Narrator: War… it never changes.
(The screen comes to life as catastrophic images are splayed. Bombs are being dropped. Missles are sent. Soldiers move with a frightening pace with their guns tucked by their bodies, fingers steady on the trigger. Explosion after explosion brings about a dark and visceral image of *doomsday* to the viewers.)
Narrator: Violence never ceases. Destruction never wavers. And in Elite Answers Wrestling, all of that and more is upheld through every gruesome mean possible.
(The montage transitions faintly as various members of the Dynasty roster engage in their own inner wars with each other. Punches crack against one another’s faces. Blood spills out and splashes across the ring mat. Bodies lay broken, twisted in agony, faces contorted as the shock of pain stuns them.)
Narrator: In this arena, egos are fractured like glass underfoot. Each Elitist navigates a landscape riddled with sharp turns and bitter rivalries.
(The montage fades in on Drake Armstrong, who storms through a battlefield, backed by a heavy battalion of knights. He’s dressed in all white, mirroring Louis Guiabern from Metaphor: ReFantazio. All the way across the vast, brutal landscape is Impact, carrying a sword with him, his clothing matching Will from the same series.)
(Raven Roberts and Rex McAllister are next as the shot goes upside down and captures them sitting on top of a desolate building underneath the glow of the moon and starry night sky, dressed to mirror Makoto Yuki and Mitsuru Kanjori from Persona 3. Then, black fog encapsulates the setting. Transtioning to a red and black distorted landscape with static, Daniella Atlas and Saori Aizen are shown off, grinning deviously as their eyes have a yellow tint to them, mirroring Tohru Adachi and Yu Narukami, respectively, from Persona 4.)
Narrator: War is abound as many seek to elevate themselves…
(A four-way cut-in shows Mia Santoro, Corey Hale, Cosmo Goldworthy, and Holly Arrow, dressed in attires similar to all past four protagonists for Dragon Age. Then, it transitions to Vincent Mondrian as Sepiroth, and Brian Daniels and Cloud Strife, clashing their blades fiercely.)
(Jay Jerry Johnson, with the Interwire Championship around his waist, gazes right at Clayton Golde as they both don armors similar to that of Halo.)
Narrator: And a war of attrition where it’s all about glory…
(Drake King, Cy Henderson, Hans Grayson, Kirk Redwood, Chris Elite, and BRAE look out into the cosmos, wearing armor mirroring Commander Shepherd’s from Mass Effect.
Narrator: .. And perhaps, making history.
(Minerva is shown emerging from the waters, replicating Solid Snake’s look in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Right across from her is Joso, with the World Heavyweight Championship flanked on his shoulder, dressed as Ocelot, aiming his gun right at her.)
Narrator: War never changes…
Narrator: And neither will the desire to attain glory.
Narrator: And now, EAW along with New Balance presents: Operation: Doomsday!

EAW: (Pyrotechnics go off as ‘Reminded’ by Drowning Pool hits. It’s a sold-out affair, and the fans are excited in Boston! The camera finishes capturing the electric energy and the shot transtions to the commentary table, where Stew-O, Jake Mercer, and Flannery McCoy are all on standby.)
Stew-O: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO OPERATION: DOOMSDAY! THANK YOU FOR JOINING US! WE HAVE A PACKED SHOW HERE TONIGHT, AS THE IRON SURIVIOR RETURNS AND WILL MAIN EVENT TONIGHT’S SHOW!
Jake Mercer: I love a new tradition. :periodt: I can’t wait for that, as the winner of the third-ever Iron Survivor will get to choose when they get their world title match!
Flannery McCoy: And of course, we will have to see if the winner will face either Joso or Minerva for that title, as they collide! Can Minerva make *her*story during women’s history month and continue her streak of winning her title matches on the first go, or can Joso persist and nab a successful third defense against one of the greatest women to have ever competed here in EAW?
Stew-O: We also have Brian Daniels versus Vincent Mondrian! Corey Hale, Cosmo Goldworthy, Holly Arrow and Mia Santoro clashing with each other! Jay Jerry Johnson defends the Interwire Championship against Clayton Golde! Tag team action is also on the card as Fire & Ice take on Saori Aizen and Daniella Aizen! And finally, Drake Armstrong and Impact clash in a war to put their issues to bed! Now, let’s kick off with our opening contest!
(The matchcard for the first match of the evening is shown off! The fans cheer wildly, excited as can be upon its revelation!)

Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for… ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(The piano key to Still D.R.E. hits and nobody emerges from behind the curtain for a moment, the titantron denoting in bold text various accomplishments Karl Impact has notched over the years alongside the video of the events as the piano version continues. Piano version of Still D.R.E. cuts into the original song from its start as emerald green strobe lights affix the emerging Karl Impact, simultaneous with his pyro, as he makes his calculated saunter down the ramp with over fifteen years and ten EAW World Championships behind his every step.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Seattle, Washington, he is The Quintessential Champion, and EAW Hall of Famer…. IIIIIIIMPAAAAAAAACT!!!
Stew-O: It has been an intense month as Impact set his sights on Drake Armstrong after he became the 2025 King of Elite winner. Since then, the two have been engaged in a heated war that has only continued to escalate the closer we got to this event. Impact wants to beat Drake and bring his name back into the world title conversation after falling short in his own right last month. He promised Drake was going to get humbled, and he could very well accomplish that here tonight.
Jake Mercer: Impact is the GOAT, no question, but Drake isn’t like these other new-gen EAW stars. He’s the truth! The real deal! In fact, to call him Drake is treacherous! King Armstrong—
Flannery McCoy: Okay, settle down.
(Impact gets in the ring, standing by in the corner. His lips narrow into a thin, pressed line, eyes narrowing as he looks up at the stage. Eventually, his theme dies down, and lights of the arena shift to an orangish-golden tint as ‘Pride and Arrogance’ begins blaring through the speakers. One of the Minitron screens elevates to reveal Drake Armstrong being driven onto the stage in his Rolls-Royce of the week! As the chauffeur drives onto the ramp, the upper half of the Future’s body can be seen popping out from the open roof of the car. From his elevated position, Drake Armstrong poses with his arms outstretched for EAW’s cameramen whilst being bombarded with boos by the front-row fans that line the ramp.)
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT! From Scarsdale, New York, he is the 2025 King of Elite… ‘The Future’, DRAAAAAAAAAAAAKE ARRRRRMSTROOOOOONG!
Stew-O: Impact may be pissed, but so is Drake! The King of Elite has had his own grievances against the legendary Elitist and wants to make him pay in his own right. Both men have been at each other’s throats, including that explosive opener this past Dynasty where Impact was able to put an end to that funeral service for him. Now, it’s a matter of seeing who gets to walk out on top.
Flannery McCoy: I’ve got a feeling this is going to be a massive slobberknocker of a match. :lupe: You can just *feel* the hate both Elitists have for one another.
(The Rolls-Royce comes to a stop upon making contact with the ring, prompting the Future to step out from the open roof and onto the hood of the car. From the hood, Drake easily walks right onto the apron before climbing onto the corner closest to the hard cam. He flaunts his physique atop the top turnbuckle with a self-aggrandizing pose before hopping down into the ring. Finally in the ring, the Future dismissively waves off his chauffeur, who completes his thankless job and drives the Rolls-Royce back up the ramp. As his theme song fades out, Drake Armstrong leans against his corner with, but instead of his usual smirk, he stares daggers into Impact.)
(The referee checks with both men to make sure they’re ready. Once they both give their confirmation, they call for the bell!)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The bell rings—AND DRAKE AND IMPACT CHARGE INTO ONE ANOTHER, PEPPERING WITH PUNCHES AND FOREARMS! WHAT A FURIOUS START TO THIS MATCH!
Jake Mercer: :damn: !!
Flannery McCoy: We knew there was a ton of bad blood brewing between them after King of Elite, but holy *smokes*, this is even more intense than we could have possibly ever envisioned! Impact and Drake go all around the ring, and you can see nothing but a dizzying flurry of fists flying all over the place! The referee is doing their best to step in and get both Elitists to separate, but I don’t think that is going to happen! The Boston crowd doesn’t seem to mind, though. They’re cheering this on!
Jake Mercer: Well, of course they would cheer! Boston folks are the bottom of the barrel! They like rowdy crap like this, but at least they’re getting their money’s worth already to kick off Operation: Doomsday.
Stew-O: Oh! It seems like Drake is the one who’s starting to get the better of Impact! He has him backed into the corner, where he continues to bludgeon him with stiff forearm after stiff forearm. The referee managers to *finally* get in between them, no doubt feeling and experiencing the tense fire amongst them, but working to ensure they can keep things as clean as possible—
(***CHOP!!!***)
Jake Mercer: Damn! Backhand chop from Impact to Drake—AND HANG ON! HE JUST FLEW OVER THE REFEREE TO TACKLE HIM TO THE GROUND! THE KING OF ELITE IS DOWN! IMPACT MOUNTS HIM AND WAILS AWAY, BRINGING KNUCKLE TO FOREHEAD WITHOUT A SINGLE DAMN IN THE WORLD!
Flannery McCoy: But Drake isn’t going to let him get any free offense off of him! He shoves him away, and both men race up to their feet! They charge ahead… STEREO FOREARMS!
Stew-O: :lupe: !!! No one got the better of the other from that exchange, but that doesn’t deter either of them! Drake readies himself, as does Impact! They charged forward once again—only to wind up hitting each other AT THE SAME TIME! This time, they stagger backwards, and you can finally see how this war of shots is beginning to take a toll on both of them. Drake shakes his head, and he snarls, narrowing his eyes with nothing but pure hatred towards the Hall of Famer!
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) You old, insolent fool! You will PAY FOR EVERYTHING!
Jake Mercer: Drake runs forward one more time—
Flannery McCoy: ENZUIGIRI! ENZUIGIRI CONNECTS! HE RAN IN LIKE A MAD BULL AND DIDN’T ACCOUNT FOR THAT ONE AT *ALL*! DRAKE’S STUNNED, AND HE GOES SPILLING OUT ONTO THE OUTSIDE FLOORING, CLUTCHING THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD! WHAT A MOVE FROM IMPACT!
Stew-O: Drake’s pent-up frustration served to be his enemy that time. He’s getting a move on, though; while that kick caught him off guard, it didn’t necessarily damage him. He rises to one knee and is able to get back on both feet!
Jake Mercer: But wait! Impact! He sees Drake is up and doesn’t waste time! He runs to the ropes and springs off of them…!
Flannery McCoy: SUICIDE DIVE! THE KING OF ELITE GOES BARRELING! WHAT A HIGH-RISK MOVE FROM IMPACT! HE LAUNCHED HIMSELF LIKE A HUMAN MISSILE, AND DRAKE HAD NOWHERE TO GO BUT CRASHING SPINE-FIRST INTO THAT UNFORGIVING BARRICADE!
Jake Mercer: The barricade shook with that impact! I think some fans just got a front-row seat to Drake Armstrong’s spine being REARRANGED!
Flannery McCoy: And look at Impact! He’s already back up, feeding off this adrenaline! The Boston crowd is eating this up, and Impact is not about to slow down! He grabs Drake by the head, dragging him up to his feet—AND HE SLAMS HIS FACE RIGHT INTO THE TOP OF THE BARRICADE!
Stew-O: Drake stumbles back, clearly rattled, but Impact stays on him, clubbing him over the back with heavy shots! He grabs Drake’s arm and WHIPS HIM BACK INTO THE STRUCTURE! Drake grimaces as nothing but pain reverberates through him!
Jake Mercer: Oh, man. The knights really should’ve checked to make sure the body in that casket wasn’t alive.
Flannery McCoy: Well, with that whole farce of a funeral, it was pretty clear that Drake and his cohorts weren’t anticipating Impact to actually *be* in the casket.
Jake Mercer: Still, should’ve been extra careful and checked to be safe rather than sorry. Can’t get caught lacking in this day and age. 🙏
Flannery McCoy: ????
Stew-O: Drake may have been caught by surprise, for sure, as Impact holds him by the head yet again. He brings him over and SLAMS his face down once more, only this time, it crashes against the hard edge of the apron! Armstrong wobbles!
Jake Mercer: And that paves the way for Impact to hop up on the apron… HOLY SMOKES! SHOTGUN DROPKICK! DRAKE IS HIT IN THE CHEST, AND HE ROLLS BACKWARDS BEFORE TUMBLING INTO THE STEEL STEPS RIGHT BEHIND HIM!! GOOD LORD! THAT SENT HIM FLYING LIKE A RAGDOLL!!
Stew-O: And look at Impact! He’s not giving Drake a single moment to breathe! He gets back up, slightly favoring his own back, but he is in a *far* better position right now than his opponent. He stalks toward him, grabbing him by the wrist and YANKING him up forcefully! Drake is dazed, but Impact isn’t done! He hooks the arm… AND SENDS HIM FLYING WITH A SNAP SUPLEX ONTO THE THINLY-PADDED FLOOR!
Jake Mercer: That’s straight-up concrete underneath there, and Drake’s lower back just took all of that impact! The King of Elite is looking absolutely *wrecked* right now!
Flannery McCoy: The referee is shouting at them to bring this back into the ring, but Impact doesn’t seem to be listening just yet! He looms over Drake, wiping his mouth before dragging him up once again. He’s setting something up here!
Stew-O: He hooks the arms—HE’S LOOKING FOR A DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT ON THE OUTSIDE—
Jake Mercer: NO! DRAKE TWISTS HIS BODY AND SHOVES HIM AWAY—AND IMPACT GOES RIBS-FIRST INTO THE EDGE OF OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE!
Flannery McCoy: That’s one way to create some space! Impact winces, clutching his midsection, and here comes Drake—
Stew-O: RUNNING KNEE TO THE GUT! IMPACT DOUBLES OVER—AND DRAKE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWS UP WITH A CLUBBING ELBOW TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!
Jake Mercer: Just like that, the momentum has shifted! Drake is breathing heavily, still feeling the effects of that relentless onslaught from Impact, but now he’s got control of this fight, and he’s about to make sure Impact regrets ever resurrecting himself from that casket!
Flannery McCoy: Armstrong grabs Impact by the back of the head, and—OH, NO—HE SLAMS HIM FACE-FIRST INTO THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!
Stew-O: AND HE DOES IT AGAIN! AND AGAIN! IMPACT’S FACE JUST GOT DRIVEN INTO THIS TABLE THREE STRAIGHT TIMES, AND HE’S SLUMPED AGAINST IT!
Jake Mercer: AND DRAKE’S NOT DONE! HE BACKS UP—
Flannery McCoy: RUNNING BOOT TO THE SIDE OF IMPACT’S HEAD! HE DAMN NEAR TOOK HIS HEAD OFF!
Stew-O: IMPACT IS DOWN! HIS BODY JUST CRUMPLED TO THE FLOOR AFTER THAT BOOT CONNECTED FLUSH!
Jake Mercer: And look at Drake! Hands on his hips, nodding his head. He knows he’s back in control now.
Flannery McCoy: But instead of capitalizing immediately, he takes a moment to soak in the chorus of boos raining down from the Boston crowd!
Jake Mercer: What do they know? He’s just taking a well-earned breather after weathering that storm from Impact.
Stew-O: Well, that breather better not last too long, because the referee’s count is climbing—AND DRAKE FINALLY GRABS IMPACT, MUSCLING HIM BACK INTO THE RING!
Flannery McCoy: And look at this! Instead of following him in right away, Drake climbs up onto the apron and ascends the turnbuckle! He’s going high risk!
Stew-O: He’s perched on the top rope, measuring Impact, who’s starting to stir…
Jake Mercer: HERE HE GOES!!!
Flannery McCoy: DIVING KNEE DROP TO THE BACK OF IMPACT’S HEAD!!
Stew-O: THAT’S A KILLER SHOT! DRAKE ROLLS HIM OVER IMMEDIATELY AND HOOKS THE LEG!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOO—
Stew-O: Impact shoots the shoulder up! However, Drake is back on the attack, relentless and viscious as can be. He traps his head within his left arm, and with the right, he batters him in with punch after punch aiming and landing on his forehead. Drake is completely rabid here!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, we haven’t seen him be this aggressive in a good while. This whole situation with Impact has clearly pushed Drake over the edge ever since the Hall of Famer himself attacked him on that Dynasty after King of Elite. Since then, the gloves have long since been thrown off, and we’re seeing just how truly nasty things have escalated! Drake is definitely doing all that he can to let Impact know he isn’t the one to fuck with!
Flannery McCoy: He sure is. Drake does him in one more time with a punch before he cinches him closer with the tight side headlock. He gets up and walks backwards, bouncing Impact off of the ropes! He comes back on the rebound—only to get levelled with a clothesline! Drake put in a lot of force behind that one!
Stew-O: He did, and he follows that up by placing some stiff boots to Impact! Stomp after stomp, not holding back!
Jake Mercer: Ah man, now the referee is stepping in, telling Drake to back up—
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) SHUT THE HELL UP!!
Referee: (off-mic) O.
Jake Mercer: :damn: !!
Flannery McCoy: Oh, wow, I’ve never seen him explode like that!
Stew-O: Me either! But Drake has had enough of Impact, and he looks to end him as he reaches over—
Jake Mercer: PUNCH TO THE GUT! THAT SLIGHT MOMENT WHERE DRAKE JAW-JACKED THE OFFICIAL ALLOWS IMPACT TO GET A SHOT IN! DRAKE WINCES, BUT HE CLUBS HIM OVER THE BACK AGAIN WITH A PUNCH OF HIS OWN!
Flannery McCoy: But Impact isn’t relenting in his own right! He strikes him AGAIN with another shot to the abdomen! This time, Drake takes a step back. He huffs, and steps forward, going for a knee lift—
Stew-O: Impact rolls out of the way! Quick-thinking maneuvering there from the ten-time former world champion! Armstrong is surprised by the evasion—AND HE GOES DOWN AS IMPACT JUST CAME BEHIND HIM AND CRASHES HIS BACK INTO HIS KNEES! BACKSTABBER!! That was a nasty landing for Drake!
Jake Mercer: Not good for Drake, who’s rolling around like a damn fish out of water! That back is quickly becoming the biggest target area, and Impact is doing everything he can to hit the bullseye every chance he gets!
Flannery McCoy: Drake arches his back in pain! He tries to sit up, but Impact comes in with a running boot to the chest, sending him back down! Now, he grabs the top rope and gets to stomping some mudholes into him!
Stew-O: The referee steps in, warning Impact to back off, but he’s fired up! He takes a moment to shake off the ref’s warning, then yanks Drake up by his arm—AND WHIPS HIM FULL SPEED INTO THE CORNER! DRAKE HITS SPINE-FIRST AND SLUMPS DOWN, LOOKING WORSE FOR WEAR!
Jake Mercer: Impact is laser-focused right now! He backs up to the opposite corner, eyeing his target! HERE HE COMES!!!
Flannery McCoy: RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT IN THE CORNER!! IMPACT JUST DROVE BOTH KNEES INTO DRAKE’S CHEST! HE CRUMPLES TO THE MAT, COMPLETELY GASSED!
Stew-O: Impact isn’t letting up for even a second! He drags Drake away from the ropes and hooks him in! Snap suplex!
Jake Mercer: …?! And Impact floats backwards, *hanging* onto Drake! He’s setting up for something else!
Flannery McCoy: And that ends up being a vertical suplex!
Stew-O: … BUT IMPACT DOESN’T LET GO!
Jake Mercer: :damn: !!
Flannery McCoy: Once again, Impact forces Drake up, and you can see that he’s hurting! Impact readjusts his grip one more time before he sends him up—and DOWN HE GOES! NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX!
Stew-O: Three variants of suplexes were just used in quick succession of each other, once again targeting Armstrong’s back! Impact gets the cover and hooks the leg, not leaving anything to chance!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—
Jake Mercer: But the blessed King kicks out! :blessed:
Flannery McCoy: Drake Armstrong stays alive, but at what cost? His back has to be in excruciating pain after that suplex sequence!
Stew-O: And Impact knows it! He sits up, a sly grin forming on his face as he realizes he’s got Drake exactly where he wants him. He rises to his feet, dragging Drake up by the wrist, and HE PULLS HIM INTO A SHORT-ARM CLOTHESLINE!
Jake Mercer: Drake is down again, and Impact doesn’t let go! He YANKS him up one more time! ANOTHER SHORT-ARM CLOTHESLINE! Armstrong is looking absolutely rocked here!
Flannery McCoy: But look at this! Impact doesn’t stop there! HE ROLLS THROUGH, KEEPS HIS GRIP, AND—BAM! A *THIRD* SHORT-ARM CLOTHESLINE DROPS DRAKE ONCE AGAIN!
Stew-O: This is absolute domination from the Hall of Famer! Impact stands over Drake, looking down at him with nothing but disdain before grabbing his leg and he’s twisting him over!
Jake Mercer: Oh no…!!!
Flannery McCoy: HE’S GOT THE WALLS OF IMPACT LOCKED IN!!!
Stew-O: YES! YES! HE DOES! THAT DEVASTATING LIONSTAMER IS APPLIED RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! IMPACT IS LEANING BACK, APPLYING ALL THE PRESSURE ON DRAKE’S TORTURED BACK!!!
