O, Jake Mercer and Flannery McCoy.)
Stew-O: HELLO EAW UNIVERSE! I AM STEW-O AND AM ACCOMPANIED BY MY CO-HOSTS JAKE MERCER AND FLANNERY MCCOY! REPRESENTING DYNASTY! WE ALSO HAVE DEADPREZ, EVE, AND GAVIN KIRKLAND REPRESENTING SHOWDOWN! AND FINALLY, JAMES PETERS, RICH RUSSILLO AND PERSEPHONE REPRESENTING VOLTAGE! IT IS ANOTHER FRIGID NIGHT HERE IN CHICAGO BUT WE ARE HERE FOR THE SECOND NIGHT OF THE KING OF ELITE EVENT! WHERE WE WILL CROWN A NEW KING AND WE CROWNED A NEW EMPRESS OF ELITE LAST NIGHT!
Jake Mercer: I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT BUT ALL HAIL BEA VALENTINE! WE HAVE A NEW … EW BREED CHAMPION THAT WE SAW EARLIER IN OUR PRE-SHOW AND TONIGHT WE HAVE FOUR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS ON THE LINE, TWO HUGE GRUDGE MATCHES AS YOU CAN SEE THE HELL IN A CELL HANGING HIGH OVER US! AND WE HAVE THE FINALS OF THE KING OF ELITE WHERE WE WILL CROWN THE NEXT KING!
Flannery McCoy: IT IS SUPPOSED TO SNOW AND THE ELITISTS DO NOT CARE BECAUSE THEIR BLOOD IS COLD IN THE BACK! BUT LET’S GET THIS ONE STARTED AND WE ARE GOING TO WITH EASILY THE MOST BRUTAL MATCH OF THE ENTIRE CARD! SO TAKE IT AWAY STEPHIE LOVE!
(The graphic for the following match of the night can be seen on the tron.)
(https://i.ibb.co/VjFkqnV/Drake-Minerva.png)
(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following contest… is a THREE STAGES OF HELL MATCH!!! The first stage, being TABLES. The second stage being SHOCK COLLAR. And should another stage be necessary, the third stage… BEING HELLLLL, IN A CELL!!
(‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ by White Zombie can be heard throughout the speakers as there is an electric reaction from the audience for the EAW Hall of Famer. Minerva makes her way out from the back with a far more focused demeanor than ever before, no glimpse of the crowd whatsoever as she is eyeing directly at the ring, fully intent on closing this chapter against a long time rival.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From the Florida Everglades, weighing in at 122 pounds… ‘THE BLACK ROSE’, MIIIIIIIIINERVAAAA!!!
Stew-O: Of course, here we have one of the most acclaimed elitists to ever step foot inside an EAW ring. Minerva has become increasingly enwrapped with this season’s troubles against Drake King, and now she is looking to conclude with another win while moving forward to a potential World Heavyweight Title match. Before that however, she needs to face off with Drake one more time.
Flannery McCoy: Which ended with Minerva having her hand held high from their last outing, but tonight can possibly change trajectories entirely. Minerva is focused, not refraining from doing what she must with her own abilities to continue on her ascent as potentially the very next World Champion from here, especially if it means bringing justice to Constance.
(‘When Darkness Falls’ by Killswitch Engage is still heard blaring throughout the speakers, with Drake King making his way out from the back & standing at the entrance ramp with a sly grin on his face. Drake looks outward with his focus intact, the crowd continuing to let their reactions be heard as he would proceed to walk down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing her opponent! From Heaven’s Gate, weighing in at 220 pounds… HE IS ‘GOD’, DRAAAAAAKE, KINGGGGGG!!!
Stew-O: And here we have the man who was able to garner the victory over Minerva their first match, as Drake King has his own momentum to look forward to continuously mounting as this can be the tie-breaker of their storied rivalry this season. Especially in a battle against a very game Minerva, make no mistake about Drake King looking to go on this uphill ascent no matter what.
Jake Mercer: Which certainly doesn’t shock me, of course Drake King would be looking forward to the future to come where he will become champion if he wins here tonight, that can only add to the case to be made for that much to transpire even sooner! This will be a test for both EAW Hall of Famers, as they are former World Champions, but most of all, former stablemates who will do battle one more time—
Flannery McCoy: MINERVA WITH A SUDDEN DROPKICK TO DRAKE KING AS HE WAS ENTERING THE RING!!! THERE SEEMS TO BE NO POINT IN RESTORING ORDER FOR A WAR HERE AS THE REFEREE CALLS FOR THE BELL! HERE WE GO!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: AND HERE WE GO! MINERVA IS REFUSING TO LET UP FROM THIS POINT AS SHE’S JUST CAUSED DRAKE KING TO SLIDE OUT OF THE RING AFTER THE DROPKICK!! Drake is now on the ringside floor, but remaining on his feet as he’s trying to shake off the sudden dropkick from Minerva before the bell could even ring! Now Drake’s clutching onto the ropes here, looking to drag herself back in—BUT MINERVA’S SPRINTING TOWARD HIM!
Flannery McCoy: AS A BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK SENDS DRAKE KING STAGGERING BACK INTO THE BARRICADE! Now Minerva is quickly sliding herself out of the ring as she’s applying the pressure further here, rushing over to pounce on Drake King as she’s laying in all of the lefts & rights that she possibly can! Drake is doing everything to shield himself from the onslaught but Minerva is not looking to hold herself back! Not in a match of this magnitude!
Jake Mercer: Drake’s finally able to push Minerva off of himself as he’s scrambling to regain some ground, not keen on being placed under such heavy fire—BUT MINERVA’S GOT A CHAIR IN HER POSSESSION! She’s motioning back over to Drake with the chair held as Drake’s in big trouble here! Minerva RAISING THE CHAIR—
Stew-O: BUT DRAKE JUST TOSSED THE TABLE DIRECTLY INTO MINERVA! The table didn’t break from the impact of colliding with her skull, so Minerva hasn’t lost! But that absolutely dazed her as she’s now unable to continue this retaliation against him! Drake is able to move forward AND DROP HER DOWN ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR WITH A SLINGBLADE AS WELL!!! The slingblade does just enough to send Minerva onto the floor as Drake is sitting himself up, shaking his own head as the hot start has begun to leave him irate!
Flannery McCoy: Minerva is looking to pull herself back up to her feet with use of the barricade, but Drake is not giving her any leeway to move around here as now he’s got a hold of the steel chair.. AND WASTES NO TIME IN SLAMMING THE CHAIR OVER HER BACK! Minerva’s unable to retort back as Drake doesn’t hold back WITH ANOTHER STRIKE OF THE CHAIR! AND ANOTHER TO FOLLOW SUIT AS MINERVA ROLLS HERSELF INTO THE RING!
Jake Mercer: Drake is now grinning to himself as he’s quickly pushing the table into the ring, and then making way for another table to be propped up right beside the apron as he seems to have his own plan in motion! Drake King slides himself into the ring with the steel chair in hand, no wasted motion here as Minerva’s emerging back up JUST AS AN OVERHEAD SWING ACROSS HER SKULL IS APPROACHING—
Stew-O: MINERVA DUCKS THE SWING! DRAKE TURNS AROUND WITH THE CHAIR HELD—AS ‘THE DEVIL’S TOUCH’ HITS THE CHAIR & AGAINST THE SKULL OF DRAKE KING! The sudden superkick is enough to absolutely daze Drake King here as he’s dropped to a knee, with Minerva hoisting the table upward & now glaring toward him as she refuses to slow down the pace!
Flannery McCoy: AS SHE SWINGS THE TABLE ACROSS THE TEMPLE OF DRAKE KING! A taste of his own medicine after what he did to Minerva on the ringside floor! Drake’s been knocked off of his stance as he’s now struggling to find ground, while Minerva is now propping the table up against the corner! All the while, Drake is making the crawl toward the chair while he still can!
Jake Mercer: As he gets a hold of the chair—but Minerva STOMPS down onto Drake’s hand just as he’s able to place any semblance of a touch on it! Drake’s immediately clutching his hand as he’s trying to move back up to his feet, while Minerva’s now grabbing a hold of the chair AND—
Stew-O: WHACKS DRAKE RIGHT OVER HIS SKULL WITH THE CHAIR!!!! THE BRUNT OF THE CHAIR IS INDENTED AFTER SUCH A STRIKE THAT MINERVA PLACED ALL OF HER STRENGTH INTO! Drake drops down and is posing a deadpan expression as he’s just been stunned by the chair across his head! Minerva’s now rolling herself out of the ring, as she’s looking to maintain pressure in another manner!
Flannery McCoy: As she’s now ripping the upper half of the steel steps from off the corner! She’s able to push them under the ropes while Drake is trying to stir himself into place, but Minerva’s able to roll back into the ring while Drake’s crawling himself upward—
Jake Mercer: BUT MINERVA CHUCKS THE CHAIR DIRECTLY INTO DRAKE’S SKULL THIS TIME!!! MY GOD! THERE’S NOT ENOUGH CTE FOR ONE MAN TO ENDURE!! HE’S UNABLE TO RETORT BACK AGAINST MINERVA!
Stew-O: And now Drake King is trying to bring himself upward, as he finds himself in the corner where the table is leaned against! He’s stirring & stirring, yet Minerva… SHE’S HOISTING THE STEEL STEPS UP! AND DRAKE’S STILL FINDING GROUND IN THE CORNER!
Flannery McCoy: AS MINERVA’S WIDE EYED WHILE GLARING TOWARD DRAKE KING! SHE’S RUSHING FORWARD AS DRAKE’S SLOWLY TURNING HIMSELF AROUND—
Jake Mercer: AND CHUCKS THE STEEL STEPS TOWARD DRAKE KING!!!! TO CRASH DRAKE INTO THE TABLE BEHIND HIM!!!!
Stew-O: BUT DRAKE EVADES THE STEPS AT THE NICK OF TIME!! THE STEPS COLLIDE WITH THE TABLE AS THE TABLE BREAKS APART! Drake just saved himself from Minerva having the score up for herself, but as well as ensuring that he’s not struggling for the rest of the match to transpire! Minerva’s shaking her own head as she was just mere moments away from having the first fall!
Flannery McCoy: Drake’s situated himself over the apron, as Minerva’s motioning back over as he’s grabbing a hold of his legs, looking to drag her opponent back into the rest of the ring as Drake was perhaps looking to escape—
(SWOOSH!!!)
Jake Mercer: BUT DRAKE WITH THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER!!! THE AGENT BURSTS FROM THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AS NOW MINERVA HAS BEEN BLINDED TEMPORARILY!! Drake is able to find some ground for himself as Minerva is struggling! Drake’s now bringing himself back up to his feet while clutching the fire extinguisher closely, with Minerva rubbing her own eyes desperately!!
Stew-O: AS THE BRUNT OF THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER NAILS MINERVA ACROSS HER ABDOMEN!!! Drake has been able to bring a sizable amount of control to himself as Minerva is struggling to rise back up, her arm wrapped around her own midsection while Drake is now dragging Minerva back up to her feet, and soon before long HE’S ABLE TO DRAG MINERVA UPWARD & HOIST HER UP—BEFORE SENDING HER DOWN ONTO THE EDGE OF THE STEPS WITH A FALCON ARROW!!!
Flannery McCoy: OUCH!! HER LOWER BACK WAS DRIVEN ONTO THOSE STEPS BY THE FALCON ARROW!!! And now Drake King has found some leeway here, trying to shake off much of the pressure that he’s been dealt throughout this match as he now rolls himself away, and he’s trying to get himself back up here as he takes notice to the table on the outside that he propped up!
Jake Mercer: As Minerva’s trying to pull herself back together, but Drake’s now grabbing a hold of the steel steps as Minerva is slowly bringing herself back up here despite the struggle she’s going through! A hand on her own lower back while DRAKE’S GOT THE STEPS HURLED TOWARD HER—
Stew-O: AS THE STEPS COLLIDE SKULL FIRST AGAINST MINERVA!! Drake immediately drops the steps afterwards as he stumbles backward and holds onto the ropes! Minerva’s wide-eyed as the blood begins to trickle down from her head, being busted open as now the blood builds profusely! Drake’s glancing over to the table on the outside as he’s not looking to refrain back from making sure he can take advantage!!!
Flannery McCoy: As now Drake’s looking to bring Minerva upward, and he’s not holding himself back from upping the score with this first stipulation as his table is situated perfectly for him! Drake is hoisting Minerva upward, and over his own shoulders AS HE’S NOW RUSHING FORWARD TO POWERBOMB MINERVA FROM THE RING & ONTO THE TABLE BELOW!!!
(# SLICE!)
Jake Mercer: A PIECE FROM THE TABLE IS SWIPED ACROSS DRAKE’S EYE!!! MINERVA HELD ONTO A TABLE PIECE FROM THE BREAKAGE SHE CAUSED WITH THE STEPS!! DRAKE MAY BE BLINDED ON ONE EYE HERE!!! He immediately has no choice but to let go of Minerva, as she’s dropped back to her feet while Drake clutches onto his eye, as he’s eyelid appears to have been sliced up by the table piece!!! Maybe there’s still hope for his sight in this match—
Stew-O: AS MINERVA STABS THE PIECE INTO DRAKE’S UPPER BACK!!! MINERVA JAMMED THE PIECE ENOUGH FOR IT TO REMAIN STICK WITHIN DRAKE’S SKIN!! My goodness that’s stuck inside of Drake’s back as he’s bringing himself away, in all of the pain here while Minerva’s got Drake’s waist clutched as she’s not slowing herself down for a moment!!!
Flannery McCoy: AS SHE’S ABLE TO SEND DRAKE ONTO THE STEEL CHAIR WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!!! ALL OF HER STRENGTH MUSTERED UP FOR THAT MANEUVER! Drake’s in the struggle as he’s yanking the the piece away from his upper back while Minerva slid herself out of the ring and to the table at ringside! She’s wiping the blood from her face as she’s now able to look under the apron here and… oh no…
Jake Mercer: She’s equipped with GASOLINE! MINERVA IS DOUSING THE TABLE WITH GASOLINE HERE! MINERVA TAKES A HOLD OF THE MATCHES, BUT SHE QUICKLY SEES THAT DRAKE IS PULLING HIMSELF BACK UP!
Stew-O: Minerva rolls back into the ring while leaving the matches on the apron, rushing herself over to Drake as she aims for a BOOT—BUT DRAKE SIDE-STEPS & DRIVES HER NECK-FIRST INTO THE ROPES! Minerva is now coughing up a storm as she’s keeping her stance, but it’s a struggle here AS DRAKE WITH A BOOT TO HER ABDOMEN BEFORE HOOKING HER INTO POSITION OVER THE STEPS—
Flannery McCoy: ‘ASCENSION’ ONTO THE STEEL STEPS!!! MY GOODNESS!!! THE PEDIGREE CAUSED THE ENTIRTY OF MINERVA’S UPPER BODY TO COLLIDE WITH THE STEEL! Drake’s rolling himself away as he’s trying to recoup in his own right, but he just placed Minerva through an immense measure of danger that may have shifted the trajectory of this first stage in their match!
Jake Mercer: And now Drake’s got his glance taken toward the matches on the apron, and we can see that ear to ear smile growing on his bruised face!!! Drake takes a hold of the match, but not before grabbing a hold of Minerva’s wrist and dragging her back over to the apron as well! Drake rolls himself under as they’re both now situated over the apron!
Stew-O: And with a flick of his wrist, Drake tosses a match onto the table—AS THE TABLE HAS BEEN SET ABLAZE! DRAKE’S EYES ARE WIDE AS HE’S NOW GLARING DOWN UPON MINERVA, AND HE IS VERY ILL INTENTIONED RIGHT NOW.. AS HE’S HOOKING HER ARMS ONCE MORE! DRAKE KING IS ABOUT TO ENSURE MINERVA HAS NO ROOM TO COME BACK IN THIS MATCH IF THIS IS SUCCESSFUL—
Flannery McCoy: A SECOND ‘ASCENSION’ INTO THE FLAMING TABLE THIS TIME!!!!
Jake Mercer: MINERVA MUSTERS UP ALL OF THE STRENGTH TO EMERGE UPWARD AND MAKE DRAKE FLIP OVER ONTO THE APRON BACK FIRST! MINERVA ESCAPES DISASTER AS THIS STAGE ROLLS ON! Drake’s dragging himself back up as he’s not looking to stay down for long—BUT MINERVA WITH A FOREARM ACROSS HIS TEMPLE!
Stew-O: DRAKE WITH A FOREARM OF HIS OWN ACROSS HER JAW!!! MINERVA RETORTS BACK!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT DRAKE WITH A KNEE ACROSS MINERVA’S WEAKENED ABDOMEN! DRAKE NOW GETS MINERVA IN PLACE, LIFTING HER UP FOR A FALCON ARROW—
Jake Mercer: BITING!!! MINERVA IS BITING DRAKE KING’S FACE AS DRAKE IS FORCED TO LET GO OF HER & DROP HER BACK INTO THE RING! DRAKE’S CLUTCHING HIS OWN FACE AS MINERVA REMAINS ON HER FEET—
Stew-O: TO SEND ‘SATAN’S KISS’ ACROSS DRAKE’S SKULL!!! THE HEADBUTT IS CAUSING DRAKE TO HOLD ON!!!! BY ONE HAND ON THE ROPE GRIPPING ON AS HE’S MOMENTS AWAY FROM FALLING!!!
Flannery McCoy: MINERVA’S WIDE EYED!!! SHE NODS TO HERSELF QUICKLY AS SHE MAKES THE RUN TOWARD THE ROPES BEFORE REBOUNDING BACK AT FULL SPEED—
Minerva: (off-mic) FUCK YOU!!!
(# CRASH!!!!!)
Jake Mercer: HOLY CRAP!!! MINERVA JUST SPEARED DRAKE KING THROUGH THE ROPES & ONTO THE FLAMING TABLE!!!! THEY BOTH IMMEDIATELY MOVE AWAY FROM THE TABLE AS DRAKE’S IN FAR GREATER PAIN!!! HIS BACK MET THOSE FLAMES & CRASHED THROUGH!!!
Stew-O: WHICH MEANS THIS STAGE BELONGS TO MINERVA!!
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER OF THE FIRST STAGE… MINERVA!!!! THE SECOND STAGE… SHOCK COLLAR, BEGINS NOW!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(The referee urgently sprays Drake King with the fire extinguisher while Minerva’s wiping the blood away from her face, smirking to herself as the referee quickly places the shock collar around Drake’s neck, as Minerva does so for herself, the ten-foot wire keeping them connected as Minerva soon grabs a hold of the wire with a grin.)
Flannery McCoy: The referee certainly not giving Drake any leeway as this stage is kicking off in QUITE THE HURRY—AS MINERVA VIOLENTLY YANKS DRAKE OVER WITH THE WIRE & CLOTHESLINES DRAKE KING IN THE PROCESS! Drake is sent back down to the floor as he’s being put through the ringer here, still clutching onto his own back afterward as you can see the charring along his lower back begin to set in through bruising & cuts of the like!
Jake Mercer: As Minerva’s refusing to let up here, keeping a hold of the wire as Drake is forcing himself to remain conscious in this match, with Minerva quickly looking under the apron as she’s now able to grab a hold of bag here!! And this can mean disaster for Drake King as MINERVA DOESN’T SLOW DOWN WITH A KNEE ACROSS HIS TEMPLE TO KEEP HIM AT BAY! Now Minerva’s heading into the ring, and she’s now able to pick up the bag as she dumps the contents out, WITH THE THUMBTACKS SPREADING ALL OVER AN AREA OF THE RING!
Stew-O: As now Drake can be seen trying to bring himself up onto the apron, clutching onto the ropes before Minerva can retaliate against Drake King much further here—BUT MINERVA’S NOW GRABBING A HOLD OF DRAKE’S NECK, AS HE’S DRAPING HIM FROM THE ROPES & JUST OVER THE TACKS! MINERVA’S LOOKING TO PUT DRAKE AWAY WITH A DRAPING DDT ONTO THE THUMBTACKS—
(BZZZTT!!!)
Flannery McCoy: BUT DRAKE QUICKLY MOVES BACKWARD AND DROPS DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR—AS HE YANKS MINERVA INTO THE ROPES WITH THE SHOCK COLLAR! NECK FIRST YET AGAIN AS MINERVA COUGHS VIOLENTLY AFTER THE IMPACT TO THE ROPES CAUSES THE COLLAR TO SHOCK MINERVA AS WELL!
Jake Mercer: Minerva’s trying to clutch onto her own neck as the shock in unison with being sent into the ropes was enough to rattle her! BUT DRAKE YANKS MINERVA OVER TO THE CORNER WHILE HE’S ON THE OUTSIDE! NOW HE’S WRAPPING THE WIRE AROUND MINERVA’S NECK & THE RING POST AS HE’S PULLING BACK WITH ALL OF HIS STRENGTH!! MINERVA’S WIDE EYES AND TRYING TO GET HERSELF OUT OF THIS BUT IT’S TROUBLESOME!
Stew-O: THE REFEREE IS CHECKING ON MINERVA! THIS CAN PAN OUT POORLY FOR HER IN AN INSTANT IF SHE SEES THAT IT’S TOO MUCH TO BARE! MINERVA’S CRIMSON MASK IS HIDING THE BLUE THAT MUST BE BUILDING UP WHILE SHE’S FADING!
Flannery McCoy: TILL MINERVA SWIPES A HANDFUL OF THUMBTACKS AND CHUCKS THEM FROM BEHIND ONTO DRAKE’S FACE! The desperation allows her to be freed as Drake immediately let’s go, swatting away all of the tacks that may have remained on his face while Minerva’s trying to pull herself back together! She proceeds to cough violently all the more as she finds footing, slow to her feet while DRAKE’S SLIDING BACK IN—
Jake Mercer: AND YANKS MINERVA INTO A JUMPING KNEE ACROSS HER OWN JAW!! MINERVA’S STUNNED CONSIDERABLY BY THE KNEE! DRAKE’S NOW PLACING MINERVA INTO POSITION, ABLE TO HOIST HER UPWARD OVER HER SHOULDERS & ABOVE THE TACKS!!!
Stew-O: AS A SIT-OUT POWERBOMB ONTO THE THUMBTACKS FOLLOWS THROUGH! MINERVA IS SENT ONTO THE TACKS!!!! Drake is maintaining the pin as her shoulders are down! The referee rushes to ensure the pin can be counted here!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEE—
Flannery McCoy: NOT ENOUGH! MINERVA IS ABLE TO KICK OUT!!! She’s remaining resilient while Drake is now bringing himself back up, feeling the effects of this battle weigh heavily on him as Minerva is struggling to find any ground! She’s trying to crawl, but Drake’s now dragging Minerva over toward those steps that have already been used to cause so much agony upon the both of them!
Jake Mercer: AS JAKE SLAMS MINERVA’S HEAD ONTO THE STEEL STEPS! AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! DRAKE CONTINUES TO SLAM HER HEAD ONTO THE COLD STEEL ‘TILL MINERVA IS NOT MAKING ANY SUDDEN MOVEMENTS WHATSOEVER!! Drake is incensed as he wants nothing more than to keep the former New Eden stablemate down for as much as he’d like to!
Stew-O: Minerva’s not moving!! She’s prone over the steel steps as Drake is slowly backing himself away, and his eyes continue to grow incensed while he seems to have dire intentions in mind… Oh no.. DRAKE’S UNDERSTANDING WHAT MUST BE DONE! MINERVA’S DOWN & OUT YET HE’S STILL WILLING TO TAKE THIS FURTHER!
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE KING IS LOOKING TO RUSH FORWARD AND SEND ‘JUDGMENT DAY’ UPON MINERVA WITH A CURB STOMP ONTO THE STEEL!!!
(BZZZT!!!)
Jake Mercer: MINERVA YANKED DRAKE ONTO THE STEPS AS IT TRIGGERED THE SHOCK COLLAR! Drake’s squirming around as the shock collar caused a sudden flurry of agony to sweep him off of his feet entirely!!! Drake’s grasping onto his own neck as Minerva is now finding the willpower to bring herself back up, glaring toward Drake as she’s taking advantage of the situation… DRAGGING DRAKE OVER & INTO POSITION—
Stew-O: ‘TWILIGHT’ DRIVES DRAKE KING DOWN ONTO THE THUMBTACKS!!! DRAKE IS TAKEN DOWN AS MINERVA HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE WIN!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEE—
Flannery McCoy: KICK OUT!!! Drake with the shoulder up as Minerva will have to inflict far more pressure upon Drake King to ensure that he’s gonna get through this—BUT MINERVA’S QUICKLY GRABBING A TABLE PIECE DORMANT ON THE MAT & STABBING DOWNWARD! DRAKE IS TRYING TO SHIELD HIMSELF THE BEST THAT HE CAN AS MINERVA’S STABBING & SCRAPING INTO HIS FOREARMS!
Jake Mercer: AND DRAKE’S STILL BACK FIRST ONTO THE TACKS IN THE MIDST OF THIS!! MINERVA MIGHT JUST COMMIT TO REALLY BLINDING HIM HERE IF HE CAN’T GET HIMSELF OUT OF THIS SPOT—
Stew-O: DRAKE WITH A HANDFUL OF TACKS IS ABLE TO SCRAPE THE THUMBTACKS ONTO MINERVA’S FACE!! MINERVA HAS TO BACK OFF AS SHE’S QUICKLY PLUCKING OFF ANY TACKS ON HER FACE! Drake’s wide eyed as he’s now able to assume back up to the position that he needs to maintain, as he sees Minerva is struggling to gain her composure back WHILE HE’S RUSHING TOWARD HER!
Flannery McCoy: WITH A SUDDEN LARIAT TO TAKE HER RIGHT OFF OF HER FEET!!! NOW DRAKE’S DRAGGING MINERVA UPWARD, AND HE’S WRAPPING THE WIRE AROUND HIS OWN KNEE AS HE’S THEN GOT HIS OPPONENT HOISTED UPWARD & CRASHING DOWN—
Jake Mercer: WITH ‘CROWN OF THORNS’ RIGHT ONTO THE WIRE-WRAPPED KNEE OF DRAKE KING!!
(BZZZT!!!)
Stew-O: WHICH TRIGGERS THE SHOCK COLLAR OF MINERVA AS WELL!! MINERVA’S IN VISIBLE PAIN AS DRAKE WAS ABLE TO COMMIT TO THE MANEUVER IN SUCCESSION! DRAKE IS HOOKING THE LEG, WITH THE REFEREE MAKING THE COUNT HAPPEN!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Flannery McCoy: NO! NOT ENOUGH!! MINERVA IS ABLE TO STAY IN IT FOR THIS STAGE! Drake King is trying assume back the control that he once had but he’s struggling to find it! Drake now emerges back up to his feet, now looking to drag Minerva closer to the corner, as he’s sending repeated stomps right onto her abdomen to keep her suppressed! ALSO TUGGING THE WIRE WHILE KEEPING HER PRESSED AGAINST THE MAT TO TRIGGER THE SHOCK COLLAR AGAIN! MY GOODNESS!
Jake Mercer: As Drake is now backing himself away, shaking his own head as he’s glaring upon her while leaned by the ropes! He drops down to the apron and immediately looks toward under the apron… AS HE RETRIEVES A SLEDGEHAMMER! NOW DRAKE KING IS LOOKING TO TRULY SECURE VICTORY BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!!! MINERVA IS RISING BACK UP TO HER FEET WHILE SHE IS ENTIRELY UNAWARE OF DRAKE RUSHING TOWARD HER—
Stew-O: AS HE SWINGS—KICK TO THE GROIN!!! MINERVA WITH A VERY SUDDEN KICK THAT SHE PLACED ALL OF HER STRENGTH INTO AS THE SLEDGEHAMMER FLIES OUT OF DRAKE’S HANDS! DRAKE IS WIDE EYED AS HE DROPS TO HIS KNEES, WITH MINERVA GLARING TOWARD HIM NOW! HE’S BEEN BROUGHT TO HIS MOST VULNERABLE STATE YET!
Flannery McCoy: MINERVA RUSHES OVER AS SHE’S DRAGGING DRAKE KING INTO PLACE, WITH NO RESTRAINTS AS SHE’S NOW PLACING HIM INTO POSITION, NOT WASTING ANY TIME IN SEEKING OUT ANOTHER SURFACE TO SEND THE MESSAGE AS SHE’S GOT HIM—
Jake Mercer: ‘A CLOCKWORK ORANGE’!!! MINERVA IS ABLE TO SEND DRAKE SPIRALLING ONTO THE MAT AS SHE’S TRYING TO MAINTAIN THE PIN!!! THE REFEREE MAKES THE COUNT! TO SECURE THE STAGE AND END THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(# BZZZT!!!)
Stew-O: DRAKE TUGGED THE SHOCK COLLAR! NOT THE ENERGY TO KICK OUT BUT BARELY ENOUGH TO TUG THE COLLAR & CAUSE MINERVA TO GET OFF OF HIM AS SHE CLUTCHES HER OWN NECK IN IMMENSE PAIN! DRAKE STOPPED THIS MATCH FROM GOING SIDEWAYS FOR HIMSELF TONIGHT AS THE SHOCK COLLAR STAGE CONTINUES!
Flannery McCoy: Minerva is bringing herself back up, albeit she is moving more slowly and clutching onto her abdomen as she’s got a grip of the ropes to pull herself up to a stance! Drake’s still recovering, as Minerva soon glares toward Drake, now grabbing a hold of the shock collar on her own right BY YANKING THE SHOCK COLLAR BACK!
(# BZZZT!!!)
Jake Mercer: AS DRAKE KING FEELS EVERY BIT OF THAT! Drake’s forced to stand upright as he’s now got a grasp of the wire, fighting through the shock to his system as he’s able to TUG THE WIRE AS WELL! MINERVA GRITTING HER TEETH AS SHE’S KEEPING HERSELF STANDING AS WELL!
Stew-O: AS MINERVA TUGS THE WIRE AGAIN—BUT DRAKE IS HOLDING OUT! DRAKE IS ALSO TRYING TO TUG, BUT MINERVA IS HOLDING HER GROUND!! THEY’RE EACH TRYING TO STOP ONE ANOTHER FROM POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING THE SHOCK COLLAR AROUND THEIR RESPECTIVE NECKS!

Jake Mercer: BUT MINERVA’S FIGHTING!!! SHE’S TRYING TO STAY IN THIS STAGE AS SHE’S CLAWING AWAY AT DRAKE’S FACE!!!!
Drake King: (off-mic) *For your own good… FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, YOU HEAR ME! FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!!*
Stew-O: DRAKE’S APPLYING THE SCRIPTURE AS TIGHTLY AS HE POSSIBLY CAN!!!! MINERVA’S STRUGGLE IS GROWING WEAKER AS SHE’S FADING! THE BLOOD IS MASKING IT BUT SHE’S GOTTA BE TURNING BLUE!!!
Flannery McCoy: MINERVA’S EYES ARE SHUT!!! SHE’S OUT OF IT!!! THE REFEREE PRIES DRAKE OFF OF MINERVA IN A HURRY AS HE REWARDED THE STAGE TO DRAKE KING!
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER OF THE SECOND STAGE… DRAKE KING!!!!
(As the referee is helping remove the wire from around Minerva’s neck, and then taking the shock collars off of both Minerva & Drake King… The cell can be seen lowering downward, to the immense reaction of the audience.)
Stephie Love: THE THIRD & FINAL STAGE… HELLLLLL, IN A CELLLLLL, BEGINS NOW!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: HERE WE GO! It’s down to this! The Hell In A Cell structure has begun to lower as—WHAT THE HELL?!? WHAT THE HELL IS DRAKE KING DOING?!?
Flannery McCoy: HE JUST SHOVED THE REFEREE AWAY FROM MINERVA! HE’S NOW DRAGGING HER AWAY FROM THE RING AND ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR AS THE CELL IS NOW JUST A COUPLE FEET AWAY FROM THE GROUND—
Jake Mercer: AND HE’S KEEPING HER HELD DOWN RIGHT UNDER THE CELL!!! THE CELL’S BEING LOWERED AS HER NECK IS JUST MOMENTS AWAY FROM BEING CRUSHED BY THE HELL IN A CELL!! THE REFEREE IS MORTIFIED AS HE’S YELLING AT DRAKE KING TO HALT!
Drake King: (off-mic) IT HAS TO BE THIS WAY!
Stew-O: OH MY GOD!!! IT’S LESS THAN FIVE FEET AWAY FROM MINERVA!!! SHE’S GONNA GET CRUSHED—
Flannery McCoy: MINERVA RAKES THE EYES OF DRAKE KING AS DRAKE YELLS OUT! HE’S FORCED LET GO AS THE TWO QUICKLY ROLL THEMSELVES AWAY FROM UNDER THE CELL WALL & LEAN AGAINST THE BARRICADE!
Jake Mercer: The cell’s been lowered completely and they’re BOTH on the outside! Drake is rubbing his own eyes as he’s finding his vision again, Minerva was able to escape disaster for the time being as Drake was literally gonna kill the woman!!!!
Stew-O: WHICH MINERVA FULLY UNDERSTANDS AS SHE TACKLES DRAKE DOWN! SHE’S RAINING DOWN THE STRIKES UPON DRAKE KING AS SHE’S REFUSING TO LET UP! MINERVA IS ANGRY!! DRAKE IS ABLE TO PUSH HER OFF AND DESPERATELY RETURN BACK TO HIS FEET—
Flannery McCoy: BUT MINERVA SLAMS HIS HEAD INTO THE CELL WALL!! AND AGAIN!!! AND AGAIN!!! AND AGAIN!!! MINERVA IS MAKING SURE THAT DRAKE’S UNABLE TO EVEN FUNCTION WITH EVERY SLAM ONTO THE CELL THAT SHE’S CAUSING RIGHT HERE!
Jake Mercer: AS MINERVA PROCEEDS TO SLAM DRAKE BACK INTO THE BARRICADE!!! THE WHIPLASH OF BEING SLAMMED BACKWARD CAUSES DRAKE TO SLUMP DOWN!! MINERVA HAS ALL OF THE CONTROL!
Stew-O: But now Minerva is motioning over to the timekeepers area, as she’s quickly grabbing a tool box and spilling the contents right here! Shortly before, OH NO! EQUIPPING HERSELF WITH A SCREWDRIVER!! MINERVA IS NOW PACING TOWARD DRAKE KING HERE AS SHE’S LOOKING TO SWING RIGHT OVER & ONTO HIS SKULL!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT DRAKE EVADES THE SWING!!! AND NOW HE’S EAGERLY CLIMBING THE HELL!! DRAKE IS MAKING THE CLIMB! MINERVA IS INCENSED AS SHE’S FOLLOWING RIGHT BEHIND DRAKE KING! THEY ARE BOTH MAKING THE CLIMB AS THIS HAS BECOME A CAT & MOUSE CHASE!! DRAKE’S LOOKING TO EVADE THE CONSEQUENCES HERE!
Jake Mercer: And now Drake’s made it all the way to the top! Minerva looks to continue following suit as she’s now bringing herself up and onto the cell as well—BUT DRAKE STOMPS ON THE HAND WITH THE SCREWDRIVER! Minerva has to drop the screwdriver as Drake is now laying in the rights & lefts! Drake is keeping her from placing any control over himself as he’s refusing to let up on this!!! DRAKE LOOKS TO GRAB THE SCREWDRIVER—
Stew-O: BUT NOW MINERVA IS TRYING TO GOUGE DRAKE KING’S EYES!!! HER THUMBS ARE PRESSED UP AGAINST DRAKE’S EYES AS THIS RETURNS CONTROL TO HER! She turns Drake right over and proceeds to send repeated rights spiralling onto Drake while he’s trying to shield himself desperately! This is not panning out well for him as MINERVA TOOK HOLD OF THE SCREWDRIVER AND SWUNG DOWNWARD!
Flannery McCoy: BUT DRAKE KICKS MINERVA AWAY! HE’S QUICKLY BACKING AWAY FROM MINERVA WHILE SHE’S EAGERLY ON THE PROWL—BUT DRAKE’S AT THE EDGE OF THE CELL NOW! THERE’S NO ESCAPE HERE!! MINERVA’S LOOKING TO MAKE GOOD ON HAVING DRAKE ALL TO HERSELF AS SHE’S RUSHING FORWARD!
Jake Mercer: BUT DRAKE ROLLS AWAY AS MINERVA HAS TO STOP HERSELF AT THE EDGE AS WELL! SHE’S TEETERING HERE AS SHE NOW TURNS HERSELF BACK AROUND—
Stew-O: A KICK DIRECTLY TO THE ABDOMEN CAUSES MINERVA TO VIOLENTLY WINCE IN PAIN AS SHE DROPS TO A PRONE POSITION! THE ABDOMEN IS TARGETED AGAIN!! MINERVA CAN’T DEFEND HERSELF HERE AS DRAKE IS NOW RISING BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AND HE SEES THAT MINERVA’S VULNERABLE HERE AS HE’S TREADING FORWARD JUST BEFORE—
Flannery McCoy: ‘JUDGMENT DAY’!!!! JUDGMENT DAY ONTO THE CELL ROOF!!! CURB STOMPED MINERVA RIGHT ONTO THE CELL AS SHE’S OUT COLD!!! DRAKE’S SAT ON TOP OF THE CELL, HEAVY BREATHS AND BRUISES ALL OVER YET DRAKE IS NOW SMIRKING TO HIMSELF AS MINERVA CAN ONLY MUSTER UP RAISING HER UPPER BODY BEFORE—OH MY GOD!?!?!!?
Jake Mercer: **DRAKE KICKS MINERVA OFF OF THE ROOF OF THE CELL!!!!**
Stew-O: BUT SHE HOLDS ON!!!! HER HANDS ARE HOLDING TIGHTLY ONTO THE EDGE OF THE CELL!!! MINERVA IS WIDE-EYED AS SHE’S TRYING TO MUSTER UP THE STRENGTH TO CLIMB HERSELF BACK UP—
Flannery McCoy: MY GOODNESS!!! DRAKE JUST STABBED ONE OF HER HANDS WITH THE SCREWDRIVER!!! MINERVA IS FORCED TO LET GO AS SHE’S NOW HOLDING ON WITH ONE HAND!!!
Drake King: (off-mic) Enough…
(Drake places his own foot directly over Minerva’s one hand that’s left holding on, as Minerva’s desperately holding on for dear life while Drake has the screwdriver in possession.)
Drake King: (off-mic) That’s enough. You’re about to fall to the demise I’ve been waiting FAR TOO PATIENTLY to deliver directly to you…
(Drake continued to sink his foot deeper onto her hand, as Minerva grimaced in immense anguish while furiously glaring up at him.)
Drake King: (off-mic) Even then, even when my resolve to make this your last night as an elitist is strengthened to this degree… I’ll still humor you.
(A sly smirk emerged while Drake glared upon her.)
Drake King: (off-mic) *Give up. Submit. Deep down, it’s what Constance would want…*
(The sheer mention of Constance Blevins causes Minerva’s eyes to widen through the crimson mask that dons her face, as the fury can be seen in full, as if every word beforehand was never uttered…)
Minerva: (off-mic) …….
(Minerva, with all of the vitriol & anger vested within her… mustered up all of the saliva & blood to spit directly in the face of Drake King.)
Drake King: (off-mic) …..So be it.
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE STABS MINERVA’S LONE HAND WITH THE SCREWDRIVER AS WELL!!!!
Stew-O: AND MINERVA—
(# CRASH!!!!!!)
Jake Mercer: **HOLY SHIT SHE JUST CRASHED THROUGH OUR ANNOUNCE DESK!!!!!** ALL THE WAY FROM THE CELL ROOF AND ONTO THE DESK!!! IT COMBUSTED UPON IMPACT AS MINERVA IS LAID OUT WITHIN THE DEBRIS!!! YOU CAN SEE THE FACES OF SHOCK AMONGST THE AUDIENCE! I HOPE OUR MICS ARE STILL OPERABLE AND YOU CAN HEAR US!!
Stew-O: MINERVA’S COUGHING UP BLOOD PROFUSELY! SHE’S UNABLE TO MOVE AS OFFICIALS ARE NOW RUSHING TO HER, CHECKING ON HER AS THIS HAS ALL TURNED FOR THE VERY WORST!!! SHE NEEDS HELP IMMEDIATELY AFTER WHAT SHE HAS BEEN PUT THROUGH!!
(The referee immediately opened the door to the cell, and made his way around to Minerva to check on her as well. Drake King can be seen sitting at the edge of the cell roof, his glare upon her imposing itself while now bringing himself downward, climbing down to the bottom as he then lands on the ringside floor, his gaze never leaving Minerva.)
Drake King: (off-mic) Out of the way… OUT OF THE WAY!
Flannery McCoy: HE’S DRAGGING HER AWAY FROM THE DEBRIS! ENOUGH OF THIS ALREADY! HOW MUCH MORE DEPLORABLE CAN YOU BE??!?
Jake Mercer: THE MATCH IS NOT OVER! DRAKE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL IT’S ALL DONE!
(The officials are screaming at Drake, but he places Minerva over his own shoulders, mustering up all of the energy he’s got to walk through the cell door and then push Minerva back onto the canvas.)
Stew-O: I’ll have to agree, this is absolutely deplorable & outright disgusting. But there’s nothing that can be done about it, all that matters is Minerva will get the assistance she needs after Drake finally ends this match.
Flannery McCoy: Just disgusting…
Jake Mercer: And with that, Drake leans back & onto Minerva as the referee begrudgingly counts the pin.
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Jake Mercer: That’s all she wrote.
(Suddenly, the audience erupts with immediate effect, as Drake King’s eyes go absolutely wide.)
Flannery McCoy: I…
(As a shoulder can be seen painstakingly lifted up, followed by a bloodcurdling scream.)
Minerva: # (off-mic) NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Stew-O: MINERVA. STAYS. IN. THIS. MATCH!!!! MINERVA IS REFUSING TO GIVE IN!!!! SHE’S SOMEHOW REGAINED ANY SEMBLANCE OF CONSCIOUS WHILE BLOOD IS STILL TRICKLING FROM HER MOUTH!!! HOW IS SHE DOING THIS?!?!?? SHE WILL NOT REMAIN DOWN FOR THE THREE DESPITE FALLING FROM THE CELL ROOF!
Flannery McCoy: AND LOOK AT DRAKE KING!!! DRAKE IS SHOCKED TO HIS CORE! HE CAN’T BELIEVE THAT MINERVA HAS BEEN ABLE TO REMAIN ALIVE THROUGH THIS BATTLE! MINERVA IS FIGHTING FOR ALL OF THE FAMILY IN HER LIFE THAT DRAKE PERSONALLY TARGETED!! SHE WILL NOT LET HIM WIN!!
Jake Mercer: BUT THERE’S AN EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM LOOMING! DRAKE IS BACKING HIMSELF AWAY INTO THE CORNER, AND HIS EYES ARE CONSUMED BY ANGER! IF YOU THOUGHT HE WASN’T ALREADY AIMING FOR THE KILL THEN, IT’S COMING RIGHT NOW!!
Stew-O: DRAKE’S FOOT IS REARED BACK AS THIS CAN ONLY SIGNAL THIS IS NO JUDGMENT DAY TO BE EXPECTED! MINERVA’S WEAKLY BRINGING HER HEAD UP AS THIS CAN TURN OUT FOR THE WORST—
Flannery McCoy: # ‘BOOK OF DRISTIANITY’!!!!!