Jake Mercer: The “King is in serious trouble! Look at him clawing at the mat, trying to drag himself toward the ropes! He’s screaming in pain, but Impact is wrenching back even harder! This may be too much!
Flannery McCoy: Drake lifts his hand! IS HE ABOUT TO TAP?!
Stew-O: He’s hovering it!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Stew-O: **NO!** HE SHAKES HIS HEAD! HE’S STILL FIGHTING!
Jake Mercer: :blessed: ! THE KING IS NO QUITTER! HE CLOSES THAT HAND UP INTO A FIST, DRIVES IT DOWN, AND HE STARTS CRAWLING! INCHING CLOSER! EVERY MOVEMENT MUST BE AGONY, BUT HE’S SO CLOSE TO THAT BOTTOM ROPE!!
Flannery McCoy: IMPACT LEANS BACK EVEN MORE, ALMOST TRYING TO SITT ON DRAKE’S BACK AND TURN THIS INTO A FULL BOSTON CRAB—BUT WAIT!!! DRAKE DIGS HIS FINGERS INTO THE CANVAS, AND HE MAKES ONE FINAL LUNGE….!!!
Stew-O: HE GETS THE ROPE!!! THE REFEREE IMMEDIATELY CALLS FOR THE BREAK, BUT IMPACT HOLDS IT IN! HE’S IGNORING THE COUNT!!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR—
Jake Mercer: And just before five, he finally lets go! But the damage may have already been done! Drake is clutching his lower back in agony!
Flannery McCoy: Impact stands tall, smirking as he looks down at his opponent. He’s got this match completely under control. Is this the beginning of the end for Drake Armstrong?!
Stew-O: It very well could be, Flannery! Drake is in an awful position here, writhing in pain on the mat, while Impact has been able to stay on top of his weakness throughout this match so far! The veteran is making a statement tonight, systematically dismantling Armstrong piece by piece!
Jake Mercer: Oh, man. And speaking *of* dismantling, Impact gets him up and slams him down across the knee with a pendulum backbreaker! He keeps him perched there, and brings his hand down to his chin, turning this into yet *another* excruciating submission!
Flannery McCoy: Impact is just torquing the spine right now! He’s pressing down on Drake’s chin while his knee digs deep into the lower back! This is brutal!
Stew-O: Drake is groaning in pain, his face twisted in agony! The referee is checking on him, asking if he wants to give up… but look at him! He’s shaking his head! He’s refusing to submit!
Flannery McCoy: Stubbornness is one thing, but I don’t know how smart this is! His back has been obliterated throughout this match, and Impact is making sure there’s nothing left of it by the time he’s done!
Stew-O: This is a dire position for Drake, but he’s determined to get out of this—OH! A KNEE! HE RAISES A KNEE, AND IT HITS IMPACT ON THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD!
Jake Mercer: What was that again about this not being smart again, Flann?!
Flannery McCoy: Okay, maybe my fears were a little too premature, but Drake is going to have to keep at it if he wants to get out of this!
Stew-O: And he does! Another knee is raised! Impact gets clocked! And a third one lands, causing him to toss Drake away! The veteran pops down on his rear, trying to shake off the cobwebs!
Jake Mercer: But there is Drake, getting up! He’s hurt, but he sees Impact in a vulnerable spot! He sprints forward, and GOES FOR THE BOOT STRAIGHT TO THE MUSH!
Flannery McCoy: NO!! IMPACT FALLS BACKWARDS, AVOIDING IT ENTIRELY! HE SCOOPS ARMSTRONG DOWN, GETTING THE SCHOOLBOY PIN! SHOULDERS ARE ON THE MAT!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—
Stew-O: Kickout! Drake pops up, and goes for a stomp! Impact moves out of the way! He grabs him by the legs, and once *again*, he gets him with a pin; this time a modified sunset roll up!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—
Jake Mercer: Only to garner yet another kickout! Drake is up—AND HE DOES A DOUBLE FOOT FACE SCRAPE, CATCHING IMPACT OFF GUARD! HE CLUTCHES HIS FACE, AND ARMSTRONG HITS THE ROPES! LEG DROP!
Flannery McCoy: Drake put his all into that! His leg remains across his throat as he grabs the leg, turning this into a quick pin attempt himself! Will it count!?
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—
Jake Mercer: Nope! Shoulder is up!
Stew-O: Drake slaps the mat in frustration, but he knows he has to keep pressing forward! He shakes off the pain and pulls Impact up… BUT IMPACT SHOVES HIM BACK!
Flannery McCoy: But look at Drake! He’s not backing down! He lunges forward—BUT IMPACT CATCHES HIM WITH A BACK ELBOW!
Jake Mercer: That one rocked him! Drake stumbles, and Impact sees his opening!! HE RUSHES FORWARD! LARIAT—
Stew-O: NO!! DRAKE DUCKS UNDER IT! HE RISES BACK UP FOR A PUNCH—
Flannery McCoy: NO! IMPACT CATCHES THE ARM!! HE YANKS DRAKE IN AND GOES FOR A SUPLEX—BUT DRAKE SLIPS OUT OF HIS HOLD AND LANDS BEHIND HIM! HE PULLS HIM UP! SPIN-OUT POWERBOMB!!!
Jake Mercer: WHAT A COUNTER!!! DRAKE GOES FOR THE COVER!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT IMPACT PERSISTS!
Stew-O: FOR HOW MUCH LONGER, THOUGH!? BECAUSE DRAKE GRABS A HOLD OF HIM AND SHOOTS UP, HOISTING HIM UP! HE’S GOING FOR ‘BY THE BOOTSTRAPS’!!!
Jake Mercer: ONLY FOR IMPACT TO RAIN DOWN SOME POINTED ELBOWS ONTO THE TOP OF HIS HEAD, DISCOURAGING HIM! DRAKE DROPS HIM DOWN, AND IMPACT STEPS BACK! HE RUNS FORWARD!
Flannery McCoy: ‘EVISCERATION’!!!
Stew-O: NO! NO! NO! **DRAKE ARMSTRONG BLOCKED IT!**
Jake Mercer: HOLY COW! DRAKE HAS HIM PERCHED UP! AND HE PUSHES HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! HE RUNS STRAIGHT TOWARD THE CORNER—
Flannery McCoy: DEATH VALLEY DRIVER INTO THE TURNBUCKLE!
Stew-O: And what a MASSIVE move that was! Drake rolls away, holding his back, but that may have effectively shut Impact out for the rest of the match! He’s limp, not moving whatsoever!
Jake Mercer: Oh, man! And Drake is like a shark in the water smelling blood! Turning his head, he sees that Impact is in a bad spot! However, there is no mercy to be had! He staggers up, doing his best to block out the pain that has *got* to be intense for him at this moment in time, and grabs him. Impact is out!
Flannery McCoy: No fighting. No energy. No resistance. Drake Armstrong has him in the most beneficial position possible, and *nothing* can get in the way of the King getting his victory!
Jake Mercer: Oh, what a wonderful night this has been already.
Stew-O: Drake has Impact dead in the center of the ring! He lifts him up, hooking one of his legs and drives him down..!
Jake Mercer: ‘DEATH PENALTY’!!
Flannery McCoy: Drake grins and crawls over him, pinning him into the mat!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(…)
(…)
Jake Mercer: bruh.mp4
Stew-O: IMPACT! IMPACT HAS KICKED OUT! HOW IN THE WORLD WAS HE ABLE TO DO THAT!?
Flannery McCoy: I HAVE NO IDEA—AND NEITHER DOES DRAKE! HE IS IRATE! HE SHOOTS UP, ANGER AND ADRENALINE BEING THE MAIN SOURCES FOR WHY HE’S EVEN ABLE TO DO THAT, AND YELLS AT THE REFEREE, *INSISTING* THAT IT WAS A THREE! HOWEVER, THE REFEREE IS STANDING THEIR GROUND!
Referee: (off-mic) They need to open back up the schools for you Elitists, because you know good and damn well he kicked out.
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) …
Stew-O: OH! DRAKE SHOVES THE OFFICIAL OUT OF ANNOYANCE AND MOUNTS IMPACT, HAMMERING AWAY WITH LEFTS AND RIGHTS! HE IS BERSERK!
Jake Mercer: Oh man, I get he’s mad, but he better be careful!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, he has completely lost his cool and could be at risk of disqualification—especially with the official coming in and yanking him by the arm from Impact! Drake’s eyes widen! He didn’t like that, and they go back and forth arguing!
Stew-O: Drake’s not backing down! Neither is the referee! However, Drake stops himself short, shaking his head. He realizes he’s wasting his time! He snarls, and turns back towards Impact—
Jake Mercer: ‘EVISCERATION’!! SHIT!! IT CAUGHT HIM COMPLETELY!!!
Flannery McCoy: ALL THAT ARGUING AND FIGHTING BACKFIRED ON ARMSTRONG!! IMPACT CRAWLS AND GETS THE COVER!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(…)
(…)
Stew-O: BUT DRAKE IS ABLE TO KICK OUT OF THAT ONE!
Jake Mercer: Yes! Yes! YES!!
Flannery McCoy: Impact clutches his head in frustration! You can’t blame him for being that way, though! He had the perfect set up! Drake was distracted on all the wrong things, and he took advantage of it. However, somehow, someway, he was able to kick out of one of the more devastating finishers in Impact’s arsenal, and this match continues!
Stew-O: Impact grits his teeth, breathing heavily. Still, with his experience, he isn’t in the camp of letting his temper flare. He works his way back up to his feet, and he grabs Drake, sending some knees into his body!
Jake Mercer: He really is looking to add more damage! He spins him around and lands a forearm onto his back! Drake stumbles forward into the ropes—and on the unintentional rebound, Impact CLOCKS him with a wheel kick to the spine!
Flannery McCoy: :lupe: Precarious situation here! Impact rises! He hits the opposite ropes and comes back with the dropkick!
Stew-O: BUT HE GETS TANGLED UP IN THE ROPES HIMSELF! AT THE *LAST* POSSIBLE SECOND, DRAKE ARMSTRONG MOVED OUT OF THE WAY!
Jake Mercer: !!!
Flannery McCoy: AND HE WAILS ON HIM WITH ELBOWS UPON ELBOWS! IMPACT CAN’T DEFEND HIMSELF AS HE’S STUCK ON THE MIDDLE ROPE! DRAKE BACKS AWAY, AND YOU CAN SEE THE PAIN ETCHED ON HIS FACE, BUT WITH ONE FINAL PUSH, HE HITS THE SIDE ROPES AND COMES BACK, NAILING A BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! IMPACT FALLS BACKWARDS!
Stew-O: Back is on the mat! His eyes look glazed over! He brings a hand up to the middle rope to try and get back up….
Jake Mercer: But look! Drake holds on to the top rope! He springs off the middle rope—CURB STOMP! HOLY FUCK!
Flannery McCoy: Rope-assisted springboard stomp flattens Impact, and the back of his head hits the mat at an uncomfortable angle! Drake sees his chance, however, and grabs the Hall of Famer! HE SETS HIM UP!
Stew-O: AND FOR THE SECOND TIME, IMPACT GETS NAILED WITH THE ‘DEATH PENALTY’!! DRAKE HOOKS THE LEG! IS THIS IT??
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Pride and Arrogance’ fills the air as Drake rolls off of Impact, a shit-eating grin overtaking his face. He lays on the mat, hand on his back, but the taste of victory is enough to numb the painful sensation. He shoots his free arm up in triumph, letting the boos pour down on him.)
Stephie Love: Here is YOUR winner… DRAAAAAAAAAAAKE ARRRRRRMSTROOOOOOOOOOONG!!!
Stew-O: What a battle to kick off Operation: Doomsday here tonight! Drake and Impact took each other to task after weeks of intense back-and-forth, but Drake gets to walk away as the victor!
Jake Mercer: Yessir! King Armstrong reigns supreme! Impact gave him a fight, and of course, he showed Drake why he is the greatest of all time. However, the Future has cemented himself as the best, and he got to lay down his foe after an impressive showing!
Flannery McCoy: It was insane. Both Elitists took each other to the limit. Drake gets the win, and with that, congratulations to him!
(The final shot sees Drake Armstrong coming to a stand, and looking down at a recovering Impact, before Operation: Doomsday fades into its first set of commercials.)

Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Stephie Love: And it is a FATAL FOUR WAY matchup!
(‘RUNITUP’ by Tyler, The Creator ft. Teezo Touchdown hits the PA speakers and Cosmo Goldworthy makes his way out from the back, getting his first taste of action on a bigger stage. Cosmo snarls at the fans reaching out for a tag, not fond of Boston at all. Despite the growing boos, Cosmo runs up the steps and climbs to the middle rope on the apron, extending his arms out to embrace the negative reception from the crowd.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, from The Golden State, weighing in at 220 pounds, he is… COSSSMMMOOOO! “MOOONNNEYYY MMMOOOO!!” GOOOLDDWOORRTTHHHYYYYYYY!!!
Stew-O: This is a big challenge for the up and coming Cosmo Goldworthy, who is intent on proving his worth here on Dynasty. He’s had some impressive showings in the past against BRAE and Holly Arrow—one of his opponents tonight, but this is an entirely different stage. It’s not exactly very easy to make an impact in your very first marquee event match and he’s likely going to understand why that is tonight.
Jake Mercer: Despite that! Cosmo has been very loud and confident going into Operation: Doomsday this week! He’s had an intense back and forth with Holly Arrow, and we know that he is willing to do whatever it takes to win, evident by him attacking Corey Hale from behind backstage last week on Dynasty!
Flannery McCoy: Very polarizing move by Goldworthy. He’s done his best to draw the ire of his opponents in various ways. I’m just not sure if it’s going to pay off like he thinks he will.
(Almost as if on cue, ‘Rise and Fall’ by Starset is the next theme song to play and Corey Hale makes his way out from the back, staring at Cosmo Goldworthy. A bit of that typical ‘Zen’ expression on his face is not showing, as he charges down the ring, ready to go to work! When Hale slides in, Cosmo rolls out, laughing at the agitated look on his face. The referee intervenes, making sure that nothing goes down before the bell rings.)
Stephie Love: His opponent, from Phoenix, Arizona, weighing in at 200 pounds, he is “THE CELESTIAL WANDERER”, COORRREEEYYYY! HAAALLLLLLEEEEEEEE!!
Jake Mercer: Despite not having the best of luck on Dynasty following King Of Elite, you cannot deny how talented Corey Hale is! He’s already gotten a pinfall victory over two-time Interwire Champion Jay Jerry Johnson, and he’s also beaten Cosmo Goldworthy prior to this match. Hale has a lot to prove, but we know that he can turn it up at any point.
Flannery McCoy: The thing is, we’re very used to Hale being calm and collected. Even though he’s promised to remain that—you’ve gotta wonder if Cosmo is actually in his head deep down. This is a lot o fire and aggression we’re likely to see from Hale tonight. Can he handle it, is the question?
Stew-O: In a chaotic environment like this one, you’re going to have to show that anyways. Cosmo is in Hale’s head, but it could backfire for Cosmo if he’s not careful, like you previously mentioned.
(‘Notorious’ by UPSAHL hits the speakers and the camera shifts over to Mia Santoro making her way out from the crowd. She tags a couple of fans and pauses, looking around to embrace the moment from the cheering Boston crowd. She makes her way over and climbs to the barricade, extending her arms out. Mia drops down and rolls in, ready to go.)
Stephie Love: Their opponents, from Key West, Florida, weighing in at 115 pounds, she is “LA DESPERADA”, MIIIAAAAA! SSAAANNNTTTOOOORRRROOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: Now this is a woman who has been very desperate to have her breakout moment here on Dynasty! Santoro has continued to grind and hustle to shine in the spotlight and it just so happens this has coincided with her beef with Holly Arrow.
Stew-O: This match came to be *from* Mia’s issues with Holly, and Cosmo and Hale simply got thrown in. Mia is tired of hearing all of the noise from Holly, being constantly reminded of her inability to beat her. Tonight is the chance for a huge upset, it’s just up to how much work Mia is willing to put in.
Jake Mercer: We’ve seen her put in a lot of work in the past! But this is very much a sink or swim situation. Three Elitists who want it just as bad as her. We’re really going to see what Santoro is made out of.
(And finally, ‘Judas’ by Lady Gaga hits the PA speakers for the final entrance of this match. Holly Arrow makes her way out with a very focused look on her face. There’s no time for theatrics, as Holly marches down the ramp, the fire in her eyes very visible. She stomps up the mat and enters the ring, posing in the center, but that’s the most you’ll get out of her as she backs up, looking at all three of her opponents.)
Stephie Love: Lastly, from Liverpool, England, weighing in at 149 pounds, she is “THE FINAL GIRL” HOOOLLLLLYYYYY!! ARRRROOOOWWWWW!!!
Stew-O: Holly has made it abundantly clear that she needs to become a singles champion, and she needs to win this match to get there. ‘Need’ has been a focus of Holly Arrow, because she feels as if her back is against the wall and she’s got nowhere left to go if defeat arises.
Jake Mercer: The thing is, we saw what Holly was capable of a couple of weeks ago against Jay Jerry Johnson. It was a phenomenal match and Holly was trying to prove herself championship worthy, but both Clayton Golde and Mia Santoro got involved and left a lot to be desired there.
Flannery McCoy: Now it’s up to her to show the results in the ring tonight, otherwise everything that she’s been talking about these past couple of weeks–particularly Santoro could mean absolutely nothing.
(DING DING DING)
Jake Mercer: That’s the sound of the bell and IMMEDIATELY! Holly Arrow and Mia Santoro charge forward, throwing hands with one another! Both women going back and forth with a brawl, neither of them willing to budge! Meanwhile, Cosmo Goldworthy is charging in for Corey Hale! But Corey brings him down with a double leg takedown and starts raining down hell on him, getting revenge for that blindside attack last week! Holly and Mia spill to the outside, here we go! All hell is about to break loose and this match has just begun!
Stew-O: Holly grabs Mia by the hair and throws her into the barricade! She scoops her up and sends her into the steel steps! Holly Arrow is willing to do whatever it takes to win this match up and we’re getting a first hand glimpse of that. In fact, she drags Mia up as she tries to scoop her up for a suplex onto the announce table! That would be one hell of a way to make your mark in this match, I’ll tell you that match!
Flannery McCoy: Meanwhile, Cosmo sends Corey back away with a knee to the ribs! He cracks him with a forearm and leans him against the ropes. Cosmo irish whips him off with a lot of aggression—ONLY FOR COREY TO COME FLYING FORWARD AND BARRELING THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A SUICIDE DIVE TO BOTH HOLLY ARROW AND MIA SANTORO! The two go crashing into the announce table and that fight over who would go into it ends up happening for no reason! Corey rises and he’s fired up!
Jake Mercer: Cosmo looks at Corey outside the ring in shock! Hale leaps onto the apron and Cosmo charges in, but a swift enzuigiri sends him back! Corey takes the top rope and springboards up, wasting no time. Cosmo looks up, and Corey sends him flying with a shotgun blast of a dropkick to the chest! Cosmo hits the canvas hard and he bounces off, falling to the turnbuckles. Corey kips up and he feels the energy coursing through his veins right now. This is not what Cosmo wants to be dealing with right now!
Stew-O: He slowly makes his way up and Hale meets him with a corner forearm smash! He takes the wrist for an irish whip across the ring, but Cosmo reverses with one of his own! Hale runs up the turnbuckles and Cosmo follows behind him, and Hale flips over! He hits off the ropes and Cosmo tries to take his head off–Hale ducks underneath it!
Flannery McCoy: AND HE RUNS RIGHT INTO A ROUNDHOUSE KICK FROM HOLLY ARROW! He had his head ducked down so he had no way of seeing what Holly was doing waiting on him! Cosmo hears Corey go down and turns around! He charges in for Holly as well, but Holly swings behind him and hooks the waist to throw him with a german suplex!
Jake Mercer: Beautifully executed! Cosmo holds the back of his head, rolling away. Corey slowly makes his way up and Holly clotheslines him into the turnbuckles. She pulls him out and kicks the gut. Holly grabs Hale in a front facelock and scoops him up high in the air for a POWERFUL IMPLANT DDT! That puts Hale out of it and Holly is up to potentially make a cover. She backs up towards the ropes, not trusting the rising Goldworthy… but Mia Santoro grabs her legs and pulls her right back out of the ring!
Stew-O: And the brawl is back on! Both women jockeying for position again outside the ring! Holly blasts Mia back with a forearm smash! Santoro staggers against the ring post, wheezing. Holly sees her chance and she runs in, LARIAT—NO! MIA DUCKS UNDER AND HOLLY’S ARM EATS THE STEEL! Holly holds at her bicep, trying to shake it out. Mia takes advantage of that and scoops her head, running to propel herself off of the post with a TORNADO DDT RIGHT ONTO THE FLOOR!
Flannery McCoy: Look outside the ring! Mia slowly rises to her feet and Cosmo Goldworthy comes running across, taking her down with a super—no! Mia catches the ankle and spins him around! Cosmo turns back and Mia scoops him up for an exploder suplex on the floor! “La Desperada” is on fire right now and she’s really starting to feel the heat! She slides in, calling Corey up!
Jake Mercer: Hale struggling to get up to his feet… Mia hits off the ropes, but HALE CRACKS HER WITH A SUPERKICK THIS TIME! He had too much time to recover! Corey falls into the ropes, groaning. He steps out to the apron and begins to climb to the top rope. Mia is still down, giving Corey all the time in the world that he needs to recover and fully regain his bearings. He looks down at her and he positions himself!
Stew-O: Corey yells out, setting up! AND HE DIVES DOWN WITH A FROG SPLASH! RIGHT TO THE RIBS OF SANTORO! FINALLY, WE’RE GOING TO GET OUR FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH AS HE HOOKS HER LEGS!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Flannery McCoy: SANTORO KICKS OUT! But almost immediately after that kick out is made, Holly Arrow rolls into the ring and he scoops Corey up off of her. She wraps her arms around his waist and spins into a belly to belly suplex! Holly rises, dusting her hands off. Mia is holding at her ribs as she rolls to the turnbuckles, trying her best to nurse them.
Jake Mercer: Holly takes Corey by the hair and slowly pulls him up, but Mia wants a piece of Holly all to herself! She leaps onto her back and tackles her down to the ground! Holly starts throwing all kinds of punches, beating down onto Holly! Holly kicks her off and both women rise up to their feet. Mia swings for Holly, but Holly catches the arm and twirls under. She leaps onto her back, bringing her down with a BEAUTIFUL single knee backstabber!
Stew-O: And after that, Holly rolls to her feet, proud of herself—BAM! Cosmo Goldworthy flattens her with a discus lariat, driving Arrow to the canvas! Corey rolls over near the ropes, using them to rise. Cosmo is coming off the ropes and he clotheslines Corey over! What he doesn’t know is that Corey landed on the apron, hanging on for dear life!
Flannery McCoy: Cosmo turns around to Corey and charges for him! ENZUIGIRI FROM COREY! He takes the ropes and now he leaps up, springboarding up! But no! Cosmo pushes his legs out from underneath him! Corey loses his balance and falls, going throat first into the top rope. He lies on the apron, coughing out in agonizing pain.
Jake Mercer: Extremely strong play by Cosmo to just go for the ropes right there! He forces Holly up and takes her by the head, but she spins out and grabs him in a front facelock of her own! Holly sets up for a DDT, but hold on! COREY IS BACK UP ON THE APRON AND HE SPRINGBOARDS UP! SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE TO HOLLY, FORCING THE DDT TO GOLDWORTHY! WOW! The athleticism of Hale in full display right now!
Stew-O: Cosmo rolls around the ring, writhing in pain. Corey slowly turns around–SUPERKICK TO THE KNEE FROM MIA SANTORO! AND THEN SHE SPINS INTO THAT ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! ‘TWO FOR THE ROAD’ CONNECTS! Mia flops ontop of Corey, pulling the leg up high for the cover!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Flannery McCoy: Holly and Cosmo leap forward to break it at the same time! Mia nurses the back of her head after being squished by both. Meanwhile both Holly and Cosmo look up to each other, realizing that they’re both after the same thing… Cosmo throws the first forearm, and Holly eats it! She throws one of her own and now it’s back and forth from here on out!
Jake Mercer: Something’s gotta give! Holly is starting to get the better of Cosmo with these forearms! She hits off the ropes, but Cosmo slides through her legs and leaps to the middle rope! SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT, TAKING HER DOWN! Beautifully executed! Cosmo rises to his feet, beating his chest! Holly rolls over and slowly makes her way up, and Cosmo dropkicks her into the turnbuckles! He rises to his feet and hits off the turnbuckles again, taking her out the corner with a charging back elbow! He tosses her out of the corner and climbs the middle rope, leaping off for a BLOCKBUSTER—
Stew-O: HOLLY CATCHES HIM IN MID-AIR! THE STRENGTH OF HOLLY ARROW! AS SHE HOLDS COSMO UPSIDE DOWN FOR A VERTICAL SUPLEX! But here comes Corey Hale on the apron! He’s climbing up to the top rope! AND COREY FLIES FORWARD! CROSSBODY TO COSMO FROM THE TOP ROPE, AND HOLLY TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A SUPLEX AT THE SAME TIME! GOODNESS!!
Flannery McCoy: ALL THREE ARE DOWN! But Mia Santoro takes note of this! She rolls to the apron, scrambling up to her feet! Mia makes her way over to the turnbuckles, frantically climbing up to the otp rope. All three are stirring, but she’s gotta be very wise about who she chooses here! Mia stares down, going for Goldworthy! AND SHE LAUNCHES HERSELF OFF THE TOP ROPE! ‘EYE IN THE SKY!!!’ THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS RIGHT ON THE RIBS OF COSMO! AND MIA HOOKS THE LEGS–
Jake Mercer: HOLLY ROLLS TO HER FEET AND SHOVES MIA OUT OF THE RING! HOLLY CRAWLS OVER FOR THE COVER, STEALING THE PIN!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: Mia pulls Holy by the hair and OFF of the pin! She drags Holly over to the apron through the middle rope and both women scramble up to their feet! Mia starts throwing hellacious strikes at the head of Holly! She kicks her in the ribs and slowly lowers her head, trying to lift her up—but Holly charges forward and shoves Mia back first into the ring post! Santoro staggers towards her…
Flannery McCoy: And Holly lifts her into a fireman’s carry! Holly looks down, intent on dropping Mia down on that apron! That could be a horrible collision! But Mia rains down elbows to the side of the head! Absolutely relentless in her pursuit to stay in this match! Mia keeps throwing those elbows down and she finally slips off! Holly is holding at her head, meanwhile Mia uses the rope to propel herself upwards into an enzuigiri!
Jake Mercer: Mia backs up against the turnbuckles. She’s trying to pul herself up top, but Holly comes back to life and races up! She captures the foot of Mia, trying to bring her right back down! Mia struggles, doing her best to kick Holly back! Holly won’t let go though and she pulls—ONLY FOR MIA TO THROW AN UP KICK TO THE JAW THAT ROCKS HER! Holly staggers backwards. She holds her jaw in agony, her head hunched down, and Mia just got a cruel idea, I think! She grabs onto the top of the post and begins to push her up to the middle rope from outside, and then the top! What the hell?!
Stew-O: SANTORO OFF THE TOP! DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE BACK OF HOLLY’S HEAD! AND BOTH WOMEN GO CRASHING INTO THE APRON!!! HOLLY’S FACE MAKES DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING AND SHE HITS THE GROUND HARD! MIA HOLDS AT HER SPINE, CRYING OUT IN AGONY AT WHAT’S JUST HAPPENED!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Flannery McCoy: She has to get her back in the ring, though! Holly has to be the most damaged person in this match right now! That’s Mia’s highest chances of winning this, but I don’t think she wants to take that risk! Mia slowly scrambles up to her feet–AND COREY HALE WITH A BASEBALL DROPKICK, SENDING HER BACK! Mia coughs out, holding at her chest. Hale slips to the apron, looking back with a big grin on his face. HE TAKES THE ROPES!
Jake Mercer: HALE SPRINGBOARDS UP, ASAI MOONSAULT ONTO HIS MIND! BUT HOLD ON! COSMO GOLDWORTHY IS ALREADY BACK UP TO HIS FEET! HE BOX JUMPS TO THE TOP ROPE AND LEAPS ONTO HALE’S SHOULDERS, SWINGING HIM BACK INTO THE RING WITH A HURRICANRANA! OH MY GOD!!! I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT! HE’S NOT DONE EITHER!
Stew-O: Now it’s Goldworthy coming off the ropes! AND HE TAKES MIA OUT WITH A HEAT SEEKING MISSILE LIKE SUICIDE DIVE INTO THE BARRICADE! SANTORO GOES DOWN! COSMO IS FIRING UP! HE LEAPS TO THE APRON AND MAKES HIS WAY TO THE TOP ROPE, CLIMBING UP HIGH! COSMO POINTS DOWN TO HALE! AS HE FLIES OFF THE TOP ROPE FOR ‘COSMOLOGY!’ THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS!!!
Flannery McCoy: HALE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! And Cosmo eats all canvas! High risk, high reward! And he just paid for that! Cosmo wheezes out in pain, struggling to even make his way up to his feet! He slowly does somehow, and Hale is waiting for him! Hale leaps to the middle ropes, springing backwards onto Cosmo’s shoulders for a POISON RANA, SPIKING COSMO RIGHT ONTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! GOODNESS!
Jake Mercer: I don’t even think he’s done, either! He drags Cosmo up and swings his arm over his shoulder! He drops back into a backbreaker, and then takes him down with a REVERSE STO! Cosmo’s face gets slammed into the canvas! Corey rises to his feet, beating his chest! Corey leaps over Cosmo’s body and makes his way to the ropes, once again looking to springboard up! But Santoro pulls his foot! She trips him back and kicks him in the mouth!
Stew-O: Corey is hunched over and Mia sees a chance to take an advantage! She takes the ropes and frontflips in, bringing Hale down with a sunset flip! But Hale rolls through before she c an get the shoulders down—AND COSMO SCOOPS HIM UP FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX! NO WASTED MOTION! Cosmo rises and grabs Mia by the legs, but she’s holding on to the middle ropes! He forces her up anyways, and she spins through the air to her feet, and leaps into an enzuigiri—Cosmo ducks under!
Flannery McCoy: He hooks her waist as she hits the ground and tries to deadlift her up for a german suplex of his own! But once again, Mia holding on to those ropes for dear life! She rolls forward, sending Cosmo throat first into the top rope! Mia rises and as Cosmo turns to her, she kicks him in the gut! Mia hooks the head and hooks the leg, SWINGING INTO THE BLACKEST—COSMO SPINS OUT! AND HE WRAPS HIS ARM AROUND HER NECK, PLACING HIS LEG IN FRONT FOR A RUSSIAN LEGSWEEP-
Jake Mercer: HALE FROM OUT OF NOWHERE WITH ‘ZENBREAKER’ TO GOLDWORTHY!!! THE SINGLE KNEE FACEBREAKER CONNECTS TO COSMO, FORCING HIM TO DROP BACKWARDS AND TAKE SANTORO OUT WITH A RUSSIAN LEGSWEEP! THAT COULDN’T HAVE GONE ANY BETTER FOR HALE! HE CRAWLS OVER, HOOKING THE LEGS OF COSMO FOR THE WIN!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: HOLLY ARROW BREAKS THE PIN UP FROM OUT OF NOWHERE! WHERE DID SHE COME FROM?! Holly is up to her feet and she’s pissed after missing so much time in this match! She yanks Corey up from the pinfall and ragdoll tosses him across the ring! Hale scrambles up and Holly charges in with a MASSIVE CORNER LARIAT! Corey falls to a seated position and she turns to Mia who’s still nursing her neck from that russian legsweep..
Flannery McCoy: RUNNING HIP ATTACK IN THE CORNER FROM HOLLY ARROW TO MIA! SHE JUST FLATTENED HER RIGHT THERE! HOLLY TURNS BACK AND SHE CHARGES INTO ANOTHER HIP ATTACK, THIS TIME TO HALE! MIA STILL ISN’T DONE!
Jake Mercer: IT’S BACK AND FORTH HIP ATTACKS NOW! HOLLY IS PISSED OFF! Mia falls down first, holding her neck in agony! She turns back to Corey and charges forward with a knee to the jaw! Holly pulls Corey out of the corner and hooks the waist, swinging him into a wheelbarrow position! Holly marches around the ring, showing off her power until she *finally* drops into a wheelbarrow facebuster! Corey gets planted into the mat and Holly has completely taken control of this match! And she rises, turning to the woman that tried to cave her head into the apron.
Stew-O: Mia is still lost and confused on where she’s at, and Holly is well aware of that. She drags her up and drills her with an european uppercut! Another one and Mia is still stunned! Holly takes the wrist of Mia and gives her a hammerwhip across the ring! Holly charges forward with a meteora to the standing Santoro! That puts Santoro down and Holly hits off the turnbuckles again, FOR A SECOND METEORA, THIS TIME IN THE SEATED POSITION–
Flannery McCoy: ‘READY TO DIE!!!’ THE TORNADO KICK FROM COSMO GOLDWORTHY JUST CAUGHT HOLLY FROM OUT OF NOWHERE! HIS SHIN LANDED FLUSH ON HER JAW AND SHE IS DOWN AND OUT! COSMO CRAWLS OVER, HOOKING THE LEGS FOR THE COVER! COULD THIS BE IT?!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Jake Mercer: ARROW NARROWLY KICKS OUT! THAT WAS SUPER CLOSE! But it’s NOT enough to win Cosmo this match, and that’s what bugs him out tremendously! Cosmo slaps the mat, looking around at the ring. Everyone is hurt right now, it’s his choice to take advantage where he sees fit! But Cosmo isn’t actually looking at anyone in particular…
Stew-O: He’s making his way out of the ring as he digs under the ring and starts grabbing steel chairs?! Cosmo is shouting out, but the camera was unable to pick it up as he starts tossing these chairs into the ring without a care in the world! Cosmo slides in the ring, and clearly he intends on taking manners into his own hands! He takes a chair and slowly drags it across the canvas with him. Corey Hale is the first to try and get up to his feet, wheezing out in pain.
Flannery McCoy: AND COSMO BASHES HIM OVER THE BACK WITH IT! Corey falls over, yelping out! Cosmo raises the chair and he smashes it against the back of Hale! Hale’s eyes go wide as he reaches around, trying to find himself back in this! Hale desperately tries to get up, meanwhile Cosmo is aiming straight for the skull! And I don’t think that’s where he wants to be at all!
Jake Mercer: A HOME RUN SWING TO THE HEAD OF HALE—HE DUCKS AT THE VERY LAST SECOND! COSMO TURNS AROUND AND COREY SUPERKICKS THE CHAIR INTO HIS FACE! COSMO GOES DOWN! HALE TAKES THE CHAIR FROM THE GROUND AND HE SETS IT UP IN SEATED POSITION! Cosmo rolls over, holding his head. Hale drags him up and hooks his head in vertical position! He looks around to the fans here in the TD Garden, and it is an emphatic shout of “YES!” to give Cosmo his comeuppance! BE ZEN, COREY! WHAT HAPPENED TO ZEN?!
Stew-O: Now isn’t the time to be Zen, Jake, and you know this! COREY SCOOPS COSMO UP HIGH! FOR A BRAINBUSTER ON THE CHAIR!!!!
Flannery McCoy: COSMO SLIPS OFF AT THE LAST SECOND! He lands behind the chair and turns Corey around, slamming his face down into the chair! Corey falls back, holding his mouth. Cosmo walks around, grabbing Corey up, and he throws him out of the ring! Cosmo takes the chair and moves it closer to the ropes. Corey is still holding his mouth, trying his best to recover. And now! COSMO HITS OFF THE ROPES!
Stew-O: OH MAN! COSMO RUNS UP THE CHAIR, AND THEN LEAPS TO THE TOP ROPE AS HE FLIES INTO A SOMERSAULT SENTON ONTO AN UNSUSPECTING COREY HALE!! AND BOTH MEN GO CRASHING STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR! THERE’S NO QUIT IN ANY OF THESE FOUR! THEY CONTINUE TO PULL OFF SOMETHING DAMNING EACH TIME!
Jake Mercer: And that leaves Mia Santoro and Holly Arrow in the ring! Someone has to take advantage! Holly is still nursing her jaw from Cosmo’s tornado kick earlier, and Mia is slowly making her way up as well… Mia stares at Holly, contempt in her eyes as she runs forward and tackles her into the turnbuckles! Mia unleashes all of her rage on Holly in the corner, trying her best to make a name for herself! Holly covering up to the best of her ability!
Flannery McCoy: Holly shoves Mia back and swings that elbow to the jaw! It lands, but Mia wants more! DISCUS ELBOW FROM HOLLY! MIA DUCKS UNDER AND LEAPS TO THE MIDDLE ROPES! SPRINGBOARD THRUST KICK! It stuns Holly, and Mia rises, following it up! WITH A ROLLING THUNDER DROPKICK!
Jake Mercer: HOLLY SIDESTEPS AND CATCHES HER OUT OF THE AIR! She cradles Mia like a baby and tosses her up in the air, flipping her to her stomach so she can catch her in that position! Holly hoists her into a wristclutch and then raises Mia up in the air, SPINNING INTO ‘ODIN’S LOST EYE’ ONTO THAT SEATED CHAIR!!! OH MY GOD! THE CHAIR JUST BENT IN HALF AT THE COLLISION OF SANTORO’S BODY WITH IT! HOLY SHIT! THAT HAS TO BE IT! HOLLY ROLLS HER OVER FOR THE COVER!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: WHAT?! MIA SANTORO GETS THE SHOULDER UP! NO ONE NEEDED TO SAVE HER, SANTORO SIMPLY SHOWED ENOUGH RESILIENCE TO REMAIN IN THIS MATCH! Holly kneels up, looking at the referee in shock! Holly runs her hands through her hair. We have heard all week just how desperate Holly is to win this match! She does not want to lose by any means and be forced to the back of the line!
Flannery McCoy: How far is that hunger going to take her, though?! I don’t know! Holly looks at the steel chair, contemplating if she wants to use it. Mia isn’t the one who introduced it, so it’s not the fair play she’s looking after. But perhaps it could get her closer to what she wants….
(After that kickout, Holly rises, feeling a bit delirious. She inches towards the chair, contemplating if she wants to take out her anger on Santoro and not the man who actually introduced the chair into this match.)
(Holly shakes her head, not afraid of using the weapon but suddenly more concerned about the morals of it all. She takes a moment, but realizes that she doesn’t need to directly use it to win the match–)
Jake Mercer: AND COSMO GOLDWORTHY MAKES THE DECISION FOR HER! HE SHOVES HOLLY SHOULDER-FIRST INTO THE RING POST! And the boos begin pouring out through this building! Cosmo takes her by the arms and drags her to the center of the ring! Cosmo mounts Holly and starts to pound her face in with vicious elbows to the side of the head! Holly’s head is bouncing off the canvas, over and over and over! Cosmo told Holly that he wanted it more than her and this may have been exactly what he meant!
Stew-O: He moves the chair out of the way and makes his way over to the turnbuckle. Cosmo digs into the top turnbuckle pad and he begins to rip it off! Holly has no idea what’s hit her, but Cosmo is surely intent on winning this match! He grabs her by the head and THROWS HER FACE INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE!
Flannery McCoy: Holly captures the ropes and stops him at the last second! Cosmo’s eyes widen, and then Holly elbows him square in the ribs! SHE TAKES COSMO BY THE HEAD AND BONKS HIS HEAD OFF THE EXPOSED STEEL! COSMO HOLDS HIS HEAD IN AGONY, AS HE FALLS TO A SEATED POSITION! Holly staggers backwards, falling onto her ass! She wants to do more, but her shoulder is killing her!
Jake Mercer: BUT HOLD ON! COREY HALE ENTERS THE RING AND HE CHARGES FORWARD, STOMPING OUT THE HURT GOLDWORTHY! COSMO STILL HAS NO IDEA WHAT’S HIT HIM, AND HALE TAKES A CHAIR! HE WEDGES IT BETWEEN THE BOTTOM TURNBUCKLE AND COSMO’S HEAD! HALE IS OUT FOR REVENGE AND HE’S ABOUT TO TAKE IT RIGHT NOW! COSMO IS STILL UNAWARE!
Stew-O: Corey marches to the opposite side of Goldworthy, stepping out to the apron and grabbing the top rope. I think Cosmo has begun to realize what’s happening! He’s flailing, trying to get free, but IT’S TOO LATE AS HALE DIVES OFF THE TOP! ‘HALESTORM!!!’ THE SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK FROM ACROSS THE RING TO THE CHAIR, SMASHING IT INTO THE FACE OF GOLDWORTHY! HE’S OUT OF IT! AND THE CROWD HAS LOST THEIR MIND FOR THIS MATCHUP!
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! 👏👏 THIS IS AWESOME! 👏👏 THIS IS AWESOME! 👏👏
Flannery McCoy: THIS IS HALE’S MATCH TO WIN! ABSOLUTELY! GOLDWORTHY IS OUT—NO! HOLLY SHAKES OFF THE PAIN IN THAT SHOULDER AND SHE SNAPS HALE AROUND, POPPING HIM UP IN THE AIR! ‘VICTORIA!’ THAT KNEE STRIKE LANDS RIGHT ONTO THE MOUTH AND COSMO IS OUT OF IT! HOLLY DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER!
Jake Mercer: SHE GOES DOWN ALRIGHT! MIA SANTORO FROM OUT OF NOWHERE! A SCHOOLBOY ROLLUP, BRINGING HOLLY’S SHOULDERS DOWN TO THE CANVAS!! HOLLY FLAILS DESPERATELY!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Stew-O: SHE STOLE IT!!
Flannery McCoy: HOLLY BARELY KICKS OUT! THAT WAS EXTREMELY CLOSE! AND BOTH WOMEN STAGGER UP TO THEIR FEET, CHARGING INTO A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE! AND THEY GO DOWN AT THE SAME TIME!