Jake Mercer: ***’THE DARK’ MIST DIRECTLY INTO DRAKE’S EYES!!!*** DRAKE IS BLINDED!!!! THE MIST HAS CAUSED DRAKE TO LOSE ALL OF HIS VISION!!! MINERVA SOMEHOW MUSTERED UP ONE MORE BAG OF HER TRICKS TO CAUSE DRAKE TO ASSUME VULNERABILITY!!
Stew-O: AND NOW MINERVA IS REACHING TO THE VERY WEAPON THAT SHE EVADED EARLIER, AND SLOWLY RISING BACK UP TO HER FEET AS IT’S WITHIN HER GRASP… AS SHE RUSHES TOWARD DRAKE!
Flannery McCoy: AND SWINGS THE SLEDGEHAMMER RIGHT OVER HIS SKULL!!!! DRAKE DROPS TO HIS KNEES IN AN INSTANT AS HE MUST BE OUT COLD!!! MINERVA SCREAMS OUT AS SHE DROPS THE SLEDGEHAMMER, NOW KEEPING ALL OF HER NEWFOUND ADRENALINE VESTED DEEP DOWN BEFORE KEEPING DRAKE IN PLACE—READY TO SEND THE MESSAGE FURTHER!!!
Jake Mercer: ‘THE SIREN’S LONELY SONG’!!!! IT CONNECTS!!! MINERVA JUST SPIKED DRAKE’S SKULL INTO THE MAT WITH PRECISION AS SHE’S CAUSED DRAKE TO LAY FLAT ON THE CANVAS! MINERVA HAS THIS MATCH ALL WITHIN HER OWN HANDS!
(Minerva drops to her knees as her head is lowered, her energy visibly spent as Drake is absolutely motionless. However, no pin is being made on her behalf. She wipes all of the blood from her own face as she’s now looking directly toward Drake, and her face suddenly returns to the same rage-induced glare.)
Minerva: (off-mic) Drake… King….
(Minerva grips a handful of Drake’s hair, as she drags Drake back up to his knees, all before slowly backing away, as she makes the gun motion with her fingers directly at the long-lived rival…)
Minerva: (off-mic) *Her regards.*
Stew-O: ‘THE ABOLISHMENT’ ACROSS DRAKE’S SKULL!!! AN ODE TO CONSTANCE BLEVINS AS DRAKE KING IS SENT THROUGH HELL EVEN FURTHER, NOW LEANING AGAINST MINERVA WHILE SHE’S ABLE TO REMAIN STANDING ON HER OWN TWO FEET!!
Flannery McCoy: AS MINERVA IS NOW ABLE TO FIND THE ENERGY LEFT WITHIN HER TO DRAG DRAKE UP TO A PROPER STANCE, AND WITH A SWIFT FIXING OF THEIR POSITION… AN IRON CLAW SITUATED OVER THE HEAD OF DRAKE KING TO CLOSE OFF THE BATTLE!!
Jake Mercer: ‘THE STIR OF ECHOES’ FOLLOWS THROUGH!!! GAME. SET. MATCH! MINERVA MAINTAINS THE PINFALL AS DRAKE’S NOT MOVING AN INCH!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNERRRRRRRR…. MINERVAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: YES!!!! SHE DID IT!!!! MINERVA HAS DEFEATED DRAKE KING IN ONE OF THE HELLACIOUS MATCHES I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! She persevered & found the way to keep Drake down for that count, and righting all of the wrongs of the past against him!
Jake Mercer: Hell of a battle indeed! Drake King himself was displaying a newfound level of cunning and ability as he brought Minerva to the very brink of her entire being throughout the match, with each stage becoming more & more of a struggle!
Stew-O: Yet, the battle ends with one victor, and Minerva ultimately became capable of surmounting the immense hellscape she endured at the hands of Drake King. Congratulations to the new #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship, Minerva!
(‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ can be heard blaring throughout the speakers as officials begin to sprawl into the ring with the structure being raised. Minerva can barely return to her feet, but is helped upward as her hand is soon raised in victory. Minerva is overcome with emotion as the weight of the victory can be felt, while Drake is completely out cold with officials tending to him as well. With a hand around her abdomen, and leaning on the ropes, Minerva gives one last glance to Drake King before the scene soon fades.)

(“Sweet Dreams” by Eurythmics plays on the speakers and the reaction is always the same, loud boos. Harper Lee slowly walks out towards the entrance ramp, spreading out her arms to the side and then spinning around, standing at the top with an incredibly confident smile on her face, she has never felt as confident as she has in this match, she thought by this point this would be the easiest world title opportunity ever, she would only need to overcome some bug named Jon Kelton. That is why she was so joyous, it would not take long before she was back at the top. And right now, completely focused on her own thoughts, she walked down while the crowd continued to react negatively.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, WEIGHING IN AT 118 POUNDS, HAILING FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, SHE IS THE “FROZEN STAR”, HARPEEEEERRRR LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: You have to wonder at this point if Harper even regrets all of the actions that she has taken before getting to this match, it is clear that she did not take Jon Kelton seriously in any way possible the entire week, hell, the first moment this match was announced.
Deadprez: She has always been like this, but tonight out of all nights, her smile has widened a little bit more because she truly believes Jon Kelton is not on her level in any way possible. It is her own responsibility to show up and show that her thinking is right, or all that she is saying is pure bullcrap.
Gavin Kirkland: I am sure the match will be very nice and very friendly though!…probably not, yeah.
(Harper rolls inside and then poses in her corner, excited to basically break Kelton’s dreams by her own hand. At that moment, “Lost In The World” by Kanye West plays on the speakers and the reaction quickly flips, loud cheers can be heard all across the arena as one man rushes out with focus in his step, with a mission, to finally win the world championship, the one thing he has been wishing for so long. Jon Kelton bursts out onto the entrance ramp, spotlights of various colors shining down.
Gina Romano: AND INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT, WEIGHING IN AT 205 POUNDS, RESIDING FROM DALLAS, TEXAS, HE IS “THE LAAASSTTTT HOPEEEEEE” JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNN KELTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNN!!!
Eve: Kelton is focused, more than usual. He knows he has something to prove tonight and he probably believes it is now or never to be able to succeed on that.
Deadprez: There is a lot that has lead up to this man’s career, a lot of trying, a lot of getting things right and wrong, and in the past few months where it felt like they have been the most heart wrenching one’s possible for his life, he is still going out there willing to prove himself.
Eve: Despite who Harper is as a person, you can’t deny that this will be one of Kelton’s toughest challenges so far in his season, and if he is able to succeed, he can finally go and prove himself right after so long, but if he doesn’t… you have to ask yourself what is next.
(Kelton walks down, spreading his arms a bit and accepting the high fives from the people in the front row, the people pushing him forward as he moves to go up the steels stairs and enter inside to go into his own corner.)
(Jon Kelton was ready. Harper Lee was ready. Who would win? Let’s find out.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: AND THE MATCH IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY!
Eve: A… surprising start, to say the least! Harper is pumping herself up in her own corner, making small jumps and trying to stretch her limbs while Jon Kelton is simply staring towards his opponent and not letting Harper leave his vision for even a second, Kelton knows how much is on the line and the tricks that Harper is going to end up pulling along in these kinds of situations.
Deadprez: Hey, even I have to admit that I expected Kelton to rush out of the corner at full speed and energy trying to take Harper down at all costs, but it seems that he is finally willing to play the waiting game, and of course, that is not on Harper’s mind!
Eve: Hell, Harper is seemingly already planning on her mind! Harper walks out of the corner and then starts yelling towards Kelton!
Harper Lee: (off-mic) Hey Kelton, did you forget how wrestling works? You have to get close to me!
Gavin Kirkland: Now personally, whatever she is saying, I would not let her talk to me like that in any way possible.
Deadprez: Now we know damn well…
Gavin Kirkland: Well, it is for me to be able to get closer to Harper, I’ll let her kick my ass if necessary-
Eve: Well, thankfully, Jon Kelton is not Gavin Kirkland and he is obviously, not taking what Harper says to him at face value, he calmly comes out of the corner with a relaxed expression on his face and gets closer, raising his arms up and ready to try and go for a lock-up here.
Deadprez: Harper raises her arms too and is ready to go on the lock-up herself, as the two move forward-
Eve: And Harper ends up stepping to the side?
Gavin Kirkland: …Did she just trip Kelton????
Eve: Side Headlock! Smart move by Harper! But Kelton is ready!
Deadprez: Harper ends up letting go of the headlock as Kelton goes to throw her off of him, but she uses her agility to end up landing on her feet like it is nothing, and then- BAM! A BACKHANDED CHOP STRAIGHT TOWARDS KELTON’S CHEST!
Eve: And you best believe Harper is getting back what she is asked for, as Kelton goes to throw it back- AND THEN HITS HARPER RIGHT ON THE CHEST WITH HIS OWN CHOP!
Gavin Kirkland: The two of them barely responding to the hits of the other, not much that I see from the wrestlers, and honestly, if you ask me, I believe that those two might have-
Eve: Yeah I have a feeling what words you were going to end with on that sentence so it is better that I explain instead, as obviously, Harper and Kelton are just starting off the match and are fresh so far, but it is clear that they are using their anger against each other to take the other one down.
Deadprez: I do wonder why they are slowing down again…
Eve: Kelton is backing away and making sure to yet again not fall for any of Harper’s tricks, all while Harper is…
Deadprez: Yawning? Does she think this match is a complete joke or something? She is showing no respect at all towards Kelton in any single way possible! It is insane!
Eve: KELTON SEES HIS OPPORTUNITY AND THEN RUNS FORWARD, LIFTING HIS LEG UP AND TRYING TO HIT HARPER RIGHT ON THE JAW! “GALICK GUUUNNN!!!”
Deadprez: HARPER ENDS UP TAKING A STEP BACK AND BARELY AVOIDS THE SUPERKICK CONNECTING AGAINST HER JAW! SHE PUSHES KELTON’S LEG DOWN AND THEN RUSHES FORWARD, LIFTING HER FIST AND THEN GOING TO HIT THE “DRAGON FIST” RIGHT ON THE MIDDLE OF HIS CHEST!
Eve: KELTON STEPS TO THE SIDE AND AVOIDS THE HOOK, PUSHING HARPER AWAY FROM HIM AND THEN PUTTING UP HIS GUARD ONCE MORE! Yet again, another standstill from these two wrestlers!
(Kelton backs away and then simply keeps his sight on Harper, his eyes not moving a single inch away from her while Harper ends up shrugging in response and then keeps a confident grin on her face, her nonchalant nature continuing to annoy Kelton.)
Deadprez: Kelton really trying to find a way to be able to take Harper down while Harper is really trying her best to get under Kelton’s skin, no wonder these two are continuing to go to a standstill here in this match.
Eve: BUT IT SEEMS THAT KELTON HAS FINALLY GOTTEN IN HIS HEAD THAT HE NEEDS TO ATTACK, AS HE RUNS FORWARD TOWARDS HARPER AND THEN GOES TO RAISE UP HIS ARM, TRYING TO HIT HER DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE RIGHT TO HER FACE!
Deadprez: HARPER ENDS UP DUCKING DOWN THAT MOVE ONCE MORE AND THEN GRABS ONTO KELTON’S WRIST, QUICKLY TURNING HIM AROUND AND THEN PULLING HIM TOWARDS HER, TRYING TO HIT HIM RIGHT ON WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TOWARDS HIS CHEST!
Eve: IT LANDS… BUT KELTON PUSHES THROUGH AND GRABS ONTO HARPER’S WRIST AS WELL, PULLING HER THIS TIME TOWARDS HIM AND FLOORING HER DOWN WITH THE CLOTHESLINE! KELTON FOUND A CHANCE AND HE TOOK IT!
Deadprez: He is grabbing onto his chest from the force of the kick but the opportunity was wide enough for him to take and be able to take down Harper! And now that he has Harper right where he wants her, he decides to go for it! He runs forward towards the ropes and then jumps onto the middle… BEFORE GOING FOR A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT!
Gavin Kirkland: EEEHHH! WRONG MOVE TO USE! You think Soccer Mom is going to end up being so weak she ends up getting knocked out by a clothesline? She ends up putting up her knees just as Kelton comes down, and I am sure she is now going to end up doing an incredibly cool move that is going to wow the crowd!
Eve: Harper ends up grabbing onto Kelton and then goes for a Small Package Pin!
Gavin Kirkland: …well, at least it is effective!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TW-
Eve: Not even a two count with that one.
Gavin Kirkland: Alright, what are we doing here then?
Deadprez: Goes to show you that despite Harper’s plans and strategies working out for her, she is not the type of wrestler that can outmatch someone in pure strength, case in point, the strategy that she is taking at trying to get under Kelton’s skin and get him riled up.
Eve: Well, hopefully Harper is able to find a way out of this one because as she tries to get away, Kelton yet once more grabs onto her wrist and then pulls her towards him as he kicks out of the pinfall!
Deadprez: AND HE LIFTS HER UP INTO A SPINEBUSTER! BAAAAM! THAT ONE KELTON HITS IT RIGHT WHERE HE WANTS IT, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! AS KELTON ROLLS OVER AND THEN GOES TO COVER HARPER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOO-
Eve: And sadly, that is also a two count for Jon Kellton, just as Deadprez said a few minutes ago, they are very much at the same level currently and they are trying to somehow break through the other’s defenses!
Deadprez: And sadly, after various minutes of these shenanigans, it seems that it is finally starting to take effect as Kelton is starting to put in more pressure than before, moving his arms around to be able to get in the position that he needs!
Eve: That is giving Harper the chance to be able to re-position herself and then get up to her feet little by little! Kelton has to do something before it ends up backfiring on him!
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton tries to use his weight here to be able to bring Harper down to the ground again-
Deadprez: AND THAT DAMN HARPER JUST ENDS UP STOMPING THE HELL OUT OF KELTON’S KNEE! KELTON GRABS ONTO HIS LEG ON INSTINCT AND THAT GIVES HARPER THE CHANCE TO ESCAPE THE HEADLOCK!
Eve: AND AS KELTON TRIES TO MOVE BACK AGAIN AND THEN TRY TO GET HER, IT DOES NOT WORK AS HARPER TURNS AROUND AND THEN JUMPS OFF, HITTING KELTON RIGHT ON THE HEAD WITH A BICYCLE KICK AND THEN KNOCKING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Eve: Well, yet again, Harper is able to push the balance of the match to her advantage and right now with Kelton on the ground and with her chance of doing some more damage, she just… grabs onto his hand?
(Kelton is confused as Harper grabs onto his hand and then tilts her head to the side while looking down at him.)
Harper Lee: (off-mic) How many times do I have to put you down so that you learn your lesson?
Eve: KELTON SLAPS HARPER’S HAND AWAY AND THEN PUSHES HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET, MOVING QUICKLY TO TRY AND THROW A PUNCH AT HER!
Deadprez: HARPER IS USING HER SPEED TO HER ADVANTAGE HERE, WEAVING AND STEPPING TO BE ABLE TO DODGE KELTON’S PUNCHES! KELTON IS NOT TRYING TO PUSH BACK WITH A PLAN, HE IS JUST TRYING TO LAND A PUNCH! HE’S JUST MAKING HARPER GET WHAT SHE WANTS!
Eve: KELTON IS USING ALL HIS ENERGY HERE AND IS NOT HOLDING BACK WITH THE STRIKES BUT HARPER IS USING KELTON’S EMOTIONS AGAINST HIM AND TRYING TO MAKE HIM SUFFER FOR THEM! KELTON GOES TO THROW A PUNCH!
Deadprez: AND HARPER JUST KICKS HIS FIST AWAY LIKE IT IS NOTHING!
Harper Lee: (off-mic) You are nothing more than a pathetic sidekick-
Deadprez: BAAAAAAAANNGGGGG!!!
Eve: JON KELTON LANDS A PUNCH SQUARE ON HARPER’S FACE! AND KELTON’S EXPRESSION IS FULL OF PURE ANGER RIGHT NOW! HE STARTS KICKING AND THEN THROWING ELBOWS BACK AT HARPER, NOT LETTING HARPER A CHANCE TO EVEN BREATHE HERSELF AS HE IS BEATING THE ABSOLUTE CRAP OUT OF HER!
Gavin Kirkland: SOCCER MOM FLEW TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN AND NOW SHE IS FORCED TO LEARN THE LESSONS SHE HAS NEVER LEARNED BEFORE!
Deadprez: EVEN GAVIN IS SAYING SOME INTELLIGENT STUFF ON THIS MATCH FROM HOW SERIOUS THIS IS, AS KELTON FINALLY IS ABLE TO KICK HARPER IN THE GUT AND THEN GRABS ONTO HER, LIFTING HER UP HIGH IN THE AIR AND THEN TRYING TO GO FOR A SITOUT BRAINBUSTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRR!
Eve: BUT EVEN WITH THE BEATDOWN, HARPER IS NOT LETTING KELTON GET THE CHANCE TO PUT HER DOWN ON THE GROUND! AS SHE USES THE MOMENTUM OF THE LIFT TO SWING AND THEN LAND BEHIND HIM! KELTON PREPARES HIMSELF AS HE BELIEVES HARPER IS GOING TO GO FOR HER BACKSTABBER!
Deadprez: KELTON THOUGHT WRONG AS HARPER ENDS UP STOMPING HIM ON THE BACK OF HIS KNEE AND KELTON GETS FORCED TO ONE KNEE! HARPER TAKES SOME STEPS BACK AND THEN GOES TO BOUNCE OFF THE ROPES, RUNNING TOWARDS KELTON AND THEN SPINNING AROUND, BEFORE GOING TO HIT A DISCUS LARIAT RIGHT ACROSS HIS HEAD!
Eve: KELTON IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT AND GO DOWN LOW, GRABBING ONTO HARPER AND THEN LIFTING HER UP, BEFORE HITTING HER DOWN WITH A MODIFIED SIDEWALK SLAM! SLAMMING HARPER HARD AGAINST THE TOP OF HER BACK!
Deadprez: AND KELTON IS NOT DONE YET! HE USES HIS MOMENTUM TO ROLL OVER HARPER AND THEN LIFT HER UP ON HIS SHOULDERS AS HE GETS UP TO HIS FEET, RUNNING FORWARD AND THEN TRYING TO HIT A RUNNING POWERSLAM!
Gavin Kirkland: AND YET AGAIN, HARPER IS USING HER SLYNESS TO HER ADVANTAGE, SLIPPING YET AGAIN BEHIND KELTON AND THEN DROPPING HIM TO THE GROUND WITH A DROP TOE HOLD! HARPER GETS UP AND THEN RUNS TOWARDS THE ROPES, MOVING QUICKLY TO JUMP ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE AND THEN TRYING-
Eve: BUT KELTON IS FAST ENOUGH TO GRAB ONTO HER AND THEN GO TO DUMP HER OVER THE ROPES!
Deadprez: Harper ends up grabbing onto the ropes before she gets thrown over and then she falls onto the ring mat, Kelton is clueless to the fact Harper held on and he is backing away from the ropes to try and get some time to recover, all while Harper is pulling herself up with a gigantic grin on her face.
Eve: Yet again, Harper has Kelton right where she wants him, as she grabs onto the ropes and she is ready-
Deadprez: NOT THIS TIME, KELTON ACTUALLY EXPECTED THAT ONE AND THEN RAN FORWARD TOWARDS HARPER AT FULL SPEEDS!
Gavin Kirkland: Wait, what is he doing?!
Eve: KELTON SUDDENLY LEAPS FORWARD WITHOUT THINKING!
Deadprez: **”FINAL ATONEMEEEEEEEEEEENNTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!”**
Eve: THROUGH THE ROPES! KELTON LEAPS THROUGH THE ROPES AND BOTH HE AND HARPER ARE SENT OUT OF THE RING-
Gavin Kirkland: WATCH OUT!
( ***CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!*** )
Deadprez: SHUCKY DUCKY QUACK QUACK! KELTON AND HARPER! KELTON AND HARPER JUST FLEW THROUGH THE AIR AND THE TWO LANDED AND BROKE THROUGH THE ANNOUNCER’S TABLE! WHAT A DAMN SPECTACLE!
Crowd: :damn: :damn: :damn:
Eve: THE CROWD IS GOING BALLISTIC AT WHAT JUST HAPPENED! KELTON TOOK A GIGANTIC RISK BY SACRIFICING HIS OWN BODY AND SPEARING HARPER THROUGH THE ROPES! THAT MOVE WAS UNEXPECTED ENOUGH FOR HARPER THAT SHE DIDN’T EXPECT IT! HELL, THAT FINAL ATONEMENT MIGHT HAVE JUST ENDED THE MATCH RIGHT THEN AND THERE!
(Jon Kelton just saw red at that moment, he ended up letting anger completely get to him at that singular point of the match, and he simply leaped without thinking, a leap of faith, if you will. But he didn’t have the wings to be able to fly through it. He got Harper but… he is suddenly feeling a sharp pain in his left leg.)
Eve: Wait, Kelton is… grabbing onto his left knee! That is not… oh no.
Deadprez: Kelton must have hit his left knee against the edge of the table while he landed! He ended up getting Harper good with that one but now he has one less leg to work with!
Gavin Kirkland: Hey, as long as my opponent is also hurt from it, I am not going to complain about it! He has basically won the match, hasn’t he?
(The referee seeing the commotion outside now, they take a deep breath and they start counting.)
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: …right?
Eve: It seems that the high Kelton was on has quickly forced him down back to reality! Kelton has the match won right now! He just has to push through and get inside despite the pain in his left leg, but is he just going to accept a count-out win like that?
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: After the journey that Kelton has gone through, he is not the kind of person to take that kind of victory now, and even if, Kelton is enough of a prideful human being to not let this go, even if the situation was reversed and Harper would definitely take the countout win!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: Kelton is trying his best to move around after that crash, and luckily he didn’t get as much of it like Harper, so he is slowly getting to his knees and he is grabbing onto Harper’s arm!
FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Deadprez: Kelton stumbles though because of his left knee, he is gritting his teeth in pain and is trying his best to not put pressure on the leg, starting to pull Harper’s body now towards the ring apron!
FIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper must weigh like 0.5 kilograms but if she is deadweight, I assume it must be like… double, triple? I am not sure how that kind of thing works.
SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIXXXXXXXXXXX!!!
Eve: Open up the schools again! Sorry, uh- Well, it isn’t that much of a problem if Kelton is able to reach the ring apron, but the hard part is going to end up lifting Harper up and pushing her inside!
SEVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!
Deadprez: KELTON IS SLOWLY, INCH BY INCH, LIFTING HARPER UP, HE IS ABLE TO GET HER UPPER BODY OVER, AND NOW THERE IS JUST ONE MORE PART…
EIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!
Eve: KELTON PUSHES HARPER INSIDE! BUT WHAT ABOUT KELTON! IT FEELS LIKE HIS LEGS ARE ABOUT GIVE OUT ON HIM AT ANY MOMENT!
NINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: KELTON…
(…)
(…)
(…)
Eve: MAKES IT INSIDE! KELTON ROLLS INSIDE JUST IN TIME AND THE CROWD TAKES A SIGH OF RELIEF AT THE SIGHT… BUT NO! KELTON ENDS UP SCREAMING THROUGH HIS TEETH IN PAIN!
Eve: A DRAGON SCREW LEG WHIP TO KELTON’S LEFT LEG! HARPER WAS PLAYING POSSUM THE ENTIRE TIME!
Gavin Kirkland: KELTON ENDS UP LETTING GO AND HE FALLS HARD AGAINST THE MAT, GRABBING ONTO HIS LEFT KNEE WHILE HARPER IS LYING THERE ON THE RING APRON!
Eve: And… SHE IS SMILING! SHE IS EVEN LAUGHING TOWARDS THE CAMERA AS IT FOCUSES ON HER!
(But eventually, Harper stops laughing and she starts coughing loudly, as she grabs tightly onto her lower back and then tries to lay down for a few seconds.)
Eve: Well, it was definitely not a foolproof plan considering that she is on her ass trying to take a breath! Harper definitely didn’t expect Kelton to be that reckless and she ended up suffering the consequence of going down that route!
Deadprez: She is most likely telling herself how much of a genius she is either way, so she is probably going to repeat the same damn process either way, you can’t expect much from Harper.
Gavin Kirkland: But certainly, you can expect everything! What a woman- I mean ew, I mean cool, I mean ew, I mean cool, I mean-
Eve: Alright! Back to the actual match! Kelton is grabbing onto his leg and trying to move away-
Deadprez: BUT THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE AS SUDDENLY HARPER DROPS DOWN AND THEN HITS AN ELBOW TOWARDS HIS LEFT KNEE! KELTON IS FORCED TO GRIT HIS TEETH IN PAIN AND NOW HARPER IS NOT LETTING KELTON GET AWAY NOW THAT SHE HAS HIM COMPLETELY DEAD IN THE MAT!
Eve: AND NOW HARPER IS STARTING TO REPEATEDLY STOMP KELTON’S KNEE!
(Some of the crowd cringe in response as Kelton is right now suffering completely without being to barely able to defend himself, Harper is not even stomping out of anger or genuine annoyance, she is actually trying to completely break his knee in a way that he can feel as much pain as possible, those stomps and attacks are too precise from it to be someone that simply wants to win this match.)
(Harper wants to make sure Kelton is not able to walk again.)
Eve: I am not even sure if we should see this! Harper is even switching from stomping to actually putting genuine pressure on the sides of Kelton’s knee!
Deadprez: It is not looking good for Kelton at all! This whole scene is making Harper look like a straight up psychopath! She is even laughing to herself as she is even lifting up Kelton’s leg and then kneeing the hell out of it to the side!
Eve: Finally, Harper gets a good hold of Kelton’s leg and then turns over, going to end up locking a Figure Four Lock-
Deadprez: BUT KELTON IS ABLE TO USE HIS HEALTHY LEG TO PUSH HARPER AWAY! AND THAT SMALL GLANCE OF HOPE IS ABLE TO MAKE THE CROWD REACT!
(But it quickly dissipates as Kelton falls down hard and then tries to roll away from Harper, trying to move towards the ropes and to somehow… SOMEHOW… grab them in some way and try to get himself up. Harper simply rolls her eyes in response as she casually walks towards Kelton, wincing a bit as she walks while still feeling the pain in her back.)
Harper Lee: (off-mic) Look at you basically begging to get out of the match and find a way to get yourself out of here. You are pathetic, you know?
Eve: HARPER TURNS OVER AND THEN ENDS UP HITTING KELTON RIGHT ON THE SIDE OF HIS BODY! RIGHT AROUND HIS RIBS!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Harper Lee: (off-mic) Come on, do something.
(Kelton felt exhaustion starting to get to him, he felt pain all over his body get to him now as the weight of his seemingly useless attempt at another world championship shot dawns on him, he figuratively, and quite literally, can’t continue to walk. But… he starts pushing forward, crawling even, trying to get to the ropes.)
Deadprez: HARPER YET AGAIN ENDS UP KICKING KELTON RIGHT ON THE RIBS! HARPER IS LIFTING HER FOOT AND STOMPING IN EVERY PART OF KELTON’S BODY THAT SHE CAN SEE!
Eve: But Kelton continues to push himself forward, continuing to crawl despite all of the pain that he is feeling all over! He knows that there is still a chance to win, no matter how miniscule it is, that has been his thoughts since the first day that he has come back to EAW! No matter how small the possibility of winning, he continues trying! He continues fighting!
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER STARTS YET AGAIN STOMPING ON HIS DAMAGED KNEE! TRYING TO STOP HIM AND NOT LETTING HIM HAVE A CHANCE OF GETTING TO THE ROPES!
Harper Lee: (off-mic) I do have to admit, at least morons on the internet will call this match “cInEmA” despite you losing! All because you continue to fight! All because you continue to waste my time! It will simply make my victory better!
(The words trying to reach him like little daggers stabbing in every side, the tiredness and near limited patience that he has to this, and the literal pain, they all tire him out…)
Crowd: KELTON! KELTON! KELTON! KELTON! KELTON! KELTON! KELTON!
(But it is the people around him that let him continue.)
Eve: KELTON…
Deadprez: FINALLY REACHES THE ROPES! HE STARTS GRABBING THEM TIGHTLY AND THEN HE STARTS CLIMBING THEM DESPITE EVERYTHING! DESPITE THE LOSSES! DESPITE THE FRUSTRATION! DESPITE THE ABSOLUTELY DESPERATION!
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT SHE STOPS STOMPING AND THEN SHE STARTS THROWING STRIKES AT KELTON’S BACK, DOING EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO NOT LET KELTON PROVE TO HER HE WON’T STAY DOWN!
(***SMACK!***)
Deadprez: KELTON FINALLY TURNS OVER AND THEN SLAPS THE HELL OUT OF HARPER’S FACE! THE CROWD STARTS CHEERING ONCE MORE AS KELTON IS BEING ABLE TO WALK ON HIS HEALTHY LEG!
Gavin Kirkland: HE’S HOPPING ON HIS GOOD LEG!
Eve: AND HE DOES NOT STOP! HE STARTS THROWING STRIKES! UPPERCUTS! HE IS MAKING SURE TO PUSH WITH EVERYTHING NOW THAT HE HAS HIS CHANCE! HE KNOWS HE HAS BARELY NOTHING LEFT! BUT HE IS TRYING NO MATTER WHAT!
Deadprez: FINALLY, KELTON RISES A FIST AND THEN TRIES TO-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT HARPER SIMPLY KICKS HIS GOOD LEG AND JUST LIKE THAT, KELTON FALLS YET AGAIN TO HIS KNEES! AND THE CROWD BOOS LOUDLY IN RESPONSE!
Harper Lee: (off-mic) What the heck kind of match do you think this is?! Some ending from an anime? Not on my ring-
Eve: “GALICK GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!”
Deadprez: BAAAANNGGGG! KELTON SPRINGS TO LIFE AND THEN SUPERKICKS HARPER RIGHT ON THE JAW! HARPER FALLS HARD TO THE MAT!
Eve: KELTON FALLS AS WELL GRABBING ONTO HIS HURT KNEE AND THEN SCREAMING THROUGH HIS TEETH! HE USED HIS HURT LEG TO KICK HARPER AND THEN TAKE HER DOWN! IT MIGHT NOT HAVE HAD AS MUCH FORCE AS EXPECTED, BUT HE STILL ROLLS OVER AND THEN GOES TO PIN HER!
Deadprez: THE REFEREE FALLS FOR THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(…)
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
(…)
(…)
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! HARPER KICKS OUT JUST AT 2.99 AND KELTON’S HOPE FOR A MOMENT COMPLETELY LEAVES HIS BODY!
(That feeling of desperation completely overtakes him for a few seconds, but he looks around the people in the crowd, cheering, actually behind him after so many years… he felt re-charged again.)
Eve: AND JUST LIKE THAT, KELTON’S DETERMINATION COMES BACK TO HIM AND THIS TIME! HE PUSHES HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET DESPITE THE PAIN IN HIS LEG! HE’S STILL NOT DONE!
Deadprez: I THINK THAT ADRENALINE RUSH IS FINALLY HITTING FOR KELTON! HE GOES TOWARDS THE DOWNED HARPER AND THEN TRIES TO PICK HER UP, GRABBING ONTO HER AND THEN TRYING TO-
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER SUDDENLY PUSHES HIM AWAY!
Eve: THE “LONELY STAR!!!”
Deadprez: KELTON IS ABLE TO FALL BACK AND AVOID THE KNEE JUST IN TIME, GRABBING ONTO HARPER’S WRIST JUST AS SHE RUSHES TO HIS SIDE, TRYING TO PULL HER TOWARDS HIM AND THEN GRAB HER, TRYING TO GO FOR THE FUTURE SHOCK DDT! “CHANGE THE FUTURE-”
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER PULLS HER ARMS DOWN AND THEN KNEES KELTON IN THE GUT AND THEN SMACKS HIM ON THE FACE!
Deadprez: KELTON STUMBLES AND THEN FALLS BACK TOWARDS THE ROPES TO GRAB ONTO THEM, AS HE TURNS AROUND-
Eve: **THE “LONELY STAR”!!!**
Deadprez: KELTON DROPS DOWN TO THE GROUND AND ROLLS BACK, AS HARPER ENDS UP KNEEING THE ROPES AND ALMOST TANGLES HERSELF ON THEM!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT GIVES MR. REDEMPTION THE CHANCE TO ROLL BACKWARDS UP TO HIS FEET, AND JUST AS HARPER TURNS AROUND, HE JUMPS UP TOWARDS HER AND THEN TRIES TO LOCK IN THE “GOD PUNISHER!”
Deadprez: KELTON GETS NOTHING! HARPER GRABS ONTO THE ROPES BEFORE HE CAN PULL HER DOWN AND KELTON FALLS DOWN HARD! HE TRIES HIS BEST TO RECOVER AND THEN ROLL UPWARDS-
Eve: ***THE “LONELY STAR”!!!***
Gavin Kirkland: IS SHE JUST SPAMMING HER FINISHER????????
Deadprez: THAT TACTIC WON’T TAKE KELTON DOWN THOUGH! AS HE GRABS HER THIS TIME AND THEN POPS HER UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS, AS HE SUDDENLY TURNS OVER AND THEN HITS A MODIFIED POWERBOMB!
Eve: HARPER LANDS HARD AND SHE SCREAMS INTO THE AIR, AS SHE GETS REMINDED OF THE PAIN FROM HER BACK AND HOW MORTAL SHE TRULY IS! KELTON FINALLY HAS HIS OPPORTUNITY AND THEN BACKS AWAY, USING ALL THE STRENGTH THAT HE HAS TO GET UP!
Gavin Kirkland: ALMOST ALL OF THE CROWD ARE ON THEIR FEET AS KELTON IS READYING HIMSELF! HARPER IS TRYING TO GET UP ONCE MORE… AND KELTON RUNS FORWARD!
Deadprez: THE “FINAL ATONEMEEEEEEEEEEENNNTTTTTTT!!!”
Eve: ## THE “LONELY STAR”!!!!
(The crowd completely goes silent.)
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER KICKED KELTON’S HEAD RIGHT OFF WITH THAT KNEE!
Deadprez: HARPER HAS A SMILE FROM EAR TO EAR AS SHE KNOWS SHE HAS WON THE MATCH, AS SHE SLOWLY MOVES OVER AND THEN COVERS JON KELTON!
Eve: …the referee falls for the cover.
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(…)
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
(…)
(…)
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(…)
(…)
(…)
(And then the crowd comes back alive.)
Eve: KELTON REACHES AND WITH ONE FINGER, HE TOUCHES THE ROPES JUST BEFORE THE THREE COUNT! DESPITE HARPER HITTING KELTON WITH ONE OF HER STRONGEST MOVES, KELTON STILL FOUND A WAY TO STAY ALIVE!
Deadprez: WHATEVER YOU SAY RIGHT NOW, THE WORK OF THE CHOSEN ONE, THE WORK OF THE DEVIL, NAH! THIS IS THE WORK OF JON KELTON HIMSELF!
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER’S CONFIDENCE COMPLETELY CRUMBLED AT THAT MOMENT! HER EYES ARE WIDENED IN ABSOLUTE SHOCK AT WHAT SHE JUST SAW! SHE KNOWS THAT AT THAT MOMENT, THE WORLD IS AGAINST HER!
(Harper backs away from Kelton slowly, the scene before her a complete shock to the system. She sits in the middle of the ring, trying to process all of this as her shock quickly turns to anger and then she starts slamming the ring angrily with her fists. She even lets out a scream of pure anger and pain from that one.)
(But at that moment, she feels something grab her hand… or someone. She turns slowly and she sees Kelton grabbing onto her hand, looking towards her with an expression full… of peace.)
Jon Kelton: (off-mic) You start to wonder now… huh? Only thing I want to tell you… that wanting too much… is going to completely tear you apart.
(Harper’s expression softens for a moment as she hears those words…)
(But it quickly hardens as she slaps Kelton’s hand and then drags herself away from him.)
Harper Lee: (off-mic) Nothing is too much. No matter how noble or selfless someone is. Everyone desires something they don’t have. Even you.
Jon Kelton: (off-mic) …then why do you have nothing?
Harper Lee: (off-mic) …
Gavin Kirkland: What… are they going to do?
(It seems that without any words, the two opponents seemingly got to the same conclusion to do now. Harper readies herself and then glares daggers at Kelton in her corner. Kelton pushes through the pain in his leg and gets up. It was time to settle this all here and now. The two were tired, they were broken, they might as well finish this off the right way.)
Eve: …they are going to clash.
Deadprez: Oh boy, HERE WE GO!
Crowd: KELTON! KELTON! KELTON! KELTON! KELTON! KELTON!
Eve: WITH THE WORLD BEHIND HIS BACK, KELTON GETS READY! WITH THE WORLD AGAINST HER, HARPER GETS READY! THE MATCH WILL END HERE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER! WHO WILL SUCCEED?!
Gavin Kirkland: WE ARE GOING TO FIND OUT NOW!
(…)
Deadprez: JON KELTON RUNS FORWARD!
Eve: HARPER LEE RUNS FORWARD!
Deadprez: KELTON LEAPS!
Eve: HARPER LEAPS!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Deadprez: KELTON’S LEG ENDS UP GIVING OUT ON HIM!
Eve: # THE “LONELY STAR”!!!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER’S BACK ENDS UP GIVING OUT ON HER!!!!!!
Deadprez: # THE “FINAL ATONEMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNTTTTTTTT”!!!
Eve: KELTON SPRINGS UP AT THE LAST SECOND AND HE HITS THE SPEAR! THE SPEAR HAS BEEN HIT DESPITE ALL ODDS! THE CROWD EXPLODES INTO CHEERS AS KELTON EXHAUSTEDLY FALLS ONTO HARPER FOR THE COVER!
Deadprez: KELTON’S DOUBTS ARE OVERCOME TONIGHT!
Gavin Kirkland: THE REFEREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(…)
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
(…)
(…)
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(…)
(…)
(…)
(The silence is deafening.)
(…)
(Come on!.)
(…)
(…)
Donovan Duke: (off-mic) Good night, Jon Kelton.
Deadprez: THE DAMN FREAKING DEVIL! DONOVAN JUST PULLED THE REFEREE OUT OF THE RING AND THEN KNOCKED HIM OUT! WHAT THE HELL?!
Eve: KELTON LITERALLY HAD THE MATCH WON! WHAT KIND OF INJUSTICE IS THIS?!
Gavin Kirkland: IT IS DONOVAN DUKE’S! A GIGANTIC GRIN IS ON HIS FACE WHILE KELTON TURNS IN CONFUSION AND HOPELESSNESS! DONOVAN GOES TO JUMP ONTO THE RING APRON AND THEN ENTER-
(Before that moment, “My War” hits on the speakers. And Donovan looks like he just saw a ghost.)
Eve: BRONSON SPRINTS DOWN THE RAMP WITH A MISSION ALONG THE SUPPORT OF THE CROWD! TO SAVE HIS TAG TEAM PARTNER AND HELP HIM OVERCOME HIS DOUBTS!
Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN GETS OFF THE RING AND THEN TURNS TOWARDS THE ENTRANCE RAMP!
Deadprez: BUT BRONSON JUMPS ONTO THE STEEL STEPS AND THEN LEAPS OVER, TACKLING DOWN DONOVAN DUKE AND THEN THROWING STRIKES ALL OVER HIM!
Eve: DONOVAN TRIES TO GET AWAY AS FAST AS HE CAN, BRONSON GRABBING ONTO HIS HEAD AND THEN THROWING HIM OVER THE BARRICADE, LEAPING OVER HIMSELF AND THEN GOING TO FIGHT HIM ACROSS THE CROWD!
Deadprez: BRONSON’S HELP BROUGHT KELTON’S DETERMINATION BACK AS HE IS PUSHING HIMSELF UP YET AGAIN, TRYING TO GET SOME DISTANCE HERE! KELTON IS BY THIS POINT RUNNING ON HOPES AND DREAMS AS HE HAS HARPER SCOUTED OUT ONCE MORE!
Gavin Kirkland: KELTON RUNS YET AGAIN!
Eve: THE “FINAL ATONEMEEEEENNNTTTTTT!!!”
Gavin Kirkland: CURB STOOOOOMPPPPPPPPPP!
Eve: What?
Deadprez: What????????
Gavin Kirkland: A MASKED PERSON! THE MASKED PERSON THAT ATTACKED CHARLIE MARR! THEY JUST CURB STOMPED KELTON’S HEAD STRAIGHT INTO THE GROUND AND STOPPED HIM FROM HITTING THE SPEAR!
Eve: NOT LIKE THIS!!!
Deadprez: THE MASKED PERSON SCURRIES OUT OF THE RING, GRABBING THE KNOCKED DOWN REFEREE AND THEN THROWING THEM INSIDE! AS THEN THEY RUN OUT OF THERE LEAPING OVER THE BARRICADE AND THROUGH THE CROWD IN THE OTHER SIDE!
Eve: THERE IS NO WAY!
Deadprez: HARPER SEES THE WIN SERVED TO HER ON A SILVER PLATTER, AND ALL OF HER UNDESERVED CONFIDENCE COMES BACK TO HER. SHE STUMBLES TOWARDS THE DOWNED KELTON… GRABS ONTO HIS ARMS… Oh, hell nah.
Harper Lee: (off-mic) I win.
Gavin Kirkland: “SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR!!!!” YOU CAN COUNT TO ONE THOUSAND WITH THAT ONE! HARPER TURNS AND THEN DROPS DOWN ONTO KELTON JUST AS THE REFEREE FINALLY COMES ALIVE!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…
Gavin Kirkland: KELTON’S…
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…
Gavin Kirkland: DOUBTS…
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…
Gavin Kirkland: WON’T BE OVERCOME THIS TIME!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Sweet Dreams” by Eurythmics plays on the speakers and the crowd responds incredibly negative and hostile, barely anybody can think with how loud the inside of that arena is right now. But all Harper could do was let out a smile full of joy and complete satisfaction.)
Gina Romano: YOUR WINNER, AND THE NEW NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, HARPEEEEEEEEEEEERRRR LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: I don’t really think I can be un-bias after seeing that one.
Deadprez: Pfft, me neither.
Gavin Kirkland: Uh… congratulations to Harper Lee, right? Woooo, let’s give her the flowers that she deserves! That is my Star, for real!
Eve: Every superstar in EAW fails, they fall, and then they learn, Jon Kelton has learned that than most people by this point, he has learned, he has fell, he won, he lost, he has gone through what every other wrestler has gone through, he lost so many countless of times before because he was not good enough… and tonight was none of those nights. Not at all.
Deadprez: All respect to Harper Lee, sure, we can always give her that, but the fact that this kind of crap can happen and then later she will act like the Answers World Champion and then some random ass hobo that has injured someone didn’t appear? That is why people right now here in this arena and all around are acting like this.
Gavin Kirkland: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THAT’S MY SOCCER MOM, I LOVE YOUUUUUU!!!
Eve: I am sorry to everyone that is watching if you are feeling like you were robbed, a lot of people here are also feeling like that, the best that I can tell you is… that we hope things can get better.
(Harper does not even let the tired referee raise her hand, she goes to roll out of the ring, and even though she stumbles and then falls to the ground due to her damaged back, she is laughing and raising her arms to the side in complete elation. She won, after all.)
(The camera turns one last time towards the knocked out Jon Kelton, that despite his best attempts to yet again get the chance to become the World Champion, it was completely useless, but despite it all, he is still alive. The camera focuses on the shot of a knocked down Harper and Kelton before it slowly fades away…)
(Moments later, as the camera pans around the Soldier Field, the next match graphic plays on the screen…)
(https://i.ibb.co/d0br57y/Four-Way-EAWCContender.png)
(The crowd erupts, as we pan to Bella Braxton, ready to announce.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen… the following contest is a FOUR WAY MATCH… and the winner will be declared the NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Yet another cheer follows, only to grow louder; ‘I Wish A Bitch Would’ by Delilah Bon bleeds through the speaker system, as the graphics on the stage display Cameron Ella Ava’s name. Walking through the curtains, Cameron struts onto the stage. Twirling in view of the camera, she begins to strut down the ramp, tearing her jacket from her shoulders to reveal her in-ring attire, The Matriarch making her way down to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST… HAILING FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA… SHE IS ‘THE MATRIARCH’… CAMEROOOOOONN ELLAAAAAAAAA AVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
(Cameron slides onto the ring apron, posing for the hardcam, before flipping backwards over the top rope. She raises a finger to the sky, a confident smirk falling upon her face, as she’s ready to become the Number One Contender. Her theme song would soon fade out, only to be replaced by ‘Kamikaze’ by Red Hook. Immediately, the cheers that were ringing through the arena moments prior fade into extremely loud boos. The camera pans back towards the stage, as Daryl Kinkade appears on the stage. Fitted in a fluffy-collared jacket, he throws up crowns, before making his way down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: NEXT… HAILING FROM NORWICH, ENGLAND… HE IS ‘THE KINK OF ELITE…’ ‘THE VISCOUNT OF VOLTAGE’… DARRYYYYYYYLLLLL KIIIIIIINKAAAAAAAAAAAADEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
(Daryl makes his way up the steel steps, before entering the ring, and climbing the turnbuckles. Throwing up the crowns once more, he snarls, supremely confident in his ability to finally make his way towards World Championship gold. His theme song fades out.)
(Seconds later, ‘Everybody Knows (Unstoppable)’ by Royal Deluxe begins to blare through the speaker system, as the crowd once more erupts. Slowly walking out onto the stage, a leather jacket coating his torso, Adam Lucas throws up his arm as fireballs shoot out from behind him. He marches down the ramp, looking to head into war once more, a desperate climb back to the top that has been a year in the making, ever since last year’s King of Elite, he looks to finish tonight.)
Bella Braxton: HAILING FROM NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK… HE IS ‘THE NEXT LEVEL’… HE IS ‘UNSTOPPABLE’… HE IS… ADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM LUUUUUUUUUUUUCAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
(Adam leaps onto the apron, throwing up his pose once more. He stares down the hardcam, before entering the ring. Posing once more, he removes his jacket, as everybody awaits the last entrant in the match…)
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(… ‘Win’ by Jay Rock hits.)
(With a devilish smirk on his face, the former EAW World Champion Jake Smith walks out through the curtains with his hands extended to his side. The boos only grow even louder, as Jake Smith basks in it, the reaction something he completely enjoys. He pops his collar at the top of the stage, staring down into the ring, as the lights of the stadium focus completely on him. The two-time World Champion and EAW Hall of Famer makes his way down to the ring, looking to get a chance to reclaim what he believes should still be his.)
Bella Braxton: LASTLY… HAILING FROM ATHERTON, CALIFORNIA… HE IS ‘THE PROCESS’… HE IS ‘SATAN’S GREATEST SOLDIER’… HE IS ‘THE GOAT’…
Persephone: :usure:
Bella Braxton: JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
(Jake Smith bounces onto the apron, as he signals for a Champoionship around his waist. Raising a finger, he raises his head, the smirk never fading, before he enters the ring. He parades in circles, mocking his opponents with his hands extended, getting in their faces. His theme song then fades out, as he makes his way to his corner, and removes his jacket.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Our match is underway here; Adam Lucas, Cameron Ella Ava, Daryl Kinkade and our former EAW World Champion Jake Smith are now squaring off against one another in the center of this ring, they’re all fighting for that very same opportunity, an opportunity that could very well result in the biggest victory of their careers! Another World Championship in the long resume of Cameron Ella Ava, a second for Adam Lucas, a third for Jake Smith and a first for Daryl Kinkade, tonight marks the goal post for the halfway line in their journey to gold!
Rich Russillo: Emphasis, however, on that word “halfway.” It speaks volumes that all four of these competitors are squaring off against one another just for a CHANCE, that’s how much the EAW World Championship means to these individuals! That’s what puts the “top” in the term “top prize;” they’re fighting for something that puts each and every single eye in the world on you. The problem is… only ONE of them can come out on top!
James Peters: Only one, and we’re about to find out who that “one” is! Our competitors rush forward as they begin to brawl!
Rich Russillo: Cameron Ella Ava slides past Daryl Kinkade, and pushes him into Adam Lucas, who swiftly connects with a punch directly to Daryl’s head! Daryl stumbles backwards, before meeting a forearm from Cameron!
James Peters: Daryl is playing a dangerous game of piggy in the middle right here, Adam and Cameron both bat him back and forth! Punch, forearm, punch, forearm, they’re beating him down here!
Rich Russillo: But Daryl is able to catch a punch from Adam Lucas! He fires one back at Adam, before turning around, connecting with a huge punch to Cameron Ella Ava, making her stumble back!
James Peters: Daryl now, he runs the ropes, and looks to connect with a HUGE hurricanrana on both Cameron and Adam Lucas, sending them crashing to the ground!
Rich Russillo: AND IT CONNECTS! He takes out the two former World Champions, as he recovers to his feet! Rolling Cameron into the corner, he begins to stomp down on her chest, over and over and over; he’s trying to wear her down as much as he can!
James Peters: Adam Lucas isn’t going to give up though! Adam rushes over and grabs Daryl by the shoulder, and spins him around! Adam looks to lay into him-
Rich Russillo: But Daryl Kinkade fights back! Punches to the head over and over, sending him closer and closer to the center of the ring! Now, Daryl looks to Irish Whip Adam into the ropes…
James Peters: But Adam has the wherewithal to hook his arms over the top rope! Daryl charges forward… before meeting a boot to the jaw!
James Peters: Daryl stumbles back, and in comes Adam Lucas once more…
Rich Russillo: ‘GENESIS’ SUPERMAN PUNCH-
James Peters: SUPERKICK! DARYL LOOKS TO PLACE ADAM LUCAS IN THE PUMPHANDLE POSITION… ‘HEIL TO THE VICTOR’!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT CAMERON ELLA AVA BREAKS IT UP! ‘WONDER WOMAN PUNCH’!!!!!
James Peters: BUT IN THE NICK OF TIME, DARYL SHOVES ADAM STRAIGHT INTO CAMERON! CAMERON STUMBLES BACK, AND NOW DARYL GOES FOR THE ROLL UP!
ONNNNNN-
Rich Russillo: BUT ADAM BREAKS IT UP, A ROLL UP OF HIS OWN!
ONNNNN-
James Peters: NOW CAMERON BREAKS IT UP! A ROLL UP OF HER OWN!
ONNNNNN-
Rich Russillo: THAT TOO IS BROKEN UP! ALL THREE COMPETITORS GET BACK UP TO THEIR FEET…
James Peters: CAMERON DUCKS A LARIAT FROM DARYL AS SHE HITS THE ROPES… SPRINGBOARD ROUNDHOUSE KICK TAKES HIM DOWN!!!
Rich Russillo: LOOK OUT FROM BEHIND THOUGH! DISCUS PUNCH FROM ADAM LUCAS! NOW SHE’S DOWN!
James Peters: THIS MATCH IS STARTING OFF WITH SOME PACE, BUT-
Rich Russillo:…Where the hell is Jake??????????????
(The camera then pans to the outside of the ring…)
Jake Smith: https://media1.tenor.com/m/yaQMqVkU_T4AAAAC/roman-reigns-texting.gif
Adam Lucas: :comeagain:
James Peters: What is…
Rich Russillo: GENIUS! Jake Smith is letting them fight it out, our former World Champion has the IQ of a superstar!
Adam Lucas: (off-mic) What the fuck do you think you’re doing?
Jake Smith: (off-mic) Hm? What’s up? 😀
Adam Lucas: (off-mic) Is this not serious enough for you? Get in here before I make you.
Jake Smith: (off-mic) Relax… just texting your whore of a wife is all. 😊
Adam Lucas: (off-mic) You little fucking…
James Peters: OH NO, JAKE SMITH EVIDENTLY HAS PISSED ADAM LUCAS OFF! ADAM SLIDES OUT OF THE RING, LOOKING TO CATCH JAKE, BUT JAKE IMMEDIATELY SLIDES BACK INSIDE!
Rich Russillo: ADAM LUCAS CLIMBS ONTO THE APRON AND LOOKS TO FOLLOW HIM-
Persephone: HA! Jake Smith just kicked the ropes, causing them to bounce right between Adam’s legs! Maybe Bethany really will need Jake now after all!
James Peters: AND JAKE NOW, IMMEDIATELY WITH THE ROLL UP HIMSELF!
OOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT DARYL KINKADE IS HERE! HE GRABS JAKE AND PULLS HIM OFF-
James Peters: SUPERKICK FROM JAKE SMITH! SUPERKICK TAKES DARYL KINKADE DOWN!
Rich Russillo: CAMERON ELLA AVA SLIDES BACK INTO THE BATTLE-
James Peters: BUT SHE MEETS A SUPERKICK TOO! CAMERON IS DOWN! JAKE SMITH LOOKS TO CAPITALISE-
Rich Russillo: BUCKSHOTTTTTT LARIAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: SUPERKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!!!!!!!!!! JAKE SMITH TAKES HIM DOWN! INTO THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTW-
Rich Russillo: ADAM LUCAS WITH THE KICK OUT!
James Peters: But now Jake Smith, he’s not settling for a kickout here! He scurries over to Cameron, covering HER body!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWW-
Rich Russillo: ANOTHER KICK OUT!
James Peters: Lastly, Jake now covers Daryl, hoping THIS is the difference maker!!!!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWW-
James Peters: A third kickout! Jake Smith isn’t gonna win one this easily!
Rich Russillo: Jake Smith was hoping that he could watch his three competitors tear one another apart, however now, it seems as if he has to get his hands dirty! Plan A didn’t pan out well, I wonder what Plan B must be for the self-proclaimed, perhaps justified in that very claim, smartest man in wrestling!
James Peters: Jake Smith boots Cameron out of the ring, before grabbing Adam Lucas by his hair, and dragging him out alongside her! The outside is a dangerous place to be for any competitor however Jake Smith might just know how to be the most effective out here!
Rich Russillo: Jake grabs Cameron by the wrist, before driving her quickly into the barricade! A short run and a sudden stop, she goes stomach-first into the barricade… BUT HE ISN’T DONE HERE!
James Peters: JAKE SMITH GRABS HER BY THE WRIST, AND RUNNING AS FAST AS HE CAN, THROWS HER STRAIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE! RUNNING FROM ONE CORNER POST TO THE OTHER, HE THROWS HER INTO THE GUARD RAIL!
Rich Russillo: AND HE LEAVES HER HANGING THERE, AS HE GOES TO GRAB ADAM LUCAS! ONCE AGAIN, DOING IT AT TOP SPEED… HE RUNS AS FAST AS HIS LEGS WILL CARRY HIM, THROWING ADAM LUCAS STRAIGHT INTO CAMERON ELLA AVA!!!!! THE TWO TOPPLE OVER INTO THE CROWD!
James Peters: Jake dusts his hands off, as he turns his attention back to Daryl!
Rich Russillo: Perhaps now he looks to go for the victory-
James Peters: BUT DARYL KINKADE………….. SASUKEEEEEEEE SPECIAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: THE CARTWHEEL AND THE MOONSAULT, HE TAKES JAKE SMITH TO THE GROUND! DARYL WIPES OUT HIS OPPONENT AS THE MOMENTUM IS ONCE AGAIN HIS FOR THIS BOUT!
James Peters: LIFTING JAKE SMITH UP, DARYL IS AIMING TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF HIS SURROUNDINGS! DARYL RUNS TO THE BARRICADE BEFORE LEAPING ON TOP OF IT… HE DIVES OFF…
Rich Russillo: ‘MONKE FLIPPPPP’!!!!!!! THE FRONT FLIP DDT ON THE OUTSIDE SPIKES JAKE SMITH ON THE DOME OF HIS HEAD!!!!!!!!
James Peters: JAKE SMITH HAS BEEN LAID OUT, AND NOW DARYL IS IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF THIS MATCHUP! DARYL GRABS JAKE SMITH, THROWING HIM BACK INTO THE RING, CLIMBING UP TO THE TOP ROPE!
Rich Russillo: DARYL KINKADE IS A VICTORY SEEKER RIGHT HERE, CLIMBING TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, WITH JAKE SMITH IN HIS SIGHTS! HE STANDS TALL… SHOOTING STAR PRESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: AND IT CONNECTS! DARYL KINKADE CONNECTS WITH THE SHOOTING STAR! A HOOK OF THE LEG!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: A KICK OUT FROM JAKE SMITH! It’s gonna take a LOT MORE to take out a former EAW World Champion! Daryl Kinkade hasn’t dug deep into his bag of tricks just yet though!
James Peters: Daryl has much more to offer here, grabbing Jake by the head and lifting him up! He connects with a forearm, causing Jake to stumble backwards, and here he goes looking to follow it up… AGAIN, LOOKING FOR ‘HEIL TO THE VICTOR’-
Rich Russillo: BUT HERE COMES CAMERON ELLA AVA! ‘AVACADABRA’!!!!! THE SHINING WIZARD STRAIGHT TO DARYL KINKADE!!!!
James Peters: NOW HERE SHE IS, LOOKING TO TAKE JAKE SMITH OUT HERSELF! GRABBING HIM BY THE HAIR AND LIFTING HIM UP STRAIGHT, SHE PLACES HIM IN A FRONT FACELOCK…
Rich Russillo: FALCON ARROW! FALCON ARROW TO JAKE SMITH!!!!!! INTO THE COVER DIRECTLY!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Rich Russillo: ANOTHER KICKOUT FROM JAKE SMITH! JAKE POWERS THE SHOULDER UP! EVEN A LEGEND IN CAMERON ELLA AVA ISN’T GOING TO TAKE JAKE SMITH DOWN!
James Peters: Cameron Ella Ava was one count away from the victory, however Jake Smith with the confident kickout hurtles any chance of suspense out the window! Despite being a two, Jake Smith doesn’t look done just yet!
Rich Russillo: But to make sure he IS done, Cameron Ella Ava is now throwing Daryl out of the ring! She’s leaving it between just her and him, hopefully looking to pick up this victory here!
James Peters; Cameron scurries back over to Jake, grabbing him by the head… PUTTING HIM IN A FAMILIAR POSITION!
Rich Russillo: CAMERON LOOKING FOR THE ‘SNAPBACK’-
James Peters: FLYING FOREARM! ADAM LUCAS WITH THE FLYING FOREARM TO CAMERON ELLA AVA, SENDS HER AND JAKE CRASHING TO THE FLOOR!
Rich Russillo: HE’S NOW LOOKING TO PICK UP THE PIECES! HE GRABS JAKE, LIFTING HIM OFF HIS FEET….
James Peters: DEADLIFT LIGER BOMBBBBBBBBBBBB!!!!!!! DIRECTLY INTO THE COVER!!!!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: JAKE THROWS HIS SHOULDER OFF THE MAT!
James Peters: Jake Smith is staying alive in this match, despite the offense his opponents are throwing at him! Though, in spite of this resilience, Adam Lucas is NOT backing down!
Rich Russillo: Adam slides out onto the apron, looking for that Buckshot Lariat, pumping himself up and shaking the ropes; calling Jake Smith up to his feet!
James Peters: Adam Lucas is looking to put a close to this match right here, he’s calling Jake up, looking for that Buckshot…
Rich Russillo: Aaaany second now….
James Peters: Hang on… is… is Jake rolling AWAY from the ropes???
Rich Russillo: HE IS! Jake Smith is rolling towards the complete opposite side of the ring!!!!
James Peters: Adam Lucas wipes his brow, he’s evidently sick of Jake Smith, and he’s not going to play these games! Adam enters the ring, and follows Jake, going to the apron once more! Again, he calls for the Buckshot Lariat!
Rich Russillo:… AND AGAIN, JAKE BEGINS TO ROLL TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING!
Adam Lucas: (off-mic) You gotta be fucking kidding me.
Rich Russillo: Adam Lucas isn’t letting him get away with this though, as he walks across the apron to the opposite side of the ring, meeting Jake Smith! Grabbing onto his hair, he lifts him up, and swats him towards the center of the ring… AND NOW IT’S TIME…
James Peters: BUCKSHOOOOOOT-
Rich Russillo: BUT JAKE STUMBLES FORWARD… BACK TOWARDS ADAM!
James Peters: Before Adam can take off, Jake stumbles towards the ropes! Adam Lucas swats him away AGAIN…
Rich Russillo: BEFORE GOING FOR THE BUCKSHOT-
James Peters: AGAIN, FOR CHRIST’S SAKE! JAKE STUMBLES BACK TOWARDS ADAM!
Rich Russillo: AND ADAM LUCAS IS HAVING NONE OF IT! ADAM’S PATIENCE IS BEING TESTED, AND HE VIOLENTLY FOREARMS JAKE SMITH IN THE HEAD OVER, AND OVER, AND OVER! ADAM LUCAS IS CLEARLY GETTING UPSET HERE!
James Peters: BUT JAKE IS IN PRIME POSITION NOW! ADAM LUCAS FLIPS OVER THE ROPES… BUCKSHOT LARIAT!!!!
Rich Russillo: NO! JAKE DUCKS! PROPHETIC! PROPHETIC! PROPHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE ROLLING CUTTER CONNECTSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
James Peters: WHAT A COUNTER! JAKE SMITH HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-
Rich Russillo: A KICK OUT FROM ADAM!
James Peters: Jake Smith got him hook, line and sinker; he threw him off his game before connecting immediately with one of the biggest moves in his arsenal! Adam Lucas is understanding what type of game he’s here to play, if he’s not being taken out by the rest of the competitors while Jake Smith watches, he’s playing Jake Smith’s game! Evidently momentum doesn’t matter when Jake Smith is the one controlling whether or not it’s in his favour. :lupe:
Rich Russillo: Jake Smith’s ability to simultaneously halt Adam Lucas’ momentum, while allowing him to believe he still had it, is exactly how he was Champion for as long as he was! He was able to capitalise countless times throughout his reign on weaknesses such as that, and this time, it’s something Adam Lucas has to look out for even more! We already saw him counter that Buckshot Lariat with a low blow, this time, he did it even more meticulously!
James Peters: Adam Lucas is in a lot of trouble as we speak; Jake Smith isn’t too happy about that kick out, as he grabs Adam by the hair! He places him in position for the “Prophetic” again!
Rich Russillo: But a knee to the head from Adam Lucas sends Jake stumbling back into the ropes! Dazed and confused, Adam tries to return to his feet-
James Peters: STARMAKER! !!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: DENIED! Adam Lucas throws him into the ropes-
Rich Russillo & James Peters: ‘LEVEL UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: BUT JAKE LEAPFROGS THE POP-UP-POWERBOMB! Landing on his feet in the middle of the ring, he connects with a superkick to the back of Adam Lucas’ head!
Rich Russillo: Adam Lucas stumbles into the ropes…
James Peters: BUT CONNECTS WITH A REBOUND LARIAT!!!!!!!! BOTH HE AND JAKE ARE DOWN AND OUT!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT IF YOU THOUGHT THE ACTION STOPPED THERE, HERE COMES BOTH CAMERON AND DARYL! DARYL SCURRIES OVER FOR THE COVER-
James Peters: BUT CAMERON GRABS THE LEG AND PULLS HIM OFF! THESE TWO HAVE HISTORY OF THEIR OWN, COMPETING FOR THE HARDCORE TITLE, NOW COULD WE SEE THE SAME RESULT HAPPEN HERE AS CAMERON LOOKS FOR ‘MATRIARCH RISING’!!!!!
Rich Russillo: DARYL SWEEPS THE LEG! HE SCURRIES TO HIS FEET AND LOOKS TO LOCK IN ‘SHUT UP, BRUV’-
James Peters: BUT CAMERON SLIDES OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID THE CROSSFACE! ROLL UP FROM CAMERON!!!!!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: DARYL ESCAPES, THE TWO RETURN TO THEIR FEET!
James Peters: AND DARYL QUICKLY HOOKS HER LEG! ‘A BEAUTIFUL LIE’!!!!!!!!!! THE CROSS-LEGGED FISHERMANS BUSTER!!!!!
Rich Russillo: CAMERON LANDS ON HER FEET!!! ‘NO BODY, NO CRIME’!!!!!
James Peters: DARYL LANDS ON HIS OWN FEET! DARYL QUICKLY PUSHES HER INTO THE ROPES…. BUT CAMERON WITH A LARIAT!
James Peters: DENIED! DARYL HOOKS THE ARM AND FLIPS INTO THE POWERBOMB POSITION! HE LIFTS HER UP… SIT-OUT POWERBOMB!!!! COVER!
OOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Rich Russillo: KICK OUT FROM CAMERON ELLA AVA, BUT DARYL KINKADE DOESN’T LET GO! HE ROLLS ONTO HIS STOMACH AND BEGINS TO RISE WITH CAMERON… LIFTING HER INTO THE BELLY-TO-BACK POSITION! LEAPING OFF THE GROUND HE CONNECTS WITH ‘CROWN OF THORNS’!!!!! STYLES CLASH! SHADES OF PRINCE OF PHENOMENAL, THE VERY MAN HE AND CHARLIE ONCE DETHRONED TO CAPTURE THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
James Peters: HE ROLLS CAMERON OVER FOR THE COVER!
OONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
James Peters: HERE COMES JAKE SMITH! HE LIFTS DARYL KINKADE UP OFF HIS FEET… AND PLACES HIM BETWEEN HIS LEGS! HE EXTENDS HIS ARMS JUST LIKE PRINCE OF PHENOMENAL!
Rich Russillo: ANYTHING YOU CAN DO, JAKE CAN DO BETTER!
Jake Smith: (off-mic) LEGENNNNNNNNNNDAAAAAAAARYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: SUNDAY NIGHT VOLTAGE HIMSELF IS LOOKING FOR CROWN OF THORNS- BUT DARYL KINKADE SLIPS OUT, LOOKING FOR A LARIAT, WHICH JAKE DUCKS!!!
James Peters: DARYL HITS THE ROPES, HEADING BACK TO JAKE-
Rich Russillo: ‘LAST SEDATION’!!!!!!!!!!! THE POP-UP-POWERBOMB CONNECTS AND JAKE SMITH IMMEDIATELY FALLS INTO THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
…
Rich Russillo: DARYL KINKADE POWERS OUT! HE USES ALL OF HIS ENERGY TO ESCAPE THAT FALL AS JAKE WAS INCHES AWAY FROM A VICTORY!
James Peters: Evidently, Jake is frustrated, he was confident he had that victory, he was confident this win was his, but Daryl Kinkade was able to find it deep inside of him to kick out!
Rich Russillo: Jake returns to his feet here and now he’s looking to inflict more damage! He lifts Daryl Kinkade to his feet, looking to connect with ‘Starmaker’ here…
James Peters: But Daryl pushes him forward-
Rich Russillo: WONDER WOMAN PUNCH! JAKE SMITH TAKES A TUMBLE AND FALLS STRAIGHT TO THE OUTSIDE! HOLDING HIS JAW, JAKE SMITH TAKES A HUGE MOVE FROM CAMERON ELLA AVA HERE!
James Peters: BUT HERE’S DARYL TO CAPITALISE! HE GRABS CAMERON’S WAIST AND LOOKS FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX-
Rich Russillo: BUT CAMERON SLAPS THE WRISTS AND BREAKS THE HOLD! HOOKING THE LEGS… ‘LASSO OF TRUTH’!!!!!!!! THE SLINGSHOT CONNECTS AND DARYL KINKADE DROPS DOWN IN THE CORNER!
James Peters: CAMERON NOW SCURRIES OVER TO ADAM LUCAS, WHO IS JUST RECOVERING! SHE LIFTS HIM UP ON HER SHOULDERS, LOOKING FOR ‘NO BODY, NO CRIME’!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: HOWEVER THAT TOO IS DENIED! SHARPSHOOTER! SHARPSHOOTER! THE LUCAS LOCK CONNECTS!
James Peters: WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! CAMERON IS GRABBING ONTO THE ROPES, AND SHE USES THE LEVERAGE TO FLIP BACK UP TO HER FEET!
Rich Russillo: ONLY TO BE IMMEDIATELY LIFTED UP FOR A POWERBOMB! ADAM LUCAS SLAMS HER DOWN DIRECTLY ONTO THE MAT!!
James Peters: BUT HE HOLDS ON! ROLLING HER TO HER FEET, CAMERON STUMBLES BACK INTO THE ROPES… BEFORE BEING LIFTED UP FOR THE ‘LEVEL UP’!!!!!
Rich Russillo: ‘MATRIARCH RISING’ IN THE AIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: CLUTCHING HIS HEAD ADAM LUCAS CRASHES TO THE MAT, AS CAMERON THROWS HER BODY ATOP HIS, WEAKLY COVERING THE FORMER ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

…
James Peters: SPRINGBOARD 450 SPLASH FROM DARYL KINKADE!!!!!!!!!! CAMERON CLUTCHES HER GUT AS EVERYBODY IS WIPED OUT HERE! THAT WAS THE LAST OF DARYL KINKADE’S ENERGY!!!!
(Now, everybody down on the mat, the crowd begins to clap and cheer as they all regroup; Jake Smith recovering on the outside, Adam Lucas nearly out cold in the ring, as Cameron and Daryl Kinkade slowly return to their feet!)
Rich Russillo: These Elitists are giving it everything they have to be able to punch their ticket, they’re both so desperate to become World Champion, and this is just the first step in that journey! If this is what they’ll go through here, who knows what they’ll do when they actually have a shot at either Michael Machina or Methuselah??? These two are going to the most extreme of lengths!!!
James Peters: But now, Daryl and Cameron pull themselves to their knees, as they look to trade shots here! Rich pointed it out earlier; these two have a history of their own! Much like Adam and Jake, these two despise one another! Daryl attempted to pry the Hardcore Championship from Cameron’s fingers, although he was unsuccessful; he looks to right that wrong here tonight! Daryl Kinkade is looking to take that EAW World Championship for himself, and it’ll be at the jest of Cameron Ella Ava!
Rich Russillo: The two trade forearm strikes, as they slowly begin to recover to their feet! Cameron! Daryl! Cameron! Daryl! Cameron! Daryl! THE TWO BEGIN TO RISE AND THOSE SHOTS AREN’T SLOWING DOWN!
James Peters: TRADING STRIKES NOW, NO RHYTHM TO IT! JUST THROWING THEIR FOREARMS AT THE SAME TIME, WE’VE STARTED A HOCKEY FIGHT HERE IN CHICAGO! CAMERON AND DARYL ARE LAYING WASTE TO ONE ANOTHER…
Rich Russillo: BUT DARYL KICKS HER IN THE STOMACH! HE HOOKS BOTH ARMS, LOOKING FOR HIS ULTIMATE FINISHING MOVE; ‘THE HIDEOUS TRUTH’!!! HE LIFTS HER UP FOR THE STORMBREAKER!
James Peters: BUT ADAM LUCAS, DROWSY AS HE IS, GRABS CAMERON BY THE LEG AND PULLS HER DOWN! SAVING THE MATCH FOR HIMSELF, AND POTENTIALLY SAVING CAMERON FROM SERIOUS DAMAGE!
Rich Russillo: CAMERON NOW, LIFTING DARYL UP FOR ‘NO BODY, NO CRIME’ ONCE MORE, FINALLY LOOKING TO HIT THE MOVE-
James Peters: DARYL SLIPS OFF! AGAIN, HE LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH ‘THE HIDEOUS TRUTH’-
Rich Russillo: NO BODY, NO CRIIIIIIIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: CAMERON ELLA AVA CONNECTS WITH HER PATENTED FIREMAN’S CARRY CUTTER ON DARYL, IT WAS JUST ABOUT ALL SHE HAD, HOWEVER IT LANDED…
James Peters: …BUT BEFORE CAMERON IS ABLE TO COVER, DARYL KINKADE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING! GREAT RING AWARENESS FROM THE KINK OF ELITE!
Rich Russillo: Cameron is visibly frustrated here! She has been fighting for that move this entire match, and the moment she gets to hit it, Daryl escapes within an inch of defeat! Cameron is visibly fuming here, her messed up hair coating her face, she looks a complete mess!
Persephone: Poor Jamie O’Hara. He has to wake up next to that. :yikes:
Rich Russillo: Cameron Ella Ava returns to her feet, moving towards the ropes, perhaps looking to slide out of the ring to grab Daryl-
James Peters: But she forgot about Adam! He didn’t have much left in him outside of stopping that finishing move from connecting, but now he’s recovered! Grabbing her arms…
Rich Russillo: HE LOOKS FOR HIS OWN ULTIMATE MOVE!!! WE SAW HIM BEAT METHUSELAH WITH THIS AT PAIN FOR PRIDE!! THE FULL NELSON SLAM!!! THE ADAMINATOR!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: BUT CAMERON LEAPS UP AND PUSHES HER FEET OFF THE TURNBUCKLE! SHE AND ADAM FALL, AND CAMERON LANDS IN A COVER!!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: ADAM KICKS OUT, KEEPING THE FULL NELSON IN TACT! HE RETURNS TO THEIR FEET NOW…
James Peters: ADAAAAAAAAAAMINATOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: DENIED! JAKE SMITH! JAKE SMITH! JAKE GRABS HIM BY THE BOOT AND PREVENTS HIM FROM HITTING THE MOVE!
James Peters: ADAM STUMBLES, AND HE’S CONFUSED HERE! HE THOUGHT JAKE WAS OUT OF IT!
Rich Russillo: JAKE IS CLUTCHING ONTO THAT BOOT AS MUCH AS HE CAN, TRYING TO PULL ADAM OUT OF THE RING, BUT IT’S NO USE! ADAM BOOTS HIM BACKWARDS INTO OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE! JAKE IS OUT AGAIN!
James Peters: BUT LOOK! CAMERON ELLA AVA IS LOOKING TO CAPITALISE! WONDER WOMAN PUNCH!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: ADAM HAD IT SCOUTED, AVOIDING IT IN THE NICK OF TIME! SHARPSHOOTER! SHARPSHOOTER! THE LUCAS LOCK IS APPLIED!
James Peters: AND CAMERON HAS NOWHERE TO GO! ADAM LUCAS IS DELIBERATELY FACING THE ROPES, AS HE SINKS HIS TEETH INTO THE MIDDLE ONE! HE’S PREVENTING CAMERON FROM BEING ABLE TO DRAG HIM AWAY!!!!
Rich Russillo: CAMERON IS STUCK HERE! SHE ISN’T AT AN ANGLE WHERE SHE CAN GRAB THE ROPES, AND SHE CAN’T CRAWL AWAY EITHER! ADAM LUCAS HAS HER STUCK IN THAT SHARPSHOOTER; THIS MAY BE HIS TO WIN!!!!
James Peters: CAMERON CAN’T FIGHT OUT OF IT! SHE’S HELD AT A DREADFUL ANGLE, AS ADAM FEROCIOUSLY APPLIES THIS HOLD! SHE HAS TO TAP HERE, OTHERWISE SHE’LL NEVER WRESTLE AGAIN! ADAM IS GONNA KEEP THAT HOLD IN UNTIL HER SPINE SNAPS! CAMERON ELLA AVA HAS TO TAP OUT!
Rich Russillo: THERE’S NO OTHER CHOICE! THERE’S NO OTHER-
James Peters: JAKE! JAKE! JAKE AGAIN, HE GRABS ADAM BY THE HAIR, AND PULLS HIM OUT OF THE RING! JAKE THWARTS ADAM LUCAS AGAIN IN THIS MATCH!!!
Rich Russillo: JAKE LOOKS TO THROW ADAM INTO THE BARRICADE- BUT IT’S COUNTERED! ADAM LUCAS SWINGS AROUND AND DRIVES JAKE INTO IT INSTEAD!
James Peters: JAKE SMITH PREVENTED ADAM LUCAS FROM COMING OUT VICTORIOUS, BUT PERHAPS HE JUST DELAYED THE INEVITABLE! JAKE SMITH CLUTCHES HIS RIBS AS HE RESTS ON THE BARRICADE!!!
Rich Russillo: AND ADAM LUCAS IS PISSED OFF! JAKE SMITH HAS INTERRUPTED HIM THIS ENTIRE MATCH, AND NOW ADAM IS POUNDING DOWN ON HIM! OVER! AND OVER! AND OVER! THROWING DOWN HAYMAKERS, TAKING JAKE SMITH OUT!
James Peters: BUT HE ISN’T DONE THERE! ADAM LUCAS GRABS JAKE BY THE HEAD AND THROWS HIM INTO THE TIMEKEEPERS AREA! JAKE CRASHES INTO THE STEEL CHAIRS, AND NOW ADAM LUCAS MOUNTS HIM! HE THROWS FOREARMS, AFTER FOREARMS, AFTER FOREARMS!!!
Rich Russillo: JAKE IS BEING BRUISED FROM HEAD TO TOE, AS ADAM BATTERS HIM! MANHANDLES HIM! ADAM IS FINALLY GETTING HIS HANDS ON JAKE AFTER JAKE HAS MANAGED TO AVOID HIM NEAR ENOUGH THIS WHOLE MATCH!
James Peters: ADAM LUCAS PULLS JAKE AWAY, LIFTING HIM UP OFF HIS FEET… DISCUS PUNCH! THE DISCUS PUNCH CAUSES JAKE TO STUMBLE AND REST AGAINST AGAINST THE BARRICADE!
Rich Russillo: ADAM ISN’T DONE THOUGH! HE GRABS JAKE, AND TOSSES HIM STRAIGHT BACK OVER THE BARRICADE, HITTING THE MAT, BEFORE FOLLOWING HIM QUICKLY! JAKE IS TRYING TO ESCAPE, BUT ADAM GRABS THE BOOT, PULLING HIM BACK…
James Peters: BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE PUNT KICK!!! JAKE IS OUT COLD!!! JAKE IS DONE FOR!!!
Rich Russillo: ADAM FINALLY GOT HIS HANDS ON JAKE SMITH, AND HE MADE HIM PAY FOR IT!!
James Peters: BUT NOW ADAM RETURNS HIS ATTENTION TO THE MATCH! SLIDING BACK INTO THE RING, LOOKING TO FINISH CAMERON-
Rich Russillo: CAMERON ELLA AVA RETURNS TO HER FEET, AND SHE MAY FINALLY HAVE ADAM LUCAS CAUGHT! ‘SNAPBACK’!!!! THE SNAPMARE FACEBREAKER CONNECTS!!! COVER!!!!!!
OOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
…
…
…
James Peters: ADAM POPS THE SHOULDER UP, BUT JUST BARELY! ADAM LUCAS STAYS ALIVE HERE!
Rich Russillo: AND CAMERON DOESN’T BELIEVE IT! SHE WHOLEHEARTEDLY BELIEVED SHE HAD THIS MATCH WON HERE! SHE WAS CONVINCED THAT SHE WAS HEADING TOWARDS AN EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH! SHE WAS SO CLOSE, BUT THIS MATCH CONTINUES!!!
James Peters: Cameron Ella Ava was a split second away from becoming the number one contender, however it’s gonna take just that extra bit more to take out a competitor on the level of Adam Lucas! Cameron rests against the ropes, taking deep breaths, surely wondering what more she has to give!
(Cameron uses the ropes to lift herself back up to her feet, her legs barely functioning and primarily guided by her adrenaline, all the while Adam Lucas attempts to recover, perhaps unsuccessfully…)
Rich Russillo: Cameron now marches into the corner… we KNOW what she’s setting up here, as she hit it on Adam Lucas earlier! If this connects, it’s ALL OVER! Adam Lucas was almost put down before Daryl broke it up… AS SHE LOOKS TO SET UP MATRIARCH RISING!!!!!!
James Peters: BUT SPEAK OF THE DEVIL! DARYL KINKADE BEHIND HER, PULLING HER UP TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!! HE LOCKS IN THE PUMPHANDLE…
Rich Russillo: HE’S GONNA DO IT OFF THE TOP ROPE! HE’S GONNA END THIS MATCH ONCE AND FOR ALL; DARYL KINKADE MAY VERY WELL BE THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER!
James Peters: NO, DARYL… NO! OH MY GOD…….
Rich Russillo: HAIL TO THE VICTOR FROM THE TOP ROPE!!!!!!!!!!! CAMERON ELLA AVA SPIKED WITH THE PUMPHANDLE PILEDRIVER FROM THE TOP ROPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: CAMERON ELLA AVA WAS SPIKED ON HER HEAD! DARYL INTO THE COVER!
Rich Russillo: LARIATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! LARIAT FROM ADAM LUCAS!!!!!!
James Peters: DARYL IS OUT COLD! DARYL IS DOWN AND OUT!!! ADAM LUCAS IS GONNA WIN THIS MATCH, AS HE LEAPS ONTO THE APRON!!!! HE’S GONNA GO FOR THAT BUCKSHOT LARIAT!!!!
Rich Russillo: ADAM LUCAS IS GOING TO STEAL THIS!!! ADAM LUCAS IS GOING TO BECOME THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER, CALLING DARYL UP TO HIS FEET… BUCKSHOT LARIAT!!!!!!
(**CRACK!**)
James Peters: WHAT THE??? A CHAIR JUST BOUNCED OFF ADAM’S HEAD!!!
Rich Russillo: JAKE SMITH, WITH THE LAST OF HIS ENERGY, THROWS A CHAIR FROM THE OUTSIDE STRAIGHT AT ADAM LUCAS! SHADES OF WICKED GAMES; ADAM LUCAS IS CRACKED OVER THE HEAD WITH THE STEEL CHAIR! ADAM FALLS BACK INTO THE ROPES, AS JAKE SLIDES INTO THE RING…
James Peters: STAAAAAAAARRRRRMAAAAAAAKEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! HE FINALLY HIT IT ON ADAM LUCAS!
Rich Russillo: JAKE SMITH INTO THE COV-
James Peters: BUT IT’S ALL FOR NOTHING!!! DARYL KINKADE IS HERE! DARYL COMES TO SPOIL THE FUN! GRABBING JAKE SMITH BY THE HAIR, HE LIFTS HIM UP TO HIS FEET!!!! ‘A BEAUTIFUL LIE’!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: DENIED! JAKE LANDS ON HIS FEET AND TURNS AROUND…
James Peters: SPRINGBOARD STARMAKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: NO! DARYL KINKADE PUSHES JAKE OVER THE TOP ROPE! JAKE IS HANGING ON FOR DEAR LIFE, BEFORE HE DROPS DOWN TO THE APRON!!!! JAKE HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THIS MATCH AFTER ALL!!!!
James Peters: AND NOW DARYL IS THE ONE MAN LEFT STANDING!!! HE STUMBLES BACKWARDS, AND HE SEES CAMERON ELLA AVA RIPE FOR THE PICKING!! DARYL KINKADE IS LOOKING FOR THE VICTORY HERE, GRABBING CAMERON BY THE HAIR, AND LIFTING HER UP OFF THE MAT…
Rich Russillo: IS IT TIME? IS HE FINALLY GOING TO CONNECT???
James Peters: IT JUST MIGHT BE! HE CROSSES THE LEGS, AND GOES FOR THE FISHERMANS BUSTER………
Rich Russillo: ‘A BEAUTIFUL LIE’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: IT CONNECTS!!!! DARYL INTO THE COVER NOW! DARYL HAS IT WON!!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: NO! ADAM LUCAS, BARELY BACK ON HIS FEET, BARELY ABLE TO STAND, HE GRABS DARYL AND LIFTS HIM UP! THROWING HIM INTO THE RING POST, SHOULDER-FIRST!!!!
James Peters: ADAM LUCAS, WITH NO ENERGY LEFT, FALLS DOWN ON TOP OF CAMERON!!!!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