Jake Mercer: How close that was! Both Santoro and Arrow are out of it, struggling to get up to their feet… meanwhile Hale has rolled out of the ring after being hit with ‘Victoria’, and Cosmo is on the apron. He holds his mouth, struggling to make sense of what has happened.
Stew-O: Mia rolls over, holding at her chest. Holly rolls over as well. Both men stagger up and stare at one another, and they charge into another brawl! They’re going back and forth, throwing punch for punch! Mia getting the better of Holly, and then she kicks at that bad shoulder of Holly! Mia bounces off the ropes with a dropkick! Holly gets sent back and as Mia takes her time rising, HOLLY COMES OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE FOR A PENDULUM LARIAT! WITH THE BAD SHOULDER THOUGH!
Jake Mercer: We hear the cries of agony from Holly Arrow! Hale looks inside the ring, scrambling up to his feet as he tries to get in and take advantage—but off of sheer desperation, Cosmo rises to his feet and uses Hale for support, driving him forward into the steel ring post! Cosmo falls back, but he’s still on the attack from Hale who’s now dazed!
Flannery McCoy: Hale captures Cosmo and tackles him down! Both men rise to their feet and begin brawling on the outside, but Cosmo takes his hair and throws him into the barricade! Hale holds his side and Cosmo staggers away, holding his head. Hale still tries to get up, but LOOK OUT!!!!
Stew-O: ‘COLDEST WINTER’ THROUGH THE BARRICADE!!!! COSMO GETS HALE WITH THAT SPEAR, AND BOTH MEN GO CRASHING THROUGH THE BARRICADE! THEY HIT THE GROUND HARD AND THEY’RE BOTH OUT AS A RESULT I CAN’T BELIEVE THE TWISTS AND TURNS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN THIS MATCH!
Jake Mercer: And back in the ring, Holly pulls Mia up to her feet! She hooks her up, trying for ‘Odin’s Left Eye’ again! But gone to the well one too many times as Mia elbows the side of her head! She elbows her again and spins out, grabbing that bad shoulder! AND SHE RUNS IT INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE! HOLLY’S SHOULDER MEETS THAT STEEL AND SHE GOES DOWN, CRYING OUT IN AGONY!
Flannery McCoy: MIA GOT HER! HOLLY IS DOWN AND MIA STEPS OUT TO THE APRON! She looks around with a big grin on her face, willing to show the killer instinct that Holly refused to tap into earlier in the match! Mia makes her way up to the top rope, looking around… She points down to Holly without a care in the world, as she LAUNCHES HERSELF OFF OF THE TOP ROPE! ‘CHASE THE FEELING!’ THE DIVING LEGDROP CONNECTS!
(**WHACK!**)
Stew-O: HOLLY ARROW GRABBED A CHAIR FROM THE GROUND AND SHE USES ALL OF HER STRENGTH TO LAUNCH IT AT MIA’S HEAD IN THE AIR! MIA GOES CRASHING STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE GROUND, KNOCKED OUT! HOLLY FORCES HERSELF UP DESPITE THAT PAIN IN HER SHOULDER!
Flannery McCoy: No remorse on the eyes of Arrow! She pulls Mia to her feet and hooks the head and arm, wasting NO TIME AS SHE SCOOPS HER UP FOR ‘PSIONIC CROSSBOW!’ RIGHT ONTO THE TOP OF SANTORO’S HEAD! AND HOLLY FLOATS OVER, HOOKING THE LEGS FOR THE COVER!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(DING DING DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER OF THIS MATCH, HOOOOLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYY!!! ARRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
(‘Judas’ by Lady Gaga begins playing once again and many in the crowd rise to their feet, giving Holly a standing ovation for her performance tonight. Holly rolls off of Santoro, breathing heavily. The referee helps her up and Holly insists he use the good arm—which he does, to raise her arm up. The cheers get even louder and Holly looks around, nodding to the reception.)
(Mia Santoro is still down and out on the floor, holding her head and trying to decipher what the hell happened to her. Outside the ring, referees and ringside staff are aiding both Cosmo Goldworthy and Corey Hale near the timekeeper’s area.)
Stew-O: Just as she promised, Holly Arrow gets it done and uses all three of these Elitists as a stepping stone to future success! It was a great showing from all three, but this was Holly’s match to win and she sure did just that!
Jake Mercer: You’ve gotta give credit where credit is due! Mia Santoro was extremely intent on proving that she could be on Holly Arrow’s level. She even showed glimpses of that tonight, but Holly was far too determined and too game to leave with the win tonight. Even with a bum shoulder, Holly still reigns supreme over all three, impressive!
Flannery McCoy: She has her eye on what she desires the most, championship gold, and this has certainly gotten her closer to that goal. Cosmo, Corey, and Mia have nothing to be ashamed of. But some Elitists have nights where they just can’t be beaten no matter what. This may have been one of those nights for Holly.

Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Stephie Love: AND IT IS FOR THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP!
(“Confident” by Demi Lovato begins blaring through the speakers to deafening boos; a large number of tier 3 subscribers to the Golden Gospel podcast made their way out and lined the ramp, cheering as loudly as they can as Clayton Golde swaggered out from behind the stage curtains! Clayton was surrounded by Onlyfans women who carried his signature Liquid Golde drink; as Clayton headed down the ramp, he gestured to the women to hand out the drinks to the richest looking people of the front row at ringside.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST! Hailing from an undisclosed location in Romania, weighing in at 210 pounds, he is THE GOLDEN GOD… CLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLDE!
Stew-O: We are in for a tremendous clash of styles tonight! Here we have the newest challenger for the Interwire Champion, the supposed ‘alpha male’ Clayton Golde, who asserted himself into the title picture by interfering in Jay Jerry Johnson’s match against Hans Grayson, costing the champion the victory!
Flannery McCoy: I’ve made it no secret how I feel and you can bet I’ll make that clear; Clayton Golde NEEDS to go down. I’m not a huge fan of all the brooding that the current champion does, but if Clayton Golde becomes the Interwire Champion, this brand is REALLY going to go downhill!
Jake Mercer: Are you serious, Flannery? It sounds like you need to take the Golde Pill, just like the EAW Universe does! Clayton Golde has been putting in the work since his debut and he’s ready to follow through on his last name tonight when Golde brings home the gold!
(‘Mayoi Uta (Song of the Lost Star)’ by MyGO!!!!! began blaring through the speakers to loud cheers as Jay Jerry Johnson solemnly marched out to the center of the stage with the EAW Interwire Championship wrapped around his waist. He stood still before taking the championship into his hands and staring intently at it, before throwing it over his shoulder and beginning his march down to the squared circle.)
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT! Hailing from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 223 pounds… he is THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION… THE ARTIST, JAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRY! JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHNSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
Stew-O: As if the interference didn’t cause enough friction, the issue boils down to their personalities; Jay Jerry Johnson has made it clear the disdain he holds for everything Clayton Golde is and represents!
Flannery McCoy: I’m right there with him! Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Jay Jerry Johnson is the man to cheer tonight; he has been diligent since his sudden return and even more abrupt return to the Interwire Championship, and he looks to keep that focus even with the loud mouth he has to face!
Jake Mercer: Booo! This guy does nothing but speaks in riddles, which is… uh… a very ‘beta’ move for a man!
Flannery McCoy: Did you seriously just check the Golde Handbook on what to say?
Jake Mercer: Hey, every student needs to learn from the teacher!
Stew-O: These two are as different as they can be, but only one of them will be able to walk out of Operation: Doomsday as the Interwire Champion! Who is it going to be?! It’s time to find out!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: And the match is underway! We’ve got the all-serious technical grappling master in the Interwire Champion, Jay Jerry Johnson, going head to head with the flashy all-rounder in his challenger, Clayton Golde!
Flannery McCoy: The champion, Jay Jerry Johnson, calmly steps out from his corner with his eyes narrowing towards Clayton Golde, who swaggers out of the corner with a smug smirk plastered across his face!
Jake Mercer: MY Golden God has already begun spewing some of his signature trash talk at Jay, but the champion remains silent! Jay looks to get things going as he begins approaching Clayton Golde, forcing him to match the champion’s movements and begin circling the ring!
Stew-O: Jay Jerry Johnson quickly closes the gap and goes for a collar and elbow tie up, looking to start things off with the type of grappling he does best, but Clayton Golde manages to evade it and slips past Jay, dusting his hands off!
Flannery McCoy: He’s trying to make it seem like he’s playing coy, but he’s just a damn coward! So much for being an alpha male, huh?
Jake Mercer: He IS an alpha male! Clayton is playing with his food before he feasts and becomes the Interwire Champion, that’s all; look at that, even giving a wink to the ladies at ringside before turning back towards Jay and gesturing for him to just bring it on!
Stew-O: Jay Jerry Johnson does exactly that, lunging forward with a hint of a scowl on his face to go for that collar and elbow tie up, only for Clayton to immediately transition behind him and latch on a rear waist lock! Clayton Golde lifts him up, perhaps looking for a classic maneuver of his own, the atomic drop!
Flannery McCoy: But Jay Jerry Johnson arched his back to bring his body forward enough to avoid being planted down onto the knee of the challenger! The Interwire Champion lands on his feet and yanks Clayton Golde’s body over his shoulder to drop him right in front with a snapmare!
Jake Mercer: And now with Clayton Golde forced into a seated position in front of the Artist, Jay Jerry Johnson leans down and wraps his arm around– not his throat, but his JAW! This is something we don’t see too often in EAW, but I believe Jay is applying a NECK CRANK to the challenger here!
Stew-O: A rear naked choke would cause an opponent to lose consciousness, but a neck crank is him trying to force Clayton Golde to tap out just through the sheer PAIN that it inflicts! You can see that smug grin immediately disappear on Clayton’s face as he flails his legs around in pain as Jay wrenches in that hold as hard as he can!
Flannery McCoy: All of that flailing is making it difficult to keep the hold locked in, though, especially because of how fresh Clayton Golde still is in this match! Jay isn’t able to hold on tightly enough, leading to Clayton being able to slip his head out of the hold and turn himself around to face Jay in a kneeling position!
Jake Mercer: And from that kneeling position, Clayton rises up and catches Jay Jerry Johnson with a front waist lock as he does! He’s showing Mr. Real Graps some real graps of his own here as he arches back and PLANTS the Interwire Champion with a perfectly executed Northern Lights Suplex! See, Flannery? He’s not all talk, Clayton Golde can walk the walk!
Flannery McCoy: Oh brother, give me a break.
Stew-O: After planting him with that Northern Lights Suplex, Clayton Golde immediately twists himself around and rolls Jay Jerry Johnson up with a schoolboy pin out of nowhere!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Flannery McCoy: But Jay Jerry Johnson kicked out emphatically! He was too focused to get caught off guard with something like that, even after he got the wind knocked out of him!
Jake Mercer: Clayton Golde isn’t deterred, though! He doesn’t let up the pressure as he goes to immediately drag the Interwire Champion back to his feet before connecting with a jab to the face! And now he’s unloading on the Artist with a flurry of jabs, knocking him further and further back towards the corner of the ring!
Stew-O: Now he’s got Jay cornered and dazed here with his back up against the turnbuckles of the ring! Clayton Golde, ever the flashy superstar, starts riling up the crowd as he spreads his arms out wide and takes a few steps back, causing boos to rain down on him… except for the tier 3 subscribers to his podcast, who are cheering their vocal cords to death.
Flannery McCoy: I hate to say it, but Clayton Golde has the Interwire Champion right where he wants him here! He takes a few more steps back, measuring the Interwire Champion up, and then he LUNGES forward!
Jake Mercer: Clayton Golde takes a bounce to his step before launching his foot right at the jaw of Jay Jerry Johnson, looking to knock the Interwire Champion out cold with a corner SUPERKICK!–
Stew-O: BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON WAS ABLE TO SEE IT COMING AND DUCKED UNDERNEATH! The Artist escaped the cornered position, ducking underneath the leg of Clayton; meanwhile, the Golden God’s leg ended up getting stuck at the corner!
Flannery McCoy: He struggles as he pulls it out, but Jay Jerry Johnson is right behind him and ready to capitalize on the moment of vulnerability that was afforded to him! Clayton doesn’t see the attack coming, but Jay Jerry Johnson grabs a hold of his head and yanks it back into a EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! European uppercut connects to the back of the head just as Clayton’s leg gets free!
Jake Mercer: The impact of that blow forces the Golden God to stagger forward a few steps into the corner, but Jay Jerry Johnson is as ruthless as ever after his dramatic return near the end of last year and he has no intentions of giving Clayton Golde even a moment to recuperate from the damage that’s being inflicted on him!
Stew-O: He reaches forward and wraps his arms around the head of Clayton Golde before locking in a rarely seen standing cobra clutch! We know well enough that Jay Jerry Johnson is considered one of the best technicians not just of the Dynasty brand, not just of EAW, but of the professional wrestling industry as a whole, and he’s looking to show us that fact throughout this match!
Flannery McCoy: The Cobra Clutch is damaging enough, but he’s using it as a grip to yank Clayton Golde away from the corner and the ropes, bringing him towards the center of the ring before he ARCHES BACK!
Jake Mercer: COBRA CLUTCH SUPLEX! A very innovative move by Jay Jerry Johnson, I must admit, as he absolutely plants the Golden God right here in the center of the ring! The sheer impact of that maneuver forced Clayton Golde to pop up from the laid out position to a seated position, clutching his throat in pain from that cobra clutch while his back is arched from pain after being thrown unceremoniously to the canvas!
Stew-O: Jay Jerry Johnson is not done with his onslaught of offense, though, as he immediately begins to take aim at the seated Clayton Golde to follow up with even more damage! He rushes past his seated opponent and sprints towards the ropes before rebounding off them and launching himself at the Golden God with added velocity!
Flannery McCoy: And now he makes it back to Clayton Golde and connects WITH A RUNNING PENALTY KICK! WHAT A KICK! The sound of the impact sounded like a gunshot in the arena, and you can tell how much that hurt with the way Clayton was left clutching at his chest!
Jake Mercer: :lupe: Jay isn’t letting up, he just forced Clayton’s hands off of his chest before leaping up into the air! DOUBLE FOOT STOMP CONNECTS TO THE CHEST OF THE GOLDEN GOD! From that standing position, Jay Jerry Johnson just drove his entire body weight into the chest of Clayton Golde, and though I may hate to say it, Jay is showing us exactly why he was able to win back the EAW Interwire Championship so quickly after his return! It was almost as though he never left!
Stew-O: Jay Jerry Johnson drops to the canvas after connecting with that double foot stomp to the chest of Clayton Golde and grabs a hold of BOTH of his legs, hooking them both for a cover with as much leverage as he can afford! After all rapid-fire offense he launched at the Golden God, is he going to be able to get the pinfall right here and now?!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOO–
Flannery McCoy: Damn, it still wasn’t enough! Clayton Golde is showing quite the amount of resilience here tonight; even after taking maneuver after maneuver and all of that damage, he didn’t even manage to give the Interwire Champion a full two count before that emphatic kick out!
Jake Mercer: See it, embrace it, LOVE IT! By the end of tonight, we’ll ALL be taking the Golde Pill, because Clayton Golde is going right to the top of the industry and he’s taking the Interwire Championship alongside him!
Stew-O: But even with that impressive kick out, Jay Jerry Johnson is still in the lead and he’s not looking to relinquish it anytime soon! There’s a look of annoyance at his face at Clayton Golde’s endurance, but nevertheless, the Interwire Champion rises back to his feet and drags Clayton Golde up alongside him!
Flannery McCoy: A sudden forearm smash to the face of Clayton Golde forces the challenger to turn around, and Jay Jerry Johnson finds himself behind Golde!
Jake Mercer: But he’s not going for a rear waist lock this time! He throws Clayton’s arm over his head before hoisting him up– HE’S GOING FOR A BACK DROP! NO, HE’S FOLLOWING THROUGH, HE’S GOING FOR A BACK DROP SUPLEX ON THE GOLDEN GOD!
Stew-O: BUT CLAYTON GOLDE SOMEHOW MANAGED TO ROTATE ENOUGH TO LAND ON HIS FEET! HE AVOIDED DISASTER RIGHT THEN AND THERE! Jay Jerry Johnson appears to have noticed the difference between the sound of a suplex landing and a landing on the feet, because he immediately turns around looking to prevent his opponent from catching him off guard–
Flannery McCoy: But Clayton Golde was one step ahead, looking to knock the Interwire Champion’s head off with a CLOTHESLINE OUT OF NOWHERE!
Jake Mercer: Jay Jerry Johnson’s quick thinking was just barely enough for him to be able to avoid that clothesline, ducking underneath it to get behind Clayton Golde once again! Clayton looks to smash the side of Jay Jerry Johnson’s head with a back elbow to prevent him from going for another attack from the back, but the Interwire Champion was able to block it with his forearm!
Stew-O: And immediately after that block, Jay wraps his arms around the throat of Clayton Golde, this time opting to go for the classic rear naked choke! THE CHOKE HOLD IS APPLIED! The oxygen is being rapidly cut off from the brain of the Golden God, and Clayton’s face shows that he knows he’s in trouble right now!
Flannery McCoy: CHOKE THE LIFE OUT OF HIM CHAMP!
Jake Mercer: :whoa:
Stew-O: Clayton Golde is doing everything he can to pry the arms of the Interwire Champion off of his throat, but Jay Jerry Johnson’s grip is iron-clad and he has no intentions of letting go! Clayton tries to reach for the ropes, too, but they’re not even close to being within reach and Jay is not letting Clayton move close enough towards them to be able to lay a finger on them!
Flannery McCoy: This may really be it for the challenger, I think he may not be getting out of this hold! WAIT–
Jake Mercer: CLAYTON JUST FORCED THE TWO OF THEM TO TURN AWAY FROM THE REFEREE, AND I THINK THE GOLDEN GOD JUST REACHED BACK AND RAKED THE EYES OF THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION! THE ARMS IMMEDIATELY COME LOOSE FROM THE THROAT OF CLAYTON GOLDE AS JAY JERRY JOHNSON STAGGERS BACK, CLUTCHING AT HIS FACE IN PAIN!
Stew-O: WHAT DIRTY TACTICS BY CLAYTON GOLDE! But we should be expecting this type of behavior from him, considering what he’s done in the past to be able to get ahead! He got himself into this title match by interfering in Jay Jerry Johnson’s match with Hans Grayson in the first place, so we know he’s not above bending the rules so long as he benefits from it!
Flannery McCoy: Is this what the gOlDe PiLl is all about?! That’s so cheap!
Jake Mercer: You call it cheap, but if it works, it WORKS! It got him out of the hold, and now Jay Jerry Johnson staggered back enough to have his back to the ropes! Clayton Golde took those few moments to recuperate from the pain of that rear naked choke hold, getting the oxygen back to his head, before turning around and seeing the precarious position that Jay Jerry Johnson had stumbled into!
Stew-O: And without a moment of hesitation, the Golden God breaks into a sprint as he rushes towards the Interwire Champion with all he has before swinging his arm towards the head of Jay Jerry Johnson! CLOTHESLINE CONNECTS, AND THE IMPACT IS ENOUGH TO SEND JAY JERRY JOHNSON OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Flannery McCoy: But almost as though it were out of sheer instinct, Jay Jerry Johnson reached forward and caught the top rope, preventing himself from falling down to the ringside floor! The Interwire Champion managed to keep himself standing on the apron, but he is definitely dazed out of his mind after taking that point-blank clothesline from Clayton Golde full force!
Jake Mercer: Clayton Golde has some ideas of his own, it seems, because he just slid himself out of the ring from underneath the bottom rope! The Golden God is at ringside right now and he just grabbed a hold of both the ankles of Jay Jerry Johnson–
Stew-O: OH! HE JUST YANKED THE ANKLES BACK! Jay Jerry Johnson is forced to fall down to the ringside floor, and he just FACEPLANTED on the edge of the apron! That’s the hardest part of the ring and the Interwire Champion fell face-first on top of it with no protection!
Flannery McCoy: That impact immediately led him to fall back, but Clayton Golde caught him, not even giving him the opportunity to fall down! He grips the back of his head with a fistful of hair before SLAMMING his face down on the apron once again, just doubling up on the damage he just caused the Interwire Champion! Even after all the damage he took earlier, Clayton has now taken the reins of the match and he’s in control!
Jake Mercer: Jay Jerry Johnson, meanwhile, has crumpled into a heap up against the apron of the ring, and now he’s being treated to a brutal, merciless assault as the Golden God hits him with a barrage of stomps! This is the type of wrestler Clayton Golde wanted to show the world that he is; he’s a spitfire on the mic, international superstar with a podcast, but when he steps into the ring – or at ringside, in this case – he’s a MONSTER!
Stew-O: He’s not giving Jay Jerry Johnson any chance to even breathe as he immediately drags him up out of the seated position and up to a standing position, albeit dazed! Clayton Golde drags Jay Jerry Johnson over to the nearby barricade before kneeling down and grabbing a hold of the leg of the Interwire Champion! What’s he got planned here?!