James Peters: ADAM LUCAS IS ASTONISHED!!! HE BARELY HAS ANYTHING LEFT IN THE TANK!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT HE’S NOT GOING TO LET THIS MATCH GO ON ANY LONGER! DESPITE HAVING JELLY LEGS, ADAM GRABS CAMERON BY THE HAIR AND LIFTS HER UP!!! HE THROWS CAMERON INTO THE ROPES; HE’S NOT LETTING THIS MATCH CONTINUE!!
James Peters: THIS HAS TO BE IT! THIS HAS TO BE THE END… POP UP CUTTER!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…
…
…
(DING! DING! DING!)
(The entire crowd, first it erupts, then it slowly devolves into chatter… the entire stadium is confused; what does this mean for the result??? Adam Lucas slides off of the cover, looking to celebrate; he throws his fist up into the air, only to notice Jake alongside him doing the same thing! Adam, much like the crowd, is confused!!!)
James Peters: Wait a minute… what does this mean???
(Adam Lucas, barely able to stand, fought right until the end, the last bit of adrenaline in his body guiding him through after that Starmaker, he’s unable to stand. All he could do was throw his arm over Cameron, and he wasn’t able to see Jake Smith coming! Jake Smith, his eyes wide, darts them towards the referee, desperate to hear his call. Jake Smith scurries to the corner, DEMANDING the referee to make his decision!)
Rich Russillo: We have a winner here, but… WHO is that winner going to be exactly????
(The referee crawls to the outside, approaching Bella Braxton. He whispers into her ear, as Bella nods – albeit, just as confused as everyone else.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen… here is your winner… and the Number One Contender for the EAW World Championship….
…
…
(An anxious hush falls over the audience…)
Bella Braxton: ADAMMMM LUCAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!!
(THE CROWD ERUPTS! AS DOES ADAM LUCAS! A sigh of relief falls over his face! Finally, he has a shot to become EAW World-)
Bella Braxton:…….. AND!!!!!!!!
Crowd: :comeagain:
Bella Braxton: JAAAAAAAKEEEEE SMIIIIIIIIIIIITHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: WAIT JUST A SECOND!!! WE HAVE A DOUBLE WINNER! JAKE SMITH **AND** ADAM LUCAS!! THEY’RE BOTH GOING TO CHALLENGE FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!
(Adam Lucas’ delighted expression soon shifts to complete and utter fury. He can’t believe it; the victory he had earned was just pried from his hands, by the one man who has been a thorn in his side. Jake Smith stole yet another victory from him, and Adam Lucas is furious, much like the audience.)
Rich Russillo: NOBODY CAN BELIEVE IT!!! NEVERTHELESS ADAM LUCAS!!
(Jake Smith, on the other hand, rolls out to the ring…)
Jake Smith: https://tenor.com/view/lionel-messi-champions-league-manchester-gif-23546297
Rich Russillo: AND HE’S CELEBRATING! HE’S CELEBRATING LIKE HE’S WON THE WORLD CUP!!!
Jake Smith: (off-mic) I DID ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I TOLD YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I TOLD YOU ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!
Jake Smith: https://tenor.com/view/kurt-angle-kurt-angle-wwe-smack-down-gif-7582843
(Jake Smith, elated, on the ramp, celebrates as if it was his greatest victory; perhaps both out if genuine happiness he has a shot to reclaim his gold, but also, simply to get under Adam Lucas’ skin. He prevented him from victory this entire match, and just as Adam Lucas believed he had swatted him away, Jake Smith crawls back in, and steals it from under his feet. The Starmaker responsible for Adam being unable to make a legitimate cover, and the pinfall stopping him from celebrating this match alone.)
James Peters: Jake Smith, the man of 1000 plans, has stolen yet another victory here tonight.
(The camera pans to Daryl Kinkade. Holding his shoulder in the corner, he watches as a phantom of his past haunts him once more. He truly believes this SHOULD have been his. Then, it pans to Cameron. Sitting on the outside, she feels bitter, and disappointed. A devastating loss for her. We pan to Adam Lucas, barely able to recover to his feet, staring a hole through Jake Smith. We then pan to Jake Smith…)
Jake Smith: # I TOLD YOU ALL! I’M GONNA BECOME THE NEXT EAW WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!!!!! FUCKING CRY ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!
Jake Smith: https://tenor.com/view/yes-hi-stress-angry-wwe-gif-17869374
(Jake Smith, the only happy man in this entire audience, continues to celebrate on the outside. Adam limps over to the ropes, facing the ramp, a burning passion inside of him; he has yet to remove himself from his grudge with Jake Smith. Jake, on the other hand, is careless, parading up the ramp. These two men are your Number One Contenders…)
(The broadcast then fades to commercial break.)
(A commercial for Teremana Tequila plays featuring Jacob Ryan Smith.)
(https://i.ibb.co/wyG4HDn/Triple-Threat-WHC.png)
(The camera comes back as the sounds of ‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ by AFI begins to play through the speakers of the arena. The crowd roars as the camera goes over to show a determined Hans Grayson as he makes his way out from the backstage area and toward the stage. He has a serious expression as he scans around before then beginning to make his way down the ramp.)
Stew-O: Make no mistake about it, it’s been a long road for Hans Grayson to get to this point. It started in the build to Road To Redemption when he was set to compete for the Extreme Elimination Chamber. Ultimately he would meet the eye of one of his opponents in this match, and that would cost him the Interwire Championship. Hans entered the Chamber as a man on a mission, but unfortunately, he came up short.
Flannery McCoy: But what that would serve as is justification for him to be in this match here tonight. It’s been a long time coming and to get an opportunity like this to kick off 2025 is not something that he surely takes for granted. Even though there’s more than an issue of just taking out the Champion in this situation, it’s nothing he hasn’t done before. Hans has pulled off shockers in the past, and his next big one might very well be becoming the new World Heavyweight Champion live tonight in Chicago.
Jake Mercer: Graysonites rise! Hans Grayson is here and he’s looking to add to his already superstar resume with another Championship reign under his belt! I’m excited! I’m drinking his signature energy drink right now! I’m hyped!
(‘Still D.R.E.’ by Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg begins to blast through the speakers of the arena as the crowd starts to boo loudly, with the camera going over to show EAW Hall of Famer Impact as he makes his way out from the backstage area. He has a smug expression on his face as he eyes the ring, not feeling fazed at all as he makes his way down the ramp.)
Stew-O: Lo and behold, here comes the Hall of Famer. Impact’s resume speaks for itself, there’s no question that he deserves to be in a match like this. But you can’t help but wonder if all this hating that he’s been doing since his return is going to end up getting to him, especially in the form of someone like Hans Grayson.
Flannery McCoy: Hans and Impact have had a heated rivalry these past couple of months, and it could very well culminate here, but I feel the only way that it could do that is if either of them wins the World Heavyweight Championship tonight, which is certainly going to be a tall task. Regardless Impact is here and he’s looking to put on a performance that only he can, so I suppose it’s something that only remains to be seen.
Jake Mercer: #11Reignz, all Impact needs to do is win and he fulfills the prophecy! It’s time! It’s time! It’s time! BRING IT HOME KARL!
(Last, but certainly not least, ‘2024’ by Playboi Carti begins to play through the speakers of the arena. The crowd goes berserk as the camera goes over to show the World Heavyweight Champion Joso as he makes his way out from the backstage area. He has his title around his waist as he spreads his arms out with a prideful expression. After sometime he then begins to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stew-O: And here comes the Champion! Joso is looking to add yet another title defense under his belt to bolster his World Heavyweight Championship reign, and a win against these two would certainly go a long way to doing it. We know Joso has talked some big talk recently, and one thing he’s been keen on saying is that this is his era.
Flannery McCoy: And every week he comes out with that title around his waist is further proof of that. He’s a man on a mission here tonight and he’s looking to make sure that he leaves absolutely no doubts in the heads of everyone that he is the one to look out for in the year of 2025.
Jake Mercer: Joso don’t miss! Hans and Impact are going to be so caught up against eachother that they’re not going to see the huge threat in this match! This is certainly going to be interesting no matter how you look at it though.
(Once Joso enters the ring, the lights begin to dim as a spotlight is shown over the three of them. Stephie Love is seen at the center of the ring with a microphone in hand as she then begins to speak.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING TRIPLE THREAT MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Stephie Love: AND IT IS FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!!
(The crowd goes berserk as all three Elitists are seen staring a hole into eachother.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, the challengers… from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada… weighing in at 219 pounds… HE IS ‘THE FIRE BREATHING DRAGON’… HANSSSSSSSSSSSSS GRAAAAAYYYYYYYSONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Hans climbs up to the top rope and spreads his arms out as the crowd cheers loudly for him. He then jumps off and focuses back in.)
Stephie Love: Next… from Seattle, Washington… weighing in at 228 pounds… HE IS ‘THE QUINTESSENTIAL CHAMPION’… IMMMMPACCCCTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Impact stays completely stoic as the crowd boos loudly for him. He scans around for a moment before shaking his head.)
Stephie Love: Lastly… from Bronx, New York… weighing in at 206 pounds… HE IS THE EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!! THE ‘STAR PLAYER’… JOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Joso raises his Championship into the air as the crowd shows their support for him. He nods his head before handing it off to the referee, who shows it off the other two competitors in this match before raising it into the air. Once the scene settles, the referee checks on all three competitors before then calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go, we’ve been waiting for this one! The top prize on Friday Night Dynasty is on the line as Joso defends his World Heavyweight Championship against Hall of Famer Impact and Hans Grayson-
Flannery McCoy: IT SEEMS LIKE WE’RE NOT WASTING ANY TIME NOW! HANS GRAYSON JUST SPRINTED FORWARD AND LAUNCHED AT IMPACT AS HE BEGAN TO UNLOAD WITH A BARRAGE OF STRIKES TO THE FACE!
Jake Mercer: Joso was about to engage, but it seems he’s backed off! Impact is trying his best to block the attack that’s being sent toward him right now, but the former Interwire Champion is relentless as he grabs a hold of him by the head, SLAMMING HIS FACE AGAINST THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Impact’s face bounces off as he looks stunned, BUT HANS DOESN’T CARE AS HE SLAMS HIM AGAINST IT AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN!
Stew-O: Impact finally manages to shove himself away as he drops down and under the bottom rope, retreating to the ringside area! The 10-time World Champion manages to get himself some breathing room, but it doesn’t seem like Hans is going to let him have that reprieve!
Flannery McCoy: But he needs to remember that he has a whole other opponent in this match!
(Hans turns around and eyes Joso who has been leaning against the corner this entire time. As he does, the Champion holds his hands up in innocence.)
Joso: (Off-Mic) You good bro, I’ll just chill here.
Jake Mercer: HANS RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK BEFORE LAUNCHING OUT OF THE RING, FLOORING IMPACT WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!
Joso: :mjlol2:
Stew-O: You have to wonder if this is the best strategy right now, letting arguably the biggest threat in this match sit back and bide his time for the right moment, who knows if that’s going to end up coming back to bite him? Impact falls against the barricade as he tries his best to recover, but Hans already has a hold of him by the head as he begins to drive strikes repeatedly against his face! He then grabs him and drags him away, turning him around, AS HE TRIES TO DRIVE HIM FACEFIRST AGAINST THE RING POST-
(CRACK!)
Flannery McCoy: BUT IMPACT MANAGES TO STOP HIMSELF AND SPIN AROUND, GRABBING HANS INSTEAD AND COLLIDING HIM WITH THE RINGPOST! Impact finally manages to get a moment to recover as he gains control back in this fight. Hans is hurt as he clutches his face, trying to crawl himself away realizing that this situation has turned dire, but just like he did to him, Impact is going to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Jake Mercer: Impact takes Hans and brings him up to his feet, BEFORE POPPING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A BACK BODY DROP ONTO THE FRONT OF OUR ANNOUNCERS TABLE! Hans clutches his spine as he rolls off of our table, and immediately Impact turns his attention toward the ring. Joso finally begins to tense himself up as he makes his way out of his corner, and it looks like Impact is shouting, insisting that he bring the fight to the outside!
Stew-O: JOSO RUSHES FORWARD AND GOES THROUGH THE ROPES, TRYING TO CONNECT WITH A WRECKING BALL DROPKICK- But just in time, Impact manages to move out of the way of that! Joso lands on his feet as he turns around, only to be met with a forearm to the face by Impact! He then grabs Joso by the head, BEFORE SLAMMING HIS FACE AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE APRON!
Flannery McCoy: It took a while to get going, but Impact is beginning to get some ground in this scenario. He quickly grabs a hold of Joso by the wrist and brings him back up to his feet, SENDING HIM INTO AN IRISH WHIP TO SLAM HIM AGAINST THE BARRICADE HARD!
Jake Mercer: BUT JOSO MANAGES TO JUMP OVER THE BARRICADE AND LAND IN THE CROWD AREA! He turns around as Impact tries to rush over to amend for his mistakes, but Joso immediately cracks him against the face as he goes over and connects with a forearm! Impact staggers back as Joso grabs a hold of the barricade, USING IT FOR LEVERAGE AS HE LEAPS OVER IT AND PUSHES OFF INTO A FLYING FOREARM THAT DROPS IMPACT DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Stew-O: Joso manages to make his way up to his feet as he’s the one standing tall in this chaotic start to this bout so far, but I don’t think he sees Hans Grayson making his way back up to his feet! Hans quickly comes in from behind and clobbers him against the back of his head! Joso drops down to a kneeling position as Hans quickly grabs a hold of him and brings him into a front facelock, LIFTING HIM INTO A SUPLEX TO DROP HIM DOWN HARD ON THE MAT!
Flannery McCoy: But Joso manages to slip off just in time! He lands behind Hans before turning him around and driving a knee straight into his abdomen! He then proceeds to turn him around before setting him up, SENDING HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE- NO! Just in time, Hans manages to grab a hold of something to stop himself! Joso realizes that it didn’t exactly go to plan, making his way over, but before he does he’s met with a swift side kick to the abdomen by Hans Grayson! The Fireheart then grabs a hold of the barricade as Joso stumbles backward, AND HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF OFF LOOKING TO DROP HIM DOWN WITH A HUGE AERIAL MOONSAULT!
Jake Mercer: BUT JOSO MANAGES TO CATCH HIM JUST IN TIME! Hans is flailing around trying to get himself free, but it doesn’t seem to be a good situation for him to be in right now as he tries to get himself out, but Joso is already turning him around and making his way toward the ring. He positions him, BEFORE SLAMMING HIM SPINE FIRST ONTO THE RING APRON!
Stew-O: Hans is in a world of pain right now as Joso keeps him on the apron before climbing up himself. Both of them are in a precarious position as the Star Player proceeds to grab him and bring him up to his feet. Hans though is making sure that he doesn’t go down without a fight, beginning to connect with repeated strikes to the face! Joso is taken aback by this as Hans is making sure that he keeps it going! He grabs a hold of him and brings him into a front facelock, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S ABOUT TO DDT HIM ON THE APRON!
Flannery McCoy: BUT JUST IN TIME! JOSO MANAGES TO RUN HIM FORWARD BEFORE SLAMMING HIM AGAINST THE RINGPOST! He then grabs a hold of him and pulls him toward the center, pulling him in and lifting him into a Suplex position, AS IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S TRYING TO TWIST AROUND AND DROP HIM DOWN ONTO THE EDGE OF THE APRON WITH A HUGE FALCON ARROW!
Jake Mercer: But that doesn’t happen! Just in time, Hans manages to slip off his shoulders and land back into the ring! Hans staggers back toward the ring, trying to recover and take a breather, but Joso seems to be quickly entering the ring behind him-
Stew-O: BUT IMPACT JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND GRABBED A HOLD OF JOSO’S ANKLES! HE YANKS HIM OFF OF THE APRON AS JOSO’S FACE SLAMS AGAINST IT! Joso staggers back and tries to swing at Impact- BUT HE MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER IT AS THE HALL OF FAMER LIFTS HIM OFF OF THE GROUND AND CONNECTS WITH A SCOOP SLAM! Joso lands hard on the ringside matting as he grabs his back in pain, and Impact doesn’t necessarily look done with him right now.
Flannery McCoy: Joso is trying to get back up to his feet but Impact is trying to shut him down for the time being, AS HE RUNS AND LEAPS ONTO THE APRON, PUSHING HIMSELF OFF AND CRUSHING THE CHAMPION WITH A MOONSAULT AT THE RINGSIDE AREA! ‘FLIGHT SIGHTS’ ON THE OUTSIDE CONNECT AND JOSO IS CLUTCHING HIS CHEST IN PAIN!
Jake Mercer: Impact makes his way back up to his feet as he climbs onto the apron, BUT WHAT HE DOESN’T SEE IS A BLOODLUSTED HANS GRAYSON AS HE RUSHES FORWARD AND LOOKS TO KNOCK HIM OUT OF THE RING WITH A SHOULDER THRUST- NO! Impact manages to move out of the way of that! He steps back as he connects with a hard kick to the chest that forces him back into the ring! Impact enters through the ropes and immediately he begins to stomp down on him repeatedly!
Stew-O: Hans is not doing well against Impact right now and that’s the less-than-ideal situation if he wants to get the better of his heated rival. The ten-time World Champion quickly grabs him by the head and brings him up to his feet, grabbing him by the wrist and pulling him forward, AS HE SENDS HIM COLLIDING INTO THE CORNER HARD! Hans hits his shoulder and tries his best to make his way out, BUT ALREADY IMPACT IS RUSHING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A RUNNING FOREARM STRIKE STRAIGHT TO THE FACE- BUT HANS MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME AND SEND IMPACT INTO THE CORNER INSTEAD!
Flannery McCoy: Impact is hit hard and immediately Hans rushes back, getting a running start as he comes back around, CONNECTING WITH A HARD BOOT STRAIGHT TO THE FACE OF IMPACT! This leaves The Quintessential Champion rocked and now Hans is going to take advantage of this, quickly grabbing him by the head and pulling him forward, BEFORE RUNNING AND PUSHING HIMSELF OFF OF THE CORNER, SPIKING IMPACT’S HEAD DOWN ONTO THE MAT WITH A TORNADO DDT-
Jake Mercer: BUT IMPACT MANAGES TO KEEP HANS UP BEFORE SHOVING HIM AWAY! Hans staggers backward as he makes his way over, but the only thing he’s met with is a kick to the abdomen by Impact! He then pulls him in and sets him up, AS HE LOOKS TO DROP HIM DOWN ONTO THE MAT WITH A SNAP DDT-
Stew-O: WAIT! OUT OF NOWHERE! LOOK WHO’S SLIDING IN! JOSO IMMEDIATELY RUSHES OVER AND TAKES IMPACT DOWN WITH AN STO THAT DROPS BOTH HIM AND HANS DOWN TO THE GROUND! Hans is spiked directly on his head while Impact is out of it on the canvas and the World Heavyweight Champion has inserted himself back into this match in a big way! Joso, in a seated position, quickly rolls himself under the bottom rope and he uses the ropes to make his way back up to his feet on the apron.
Flannery McCoy: Who knows what the Champion could have in mind right here as he has his target lined up, LAUNCHING OFF OF THE ROPES AND PUSHING HIMSELF INTO A SPRINGBOARD 450 SPLASH ONTO BOTH HANS AND IMPACT! WHAT A MOVE CONNECTING ONTO BOTH OF HIS OPPONENTS AS JOSO IMMEDIATELY GOES FOR THE PIN ON HANS!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWOOOO!!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT HANS MANAGES TO SHOOT THE SHOULDER UP! Joso makes his way back up to his feet as he sets his sights on Impact, but before he can do anything, Impact sees what’s happening and begins to roll under the bottom rope in retreat! He makes his way back out of the ring, but it doesn’t seem like Joso is going to let him do that!
Stew-O: Joso makes his way onto the apron himself and up to his feet, as Impact is beginning to make his way back up using the barricade. He turns himself around, ONLY TO BE MET BY JOSO WHO LAUNCHES OFF OF THE APRON ONTO IMPACT’S SHOULDERS AND GOES FOR A HURRICANRANA!
Flannery McCoy: BUT IMPACT MANAGES TO CATCH HIM JUST IN TIME! HE HAS A HOLD OF JOSO ONTO HIS SHOULDERS IN A POWERBOMB POSITION AND WE KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO BODE WELL FOR HIM WHATSOEVER, AS IMPACT SWINGS HIM AROUND AND SLAMS HIM SHOULDER FIRST AGAINST THE BARRICADE! JOSO IS COMPLETELY WIPED OUT AND IMPACT IS QUICK TO ROLL HIMSELF BACK INTO THE RING!
Jake Mercer: And with Joso out of the equation it’s back to Hans and Impact, as Hans is against the ropes right now trying his best to recover. But Impact is quick to make his way over as he has him by the arm and sends him toward the opposite side of the ring, CONNECTING WITH A BACK ELBOW TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND- NO! Hans manages to duck under that as he turns and runs to the ropes and back, BUT IMPACT MANAGES TO CATCH HIM AND GO FOR A BACK BODY DROP- NO! HANS MANAGES TO FLIP HIMSELF OVER IMPACT AND ROLL HIM INTO A SUNSET FLIP PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Stew-O: BUT IMPACT MANAGES TO KICK OUT! Hans rolls himself backward and back up to his feet as Impact tries to get up to a seated position, ONLY TO BE MET BY HANS WHO CONNECTS WITH A LOW DROPKICK RIGHT TO HIS FACE TO LEAVE HIM ROCKED! Impact is hurt but is still trying to get to his feet, though it seems like Hans already has his eyes set on him as he waits for him to get back up to his feet… BEFORE TURNING AROUND AS HE RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK, SPRINGBOARD MOVE-
Flannery McCoy: NO! IMPACT RUSHES FORWARD AND GRABS HANS AROUND THE WAIST BEFORE PULLING HIM TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE RING! HE THEN SETS HIM UP AS HE LIFTS HIM OVER HIS HEAD INTO A BACK SUPLEX- NO! HANS MANAGES TO FLIP OVER HIM AND LAND BEHIND HIM!
Jake Mercer: Hans then turns around and runs to the ropes and back, but Impact hits a drop-down which Hans jumps over before heading to the opposite side, only for Impact to come back around and jump over him with a leapfrog, Hans comes back around, ONLY FOR IMPACT TO CATCH HIM AS HE LEAPS INTO THE AIR WITH A DROPKICK TO THE CHEST!
Stew-O: Impact seems to be riling the crowd up as he aims for something here, grabbing hold of Hans and bringing him up to his feet, and he has several moves in his arsenal that can be used right now! AS HE SETS HIM UP AND GOES FOR ‘THE HAIL MARY’! THE FULL NELSON FACEBUSTER TO HANS GRAYSON!
Flannery McCoy: BUT HANS MANAGES TO BREAK FREE AND GO UNDER JUST IN TIME! HE THEN LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A FRONT DROPKICK TO THE BACK! Impact staggers toward the ropes as he turns himself around, Hans making his way over, ONLY FOR IMPACT TO CONNECT WITH A KNEE TO THE ABDOMEN!
Jake Mercer: Impact then grabs him by the arms and goes for another Irish whip- But Hans manages to turn it around just in time as he pulls him toward him, CONNECTING WITH A HUGE LARIAT WHICH DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! Impact lands flat on his back as Hans then positions himself, LEAPING OFF AND CONNECTING WITH A STANDING MOONSAULT TO CRUSH IMPACT UNDERNEATH HIM!
Stew-O: The Fireheart has a look in his eyes right now as he begins to feel himself in this match! He rolls himself under the bottom rope and onto the apron as he makes his way up to his feet, now beginning to scale up the turnbuckles. He’s heading up to the top rope and Impact hasn’t moved an inch since, and I think we know what he could potentially go for right now! LEAPING OFF-
Flannery McCoy: BUT JOSO ENTERS THE RING! HE LEAPS ONTO THE ROPES AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF OF THEM BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK THAT SENDS HANS GRAYSON FLYING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE AREA! HANS LANDS HARD AS JOSO DERAILS ANY MOMENTUM THAT HE COULD’VE HAD!
Jake Mercer: Joso then turns around as Impact makes his way up to his feet, and I think the Hall of Famer realizes now that he’s not in the best position, and that he’s going to have to do something right now! Impact goes for a strike- BUT JOSO STOPS HIM AS HE STEPS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK RIGHT TO THE KNEECAP THAT TAKES HIM DOWN TO A KNEELING POSITION!
Stew-O: Impact tries to recover, BUT JUST IN TIME, JOSO CONNECTS WITH A SECOND SUPERKICK TO THE JAW THAT DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! Impact is flat on his back and Joso looks to close this off, LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A STANDING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP STRAIGHT TO THE CHEST OF IMPACT TO TAKE THE AIR OUT OF HIS LUNGS! JOSO CLOSES OFF THE COMBO AS HE QUICKLY GOES DOWN AND HOOKS THE LEG! TRYING FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Flannery McCoy: KICKOUT BY IMPACT! Joso rolled himself back up to his feet as he knew that wasn’t going to do the trick! He quickly grabs a hold of Impact and brings him up to his feet, looking to go for something right now, setting him up…
Jake Mercer: AS HE LIFTS HIM AND TRIES TO CONNECT WITH ‘INCOMING SILENCE’! THE SPINNING SIT-OUT POWERBOMB TO IMPACT-
Stew-O: BUT IMPACT MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A BACK ELBOW STRAIGHT TO THE FACE WHICH STOPS JOSO FROM GOING FOR THAT! Joso is hurt and Impact is taking advantage of that, AS HE QUICKLY SPINS HIMSELF AROUND AND CONNECTS WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD! Impact then quickly turns Joso around and grabs him around the waist, LIFTING HIM OFF OF THE GROUND AND DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: But Impact doesn’t seem to be done as he rolls himself through, keeping hold of Joso as he brings him back up to his feet, HEAVING HIM UP AND CONNECTING WITH A SECOND GERMAN SUPLEX STRAIGHT DOWNWARD! Impact looks to finish off the trifecta here as he brings Joso back up to his feet, HOOKING THE ARMS AS HE GOES FOR A DRAGON SUPLEX-
Jake Mercer: BUT JOSO MANAGES TO BREAK FREE AS HE TURNS AROUND AND NAILS HIM WITH A FOREARM STRIKE TO THE FACE! Joso then turns around and runs to the ropes, LEAPING OFF OF THEM AS HE TWISTS AROUND AND GOES FOR A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY STRAIGHT TO IMPACT-
Stew-O: BUT IMPACT MANAGES TO CATCH HIM JUST IN TIME! He catches him and looks to set him up for something here making his way toward the center of the ring, AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S TIME FOR A FALLAWAY SLAM-
Flannery McCoy: BUT HE DOESN’T SEE HANS GRAYSON ON THE TOP ROPE AS HE LEAPS OFF WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK THAT CONNECTS ONTO THE BACK OF JOSO TAKING BOTH HIM AND IMPACT DOWN TO THE GROUND! Hans immediately kips back up to his feet and the crowd cheers loudly for The Fireheart right here!
Jake Mercer: Impact staggers up to his feet as he stumbles toward Hans, BUT HANS IMMEDIATELY GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A DDT- NO! Impact connects with strikes to the abdomen before setting him up, AS HE TRANSITIONS INTO DROPPING HIM DOWN WITH A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX!
Stew-O: Impact now turns around and runs to the ropes and back, AS HE GOES FOR ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT ‘FLIGHT SIGHTS’! THE SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT TO HANS-
Flannery McCoy: BUT HANS ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! HE IMMEDIATELY RUSHES TO HIS FEET AS HE LEAPS ONTO THE ROPES, CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT HIMSELF! ‘FIRESAULT’ CONNECTS AND HANS IS QUICK TO HOOK THE LEG AS HE GOES FOR A PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRR-
Jake Mercer: BUT JUST IN TIME, JOSO MANAGES TO LEAP FORWARD AS HE BREAKS UP THE PIN! He saves this match just in time and with that, he preserves his chances to stay as World Heavyweight Champion for the time being.
Stew-O: Hans doesn’t seem very happy about this as he makes his way back up to his feet, grabbing hold of Joso as he brings him up as well! Joso begins to try and fight back as he connects with hard elbow shots straight to the chest, but immediately Hans manages to break through and drive a knee straight into his abdomen! He then grabs a hold of Hans by the head and makes his way over to the corner, BEFORE SLAMMING HIS FACE AGAINST THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Joso clutches his face as he falls against the corner, and now Hans is taking advantage of this as he goes under and lifts him onto a seated position on the top rope!
Flannery McCoy: Hans begins to grab a hold of him and connects with repeated strikes to the face! Joso is trying his best to fight back but it’s clear it’s not going to be of any use as Hans is beginning to make his way up the turnbuckles as well. He grabs a hold of him and begins to lift him and it doesn’t seem like this is going to end very well for the Champion!
Jake Mercer: HANS HAS A HOLD OF HIM AS HE LOOKS TO GO FOR THE ‘FIRE FLY’! MOONSAULT WHILE HOLDING ONTO JOSO ON THE TOP ROPE!
Stew-O: NO! NO! Joso manages to connect with repeated elbow strikes to the side of the head which leaves Hans on wobbly legs! Hans is forced to stop what he has in mind right now as Joso manages to slowly slip himself off of his shoulders and back down onto the top rope! Hans tries to go for a strike- But Joso manages to block and connect with a strike of his own!
Flannery McCoy: He connects with a barrage of strikes to the face trying to make sure that he has the upper hand here, but Hans is trying his best to fight back as well! He reels his head back, CRACKING JOSO AGAINST THE SKULL WITH A VICIOUS HEADBUTT! Joso is stunned and now Hans is taking advantage of this as he takes a step up, LEAPING ONTO THE SHOULDERS OF JOSO AND TRYING TO SEND HIM FLYING DOWN WITH AN AVALANCHE FRANKENSTEINER TO DROP HIM DOWN ONTO THE MAT!
Jake Mercer: NO! THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN! BEFORE HANS CAN PUSH HIMSELF OFF IT’S JOSO WHO MANAGES TO KEEP HIM UP! JOSO WITH A SHOWCASE OF RAW STRENGTH PROPS HIMSELF UPWARD, BEFORE SLAMMING HANS GRAYSON DOWNWARD WITH AN AVALANCHE POWERBOMB! HANS IS DOWN AND JOSO IMMEDIATELY TRANSITIONS INTO A PIN ATTEMPT RIGHT HERE!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Stew-O: IMPACT! IMPACT OUT OF NOWHERE JUST LUNGED HIMSELF FORWARD AND BROKE THE PIN ATTEMPT! Impact quickly grabs a hold of the head of Joso and begins to batter him with rapid-fire strikes straight to the face! He knew how close he was to letting this match slip away from his fingertips and he refused to let that happen again! Hans is quickly rolling himself away and Impact has Joso right where he wants him!
Flannery McCoy: The Hall of Famer grabs Joso by the head and throws him toward the center of the ring, waiting for him to rise back up to his feet with a poised expression on his face! Focused on making sure that he brings home his 11th World Championship, adding to his already legendary career, all it takes is one move and the World Heavyweight Champion is prime for the taking! Joso staggers up to his feet as he shakes himself off, quickly turning around!
Jake Mercer: AS IMPACT RUSHES FORWARD AND GOES FOR THE ‘FIST OF FURY’! RIGHT HOOK STRAIGHT TO THE FACE OF JOSO TO SECURE HIM THE MATCH!
Stew-O: BUT JOSO MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER IT! HE GOES FROM BEHIND IMPACT AND SNATCHES HIM AROUND THE WAIST, BEFORE LIFTING HIM AND DROPPING HIM DOWN INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX! IMPACT IS DROPPED RIGHT DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD BUT JOSO ISN’T DONE AS HE ROLLS HIMSELF THROUGH, BEFORE UNWINDING HIM AND TAKING HIS HEAD OFF WITH A RIPCORD LARIAT!
Flannery McCoy: Joso gives a battle cry as he begins to circle Impact like a shark! He knows that he has this opportunity right in front of him to turn the tables! Impact is trying his best to make his way back up to his feet! He knows that he needs to do something quick but it might be too late with the rate that the Champion is going at right now! He makes his way up to his feet and turns around!
Jake Mercer: AND JOSO KICKS HIM IN THE ABDOMEN AND PULLS HIM IN! HE’S GOING FOR ‘HEAVEN’S GATE’! THE PACKAGE PILEDRIVER TO IMPACT-
(…)
Stew-O: CONNECTS! IMPACT IS DROPPED RIGHT DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD AS JOSO CONNECTS WITH THE FINISHING MANUEVER! JOSO IS HURT AS HE BEGINS TO RISE, SEEING THE OPPORTUNITY AS THE CROWD IS GOING BERSERK RIGHT NOW! HE’S GOING FOR THE PIN!
Flannery McCoy: ‘BURNING SHOT LARIAT’!
Jake Mercer: HANS GRAYSON WITH THE BUCKSHOT LARIAT OUT OF NOWHERE TAKING JOSO’S HEAD CLEAN OFF! HANS WAITED FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT AND HE TOOK ADVANTAGE AND THAT VERY WELL MIGHT HAVE SECURED HIM THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! HANS IS QUICKLY ROLLING JOSO OVER AS HE HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Stew-O: IMPACT! IMPACT WITH THE LAST FIBER OF ENERGY HE HAD LEFT WITHIN HIM GRABS THE REFEREE BY THE ANKLE AND YANKS HIM OUT OF THE RING! HE WAS HIT WITH THAT PACKAGE PILEDRIVER BUT DESPITE THAT MANAGED TO FIND THE ENERGY WITHIN HIM TO SAVE THIS MATCH!
Flannery McCoy: AND LOOK AT HANS! HANS IS FURIOUS! JOSO WASN’T GOING TO KICK OUT OF THAT MOVE, HE WAS A MILLISECOND AWAY FROM BECOMING A WORLD CHAMPION AND ONCE AGAIN IMPACT JUST RIPPED ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY RIGHT AWAY FROM HIM!
(Hans is looking in complete and utter disbelief as he stares at Impact slowly crawls his way toward the barricade after collapsing down to the ground, clutching at it as he slowly makes his way up. The ten-time World Champion is battered and bruised but despite that, his mind is as sharp as ever. Hans runs his hands down his face repeatedly before making his way back up to his feet, having his mind focused on one thing and one thing only.)
Jake Mercer: HANS JUST SHOT UP TO HIS FEET AND LAUNCHED HIMSELF ONTO THE ROPES, SPRINGBOARD FOREARM TO THE OUTSIDE STRAIGHT TO IMPACT! IMPACT STAGGERS BACKWARD AND FALLS AGAINST THE BARRICADE AGAIN AND IT’S ON! HANS GRABS A HOLD OF HIM BY THE HEAD AND BEGINS TO DRIVE REPEATED PUNCHES AGAINST HIS FACE! IMPACT HASN’T EVEN BEEN GIVEN A CHANCE TO RECOVER HERE! HE HASN’T EVEN BEEN GIVEN A MOMENT AND NOW THE FORMER INTERWIRE CHAMPION IS ON THE ATTACK!
Stew-O: HE GRABS IMPACT BY THE HEAD, BEFORE SENDING HIM FACE FIRST AGAINST THE RINGPOST! IMPACT STAGGERS DOWN TO THE GROUND AS HANS GRABS HIM AGAIN, SLAMMING HIM AGAINST THE RINGPOST A SECOND TIME! HANS IS COMPLETELY BLOODLUSTED RIGHT NOW, HIS FEUD WITH IMPACT THESE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS HAS COMPLETELY BOILED OVER AND WHO CAN BLAME HIM?! IMPACT HAS MADE HIS LIFE A LIVING HELL!
Flannery McCoy: But he’s going to make sure that ends tonight! Hans is making his way over as he’s now beginning to dismantle our announcer’s table! He’s making sure that if he puts out Impact tonight it’s going to be emphatically, with a statement that he’s the one who’s at the top right now and nobody is going to stop him! He makes his way over and heaves Impact up to his feet before throwing him onto the announcer’s table! Impact is trying to stir but Hans is immediately beginning to send strikes straight to his face, and I think we know his intentions right now!
Jake Mercer: Hans is climbing onto the apron and beginning to make his way up to the top rope, Impact hasn’t moved an inch since he was laid out on that table and now the former Interwire Champion is looking to take advantage of this situation! He’s perched up top and I think we know what’s coming next, AS HE TAKES FLIGHT!
(CRASH!)
Stew-O: IMPACT MOVES! IMPACT MOVES! HE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME AS HANS GOES THROUGH THE TABLE WITH A SPLASH! HANS IS OUT OF IT RIGHT NOW AND IMPACT, BY A HAIR, JUST MANAGED TO SAVE HIMSELF IN THE NICK OF TIME!
Flannery McCoy: Look at the pure exhaustion on the face of Impact as he crawls himself away from the rubble, he’s been through the absolute wringer in this match and it’s clear that he’s only going to go through more, but if he’s adamant on coming out on top than this is exactly what it’s going to take! Hans hasn’t moved an inch since he went through that table, Impact is hurt as he grabs onto the ring apron and slowly heaves himself up! He knows that he has to get himself into the ring and he knows that he has to create distance to recover! Impact slides himself in!
Jake Mercer: BUT AS HE DOES, JOSO JUST LAUNCHED OFF OF THE ROPES AND CAUGHT HIM WITH A SPRINGBOARD 450 SPLASH! BEFORE IMPACT COULD EVEN GET UP TO HIS FEET, THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION GETS HIMSELF BACK INTO THE FRAY AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT JOSO DOES, HE TAKES ADVANTAGE AND HE USES THAT TO HIS BENEFIT!
Stew-O: JOSO GRABS A HOLD OF IMPACT AND BRINGS HIM UP TO HIS FEET, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S SETTING HIM UP HERE! THERE’S NO WAY!
Flannery McCoy: HE MANAGES TO HIT IT! ‘GRATEFUL DEATH’ CONNECTS! ARGENTINA BACKBREAKER INTO THE KNEE LIFT CONNECTS! IMPACT IS COMPLETELY DROPPED DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS NOW AND JOSO IS QUICK TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS! HE ROLLS HIM OVER ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG! HE’S GOING FOR THE PIN! HE KNOWS THAT THIS IS IT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

Jake Mercer: IMPACT KICKS OUT! IMPACT KICKS OUT! THE CROWD IS IN SHOCK AS THEY CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT THEY’RE SEEING RIGHT NOW! THE HALL OF FAMER STILL HAS LIFE LEFT IN HIM! HE STILL HAS MROE IN THE TANK AND JOSO CAN’T BELIEVE HIS EYES!
Stew-O: Well Joso can’t think too hard on it, he’s not going to get another opportunity like this again! He quickly rolls under the bottom rope and onto the apron as he makes his way up to his feet, and now he’s beginning to scale up the turnbuckles! Joso knows that even though Impact kicked out and even though this match continues, he’s going to have to keep the pace up and make sure that he finishes this once and for all.
Flannery McCoy: Joso has his sights completely set on him, as he sets himself up on the top rope. Once again just to emphasize this, Hans Grayson is still down on the outside in front of us, and I don’t think he’s going to be a factor in this match for a bit! Joso has the opportunity now to make this his moment, to retain the World Heavyweight Championship! JOSO LEAPS OFF AS HE GOES FOR A MOONSAULT!
Jake Mercer: WHAT THE HELL?! IMPACT SHOOTS UP TO HIS FEET! HE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CATCHES JOSO WITH A DROPKICK IN MID-AIR! THE CROWD HAS JUST ERUPTED HERE IN CHICAGO! IMPACT HAS A SECOND WIND! IMPACT IS MAKING HIS WAY BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND HE KNOWS IMMEDIATELY WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO!
Stew-O: JOSO IS GETTING BACK UP TO HIS FEET! HE’S CLUTCHING HIS HEAD IN PAIN AS HE HAS NO IDEA WHERE HE IS RIGHT NOW! HE TURNS HIMSELF AROUND AS HE EYES IMPACT WHO IS RUNNING THE ROPES AND BACK!
Flannery McCoy: IMPACT LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH ‘EVISCERATION’! DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER CONNECTS AND JOSO IS COMPLETELY OUT OF IT! IMPACT HAS TAKEN OUT THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION AND NOW HE’S GOING FOR THE PIN!
Jake Mercer: #11REIGNZ! #11REIGNZ!

Jake Mercer: HANS! HOW THE HELL IS HE BACK!
Stew-O: HANS GRAYSON HAS SLID INTO THE RING AND GRABBED THE REFEREE’S ARM BEFORE IT COULD SLAM DOWN TO THE MAT FOR THREE! HANS BARELY PULLS HIMSELF OUT FROM THE WRECKAGE AND SAVES HIS CHANCES IN THIS MATCH! THE CROWD ROARS IN APPROVAL FOR THIS AS IMPACT LOOKS OVER IN COMPLETE SHOCK OF WHAT HE’S WITNESSING RIGHT NOW!
Flannery McCoy: Hans is barely hanging on by a thread right now! He was fighting tooth and nail to keep himself in this match and somehow he managed to save his chances just for a moment! Impact is irate as he makes his way back up to his feet, but his best chance of winning this match is thwarted by Hans!
Jake Mercer: AND IMMEDIATELY HANS SHOOTS UP TO HIS FEET AND NAILS IMPACT WITH A BARRAGE OF FOREARM STRIKES TO THE FACE! IMPACT IS TAKEN ABACK BY THIS AS HE’S PUSHED AGAINST THE ROPES, AND HANS IMMEDIATELY GRABS A HOLD OF HIM BY THE ARM AND SENDS HIM TOWARD THE ROPES WITH AN IRISH WHIP- NO! IMPACT TURNS IT AROUND AND SENDS HANS TO THE ROPES INSTEAD-
Stew-O: ‘EVISCERATION’!
Flannery McCoy: DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER FAILS TO CONNECT! HANS USES HIS UPPER BODY STRENGTH TO KEEP IMPACT UP BEFORE SHOVING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! IMPACT STAGGERS BACKWARD AS HANS TURNS AROUND AND RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK!
Jake Mercer: ‘FLAMING PUNCH’! SUPERMAN PUNCH STRAIGHT TO THE FACE OF IMPACT! IMPACT IS STILL UP THOUGH AS HE DIPS DOWN TO A KNEELING POSITION! AND IMMEDIATELY HANS TRANSITIONS AS HE ROLLS OUT TO THE APRON AND BEGINS TO MAKE HIS WAY UP! IMPACT HAS STAGGERED UP TO HIS FEET AND IT’S TIME!
Stew-O: ‘BURNING SHOT LARIAT’!

Flannery McCoy: CONNECTS!
Jake Mercer: YES! THE ‘FIST OF FURY’ CONNECTS RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE OF HANS!
Stew-O: HANS COLLAPSES DOWN TO THE GROUND AND IMPACT DOES THE SAME AS WELL AND HE KNOWS WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO RIGHT NOW! IMPACT HAS THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF HIM AND IF HE MANAGES TO GET THE PIN OFF, THEN WE COULD VERY WELL BE SEEING THE HALL OF FAMER ADD YET ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP TO HIS CONTINUING LEGACY! IMPACT LUNGES FORWARD AND GOES FOR THE PIN!

Flannery McCoy: JOSO JUST GRABBED IMPACT AROUND THE WAIST AND LIFTED HIM OFF THE PIN INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX! AND HE’S NOT DONE AS HE KIPS UP TO HIS FEET AND SPINS AROUND BEFORE NAILING HIM WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK RIGHT AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!
Jake Mercer: IMPACT IS STILL TRYING TO MAKE HIS WAY UP TO HIS FEET, BUT IMMEDIATELY IS MET WITH A DISCUS LARIAT! JOSO THEN BRINGS HIM UP, SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! IMPACT SHOOTS UP TO HIS FEET AGAIN, ONLY TO BE MET WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW! JOSO SPINS AROUND AND FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK!

Jake Mercer: HANS GRAYSON LEAPS FORWARD AND BREAKS UP THE PIN!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: BUT IT’S TOO LATE! IT’S TOO LATE! JOSO RETAINS! JOSO IS STILL THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
(‘2024’ begins to play up once more to an eruption of cheers from the crowd. An exhausted and disheveled Joso is seen slowly rolling himself off of the bodies of both Hans and Impact as he slowly stirs upward to a seated position. Hans Grayson, barely conscious, is in shock at what just happened as the referee makes their way over and hands Joso the World Heavyweight Championship. He quickly makes his way up to his feet as he raises it into the air, the crowd continuing to show their support while he does.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… AND STILL!!!!!!!!!! THE EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!! JOOOOOSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: JOSO HAS DONE IT! Despite everything, despite being face-to-face with two of Friday Night Dynasty’s very best and them both laying it all on the line, he somehow managed to come in at the very last moment and get a victory at their expense! With a second World Championship defense under his belt, he has established that he is not only one of the best around but that he’s heading into 2025 with a vengeance!
Jake Mercer: Graysonites and Karl Impact enthusiasts, it was not our night. But this is well-deserved regardless. Joso took advantage of the bubbling hatred between Hans and Impact and used that to his advantage, sneaking in when they least expected it and snatching it right underneath their noses.
Stew-O: I feel like this won’t be the last time for either of them. Hans Grayson has a bright future ahead of him and I wouldn’t be surprised if he keeps performances like this up that he’ll be in line for another opportunity just like this one, and you never know if he’ll change the narrative surrounding him or not. The same can be said for Impact, who has been prominent in the World Heavyweight Championship picture since his return, the chase for being a record-breaking 11-time World Champion never ends and he knows that. But obviously they’re going to have to put those ambitions on ice for Joso.
Flannery McCoy: Congratulations to our World Heavyweight Champion on retaining his title!
(Joso is seen on the top rope, raising his World Heavyweight Championship high into the air as the Chicago crowd continues to show their support. Meanwhile, Hans and Impact are on opposite sides of the ringside area, with Hans seated against one of the barricades in complete disappointment, while Impact is already storming out of there. The last shot seen is Joso dropping under the bottom rope and making his way out of the ring, high-fiving fans in the front row as King of Elite then proceeds to fade to elsewhere.)
(KOE match graphic flashes across the screen as the fans erupt in excitement.)

Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: AND IT IS FOR THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘My War’ by Shinsei Kamattechan hits the PA system into an explosive cheer from the crowd! Tonight, there’s no divided support because everyone is behind the challenger. Bronson Daniels makes his way out, but he’s not here to play to the fans as he’s locked in, on the fight ahead. Bronson marches straight down the ramp, enters the ring, and rips off his entrance gear like it’s nothing as he’s wasting no time in getting himself ready for battle.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THE CHALLENGER!…. FROM COCOA BEACH, FLORIDA!… WEIGHING IN AT 190 POUNDS!…. THE EMPEROR!… BRONSONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!… DANIELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Look at the way Bronson is moving tonight! Once the pen hit the paper during the go-home week of Showdown, he earned every right to rip the champion’s head off and reclaim the crown as his own!
Eve: He’s been waiting for this moment. Just look at his eyes! They’re filled with vengeance, with rage, with every emotion that translates his anger toward the champion. Bronson had everything stolen from him, but tonight, at King of Elite, he’s taking it all back!
Deadprez: Bronson has been treated unfairly by Donovan Duke. I get what the contract meant, but it still doesn’t change the fact that he was robbed. Tonight, Bronson Daniels is here to take back everything that rightfully belongs to him including the last laugh that Donovan Duke stole from him. He’s not leaving without IT!
(Once Bronson is already in the ring, roaming around and looking toward the stage, ‘Enemy’ by From Ashes to New hits signaling the arrival of Donovan Duke who is gripping the EAW Answers World Championship in his right hand walking out to the stage. Duke walks out with his eyes locked on Bronson. Daniels attempts to leave the ring hastily, but the referee intervenes, preventing his exit but Duke who is already fired up and ready for a fight, looks as though he’s prepared to go after Daniels as well, but the referee steps in to restore order.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THE CHAMPION!… FROM STILLWATER, OKLAHOMA!… WEIGHING IN AT 212 POUNDS!… HE’S THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!… DEVIOUS & DEBONAIR!!!!!!… DONOVANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!… DUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Truly an all-time heist that night! Bronson was robbed at Road to Redemption, and yet he failed to seize another opportunity by falling short in the King of Elite, missing his chance at a shot for the Answers World Championship. All of this happened because Donovan Duke kept taking opportunities and ruining them for Bronson Daniels!
Eve: But it’s not as if the champion is backing down from this competition either. He’s already here, strapped up and ready for war, determined to secure his first title defense tonight. However, it won’t be easy, as he stands opposite the man who has truly put in the work to earn that championship unlike Donovan Duke who used the briefcase to take everything away from him!
(Donovan continues his approach, making his way up the apron before stepping into the ring. Seeing Duke enter, Daniels takes a seat in the corner, his eyes locked on his opponent, signaling his readiness for battle. Taking the cue, Donovan hands the championship to the referee and moves to his corner as he’s preparing himself for the match immediately.)
Deadprez: We are about to find out whether Donovan can prove that he truly deserves this championship and his place at the top of the world by kicking off his reign with a victory over a two-time former world champion or will Bronson expose him here tonight? It all starts NOW!
(DING DING DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: BELL RINGS, AND THERE’S NO MORE TIME TO WASTE FOR BOTH MEN!!!!!! TWO RAGING BULLS CHARGE TOWARD EACH OTHER AT THE CENTER OF THE RING AND CONNECT EACH OTHER WITH SOME NASTY LARIATS!!!!! But that doesn’t slow them down! Donovan throws a right hand, followed by a back right hand from Bronson immediately! Both are throwing fists and tantrums translating their hatred toward each other through their bare hands!
Eve: They’re going right at it, and there’s no sign of stopping anytime soon! Two men who hate each other to their very core are going at it! Bronson continues throwing hands, as does Donovan Duke, who is still going at it as well! Are they about to keep this up for hours? How long are these two going to keep hitting each other?!
Deadprez: Just as you asked that, the challenger begins gaining the advantage in this match against the champion as Bronson’s fists grow stronger in offense and now pushing Donovan back with each step he takes!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke has been pushed to the ropes, and Daniels is still going at it! Duke stumbles, and now Bronson grabs him, REPEATEDLY DRIVING A MUAY THAI KNEE INTO HIS FACE!!!!!!! KNEE, KNEE, AND KNEE WITH EACH SHOT CONNECTING WITH DONOVAN’S FACE!!!!
Eve: That’s showing just how much Bronson is fueled by rage towards the champion right now! Duke has been pushed close to the ropes means LUCKILY the champion has managed to avoid the knees that keep coming. The referee has to step in and try to separate Bronson from the champion. Bronson continues driving the knee in over and over while the referee counts!
Referee: (Off-Mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! Come on, Bronson! Cut it out!
Deadprez: And the challenger is still desperately trying to put his arch-nemesis out by driving the knee to his face over and over, while the referee is trying to push him away! Bronson is grabbed by the referee before he swats him away and walks toward Donovan… WHO QUICKLY KNOCKS HIS CHALLENGER BACK WITH A SUPERKICK!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Daniels stumbles toward the center of the ring, holding his chin after being struck by the champion’s boot! Duke quickly seizes the advantage, rebounding off the ropes behind him and leaping toward Daniels TO TAKE HIM DOWN WITH A HEADSCISSORS TAKEDOWN!!!!
Eve: But Daniels doesn’t follow the plan Duke has in mind, holding onto Duke’s legs as he tries to hook him down…. DANIELS THEN MUSTERS HIS PHYSICAL STRENGTH TO LIFT DONOVAN UP FOR THE POWERBOMB!!!!!
Deadprez: Didn’t connect as Bronson leaped off the powerbomb and landed right behind Donovan’s back! Daniels swings for the Hook Kick from behind, but Duke narrowly ducks underneath and turns towards Bronson for the Bicycle Kick. Bronson catches the leg and spins Duke around… RUNNING TOWARDS HIM AS BRONSON GOES FOR MICKEY I KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: AVOID! Duke instead ducks underneath that brutal shot of swining back elbow, lifting Bronson right onto his shoulders! The champ may be looking to counter the brutal finishing blow with one of his own signatures as DONOVAN SETS UP FOR CHANGE OF HEART!!!!! HE’S GOT BRONSON IN FIREMAN’S CARRY POSITION, LOOKING TO APPLY THE SIDEWALK SLAM AFTER!!!!
Eve: Slipping down from his shoulders to behind, Bronson quickly seizes Donovan’s arm into the abdominal position before using a pointed elbow, repeatedly jamming it into Donovan’s head after escaping the Change of Heart this time!
Deadprez: Daniels has been dancing to the same tune with his striking offense so far, but at the same time, each shot translates his true sentiment for the champion right now, and you can see it! EACH SHOT JUST GETTING HARDER AND HARDER THE MORE HE HITS DONOVAN!!!!! BAM!!!! AGAIN!!!! AND AGAIN!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Daniels now stops himself from delivering more elbows and turns around to change his tactics as Bronson harshly delivers a falling elbow smash across the jaw of the champion, sending him stumbling toward the ropes!… BEFORE BRONSON DASHES IN AND NAILS ANOTHER ONE, PUTTING DONOVAN BACK TO THE GROUND!!!! MY GOD!!!!! You couldn’t imagine how hard that blow was; it’s making Donovan Duke look like a dog being walked around right now!
Eve: He’s brutally punishing Donovan Duke at the moment. For all he has done, for the glory and the moments that Donovan has taken away from him, Bronson is out for vengeance right now and he’s aimed to beat Donovan while he’s already down! Daniels has Donovan facing him and begins to rain down his forearms to the jaw! Forearm after forearm… AND ANOTHER HARD ONE THAT SEEMS TO HAVE KNOCKED THE LIGHTS OUT OF DONOVAN!!!!
Deadprez: Referee is trying to stop Bronson this time, just like earlier, but Bronson is already set on brutally hurting Donovan as much as he can! Bronson is still going at it! More forearms connected with the champion, and each shot becomes more stiff and personal towards Donovan! Donovan seems like he’s already knocked out; someone might have to stop this!
Bronson Daniels: (Off-Mic) You stole everything from me and now you’re the one paying the price for your crime!
Deadprez: BRONSON GOES FOR ANOTHER FOREARM–
Gavin Kirkland: OH NO!!!! HE’S DROPPED RIGHT INTO THE TRAP!!!! DONOVAN CATCHES THE FOREARM THIS TIME AND SWIFTLY LOCKS IN A TRIANGLE CHOKE ON BRONSON DANIELS!!!!! Duke let his challenger’s emotions get the better of him and seized the opportunity to capitalize!
Eve: Despite his unapologetic and ruthless nature since Road to Redemption, you can’t deny the sharp in-ring intelligence that still runs through his veins! THE TRIANGLE CHOKE IS CINCHED IN TIGHT, AND DANIELS IS CAUGHT IN A RELENTLESS HOLD!!!!!
Deadprez: The triangle choke remains locked in, and Daniels’ window for air is rapidly closing as Donovan tightens his grip as he’s looking to squeeze the life out of him with even more relentless pressure! The hold only intensifies as it’s fueled by the damage Daniels has already inflicted with those brutal striking shots but now, the situation is only worsening for the challenger!
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan is doing whatever it takes to diminish Bronson’s chances of reclaiming the title! The triangle choke is slowly but surely draining Daniels, wearing him down with every passing second!.. DANIELS LOOKS LIKE HE’S BEGINNING TO FADE!!!!! This one might just be the key for Donovan Duke to secure victory! He’s giving everything he has to put him away!
Eve: But if that’s not enough, the champion has even more punishment in store! He’s now targeting Daniels’ joints, stretching them while keeping the hold locked in! OH MY GOD, THAT’S BRUTAL!!!!
Deadprez: He’s wrenching Daniels’ fingers apart, trying to contort the very structure of his bones! Donovan is absolutely ruthless! He’s SICK! HE’S NOT JUST CHOKING THE AIR OUT OF HIM! HE’S EVEN ATTEMPTING TO SNAP THE VERY BONES IN HIS HAND WHILE KEEPING THE SUBMISSION HOLD INTACT!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: And now that Bronson realizing he’s in a dangerous position, he quickly rolls back to his feet allowing the submission to continue in motion! Duke is just about to wrench his hand even further, threatening to snap the bone in half and BRONSON INTERRUPTS THE PROCESS BY SWINGING HIS FREE HAND!!!! AND IT CONNECTS!!!! A DIRECT, CRUSHING RIGHT HOOK TO DUKE’S FACE!!!!
Eve: Bronson isn’t stopping there… ANOTHER STIFF SHOT LANDS, EVEN HARDER THIS TIME! THE IMPACT IS FINALLY FORCING DONOVAN TO LOOSEN HIS GRIP LITTLE BY LITTLE!!!!!! Bronson breaks free from the hold, rolling backward to his feet while clutching the hand that was nearly wrenched apart earlier. Duke pushes himself off the mat, quickly regaining his footing… DUKE CHARGES FORWARD AS HE’S LOOKING TO LEVEL BRONSON WITH A RUNNING LARIAT!!!!!
Deadprez: Bronson quickly grabs the rope with one hand, pulling it down and causing the champion to trip and fall over the ropes to the outside! Duke is now positioned at ringside, with Bronson still holding onto his arm. Daniels quickly runs down towards the ropes, rebounds off them, and rushes at full throttle towards Donovan!… DANIELS TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A BOTTOM ROPE SUICIDE DIVE!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: And that doesn’t end well for the challenger, as the champion catches him on the outside, keeping him upright on both feet… AND DONOVAN UNLEASHES HIS RAW POWER RAGDOLLING DANIELS WITH AN OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX STRAIGHT INTO THE RING POST!!!! GOOD GOD!!!!! That was a vicious landing for Bronson to endure! All credit goes to the sheer brutality Donovan just poured into that devastating suplex!
Eve: That’s one way to throw yourself down a self destructive path because with the challenger already set on dismantling him, Donovan Duke realizes he must tap into his own killer instinct to survive as well! Bronson is writhing in pain from that brutal suplex, his spine crashing against the steel post. And now… DONOVAN ISN’T LETTING UP! HE YANKS BRONSON UP BY THE HAIR AND SLAMS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD INTO THE RING POST!!!!!!!
(CLANK!!!! CLANK!!!! CLANK!!!! CLANK!!!! CLANK!!!! CLANK!!!!)
Deadprez: Ugh! GOSH!!!! That sickening impact can be heard as Donovan delivers each throwing blow! Every shot lands harder and heavier as if the champion is looking to knock him unconscious! This man is absolutely UNHINGED!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Like you said, Prez, he’s a sick man ready to do sick things to pick up a win in this match! We’ve seen the examples made with Ryan Wilson, and in this match, Bronson Daniels is absolutely no exception!
Eve: Bronson gets pulled to his feet and tossed back into the ring after dealing damage using the steel post. The champion follows him back inside the ring. Bronson is seen holding his head, in an absolutely miserable state, before the champion grabs him, pulls him to his feet, and lifts him high into the air!… FOR THE SPINEBUSTER AT THE CENTER OF THE RING!!!! Donovan Duke with the Spinebuster drives Bronson back first into the ground and goes for the cover!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Eve: LIFTING HIS SHOULDER OFF THE GROUND AT A TWO COUNT, BRONSON REMAINS ALIVE AFTER ALL THOSE RUTHLESS ASSAULTS! After what he has been through, it’s not enough to put Bronson Daniels down at all! Not even close! There are still miles ahead on the champion’s path to walk, and this won’t be easy to overcome!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke begins getting back to his feet and delivers a right forearm, clubbing the side of Daniels’ head as he pulls him back into a seated position… THEN HE CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER RUTHLESS SHOT OF THE FOREARM TO THE BACK OF DANIELS’ HEAD, LEAVING HIM LAID OUT JUST LIKE THAT!!!!!
Donovan Duke: (Off-Mic) I don’t have anything to pay, but YOU are the one that going to pay for all these weeks you’ve been bothering me with pitiful reasons!
Gavin Kirkland: AND OH!!!! Duke picks him up to his feet just to land another forearm shot across the back of his head! Duke is getting his payback, and he’s already paid more than just in full! Right now, he’s doing a little extra for his own benefit!
Deadprez: Daniels is already incapable of standing as Duke offers a helping hand and drags him back to his feet. Duke now seizes the leg… LOOKING FOR THE NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX but Bronson lands a sudden back elbow to the side of his neck, pushing him off!
Eve: The Champ stumbles back from the unexpected back elbow and Daniels quickly follows with a Palm Strike to the back once he pushes Donovan off! Duke is unfazed and turns around, trying to swing a back elbow! Daniels ducks underneath and quickly turns around, swinging for a leg kick, putting Donovan in a vulnerable position… AND DANIELS NAILS HIM WITH A SPINNING ENZUIGIRI KICK, KNOCKING HIM DOWN TO BOTH KNEES COMPLETELY!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Daniels isn’t done yet, and he’s quickly trying to pick up the pace despite the pain still lingering and trying to wear him down! Duke is stunned and already on his knees!… A HOOK KICK FROM BRONSON CONNECTS WITH DONOVAN!!! But it’s not over yet! Bronson still has more left in his arsenal for Donovan as he charges to the ropes and rebounds off them!… BANG!!! BASEMENT METEORA!!! BRONSON WITH THE BASEMENT METEORA ON DONOVAN, AND HE DROPS RIGHT INTO A COVER!!!! THE LEG IS HOOKED!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Eve: DONOVAN DUKE KICKS OUT AT TWO!!!!!!!! Just as he’s able to gain some advantage over Donovan, the champ is still kicking and alive, but you can tell how weak those shots are since Bronson is hitting them urgently, just trying to wear down the champion and find some openings.
Deadprez: At the moment, Bronson is still trying to regain some consciousness after everything he’s been through here. Duke is seen crawling toward the ropes and begins using them to pull himself back to his feet slowly. Bronson, who caught up with him, forces Donovan to lean back against the ropes once he approaches him… AND BRONSON DELIVERS A SHARP ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO HIS CHEST!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke stumbles away from the kick, and Bronson follows up, now CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER KICK AS DUKE PLACES HIMSELF IN THE CORNER!!!! The champion is in a bad spot, which means it’s the challenger’s chance to strike back!
Eve: Bronson is seen holding his head back a little to clear his mind and now walks back to pick Donovan up to his feet again, stepping back… BEFORE YET AGAIN, BRONSON DELIVERS ANOTHER ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO HIS CHEST!!!!!
Deadprez: Challenger is on a roll right now, while the champion is struggling against him. Donovan is seen trying to fix his stance at the corner while grabbing the ropes. Bronson takes a step back from Donovan and begins charging toward him… RUNNING TOWARDS DONOVAN TO MEET HIM AT THE CORNER!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Seems like Bronson is looking for a running attack, but Duke avoids it and moves out of the corner, causing Daniels to pull a break in front of the corner. Duke switches things up, taking the opportunity to bring Daniels down on his own, but he’s caught with a right boot from Daniels that connects with his jaw!
Eve: Duke is pushed away by the kick, not looking to retaliate as he approaches Bronson immediately after recovering BUT BRONSON CATCHES HIM IN THE SAME SPOT WITH THE HOOK KICK!!!! A hard kick hits Donovan twice, and Bronson looks to follow up with another striking maneuver as he leaps off the bottom rope… DOWN GOES THE CHAMP!!!!! BRONSON KNOCKS DONOVAN DOWN WITH A SPRINGBOARD ENZUIGIRI KICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Duke has been taken down this time, and it’s still the challenger’s turn to take control here! Bronson leans back against the corner and slowly moves across the ropes, making his way to the top! Donovan is down, giving Bronson enough time to set up and hit this!… FROG SPLASH!!!!! HE HITS IT!!!! BRONSON HOOKS THE LEG FOR A COVER!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Deadprez: AND THE CHAMPION POWERS OUT AT TWO!!!!!! Donovan is trying to stay ahead in this match, not allowing himself to be put down by the Frog Splash that Bronson just landed on him, but Bronson isn’t done yet. He pulls himself to his feet, along with Donovan, and DELIVERS A HARD FALLING ELBOW, PUTTING HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE SAME EXACT SPOT WHERE DONOVAN HAD JUST BEEN LAID OUT BY THE FROG SPLASH!!!! NASTY!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: It’s only going to get more disrespectful from here because that’s exactly what Bronson intends to do. Morals are being set aside now that everything is locked in his sights, and he’s looking to tear down the sandcastle that Donovan Duke has built tonight! Bronson holds Donovan’s head and begins rising to his feet as well. Donovan, still holding his jaw from the earlier elbow strike, slowly starts to rise. Bronson places his hand under the champ’s chin, lifting him to his feet… AND BRONSON CONNECTS WITH A BLISTERING CHOP ACROSS HIS CHEST!!!!!!!!
Eve: That one chop across his chest is definitely something Donovan is feeling through his veins! Bronson now walks toward the champion, who stumbles from the force of the assault, and slowly presses him against the ropes while grabbing his wrist. Bronson sends him flying toward the ropes, but Donovan isn’t looking to follow through with his plan as he uses both arms to hold onto the ropes and pulls the break!
Deadprez: Daniels quickly rushes toward the champion, only to be booted across his jaw, sending him back to the center of the ring! Now, Duke takes control as he turns Daniels around, presses him against the ropes, and sends him flying to the opposite side of the ring! DUKE STEPS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK AT THE CENTER OF THE RING!… BUT BRONSON GETS BACK TO HIS FEET LIKE IT’S NOTHING!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Daniels’ eyes widen as he feels the fire beneath his soul! He’s asking for more as DONOVAN SWINGS FOR THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK ACROSS HIS JAW, STUNNING BRONSON IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!! Bronson is worn out from the hard kick that landed across his head, giving Donovan the chance to turn back and head to the ropes… DUKE REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES, BUT BRONSON IMMEDIATELY CATCHES DONOVAN WITH A SPANISH FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE HOOKS THE LEG!!!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: AND STILL TWO COUNTS!!!!! DONOVAN DUKE KICKS OUT!!!!!! That dropkick and the following kick feel like nothing right now, as Bronson isn’t looking to stay down easily!
Eve: Duke is pulled back to his feet as Bronson clears his head and prepares to continue the match. Bronson stands in front of Donovan, then runs off the ropes… BRONSON REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES FOR CELESTIAL WHIRLWIND!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: GERMAN SUPLEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bronson tries to turn things around with a Handspring Kardiak Kick, but Donovan uses the handspring rebound against him, driving Bronson’s head first into the ground with a well-executed German Suplex!
Gavin Kirkland: Daniels falls into a vulnerable state after the German Suplex connects but Donovan isn’t ready to let him off the hook! Donovan rolls back to his feet, still holding Bronson in the same position as before… BEFORE LANDING ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX!!!! ONE AFTER ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEXES!!!!!
Eve: But he’s still not done! Bronson is seated for the trip to Suplex City! Donovan gets to his feet once again and still has Bronson in the same position… JUST TO HIT THE THIRD GERMAN SUPLEX ON BRONSON DANIELS!!!! WHAT AN ABSOLUTE BEAST OF AN ATHLETE DESPITE THE SIZE!!!!!!!!!!! DONOVAN BRIDGES THE GERMAN SUPLEX INTO A PINFALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: BRONSON DANIELS POWERS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But that isn’t stopping Donovan Duke from hurting his opponent further! Now he’s going to work on the arm right after the kickout!
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan Duke had already planned to work on it after the kickout as he begins to apply the Fujiwara Armbar! Duke applies the Fujiwara Armbar in a seated stance while Bronson is already down!
Deadprez: He’s looking to beat Bronson while he’s down again! He’s taking every opportunity to seize the day over his opponent! The Fujiwara Armbar is locked in, and it’s likely targeting the same arm that Donovan was trying to bend earlier in this match!
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson’s joints are being brutalized once again! These tactics Donovan Duke is applying will only get harsher from here as those fingers are being bent! Ah, stop focusing on those wrenched fingers! It’s already painful for us to watch them being dislocated!
Eve: OH GOD!!!! AND AGAIN!!!! Donovan Duke is already trying to put Bronson through sheer misery as he attempts to snap those joints apart while applying the Fujiwara Armbar! The pain Bronson is enduring is beyond words that no description could fully capture it! His cries of agony are just as excruciating as the punishment Donovan Duke is inflicting on him right now!
Deadprez: BUT IT ISN’T STOPPING THERE, HE’S GOING THROUGH EACH OF BRONSON’S FINGERS, TRYING TO SNAP THEM APART ONE BY ONE!!!!!! If those joints don’t function properly, his entire arm becomes useless, leaving Bronson with absolutely no defense! He’s desperately trying to move toward the ropes, but the sheer pain is too much to bear! Donovan Duke isn’t playing around, especially after realizing that Bronson tried to beat him down like a dog!
Gavin Kirkland: And while we’re focusing on how far Donovan Duke is willing to go, BRONSON DANIELS’ LEG HAS JUST REACHED THE BOTTOM ROPE! Duke is still going at it, while Bronson looks completely drained after enduring all this pain! Duke tries to go for his arm again, but the referee steps in, forcing him to release his challenger. Duke eventually steps back, watching as Bronson drowns in his sorrow!
Referee: (Off-Mic) Hey, that’s enough! Next time, I’ll disqualify you without any further warning.
Donovan Duke: (Off-Mic) Then don’t tell me when to stop, I KNOW WHEN TO STOP! SHUT UP AND DO YOUR JOB!
Eve: Bronson is now seen clutching his arm after it has been torn apart, looking completely dysfunctional after the punishment he’s endured. Duke gets to his feet as he’s showing no intention of letting Bronson recover as he drags him toward the center of the ring! …AND DUKE TARGETS THE SAME HAND HE JUST MANIPULATED BY STOMPING ON IT HARD!!!!!!! BRONSON’S BONES MIGHT BE SHATTERED AT THIS POINT!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: OH, COME ON! THIS IS JUST TOO MUCH! Duke has one foot pressing down on Bronson’s hand and is now repeatedly stomping on it! He has no intention of letting Bronson escape easily! He’s looking to punish him as much as possible! The crowd is absolutely fed up with the champion’s merciless actions!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Donovan Duke: (Off-Mic) YEAH! BOO ME! HATE ME! You cheered and supported me when I was at my lowest, but now you’ve all turned your backs on me! You hate me when I’m at my peak!
Deadprez: AND ONE LAST STOMP ON HIS HAND!
Donovan Duke: (Off-Mic) Look at him! Look at your favorite now! Look at your hero! He looks like my goddamn bitch just like I made Ryan Wilson become one! All his false promises led to this, and it only proves that I was right about him all along!
Eve: OH! Donovan just SLAPPED the taste out of Bronson’s mouth the moment he turned back and saw Bronson trying to get to his feet! And just like that, Bronson’s face hits the mat once again!
Donovan Duke: (Off-Mic) You still have the guts to get up and face me, huh? Maybe what I did in front of your girl wasn’t enough, right? I’ve already taken her out of the equation psychologically and emotionally… I’m not afraid to replay that same nightmare again!
Gavin Kirkland: And he’s still going at it! Those slaps keep coming, provoking Bronson again and again! But even though it seems that way, that’s not Donovan’s intention, he’s trying to make Bronson feel exactly what he felt! AND NOW A BRUTAL BOOT THRUSTS ACROSS HIS JAW!!!!!
Donovan Duke: (Off-Mic) GET YOUR ASS UP!!!!
Eve: OH!!!!!! A SUDDEN SPIKE HURRICANRANA FROM BRONSON DRIVES DONOVAN HEADFIRST INTO THE MAT!!! The bad guy just got caught off guard as he’s stumbling into the corner clutching his head!
Deadprez: Bronson’s eyes are filled with absolute rage as he holds his arm and turns toward Donovan! …DONOVAN TRIES TO PUSH HIMSELF OUT OF THE CORNER, BUT HE’S IMMEDIATELY SHOVED BACK WITH A HARD ROLLING AXE KICK CONNECTS WITH FULL FORCE!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan is now seen lying against the middle rope after taking that perfectly placed kick, looking completely laid out! Bronson rises to his feet, still clutching his injured hand in pain, before sprinting toward Donovan from behind! …AND BRONSON HITS A TIGER FEINT KICK SENDING THE CHAMPION CRASHING BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING!!!!!
Eve: Fans are getting their energy back, completely fired up by the action unfolding in this match! Bronson is on the verge of reclaiming his moment! Despite still clutching his injured arm, Bronson makes his way to the top rope! Now standing tall, it looks like he’s preparing for another high risk dive!… FLYING BRONSONS FROM THE TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE HITS IT!!!! DIVING SHOOTING STAR PRESS ON DONOVAN!!!!! BRONSON COVERS!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
Eve: KICK OUT!!!!!!!!!!! DONOVAN KICKS OUT AT TWO!!!!!!
Deadprez: AND NOW THE STF!!!!!! HERE WE GO!!! THE STF IS LOCKED IN!!!!!!! Bronson wastes no time trapping the champion in the STF submission hold right after the kick out! The hold is cinched in tight as Donovan Duke is completely trapped with barely any room to breathe! Is this it for Donovan? Can Bronson Daniels make him pass out??!?!?
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan may have the strength of a champion keeping his spirit alive in this match, but can he withstand the punishment Bronson Daniels is inflicting right now? The STF is locked in, and it’s only getting tighter the more Donovan resists! Daniels is fully focused as he’s refusing to let Donovan off the hook easily!
Eve: Donovan desperately crawls and scratches his way toward the ropes, but the impact of the Flying Bronson he took earlier has left him with barely any strength to muster! How is Donovan Duke going to survive this critical moment?! Bronson Daniels STILL has the STF locked in tight and there’s nowhere for Donovan to go! He’s stuck here with Bronson until Bronson pries that championship away from him!
Deadprez: AND IT’S STILL GOING! Bronson Daniels isn’t going to let the champion off the hook that easily! Donovan is inching closer to the ropes, but his movements are slowing down!m HE MIGHT PASS OUT BEFORE HE EVEN MAKES IT! Crowd is on the edge of their seats as they are ready to celebrate as Donovan Duke’s downfall comes into clear view!….
(…….)
Gavin Kirkland: JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT IT WAS OVER, DONOVAN BARELY MAKES IT TO THE ROPE!!!!! But Bronson keeps the hold locked in for a moment longer before finally releasing it as he’s COMPLETELY exhausted. Bronson collapses right next to Donovan Duke, who has already endured an unbearable amount of pain from that submission hold! Both men are down!
Eve: Crowd erupts in loud boos despite Donovan’s efforts to break the hold. Normally, they would cheer for his fighting spirit, but tonight, they despise him for everything he’s done! The EAW Universe is fully behind Bronson Daniels’ redemption tour, and all around Donovan are nothing but enemies! Bronson, still extremely tired, slowly pushes himself to his feet and makes his way toward the corner.
Deadprez: His right arm is clearly still hurting from the torture he endured earlier, but he refuses to back down! He’s going to see this through! Taking aim at Donovan, who can barely see the light right now, Bronson sets his sights on the finish!
Gavin Kirkland: The Emperor is stalking from behind, and Daniels is ready to end this and take the title back home!… MICKEY, I KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: NARROWLY AVOIDED! Bronson gets to his feet and turns around, looking for the swinging back elbow once again—but Donovan catches him with a Bicycle Kick straight to his injured arm, adding even more pain! Bronson tries again, but this time, Donovan grabs hold of his arm, turning him upside down… FOR THE VERTEBREAKER!!! OH MY GOD!!! THE BACK OF BRONSON’S NECK ARE DRIVEN HARD INTO THE CANVAS!!!
Deadprez: Duke just seized a massive advantage! Even though that wasn’t one of his signature moves, the champion knows he has Bronson exactly where he wants him! Duke drags Bronson back to his feet and sets him up in a powerbomb position… DONOVAN PLANTS BRONSON WITH FALL FROM GRACE!!!!!!!!! THE ALLEY OOP FACEBUSTER DRIVES BRONSON DANIELS FACE FIRST INTO THE MAT!!!!!!!! DONOVAN DUKE COVERS!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!—
Eve: BRONSON DANIELS KICKS OUT AT TWO AS WELL!!!!!!!! And that almost feels like a command for Donovan to finish the job! After Bronson kicks out, Donovan is sent rolling off the failed pinfall attempt, crawling toward the ropes and down onto the apron!
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson is already in a vulnerable state, struggling to grab the ropes as he slowly pulls himself back to his feet. He remains laid out on the mat, while Duke eventually pushes himself up as he’s ready to strike!…. DONOVAN FLIES OFF LOOKING FOR SPRINGBOARD GENESIS DIVE!!!! THE 450 SPLASH!!!!!!
Deadprez: RIGHT ONTO HIS KNEES!!!! Daniels lifts both knees high into the air, and Donovan comes crashing down onto them, taking a brutal hit to the midsection! The failed landing leaves the champion clutching his stomach in agony!
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson slowly gets to his feet after countering the attack, while Donovan is left vulnerable, his guard completely down which opens the door for the challenger to strike back!… BRONSON WITH THE GODBREAKER ON DONOVAN DUKE!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: NO! THE CODEBREAKER DOESN’T CONNECT! Donovan, fighting through the pain, quickly counters with a double leg takedown, bringing Bronson down with him! He grabs hold of Bronson’s leg ATTEMPTING TO LOCK IN THE ANKLE LOCK!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: But Bronson frantically shakes him off, forcing Duke to lose control and stumble backward! Daniels scrambles to his feet and rushes toward the ropes… LOOKING TO REBOUND FOR CELESTIAL WHIRLWIND!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: OH NO! HE TRIPS! His weakened hand, still aching from being bent earlier, doesn’t have the strength to hold his ground! The pain is too much to bear, and Bronson collapses back into a vulnerable state!
Eve: Duke is seen smiling slightly! He knows his plan has worked perfectly and now he quickly rushes behind Bronson, who has just collapsed to the mat… AND TRIES TO PICK HIM UP FOR A DRAGON SUPLEX!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: But Bronson, using his uninjured arm, suddenly sends Donovan rolling across the mat! A smart move by The Emperor to handle the situation! Duke quickly scrambles back to his feet, trying to rush in again but Bronson quickly counters with a sliding leg sweep, taking the champion down to his knees! …AND DANIELS SPRINGS OFF THE MAT WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP RIGHT INTO DONOVAN’S SPINE!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: AVOIDED YET AGAIN! Duke moves out of the way just in time to avoid the stomp, sending Bronson rolling forward! He quickly tries to catch him with a schoolboy roll-up, but too much momentum causes Daniels to roll right back to his feet instead!
Eve: Duke reaches for Bronson but Bronson counters with a sharp Sole Kick… and follows up with a brutal head kick, forcing the champion to come face to face with him! And now Bronson spins back, looking for a discus lariat BUT DUKE CUTS HIM OFF WITH A DOUBLE AXE HANDLE TO THE ARM!!!!!!…. AND BRONSON IMMEDIATELY RESPONDS FROM BEHIND WITH A HOOK KICK AND IT CONNECTS RIGHT ON THE CHAMPION!!!!!!
Deadprez: Donovan isn’t done yet! He turns around, going for a second wind attempt at a lariat—but Bronson blocks the incoming arm with his knee and NAILS HIM WITH ANOTHER HOOK KICK, SPINNING DONOVAN AROUND!!!…. DUKE REFUSES TO STAY DOWN AS HE FLIPS OVER FOR A PELE KICK!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT BRONSON, HAVING LEARNED TO AVOID THAT MOVE FROM TLA, SIDESTEPS TO THE SIDE AND MOVES TO THE FRONT, FACING DONOVAN HEAD ON!…. AND BRONSON CONNECTS WITH A THIRD HOOK KICK IN A ROW!!!! That’s a barrage of hook kicks connecting with Duke! He’s barely got any fight left in him after taking all that punishment! Bronson leans back for a moment before charging toward the ropes as he’s rebounding with full momentum—
Eve: DUKE OUT OF NOWHERE DESPERATELY HITS THE SPEAR!!!!! THE SPEAR CUTS DANIELS DOWN IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!!! THE CHAMP IMMEDIATLY DROPS INTO A COVER!!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!—
(…….)
(…….)
(…….)
Eve: OH NO!!! NO!!! THAT’S TWO!!! BRONSON DANIELS KICKS OUT!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: But that means absolutely nothing to Donovan Duke! He’s already in beast mode! He slams his head against the mat, letting out a primal scream as the crowd rains down boos on him!
Deadprez: Bronson Daniels still looks completely spent after that spear! Duke now grabs his challenger, dragging him back to his feet! Time to end this!… AND THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK IS APPLIED!!!… RUIN AND DEMISE!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: NOT HAPPENING! Bronson shifts his weight to the side, slipping out of the champion’s grasp and landing on his feet! Daniels quickly twists his arm free… INTO THE CHROME HEARTS KICK!!!!!! IT CONNECTS IMMEDIATELY!!!! THE SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK DROPPING THE CHAMPION TO THE MAT!!!!!! HE FINALLY HITS ONE OF HIS BIG MOVES!!!!!
Eve: BRONSON FINALLY LANDS ONE OF HIS SIGNATURE KICKS, AND IT HITS DONOVAN WITH FULL FORCE!!!!! THE CHAMPION GOES DOWN AS IF STRUCK BY LIGHTNING!!!!! Daniels scrambles back to his feet, ready to finish this! He’s picking a bone back with Donovan and looking to put him away for good!… SAVAGE MODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(….)
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT! SOMEONE’S ON THE APRON TRYING TO GET INTO THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S HARPER LEE!
Deadprez: Lee is trying to get into the ring, distracting Bronson long enough for him to swat her away along with the referee!
Eve: But Lee refuses to back down! She hops off the apron only to climb right back up—OH!!! JON KELTON!!! HE JUST TOOK LEE DOWN WITH FINAL ATONEMENT AT RINGSIDE!!! YES!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson turns around… DEALER’S CHOICE! DUKE TRIES TO KNOCK HIM DOWN BUT BRONSON DUCKS UNDERNEATH AND COUNTERS WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!!! Donovan drops to his knees…
Gavin Kirkland: MICKEY, I KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF—
Eve: NO! Wait… what the…
Gavin Kirkland: THEM AGAIN?! IT’S THE SAME MASKED PERSON WHO INTERFERED IN KELTON AND HARPER’S MATCH! THE ONE WHO TOOK OUT CHARLIE MARR WITH A BRUTAL CON-CHAIR-TO! NOW THEY ARE ATTACKING BRONSON DANIELS IN THE RING! WHERE THE HELL IS THE REFEREE?!
Deadprez: He’s still outside, too busy trying to get Harper and Kelton to take their fight elsewhere! He has no idea Bronson is dealing with someone who has no business being here!
Eve: Wait! someone else is coming down the ramp! IT’S MILLI BANKS! BRONSON’S GIRL IS HERE!
Gavin Kirkland: The champion slides into the ring, charging at the masked intruder but they evade her attack and roll out to the floor! The masked figure with incredible agility tries to escape through the crowd, but Milli is right on their heels! They trip over the barricade, scrambling to flee, but Banks is in pursuit, chasing them out of the arena!
Deadprez: Wait a second…. No it can’t be…. It can’t.
Eve: Meanwhile, Duke is back on his feet! He takes advantage of the distraction… **EYE OF THE STORM!!!!!!!** GRAPEVINE DRAGON SLEEPER ON BRONSON!!!!!!!
Deadprez: BUT DANIELS ESCAPES!!!!! He rolls Duke forward, pushing him off! Both men rise to their feet… **DUKE TURNS AROUND INTO MICKEY, I KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF TO THE JAW!!!!!!! IT FINALLY CONNECTS!!!!!!!** THAT’S IT!!!!!!! BRONSON COVERS!!! WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(….)
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
(….)
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(….)
Gavin Kirkland: AND HE HAS DONE IT—
(Suddenly, the referee is yanked out of the ring, sending the crowd into shock.)
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT?!?!!?!?
Eve: ## IT’S SILAS MASON!!!
Deadprez: WHAT THE HELL!? Whatever he’s up to, he’s just made the biggest mistake of his life! He slipped something into the ring and the referee just got to their feel argues with him but we didn’t see what that is!
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson is absolutely pissed AND HE BLASTS THROUGH THE ROPES WITH A SUICIDE DIVE, TAKING MASON OUT!!!!!!
Eve: All distractions finally out of the way, Bronson is ready to end this! He steps back into the ring, locking eyes on Donovan! The champion struggles to his feet, barely holding on AND HERE COMES BRONSON!…. **MICKEY, I KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF!!!!**
Gavin Kirkland: NO!!! BRONSON RUNS RIGHT INTO OLE RELIABLE AND HE’S DOWN!!! Donovan staggers from the impact!… **HE HAD BRASS KNUCKLES!!!!** THAT’S WHAT SILAS SLIPPED HIM!!!!!
Deadprez: Donovan lands a right hook before dragging Bronson back up, barely staying on his feet! DONOVAN DUKE HOISTS HIM UP… **SUPREME VERDICT!!!** THE WIDOW’S PEAK DROPS BRONSON HARD!!!!! THE CHAMPION SCRAMBLES FOR THE COVER!!! HE IS LOOKING TO RETAIN!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(….)
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
(….)
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(….)
(DING DING DING!)
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!… AND STILLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!…. EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!…. DONOVAN DUKE!
Gavin Kirkland: WOW! Despite everything thrown his way, Donovan Duke walks out as champion, thanks to Silas Mason and a night full of chaos! Bronson was completely caught off guard, costing him yet another title victory!
Eve: What truly shocked us all was Silas Mason’s involvement! He just handed Donovan the win, helping him retain the championship! Something is definitely going on here!
Deadprez: Once again, Bronson Daniels has been robbed! And this time, the credit goes to the alliance between Donovan Duke, Harper Lee, and Silas Mason!
(‘Enemy’ by From Ashes to New hits as Silas Mason slowly enters the ring. Bronson, still reeling, is held back by Jon Kelton, who realizes what just happened. Milli Banks rushes out to check on Bronson, while Harper Lee, clutching her ribs, joins Silas and Duke in the ring. The three of them exchange knowing glances.)
Gavin Kirkland: It looks like a new partnership has been formed tonight as the evil continues to rule the Land of Elite! Donovan Duke secures his first defense as Answers World Champion and has no plans of slowing down!
(The referee hands Duke the Answers World Championship as he stands tall alongside Silas Mason and Harper Lee, raising the title high amidst a deafening chorus of boos from the crowd.)
Crowd: ## FUCK YOU DONNY! 👏👏👏👏👏 FUCK YOU DONNY! 👏👏👏👏👏 FUCK YOU DONNY! 👏👏👏👏👏 FUCK YOU DONNY! 👏👏👏👏👏 FUCK YOU DONNY! 👏👏👏👏👏
Eve: The crowd’s reaction says it all, but tonight, the villain stands tall! Donovan Duke remains champion!
(Duke celebrates briefly before signaling Harper and Silas to leave with him. Donovan throws the championship over his shoulder as he walks past Elysium and Milli Banks, who are tending to Bronson at ringside.)
Deadprez: And that wraps up the Answers World Championship match! Stick around as tonight’s show is far from over!
(At the stage, Donovan raises the EAW Answers World Championship high once more, the boos growing even louder. Meanwhile, the camera cuts back to Bronson, Kelton, and Milli, their faces filled with frustration and uncertainty. Now with his new alliance by his side, Donovan Duke exits as King of Elite fades to elsewhere.)
(A commercial break is shown for anime series, Sakamoto Days, featuring Donovan Duke as both the original Taro Sakamoto and his retired, heavier… FAT version but all in CGI. Peak fiction, please tap in y’all.)