Flannery McCoy: Clayton hoists him up high before DROPPING him with a flapjack right onto the edge of the barricade! The impact isn’t enough to drop Jay Jerry Johnson back to the ringside floor, but it does send him staggering back; this is enough for Clayton Golde, though, because he immediately springs to his feet and measures the Interwire Champion up–
Jake Mercer: Before rushing forward to the back of the Artist and leaping up into the air! Clayton grabs a hold of the back of Jay Jerry Johnson’s head before falling down with it, dropping him face-first to the ringside floor with a running bulldog! Look at the skill on display! Clayton Golde rises up from the floor right next to the barricade and brushes his shoulder off; the audience in the front row is jeering the hell out of him, but he’s just mocking them back!
Clayton Golde: Who do you think you’re booing, fatass? You know who you should really be insulting? That 304 right next to you! But what good would it even do? Anything you say would just get lost between her second and third chins! Neither of you are worth the OF ladies I brought with me today, and even they’re only worth the money I paid ‘em! The only one worth anything here is ME! Not you all, and not the champion either! Want to see what I mean? CHECK THIS OUT!
Stew-O: Some insanely narcissistic, sexist, fatphobic nonsense from the challenger here, but it looks like he’s telling the world to watch closely because he’s got something big planned! Jay Jerry Johnson is laid out on the ringside floor, face down, but Clayton just turned him over to a supine position! From there, Clayton walks away from him and gets over to the apron before climbing on top of it!
Flannery McCoy: Now he’s towering over Jay Jerry Johnson and one look in his eyes shows you he’s got some malicious intentions here tonight! He looks down at the Interwire Champion and takes a breath before–
Jake Mercer: HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF OFF THE APRON! FRONT FLIP IN MID-AIR BY THE AGILE CHALLENGER BEFORE– LEG DROP! CLAYTON GOLDE JUST CONNECTED WITH A DIVING 450 LEG DROP TO THE CHAMPION! :damn: :damn: :damn:
Crowd: :damn: :damn: :damn:
Stew-O: That move was so tremendous, it looks like even Clayton hurt himself by landing on the hip with such rotational velocity! But even with that and even with all the pain he’s suffered from Jay Jerry Johnson’s offense, he grits his teeth and fights through it, instead grabbing a hold of the Interwire Champion and dragging him to his feet before rolling him back into the ring!
Flannery McCoy: And now Clayton Golde scales the apron once again, but this time he’s facing into the ring rather than away from it! It looks like Golde is measuring Jay Jerry Johnson up, looking to take him out as he has his hands clutching the top rope!
Jake Mercer: Sure enough, Jay Jerry Johnson begins to slowly stagger up to a standing position, looking to be in a lot of pain; the Golden God doesn’t give a damn, though! He grips those top ropes tight before launching himself up onto them and SPRINGBOARDING off of them! He hurtles towards the Interwire Champion BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY!
Stew-O: AND WITH THAT CROSSBODY HE LANDS RIGHT ON TOP OF THE CHAMPION AND IMMEDIATELY HOOKS HIS LEGS FOR THE PIN! THE REFEREE BEGINS TO COUNT IT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
Flannery McCoy: BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON WAS STILL ABLE TO KICK OUT AFTER ALL OF THAT! CLAYTON GOLDE ALMOST HAD HIM, BUT THE ARTIST IS NOT LETTING GO!
Jake Mercer: CLAYTON GOLDE LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLABBERGASTED BY THAT KICK OUT! DON’T GIVE UP NOW KING, YOU’RE ALMOST THERE! FINISH HIM OFF!
Stew-O: Clayton Golde angrily slaps the mat before looking at his hand and slapping the back of Jay’s head instead.
Clayton Golde: COME ON! GET UP! WHAT WAS ALL THAT BIG SHIT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT ME? NOW LOOK AT YOU! ONE PUNCH AWAY FROM GETTING KNOCKED THE HELL OUT!
Flannery McCoy: Oh my god, will this man SHUT UP?! It looks like Clayton is aiming to wrap things up here as he begins to measure up the Interwire Champion for something big! He looks from Jay Jerry Johnson, who is starting to stagger up, to the ropes, and making some calculations in his head!
Jake Mercer: I think we know what he’s going for here, we’ve seen him do this before! The moment the Interwire Champion gets back to his feet, Clayton Golde suddenly rushes towards the adjacent ropes and leaps onto the middle rope before springboarding himself off them and launching himself backwards at the champion! HE’S GOING FOR HIS SIGNATURE MANEUVER, THE BRAND DEAL, THAT SPRINGBOARD STUNNER!
Stew-O: OH MY GOD! JAY JERRY JOHNSON JUST INTERCEPTED IT WITH A BICYCLE KNEE SMASH TO THE BACK OF THE GOLDEN GOD! CLAYTON JUST DROPPED LIKE A ROCK, ARCHING HIS BACK IN PAIN AFTER GETTING HIT WITH THAT DEVASTATING ATTACK!
Flannery McCoy: I THINK THAT SLAP AND TRASH TALK INVIGORATED THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION EVEN THOUGH HE WAS ON THE BRINK OF DEFEAT, BECAUSE THAT LAST BIT OF ADRENALINE-FUELED ENERGY IS RUSHING THROUGH HIS VEINS RIGHT NOW!
Jake Mercer: JAY JERRY JOHNSON LATCHES ON A FULL NELSON ON THE SEATED CLAYTON GOLDE AND USES IT TO PULL HIM BACK UP TO HIS FEET BEFORE ABRUPTLY ARCHING HIMSELF BACK AND PLANTING CLAYTON WITH A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX!
Stew-O: BOTH WRESTLERS ARE DOWN NOW WITH CLAYTON GOLDE HAVING TAKEN THAT DRAGON SUPLEX BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON COLLAPSING FROM THE EXERTION! IT’S ANYBODY’S GAME RIGHT NOW AS BOTH WRESTLERS STRUGGLE TO FIGHT THROUGH THE PAIN AND STAGGER BACK UP TO THEIR FEET!
Flannery McCoy: IT LOOKS LIKE THEY’RE BOTH UNWILLING TO GIVE UP, BECAUSE THEY’RE BOTH STARTING TO STIR AND RISE UP! CLAYTON GOLDE IS ONE STEP BEHIND, STILL REELING FROM THAT DRAGON SUPLEX; JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS ABLE TO GET UP MOMENTS BEFORE CLAYTON GOLDE DOES AND–
Jake Mercer: OH MY GOD! PRETTY VISITOR! THE JUMPING CUTTER OUT OF NOWHERE! THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION JUST DROPPED CLAYTON GOLDE FACE-FIRST ONTO THE CANVAS WITH THAT SIGNATURE JUMPING CUTTER AND IMMEDIATELY THROWS HIS ARM OVER THE SHOULDER, DESPERATELY LOOKING FOR THE SOUND OF THAT THREE-COUNT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
Stew-O: BUT CLAYTON GOLDE IS USING THE LAST BIT OF ENERGY THAT HE HAS TO STAY IN THE MATCH! THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION CLAWS AT HIS OWN FACE IN FRUSTRATION NOW, WONDERING WHAT IT’S GOING TO TAKE TO KEEP THE GOLDEN GOD DOWN FOR THE THREE COUNT!
Flannery McCoy: HE HAS TO DO SOMETHING! HE’S SO CLOSE NOW! JAY JERRY JOHNSON CRAWLS TO THE ROPES, NEEDING TO USE THEIR LEVERAGE TO BE ABLE TO DRAG HIMSELF TO HIS FEET, WHILE CLAYTON GOLDE IS DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO RECOVER BACK OVER AT THE CENTER OF THE RING! HE’S GOT HIS FACE CLUTCHED IN PAIN!
Jake Mercer: JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS BARELY ABLE TO MAKE IT TO HIS FEET AND DRAGS HIMSELF OVER TO CLAYTON GOLDE BEFORE FORCEFULLY DRAGGING THE GOLDEN GOD BACK TO HIS FEET! I THINK THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION IS LOOKING TO KNOCK THE CHALLENGER OUT COLD NOW! HE DUCKS DOWN AND DUCKS HIS HEAD BETWEEN THE QUADS OF THE GOLDEN GOD BEFORE HOISTING HIM UP— OH GOD, WE KNOW WHERE HE’S GOING WITH THIS! HE’S GOING FOR HEAVEN’S FEEL, HIS FINISHING BACK-TO-BELLY PILEDRIVER–
Stew-O: BUT CLAYTON GOLDE MANAGED TO SWING HIS LEGS OVER THE HEAD OF CLAYTON GOLDE AND LAND ON HIS FEET! BOTH WRESTLERS ARE BACK TO BACK NOW, AND CLAYTON GOLDE JUMPS UP, LOOKING TO REACH BACK AND CATCH THE HEAD OF JAY JERRY JOHNSON ON HIS WAY BACK DOWN– HE’S GOING FOR HIS FINISHER, C’EST LA VIE, THE LEAPING INVERTED STUNNER–
Flannery McCoy: BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON REACHES BACK QUICKER, DRAGGING CLAYTON OVER HIS SHOULDER AND PLANTING HIM WITH A MAKESHIFT INVERTED POWERSLAM! THE IMPACT OF THAT MOVE CAUSES JAY TO FALL DOWN TO HIS KNEES!
Jake Mercer: AND NOW JAY JERRY JOHNSON WRAPS BOTH OF HIS WRISTS AROUND THE THROAT OF CLAYTON GOLDE WHILE TRAPPING THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH HIS LEGS! OH GOD, NO! THIS IS THE JERRY SPECIAL ‘99! THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION’S DEADLY PERUVIAN NECKTIE!
Stew-O: CLAYTON GOLDE IS STRUGGLING WITH EVERY BIT OF MIGHT THAT HE HAS, BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS NOT LETTING GO!
Flannery McCoy: ALL OF THE OXYGEN IS BEING CUT OFF FROM HIS BRAIN! IS THIS IT?!
Jake Mercer: THE REFEREE IS CHECKING TO SEE IF THE GOLDEN GOD IS STILL CONSCIOUS, BUT THE FLAILING IS STARTING TO STOP… no…
(…)
(…)
(…)
Stew-O: HE’S OUT COLD!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER BY SUBMISSION… AND STILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! YOUR EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION… THE ARTIST, JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! JERRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHNSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
Stew-O: What a hellish fight between the two of them! Clayton Golde brought so much pressure tonight, giving the veteran champion everything he had in his arsenal and pushing Jay to his absolute LIMIT!
Flannery McCoy: On multiple occasions, Clayton Golde had Jay Jerry Johnson on the brink of defeat, but the Interwire Champion managed to hang on each and every time! And for what it’s worth, the Artist put Clayton Golde through absolute HELL, but Clayton Golde managed to kick out each and every time!
Jake Mercer: Unfortunately for the world, it looks like the Golde Pill will have to wait… but this title defense showed that Clayton Golde is, without a doubt, a championship level competitor; for now, though, it is undisputed that Jay Jerry Johnson remains the Interwire Champion and continues his impressive record-tying second reign for another marquee event!

(‘Vortex’ by Jinjer begins to blast through the speakers. Daniella Atlas comes out from the back and does her signature pose on top of the ramp. Daniella looks more than confident about her chances of winning the match. Then, ‘Let Me Hear’ by Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas replaces ‘Vortex’ which causes Daniella to look back. Saori Aizen comes from the back, doing her own signature pose on top of the ramp before giving Daniella her own attention. There is a slight look of hesitation on Daniella’s face, but it’s completely wiped away as the two women make their way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS A TAG TEAM MATCH AND IT’S SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…THEY ARE THE TEAM OF ‘THE BLACK FLAME’ DANIELLA ATLAS AND ‘THE REAPER’…SAORI AIZEN!!!!!!
Stew-O: All of this began with Daniella Atlas interrupting Fire & Ice’s interview, kicking them down even more following Raven Roberts’ loss at King of Elite. Raven had put on one of the best performances of her entire career at King of Elite and still, Daniella had something to say about it. She accused Fire & Ice of being a shell of their former selves. That their time has passed. It resulted in Fire & Ice issuing the challenge – Daniella finds a tag team partner and they have a tag team match. It would be a mystery to who would team with Daniella.
Flannery McCoy: It would lead her to cross paths with Saori Aizen before Daniella Atlas’ match with Raven Roberts. While it would seem like another scenario where the two of them would bag on each other for their failures, it seems like Saori was more than determined to find a common ground. The common ground is that they are two women who don’t want to be forgotten. While Saori is looking for a foundation, Daniella has already built an empire.
Jake Mercer: Saori Aizen would make an appearance during Daniella Atlas’ match with Raven Roberts, costing Raven the victory. Daniella wasn’t too happy, but Saori Aizen would talk about the possibility of them joining forces and dominating Dynasty together. Saori would volunteer to be Daniella’s partner at Operation: Doomsday and well, the rest is history. The two of them are looking to send Fire & Ice into the retirement home and will they be able to do that?
(‘I2I’ by Magnolia Park begins to play through the speakers as the crowd cheers for Fire & Ice.The left half of the stage is filled with orange and red smoke. Right side is filled with blue and white smoke. Rex McAllister and Raven Roberts come from the back as Rex takes Raven by the hand, spins her around and catches her in a dip. The two of them survey the sold out crowd tonight as they make their way down the ramp, tagging the fans’ hands in the front row on their way to the ring.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING THEIR OPPONENTS…THEY ARE THE TEAM OF ‘THE LIONHEART’ REX MCALLISTER AND ‘THE BIRD OF PREY’ RAVEN ROBERTS…FIRE & ICE!!!!!!
Stew-O: I can’t imagine how it must feel for Rex McAllister to be performing in an FPV. He missed out at King of Elite after stepping aside to allow Raven Roberts a chance to compete for the Universal Women’s Championship.
Flannery McCoy: It was a modest thing for Rex McAllister to do, but tonight, he finds himself in action as he teams with Raven Roberts! Fire & Ice are former Unified Tag Team Champions! Two very decorated Elitists! They look to give Saori Aizen and Daniella Atlas the ultimate receipt after they question whether Rex and Raven have what it takes to be successful again. Can the two of them be a champion after so long? I certainly think that they’re more than capable of that, but Daniella and Saori think otherwise. Those two women are looking to expose Fire & Ice for being past their prime.
Jake Mercer: Daniella Atlas and Saori Aizen look to use each other to get to the top of the Dynasty brand. Daniella’s a former Specialists Champion and Empress of Elite finalists! Saori Aizen has faced a couple of setbacks throughout her career here! She could look at Daniella as someone who could get her to that next level! This is a huge opportunity for them! Rex McAllister and Raven Roberts are former World Champions! Rex is a Hall of Famer! Raven could be on her way of becoming one herself! Knocking them off would be the rub that Saori and Daniella need to get them to that next stage of their careers! Can they do that? Or will Fire & Ice prevail?
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: AND, WE’RE UNDERWAY! We are beginning things off with Raven Roberts of Fire & Ice and Daniella Atlas! The two are staring down at each other! They have their hands in front of them for the lock up and ready to block if necessary! We see Raven looking to reach with a punch and test things out, but Daniella backs up a bit! The two women shuffle towards their left, making a circle in the process! Their hands still up and they go for the lock up! But, Daniella goes behind Raven with a waistlock! But, Raven switches and goes for a waistlock on Daniella! But, Daniella is back with the waistlock on Raven! But, Raven goes back with the waistlock on Daniella! These two women going back-and-forth with these standing switches! Daniella manages to switch and grab Raven by her waist! It seems like Raven is going to go down, but Raven connects with a drop toehold!
Flannery McCoy: Daniella Atlas is taken down so early into this match up! Raven Roberts manages to grab Daniella by her waist connected with a body mat slam and look at this! Raven begins to spin around a face down Daniella before getting her in a front headlock! She looks back at Saori Aizen, who does not look amused by the situation! Raven begins to connect with some knees to the gut of Daniella before following that up with a standard suplex! Raven floats over, going for the first pin fall attempt of the match!
OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Daniella Atlas with a quick kick out here! Raven Roberts goes over to her corner to tag in Rex McAllister into the match!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Stew-O: Raven Roberts gets Daniella Atlas’ in a side headlock before running and connecting with a running bulldog into Rex McAllister’s knee! ‘Frostbite’ connects as Raven takes her place where Rex previously was! Now, we see Daniella slowly rising to her feet as Rex rebounds the ropes! He connects with a shoulder block on Daniella as that takes her down! Then, we see Rex get Daniella and whip her to the corner! Rex looks back at Saori Aizen at the corner before taking Daniella into a second turnbuckle with a running forearm to the face! We see Rex connect with a series of forearms to the face of the former Specialists Champion! It’s quite rare to see Daniella get handled like this!
Flannery McCoy: I agree, Stew! Saori Aizen is trying to get the attention of Rex McAllister! For a slight second, we see Rex taken off guard! Then, he goes to resume his attention back to Daniella Atlas! He manages to grab Daniella up by her face, straighten her up and looks for a knife-edge chop to her chest! BUT, DANIELLA MANAGES TO SPRING BACK TO LIFE BEFORE TRADING POSITIONS WITH REX! NOW, IT’S REX THAT IS BACKED AGAINST THE CORNER AS DANIELLA SWINGS FORWARD, NAILING THE KNIFE-EDGE CHOP TO REX’S CHEST! DANIELLA MANAGES TO GRAB REX BY THE ARM, LOOKING TO WHIP HIM TO THE CORNER DIAGONALLY FROM THEM! BUT, REX MANAGES TO COUNTER THE WHIP, SENDING DANIELLA CRASHING TO THAT CORNER!
Jake Mercer: Rex McAllister charges after Daniella Atlas, looking for a running clothesline! BUT, DANIELLA MANAGES TO JUMP UP, HOLDING THE ROPES ON EACH SIDE OF HER AND NAILS A DROPKICK TO REX, TAKING HIM BACK! THEN, DANIELLA CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING FOREARM TO THE BACK OF REX’S SKULL AS THAT TAKES HIM DOWN! DANIELLA BEGINS TO POUNCE ON THE HALL OF FAMER FROM BEHIND! SHE CONNECTS WITH A SERIES OF CLOSED FIST PUNCHES TO THE BACK OF REX’S HEAD! THEN, SHE BEGINS TO STOMP ON THE BACK OF REX’S HEAD! SHE IS STARING AT RAVEN ROBERTS, WHO DOESN’T SEEM TO LIKE THAT WHATSOEVER! AND, DANIELLA IS LIVING FOR THAT!
Stew-O: Daniella Atlas picks up Rex McAllister and connects with a series of cravate knees to the gut of Rex! Then, she goes back to her corner! On cue, Saori Aizen tags herself into the match!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Flannery McCoy: Daniella Atlas and Saori Aizen pick back Rex McAllister to the horizontal set of ropes! Rex rebounds off of them, not being able to control his momentum before Daniella and Saori connect with simultaneous spinning back kicks! This causes Rex to bend forward, clutching his stomach in response as falls to his knee! With Daniella taking her spot at her corner, Saori begins to connect with a headbutt to Rex as that causes him to fall to his back! Saori follows that up with a double foot stomp to the chest of the former World Heavyweight Champion! Saori goes for the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWW–
Jake Mercer: Rex McAllister with a kick out! Saori Aizen manages to grab Rex by the back of his head and take him to the ropes! SHE HAS HIS HEAD ON THE MIDDLE ROPE, NEAR HER CORNER AS SHE BEGINS TO PLACE HER KNEE ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK! SHE APPLIES A ROPE CHOKE AS REX IS GASPING FOR AIR, TOTALLY FEELING THE EFFECTS OF SAORI’S KNEE ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK! I THINK THAT THE REFEREE MIGHT NEED TO STEP IN AND BREAK UP THIS!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! STEP AWAY, SAORI!
Stew-O: After a slight moment, Saori Aizen gets her knee off the neck of Rex McAllister! She has her hands up as the referee looks to briefly lecture her! BUT, LOOK AT DANIELLA ATLAS! SHE RUNS AND CONNECTS WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE SIDE OF REX’S SKULL AS THAT KNOCKS HIS HEAD BACK INSIDE THE RING! The referee didn’t see that coming! Raven Roberts runs towards Daniella, who goes back to her corner, pretending that nothing happened! The referee catches Raven trying to go after Daniella and yells for her to get back to her corner! Raven is trying to tell the referee what’s up! But, the referee is doing her best to keep this match under control!
Flannery McCoy: Raven Roberts gets back to her corner! She doesn’t want any trouble! Meanwhile, Saori Aizen manages to grab Rex McAllister by the nape of his neck! She pulls him through the middle rope again! She exits the ring and connects with a jawbreaker through the middle rope as that takes Rex back inside the ring! Saori begins to make her way to her corner and get on top of the turnbuckle! She waits for Rex to begin rising up to his feet before –
Jake Mercer: MISSILE DROPKICK FROM THE TOP ROPE AS IT CONNECTS TO THE BACK OF REX MCALLISTER’S HEAD! THIS TAKES HIM DOWN TO A KNEE! Then, we see Saori Aizen follow that up by connecting with a sliding forearm smash to the back of Rex’s head as that knocks him forward face first! Saori rolls Rex to his shoulders as she goes for a pin fall attempt here!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWW–
Stew-O: Rex McAllister with a kick out! Saori Aizen gets Rex McAllister in a front headlock before connecting with a series of cravate knee strikes! This seems to weaken ‘The Lionheart’ as he falls to his knee! BUT, LOOK AT THIS! SAORI TRANSITIONS THAT TO A LAST CHANCERY SUBMISSION HOLD! Rex finds himself in a bit of trouble as he finds himself stuck there for the time being! Daniella Atlas is encouraging Saori to keep the submission hold locked in! Meanwhile, Raven has a look of concern, but she has enough faith in her husband to find a way out of this predicament!