(‘Ghost Myself’ by DIAMANTE begins to sound through the speakers. Purple fireworks begin to shoot out from the stage. The smoke begins to fill before Raven Roberts steps out of the stage wearing a pair of large black wings made out of ceramic glass. Each wing stands five feet tall. The camera seems to highlight the detail of these wings being shattered before, but were miraculously guled back together. The glass shines in the heavy lights. The spotlight telling an entire tail of being broken and then pieced back together. Raven takes a moment to soak in the positive reception of the crowd. Shortly after, Rex McAllister stands next to her, earning a bit of cheers on his own part. Rex begins to give her advice, words of encouragement – or at least, that’s what his energy is giving off. The two of them make their way down the ramp with Raven leading the way.)
Stew-O: Raven Roberts told me that these were the wings that she wanted to wear at Pain for Pride 13. The same year that she faced Minerva for the Universal Women’s Championship. But, Raven had been preoccupied by the mind games and invasion of privacy by Minerva that she couldn’t catch the box, where her wings were stored, as they shattered to the ground. To her, there is a massive symbolization for those wings. They aren’t in perfect condition. You can still see the scars and where exactly Raven had pieced back together. I couldn’t see them much backstage when she was trying them out earlier this week, but underneath the lights, you can see the ‘scars as Raven likes to refer to them. They’re there, but she’s proud at being able to get the pieces back together. That describes Raven and her journey since returning to Elite Answers Wrestling.
Gavin Kirkland: I was unfortunate enough to see the whole ordeal with Raven Roberts and Minerva back in Season 13. One of the most cruel things that one woman can do to another. It placed her in a dark path, where she was not the same woman as before. I don’t understand Raven for spiraling down the way she did. It would break any woman. It took tons of therapy and stepping away from professional wrestling to help find herself again. She took four years away from this hectic schedule. She focused on finding herself and focusing on her marriage. She wants for everyone to know that she’s ready to put to bed the whole childhood trauma. Letting the scars heal and for her to feel whole again. Now, is this going to be what she needs to get to that Universal Women’s Championship?
Persephone: While this is Elite Answers Wrestling and more fucked up shit will probably happen to her, I am all up for her moving on. Now, she’s had this one-sided beef with me for years and I hope that she’s able to realize that I dodged a bullet and she can have Rex all to herself now. I have become a better man now.
Stew-O: This opportunity came after defeating two other couples in Charlie Marr and Veena Adams and Adam Lucas and Dr. Bethany Blue at Road to Redemption. But, due to Dynasty management not being too crazy about how this match was one, they were going to give ONE World Championship match. It was either going to be Rex McAllister or Raven, but Rex managed to step aside and allowed Raven a shot at the Universal Women’s Championship. I thought that was a noble thing for him to do. It shows how much love that he has for Raven. There is no doubt that he is going to be her biggest cheerleader tonight. He would love to be ringside to see Raven achieve another great moment in her career.
(A flipbook-like scene is revealed on the jumbotron. Almost like pages turning, it begins to highlight the past seven months of her reign as Universal Women’s Champion. Scenes from Milli Banks’ huge win at Pain for Pride: Kingdom is revealed. One by one, we are seeing her title defenses and achievements like the one with Harper Lee at Midsummer Massacre. We pan to Territorial Invasion with Milli, along with Veena Adams and Bronson Daniels winning War Games and giving Showdown their first win in the match. Another one with KASAI at The Last Stand. Her performance at the Extreme Elimination Chamber. The last moments with eliminating Ms. Extreme and retaining the championship. Each defense and milestone is paused as clips are played. In the middle of the screen, it’s the days that she’s reigned as champion in a giant font. It goes rapidly like a stop watching going forward before stopping at…**224 DAYS.***.)
(It goes back to normal with the crowd more than hyped as ‘Superstar’ by Lupe Fiasco featuring Matthew Santos begins to play. The crowd is a bit confused over the change of music, but eventually begins to embrace it.)
🎵If you are what you say you are (yeah, yeah) a superstar (gon’ say now)
Then have no fear, the camera’s here
And the microphones
And they wanna know-oh-oh-oh, yeah (the return)🎵
(The crowd’s reaction gets louder as the camera reveals that Lupe Fiasco is revealed coming from the left side of the stage. A fellow Chicagoan gets a huge reception from the crowd, of course.)
🎵If you are what you say you are, a superstar (uh-huh)
Then have no fear, the crowd is here (yeah)
And the lights are on (ha)
And they want a show, oh, oh, oh, yeah (free Chilly)🎵
(Then, the crowd pops once more as Matthew Santos, another Chicagoan, is revealed coming from the right side of the stage. He joins Lupe Fiasco as he stands across from him. But, there is a huge gap in the middle, which could obviously be for someone. Before you know it, Milli Banks comes out from the back. She is full of swagger and confidence. She is seen wearing her own variation of Aaliyah’s ‘Queen of the Damned’ outfit in a blue, indigo and gold shade. She tops off the outfit with her blue Tokyo Olympics 2020 Nike jacket that she couldn’t wear due to her getting banned after qualifying for the event due to her attitude finally catching up to her. Milli finds herself in the middle of Lupe and Matthew, who continue to sing her entrance music. The Universal Women’s Championship is shining on her waist as she swings to the music a bit before making her way down the ramp.)
🎵If you are what you say you are, a superstar
Then have no fear, the camera’s here
And the microphones
And they wanna know-oh-oh-oh, yeah
And you better wear your shades🎵
🎵The spotlights here can burn holes through the stage
Down to the basement pass the Indian graves
Where the dinosaurs laid and
Out through China, nearly miss the airliners🎵
Stew-O: And, here comes the Universal Women’s Champion who has been killing the game since winning the title from Minerva at Pain for Pride: Kingdom. This young woman has had a hell of a season so far! She’s contributed to the Showdown brand winning War Games for the first time ever. She’s bulldozed through challenger after challenger after challenger. She’s managed to win the Extreme Elimination Chamber. An impressive 2024 for Milli. She looks to make it an even more impressive 2025 by becoming the longest-reigning Universal Women’s Champion in EAW history. All she needs to do is overcome Raven Roberts, but this may be the toughest one-on-one match in her entire reign. Raven has slowly begun finding herself and getting into the groove. It’s going to be a tough match up.
Gavin Kirkland: IF YOU SAY WHAT YOU ARE, A SUPERSTAR! THEN HAVE NO FEAR, THE CROWD IS HERE! AND THE LIGHTS ARE ON! AND, THEY WANT A SHOW, OH, OH, OH, YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! :singing: :singing: :singing:
Persephone: Oh god, leave the singing to the professionals, Gavin. You sound like Candice Blair having a stroke.
Stew-O: :mjlol: Now, Milli Banks’ reign is at 224 days. She needs to get through tonight, if she wants to secure the record, ladies and gentlemen. Right now, she stands as the second longest-reigning Universal Women’s Champion in EAW history, but that can all change tonight! But, Raven Roberts is not an easy challenge whatsoever. These two had a TON to say to each other this week. While there is respect there, there’s also realization that this match is not going to be a walk at the park. These two are going to need to pull out the best moves in their arsenal, if they want to secure this win.
🎵If you are what you say you are, a superstar
Then have no fear, the crowd is here
And the lights are on
And they want a show, oh, oh, oh, yeah🎵
🎵So chauffeur, chauffeur, come and take me away
‘Cause I’ve been standin’ in this line for like five whole days
Me and security ain’t getting’ along
And when I got to the front, they told me all of the tickets were gone🎵
(‘Superstar’ continues to play for a bit longer before it fades.The crowd in Chicago, Illinois is singing along to the song briefly – even when the music dies down. Milli sings along with them getting herself hyped up. We have Milli Banks standing on the left side of Stephie Love. Raven Roberts stands on the right with Rex McAllister up on the apron.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL—
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
Stephie Love: AND…IT’S FOR THE EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!! INTRODUCING FIRST… THE CHALLENGER…BEING ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY REX MCALLISTER…FROM ATLANTA, GEORGIA…SHE IS ‘THE BIRD OF PREY’…RAVEN ROBERTS!!!!!
(The crowd in the Soldier Field showers Raven Roberts with love and adoration. Raven takes her place center in the ring as she has her arms out in the open, oozing confidence, soaking in the reception before gesturing for the title around her waist. She looks at Milli Banks, pointing at the title that she’s unstrapping from her waist. Milli is waiting for her introduction from Stephie Love.)
Stephie Love: AND…HER OPPONENT…FROM BROOKLYN, NEW YORK…SHE IS THE CURRENT REIGNING EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION… SHE IS ‘THE SUPERNOVA’…MILLI BANKS!!!!!
(Milli Banks does her usual spin before raising the Universal Women’s Champion high above her head. The crowd showered her with the same love and adoration as Raven Roberts. She looks at Raven who stands across from her. The two women banter competitively as she gives the referee the Universal Women’s Championship. The referee raises the title high above his head, letting the crowd know what this match is all about. Then, he begins to pat down Raven at her corner, making sure that she does not have any sort of weapons in her. He goes over to Milli and pats her as well. Both women are clear of weapons. He stands in the middle of the ring, asking if both women are going. Both women are fired up as the referee calls for the bell to begin this match.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
(The crowd in the Soldier Field shows a ton of love to the two women in the middle of the ring. Milli Banks is jumping around, hyping herself up and geting the crowd all fired up. Raven Roberts nods around, surveying her surroundings, soaking in the atmosphere as Rex McAllister is giving her some last minute encouragement and advice. The same stuff that he’s told her in the back, but never hurts to inform her twice. Both of these women are quite jittery. So much on the line.)
(The camera pans to challenger, Raven Roberts, who made her unexpected return on Showdown back in 2023. Being a partner for Madison Kaline, when it came to taking down The British Invasion’s Halsey Neel and Pandora Paisley. Successful in their efforts to knock down the two Brits at Road to Redemption, it wouldn’t be the same result each and every time. Raven had experienced a true testament with her series of setbacks. From losing at King of Elite to falling short in winning the ‘Blind Faith’ 8-Person Over The Cage Match to the National Elite Championship at Pain for Pride, she had moments where she believed that could have been used to help rebuild and come to terms with her past. Instead, it’s taken a bit longer to find herself back in this position.)
(This season, she had one thing in mind: moving on from the past. But, what happens when the past does not want to move on? She found that out when she would cross paths with a former foe in Minerva. A woman who would go on to be one of the most iconic women in the business.
The two of them would run things back at Reckless Wiring, but she would find herself on the losing end. A wound that could have remained open. Instead, she wasn’t focused on the result, but on making sure that Minerva felt what she felt all those years ago. Still, a side of her felt like she could heal even more and that’s what happened when she and her husband, Rex McAllister decided to reform Fire & Ice. It was an opportunity to run things back and stand by each other’s side. It would not be long until they would find themselves as the next contenders for the Unified Tag Team Championships and most importantly, crossing paths with two women who Raven has had her set of issues with. Unfortunately, Fire & Ice would fall short of winning the match. Yet, she still had the focus and determination to move forward. The loss would not deter her and her mission to rebuild herself and move forward.)
(Her luck would seem to turn around when she and Rex McAllister would face Michael Machina and Bea Valentine. There, Raven would be able to get the victory for Fire & Ice. And, at Road to Redemption, they would add another victory in their cap as a tag team over Adam Lucas and Dr. Bethany Blue and Charlie Marr and Veena Adams. Finally, it seemed like things had turned around for not only her, but Rex as well. Until stepping into the Dynasty General Managers office and then, they will find themselves in a tough situation of only one of them being able to get a shot at a World Championship. While Raven was more than willing to fight to make sure that both got their title shots, Rex was more than okay with stepping aside and letting Raven get her shot. Raven Roberts looked at Rex McAllister who stood at the corner with love and support in his eyes. “You got this” is what Rex would mouth to her as Raven needed to do the same to take her to that finish line.)
(The camera pans to the Universal Women’s Champion herself, Milli Banks. For the past 224 days, Milli has been the Universal Women’s Champion. At Pain for Pride: Kingdom, she would win the title in a Triple Threat match consisting of Hikari Kanno and then, champion, Minerva. A critically acclaimed 2024 Women’s Match of the Year. Since winning the title, Milli has been one the roles. At Midsummer Massacre, she would face Harper Lee for the Universal Women’s Championship. At Territorial Invasion, she would team with National Elite Champion, Veena Adams and her beau Bronson Daniels to give Showdown their first War Games victory ever. At The Last Stand, she would overcome KASAI. At Road to Redemtpion, it would be her biggest task as she would find herself in an Extreme Elimination Chamber as she would topple the current record-holder, Ms. Extreme, as her last victim before being one step closer to knocking her out of the history books.)
(225 days is the record held by Ms. Extreme. Milli Banks stands in 224 days. One day shy of tying the record. Two days shy of breaking it. If there is one title defense that Millihas to win in her heart, it’s this one. She is on the verge of making history. This is something that she has felt in the past when it came to her reign as Specialists Champion. She knows how it feels to be so close and not having it be enough in the end. Has she learned what she needs to do to overcome the hurdle? Milli has had one of the more impressive years for a World Champion in recent memory. Someone who had totally swept most of her nominated categories in the 2024 EAW Awards. Someone who had this entire company in the palm of her hands, singing lyrics to her entrance music and the people are just enamoured of her. The once hated gymnast. Someone that the gymnastic community would have shown her the door to when they told her that she was no longer welcomed in their sport is being cheered in front of a sold out stadium in Soldier Field.)
Stew-O: Both of these women know what’s on the line. Different things, but there’s SO much on the line for them. None of them wants to make a mistake. They almost need to wrestle the perfect wrestling match, if they want to walk out victorious. This is going to be an instance of who makes that mistake first and who captalizes on that mistake. Both of these women are cautiously meeting in the middle of the ring. Both of them in a fighting stance as –
Gavin Kirkland: THE TWO WOMEN LOCK UP! BUT, RAVEN ROBERTS MANAGES TO OVERPOWER MILLI BANKS BY PUSHING HER BACK! Now, I think that Milli knew that the strength of ‘The Bird of Prey’ was going to be a key factor in this match, but that doesn’t mean that she won’t always be surprised when she gets pushed around like that! STILL, MILLI AND RAVEN GO TO LOCK UP FOR A SECOND TIME, BUT RAVEN MANAGES TO OVERPOWER THE CHAMPION AS SHE PUSHES MILLI BACK! Milli looks to adjust her game plan a bit as she looks at Raven! Raven is more than locked in! But, Milli goes forward as she swings at her challenger!
Persephone: Raven Roberts manages to pick up Milli Banks, lifting her high in the air as she throws her back to the turnbuckle at the corner! With Milli thrown to the corner, Raven goes right after the Universal Women’s Champion with a clothesline, BUT MILLI MANAGES TO ESCAPE AS SHE EXITS THE RING THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, BUT LANDS ON THE APRON! SHE QUICKLY GETS HERSELF ON THE TURNBUCKLE BEFORE DELIVERING A KICK TO THE BACK TO THE FACE OF RAVEN THAT GETS HER BACK! Then, she finds herself on the second turnbuckle before jumping off and sending her straight to her challenger – BUT RAVEN MANAGES TO CATCH MILLI HIGH IN THE AIR! RAVEN MANAGES TO HALT MILLI’S MOMENTUM RIGHT THERE AS SHE LOOKS TO TAKE HER DOWN WITH A POWERBOMB!
Stew-O: NO! INSTEAD, IT’S MILLI BANKS WHO MANAGES TO RE-SHIFT HER BODY AND GRAB THE ARM OF RAVEN ROBERTS AND COUNTER WITH A CAZADORA ARM DRAG! This causes Raven to get sent forward as Milli finds her way back up! She runs towards her challenger nailing Raven with a dropkick as Raven gets sent to the corner! But, Milli takes a couple of steps back! Her gaze is on Raven as she doesn’t look to be turning away! Milli goes right after the champion with a meteora – BUT RAVEN MANAGES TO GET HERSELF OUT OF THE WAY! BUT, MILLI MANAGES TO CATCH HERSELF BEFORE HER KNEES COLLIDE WITH THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE! BUT, RAVEN MANAGES TO SWOOP IN AND ROLL UP MILLI AS SHE LOOKS TO PUT THIS MATCH AWAY!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE–
Gavin Kirkland: Milli Banks manages to roll herself out of the pin fall attempt! Both women find themselves on their feet at the same time! Both of them look at each other with those competitive smirks on their faces, but don’t be fooled, they’re more than willing to rip each other’s head’s off, if it means to walk away with the Universal Women’s Championship! Both women go back to that lock up stance! But, it seems like Raven goes down as she slides Milli up in a fireman’s carry position! But, instead of going for the actual move, Raven manages to take the champion to her knee! But, she maintains Milli’s arm that was hit when Raven connected with the fireman’s as she holds it there before going tilting Milli back! The shoulders of the champion are pinned to the mat as Raven attempts to put away the champion quickly in this match up!
OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNE–
Persephone: Unfortunately, that was not enough to win the match! But, Milli Banks manages to roll herself to her feet! Raven Roberts meets her a nanosecond after! Milli looks to connect with a kick, but Raven manages to push that leg and Milli away from her! Milli swings at her challenger with a clothesline, but Raven ducks the clothesline as she manages to grab Milli’s right arm and connect with the neckbreaker on the champion! Milli is holding the back of her neck as Raven manages to pick up the champion! She gets Milli into a front headlock before getting her up in a vertical suplex position – but Milli manages to drop herself behind the champion! It seemed like Raven didn’t have a secure enough grasp there, but Raven turns around as Milli takes her back with a superkick! But, look at this! It doesn’t cause Raven to go back! Instead, it just takes the challenger to a knee! That seems more than fine for Milli Banks as she nails Raven with that running meteora as she takes ‘The Bird of Prey’ to her back! Milli grabs Raven’s legs from behind, hooking her for the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE–
Stew-O: But, Raven Roberts kicks out! This match is still in the beginning stages ladies and gentlemen! Milli sees that Raven is shaking some feeling back into her system, but she runs right towards her challenger with a basement double footstomp as her boots collide with the face of Raven! Now, we see Milli picking up Raven by one of her arms as she whips Raven to the ropes! Milli looks to connect with a clothesline, but Raven ends up ducking the clothesline! No, wait! Instead, she manages to get a good hold of Milli before countering with a flatliner as that takes the champion down! Raven finds herself back into a vertical base before getting the champion and taking her back with a t-bone suplex! But, she floats over for a pin fall attempt on the Universal Women’s Champion!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWW–
Gavin Kirkland: Raven Roberts gets one of Milli Banks’ arms and applies a standing arm bar! But, Milli manages to get one of the legs of her challenger before tripping her! Now, we see that Milli is looking to apply an ankle lock on Raven! But, Raven manages to roll herself through as she sends Milli straight forward to the ropes! Raven’s long limbs will make it difficult for her to get something like an ankle lock tightly secured! It’s a lot of limb to be working with! Raven is the one up to her feet as she looks to follow that up by connecting with a knee to the back of Milli’s skull! Then, Raven manages to yank up Milli by her waist and take her back with a deadlift German suplex! Milli rolls to her stomach as Raven recollects the champion up to her feet! Raven gets Milli up into position before taking her back with a back suplex! Raven gets on top of Milli before connecting with some stiff left and right punches to the face! Then, she begins to connect with some elbow strikes! Raven is looking to put in the work to slow down Milli Banks as she possibly can!
Persephone: Now, we see Raven Roberts beginning to apply a guillotine chokehold on the Universal Women’s Champion! Here’s some of the MMA training that Raven takes pride in coming into play! Now, this isn’t the most idealistic position for Milli Banks to find herself in! I mean, I wouldn’t blame her if she wants to submit here! Nothing wrong here, but it makes my job A LOT easier!
Stew-O: She probably got some hot date night with Luis planned, but I would LOVE to see this match go on LONGER! These two women had a ton of say this week! I want to see how all of this unfolds! Milli Banks can sense the troubling position that she is, so she takes one GIANT leap back and manages to get her foot on the bottom rope! Raven has no other choice, but to release the guillotine choke hold on the champion!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! LET GO, RAVEN!
Gavin Kirkland: Raven Roberts needs to be careful on not getting herself disqualified here! This is her first World Championship match in five years! This is something that she’s needed to work for! Since her return, it’s been a journey with finding herself back in one of these huge matches! The last thing that she wants to do is get herself disqualified over something stupid!
Persephone: Meanwhile, you see that Milli Banks is coughing up some air back into her lungs! She begins to find herself in a crawling position as Raven Roberts runs right after her and nails her with a basement baseball slide dropkick! This takes Milli to her back as Raven grabs Milli by that colorful hair of her’s and takes her to the turnbuckle, sending her head first! Milli manages to turn herself around, but it allows Raven an opening to deliver some massive kicks to the gut of the Universal Women’s Champion! Raven needs to be careful on making sure that she does not let her emotions get the best of her! Milli is not one of those foes that she’s looking to knock off the pedestal! Apparently to some people, Milli is a decent human being!
Stew-O: Raven Roberts straightens up Milli Banks before delivering a palm strike to the chest of ‘The Supernova!’ Right away, Milli collapses to the ground! Raven manages to pick up Milli again before connecting with a palm strike to the chest! Milli collapses to the ground! That’s going to leave a nasty mark there! Raven manages to grab Milli by her arm, looking to whip her to the corner diagonally from them! Midway, we see Milli countering that whip, sending the challenger crashing back first against the corner! The champion runs towards her challenger and takes her down with a meteora! Now, we see Milli connecting with a few stomps to the chest of Raven! She holds her boot against the chest of ‘The Bird of Prey’ as she waits for the referee to begin his count!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Gavin Kirkland: Milli Banks stands back for a moment! Allowing for Raven Roberts to slowly pick herself back up! Mill goes right back to Raven, but manages to connect with a ‘rocket’ kick to the face of the challenger! Then, she manages to slide herself through the middle rope and nail Raven in the face with a pendulum kick! Milli enters back inside the ring before getting Raven by the arm and she begins to climb up the turnbuckle! An escalara wrist lock arm drag is connected as Milli manages to transition that into a monkey flip!
Persephone: WHAT IN THE HELL? RAVEN ROBERTS MANAGES TO LAND ON HER FEET! THERE IS A BIT OF A BRIDGE WHEN SHE LANDS, BUT SHE IS ABLE TO PICK HERSELF UP TO HER FEET! MILLI GOES RIGHT AFTER RAVEN, BUT RAVEN MANAGES TO GRAB MILLI BY THE ARM AND SEND HER FORWARD WITH A JUDO THROW! BUT, LOOK AT THAT! RAVEN STILL HAS POSSESSION OF THE CHAMPION’S ARM! SHE CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER JUDO THROW AND STILL SHE DOESN’T LET GO! RAVEN CONNECTS WITH A THIRD CONSECUTIVE JUDO THROW AS SHE SENDS MILLI CRASHING ONTO A SEATED POSITION! Milli is clutching that left arm as she goes right after her challenger! Raven gets Milli up in the air! We have a bit of showboating from the challenger, who is displaying her strength before sending Milli back with a gorilla press slam!
Stew-O: With Milli Banks down, we see Raven Roberts getting in front of the Universal Women’s Champion and connecting with a handstand double leg drop as she finds herself in perfect position for a pin fall attempt!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWW–
Gavin Kirkland: Milli Banks with a kick out! Raven Roberts manages to stand right behind Milli before going back with a standing moonsault! It lands right on the ribs of Milli as Raven manages to get the champion up and she has her onto one shoulder before running towards the corner and taking her down with a running powerslam! THE CHAMPION IS DANGLING UPSIDE DOWN! IN A TREE OF WOE POSITION AS RAVEN RUNS RIGHT AFTER HER WITH A SHOTGUN DROPKICK TO THE FACE! INSTANTLY, MILLI FALLS DOWN FROM THAT POSITION! I THINK THAT MAY HAVE KNOCKED THE CHAMPION A BIT DIZZY AS SHE FINDS HERSELF OUT OF THE RING!
Persephone: BUT, RAVEN ROBERTS MUST HAVE READ MY MIND WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS MATCH ENDING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! SHE MANAGES TO LAUNCH HERSELF THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A TOPÈ SUICIDA! MILLI BANKS CATCHES RAVEN A BIT, BUT IT DOESN’T MAKE THE CRASH ANY SOFTER FOR HER! SHE MANAGES TO GO BACK TO THE BARRICADE! BOTH OF THESE WOMEN ARE LOOKING TO HURT THE OTHER FOR THE SAKE OF LEAVING WITH THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP!
Stew-O: Rex McAllister is going forward to check on his wife! He knows that he can’t get involved in this match! Raven Roberts will not allow him, but that doesn’t mean that he can’t check up on her! Rex is clapping, encouraging Raven to find herself back to her feet! At the first sign of the challenger getting to her feet, Rex distances himself once more! SHE MANAGES TO PICK UP MILLI BEFORE BODY SLAMMING HER ONTOP OF THE STEEL STEPS! :yikes: Milli’s back contorts in pain! I can’t imagine how that must feel! Mill finds herself rolling off those steel steps! SHE FINDS HERSELF IN A SEATED POSITION AS RAVEN FINDS HER NEXT OPPORTUNITY AND CONNECTS WITH A HIGH ANGLE BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE FACE OF MILLI! THIS KNOCKS HER BACK COMPLETELY! BUT, RAVEN IS JUST GETTING WARMED UP HERE!
Persephone: The referee is at the count of nine as Raven Roberts manages to roll herself back into the ring to break the count! One of the worst things that she could do! Then, she rolls herself back out of the ring! She manages to retrieve Milli before lifting her up and taking her down with a high-angle uranage as the champion lands on the apron! Raven Roberts showing a bit of aggression here! She climbs back onto the apron as she manages to get Milli into position for a powerbomb! It’s almost like Milli is a rag doll at the moment! Raven is just taking advantage by throwing the champion all around!
Gavin Kirkland: Raven Roberts manages to get Milli Banks high up in a powerbomb position! WE BEGIN TO SEE MILLI CONNECTING WITH RAPID PUNCHES TO THE TOP OF ‘THE BIRD OF PREY’S’ SKULL! SHE MANAGES TO GET HERSELF BACK DOWN GENTLY ONTO THE APRON! MILLI SENDS RAVEN FORWARD WITH A SUPERKICK! RAVEN GOES RIGHT AFTER HER WITH A FOREARM! BUT, MILLI MANAGES TO CATCH RAVEN WITH THAT SAME ARM THAT SHE WAS USING TO SWING THAT FOREARM AT MILLI BEFORE TAKING HER DOWN WITH A FLATLINER! This knocks Raven out of the ring! Still, we see Raven getting herself up and going after Raven, but Milli swings forward as she knocks Raven back with a rebound gamengiri! This takes Raven to the side as Milli stands right up, looking for the most precise timing –
Stew-O: MILLI BANKS FLIES FROM OUT OF THE RING USING THE EDGE OF THE APRON TO SPRINGBOARD HERSELF OFF AND CONNECTS WITH A TORNADO DDT! Raven gets sent forward into a seated position as she’s looking at Rex McAllister! She gets Raven Roberts by the nape of her neck as she locks eyes with Rex for a moment! She gives a nod as Rex holds his hands up where she could see it! Assuring her that he’s not going to get involved! This match is between her and Raven and Rex has done a great job with respecting that!
Gavin Kirkland: Honestly, any outside factor is always a wildcard! They are more than capable of turning the tides of the match around! But, Rex McAllister has done a good job with staying distance! That’s the full faith that he has on Raven Roberts getting the job done here! Milli ends up picking up Raven and throwing her underneath the bottom rope and back inside the ring! Now, we see Milli finding herself on the top turnbuckle! She has her eyes on Raven! It takes a moment or two for the challenger to find herself back to her feet! Once she spots Milli on that top turnbuckle, she begins to race to the top turnbuckle! There’s a slight panic on the champion’s face as she needs to rethink her game plan here!
Persephone: Raven Roberts joins up Milli Banks on that top turnbuckle! Milli manages to get a foot up, looking to kick Raven away! But, Raven manages to grab onto the foot! Milli realizes that she may have fucked up there as Raven connects with a punch to the gut! THEN, LETS GO OF MILLI’S LEG AS SHE MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A HUGE CHOP TO THE CHEST AS THAT TAKES MILLI IN A SEATED POSITION ON THAT TOP TURNBUCKLE! NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE RAVEN PULLS MILLI IN A FRONT HEADLOCK AS IT SEEMS LIKE RAVEN IS LOOKING FOR A SUPERPLEX!
Stew-O: But, Milli Banks is hanging on for dear life as she manages to punch Raven Roberts in the stomach! Milli connects with a couple of rapid punches, desperately trying to get herself out of position as she manages to slide out of the grasp of the challenger! BUT, RAVEN MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH PUNCHES TO THE SPINE OF MILLI! SLOWLY, RAVEN BEGINS TO SWITCH POSITIONS WITH THE CHAMPION! RAVEN FINDS HERSELF SAT AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE AS I’M NOT SURE WHAT SHE’S LOOKING TO DO! I THINK THAT SHE MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR A FRONT SUPLEX HERE?
Gavin Kirkland: THESE TWO WOMEN ARE TEETERING OFF THE TOP ROPE! THE BALANCE IS NOT THERE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! MILLI BANKS SLIDES OUT OF RAVEN’S GRASP AND NAILS RAVEN ROBERTS WITH A FOREARM! RAVEN WITH A FOREARM IN RETURN! MILLI WITH A FOREARM! RAVEN WITH A FOREARM! EACH FOREARM CAUSES THESE WOMEN TO STUMBLE BACK EVEN MORE! BOTH OF THESE WOMEN ARE FIRED UP! MILLI! RAVEN! MILLI! RAVEN! MILLI! RAVEN! THE CROWD IS SLOWLY RISING UP TO THEIR FEET! THEY’RE CURIOUS THEMSELVES ON WHICH OF THESE WOMEN IS GOING TO GO DOWN FIRST! BUT, RAVEN NAILS A HEADBUTT TO THE SKULL OF THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! THAT SEEMS TO KNOCK DOWN MILLI A BIT! BUT, RAVEN MANAGES TO GRAB THE CHAMPION BY THE SKULL! I THINK THAT MIGHT BE A MISTAKE ON RAVEN’S PART AS SHE CONTINUES TO NAIL SOME MASSIVE HEADBUTTS TO MILLI AS THAT KNOCKS HER OFF THE TOP ROPE! RAVEN HAS THE TOP ROPE TO HERSELF AS SHE SITS ON IT! STILL, ‘THE SUPERNOVA’ IS DETERMINED TO FIND HER WAY BACK UP THERE, BUT RAVEN, FROM THE TOP ROPE –
Persephone: RAVEN ROBERTS WITH A TILT-A-WHIRL TO MILLI BANKS FROM THE TOP ROPE BEFORE SHE RECOILS HER BACK WITH A STUNNER! ‘BEAK BREAKER’ – RAVEN’S VARIATION OF A TILT-A-WHIRL STUNNER MAKES MILLI! MILLI IS DOWN! SHE IS USING THE ROPES TO HELP GET HERSELF TO HER FEET! RAVEN BEGINS TO GO BACK AS SHE ANTICIPATES FOR THE CHAMPION TO GET BACK TO HER FEET BEFORE RUNNING TOWARDS HER –
Stew-O: ****‘TALON!!!!!!!!!!!!!’ THE ‘TALON’ NAILS MILLI BANKS IN THE FACE AS SHE FALLS BACK!!!!!! RAVEN FOR THE COVER!!!!!! HAS RAVEN ROBERTS DONE WHAT SHE CAN TO GET HERSELF TO THE TOP OF THE WOMEN’S DIVISION AFTER FIVE YEARS?!??!?!****
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
…
…
…
Gavin Kirkland: MILLI BANKS GETS A PINKIE ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! RAVEN ROBERTS CAN’T SEEM TO BELIEVE WHAT IS GOING ON! SHE’S LOOKING AT MILLI’S PINKIE ON THE BOTTOM ROPE BEFORE LOOKING AT THE REFEREE! RAVEN IS HOLDING UP A THREE COUNT! SHE BELIEVE THAT SHE HAD MILLI’S NUMBER THERE, BUT THE REFEREE IS POINTING OUT THE PINKIE ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! MILLI JUST BARELY KEEPING HER TITLE REIGN ALIVE!
(Raven Roberts is completely heartbroken of the fact that she’s not the Universal Women’s Champion at the moment. To her, it should have been here. Everything had perfectly aligned for this particular moment. But, Milli Banks showed once more on why she’s kept that title for about seven months now and what she will do in order to keep it that way. It takes a moment for Raven to find her composure again. She cannot let her emotions rule her once again. She looks back at Rex McAllister, her biggest support system in this match. Someone who has watched his own wife push herself throughout this match and nods at her, almost like: “you know what you have to do.” Raven nods in return, clearly understanding what that nod meant and what she needs to do now.)
Persephone: Raven Roberts finds herself up to her feet! She gets Milli Banks by her arm, yanking her up to a vertical base, BUT MILLI BLASTS HER WITH A RIPCORD SLAP ACROSS THE FACE OF RAVEN! NOT ONLY THAT, BUT MILLI IS QUICK TO FOLLOW WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE! THIS TAKES THE CHALLENGER TO HER KNEES AS MILLI SITS ON THE SHOULDERS OF RAVEN BEFORE TURNING HER BODY AND TOPPING OFF THAT SERIES OF MOVES WITH A POISONED FRANKENSTEINER! THOSE SERIES OF MOVES ARE CALLED ‘MONEY MOVES!’
Stew-O: WHAT IN THE HELL? RAVEN ROBERTS MANAGES TO STAND UP HERSELF STRAIGHT FROM THAT POISONED FRANKENSTEINER! I THINK THAT MILLI BANKS IS IN CLEAR SHOCK HERSELF! RAVEN STILL HAS STRENGTH TO STAND HERSELF UP STRAIGHT! SHE IS LOOKING AT THE CHAMPION DEAD IN THE EYE! MILLI SENDS HERSELF FORWARD, LOOKING FOR THAT SINGLE HIGH KNEE STRIKE THAT SHE CALLS ‘NO FAKE BILLS HERE!’ BUT, RAVEN BEATS HER TO THE PUNCH BY CONNECTING WITH A T-BONE SUPLEX AS THAT SENDS THE CHAMPION BACK! Milli is clutching her lower back as tries to get to her feet, but Raven takes her down with ‘Facelift’ – the spinning heel kick to Milli’s face! Milli is knocked down once more as Raven manages to take a couple steps once more as she waits for Milli to find her way back to her feet! At the slight sign of Milli finding her way back to her feet, Raven charges right aftr Milli with a second ‘Talon’ of this match up!
Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOOOOOO! MILLI BANKS GOES BACK DOWN AS RAVEN ROBERTS RACES FOR THE COVER! ARE WE GOING TO CROWN A NEW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION HERE?
Persephone: Milli Banks rolls herself out of the ring before Raven Roberts could go into position for the cover! Now, that’s wonderful ring awareness from Milli Banks and while Raven is not too happy about it, it was smart of Milli to do it! But, don’t get me wrong – I feel Raven’s level of pain and anger because I do want this match to end as well! 🙂↕️
Stew-O: But, Raven Roberts rolls herself out of the ring! She gets Milli Banks by her arm before looking to whip her to the edge of the apron! But, Milli’s ribs collided with that edge of the apron! She begins to clutch them in pain as Raven gets Milli on top of the apron! I’m not sure what Raven is looking to do here, but she has Milli in a powerbomb position before hosting her up and connecting with a doctor bomb! She sends Milli right on top of the apron! Yikes, that did not look pleasant at all! But, Raven gets Milli and rolls her underneath the bottom rope! Raven begins to perch herself on the top turnbuckle! I think that Raven has a clear idea of how she wants to end this match now! Why not end this match in the sky?
Gavin Kirkland: MILLI, PLEASE, GET OUT OF THE WAY! COME ON! :noah: RAVEN ROBERTS HAS HERSELF PERCHED ON THE TOP ROPE! MILLI LYING LIFELESS ON THE MAT AS RAVEN FLIES FROM THE TOP ROPE – ‘RAVEN’S WINGS’ – THE SPIRAL TAP THAT WE’VE SEEN HER PUT A FEW ELITISTS AWAY WITH IN THE PAST! COME ON, MILLI! PLEASE, GET YOURSELF OUT OF THE WAY, POOKIE!
Persephone: A grown ass calling a young woman “pookie?” Can ICE deport your ass next?
Stew-O: BUT, MILLI BANKS MANAGES TO GET HER KNEES UP AS RAVEN ROBERTS WAS COLLIDING WITH ‘RAVEN’S WINGS!’ RAVEN IS CLUTCHING HER RIBS IN PAIN AS I THINK THAT MILLI MAY HAVE FOUND HER OPENING HERE! SHE GETS RAVEN IN A POWERBOMB POSITION AND IF I’M CORRECT, WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING MILLI GOING FOR THE ‘MONEY MAKER’ – THE GORY SPECIAL SPUN INTO A DDT IS WHAT WON MILLI THE TITLE BACK AT PAIN FOR PRIDE SEVEN MONTHS AGO! IS SHE GOING TO USE IT TO SEND HER ON HER WAY TO BECOMING THE LONGEST REIGNING UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION IN EAW HISTORY?!?!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT, RAVEN ROBERTS MANAGES TO COUNTER MILLI BANKS’ GORY SPECIAL WITH A GORY SPECIAL ON HER OWN! RAVEN IS THE STRONGER WOMAN OUT OF THE TWO! SHE WAS ABLE TO PICK UP MILLI WITH NO ISSUE AT ALL! NO! MILLI MANAGES TO SWING HER BODY, SO THAT SHE MANAGES TO TIE THE ARMS OF RAVEN IN A CRUCIFIX LOCK! SHE MANAGES TO TAKE RAVEN BACK AND CONNECT WITH A CRUCIFIX DRIVER! SHE ROLLS UP RAVEN FOR THE PIN! IS THAT GOING TO BE IT HERE?!?!??! WILL THIS BE ENOUGH TO SEND MILLI BANKS INTO THE HISTORY BOOKS?!??!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRR–
Persephone: Raven Roberts with a kick out! But, Milli Banks happens to find herself out of her feet faster than we can react to it! She races forward as she looks to keep Raven down with ‘No Fake Bills Here,’ but Raven manages to slide underneath Milli as she gets her in a fireman’s carry position! We see Raven beginning to lift up Milli, who is on the shoulders of her challenger! BUT, MILLI MANAGES TO SLIDE OFF THE SHOULDERS OF RAVEN! SHE LANDS RIGHT BEHIND RAVEN BEFORE NAILING HER WITH A DOUBLE KNEE BACKBREAKER TO THE SPINE! BUT, THAT SEEMED TO DO LITTLE TO NO DAMAGE ON THE CHALLENGER! WE SEE MILLI GOING FOR A SECOND DOUBLE KNEE BACKBREAKER TO THE SPINE OF ‘THE BIRD OF PREY’ AND THIS TIME, THIS TAKES RAVEN DOWN TO HER KNEES! MILLI CONNECTS A HANDSTAND HEADSCISSORS DDT AS THAT SPIKES RAVEN’S FACE DOWN! BUT, MILLI LOOKS AT THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND REALIZES THAT IT’S NOW OR NEVER FOR HER! SHE BEGINS TO HEAD UP THAT TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Stew-O: MILLI BANKS BEGINS TO SITUATE HERSELF ON THE TOP ROPE! I’M HIGHLY CERTAIN THAT SHE’S LOOKING FOR ‘MILLI-ON-AIR’ – THE CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS! SHE LOOKS AT A DOWNED RAVEN ROBERTS, BEFORE LOOKING AT REX MCALLISTER AND THEN, LOOKING AT RAVEN ONCE MORE! A BIT OF REMORSE FROM THE CHAMPION,****BUT SHE MORE THAN POWERS THROUGH ALL OF THAT BEFORE JUMPING OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH ‘MILLI-ON-AIR!’ THE CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS LANDS PERFECTLY ON RAVEN ROBERTS! MILLI HOOKS HER BY THE LEG! IS THIS GOING TO BE ALL SHE WROTE HERE??!?!****
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!!

…
Gavin Kirkland: FUCK, NO! RAVEN ROBERTS KICKS OUT! I COULD HAVE SWORN THAT WAS A THREE, REF! I SWEAR, IT’S THE CHICAGO PIZZA! PROBABLY LACED WITH DRUGS! MILLI TRIED TO WARN US ALL ABOUT THAT HORRID PIZZA ON SHERRI!!!!!
(Milli Banks looks to be completely speechless at the moment. She looks down on Raven Roberts, who SOMEHOW, managed to kick out of ‘Milli-on-Air.’ The fight that this match has completely taken out of her. It was obvious that Raven was not going to give up without a fight. Raven was stubborn and she was determined to make the ultimate statement and begin moving forward and letting go of the past.)
Persephone: MILLI BANKS MANAGES TO GET RAVEN ROBERTS UP TO HER FEET AND SHE TAKES HER DOWN FOR THE DOUBLE KNEE BACKBREAKER TO THE SPINE! NOW, SHE BEGINS TO FLIP THE CHALLENGER BACK AND TO HER STOMACH AS WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING MILLI BANKS APPLY ‘CAPTIAL WON!’ THE SAME MOVE THAT SHE USED TO SUBMIT MS. EXTREME AT ROAD TO REDEMPTION! BUT, SHE CAN’T GET A GOOD ENOUGH GRASP ON RAVEN ROBERTS! RAVEN IS MOVING AROUND LIKE A FUCKING FISH OUT OF WATER!
Stew-O: Those long legs of Raven Roberts benefit her at this moment as she manages to get a foot on the bottom rope before Milli Banks could even fully apply in that move to the best of her abilities! The referee is notifying Milli of Raven’s foot on the bottom rope! But, Milli is trying to move forward and get Raven away from those ropes! She pulls Raven by one of her arms, BUT THAT’S ENOUGH TO SPRING RAVEN BACK TO HER FEET BEFORE CATCHING MILLI BY SURPRISE BY A ‘HUNTRESS BOMB’ – THE SITOUT POWERBOMB MANAGES TO STACK MILLI UNDERNEATH RAVEN! RAVEN HAS HER THERE FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TT–
Gavin Kirkland: YASS QUEEN!!!!! MILLI IS STILL ALIVE!!!! :blessed: Raven Roberts manages to find herself back up! She gets Milli Banks in a powerbomb position before lifting the champion high up! Milli begins to shake her head no! She knows that it’s going to be an awful way to go down – BUT, SHE MANAGES TO DROP HERSELF IN FRONT OF RAVEN! SHE MANAGES TO GET RAVEN BY ONE OF THE ARMS BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD CAZADORA ARM DRAG AS SHE SENDS HER CHALLENGER BACK! BUT, RAVEN GOES RIGHT AFTER MILLI STOPS HER WITH A KNEE TO THE GUT! MILLI FOLLOWS TAHT UP WITH A LUNG BLOWER AS THAT SENDS RAVEN BACK INTO THE ROPES! Now, we see Milli running to the corner as she has her knees up for a meteora to Raven’s face! That sends Raven forward as Milli connects with a hurricanrana as that takes her challenger down!
Persephone: Milli Banks goes right after Raven Roberts with a dropkick to Raven’s face! No! Raven manages to catch Milli off guard! She has the champion by her leg as she throws her back, but Milli manages to roll back to her feet! She runs forward to Raven, looking to connect with another lung blower to the challenger – BUT RAVEN WAS MORE THAN READY FOR THAT ONE! MILLI IS SHAKING HER HEAD NO AS RAVEN MANAGES TO HOIST HER UP AND GET HER INTO POSITION FOR A PACKAGE TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!
Stew-O: NO! BUT, MILLI BANKS MANAGES TO GET HERSELF OUT OF POSITION! SHE RUNS THE ROPES IN FRONT OF HER BEFORE JUMPING BACK, GETTING HERSELF IN A WHEELBARROW POSITION BY RAVEN ROBERTS! BUT, MILLI MANAGES TO TRANSITION IT INTO A CAZADORA AS SHE SENDS RAVEN FORWARD!
Gavin Kirkland: RAVEN ROBERTS MANAGES TO CATCH HERSELF THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPES AND BEFORE HER FACE COULD GO THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! ****SHE FINDS HER WAY BACK TO HER FEET AS MILLI BANKS MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH THE CARTWHEEL ARM BREAKER TAKEDOWN BEFORE TRANSITIONING THAT INTO A PIN!! MILLI CONNECTS WITH ‘ANDROMEDA!’ IS THIS GOING TO BE ENOUGH FOR MILLI BANKS TO SECURE THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP!!?!?!****
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Superstar’ begins to play once more as Milli Banks rolls off of Raven Roberts. Milli finds herself on her knees, overcome at the emotions. She looks down on that mat for a second, soaking in the reception from the crowd. The referee hands her the Universal Women’s Championship as she looks down at the title.)
Stephie Love: THE WINNER AND ****STILL**** EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION… ‘THE SUPERNOVA’…MILLI BANKS!!!!!!
Stew-O: Unbelievable match, ladies and gentlemen! Milli Banks retains the Universal Women’s Championship against Raven Roberts! But, it was Raven Roberts’ best performance since returning! I am incredibly speechless at this entire match up! These two went out there and incredibly killed it!
Persephone: Yeah, that’s great and all, but I’m relieved that this is over! Honestly, the last thing that I wanted to do is see Rex McAllister’s face tonight and most importantly, I didn’t want to see Raven Roberts at all! I would have rather this match been replaced with a Luis match!
(The camera pans to Raven Roberts outside of the ring, clearly heartbroken of the loss. Falling short of winning any championship would be upsetting. That’s more than a valid reason. Rex McAllister kneels down, whispering something in Raven’s ear, assuring her that he’s more than proud. She put her entire heart on the line. She fought with what she had to offer and this was the best that she could have done in the situation.
Gavin Kirkland: I think that there are some people that believed that it was Raven Roberts’ night! Everything seemed to be more than aligned for Raven to knock off the champion, but this is Milli Banks, ladies and gentleman! The GOAT! One of the best that this company has to offer! Raven put on a brilliant performance! Most certainly on her A-game and that’s the least that you can do for someone like Milli Banks! But, Milli was no slouch either! She went out there and showed everyone why she has been champion for seven months now!
(Milli Banks rolls out of the ring and extends her hand out for Raven Roberts to accept. Raven takes a moment to process before accepting Milli’s hand. The two women shake on it. The crowd applauded both women for an amazing match up. A small conversation between Milli, Raven and Rex goes on. Obviously, it’s nothing, but respect from those three. With that, Rex begins to help up Raven from ringside and up the ramp. Milli rolls herself out of the ring and resumes her celebration inside the ring.)
Stew-O: At midnight, Milli Banks will tie Ms. Extreme as the longest-reigning Universal Women’s Champion. The following day, Milli will officially take her place as the longest-reigning Universal Women’s Champion in EAW history! If Raven Roberts wasn’t able to stop her, who is going to?
Gavin Kirkland: At this point, NO ONE, Stew! Congratulations on Milli Banks on her history-making victory!

(King of Elite returns to ringside, where a gigantic cell is seen surrounding the ring. The cell for this match is strapped from top to bottom with various explosives.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!
Bella Braxton: AND IT IS THE CHAIRMAN’S LAIR…. FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!
(‘Praise Gawd’ by Kanye West hits, causing the fans in attendance to begin booing as loud as they can. The camera transitions towards the stage as flames are seen shooting out, and soon after this, out walks Methuselah to the stage. Methuselah has a focused look on his face tonight as he makes his way down the ramp, walking towards the structure he is responsible for as the creator of this stipulation.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… From The Ether… Weighing in at 17 stone… HE IS THE DEMIURGE, MEEEEEETTHUUUUSEELLAAHHHH!!!!!!
James Peters: Methuselah is on his way to the ring for a match that’s months in the making. After all, this started back at Wicked Games when Methuselah betrayed Michael Machina. Since then, these two have wanted to dismantle each other.
Rich Russillo: Things took a turn at Road to Redemption when Machina would win the EAW World Championship, but now Methuselah had the chance to take that from him in a match of his creation.
(As Methuselah waits inside of the cell, ‘Apostle’s Warning by Mobb Deep hits. The crowd explodes with cheers as Michael Machina walks out, wearing his EAW World Championship around his waist. Machina is staring directly at Methuselah, and there’s a furious look in his eyes after everything these two have done to each other already. Without wasting time, Machina begins making his way to the ring, ready to start the match as soon as possible.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent… From Brooklyn, New York… Weighing in at 250 pounds… HE IS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, THE NEW LEGEND, MIIIICHAAEELLLLL MAAAACCHHIIINNNAAAAAA!!!!!!!
James Peters: The Champion is here, and as you said, Methuselah is the one that made this happen. Even so, Michael Machina has taken this challenge head on. After that stick of dynamite last week though, he should probably be a bit careful.
Rich Russillo: In a match like this, one single stick of dynamite isn’t much of a worry. Things can, and likely will get much worse. Let’s see if Machina can retain his Championship in spite of that.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: AND THIS MATCH IS UNDERWAY, AS BOTH MEN RUSH RIGHT AT EACH OTHER AND BEGIN TRADING PUNCHES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! THIS MATCH ONLY JUST STARTED AND ALREADY IT HAS TURNED INTO A BRAWL AS BOTH MEN ARE JUST THROWING FOREARMS AT EACH OTHER! WE ALREADY KNEW THESE TWO HAD EXTREME LEVELS OF ANIMOSITY TOWARDS EACH OTHER AFTER EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED, AND NOW IS THE TIME FOR THEM TO FINALLY TAKE ALL OF THEIR HATRED OUT ON EACH OTHER!
Rich Russillo: METHUSELAH SWINGS AT MICHAEL MACHINA, BUT MACHINA WAS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT BEFORE GRABBING METHUSELAH AND RUSHING INTO THE CORNER, RAMMING METHUSELAH BACK FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! METHUSELAH STUMBLES OUT OF THE CORNER, AND NOW MACHINA RUNS THE ROPES!
James Peters: RIGHT INTO A BIG BOOT BY METHUSELAH! MACHINA IS CAUGHT BY THE BOOT AND STUMBLES INTO THE CORNER, AND NOW METHUSELAH BACKS INTO THE FAR CORNER OF THE RING, CLEARLY HAVING SOMETHING IN MIND AS HE RUNS IN TOWARDS THE CHAMPION!
Rich Russillo: RAPTURE!!!!!!
Persephone: IT CONNECTED??? No way! Don’t tell me the one match literally filled with explosives is gonna be the one that actually ends quickly!
James Peters: MICHAEL MACHINA WAS CAUGHT WITH RAPTURE, AND THAT MIGHT’VE JUST KNOCKED HIS LIGHTS OUT EARLY! MICHAEL MACHINA SLOWLY STUMBLES OUT OF THE CORNER, AND METHUSELAH BOUNCES OFF OF THE ROPES, POTENTIALLY LOOKING TO FINISH THIS MATCH UP EARLY AND WALK OUT OF THIS CELL AS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION! METHUSELAH BOUNCES OFF OF THE OPPOSITE PAIR OF ROPES!
Rich Russillo: ONLY TO COME FACE TO FACE WITH A CHARGING MICHAEL MACHINA, AS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION JUST TOOK METHUSELAH’S HEAD OFF WITH THE MONEY SHOT!!!!
James Peters: MICHAEL MACHINA JUST RESPONDED TO METHUSELAH’S RAPTURE WITH THE MONEY SHOT, AND WE’RE NOT EVEN FIVE MINUTES INTO THIS MATCH! MICHAEL MACHINA PUSHES HIMSELF UP AS HE SEES METHUSELAH STIRRING, AND IT LOOKS LIKE MACHINA IS FIRED UP! THE CHAMPION HAS METHUSELAH IN HIS SIGHTS, AS HE BEGINS TO LIFT METHUSELAH UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS FOR THE .50 CAL!
Rich Russillo: HE DOESN’T GET IT, THOUGH! METHUSELAH WAS ABLE TO DROP AN ELBOW DOWN ON TOP OF MICHAEL MACHINA’S HEAD, CAUSING MACHINA TO LET GO OF METHUSELAH! Methuselah stumbles backwards towards the ropes after landing on his feet, and it looks like he just saved himself from what would’ve been a devastating powerbomb!
Persephone: Yeah, but he’s not in the clear, yet. Michael Machina is still standing somehow, and he charges at Methuselah before-
James Peters: OH MY GOD!
(*BOOM*!)
(Immediately, the fast pace the match started with reaches a screeching halt as smoke begins to fill the ringside area. Michael Machina had rushed in to attack Methuselah, but this only allowed the Chairman to lift Machina over the top rope with a back body drop, sending him directly into one of the explosives this cell has been completely covered with. Michael Machina is seen laid out at ringside, and as Methuselah slowly turns his attention towards the World Champion, he has a sinister smile on his face.)
Rich Russillo: MICHAEL MACHINA WAS JUST SENT CRASHING RIGHT INTO ONE OF THE EXPLOSIVES, AND RIGHT NOW HE LOOKS LIFELESS! These two were throwing their all at each other from the moment the bell rang, taking their best moves and getting back up while they still had enough strength to, but I think all the strength just left the Champion’s body with that explosion. He shouldn’t even be able to continue the match after that, yet we still may only just be getting started!
Persephone: At least they didn’t waste time. That was pretty fun.
James Peters: Methuselah slowly makes his way out to ringside, meanwhile Michael Machina hasn’t moved a muscle. Honestly I think that referee should be checking whether or not Machina is even in any condition to continue, but seeing as Methuselah is the Chairman of this company, I’m sure that ref would rather stay out of the way right now.
Rich Russillo: Methuselah makes his way over towards Michael Machina before slowly dragging him towards the steel steps. I don’t really know what he could possibly have planned here, but Methuselah is the same man who came up with this stipulation in the first place. Knowing his mind, it can’t be anything good.
Persephone: I don’t know what you’re talking about! This is perfect! Methuselah just kicked the top half of the steel steps off so he could pull Michael Machina’s head onto the bottom half, and I’m not gonna lie, I think he’s about to kill Michael Machina.
James Peters: :lupe: You might actually be right. Methuselah raises the top half of the steps while Michael Machina is still laid out. There’s no way! Don’t do this!
Rich Russillo: METHUSELAH SLAMS THE STEEL STEPS DOWN ONTO MICHAEL MACHINA’S HEAD, CRUSHING HIS HEAD BETWEEN BOTH HALVES OF THE STEPS!
James Peters: METHUSELAH HAS DESTROYED MICHAEL MACHINA, AND AFTER THIS I DON’T THINK THERE’S ANY WAY HE GETS BACK INTO THIS! BLOOD SLOWLY BEGINS TO POUR OUT OF THE BACK OF MICHAEL MACHINA’S HEAD, AND IF THE REFEREE WASN’T STOPPING THIS MATCH BEFORE, HE DEFINITELY NEEDS TO NOW! Michael Machina knew he was heading into a dangerous match, but I don’t think he could’ve expected things to turn out like this!
Rich Russillo: Methuselah grabs Michael Machina before tying his left arm in between the ropes, and now he digs under the apron before taking out a lead pipe! Methuselah knows that Michael Machina is completely lifeless, but it doesn’t look like he cares. Methuselah doesn’t seem willing to stop until there isn’t the slightest chance of Machina getting back into this, AS HE HITS MACHINA RIGHT IN THE RIBS WITH THE LEAD PIPE! METHUSELAH WITH A SECOND SHOT TO THE RIBS, AND NOW A THIRD! Michael Machina can’t even fight back. At this point this is getting hard to watch, and-
(*CRACK!*)
Persephone: THAT’S what I was waiting for! Methuselah hit Machina right in the head with the lead pipe!
(*CRACK!*)
(*CRACK!*)
(*CRACK!*)
Rich Russillo: Methuselah with even more shots to the head, and now it’s not just the back of the head that blood is pouring from. His head is slowly being covered in it now. This is bad, and it’s only going to get worse if it continues at this rate. They need to just ring the bell.
Persephone: Shut up! We don’t get to see people die around here often! Don’t ruin this for me!
James Peters: Methuselah finally unties Machina’s arm before sending him back into the ring, and Methuselah has just been torturing Michael Machina for a while now. I don’t even know what else to say. He’s been destroying Machina ever since he crashed into that first explosive, and we have to remember, this cell is FILLED with explosives from top to bottom! This type of stipulation wasn’t made for anyone to walk out of in one piece, that’s for sure. Methuselah slides into the ring before slowly dragging Michael Machina into a double underhook, and I think this might be it.
Rich Russillo: Methuselah has Machina in position, TO END THIS MATCH WITH THE MK DRIVER-
James Peters: WAIT A SECOND!!!
Persephone: ?????
Rich Russillo: MICHAEL MACHINA DROPPED TO HIS KNEES BEFORE METHUSELAH COULD HIT THE MK DRIVER, AND HE HITS METHUSELAH WITH A LOW BLOW!!!!
James Peters: WE SAW WHAT METHUSELAH DID TO ADAM LUCAS IN THEIR MATCH RECENTLY! METHUSELAH PROVED HE’S NOT AGAINST UNDERHANDED TACTICS, AND MICHAEL MACHINA JUST TOOK A PAGE OUT OF HIS PLAYBOOK, BUT HOW!? HOW ON EARTH IS MICHAEL MACHINA IN ANY CONDITION TO CONTINUE AFTER EVERYTHING THAT JUST HAPPENED TO HIM!? METHUSELAH FALLS BACK INTO THE ROPES BEFORE BOUNCING OFF, AND MACHINA PUSHES HIMSELF UP, LOOKING TO MAKE THE MOST OF WHATEVER THE HELL HE STILL HAS LEFT!
Rich Russillo: MACHINA POPS METHUSELAH UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS, BEFORE PLANTING HIM ONTO THE MAT WITH THE .50 CAL!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: I always knew Michael Machina was an idiot. There’s no way there’s anything inside his head if he survived all those shots to it.
James Peters: “Survived” might be a bit generous, because I think that .50 Cal took literally everything he could possibly muster! Michael Machina fell back after delivering the move, and he hasn’t even made an attempt to move and get to the cover! Michael Machina is clearly worse for wear, but there’s a bright side to the state he’s in, as he just did some serious damage to Methuselah, who we thought was guaranteed to become the EAW World Champion only a few moments ago!
Rich Russillo: Methuselah slowly rolls out onto the apron, and I’d say Michael Machina missed out on a valuable opportunity to pin his opponent, but given the circumstances I don’t think he had enough time to, anyway. Michael Machina is finally starting to move though, and honestly the fact that he’s getting up at all is just insane. I’d say this is why he became the EAW World Champion, but this is genuinely unreal. I’ve never seen anything like this.
Persephone: Somehow Machina managed to get back on his feet after all that, but it looks like he’s thinking about something. That, or all the head shots are getting to him.
James Peters: I think it’s the former. Methuselah was out recovering on the apron for so long that he now has just enough left to slowly roll onto his feet on the apron, using the cell to slowly maintain his balance. Machina has been staring at Methuselah this whole time, and- wait.. What? What is he doing?
Rich Russillo: No, no way. He can’t be serious!
James Peters: MICHAEL MACHINA RUNS THE ROPES AS METHUSELAH IS STANDING AGAINST THE CELL, WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING!?
(*BOOM!*)
James Peters: MICHAEL MACHINA JUST FLEW INTO METHUSELAH WITH A SUICIDE DIVE, RIGHT INTO THE EXPLOSIVES!!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS MAN!? WHY WOULD HE DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT RIGHT AFTER EVERYTHING HE JUST EXPERIENCED!?!?
Rich Russillo: METHUSELAH IS OUT, AND I BELIEVE THAT RIGHT THERE IS WHY HE DID IT! MICHAEL MACHINA CLEARLY DOESN’T MIND PUTTING HIMSELF AT RISK, AS LONG AS HE’S ABLE TO DRAG METHUSELAH DOWN WITH HIM! THESE TWO ARE CLEARLY AT WAR RIGHT NOW, AND AT THIS POINT I DON’T EVEN KNOW IF EITHER MAN WILL BE WALKING OUT OF THIS ONE!
Persephone: We need more of this. Why aren’t there more matches like this?
James Peters: Well this match itself didn’t even exist before a few weeks ago, and I think we’re seeing exactly why. Michael Machina is slowly using the apron to pull himself up, and it looks like he may have been lucky enough to avoid most of that explosion. Methuselah on the other hand appears to be out, and Michael Machina is using this to his advantage as he slowly drags a steel chair out of the ring.
Rich Russillo: That doesn’t look like a normal chair though, but it looks like it’s good enough as he slowly makes his way over towards Methuselah, RAISING THE CHAIR OVER HIS HEAD BEFORE SLAMMING IT DOWN!
(*BOOM*!)
Persephone: So the chair had explosives strapped to it too. Makes sense.
James Peters: Machina drops the chair which is pretty bent out of shape after that explosion, but I don’t think it’s the chair that took the worst of that as Methuselah was just hit right in the head with it! Michael Machina doesn’t even give Methuselah time to breathe though, as he drags Methuselah up before pulling him towards the cell! Michael Machina slowly lifts Methuselah up, BEFORE THROWING HIM INTO THE EXPLOSIVE CELL WALL WITH A SUPLEX TOSS!!!!
Rich Russillo: NO! IT LOOKS LIKE THAT WAS HIS PLAN, BUT METHUSELAH BARELY SLIPPED OUT OF HIS GRASP! METHUSELAH GRABS MACHINA BEFORE PULLING THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD RIGHT INTO THE RING POST, AND IMMEDIATELY BOTH ELITISTS COLLAPSE AFTER EVERYTHING THEY JUST DID TO EACH OTHER! Methuselah just bought himself some much needed time to recover. He may have some almost superhuman resilience, but these are still explosives we’re dealing with. They’re not gonna be that easy to shake off.
Persephone: The old man is digging under the ring while Machina’s pulling himself back up. Machina slowly makes his way around the corner to catch Methuselah-
James Peters: BUT METHUSELAH TAKES OUT A LADDER, AND HE SENDS IT INTO MACHINA’S MIDSECTION BEFORE USING IT AS A BATTERING RAM, RAMMING MACHINA BACK FIRST AGAINST THE CELL!
(*BOOM!*)
Rich Russillo: This is just getting ridiculous. Michael Machina drops down onto the ringside floor, and he doesn’t look like he has anything left. Methuselah drops the ladder, and it looks like he has a plan in mind as he slowly drags Michael Machina towards the cell, slowly pressing his face against it! Methuselah makes sure to press it right up against one of the explosives still left in this area of the cell, before slowly beginning to back up. If Methuselah is planning to do what I think he is, then what Persephone said earlier might not be an exaggeration. Methuselah is actually going for the kill here!
James Peters: Methuselah has made some distance as Machina’s head is still leaning against the explosives, AND NOW METHUSELAH RUSHES IN, GOING FOR A BIG BOOT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: OH THANK GOD, MICHAEL MACHINA GOT OUT OF THE WAY! MACHINA WAS BARELY ABLE TO FALL TO HIS SIDE, FORCING METHUSELAH TO STOP HIMSELF JUST BEFORE HE COULD KICK THE EXPLOSIVE!
Persephone: So close… :mjcry:
James Peters: Methuselah quickly goes after Michael Machina as Machina slowly attempts to use the apron to get up- BUT MACHINA DELIVERS A BACK ELBOW TO THE MIDSECTION! Methuselah stumbles back, and both men are already looking sluggish after everything that happened!
Rich Russillo: Michael Machina pushes himself up before grabbing Methuselah, and slamming his face onto the apron! Machina now holding onto Methuselah still as he seems to have other intentions, and-
James Peters: HE TRIED SLAMMING THE BACK OF METHUSELAH’S HEAD INTO THE CELL, BUT METHUSELAH IS ABLE TO GRAB ONTO THE CELL JUST BEFORE HE COULD CONNECT WITH ANY OF THOSE EXPLOSIVES! NOW IT’S METHUSELAH WITH AN ELBOW, ONLY THIS IS DIRECTED RIGHT TO THE FACE OF MACHINA! Michael Machina stumbles back, but Methuselah doesn’t let him go very far before grabbing him, lifting him up for something big!
Rich Russillo: AND THERE IT IS! EGO DEATH DRIVER, RIGHT ONTO THE LADDER THAT WAS LEFT AT RINGSIDE!
Persephone: Yikes, as if things couldn’t get worse for the Champion. These two really haven’t slowed down with tearing each other apart since the match started, and that’s great. They need to keep this up.
James Peters: Well it looks like Methuselah plans to do exactly that. He slowly is able to pull himself back to his feet, and he makes his way over towards where those steps he used and that lead pipe were located. It seems like Methuselah has something in mind, and he knows exactly where it is. Methuselah digs under the ring, and… Uh oh.
Rich Russillo: We’ve seen this before, and now once again we’ll be seeing the Winged Metatron’s Cube make an appearance! This was once used to defeat Jamie, or then-called Yhwach O’Hara one on one, and the next time we saw it was when he took out the EAW World Champion, the same man laid out at ringside right now! This was way back before Road to Redemption, and now after all this time, it looks like history may be repeating itself!
Persephone: Great. We’re gonna be stuck with a 70 year old World Champion now because Michael Machina sucks.
James Peters: Methuselah slowly makes his way back over to where Michael Machina was planted, and while this has been a very back and forth match, it can’t be denied that Machina has suffered some serious damage. It all traces back to what happened early on, and now we may be seeing the final stages of this one as Methuselah has that Winged Metatron’s Cube in his hand, ready to bring this match to an en-
Rich Russillo: BULLET FROM HELL!!!!!!
(*BOOM!*)
(*BOOM!*)
(*BOOM!*)
(*BOOM!*)
(*BOOM!*)
(*BOOM!*)
(*BOOM!*)
(*BOOM!*)
Persephone: WHAT JUST HAPPENED???
James Peters: MICHAEL MACHINA JUST SPEARED METHUSELAH THROUGH THE CELL WALL, BREAKING IT DOWN AND SETTING OFF ALL THE EXPLOSIVES ON THAT PART OF THE WALL!!!!!!! MICHAEL MACHINA AND METHUSELAH ARE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE TIMEKEEPERS AREA, RIGHT ON TOP OF A CELL WALL THAT’S BEEN ALMOST COMPLETELY FRIED BY ALL OF THOSE EXPLOSIVES! MICHAEL MACHINA SLOWLY ROLLS OFF OF METHUSELAH, BUT I DON’T THINK THERE WAS ANY AVOIDING THE EXPLOSION THAT TIME AROUND! BOTH HE AND METHUSELAH FELT THAT ONE!
Rich Russillo: I have to say, this is one terrifying structure. Just that one small part of this giant cell caused eight different explosives to go off. For there to be this many goes to show that Methuselah was completely serious about everything he said. He doesn’t want to give Michael Machina the slightest bit of hope of retaining his Championship, which must be exactly why he brought out the Winged Megatron’s Cube, yet STILL Michael Machina is finding a way to not only fight back, but destroy Methuselah! To say these two are tearing each other apart might be an understatement at this point.
James Peters: Neither man has moved much after that spear, which I can’t say is surprising. This hasn’t been the traditional match, far from it. These two have just been doing whatever they could think of. Whatever they could do to dish out some serious punishment to their opponent. This all has been brewing since Wicked Games, when Methuselah betrayed Michael Machina. This was months in the making, and at this rate there’s no telling exactly who will leave this match as the EAW World Champion! Better yet, there’s no telling if either man will even be in any condition to return to Voltage by the time this is over.
Rich Russillo: Michael Machina is slowly beginning to crawl away from the area, but only so he could finally grab onto the barricade and begin pulling himself up. I think this is far from the first time we’ve thought this, but I have no idea how they’re still moving. It can’t be said enough that this match has taken a serious toll on the Elitists in this match, but with the EAW World Championship on the line, they’re not holding anything back.
Persephone: Exactly, and it’s perfect. It’s too bad that they’re both still in one piece after all that though. I think they need bigger bombs.
James Peters: I don’t think I need to explain why we don’t seeing the condition these two are already in. By the time this one is over they may just be covered in blood and burns, and to be honest I don’t even know HOW this will end. Michael Machina slowly uses the barricade to pull himself up, meanwhile Methuselah hasn’t even moved. It looks like Methuselah’s actions have backfired as the stipulation he created has left him like this! Michael Machina is finally dragging Methuselah to his feet before lifting him up, AND HE JUST THROWS HIM RIGHT INTO THE TIMEKEEPERS AREA, SENDING METHUSELAH CRASHING RIGHT INTO THE RING BELL!
Rich Russillo: It looks like these two are able to get away from all the explosives for a moment, but I’m not so sure that makes Methuselah any safer seeing the position he’s in! He went head first into the bell, and now it looks like Michael Machina has something big in mind! Michael Machina climbs over to where Methuselah is before picking him up, and now he begins climbing up onto the barricade! Michael Machina is being very careful here, AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS FOR GOOD REASON, AS HE CONNECTS WITH A HUGE MOONSAULT FALLAWAY SLAM OFF OF THE BARRICADE, AND RIGHT ONTO THE FALLEN CAGE WALL!
James Peters: MICHAEL MACHINA SLOWLY RETURNS TO HIS FEET, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE ISN’T DONE JUST YET! HE HAS A FIRED UP LOOK IN HIS EYES AS HE STARES AT METHUSELAH, AND NOW HE PULLS HIM UP BEFORE THROWING HIM- OH MY GOD! MICHAEL MACHINA JUST SENT METHUSELAH FLYING ACROSS OUR TABLE!
Persephone: What’s wrong with him?? He couldn’t have given us a warning before doing that?? I barely got out of the way in time!
Rich Russillo: That was a close one. Michael Machina now dragging Methuselah away from our area, AND HE JUST DELIVERS A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION! Methuselah isn’t in good shape right now, AND NOW MACHINA LOOKS TO DISH OUT EVEN MORE PUNISHMENT AS HE SENDS HIM INTO THE CELL!
James Peters: METHUSELAH IS ABLE TO GRAB ONTO THE CELL THOUGH, STOPPING HIMSELF IN HIS TRACKS! Methuselah now turning around, AND HE SEES MACHINA RUSHING TOWARDS HIM-
Rich Russillo: BUT METHUSELAH POPS MACHINA UP AND OVER HIS HEAD, CAUSING MACHINA TO HAVE TO LATCH ONTO THE CELL TO AVOID CRASHING INTO IT! MACHINA IS HANGING ONTO THE CELL ABOVE METHUSELAH, AND METHUSELAH QUICKLY USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO QUICKLY GRAB A CHAIR FROM THE TIMEKEEPERS AREA- BEFORE LAUNCHING IT RIGHT AT MACHINA’S BACK!
James Peters: Michael Machina manages to avoid letting go of the cell, but he’s only hanging on with one hand now! Methuselah picks the chair back up, and it looks like he has an idea in mind now as he slowly begins to climb the cell, looking to join Machina! Both men are on the side of the cell right now, and whatever it is Methuselah is planning, saying it’s dangerous is an understatement seeing the position these two are in!
Rich Russillo: Methuselah makes it to Michael Machina- BUT MACHINA IS ABLE TO PUNCH METHUSELAH, TRYING TO KNOCK HIM OFF OF THE CELL! Methuselah doesn’t fall off though, and instead slowly begins climbing higher up! Michael Machina slowly begins climbing up to follow Methuselah, BUT METHUSELAH HITS MACHINA WITH AN ELBOW, STILL HOLDING THE CHAIR IN HIS HAND! Both Elitists are slowly scaling the cell, all while repeatedly hitting each other with whatever they can to try and push each other off! Machina and Methuselah, right now they are more than halfway up the cell!
Persephone: Why is Methuselah still carrying that chair, anyway? Climbing up there while holding it already isn’t easy. Is he *trying* to fall off the cell?
James Peters: Trust me, I don’t think any of us knows just what Methuselah is thinking right now! Michael Machina and Methuselah are close to the top of the cell, AND MACHINA LOOKS FOR ANOTHER PUNCH- BUT METHUSELAH USES THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GRAB MACHINA BY THE HEAD, SLAMMING HIS FACE AGAINST THE CELL! Doing that caused Machina to nearly fall off entirely, and seeing that he’s stunned, it looks like Methuselah is repositioning himself for something!
Rich Russillo: Methuselah slowly turns himself around, having to be as careful as possible knowing that he has the chair on his arm! Methuselah slowly pulling himself closer to Michael Machina, and… Oh my God. :lupe:
Persephone: We should probably get out of the way…
James Peters: METHUSELAH HOLDS ONTO MICHAEL MACHINA WITH THE CHAIR ACROSS HIS BACK, AS BOTH MEN FALL OFF THE SIDE OF THE CELL AND THROUGH OUR TABLE WITH THE WINGS OF HELL!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: WHAT THE HELL!?!? WHAT WAS METHUSELAH THINKING! HE TOOK A HUGE RISK, AND IN TURN HE MIGHT’VE JUST DESTROYED BOTH MICHAEL MACHINA AND HIMSELF!
Persephone: Wow. So… What now? I think these two are dead. Do we just leave them here?
Rich Russillo: :lupe: That’s a good question. I’m sure the referee has to call for the bell, but what happens to the EAW World Championship? After all this, there can’t be any way Michael Machina is actually in any condition to compete. Will the title have to be vacated-
James Peters: No, I don’t think anything like that is going to happen. Looking at the two of them right now… I think we might be seeing a new Champion.
(The camera gets a close-up of the two Elitists following the Wings of Hell through the commentary table, and thanks to what is shown, boos slowly begin to fill the Soldier Field. While Michael Machina is still laid out and completely lifeless in the remains of the table, Methuselah is beginning to move.)
Persephone: How is the fossil still moving after all that? Shouldn’t his bones basically be dust right now?
James Peters: I don’t think there’s even any point in asking questions at this point. Methuselah has always been almost inhuman, and right now he’s showing it once more as he’s somehow finding his way back to his feet.
Rich Russillo: This is unreal. Methuselah is dragging Michael Machina back into the cell, and it looks like he intends to finally finish this one.
James Peters: Methuselah sends Michael Machina back into the ring before following behind, and with Michael Machina still lifeless, I don’t think there’s any questioning what’s about to happen. Methuselah drags Michael Machina up, and it looks like we’re about to have ourselves a new EAW World Champion.
Rich Russillo: *MK DRIVER!!!!!!*
Persephone: :comeagain:
James Peters: WHAT???
Rich Russillo: MICHAEL MACHINA JUST LIFTED METHUSELAH UP BEFORE HE COULD HIT THE MK DRIVER, ALLOWING THE CHAMPION TO PLANT HIM WITH THE SKULLPIERCER!!!!!!
James Peters: Michael Machina slowly rolls out of the ring just so he could use the apron to stand, and he once again was able to find a way to save his Championship reign after a move that I think we all believed would be the end for him! We already knew Methuselah was abnormally resilient and capable of getting back up no matter what he took, but Michael Machina right now is showing Methuselah that taking that title from him was never gonna be easy!
Rich Russillo: Michael Machina drops down to his knees, and despite being given time to recover, he was still hit with the Wings of Hell from such an unreal height. Michael Machina is still in a bad spot, but it looks like he’s making the most of this time as he begins digging under the ring, seemingly looking for a few weapons to bring into this! It looks like Machina is starting with a table!
Persephone: Not just that. Are there explosives strapped to that table, too?
James Peters: It looks like it! Machina slides the table into the ring before digging under once more, and he takes out a light tube! Michael Machina knows that too much time has passed for him to go for a cover, so it looks like he plans to keep doing damage!
Rich Russillo: Methuselah slowly makes his way over towards the ropes, using them to begin pulling himself back up. Michael Machina makes his way back into the ring in the meantime, AND HE HITS METHUSELAH RIGHT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE LIGHT TUBE, SHATTERING IT ON IMPACT! METHUSELAH STUMBLES INTO THE CORNER, DROPPING DOWN INTO A SEATED POSITION AS MACHINA SLOWLY BEGINS TO BACK UP!
James Peters: Michael Machina sets up that explosive table while Methuselah is out, and I think this right here is exactly what he needed. Michael Machina is taking this much needed time to try and push through what must be grueling pain, and if he keeps this up, he might just be able to retain his Championship after all! Methuselah is slowly using the ropes to pull himself up in the corner, AND NOW MICHAEL MACHINA CHARGES IN, CONNECTING WITH A HUGE RUNNING SHOULDER THRUST! MACHINA BACKS INTO THE FAR CORNER ONCE AGAIN, AND HE RUSHES IN BEFORE DELIVERING A SECOND SHOULDER THRUST!
Rich Russillo: MICHAEL MACHINA RUNS THE ROPES AS METHUSELAH STUMBLES OUT OF THE CORNER, AND HE FLIES AT THE CHAIRMAN WITH A HUGE SHOULDER TACKLE!!!! MICHAEL MACHINA HAS AN INTENSE LOOK ON HIS FACE RIGHT NOW, AND AFTER ALL THIS TIME IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S FOUND THE STRENGTH TO TAKE METHUSELAH DOWN! MICHAEL MACHINA PULLS DOWN THE STRAPS OF HIS SINGLET, PREPARING HIMSELF TO END THIS MATCH ONCE AND FOR ALL!
Persephone: I guess those old bones actually gave out after all. Methuselah hasn’t been able to fight back ever since he got dropped on his head.
James Peters: You’re right, and right now it looks like Methuselah may be on the verge of missing out on the EAW World Championship! He slowly begins stumbling back to his feet, BUT I DON’T THINK HE REALIZES THAT HE’S EXACTLY WHERE MICHAEL MACHINA WANTS HIM!
Rich Russillo: METHUSELAH MAKES IT BACK TO HIS FEET, AND NOW MICHAEL MACHINA BURSTS OUT OF THE CORNER!
James Peters: BULLET FROM HELL!!!!
Persephone: Yikes…
Rich Russillo: METHUSELAH JUST KICKED MICHAEL MACHINA BELOW THE BELT! METHUSELAH WITH A LOW BLOW, STOPPING MACHINA FROM CONNECTING WITH THE BULLET FROM HELL!!!!
James Peters: MICHAEL MACHINA STUMBLES BACKWARDS TO A KNEE, AND NOW METHUSELAH RUNS THE ROPES AS THE CHAMPION PUSHES HIMSELF BACK UP!
Rich Russillo: SPEEEAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: METHUSELAH CONNECTS WITH THE SPEAR, BREAKING MICHAEL MACHINA IN HALF!!!! MICHAEL MACHINA IS DOWN AND OUT, AND METHUSELAH JUST MADE USE OF THE SAME KIND OF MOVE MACHINA USED TO SAVE HIMSELF AT THE START OF THIS!
Rich Russillo: METHUSELAH PULLS HIMSELF ON TOP OF MICHAEL MACHINA, AND THERE’S NO QUESTION ABOUT IT! THIS ONE IS OVER, AND WE HAVE A NEW EAW WORLD CHAMPION AS METHUSELAH FINALLY GOES FOR THE FIRST, AND ONLY PINFALL OF THIS MATCH!!!!!!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: Are you serious??
Rich Russillo: MICHAEL MACHINA GOT THE SHOULDER UP!?!?
James Peters: THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!! THESE TWO HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY POSSIBLY COULD TO EACH OTHER! THEY’VE TORN EACH OTHER APART! THEY CRASHED THROUGH OUR TABLE FROM NEARLY THE TOP OF THIS CELL! THEY’VE BEEN ON THE RECEIVING END OF SO MANY EXPLOSIVES, AND MICHAEL MACHINA WAS JUST HIT WITH METHUSELAH’S SPEAR! ALL OF THIS, AND MICHAEL MACHINA MANAGED TO GET THE SHOULDER UP! THERE’S JUST NO WAY!
Rich Russillo: Methuselah slowly pushes himself back to his feet, and he doesn’t look too pleased to see that Machina is still in this. I can’t even say I blame him, honestly. After everything these two have put each other through, there’s absolutely no reason why Michael Machina should’ve been able to kick out of that. They’ve been brawling nonstop since this one started, to the point where that was the first cover of the match. For Machina to still be in this one is unreal, but it just goes to show that this EAW World Championship is serious business, and this match is so personal that they can’t even allow themselves to lose.
James Peters: Methuselah slowly rolls out of the ring, and it looks like he has his eyes on exactly what he brought into the match earlier, the Winged Metatron’s Cube. Methuselah dropped the weapon when he was hit with that Bullet From Hell through the cell, and it looks like he’s about to try to do what he couldn’t earlier and make sure this one comes to a definitive end. Methuselah makes his way back into the ring, meanwhile Michael Machina looks like he’s done. He’s still feeling the effects of that spear, and that’s not exactly a surprise given everything else he’s been through.
Rich Russillo: Methuselah slowly begins to drag Michael Machina up, and as he pulls Machina to a knee, HE RAISES THE WINGED METATRON’S CUBE, LOOKING TO END THIS ONE WITH A SHOT TO THE HEAD, JUST LIKE HE DID AGAINST JAMIE O’HARA!
James Peters: BUT MICHAEL MACHINA IS ABLE TO THROW A PUNCH TO THE RIBS OF METHUSELAH! METHUSELAH WAS ABLE TO CATCH JAMIE OFF GUARD WITH THAT WEAPON TWO YEARS AGO, BUT METHUSELAH GAVE MACHINA JUST ENOUGH TIME TO FIND THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT BACK, EVEN IF FOR A MOMENT!
Rich Russillo: METHUSELAH RESPONDS BY SWINGING AT MACHINA WITH THE WINGED METATRON’S CUBE, BUT MACHINA IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER BEFORE GRABBING THE END OF THAT BROKEN LIGHT TUBE, STABBING IT INTO METHUSELAH’S THIGH!
Persephone: More blood, sounds good to me. A stab to the leg is the last thing Methuselah of all people needs though, so surprisingly it looks like Michael Machina actually made a smart choice.
James Peters: Methuselah grabs his leg as Machina reaches towards the ropes to pull himself up, BUT METHUSELAH DOESN’T MAKE THINGS THAT EASY FOR MACHINA, AS HE LUNGES IN WITH A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION! Methuselah stumbles back before pulling that broken light tube out of his leg, but once again Michael Machina was able to force Methuselah to lose the Winged Metatron’s Cube! Michael Machina slowly pulls himself up in the corner, but even after that stab it looks like Methuselah isn’t slowing down too much!
Rich Russillo: BUT MACHINA IS ABLE TO POP METHUSELAH UP FOR A FLAPJACK, CAUSING HIM TO GO FACE FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Michael Machina slowly pulls himself out of the corner, and now he sends Methuselah into the ropes-
James Peters: NO HE DOESN’T! METHUSELAH TURNS IT AROUND, BEFORE PULLING MACHINA BACK FOR A LEAPING REVERSE STO! Methuselah pushes himself back up, but that stab to the leg did some damage and I think it’s beginning to show itself. Methuselah doesn’t allow that to get to him, though. He pulls Machina up into a double underhook, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH METH FX! Methuselah pulling himself back to his feet, and he’s holding onto Machina in the meantime, AS HE TRANSITIONS INTO THE METH FX BACKBREAKER! Methuselah now watching as he sees Machina fall down to a knee, and it looks like he has something in mind!
Rich Russillo: You’re right about that, AS HE SHAKES OFF THE PAIN IN HIS LEG, RUNNING TOWARDS THE ROPES AND GOING FOR THE SPRING DEMOLITION-
Persephone: NOPE! MICHAEL MACHINA WAS ABLE TO RUN IN BEHIND METHUSELAH, DUMPING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE!
James Peters: METHUSELAH LANDS ON THE APRON, THOUGH! Methuselah pulls himself back up after failing to connect with Demolition- BUT WAIT, WAIT A SECOND!
Rich Russillo: MICHAEL MACHINA USES WHATEVER BIT OF STRENGTH HE HAS LEFT TO IMMEDIATELY BEGIN RUNNING THE ROPES, AND- OH MY GOD!
(*BOOM!*)
James Peters: MICHAEL MACHINA WITH A BULLET FROM HELL THROUGH THE ROPES, RIGHT INTO THE EXPLOSIVE CELL!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: MICHAEL MACHINA ONCE AGAIN PUTTING HIS OWN BODY ON THE LINE, ONLY THIS TIME I DON’T THINK THERE’S EVEN ANY QUESTIONING EXACTLY WHO GOT THE WORST OF THAT! METHUSELAH WAS JUST HIT WITH THE SAME MOVE MACHINA HAS USED TO WIN COUNTLESS MATCHES, AND ONCE AGAIN IT HAS FORCED METHUSELAH TO FEEL THE IMPACT OF AN EXPLOSION RIGHT ON HIS BACK!
Persephone: Machina nearly went head first into those explosives twice now, and both times were self inflicted. Ridiculous.
James Peters: The fact that it didn’t go into it is exactly why he did it, though! Michael Machina is the kind of Elitist that’s more than willing to be risky, sometimes more than necessary, but he knows what he’s doing and if you need any further proof, just look at Michael Machina now! He’s pulling himself up, and he’s able to send Methuselah into the ring to finally end this!
Rich Russillo: MACHINA SLIDES INTO THE RING, BUT INSTEAD OF GOING FOR THE COVER HE SENDS METHUSELAH INTO THE COVER WHERE THE EXPLOSIVE TABLE WAS! MACHINA IS MAKING HIS WAY TO THE TOP ROPE, AND HE CLEARLY HAS SOMETHING IN MIND RIGHT NOW!
James Peters: MICHAEL MACHINA IS UP TOP, AND HE JUST GRABS ONTO METHUSELAH, YELLING BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! HE’S ALREADY SPEARED METHUSELAH INTO THOSE EXPLOSIVES TWICE! HE’S DONE EVERYTHING ELSE HE COULD THINK OF! WHAT MORE COULD HE HAVE LEFT!?
Rich Russillo: I THINK WE’RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT!
(*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!*)
Persephone: :oh:
James Peters: NO WAY!
Rich Russillo: *MICHAEL MACHINA JUST JUMPED OFF OF THE TOP ROPE, PUTTING METHUSELAH THROUGH THE EXPLOSIVE TABLE WITH THE MIDAS BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: THAT WAS EVERYTHING MACHINA HAD LEFT! HE’S FINISHED! MICHAEL MACHINA JUST FIRED THE BEST SHOT HE HAD, AND IT HIT HIS TARGET! MICHAEL MACHINA IS ABLE TO BARELY PULL HIMSELF OVER METHUSELAH, AND FINALLY THE CHAMPION IS ABLE TO GO FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen here is your winner… AANNNNDDDDDDDD SSTTILLLLLLL THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION…. MIIIIIIIIIICCHAAAEELLLLLL MAAAAAAAACHHIIINNAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
(Michael Machina remains on top of Methuselah as ‘Apostle’s Warning’ hits. The crowd explodes with cheers, as happy as possible for the EAW World Champion after such a significant victory. After such a grueling match neither man is able to move for a while though, until slowly Michael Machina rolls off of Methuselah, leaning upwards just enough for the referee to hand him his EAW World Championship. Machina is slowly able to roll out of the ring, allowing him to return to his feet and raise his Championship in the air as the cell door is carefully opened.)
James Peters: WOW. That was just a war from start to finish, to the point where I don’t think either of these men should even be able to stand right now! The fact that they put each other through all this is unreal, but in the end, look who came out on top!
Rich Russillo: Michael Machina was able to retain the EAW World Championship against Methuselah, and that’s as big of a win as you could ever ask for! This is huge for the Champion, especially after everything these two put each other through.
Persephone: Was what Methuselah did really even that bad? Why would anyone trust Methuselah of all people? That was Machina’s fault if you ask me.
James Peters: Well either way, I…
(As Michael Machina slowly steps out of the cell, Methuselah can be seen in the center of the ring, having risen despite all of the injuries he’s sustained. Despite the many officials and medics running down the ramp, Methuselah’s attention is only on one person, that being the EAW World Champion.)
Persephone: What a creep. How is he even able to move after all that, let alone get back up?
James Peters: I don’t know, but either way, only one of these men were able to walk out of this, and his name is Michael Machina.
(As Michael Machina slowly makes his way to the ramp, raising his Championship following his victory, Methuselah glares at the Champion from within the cell. With this final shot, King of Elite fades from ringside.)
(A commercial plays for Wicked, featuring Michael Machina and Bea Valentine doing their own rendition of ‘Defying Gravity’.)