(Raven Roberts begins to stomp on the apron. The stomps sound like the beat of the ‘Rise of the Terminator’ as the EAW Universe begins to mimic it. The energy in the crowd begins to intensify as Rex McAllister uses it to his strength. Rex begins to fight and tries to get himself closer to the nearest set of ropes. Saori Aizen shakes her head no as she can feel her grasp loosening.)
Flannery McCoy: Rex McAllister finding some strength thanks to the EAW Universe! Saori Aizen with a look of surprise on her face as Rex manages to get his hand on the bottom rope! Saori needs to release the hold, but it seems like she’s refusing! The referee looks to break up the count!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! LET GO, SAORI!
Jake Mercer: Saori Aizen releases the hold! She doesn’t want to risk a disqualification for her team! BUT, ONCE AGAIN, LOOK AT DANIELLA ATLAS, WHO TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE REFEREE BEING DISTRACTED BY SAORI! DANIELLA MANAGES TO STOMP THE HEAD OF REX, CAVING IT TO THE GROUND BEFORE QUICKLY HEADING BACK TO HER CORNER! BUT, RAVEN ROBERTS DID NOT LIKE THAT! SHE GOES OVER TO DANIELLA ATLAS AND YANKS HER BY THE LEG, CAUSING DANIELLA TO FALL FACE FIRST ON THE EDGE OF THE APRON!
Stew-O: THAT’S WHAT YOU GET, DANIELLA! SAORI AIZEN MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A WRECKING BALL DROPKICK AS RAVEN ROBERTS CRASHES BACK AGAINST THE BARRICADE! But, Rex McAllister rises to her feet before getting Saori, pulling her by the hair and connecting with an elbow drop to her chest as she drops down! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE REX SEES THAT DANIELLA ATLAS IS BEGINNING TO RISE TO HER FEET AS REX LAUNCHES HIMSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE AND CONNECTS WITH A CORKSCREW PLANCHA TO THE OUTSIDE AS THAT DROPS DANIELLA! Rex is getting fired up as he gets Daniella and throws her to the barricade towards our right side! RAVEN BEGINS TO RISE UP TO HER FEET BEFORE CHARGING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A GIANT BOOT TO THE FACE OF DANIELLA! AND THEN, A GIANT BOOT FROM REX TO DANIELLA! THIS TAKES HER DOWN! BUT, FROM INSIDE THE RING –
Flannery McCoy: SAORI AIZEN CONNECTS WITH A ‘HORIZON OF THE CAPTIVATING SKANDHA’ – A DIVING MOONSAULT THAT TAKES DOWN BOTH MEMBERS OF FIRE & ICE! She gets Daniella Atlas and takes her back to her corner! Then, she gets Raven Roberts and throws her body into the steel steps! She gets Rex McAllister and rolls back inside the ring! Saori sees that Rex is slowly making his way back to his feet as Saori begins to connect with a series of side kicks to the arms of the Hall of Famer! But still, it seems like Rex is finding the strength to get to his feet! Saori continues on with these side kicks to the arms, BUT REX MANAGES TO CATCH HER BY HER LEG! YOU CAN SEE A LOOK OF REGRET ON SAORI’S FACE, BUT REX WITH A SMIRK ON HIS FACE!
Jake Mercer: DRAGON SCREW LEG WHIP TAKES SAORI AIZEN DOWN! BUT, DANIELLA ATLAS, OUT OF NOWHERE, MANAGES TO TAKE REX MCALLISTER DOWN WITH A DISCUS LARIAT! THEN, SHE PULLS SAORI AND TAKES HER BACK TO HER CORNER! DANIELLA TAGS HERSELF BACK INTO THE MATCH!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Stew-O: Daniella Atlas finds herself back into this match! She sees Rex McAllister slowly picking himself back up to his feet as takes him to one of his knees with a high kick to the side of his skull! Daniella grabs one of Rex’s arms before connecting with a ripcord dropkick as she sends him falling back! Then, she sees rolling back to his feet before connecting with a dropkick to the chest of the former World Champion as she sends him back to the corner! DANIELLA BEGINS TO STOMP ON THE CHEST OF REX! SHE MANAGES TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! SHE PRESSES HER FOOT AGAINST THE FACE OF REX! SHE BEGINS TO DELIVER HER OWN SET OF TRASH TALKING!
Flannery McCoy: Daniella Atlas begins to pick up Rex McAllister from underneath his chin before pushing him back against the corner! She sends herself forward with a knife-edge chop to the chest! This causes Rex to collapse to the second turnbuckle, but Daniella straightens him up again before connecting with another knife-edge chop to the chest! Rex is clutching his chest before Daniella grabs Rex by the arm and looks to whip him to the corner diagonally from them! Daniella whips Rex to the corner! Daniella runs after Rex, BUT REX BEATS HER TO THE PUNCH BY BACKFLIPPING HIMSELF OUT OF THE CORNER! REX GOES RACING TOWARDS DANIELLA, BUT DANIELLA CONNECTS WITH A BACK ELBOW! THIS TAKES THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION BACK!
Jake Mercer: REX MCALLISTER GOES AFTER DANIELLA ATLAS ONCE MORE MANAGES TO GET REX INTO POSITION FOR ‘THE MEMORY ROOM’ – THE SWINGING REVERSE STO TO THE TURNBUCKLE AT THE CORNER! Daniella begins to back away! I think that Daniella may have intentions of ending this match for her team! This is the best thing that could happen! Make sure that this match ends as fast as possible! Especially, when you’re in the ring with a competitor like Rex McAllister! One of the best in the business! Someone with a ton of knowledge and experience!
Stew-O: DANIELLA ATLAS WAITS FOR REX MCALLISTER TO GET HIMSELF TO HIS FEET! AT THE FIRST SIGN OF THAT, DANIELLA CHARGES TOWARDS REX – ‘BLACK DEATH’ – THE DISCUS ELBOW TO THE BACK OF REX’S HEAD! NO! REX MANAGES TO DUCK OUT OF THE WAY! HE PICKS UP DANIELLA AND CONNECTS WITH A CRADLE BACKBREAKER TOSS, WHICH SENDS DANIELLA CRASHING TO THAT CORNER! Rex goes back to his corner as he looks to tag in Raven Roberts, who is more than anxious to get herself into this match up! He launches himself to tag in Raven!
Flannery McCoy: NO! DANIELLA ATLAS MANAGES TO GRAB REX MCALLISTER BY THE FOOT AT THE LAST SECOND! SHE SAW EXACTLY WHAT REX INTENDED TO DO AND SHE DOESN’T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN! SHE MANAGES TO GRAB REX BY THE FOOT, HOLDING IT WITH ONE OF HER ARMS BEFORE GOING BACK AND TAGGING SAORI AIZEN BACK INTO THE MATCH!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Jake Mercer: Saori Aizen finds herself back into this match! Daniella Atlas still has possession of Rex McAllister’s foot! BUT, REX MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH AN ENZIGURI AS THAT CAUSES DANIELLA TO STUMBLE BACK! THEN, SAORI MANAGES TO GET THAT LEG BACK INTO POSSESSION! BUT, REX CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER ENZIGURI AS THAT CAUSES SAORI TO STUMBLE TO HER SIDE! REX MANAGES TO MAKE A JUMP TO THE CORNER AND TAG IN RAVEN ROBERTS!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
(The crowd becomes completely unglued at the very moment that Rex McAllister tagged in Raven Roberts into the match. The hot tag was exactly what was needed to amp up this match up.)
Stew-O: RAVEN ROBERTS GOES OVER THE APRON AS SAORI AIZEN LOOKS TO KNOCK HER OFF OF IT, BUT RAVEN PULLS DOWN THE TOP ROPE AND CONNECTS WITH A PELE KICK THAT SENDS SAORI BACK! RAVEN GETS ON THAT SAME TOP ROPE BEFORE SPRINGBOARDING HERSELF OFF OF IT AND CONNECTS WITH A CASADORA AS THAT TAKES SAORI BACK A BIT! But, Saori manages to find her way back to her feet! She goes right after Raven, BUT RAVEN NAILS HER WITH A FOREARM TO THE FACE! BUT, SOARI RESPONDS WITH A THROAT THRUST TO RAVEN! She grabs the former Universal Women’s Champion by her arm and looks to whip her to the ropes! Raven rebounds off the ropes and connects with a slingblade as that takes Saori down! Saori finds her way back up, but Raven beats her to the punch by connecting with a spinning back kick as Saori clutches to her stomach! Raven pulls Saori closer before taking her back with a northern lights suplex! The bridge on that suplex is held as Raven holds her there for the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWW–
Flannery McCoy: Saori Aizen manages to bridge herself out! The two women go spinning around BEFORE SOARI CONNECTS WITH AN ELBOW SMASH AND I COULD HAVE SWORN THAT I MAY HAVE HEARD RAVEN ROBERTS’ JAW CRACK! BUT, I THINK THAT RAVEN MAY BE FINE AS SHE CONNECTS WITH AN ELBOW SMASH OF HER OWN! BUT, SAORI NAILS HER WITH ANOTHER ELBOW SMASH! BUT, RAVEN WITH ANOTHER ELBOW SMASH OF HER OWN! WITH EACH ELBOW SMASH, BOTH WOMEN MANAGE TO MAKE THE OTHER STUMBLE! BUT, THEY REGAIN THEIR BALANCE! BOTH WOMEN REFUSE TO GO DOWN! THEY WANT TO BE THE ONE THAT HITS THE HARDEST!
Jake Mercer: Raven Roberts manages to connect with one of the harshest elbow smashes that she may have ever thrown as that knocks Saori Aizen to the horizontal set of ropes! But, Soari rushes towards Raven with a shoulder tackle that knocks ‘The Bird of Prey’ to the ground! Soari gets right on top of Raven before connecting with some stiff left and right punches! She manages to get Raven up by a fistfull of hair! BUT, RAVEN MANAGES TO SHOVE SOARI TO THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES ONCE MORE! SOARI GOES RIGHT AFTER HER, BUT RAVEN CONNECTS WITH A KITCHEN SINK THAT FLIPS SOARI FORWARD! SOARI IS CLUTCHING TO HER STOMACH AS SHE FINDS HERSELF IN A SEATED POSITION! RAVEN DOES A DOUBLE BACKFLIP BEFORE NAILING A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE FACE OF SOARI AS THAT KNOCKS HER BACK!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Stew-O: Saori Aizen with a kick out! But, Raven Roberts manages to turn Saori to her stomach before getting a good possession of her arm! RAVEN BEGINS TO APPLY THE ‘WING BREAKER’ – HER VARIATION OF THE FUJIWARA ARMBAR ON ‘THE REAPER!’
Flannery McCoy: BUT, SAORI AIZEN MANAGES TO ROLL RAVEN ROBERTS TO HER BACK! THE CRUCIFIX PIN! IS SAORI GOING TO GET THE WIN FOR HER TEAM HERE?!??!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: NOT QUITE! RAVEN ROBERTS MANAGES TO ROLL BACK INTO POSITION FOR THE ‘WING BREAKER!’ RAVEN IS WRENCHING THE ARM BACK, APPLYING MORE PRESSURE TO THE HOLD! SAORI AIZEN FINDS HERSELF IN SOME TROUBLE AS SHE BEGINS TO CONTEMPLATE WHAT TO EVEN DO HERE!
Stew-O: BUT, DANIELLA ATLAS RACES INTO THE RING TO STOMP ON THE HEAD OF RAVEN ROBERTS! This releases the ‘Wing Breaker’ as Saori Aizen manages to create some distance within herself! BUT, REX MCALLISTER IS NOT GOING TO LET DANIELLA GET AWAY WITH THAT! HE GOES RIGHT AFTER DANIELLA AND CONNECTS WITH A HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE OF THE FORMER SPECIALISTS CHAMPION! THEN, HE PICKS HER UP BEFORE TAKING HER DOWN WITH A CRASH THUNDER BUSTER! DANIELLA ROLLS HERSELF OUT OF THE RING! BUT, REX IS NOT DONE HERE! HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND CONNECTS WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!
Flannery McCoy: No! Daniella Atlas manages to stop Rex McAllister and connects with a knee lift that stops Rex in his tracks! Then, we see Daniella get Rex and connect with a biel throw as she sends him rolling to the barricade across from them! Daniella is showing some crazy strength here! But, Rex is slowly trying to pick himself to his feet, but Daniella charges right after him nailing an ‘Inamorata’ – the lariat! In this case, a running lariat! Rex is down as Daniella manages to head back to her corner where Saori Aizen looks to tag Daniella into the match!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Jake Mercer: Daniella Atlas enters the ring once more! You can see a sinister look on her face as she instructs Saori Aizen to lift up Raven Roberts! Don’t tell me that they’re –
Stew-O: SAORI AIZEN LIFTS UP RAVEN ROBERTS WITH A FLAPJACK AS DANIELLA ATLAS CONNECTS WITH A CUTTER! ‘MELTDOWN’ BY SAORI AND DANIELLA! IT DROPS RAVEN DOWN AS DANIELLA GOES FOR THE COVER! THIS IS ADDING INSULT TO INJURY HERE! THEY’RE REALLY LOOKING TO WIN THIS MATCH BY USING FIRE & ICE’S OWN FINISHER! THIS IS DISGUSTING! NOT LIKE THIS!

Jake Mercer: All the credit to Saori Aizen and Daniella Atlas! Both of them brought the fight to the former Unified Tag Team Champions! Both of them were so confident in thinking that they were going to prove that Fire & Ice were past their prime! But, Fire & Ice have a lot in the tank left!
(The camera pans to Daniella Atlas who holds the back of her head in pain. Slowly, she is regaining consciousness as she looks at Saori Aizen, who is sitting next to her. The two women are more than pissed about the result. They look at Fire & Ice fuming from ringside. Meanwhile, Fire & Ice are celebrating in the ring.)
Stew-O: It was a well-fought and competitive match! Congrats to Fire & Ice!
(Rex and Raven smile, glad that they can maintain their positive record as a tag team together. Daniella and Saori shake their heads in frustration. The final shot shows the couple embraving each other in a hug before Operation: Doomsday fades.)
(A commercial plays for Sims 4: Businesses and Hobbies, featuring Milli Banks, Hans Grayson and Ronan Malosi, wondering why in the fuck is the expansion called ‘Hobbies’ if there are only TWO NEW HOBBIES COMPARED TO WHEN THE SIMS 2 HAD MULTIPLE UP THE FUCKING ASS!!!!!!!!)
(Then again, not the first time that video game from 21 years ago got the Sims 4 wiped down. 🤷)

(The camera returns to the ring where Stephie Love is standing with a microphone in hand as she is ready to begin the introductions for the next matchup.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen! This next contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“Dragonborn” by Jeremy Soule starts playing as the crowd immediately starts cheering and standing on their feet for the appearance of the legendary Brian Daniels. You can look in his eyes and see that he is ready for action as he doesn’t waste a second heading to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first and making his way to the ring! From New York City, New York! Weighing 195 pounds! Here is BRIAN DANIELS!
Stew-O: Here comes Brian Daniels heading to the ring ready for action and this match came about after King of Elite where Brian wanted to make sure this legacy stands strong.
Jake Mercer: Brian is confident in the legacy he wants to create that a few weeks ago on Dynasty he issued an open challenge for anybody on the Dynasty roster to come out and face him at Operation: Doomsday.
Flannery McCoy: Well he certainly got his wish when his challenge was answered by a former champion. Will Brian regret his open challenge with how determined his opposition is to make a name for himself?
(Brian enters the ring and takes his corner and begins warming up for his match as his music is replaced by ‘Lacrimosa [EPIC REMIX]’ by Samuel Kim. Seconds later, Vincent Mondrian enters the arena as the crowd gives him a mixed reaction. Vincent is strictly business as he heads to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing his opponent! Residing in Laren, Netherlands! Weighing in at 205 pounds. Here is “ZERO” VINCENT MONDRIAN!
Jake Mercer: Here comes the man who wasted very little time answering Brian’s open challenge for tonight and things have been heating up in the last few weeks.
Flannery McCoy: A few weeks ago, Vincent and Brian made their presences felt in the other’s matches which led to a backstage brawl between the two last week backstage.
Stew-O: Brian said “don’t try me”. Vincent said “I will try you and I will end you”. Vincent can certainly get the job done, but will his intensity be enough to overcome the experience that Brian has? We are about to find out!
(Vincent enters the ring and takes a neutral corner as his entrance music fades off. Seconds later, the referee checks both competitors before they call for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go! This match is underway and expect this one to be very hard hitting match between these two competitors AS VINCENT COMES RUNNING RIGHT IN FOR THE ATTACK-
Jake Mercer: BRIAN JUST MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AS VINCENT CRASHES HARD INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! Brian doesn’t waste a second as he flips Vincent around AND JUST STARTS FOREARMS INTO VINCENT’S FACE!
Flannery McCoy: Vincent is trying to block the shots as the referee starts a count on Brian which leads to Brian stopping the forearms on four BEFORE SNAPMARING VINCENT OUT OF THE CORNER!
Stew-O: Vincent is sitting on the mat as BRIAN FOLLOWS UP THE SNAPMARE WITH A STRAIGHT KICK TO THE SPINE! VINCENT IS FROZEN FROM THE FORCE OF THE KICK!
Flannery McCoy: There’s plenty more where that came from as Vincent is trying to get back to his feet AS BRIAN GOES FOR A KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD THAT VINCENT DUCKS AT THE LAST SECOND!
Jake Mercer: Brian tries to recover after missing the kick BUT VINCENT CATCHES HIM WITH A QUICK SCHOOLBOY ROLLUP, BUT BRIAN ROLLS THROUGH BEFORE A COUNT CAN BE STARTED!
Stew-O: It’s going to be hard to catch someone as experienced in the ring as Brian Daniels with a rollup, but good on Vincent for trying. Brian is back on his feet first as he goes to bring Vincent back to his feet–
Jake Mercer: VINCENT DROPS DOWN AND CATCHES BRIAN WITH A JAWBREAKER! Brian staggers back after the shot and that gives Vincent plenty of time to get back on his feet AND DELIVERS A CHOP RIGHT TO BRIAN’S CHEST!
Flannery McCoy: Brian eyes widen in pain due to the force that chop had from Vincent, SO OF COURSE VINCENT FOLLOWS IT UP WITH ANOTHER CHOP! No. Nothing exploded. That was just a chop from Vincent Mondrian.
Stew-O: Brian’s chest is turning red from those chops and Vincent grabs Brian AND TAKES HIM UP AND OVER WITH THE SNAP SUPLEX BEFORE FLOATING OVER AND JUST POUNDING AWAY AT BRIAN!
Jake Mercer: The referee is telling Vincent to open up those fists, but naturally, Vincent is still trying to punch Brian’s lights out as the referee has just started a count on Vincent.
Flannery McCoy: Vincent stops the punches on four as he brings Brian back on his feet before kicking him to double him over before hooking his arms and lifting him in the air–
Stew-O: BRIAN BLOCKS IT! Vincent tries to lift him up again, BUT BRIAN BLOCKS IT AGAIN BEFORE HE LIFTS VINCENT IN THE AIR AND COUNTERS WITH A MODIFIED NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! BRIAN BRIDGES UP FOR THE COVER!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWW–
Flannery McCoy: VINCENT KICKS OUT AT ONE! Vincent lets Brian’s arms free to kick out and Brian bridges back up to his feet and puts the boots to the former Interwire Champion who rolls himself to the ropes in order to catch a breather.
Jake Mercer: Brian keeps trying to get at Vincent, but the referee is holding him back. After that fight last week, Brian is out to prove a point that Vincent is going to get an easy victory over him.
Stew-O: Brian keeps trying to get past the referee, BUT THAT GIVES VINCENT A CHANCE TO ATTACK AND HE DOES WITH A VERY CHEAP THUMB TO THE EYE THAT SENDS BRIAN BACK!
Jake Mercer: Vincent didn’t like that counter earlier and he SHOVES past the referee to get in Brian’s face AND VINCENT WITH AN OPEN HANDED SLAP TO THE FACE KNOCKING THE TASTE OUT OF HIS MOUTH!
Flannery McCoy: Vincent said earlier that Brian is not going to treat him like some inexperienced little brother in this match. After that slap, I think it’s safe to say that Brian will NOT be treating Vincent that kindly.
Stew-O: Vincent has a sick smile on his face as Brian gets almost nose to nose with Vincent AND VINCENT JUST SLAPS HIM ACROSS THE FACE AGAIN!