(Up above the ring, the screen shows off Drake Armstrong of Dynasty, TLA of Showdown, and Solomon Stane of Voltage. Then, the camera cuts to the stage where the lights dim, and the stage goes up in flames. ‘The World is Gonna End Tonight’ by the Hope County Choir hits. Standing behind the flames are members of the Children of Sanity choir. Solomon parts the flames like the Red Seas as he makes his way out. Trixie follows him out and accompanies him down to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, and representing Voltage! Being accompanied to the ring by Trixie Stane, he is the EAW Hardcore Champion… ‘Your Savior’, SOLOMOOOOON STAAAAAAAAAAAAANE!!!
Stew-O: Well, Persephone, wanna do the honors since he is on your show?
Persephone: *sigh*. Do I have to?
Gavin Kirkland: It’d be nice.
Persephone: Fine.
(She takes out a crumpled piece of paper from her handbag and reads off of it.)
Persephone: “Solomon Stane has had a transformation unlike any other. From former tag team champion who never had a substantial time under the sun to a man many thought wasn’t going to make it to the top, he went from a name that was the butt of all jokes to *the* name everyone talks about. A feared and fearsome Elitist, he has evolved to the point where we cannot be denied. After coming into season eighteen as a man on a mission, he was able to become the Hardcore Champion, defeating one of the most decorated Hall of Famers of all time in Cameron Ella Ava. Now, he can call himself a King of Elite finalist, and the Deliverer has the chance to deliver his message onto the rest of the EAW Universe: Solomon Stane shall rise, and may God have mercy on those who wish to deny him of this rightful place he has earned.”
Stew-O: :notbad:
Gavin Kirkland: Wow, you put a lot of thought into that one, Persi! Great work!
Persephone: He’s a sick Jesus freak and a looney fuck, but… he *does* deserve to be here. Frankly, he could’ve been a world champion already if it wasn’t for that stupid emo skank Caroline, but at least he has the chance to be a double champ, so hey, it all worked out in the end. :wow:
Stew-O: And that’s the same sentiment shared by many—even if those same people may be a bit creeped out by Solomon. :lupe: He has built himself up to be a force to be reckoned with, and tonight, he could very well stamp his name into immortality as he comes the new King of Elite.
(Trixie parts with a kiss to his cheek.. but before she gets to her position at ringside, she whispers into his ear. Solomon listens intently, then nods.)
Solomon Stane: (off-mic) It shall be like the Lord intended.
(Both of them smirk, before Solomon steps into the ring. The Children of Sanity Choir bow their heads, as does Trixie, and Solomon says his prayer with that red spotlight casting down upon him. After he says ‘Amen’, the choir departs, and the lights return to normal. Stane gets to his corner, looking up ahead at the stage.)
(On the titantron, a group of low riders travel through the Chicago streets before pulling up to the Soldier Field Arena. The fans cheer, already knowing who’s about to show up next.)
Gavin Kirkland: YESSIR! HE’S HERE!
(Then, the shot from the titantron transitions away. Coming out along the side is a white and gold low rider, with women from the Poon Palace smiling and dancing. In the driver seat is TLA, and next to him is…)
Stew-O: LUDACRIS!
(The famed rapper is on the passenger side. With a mic in hand, the iconic beginning of ‘Move Bitch’ hits, and the fans all stand up, rapping along with him.)
Crowd: MOVE, BITCH! GET OUT THE WAY! GET OUT THE WAY! GET OUT THE WAY! 🗣️🗣️
Crowd: MOVE, BITCH! GET OUT THE WAY! GET OUT THE WAY! GET OUT THE WAY! :singing:
(TLA steps out, dripped out in a white and gold attire, and is accompanied by the lovely ladies to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing next, representing Showdown! He is the EAW Hall of Famer… ‘La Pantera Sexual’, T! L! A!
Gavin Kirkland: YES! MI AMIGO! MI HOMBRE! MI PAPI CHULO! HE IS THE FAN FAVORITE, AND FOR GOOD REASON! WHICH FORMER WORLD CHAMPION YOU KNOW SNAPPED BACK IMMEDIATELY BY REACHING THE FINALS OF THIS TOURNAMENT?!!! HUH???? WHO??????
Persephone: He’s not gonna fuck you bro—
Gavin Kirkland: But he’s gonna fuck up the competition tonight! Though… uh, why does he have Luda out here? Isn’t he from Atlanta? Yet the fans are going crazy? 🤔
Stew-O: lol
Gavin Kirkland: ???
Persephone: Oh, you really don’t know, huh?
Gavin Kirkland: If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be asking the question in the first place.
Stew-O: Alright then, Gavin—let’s get your mind to jog a little bit with a simple question: what does he, Tupac and Aaliyah all have in common?
Gavin Kirkland: …
Gavin Kirkland: But… he’s not dead.
Stew-O: :roman: !!!
Persephone: 💀
Gavin Kirkland: What?!
Stew-O: He isn’t actually really from Atlanta seeing as how he was born in Chicago, but let’s not dwell on that any further. TLA has been able to rebound quickly after losing the Answers World Championship. This is familiar territory for him as well as he was a part of the 2021 Finals with Xander Payne and Kassidy Heart, which, of course, was ultimately won by Heart and would go on to make incredible history. Still, TLA has his own history…
Gavin Kirkland: He sure does, Stew! A month later he won the National Elite Championship at Shock Value. 2022, he avenged his loss to Kassidy Heart and became Answers World Champion. 2023? Hardcore Champ. 2024? Well, we already know about that! Now, in 2025, TLA is gonna redeem himself and become one step closer to adding to his already established career! Viva La Pantera Sexual! :blessed:
Persephone: …You know, maybe it isn’t Drake King that fans should be tired of still being in prominent spots in this company, but if I speak……..
Gavin Kirkland: :usure:
Persephone: Point proven.
(TLA gets in the ring and poses at the center, with 60,000+ strong firmly behind him. TLA grins. He exchanges brief looks with Solomon, who does not look at all amused. Ludacris wraps up his performance, and TLA heads into his own corner.)
(Then, the lights dim once more.)
(Nothing but white flashes before the focus is on the stage. An orchestra ensemble is there, playing their instruments, building up to a dramatic opener. However, on the stage as well is none other than Florence Wrench, who sings an operatic verse.)
Persephone: Oh fucking brother, bitches are turning EAW into a musical! What is this?!
(Florence’s verse crescendos, and bleeds into her and the orchestra group performing ‘Warriors in Arms’ from the Metaphor: Refantazio soundtrack. Then, part of the stage opens up, and Drake Armstrong along with his butler, Charles. Drake’s attire bears striking resemblance to Louis Guiabern. White and blue accentuated, a long glowing, dramatic coat is draped along his shoulders by Charles. Drake glances at him with a smirk before taking a long stroll towards the ring.)
Stephie Love: And finally, the representative for Dynasty! He is ‘The Future’, DRAAAAAAAAAAAAKE AAAARMSTROOOOOOOOOOONG!!!
Stew-O: Will he do it? That has been a question on everyone’s mind as Drake Armstrong reached the finals of the King of Elite tournament. He already proved his potential when he became Interwire Champion, and before that, won Brand Warfare as a rookie. He has since made the climb to the top, and while everyone may hate him, you **cannot** deny his talent as a competitor.
Gavin Kirkland: You certainly can’t. Arrogant, but he can back up that talk. Things may not have gone his way, more specifically, when he lost to Myles at Reckless Wiring for the EAW World Heavyweight Championship *and* was runner up in the Dynasty Extreme Elimination Chamber, but he’s one persistent bugger and it has paid off.
Persephone: I just need him to talk shit again in the ring so he can lose. :mjlol:
Stew-O: Well, if Drake falls prey to his own ego which continues to be his Achilles’ Heel, it can ruin him. However, this is a serious Armstrong we have seen, and he’s going to do whatever it takes to win.
(Drake gets in the ring and poses in the middle, composed and arrogant as can be. The fans boo him out of house and home. He gets in his corner. All three men take off any additional accessories and adornments.)
(The referee checks them out, and calls for the bell!)
(DING! DING! DING)
Stew-O: Here we go! Soldier Field Arena! The King of Elite finals are here with Drake Armstrong, Solomon Stane, and TLA ready to take center stage— BUT IT SEEMS LIKE SOLOMON IS TAKING THE INITIATIVE RIGHT AWAY TO END THIS SHOW AS HE’S *CHARGING AT BOTH MEN, ABOUT TO CUT THEM DOWN WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE*!!
Crowd: :damn: !!!!
Persephone: Thank fuck. Shortest EAW main event match in history. Tears in my eyes.
Gavin Kirkland: Not so fast Persephone, because both men are ready to get out of dodge! They both duck underneath those mammoth arms! Solomon whirls around, and goes to smack TLA right across the dome, but La Pantera Sexual knee-switches right behind him, arms around the waist! Solomon throws a back elbow, but the former Answers World Championship rolls backward, once again evading him with the swiftness, baby!
Persephone: :noah: Can’t we give these losers bonuses for ending their matches as quickly as possible? Oh my gawd.
Stew-O: Drake Armstrong goes for a forearm, but Stane sees this and LATCHES ONTO HIS THROAT! Armstrong’s eyes go wide! The Hardcore Champion hulks him up… BUT THE FORMER INTERWIRE CHAMPION BRINGS HIS FOREARM DOWN TO HIS ARM, GETTING FREE THAT WAY! Stane snarls, but he’s determined to take down at least one of these men, and he goes after Armstrong, this time seeking a HELLACIOUS PUMP KICK RIGHT IN THE FACE!
Persephone: The rich guy who’s totally not a scamming businessman manages to catch the foot! :notbad: Drake swings it back, causing Solomon to fall right on his face. Now he’s hitting the ropes, and I sure do hope whatever move he’s able to execute onto him will be more than enough to secure a pinfall or submission so that people can go home happy!
Gavin Kirkland: HANG ON! TLA COMES IN AND DROPS DOWN, LOOKING TO TRIP HIM!
Stew-O: Armstrong scouts this out, though, and redirects course, hitting the ropes on the right-hand side! He comes back on the rebound—only for *both* Stane and TLA to be back on their feet! Both men LIFT HIM UP INTO THE AIR, AND THIS COULD VERY WELL BE BAD FOR HIM!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh! Wow! He just rolled back and landed on his feet! He grabs Solomon and moves forward, causing him to collide with TLA! He goes tumbling to the outside as Armstrong brings himself and the Hardcore champ back with an O’Connor roll—
Stew-O: TLA ISN’T OUT, THOUGH! HE USES THE BOTTOM ROPES TO SLINGSHOT HIS WAY BACK INTO THE RING AFTER HALF OF HIS BODY HANGED OVER THE APRON! CAT-LIKE AGILITY AT PLAY, AND TLA TWISTS, LOOKING TO GET SOLOMON WITH A LARIAT—
Persephone: He ducks his head, and he reverses it right into a German suplex!
Gavin Kirkland: Noooo, mi hermano is down! And right there watching is Drake Armstrong, who looks to capitalize by going for the schoolboy pin!
(….)
Stew-O: … Solomon doesn’t budge.
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) :lupe:
Solomon Stane: (off-mic) :francis:
Persephone: Lmfao.
Gavin Kirkland: Welp, it was nice knowing him! Solomon reaches down and YANKS Drake back up to his feet before getting him up into the air with BOTH hands! He has him dead to rights!
Stew-O: Wait! TLA! TLA IS BACK UP AND HITS THE ROPES, COMING BACK IN WITH A MODIFIED SUNSET FLIP! HE’S ABLE TO GET SOLOMON’S SHOULDERS DOWN ON THE MAT!
Referee: ONE—
Persephone: Kickout. How surprising.
Stew-O: BUT NOT SURPRISING IS THE OPPORTUNISTIC DRAKE WHO *FINALLY* MANAGES TO SCOOP STANE DOWN WITH THAT PIN HE WAS TRYING TO GO FOR!
Referee: ONE—
Persephone: *Another* kickout. Eugh….
Gavin Kirkland: The Hardcore Champion isn’t staying down, though, and it’s clear that TLA *and* Drake are now looking to work together to take down this threat! Both men rush forward and hook him in, LIFTING HIM UP WITH A SUPLEX—
Persephone: Ain’t happening; they only get as far as getting his *feet* off the canvas, but he’s able to shift his weight back down, denying them that. Can’t knock the effort, I guess—
Stew-O: OH! BUT HE KNOCKED DRAKE DOWN WITH A HEADBUTT! Armstrong is on the mat, and TLA looks to catch Solomon off guard with an enziguri! He gets it! That staggers the Hardcore Champion, and the veteran uses his immediate instincts to bounce off the ropes! He goes up into the air—AND HE TWISTS, NAILING A WHIRLING ARM DRAG! WOW! SOLOMON STANE TUMBLES INTO THE CORNER! The fans cheer loudly for that impressive display, but then again, when you are TLA, that’s a regular occurrence!
Gavin Kirkland: *El mas grande de todos los tiempos* does know how to be smooth like a butter!
Persephone: … Put the damn Google Translate away.
Gavin Kirkland: :mjgrin:
Stew-O: Either way, Gavin’s sentiments are right—he is one of the greatest for a reason, and we’re seeing that on full display tonight as he gets a running start! TLA gets to the corner and leaps into Stane… BUT HE’S CAUGHT! OH, NO! SOLOMON HAS HIM UP AS HE STORMS OUT TO THE CENTER OF THE RING AND SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH A URANAGE! THAT ENDED UP BACKFIRING SPECTACULARLY FOR THE FORMER MULTI-TIME WORLD CHAMPION!
Gavin Kirkland: :damn: !! HAVE MERCY ON MY GUY, SOLOMON STANE!
Persephone: I don’t think there’s any mercy to be had when he just got flattened like a pancake, honestly. :yikes:
Stew-O: Solomon gets back to his feet, but behind him is Drake Armstrong! Drake has recovered, and he’s teeing off with forearms aimed at the lower back! Solomon grits his teeth as they each connect—but the marathon doesn’t last long! Solomon turns around and levels him with a huge kick to the gut! Armstrong’s down to one knee! Stane backs up into the ropes, using the bounce from them for an extra boost, and comes on in with a swinging back elbow!
Gavin Kirkland: But Drake manages to push him away! Solomon rebounds from the ropes, and Drake pops back up—ONLY TO GET BULLDOZED DOWN WITH A NORTHERN LARIAT!
Persephone: Yeah, his brains might be mush at this rate.
Stew-O: Solomon doesn’t end with that, either! He works scarily fast to grab Armstrong and *deadlift* him from the mat! Drake doesn’t have time to find a way to fight out of this before he’s SPIKED DOWN WITH THE RELEASE POWERBOMB! HE LANDS ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh, dear, this match is quickly shifting into Solomon’s favor and *comfortably*, at that. Ever since the middle point of last season, we have seen a major shift in him as an Elitist, and he has upped his game within the blink of an eye.
Stew-O: He certainly has. Extreme Enigma Battle Royale winner, advanced in that Blind Faith Match at Reasonable Doubt last year, was literally a *hair* away from becoming a world champion that so many people thought he was going to win by beating Chef Viz, and then that bled into an insane war with Caroline which he was ultimately able to walk away as the winner of after Wicked Games. All of that culminated in him defeating Cameron Ella Ava at Road to Redemption, and here we are, with him having the chance to be the 2025 King of Elite winner–an accomplishment he could very well claim for himself as he pulls Armstrong up one more time, placing him on his shoulders! Nothing but dangerous intent flickers in Stane’s eyes as he heads towards the corner with him in tow.
Gavin Kirkland: 275 pounds isn’t exactly easy to carry, but when you’re God’s strongest soldier, anything is possible! He’s making carrying Drake look like child’s play!
Persephone: Damn, it’s almost like… Solomon is nearly seven feet tall and pushing three hundred pounds himself… 🤔 Who would’ve thought, huh? 😳
Gavin Kirkland: :stfudamn:
Persephone: 🙄 Not my fault you guys wanna be morons, but whatever. I *will* say, though that Drake might die here. Solomon is all the way at the top now, and it doesn’t take more than two brain cells to understand what’s about to happen.
Stew-O: It certainly doesn’t, which is why the fans are up on their feet, watching on in equal parts awe and apprehension as Solomon is just about ready to dump Drake Armstrong from all the way up at the top of the rope!
Gavin Kirkland: But Drake manages to see past whatever blur there may be and realizes the predicament he’s in! He immediately gets to scraping, pepping Solomon’s temple with rapid-fire elbows, doing everything he can to hinder the big man! It seems to be working! Solomon is having to weigh in between just going for it or nipping Armstrong in the bud—AND HE DECIDES ON THE LATTER! HE JUST PUSHED HIM OFF HIS SHOULDERS, AND DRAKE GOES STOMACH-FIRST ACROSS THE TOP, WITH PART OF HIS MIDSECTION HITTING THE METAL POINT OF THE TURNBUCKLE! JESUS!
Persephone: Don’t say his name in vain, you filthy-mouthed fuck.
Gavin Kirkland: Oh, and on a Sunday too, no less. Lord, may you forgive me for my crass words involving you, for I have sinned. 🙏
Stew-O: :wtf: !!!
Persephone: Anyway, yeah, this is getting bad. Like, Drake is sorry. As long as he doesn’t blow any chunks from that, I think we’re good—
Gavin Kirkland: BUT NOT SOLOMON AS TLA JUST SPRUNG TO THE TOP WITH THE DOUBLE JUMP SPRINGBOARD AND SENDS HIM FLYING THROUGH THE AIR WITH THE HURRICANRANA! HOLY COW! WHERE DID THAT COME FROM!?
Stew-O: I have no idea, but what a major way for him to get back into this bout! TLA gets back up, as does Solomon, but he’s leveled with a dropkick! He scrambles back to his feet, but once again, TLA floors him! Solomon shoots up one last time and charges forward, but TLA grabs his arm and twists through—THRUST KICK TO THE FACE! SOLOMON HOLDS HIS NOSE! TLA SHOOTS LOW AND TWISTS WITH A ROLL FORWARD, TRIPPING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! HE GETS UP AND SPRINGS FORWARD WITH A HANDSPRING, PLACING HIS HANDS ON HIS BACK TO DO SO, AND LANDS ON HIS FEET! LOW ANGLE SUPERKICK TO THE FACE!
Gavin Kirkland: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, THAT’S MY DEMON! HE’S ROLLING! LET’S GO, TLA, LET’S GO!
Persephone: Can’t lie, that *was* a smooth-ass sequence of moves. Looks like he’s keeping the heat applied too, because he gets back up and hits the ropes—
Stew-O: Oh, but he’s stopped by Trixie Stane, who *just* reached out and grabbed his foot! We knew it was only going to be a matter of time before she got herself involved on behalf of Solomon!
Gavin Kirkland: Ah, man, and with this being a triple threat as per tradition with King of Elite finals, it’s really anything goes. The fans are booing, but there’s nothing the official can do about it. Both Drake and TLA should’ve expected this to be a handicap match in some parts. :wow:
Stew-O: TLA manages to pull his foot away! He shoots a quick glare towards Trixie, who simply smirks. At least he brings his attention back to Solomon—
Persephone: FUCK! ROARING ELBOW TO THE FACE, AND TLA GOES DOWN, BACK LEANING AGAINST THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: No, no, no, no! Solomon charges forward and SLAMS HIS FOOT INTO HIS FACE AS WELL WITH BRUTAL FACE WASH! TLA HANGS HALFWAY OUT AFTER THAT, AND TRIXIE GRINS, SATISFIED THAT HER ASSISTANCE HAS LED TO THIS!
Stew-O: Solomon grabs TLA by the ankle, dragging him back out to the middle of the ring. He forces him up, and he goes for the kill! Bicycle knee strike! TLA staggers! Solomon paces backwards towards the ropes and comes in, NAILING A REBOUND LARIAT! TLA crumbles, but even *then* that ISN’T ENOUGH! Stane hoists him up and has him in a vertical base… BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN WITH THE BRAINBUSTER! MY GOODNESS!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh, it has never been more jover…
Persephone: 🤩
Stew-O: Solomon has him laid out, and he goes for the pinfall, hooking the leg for extra security! Could he win right here?
Referee: OOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—
Gavin Kirkland: NO, BECAUSE DRAKE ARMSTRONG JUST TOOK OFF AND NAILED A DIVING ELBOW DROP TO SOLOMON STANE TO BREAK IT UP!
Persephone: 😒
Stew-O: WHAT A MOVE THERE BY DRAKE! SOLOMON ROLLS OFF OF TLA, AND DRAKE MOUNTS HIM, HAMMERING HIM WITH STIFF, MEASURE PUNCHES TO THE FOREHEAD! SOLOMON RAISES HIS FOREARMS TO DEFEND HIMSELF! HE EVEN THROWS IN A SLAP, BUT THAT GETS DRAKE TO RISE AND STOMP DOWN ON HIS HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: Yeesh! Drake is getting a mean streak going, isn’t he? He clutches his ribs for a brief moment, still feeling the effects of getting dumped on that turnbuckle, but he isn’t wasting any motion! He gets Solomon to a kneeling position and strikes with three forearms! He takes a step back and nails a big boot, too! Solomon is starting to look a little hurt in his own right now! Drake snarls and goes to the corner, hopping off of the bottom rope for added momentum before rushing into Solomon with a knee!
Persephone: Yet he doesn’t hit it since Solomon caught it! He’s gonna fuck him up!
Stew-O: That could be! Solomon takes a wild swing—but Drake ducks his head! He STEPS on Solomon’s foot with his free one, and that gets Stane to release him. Solomon hunches over, but that paves the way for Drake to charge in with that knee finally! Solomon drops to his rear! Drake latches onto his head and brings him up—HALF HATCH OVERHEAD SUPLEX! Armstrong was able to muscle him up for that one, even if he’s clutching that midsection as he sits up.
Gavin Kirkland: Looks like even though Armstrong is, well, strong in his own right, he’s gonna have to forgo most displays of powers because that toss really did a number on him.
Persephone: Guess he either read your mind, was thinking the same thing, or heard your big ass mouth because he gets close to Solomon and gets a front headlock applied. Wrestling!
Stew-O: And this is good as Armstrong has his arm pressed against his throat, severing most of that air supply to try and tire Solomon out! Still, the Hardcore Champion isn’t looking to remain idle for long, and even if it’s a struggle, he’s working his way up to his left knee.
Gavin Kirkland: Armstrong switches stances and holds, transitioning behind to lock in a sleeper hold! And look–he hops onto his back, looking to keep this in tight! The goal has shifted now, and Drake is just doing everything he can to make Solomon tap! But can he!?
Persephone: The Voltage commentator in me would say that it’d be a mighty big shame if one of our own were to quit right here and therefore not bring the King of Elite crown back home to our glorious show on Sunday nights, but speaking as myself? Meh. The sooner, the better.
Stew-O: Solomon is starting to fade a little! And he knows this! Trixie calls out to him, and that spurs him to use his remaining strength, wavering as it may be, to get on to that other knee! Pressing his palms down to the mat, he *forces* himself to stand… and he just might do it…!!—
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY! TLA CAME BARRELING IN WITH THE SHOTGUN DROPKICK, SENDING BOTH MEN INTO THE CORNER—AND DRAKE MAY HAVE GOTTEN THE WORSE OF THAT AS HE LET OUT A YELL!
Stew-O: TLA RECOVERED FROM THAT BRAINBUSTER AND MADE SURE THAT NEITHER DRAKE OR SOLOMON FORGOT THAT HE WAS IN THIS! ARMSTRONG SLINKS TO A SEATED POSITION WHILE SOLOMON CRAWLS, LOOKING TO GAIN SOME DISTANCE! HOWEVER, TLA COMES IN AND LANDS THE METEORA INTO THE CORNER! DRAKE’S HEAD WHIPS BACKWARDS!
Gavin Kirkland: Solomon is on the other side—but TLA APPEARS WITH A METEORA TO HIM AS WELL! HE’S GOT A DOUBLE SERVING FOR BOTH MEN TO DIGEST!
Stew-O: TLA shakes his head, trying to shake off any lingering feelings of pain there may be from when Solomon spiked his head into the canvas and hit the ropes! SLIDING DROPKICK TO SOLOMON! He’s down, and now, Showdown’s representative in this final turns his attention to our own! TLA heads over to Armstrong—
Gavin Kirkland: Oh, and Drake suckered him in, causing him to trip into a drop-toe hold! TLA’s face hits the padding! Armstrong gets up, holding onto his nose, but sees there’s no blood and gets back into the game! Single-leg dropkick to the back of the head—
Persephone: Misses! He crashes hard down to the mat, but TLA is right there, grabbing his ankles and rolling him backward… wait, what the *fuck*!? He lifts him up into a wheelbarrow position! He walks to the middle of the ring… LUNGBLOWER!
Gavin Kirkland: And he’s not done, either! He rolls him slightly forward so that Drake can fall on his back onto the mat and pops up! DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! WE HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE BACK!
Stew-O: A brutal sequence, but effective as possible! TLA drops into the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—
Stew-O: But Solomon dives in to break up the pin—and not only that, but he **SLAMMED** his forearm into the back of TLA’s head in order to do so! That was a two-for-one special right there!
Persephone: Yes! CTE! I love it! :blessed:
Gavin Kirkland: You are a sick, *sick* woman, Persephone…
Persephone: :mjlit:
Stew-O: Solomon was deliberate with that breakup. He drags TLA away and mounts him, bludgeoning him with punches. He grabs him by the hair and slams the back of his head into the mat! No defense whatsoever! Solomon grabs TLA and sets him up, going for a roundhouse—
Gavin Kirkland: But TLA kicks him in the knee a second quicker, halting the big man from landing that! Uppercut! Forearm! Backhand chop! TLA is pushing past the pain to cut down Solomon any way he can, and he follows that combo up with a wheel kick! Stane is on the mat!
Persephone: He shouldn’t get too comfortable, though, since Armstrong has had time to get back up. He yanks him on the shoulder and whirls him around, CLOBBERING him in the face with a punch to the jaw! Oh, shit!
Stew-O: And he follows that up with a kick to the gut! Drake drops down, and nails that rising uppercut from the ground! TLA stumbles away, but Armstrong is back on his feet and in hot pursuit of him! He grabs him with the hammerlock and sends him up and over, crashing him into the ring! What a throw! TLA rolls onto his side, clutching that right arm, but in comes Armstrong, who *steps* on the bicep and *digs* the heel of his boot into the muscle!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh gosh, this is getting nasty!
Persephone: :gladbron: !!
Stew-O: Drake continues to do so! TLA fires a punch of his own towards his calf, but that barely does anything! Armstrong stops and releases the arm… BEFORE COMING BACK DOWN ON IT WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! TLA ROLLS AROUND THE RING, CLUTCHING THAT HURT LIMB!
Gavin Kirkland: And I fear that now Drake found an area to target, he isn’t going to ease up. :lupe: He grabs TLA and rolls forward, locking in a bicep slicer! My goodness! And he has it torqued at an angle where it’s making things as uncomfortable as possible for the legendary Hall of Famer to withstand!
Persephone: Good. The sooner he taps out, the better.
Stew-O: But TLA’s refusing to give up, as the official just questioned him, and he shook his head! TLA is now trying to get a move on, as he won’t be given the rope break due to the rules of this match! He manages to force himself up onto one knee, and… it seems like he’s gonna force Armstrong’s shoulders onto the mat!
Gavin Kirkland: Yes! He does! Haha!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOO—
Persephone: Dumbass goes into business for himself and kicks out. I hate it here.
Stew-O: AND NOW TLA POPS UP, LOOKING TO STRIKE WITH AN ELBOW! IT MISSES DRAKE’S HEAD! ARMSTRONG DUCKED AND HE LEAPS UP—JUMPING NECKBREAKER!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh no, and he isn’t even done!!
Persephone: He keeps a hold of his head, rolls over, and flips up and over, applying a bridging arm triangle choke. Well, *that’s* new for him. :patrice:
Stew-O: It is, Persephone! Given that it’s Drake, though, one has to wonder if it’s meant to be less of a genuine display of athleticism on his part and more so as a way to showboat and flex his superiority, but either way, Armstrong is bringing out a new technique to his repertoire for the biggest match of his career.
Gavin Kirkland: I believe that’s what the kids refer to as “adding to the bag.” :drakelike:
Stew-O: Now TLA is further up that troubling creek, having to find a way to get out of this—
Persephone: Oh, shit! Where the hell did he come from!?
Gavin Kirkland: I DON’T KNOW, BUT IT WAS ONE HELL OF A REINTRODUCTION AS HE DROPS ON TOP OF *BOTH* MEN WITH THE BACK SENTON! DRAKE LETS GO OF THE SUBMISSION, ROLLING ONTO HIS SIDE! TLA IS FAVORING HIS BACK! SOLOMON GRABS TLA AND **TOSSES HIM INTO THE CORNER WITH A BIEL THROW!!!**
Stew-O: OH MY GOD! TLA GETS ABSOLUTELY FLIPPED BY THAT! AND NOW, SOLOMON YANKS UP ARMSTRONG AND **THROWS HIM INTO TLA IN THE CORNER WITH THE POWERBOMB!!!**
Persephone: Yup. They’re cooked.
Stew-O: Both Armstrong and TLA got absolutely decimated there, and Trixie looks pleased! Solomon decides to target the latter, and he forces him up! He can barely stand! But Stane doesn’t care—he starts to batter him in with nothing but headbutts, cracking him on the forehead over and over again!
Gavin Kirkland: No! TLA is helpless to all of this!
Stew-O: And TLA can’t do anything! He’s weak as can be! He almost goes completely *slump* in his hands! Solomon unleashes one more headbutt before he grabs him by the throat and hoists him up—RIGHT INTO ‘TRIUMPH OF TRUTH’!
Persephone: One-handed sit-out chokeslam does him in! Too bad he didn’t crack his damn neck on the landing!
Gavin Kirkland: And the Hardcore Champion goes for the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: NO! ARMSTRONG DIVED IN, BREAKING IT UP!
Gavin Kirkland: … Why is Solomon talking to himself? :lupe:
Persephone: Because the nut job is talking to God or whatever. I dunno. He’s just a weirdo.
Stew-O: Well, this ‘weirdo’ has spent the bulk of the match cutting off both finalists any way he can, and he gets up, staring daggers right into Drake! Armstrong tries to get up, still feeling the intense effects of that throw, but he has NO TIME TO REACT AS SOLOMON CHARGES WITH A BIG BOOT! HE GETS HIM UP AND TOSSES HIM INTO THE CORNER! CLOTHESLINE!
Gavin Kirkland: I guess God must have told him to get the pace going! Drake doesn’t even get the chance to stumble out of the corner as Stane connects with an enzugiri! NOW Armstrong staggers forward, but Solomon is there, and he hooks him! UP AND OVER HE GOES WITH THE BELLY TO BELLY!
Stew-O: Nothing but explosiveness on display here! Solomon gets in the corner, looking like he’s waiting for Drake to foolishly get back up!
Persephone: … which he does. :mjlol:
Stew-O: AND THAT’S THE GREEN LIGHT HE NEEDED! SOLOMON RUSHES FORWARD—
Gavin Kirkland: RIGHT INTO A FLOAT-OVER DDT FROM DRAKE! HOW DID HE GET THAT SCOUTED!??
Stew-O: I HAVE NO IDEA, BUT DRAKE ARMSTRONG BETTER COUNT HIS LUCKY STARS HE WAS ABLE TO HAVE ENOUGH AWARENESS TO SEE SOLOMON COMING AT HIM LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN! ALL THREE ELITISTS ARE LAYING ON THE MAT, AND WE AREN’T GETTING ANY CLOSER TO SEEING WHO’S GOING TO WIN HERE TONIGHT IN THE MAIN EVENT OF KING OF ELITE!
Persephone: Don’t say that. :noah:
Gavin Kirkland: Well… at least Drake is getting a move. He rolls out to the apron, maybe looking to get even more breathing room?
Persephone: Could be. TLA is finally starting to stir, too. He’s probably feeling like shit, however.
Stew-O: He’s taken the most punishment so far in this contest, that’s for certain. Trixie heads over to Solomon and leans in, looking to spur him on with words of encouragement. That seems to bring back a little bit of life in him.
Gavin Kirkland: Oh boy, and Solomon is getting up to his knees. TLA is using the ropes to pull himself up. Both men manage to come to a stand, but Solomon is ready, storming towards the former Answers World champ. Body blow!
Stew-O: TLA is hit! Solomon attacks with an overhead slap across the face, and then a kick to the leg! He’s about to top it all off with a spin kick–
Gavin Kirkland: But TLA moved back, narrowly avoiding it! Solomon goes for a side kick to the head, but that’s missed as well! TLA pops up with a JUMPING KNEE! JESUS CHRIST! MAY HAVE GOTTEN HIM RIGHT ON THE NOSE WITH THAT ONE!
Persephone: Ooh, ooh! Is there blood??
Stew-O: No blood, but TLA is ready to do even more damage with a back spin kick to that SAME SPOT! SOLOMON GETS ROCKED! HE HUNCHES FORWARD!
Gavin Kirkland: AND TLA SEES HIS CHANCE! HE TURNS TOWARDS THE ROPES AND RUNS TO THEM, AND COMES BACK, HOPPING ONTO SOLOMON’S BACK—
(***CRAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!***)
Persephone: —BUT A FUCKING STEEL CHAIR GOT THROWN IN HIS FACE FROM THAT STUPID SKANK TRIXIE STANE!!
Gavin Kirkland: :damn: !!!
Stew-O: TLA IS OFF OF SOLOMON, CLUTCHING HIS FACE—BUT HE GETS LIFTED UP ONTO THE SHOULDERS OF SOLOMON! SOLOMON TAKES HIM ALONG AND TOWARDS THE ROPES… OH NO…!!!
Gavin Kirkland: HE’S GONNA DUMP HIM OUT TO RINGSIDE!!!
Stew-O: NO! TLA HOLDS ONTO THE ROPES! TLA IS STOPPING HIM FROM DOING THAT! SOLOMON FIGHTS AND STRUGGLES WITH HIM, BUT TLA ISN’T BUDGING! TLA KEEPS A FIRM HOLD OF THE TOP ROPE AND FLIPS OUT ONTO THE APRON, SAVING HIMSELF—
Gavin Kirkland: —ONLY FOR SOLOMON TO CRACK HIM IN THE FACE WITH A FOREARM, AND HE GOES DOWN!
Stew-O: TLA is out on the floor! Solomon follows after him in hot pursuit! Stane batters him with more forearms before grabbing him by the head and TOSSING HIM INTO OUR TABLE! TLA’S RIBS WERE DRIVEN HARD AGAINST THE EDGE!
Persephone: And he’s bleeding from the nose too, to boot!
Stew-O: TLA is grabbed, with Solomon looking to do more damage, and— WHAT!??
Gavin Kirkland: ?!!!
Persephone: Okay, what the fuck!?
Stew-O: **DRAKE ARMSTRONG JUST TOOK DOWN BOTH TLA AND SOLOMON STANE WITH A CORKSCREW MOONSAULT FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!!**
(**REPLAY:** While Solomon and TLA were tussling on the outside, Drake Armstrong, who earlier went out onto the apron, spotted them.)
Drake Armstrong: …
Drake Armstrong: … 💡!!
Drake Armstrong: :mjlit:
(Drake decides to scale to the top of the turnbuckle, deciding to up the ante. It pays off, with him taking out both Solomon Stane and TLA. The fans in the Soldier Field Arena are shocked—and probably for the *only* time in his career, will ever be given any kind of applause from the fans as the match returns to the full, live screen where he stands tall.)
Stew-O: I… wow! Moments like these often bring out different sides of Elitists we have *never* seen before, but Drake Armstrong… never would I have guessed in a million years HE would pull off a move like that! That was incredible!
Gavin Kirkland: Guess he’s been right about preparing for this match! He just went crazy!
Persephone: Almost broke his ankle on the landing, though. 🤣🫵
Stew-O: Drake stands tall nonetheless, and he takes hold of Solomon! HE LIFTS HIM UP, AND I GUESS THAT WAS ENOUGH TO WEAKEN THE DELIVERER!
Persephone: … Ah man, why are they coming over here??
Gavin Kirkland: BECAUSE DRAKE IS GOING TO STUN THE WORLD ONE MORE TIME—
(***CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASHHHHH!!!***)
Stew-O: **ALABAMA SLAM ONTO THE ANNOUNCE TABLE, BREAKING IT COMPLETELY!**
Persephone: …
Persephone: Okay, I can’t even hate. That was kinda sick.
Gavin Kirkland: THE BIG MAN IS DOWN! I REPEAT: THE BIG MAN IS *DOWN*! DRAKE LEVELLED HIM, AND SOLOMON MAY BE A NONFACTOR FOR THE REST OF THIS MATCH! MEANWHILE, DRAKE EYES TLA, AND HE KNOWS WHAT HE HAS TO DO! HE GRABS AND HAS HIM ON THE SHOULDER
Stew-O: No games! No showboating! Drake takes TLA AND—
(***CRAAAAASH!!!***)
Stew-O: —**HE DELIVERS ‘BY THE BOOTSTRAPS’ ONTO THE STEEL STEPS, CRACKING TLA’S SHIN WITH THE JUMPING SHINBREAKER!!
Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOOOOOO!!!
Persephone: YEEEEEEEESS!!! BROKEN LEGS!!! :blessed: !!!
Stew-O: DRAKE GRABS TLA AND TOSSES HIM INTO THE RING! HE SLIDES BACK IN, AND LOCKS HIM IN WITH THE ‘WILL KILLER’!! ‘WILL KILLER’ IS APPLIED IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: And not only that, but he’s leaning all the way back with it, having one knee on the back of TLA’s neck! Shit! Don’t tap, TLA, don’t tap!
Persephone: I don’t know, I think there comes a point where you just have to let go of your pride and do what’s best for you and the longevity of your career. Get what I mean?
Gavin Kirkland: Shut up!
Persephone: :mjgrin:
Stew-O: This is bad! Real bad! TLA has accumulated the most damage out of everyone else here in the King of Elite finals, and Drake is going all the way to ensure he can break him down!
(TLA claws at the mat, his face twisted in pain, his body convulsing from the sheer torque of Drake Armstrong’s submission! Drake grits his teeth, pressing his knee deeper into TLA’s neck while wrenching the leg back at a brutal angle!)
Stew-O: TLA MAY BE SECONDS AWAY FROM SUBMITTING! HE’S GOT NOWHERE TO GO! **HE HAS THE HAND UP—AND HE SLAMS IT DOWN ON THE MAT!**
(…)
(…)
(…)
Gavin Kirkland: …NO, NO—WAIT! LOOK AT HIM! HE’S TRYING TO… HE’S TRYING TO PUSH UP!
(The crowd erupts as TLA pounds a fist against the mat—not in surrender, but in defiance! He plants his one good arm into the canvas, trying to lift his upper body despite the pain wracking every fiber of his being!)
Persephone: Oh, come *on*.
Stew-O: THIS IS UNREAL! TLA IS FIGHTING THROUGH EVERYTHING—THE TORN-UP RIBS, THE DAMAGED LEG, THE BICEP STRAIN—AND HE’S TRYING TO POWER OUT OF THE ‘WILL KILLER’!!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S RIGHT, PAPI! THAT LATIN HEAT NEVER DIES!!
Stew-O: .
Persephone: :dafuq:
Gavin Kirkland: Oh, sorry. Brand pride got to me. Teehee.
Persephone: 🤦
(Drake’s eyes widen in disbelief as he feels TLA pushing against his grip. He shakes his head, shouting down at him!)
Drake Armstrong: (off mic) STAY DOWN! JUST GIVE UP, YOU STUPID IDIOT!
(TLA shakes his head, a hurt but unwavering smirk stretching across his face.)
TLA: (off mic) Nah… ***fuck that.***
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) You insolent, little—
Stew-O: TLA TWISTS HIS BODY AND LAUNCHES DRAKE OFF WITH A KICK FROM HIS GOOD LEG!!! HE BREAKS FREE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: HE DID IT! HE DID IT!
(Drake is sent tumbling forward, but he’s quick to recover, scrambling to his feet—)
Stew-O: AND TLA COUNTERS WHATEVER IT WAS DRAKE WAS GONNA DO WITH A SPINNING BACK FIST! DRAKE STAGGERS—AND TLA FOLLOWS UP WITH A HUGE KNEE, EVEN WITH THE BAD LEG!!!
Gavin Kirkland: AND HE’S *STILL* GOING! DRAKE IS DAZED! TLA HOBBLES BACK, GRITTING HIS TEETH, THEN CHARGES FORWARD—
Stew-O: —AND BLASTS DRAKE WITH A DISCUS LARIAT, TURNING HIM INSIDE OUT!!!
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GODDDDDD!!!
Persephone: 😳 He nearly took his head off with that!
Stew-O: HE CERTAINLY DID! DRAKE GOT TOO COCKY, AND TLA MADE HIM PAY FOR IT! DRAKE TRIES TO GET UP AS HE’S ON HIS KNEES—BUT TLA **CLOCKS HIM WITH A CORKSCREW ROUNDHOUSE KICK!** HE GOES DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: KJNEJCKNCKJNRKVNWKRNKVNJWRNVWJVTKtebETBKNETJKNBJKNTNBNKTJNGNKJNKJ!!!!
Stew-O: AND TLA FIGHTS THROUGH THE PAIN ONE LAST TIME! HE GETS DRAKE UP AND HAS HIM DEAD TO RIGHTS! HE FLIPS OVER—**INTO THE ‘MEXICAN DESTROYER’!!!**

Stew-O: **TRIXIE STANE PULLED TLA OFF OF DRAKE ARMSTRONG!**
Crowd: .
Gavin Kirkland: … uh-oh.
Crowd: ..
Stew-O: :francis:
Crowd: …
Crowd: ## **BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!**
Persephone: IJBOL.
(TLA is partially hanging from the apron, eyes wide in shock. However, a small, snake-like smirk is on Trixie’s face.)
Gavin Kirkland: TRIXIE, YOU SHE-DEVIL! WHY CAN’T YOU JUST LET MY BOY COOK?!
(Trixie folds her arms. TLA looks over at her. Sitting up fully on the apron, he shakes his head.)
TLA: (off-mic) Que mi mamá me perdone por lo que tengo que hacer. :wow:
Stew-O: And TLA hops off the apron! He heads over to Trixie who isn’t intimidated in the slightest! She swings, going for a punch!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT HE CAUGHT THE FIST!
Persephone: Oh, shit! He kicks her in the gut and forces her up on the apron!
Stew-O: Stew-O: WAIT—WAIT—DON’T TELL ME—
Gavin Kirkland: YES! YES! YES! GET HER!!
(Trixie tries to fight back, but one more kick to the gut does her in. He hooks her head in between his legs, and the fans go ballistic, knowing what’s going to happen next…)
Stew-O: ## **’MEXICAN DESTROYER’ ON THE RING APRON!!!!!!!**
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
(Trixie’s head SPIKES off the hardest part of the ring before she crumples to the floor, completely motionless!)
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! TLA JUST KILLED HER!!!
Persephone: WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
Stew-O: TRIXIE STANE MAY BE OUT COLD! HER BODY JUST FOLDED LIKE A DAMN ACCORDION!!!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE DESERVED IT! THAT’S WHAT YOU GET FOR MESSING WITH A REAL ONE, TRIXIE! YOU SHOULD HAVE STOPPED ALL THE SCHEMING WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE!!!
(Trixie was dealt with. She remains on the floor.)
TLA: :lick:
(…But on the other side, Solomon Stane, down within the rubble of the announcer’s table saw everything unfold.)
Solomon Stane: …
(He pushes himself up, hurt in his own right, but fury colors his glare…)
(TLA goes back into the ring, but right at the same time—)
Stew-O: WAIT—WAIT—OH NO!!!
Gavin Kirkland: DAMN IT! SOLOMON STANE JUST CLOBBERED HIM WITH THE DISCUS BIG BOOT! ‘SO IT SHALL BE’!!
Persephone: :yikes:
Stew-O: AND NOW, HE’S SLAMMING HIS FOREARM DOWN ONTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!! HE’S BATTERING HIM IN! SOLOMON IS IN A FRENZY! TLA TRIES TO COVER UP, BUT HE’S GETTING HURT MORE AND MORE BY THE SECOND! AND SOLOMON RIPS HIM FROM THE CANVAS!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! HE HAS HIM UP! HE’S ON HIS SHOULDERS IN THAT CANADIAN RACK POSITION AND STARTS SPINNING!
Stew-O: **‘SANITY’S SAKE!’ ‘SANITY’S SAKE!’** THE BACK OF TLA’S SKULL BOUNCES OFF THE CANVAS, WITH HIS BODY GOING LIMP! THAT IS IT!!
Gavin Kirkland: :wow:
Persephone: Welp. It was fun while it lasted.
Stew-O: And now Solomon goes to end things as he— …!!!
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY! IT’S DRAKE! DRAKE IS UP, AND HE GRABS SOLOMON! HE FLIPS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE, SENDING HIM TO THE OUTSIDE—
Persephone: OR HE *WOULD’VE*, BUT SOLOMON GETS STUCK! **HIS WRIST IS TANGLED UP IN THE ROPES! HE’S HANGING OFF OF THEM**!!
(Solomon thrashes wildly, but the ropes have twisted around his arm, trapping him in place! He’s completely entangled, unable to free himself! He kicks his legs, struggling, but the more he moves, the tighter the ropes pull against his wrist!)
Gavin Kirkland: SHIT!
(Solomon’s rage-filled eyes dart downward—straight at Trixie Stane’s unconscious body, still lying at ringside. His breath catches in his throat. He tries even harder to escape, desperately yanking at the ropes…)
(…)
(… *but it’s no use*.)
Stew-O: SOLOMON IS TRYING HIS BEST, BUT I DON’T THINK HE CAN GET OUT IN TIME! MEANWHILE, DRAKE ARMSTRONG SEES HIS CHANCE AS HE LOOKS AT THE UNCONSCIOUS TLA!
Gavin Kirkland: HE GETS HIM UP, HOOKING THE ARMS, AND UP ON HIS RIGHT SHOULDER IN THAT CANADIAN BACKBREAKER RACK! HE WALKS TO THE CENTER, AND SOLOMON’S HEAD WHIPS BACK, SEEING THIS! HE THRASHES EVEN MORE, TRYING TO UNTANGLE HIMSELF…!!
Persephone: BUT HE’S GOOD AS DONE BECAUSE DRAKE SLAMS TLA DOWN WITH THE TIGER DRIVER!
Gavin Kirkland: :damn: !!!!
Stew-O: # **‘SCORCHED EARTH’ HAS LANDED!’
Crowd: :damn: :damn: !!
Stew-O: AND DRAKE ARMSTRONG CRAWLS INTO THE COVER! THE REFEREE SLIDES DOWN AND COUNTS!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Pride and Arrogance’ hits. Drake Armstrong gets off of TLA and sits up, realizing that he won the match. A smirk creeps across his face as half of the arena is stunned in silence.)
Stephie Love: Here is YOUR winner, and the 2025 King of Elite winner…. DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE ARRRRRRRRMSTROOOOOOOOOOOOONG!!!!
Stew-O: HE DID IT! DRAKE ARMSTRONG IS THE NEW KING OF ELITE! HE WON THIS INSANELY-FOUGHT MATCH! GOING THE DISTANCE AND PICKING HIS SPOTS HELPED HIM TO SECURE THE VICTORY!
(Charles comes in with the King of Elite crown. Drake stands up and allows him to place it upon his head. His grin only grows wider and he stands in the middle. Some of the fans boo, but others applaud, if only for the appreciation of the match and the effort that was on display.)
Gavin Kirkland: :wow: That was insane to watch. But it looks that Mr. Armstrong was able to keep his promise.
Persephone: Good for him, I guess. TLA got fucked. Solomon Stane got fucked. Unlucky for them, but very much lucky for him.
(Drake continued to smile before confetti fell down from the rafters for him. Pyro goes off. He laughs, hearty as can be, and points to himself, looking straight at the hard cam.)
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) *Told you.*
(He leaves the ring with Charles, raising his arms up triumphantly. Meanwhile, TLA, Trixie and Solomon are checked out. Solomon’s wrist is freed but he is not happy. As for TLA, is a little worse for wear.)
Stew-O: What a main event! The Future is fully here, and before long, we may be living in a world that belongs to Drake Armstrong! King of Elite is officially over! Thank you all for tuning in, and we will see you all next week! Goodnight, everybody!
(The final shot shows Drake and Charles walking up the ramp, confetti covering them, before the live broadcast of King of Elite ends.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