Jake Mercer: I can understand wanting to make a statement, but is it worth it slapping around a competitor with the caliber as Brian Daniels? I don’t think that’s a smart move.
Flannery McCoy: Brian is shaking his head in the same way he did last week after they were pulled apart… almost like in disappointment BEFORE HE RETURNS THE FAVOR!
Stew-O: BRIAN JUST SLAPPED VINCENT BACK! RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE! Vincent can’t believe what Brian just did AND HE THROWS A RIGHT HAND CATCHING HIM IN THE JAW!
Flannery McCoy: BUT BRIAN DOESN’T FALTER! Brian just comes right back AND PUNCHES VINCENT IN HIS JAW! These two are now just throwing haymakers at each other AND NOW WE HAVE A FIST FIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!
Jake Mercer: It didn’t take very long for this match to break down. Vincent wants to beat the hell out of Brian in the very worst way and it would be safe to say that Brian feels the same way.
Stew-O: The referee is trying their hardest to get these two to break it up, but they are using their discretion to not throw this match out and disqualify both these competitors.
Jake Mercer: Yeah because that would make the referee a huge idiot for stopping a fight. Everybody loves a good fight now and then.
Flannery McCoy: That’s what they are seeing right now between these two and the crowd is really getting into this match as it looks like Brian is starting to get the better of this fist fight as he has Vincent against the ropes.
Stew-O: Brian backs up and was attempting to leave his feet BUT VINCENT CAUGHT HIM IN THE FACE WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE JAW STOPPING BRIAN IN HIS TRACKS!
Jake Mercer: Brian takes a few steps back BEFORE RUNNING TOWARDS VINCENT AGAIN! This time Brian is able to leave his feet AND CATCH VINCENT UNDER THE CHIN WITH A HIGH KNEE!
Flannery McCoy: HOLY CRAP! THE FORCE THE KNEE SENT VINCENT OFF OF HIS FEET, OVER THE TOP ROPE, AND RIGHT TO THE FLOOR! Vincent also smacked his face on the edge of the ring when he came down.
Stew-O: But Brian isn’t through. He watches Vincent start recovering on the outside as Brian hits the ropes on the far side as he runs full speed back to the other side of the ring AS HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF THROUGH THE ROPES!
Flannery McCoy: SUICIDE DIVE BY BRIAN AND THAT SENDS VINCENT CRASHING BACK ONTO THE FLOOR! Listen to the crowd! They are behind Brian in this match and really enjoyed seeing that risky move.
Jake Mercer: Brian is back to his feet and he brings up Vincent along with him and THROWS HIM RIGHT INTO THE SIDE OF OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE! HEY!!! BE CAREFUL!
Stew-O: Brian isn’t stopping there as he grabs Vincent AND THIS TIME HE THROWS VINCENT INTO THE BARRICADE! Now Brian grabs Vincent back to his feet one more time AND NOW HE THROWS VINCENT INTO THE RING STEPS!
Jake Mercer: Vincent tried to take a cheap shot last week and Brian is showing what happens when you try to pull a stunt like that. Brian brings Vincent to his feet and rolls him back into the ring.
Flannery McCoy: Brian quickly follows suit in order to break the referee’s count that has been going on. Brian keeps rolling Vincent towards the center of the ring and hooks the leg for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHH
Stew-O: VINCENT KICKS OUT AT TWO! Brian is now looking to do more damage to Vincent’s back as he drives his knee into his spine while bending his arms back. Almost a submission move, but it looks more like it’s torturing Vincent!
Jake Mercer: Vincent might lack experience compared to Brian, but he does have the size advantage against him as Vincent is able to get back to his feet AS HE SNAPS BRIAN OVER AND SENDS HIM BACK FIRST ONTO THE MAT!
Flannery McCoy: Brian is back to his feet as Vincent ducks the clothesline attempt. Vincent gets the waistlock AND LIFTS BRIAN UP AND OVER FOR THE GERMAN SUPLEX! BRIAN CRASHES HARD ON THE MAT!
Stew-O: Brian rolls onto his stomach off the suplex AND VINCENT JUST SLAPPED BRIAN IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD! OH COME ON! HOW DISRESPECTFUL CAN YOU BE?
Flannery McCoy: Vincent made it clear that he wanted to make Brian pay in the worst way possible, so I guess trying to demean him is part of his strategy AND HE SLAPS BRIAN IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD AGAIN!
Jake Mercer: Vincent is starting to build up momentum and confidence with each slap as Vincent hits the ropes. Brian is back on his feet as Vincent comes back AND HE KICKS BRIAN RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH A RUNNING YAKUZA KICK!
Stew-O: Brian was sent back from the force of the boot and that sends him to the ropes AND VINCENT COMES BACK AND CLOTHESLINES BRIAN OVER THE TOP ROPE–
Jake Mercer: BRIAN LANDS ON THE APRON! Vincent grabs Brian around the neck to bring him back in the ring for a suplex, BUT BRIAN DROPS DOWN AND BRINGS VINCENT’S NECK ACROSS THE TOP ROPE!
Flannery McCoy: Vincent comes running towards Brian, but BRIAN WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD DAZES VINCENT LONG ENOUGH FOR BRIAN TO CLIMB THE TURNBUCKLE!
Stew-O: Brian is on the top rope AND IMMEDIATELY JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND DELIVERS A MISSILE DROPKICK THAT TURNS VINCENT INSIDE OUT! Vincent was sent to the ropes and he rolled out of the ring!
Jake Mercer: Brian doesn’t wanna risk going high risk once again so he quickly follows Vincent out of the ring and he runs right towards Vincent–
Flannery McCoy: VINCENT WAS PLAYING POSSUM AS HE LIFTS BRIAN UP AND OVER WITH THE BACK BODY DROP AND HE SENDS BRIAN FLYING BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE!
Stew-O: THAT WAS AN UGLY LANDING WITH BRIAN ALMOST LANDING ON HIS NECK! Vincent is just as proud as he can be after almost breaking Brian’s neck.
Flannery McCoy: Vincent doesn’t care. He wants to win at all costs as he grabs him by the back of the neck like a cat and drags him towards the ring before bringing him onto his feet. Brian doesn’t have a chance to get his bearings–
Jake Mercer: BEFORE VINCENT SHOVES HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST! DID YOU HEAR THAT THUD WHEN BRIAN’S HEAD HIT THE STEEL POST? Brian stumbles over and falls onto the ring steps in order to prevent himself from hitting the floor.
Stew-O: Brian is trying to catch his breath and get his wits about him as VINCENT DELIVERS A LEG DROP ACROSS THE BACK OF BRIAN’S NECK! VINCENT IS OUT FOR BLOOD AND MAYBE BRIAN’S ENTIRE LIFE AS A WHOLE!
Jake Mercer: Vincent didn’t come out of that move unscathed as the leg drop was done onto the ring steps and Vincent is feeling that move as he slowly moves off the steps and goes to roll Brian in the ring.
Flannery McCoy: We hear another count coming from the referee as Vincent slowly rolls into the ring to break the count. Vincent grabs Brian and brings him to his feet before LIFTING HIM UP AND DROPPING HIM WITH THE MICHINOKU DRIVER!
Stew-O: BRIAN WAS DROPPED ON HIS HEAD AS VINCENT KEEPS HOLD OF BRIAN’S LEG AND KEEPS IT HOOKED FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE-
Jake Mercer: BRIAN IS ABLE TO KICK OUT AT TWO! Vincent shoots a glare at the referee, but surprisingly, the referee is holding their ground and telling Vincent that it was only a two count.
Flannery McCoy: Vincent grabs Brian and goes to whip him to the ropes, BUT BRIAN SOMEHOW IS ABLE TO REVERSE THE WHIP AND SEND VINCENT FOR THE RIDE!
Stew-O: Vincent comes back off the ropes and Brian puts his head down for a back body drop AND VINCENT STOPS IN HIS TRACKS AND JUST KICKS BRIAN RIGHT IN THE FACE! Brian goes flying back from the force of the kick.
Flannery McCoy: Vincent grabs Brian by the head and lifts him up in the air! The blood rushes to Brian’s head BEFORE VINCENT DROPS HIM WITH A DELAYED SUPLEX! THAT ALMOST LOOKED LIKE A BRAINBUSTER!
Jake Mercer: Brian was almost dropped right on the top of his head and Vincent changed his attack by grabbing Brian by the legs and ROLLING HIM OVER AND PUTTING HIM RIGHT INTO A BOSTON CRAB!
Stew-O: SUBMISSION HOLD APPLIED AND THE REFEREE IS RIGHT THERE TO SEE IF BRIAN WANTS TO GIVE IT UP! IF BRIAN GIVES IT UP, VINCENT WINS THE MATCH!
Jake Mercer: We all know that with how Brian has been wanting to put an exclamation point on his legacy and submitting here will not put the exclamation point that he wants, but Vincent has that Boston Crab locked in deep.
Flannery McCoy: Vincent trying to weaken Brian’s back even more after the punishment from earlier as BRIAN IS TRYING TO CRAWL HIS WAY TO THE ROPES AND HE IS ALREADY ABOUT A FOOT AWAY!
Stew-O: Vincent made a mistake by not pulling Brian back towards the center of the ring when he applied the submission, BUT HE IS MAKING UP FOR IT NOW BY DRAGGING BRIAN FROM THE ROPES!
Jake Mercer: Brian is back in the center of the ring and Vincent steps further back and that puts an even worse torque on Brian’s back. The referee is still there asking Brian if he wants to give up.
Flannery McCoy: Brian has a look of fire in his eyes, whether it be him wanting to get out of the submission or whether it be because of the referee driving him insane with asking him if he wants to give up the match, something is lighting a fire under Brian.
Stew-O: LOOK AT BRIAN! BRIAN IS STILL SCRATCHING AND CLAWING TO GET HIMSELF TOWARDS THE ROPES! INCH BY INCH, BRIAN IS GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE ROPES UNTIL HE GETS BACK TO WHERE HE WAS JUST A MOMENT AGO!
Flannery McCoy: BRIAN IS ABOUT A FOOT AWAY FROM THE ROPES AND BRIAN’S BACK IS STILL IN HORRIBLE POSITION UNTIL HE MAKES A LUNGE FOR THE ROPES–
Jake Mercer: HE GOT THE ROPES! Vincent has to break the hold, BUT HE IS NOT DOING IT! HE KEEPS THE BOSTON CRAB ON A LITTLE LONGER UNTIL THE REFEREE STARTS A COUNT!
Stew-O: NOW VINCENT RELEASES THE SUBMISSION AS BRIAN ROLLS TO THE APRON! Vincent’s vicious streak almost cost him as he was less than a second away from being disqualified.
Jake Mercer: It seems like the longer this match goes and the longer that it takes Vincent to put Brian away, the more that frustration builds up within Vincent AND VINCENT STARTS PUNCHING BRIAN RIGHT IN THE HEAD!
Flannery McCoy: First he tries to break his neck. Then he tries to break his back. Now he’s trying to give Brian a concussion. The referee is once again admonishing Vincent about the closed fists before starting a count.
Stew-O: Vincent once again stops on four and the referee is giving Vincent a look to let Vincent know that he is pushing his look and really risking disqualification in this match, but I don’t think the fans would let the referee hear the end of it unless this match ends with a pinfall or submission.
Jake Mercer: That interaction with the referee is giving Brian even more time to recover as he gets back to his feet. Vincent turns around AS BRIAN RUNS IN AND TAKES VINCENT DOWN WITH RUNNING LEG LARIAT!
Flannery McCoy: Vincent crashes hard to the mat as he gets back to his feet AND BRIAN COMES BACK WITH A DISCUS FOREARM TO THE FACE THAT SENDS VINCENT BACK TO THE ROPES!
Stew-O: Brian grabs Vincent and whips him to the corner as Vincent lands hard in the corner as Brian comes running into the corner AND CATCHES VINCENT IN THE FACE WITH “STARKILLER”!
Flannery McCoy: BIG BOOT TO THE FACE HAS VINCENT STUMBLING OUT OF THE CORNER! Brian turns Vincent around and locks his arms up AS HE LIFTS VINCENT UP FOR THE TIGER SUPLEX!
Jake Mercer: VINCENT CRASHES HARD ONTO THE MAT AS BRIAN KEEPS THE ARMS LOCKED AND HE BRIDGES UP FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: VINCENT KICKS OUT AT TWO! I think that part of that was due to some of the damage that Boston Crab from earlier so he couldn’t keep the bridge up the way he wanted.
Jake Mercer: If that is the case, we will never know, Stew. Brian has the experience to hide any pain or weakness as long as necessary. Brian is back on his feet first as he grabs Vincent AND TAKES HIM UP AND OVER WITH A SNAP SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: Brian floats over for another cover attempt, BUT VINCENT BRIDGES UP BEFORE A COUNT COULD BE STARTED! Brian tries to send Vincent back to the mat–
Stew-O: VINCENT WITH A KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD BACKING BRIAN OFF! Vincent is getting back to his feet. BRIAN GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE, BUT VINCENT CATCHES THE ARM!
Jake Mercer: Vincent pulls Brian in AND LIFTS HIM UP IN THE AIR BEFORE DRIVING HIM DOWN AND ALMOST THROUGH THE RING WITH THE “BIG BANG ATTACK”! DIRECT HIT WITH THE SPINEBUSTER AND BOTH MEN ARE DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: The referee is checking on both competitors to see if they both can continue. It looks like they both can AND THE REFEREE IS LEFT WITH NO CHOICE BUT TO START A COUNT!
Stew-O: AND THE CROWD DOESN’T LIKE THAT AT ALL! THE CROWD IS BOOING THE COUNT! Again, the crowd will only be satisfied with a definitive victory.
Flannery McCoy: Listen to the crowd clap and try to will Brian… and possibly even Vincent as well… back into this match as both men are starting to move and try to get back to their feet.
Jake Mercer: The referee’s count is still going on in the background as it looks to be a race to see if Brian or Vincent will get to their feet first. Hell, I am usually not the first person to say this, but this has been a hell of a match.
Stew-O: No. You’re not. But I will agree that this has been a hell of a fight between these two like we knew it was going to be. I still don’t think it’s anywhere near close to being done. We are going to see these two continue to beat the bell out of each other.
Jake Mercer: Voltage and Showdown wish that they could have matches like this. I can just sense the jealousy the other two brands have towards us.
Flannery McCoy: The referee has reached 8 on the count AND WE SEE THAT VINCENT HAS BROKE THE COUNT! Vincent is back on his feet as we now hear the referee reach nine. Will Brian beat the count–
Stew-O: HE DID IT! BRIAN BARELY BEATS THE COUNT! Both men are on opposite sides of the ring just glaring at each other as they walk right back towards the center of the ring. Vincent is running his mouth and Brian is just letting him–
Jake Mercer: BRIAN WITH A RIGHT HOOK RIGHT TO VINCENT’S MOUTH! THAT SHUT VINCENT UP VERY QUICKLY… AND VINCENT IS SMILING! I really don’t think that Vincent is playing with a full deck.
Flannery McCoy: Vincent is still smiling and we can see that Vincent’s mouth is bleeding off of that punch. It’s almost like he enjoyed it… WHAT THE HELL?
Stew-O: He’s pointing at his face. VINCENT JUST YELLED AT BRIAN TO PUNCH HIM AGAIN! Brian certainly doesn’t have to be asked twice AND BRIAN PUNCHES VINCENT IN THE JAW AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: That punch had more behind it than the first one AND VINCENT COMES RIGHT BACK AND PUNCHES BRIAN IN THE JAW! Brian staggered back as well AS BOTH MEN GO FOR PUNCHES TO THE FACE!
Jake Mercer: They both connect AND WE HAVE ANOTHER FIST FIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! THESE TWO WANT TO BRUTALLY BEAT THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER IN THE VERY WORST WAY POSSIBLE!
Stew-O: This match has broken down once again and this time the referee is just stepping back and letting them just slug it out and fight. That might be the only choice the referee has at this point.
Jake Mercer: VINCENT WITH A CHEAP KICK TO THE KNEE THAT TAKES BRIAN DOWN! That gives Vincent a golden opportunity to capitalize on the cheap shot as he grabs Brian and hoists him onto his shoulder.
Flannery McCoy: Vincent has Brian on his shoulder as he looks to take Brian down with a powerslam, BUT VINCENT JUST DROPS DOWN–
Stew-O: THAT’S “REIRYOKU”! FIRE THUNDER DRIVER BY THE FORMER INTERWIRE CHAMPION AND THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION WAS SPIKED RIGHT ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD!
Jake Mercer: Brian might have just been knocked unconscious off the piledriver as Vincent rolls him over and hooks the leg for the cover! This could do it right here!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!
Flannery McCoy: NEAR FALL FOR VINCENT! BRIAN BARELY GOT HIS SHOULDER UP AS THE REFEREE WAS COMING DOWN FOR THE THREE COUNT AND THIS MATCH CONTINUES!
Stew-O: Vincent can’t believe it! He thought he had the victory right there and he was once again glaring at the referee wondering why they were doing a slow count.
Flannery McCoy: The referee once again explains to Vincent that it was once again only a two count and it looks like Vincent might beat the hell out of the referee as well. Vincent needs to keep his temper in check if he wants to win this match.
Jake Mercer: Vincent wants to completely annihilate Brian to further prove that the best is yet to come from the up and coming Elitist, especially by beating a former World Champion. Speaking of Brian, he is starting to come around and get back on his feet.
Stew-O: But Vincent grabs Brian by the neck and lets out a battle cry BEFORE HE JUMPS IN THE AIR AND TRIES TO SPIKE BRIAN WITH THE LEAPING DDT–
Jake Mercer: VINCENT GETS IN THE AIR AND IN A LAST DITCH EFFORT, BRIAN SHOVES VINCENT OFF OF HIM AND VINCENT CRASHES CHEST FIRST ONTO THE MAT!
Flannery McCoy: Not a pretty landing for Vincent as he tries to recover, BUT HERE COMES BRIAN AS HE RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND CATCHES VINCENT RIGHT IN THE MOUTH WITH “VALAR MORGHULIS”!
Stew-O: HIGH KNEE RIGHT TO THE FACE AND THAT KNEE COULD HAVE BROKEN VINCENT’S NOSE AS BRIAN SHOVES VINCENT DOWN AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: VINCENT GOT THE SHOULDER UP! HOLY CRAP THAT WAS A VERY CLOSE NEAR FALL! Honestly, you have to give Vincent a lot of credit for taking it right to Brian and for lasting this long in the match up.
Flannery McCoy: You would have to think that Brian is maybe starting to wonder what in the world he has to do in order to put Vincent away. Maybe this is Vincent’s night. Maybe Vincent is going to prove that he isn’t a shot in the pan Elitist.
Stew-O: Not that he was in the first place, but his mouth certainly doesn’t help things as Brian has made it back to his feet and he is calling for Vincent to do the same, but who knows how long that will be.
Flannery McCoy: Vincent had his lights dimmed after that knee to the face, but give him credit for still fighting. Vincent has rolled over to the ropes to help him get back to his feet AND HERE COMES BRIAN!
Jake Mercer: BRIAN CAUGHT VINCENT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A BACKFIST AND NOW BRIAN IS JUST UNLOADING ON VINCENT WITH AN ARRAY OF SHOTS!
Stew-O: BRIAN CALLS THAT “DRAGON SHOUT” AND VINCENT IS LOOKING TO BE ON DREAM STREET RIGHT NOW WITH THE KICKS AND FOREARM JUST HITTING HIM FROM ALL DIRECTIONS–
Jake Mercer: VINCENT DUCKS A SHOT AND HE GRABS BRIAN BY THE THROAT AND LIFTS HIM RIGHT INTO THE CHOKESLAM STYLE BACKBREAKER!
Flannery McCoy: Brian took more damage to the back as Vincent lifts him up by the throat and threw him to the corner. Brian hits the turnbuckles hard AS VINCENT BACKS UP AND COMES RUNNING IN AT FULL SPEED TOWARDS BRIAN—
Stew-O: BRIAN WAS STRUCK BY THE “GALICK GUN” BY VINCENT MONDRIAN! HELLUVA KICK HIT BRIAN RIGHT IN THE FACE! SOMEBODY MIGHT BE CALLING THE COPYRIGHT DEPARTMENT VERY SOON AS VINCENT PULLS BRIAN TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! BRIAN MIGHT BE DONE AS VINCENT HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: BRIAN STILL KICKS OUT AT TWO! HOLY CRAP THAT WAS CLOSE AND VINCENT IS FED UP WITH THIS! Vincent has brought Brian back to his feet and pulls Brian in for a German Suplex–
Flannery McCoy: BRIAN WITH A BACKHAND GETS HIM FREE OF THE WAISTLOCK! Brian reaches back and grabs Vincent by the head as he gets in position BEFORE HE JUMPS UP AND FLIPS BACK FOR THE “SKYWALKER”! THE SHIRANUI ON ITS WAY–
Stew-O: Vincent is able to block the Skywalker by simply pushing Brian off of him, but Brian is able to stay on his feet. Brian goes for the waistlock for what could be a German suplex, BUT VINCENT GETS FREE AND CATCHES BRIAN WITH A DISCUS FOREARM TO THE FACE!
Flannery McCoy: Brian is dazed off of that forearm and Vincent spins him around AND GRABS HIM AROUND THE THROAT! VINCENT IS LOOKING FOR THE “FINAL EXPLOSION”! IF HE CAN GET BRIAN DOWN TO THE MAT THIS MATCH IS OVER!
Jake Mercer: BUT BRIAN IS FIGHTING IT OFF AS WELL AS HE CAN! BRIAN IS TRYING TO KEEP VINCENT FROM BRINGING HIM DOWN FULLY INTO THAT COQUINA CLUTCH SUBMISSION!
Stew-O: VINCENT IS TRYING TO FULLY LOCK IN THAT COQUINA CLUTCH, BUT BRIAN IS FIGHTING TO KEEP THE SUBMISSION OFF OF HIM AS WELL AS STAY ON HIS FEET! HE MANAGES TO DO THAT AS HE GRABS VINCENT BY THE WRISTS AND FLIPS HIM OVER WITH A MODIFIED SNAPMARE TAKING VINCENT TO THE MAT!
Jake Mercer: Vincent gets back to his feet after the snapmare and as soon as he turns to face Brian, BRIAN SPINS AROUND AND VINCENT WALKS RIGHT INTO THE “CAUSTIC ECHO” FROM BRIAN!
Flannery McCoy: DAMN! THAT ROUNDHOUSE KICK CAUGHT VINCENT RIGHT ON THE TEMPLE! RIGHT ON THE MONEY! THAT LOOKED LIKE A KNOCKOUT SHOT AS VINCENT FALLS TO THE MAT! BRIAN DROPS DOWN AND ROLLS VINCENT OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Dragonborn starts playing again as the crowd starts cheering for Brian as he rolls off of Vincent. Brian is sitting on the mat getting his bearings as Stephie Love announces the final decision of the match.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… BRIAN DANIELS!
Stew-O: What a match! Both men went into this match with one mission in mind. Unfortunately, only one mission would be accomplished and it was the mission of Brian Daniels.
Flannery McCoy: Brian said he wanted to prove that he is still a fighting competitor and do anything to keep his legacy in a positive light and that’s exactly what he did.
Jake Mercer: A perfectly timed kick to the head doesn’t hurt either. The expert kicks of Brian caught Vincent right on the button and put him down. With this victory, who knows what the next step for Brian is. All I can say is that Dynasty had better be careful.
(Brian makes it back to his feet as the referee raises his arm in victory before the referee goes to check on Vincent. Brian takes a few moments to celebrate his victory in the ring before he leaves and heads up the entrance ramp.)
Flannery McCoy: With all the praise to Brian, we have to give a lot of props to Vincent Mondrian. He gave Brian back everything Brian gave and more. Vincent was close to winning this match a few times, but it unfortunately wasn’t meant to be.
Jake Mercer: It sucks, but even in this defeat, Vincent showed that he can certainly keep up with some of the best that Dynasty and EAW as a whole have to offer. It will be interesting to see what Vincent will do next.
Stew-O: There will be another day for the tough and hard hitting Vincent Mondrian, but this match belongs to the veteran Brian Daniels. Congratulations again to Brian for the victory here tonight at Operation: Doomsday.
(The final shot shows Brian standing at the top of the entrance ramp soaking in the applause and the feeling of victory before cutting to Vincent, who is angrily looking up the entrance ramp and pounding the mat in frustration before the camera fades elsewhere.)

Stephie Love: The following contest… IS FOR THE EAW WORLDDDDD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP, SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘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, taking a deep breath as she keeps her gaze steady on the ring as she is ready to make history.)
Stephie Love: Introducing the challenger! 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 been able to emerge from the troubles against Drake King as the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship, and now she is looking to an immense match here. Joso will have quite the opponent here, because Minerva has never been more confident than the outing that’s presented tonight.
Flannery McCoy: After everything that Minerva has been through, this is her opportunity to seek out this redemption she’s been chasing while also making history! Minerva is focused, not refraining from doing what she must with her own abilities to continue on her ascent as not just the next World Champion from here, but the first-ever female World Heavyweight Champion!
(‘2024’ by Playboi Carti can be heard blaring throughout the speakers as the audience immediately roars with adoration & applause. Joso emerges from the back with confidence oozing from his presence, the World Heavyweight Championship around his waist & well prepared as he gazes upon the ring ahead to the ring while walking down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing the champion! From Bronx, New York, weighing in at 206 pounds…. HE IS THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION… JOOOOOOOOOOOOOSOOOOO!!!
Stew-O: Joso has been able to surmount as much of the opposition as he could so far, but this is entirely different now! Now he has the opportunity to defeat another one of the all time greats through an EAW Hall of Famer who has remained one of the most prominent faces of EAW for several years! The pressure is certainly on, but Joso will certainly face this pressure in full as he has throughout his reign as World Heavyweight Champion!
Jake Mercer: Joso has made no secret about how he feels, understanding the history at stake but also looking to make his own history as well! Of course, this will be a very difficult task to accomplish when his reign may very well end here at the hands of Minerva! But he looks to prove without a shadow of a doubt how he is representing this New Era as the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, which will be determined RIGHT NOW!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: AND WE’RE OFF! WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP ON THE LINE! JOSO DEFENDING AGAINST MINERVA! Will history be made tonight, or will the reign continue??? We will finally have the answers for all of these questions as Joso & Minerva glare toward one another. From corner to corner, the audience is absolutely electric tonight for this world championship match as this is a title match with all of the implications possible! Joso may be able to make all of the good on a third defense of the World Heavyweight Championship, but Minerva stands before him as perhaps the greatest threat to his reign yet!
Flannery McCoy: The two elitists begin to circle the ring, as they’re looking for any advantage that they can possibly garner here! Joso is moving rather quickly, trying to see if there’s an avenue where he can gain a sizable feat of strength here while Minerva is more than capable of keeping her own ground maintained as well! Not before long ‘till the two decide to engage right here in a collar & elbow tie-up!! Both elitists are looking to push the other backward as this can make a world’s difference, this World Heavyweight Championship match can truly change direction with any maneuver made on both ends here!
Jake Mercer: As Joso is finding all the ground, able to slowly but surely push Minerva back & directly into the ropes! The referee will now have to count down here, as Joso is trying to keep Minerva at bay for about as long as he would like to, but he makes sure to let go & keep his hands raised while backing away! Minerva is now given room to move herself away—BUT MINERVA WRAPS AN ARM AROUND JOSO & GETS THE HEADLOCK APPLIED! Joso’s been yanked directly into that headlock as Minerva is far more interested in taking advantage and gaining the edge over the champion!
Stew-O: As she’s keeping the headlock applied, all the while throwing brief punches across the skull of Joso as she does so! Minerva is refusing to allow the pace of this match to benefit Joso in any regard, trying to keep Joso far more grounded as she’s now sinking her own body weight downward to drop Joso to a knee! Minerva just continues to wrench this arm around Joso’s neck to keep him from mounting up any ounce of control—BUT JOSO IS ABLE TO HOIST MINERVA UPWARD & DROP HER WITH A BACK SUPLEX!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT MINERVA MAINTAINS THE HEADLOCK! Joso may have turned the start of this match for the worse in his regard, as now Minerva is wrenching her arm further around his neck as Joso has sent himself into a prone position! Minerva shakes her head continuously as she only allows for a wince to escape her expression following the back suplex, otherwise she has been able to keep this match regulated to a standstill that Joso is struggling to get himself out of!
Jake Mercer: Which is changing rather quickly as Joso is now able to rise back up to a knee, and he opts to not aim for the suplex again & prefers leaning Minerva into the ropes, using the momentum to push her forward and cause the release of the headlock! Joso shakes off the pressure before dropping down to the prone position as Minerva leaps herself over!!! Followed up by the challenger continuing to run those ropes as Joso is now rising back up and initiating the leap frog—
Stew-O: BUT MINERVA LEAPS ONTO JOSO WITH A LOU THESZ PRESS!! JOSO IS CAUGHT BY SURPRISE AS MINERVA IS NOW MOUNTING THE PUNCHES RIGHT ONTO THE CHAMPION! Joso is trying to shield himself to the best of his ability as Minerva is laying in each punch with as much force as she can to keep the World Heavyweight Champion from finding any suitable ground for himself after he couldn’t evade her for long!
Flannery McCoy: Joso is able to push Minerva off, now rushing himself over to the nearest corner of the ring in order to recoup quickly! Minerva nods to herself as she’s quick to come back to a stance with Joso pulling himself up using the ropes as Minerva will have to maintain control and keep him from coming back in this match!!
Jake Mercer: As Minerva doesn’t refrain from rushing forward directly toward Joso AND LOOKING FOR A CLOTHESLINE IN THE CORNER—BUT JOSO DUCKS & ROLLS THROUGH! Minerva misses the clothesline as she’s turning herself back around to face Joso here.. BUT A STIFF RIGHT FROM JOSO! Now Joso is laying in each right across Minerva’s jaw to keep her at bay! No room being given to her as the World Champion refuses to let up from here! Now Joso doesn’t waste time pulling Minerva forward, as he’s just caught her into the next maneuver!
Stew-O: ‘CAUSE THE BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX FOLLOWS THROUGH!! Joso is able to utilize his strength while Minerva finds herself immediately sitting upward on the mat, feeling the jolt of being dropped on the canvas but not nearly enough to keep her down for an extended period of time! Joso’s not considering the thought of a pin attempt as he doesn’t waste his own time, now getting his arms wrapped around Minerva from behind AS HE LOOKS TO INITIATE THE DRAGON SUPLEX—
Flannery McCoy: BUT MINERVA SQUIRMS FREE—WITH A SUDDEN BACK ELBOW SPRAWLING ACROSS JOSO’S TEMPLE! The back elbow rocks Joso considerably as he’s forced to back himself away, hand on his own head while Minerva proceeds to take a hold of Joso’s wrist here, not allowing him to stray away from herself by any means as she’s now pulled him DIRECTLY INTO THE SHORT-ARM CLOTHESLINE! Joso is dropped as he’s now been caught in a bad place here by Minerva!
Jake Mercer: Minerva is making sure that the path she goes with this match best supports her, and this is being realized as Joso is trying to keep himself conscious enough to stay in the match! Now the challenger is able to drag Joso upward, and she’s sending repeated punches across the jaw of Joso to keep him at bay! Backing him into the ropes as she’s continuing to apply pressure to the best of her ability with each of these punches that are being sent sprawling toward him!
Stew-O: But not for long! Joso sends a stiff elbow across the jaw of Minerva as that’s enough to make her back away!! Joso is recouping himself very quickly as he’s now able to rush toward her with a swift clothesline—but Minerva ducks as Joso has to run the ropes!! Now rushing toward Minerva as HE iS LIFTED UPWARD BY MINERVA FOR A SWIFT SPINEBUSTER—
Flannery McCoy: SUDDEN DDT FROM JOSO AS MINERVA IS SPIKED RIGHT OVER HER OWN HEAD!! Joso was able to shift all of the momentum from the attempted spinebuster by Minerva into a DDT that causes Minerva to clutch onto her head after being sent downward! Now Joso is bringing himself back up, as Minerva is still keeping herself mobile enough to back into the corner!
Jake Mercer: BUT JOSO IS SENDING REPEATED KNEES ACROSS THE ABDOMEN OF MINERVA! The referee is warning Joso as Joso has been able to keep his opponent at bay here, with no room for wasting time as Joso is able to irish whip Minerva toward the opposite corner! Now rushing forward as he’s looking to keep Minerva suppressed WITH A LEAPING FOREARM—
Stew-O: MINERVA CAUGHT HIM WHILE EMERGING FROM THE CORNER! JOSO IS CAUGHT AS MINERVA GOT JOSO HOISTED UP—BEFORE PLANTING THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION DOWN WITH A SPINEBUSTER!!! Minerva’s fear of strength is shown in full there as she’s quick to hook the leg for the cover!! Joso’s down!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWO—
Flannery McCoy: NOT ENOUGH! KICK OUT FROM JOSO! Minerva begins to nod to herself as she’s sitting up, with a slight grin on her face as this match has shifted to her control! Now she’s working diligently to drag Joso over to the nearest ropes, setting Joso directly over the ropes with his upper body set against it! This may not pan out all too well for the champion here, as Minerva is deliberate with where she’s leaving Joso as well!
Jake Mercer: AS MINERVA IS SENDING REPEATED STOMPS AGAINST THE BACK OF JOSO’S NECK! SHE CLUTCHES ONTO THE ROPES WHILE STOMPING DOWN AS EACH STOMP IS GIVEN MORE IMPACT THAN THE LAST! Joso is being driven into the middle rope with each stomp as well!! The referee is counting down as the challenger will have to back away at some point!
Stew-O: Minerva does back away from Joso before the count of five could go through—ONLY TO RUSH THE ROPES & BACK TOWARD JOSO WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK DIRECTLY ONTO THE BACK OF HIS NECK!!! Joso’s immediately clutching onto the back of his neck while coughing up a storm as well! Minerva doesn’t waste time as she’s dragging Joso back over to the middle of the ring and hooking the leg!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOO!!!
Flannery McCoy: STILL NOTHING THERE! Joso is kicking out without anything left in the way as Minerva is understanding there’s plenty of fight, but that’s exactly what she expects! Minerva is continuously nodding to herself as she now moves back up! Joso is trying to keep himself mobile enough as he doesn’t stay down on the canvas for long!
Jake Mercer: As Minerva is now keeping a hold of Joso, pulling him upward and into position as she’s got the champ’ in position here! This can continue to benefit Minerva for about as long as the pace needs to in order to become the new World Heavyweight Champion, now looking to hook Joso’s leg closely in order to HOIST HIM UP FOR THE FISHERMAN’S SUPLEX—
Stew-O: JOSO SUDDENLY BOLSTERS ENERGY TO CONNECT WITH A SNAP VERTICAL SUPLEX!!! Minerva is brought down with the suplex as Joso doesn’t let go! He maintains the hold that he has on Minerva as he turns himself & his opponent around, moving back up to their respective feet as Joso has got Minerva continuously held past the vertical suplex before HOISTING HER UPWARD!
Flannery McCoy: FOR A GOURDBUSTER ONTO THE TOP ROPE!!! MINERVA GETS THE LITERAL WIND KNOCKED OUT OF HER AS SHE COLLAPSES BACK DOWN ONTO THE MAT! Joso rushes himself over and hooks the leg here, Minerva’s down!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWO—
Jake Mercer: MINERVA WITH THE SHOULDER UP! Joso is sitting up, trying to recover a bit more effectively as he can while Minerva is trying to emerge back up to her feet after being taken through back to back maneuvers in order to be put down! Minerva’s clutching onto the rope to drag herself up here—BUT JOSO WITH A FOREARM ACROSS THE BACK OF HER NECK! Minerva is backed into the ropes once more, but not for long as Joso grabs a hold of her wrist and yanks her away!
Stew-O: AS HE SENDS A SUPERKICK SPRAWLING ACROSS HER JAW WHILE HOLDING ONTO HER WRIST!! Minerva drops down to the mat, as Joso is now dishing out a similar amount of offense to what Minerva gave him earlier BY STOMPING DOWN RIGHT ONTO HER UPPER CHEST! Minerva is being kept from ever having the second to retort as each stomp from Joso is applying more pressure, more impact behind the boot that’s caving into Minerva without a second thought! The World Heavyweight Champion is doing everything that he can to not allow the challenger this necessary room!
Flannery McCoy: As Joso kept this hold of Minerva’s wrist, pulling her toward him as he’s now got a hold of her DIRECTLY FOR THE BELLY TO BELLY—BUT MINERVA WITH AN ELBOW OVER JOSO’S SKULL! AND ANOTHER!! Joso is forced to let go!! Minerva remains on her feet as Minerva’s able to shake off the pressure for a moment, just before running toward Joso & looking for a CLOTHESLINE—
Jake Mercer: JOSO TURNS MINERVA’S CLOTHESLINE INTO A CROSS ARMBAR! HE MANAGED TO REROUTE HER MOMENTUM INTO THE ARMBAR BY FLIPPING HER OVER AND ONTO THE MAT!!! Minerva is shaking her own head vigorously as Joso is trying to maintain this cross armbar for as long as he can, looking to wear down Minerva and keep her from coming back in this match!
Stew-O: AS MINERVA’S ABLE TO SHIFT HER OWN WEIGHT UPWARD AND OVER JOSO! HIS SHOULDERS ARE DOWN ON THE MAT AS THE REFEREE RUSHES HIMSELF DIRECTLY TO THE PIN FROM MINERVA HERE!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: T—
Flannery McCoy: JOSO LETS GO TO ESCAPE THE PIN ATTEMPT! Minerva is able to free herself as Joso’s emerging back up to his feet while Minerva’s getting herself up as well, now focusing in on Minerva as he’s looking to NAIL A ROUNDHOUSE—
Jake Mercer: ‘TILL MINERVA DUCKS THE ROUNDHOUSE—AND SENDS A SIDE KICK RIGHT ACROSS JOSO’S MIDSECTION! Joso is sent stumbling into the ropes as he’s now rebounding forward, with Minerva aiming to put him down with another BOOT—
Stew-O: BUT A SUDDEN SLINGBLADE FROM JOSO IS ENOUGH TO SEND MINERVA FOR A SPIRAL BACK DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS! Minerva’s rocked as the back of her head collided with the mat in the process, as Joso is clutching onto his own midsection while rising back up to his feet as Minerva is trying to keep herself together here.. BUT UNABLE TO ASSUME ANY STANCE THAT STOPS THE RUNNING SHOOTING STAR PRESS FROM JOSO! Joso maintains the cover here as the referee is now looking for the count!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: T—
Flannery McCoy: NOTHING THERE! KICK OUT FROM AN EMPHATIC MINERVA! Joso is shaking his head as he’s seeing this will become a bigger problem the longer the match rolls on! Minerva is able to keep the tides from affecting her for as long as she needs to remain on the pursuit, and in a match for the World Heavyweight Championship?? She’s going to remain as resilient as ever!
Jake Mercer: Which Joso very much is capable of taking note of, as he’s now dragging Minerva upward and looking to continue to send any message that he possibly can! Breaking down his challenger by every maneuver that he can garner is exactly what he needs to do! Now Joso’s looking to put Minerva down far more emphatically as he’s calling for hoisting Minerva into position for the ‘CRIMSON PEAK’—
Stew-O: BUT MINERVA WITH A KICK ACROSS JOSO’S SKULL! AND ANOTHER! AND A THIRD FINALLY FORCES JOSO TO LET GO—AS MINERVA HAS JOSO HOISTED OVER HER SHOULDERS BEFORE USING ALL OF HER ENERGY TO BRING HIM BACK DOWN WITH THE ALABAMA SLAM! Joso’s grasping onto the back of his neck again after the maneuver is able to go through! This can turn the match around significantly for Minerva!!
Flannery McCoy: Minerva is now backing herself away and leaning against the ropes, recovering all of the energy that she can after the Alabama Slam went through! Joso is trying to bring himself back up, as the challenger is looking to take advantage before he can muster any room to stand as SHE’S RUSHING FORWARD FOR A ‘DEVIL’S TOUCH’ ACROSS THE JAW—
Jake Mercer: BUT JOSO DODGES THE KICK EVER SLIGHTLY & IS ABLE TO HOIST MINERVA UPWARD & OVER HER SHOULDERS!!! HE’S TRYING TO GO FOR ‘INCOMING SILENCE’ BUT MINERVA IS STRIKING DOWN UPON JOSO REPEATEDLY ACROSS HIS SKULL! Joso can’t commit to putting Minerva down right away as this can end terribly for him if he tries!!
Stew-O: WHICH LEADS TO JOSO RUSHING FORWARD AND NAILING THE BUCKLE BOMB!!!! The buckle bomb connects as Minerva is sent crashing into the corner as Joso had to commit to rushing ahead and launching Minerva off in order to make further damage happen! Minerva’s now stumbling away from the corner as she’s considerably rocked from the buckle bomb—
Flannery McCoy: TO SEND ‘SATAN’S KISS’ SPRAWLING ACROSS JOSO FROM OUT OF NOWHERE!!! THE HEADBUTT KNOCKS JOSO DOWN AS MINERVA REMAINS ON TOP OF HIM TO GINGERLY HOOK THE LEG!!! WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?!?
Referee: ONEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOO!!!
i’m
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Jake Mercer: NO! JOSO WITH THE SHOULDER UP AS THIS MATCH RAGES ON!! Joso is vigorously shaking his own head here as Minerva is sitting up in a hurry, wide-eyed as she sees that Joso is not looking to keep himself down for long! Minerva is now rising back up to a crouched stance, remaining situated beside Joso as she’s keeping a hold of his hair!
Stew-O: And proceeds to send repeated punches across the skull of Joso! Anything to keep Joso down for a much longer period of time as she does not want the World Heavyweight Champion to find the slightest chance of ground to reassume in this match! Minerva finds herself quickly dragging Joso over to the corner! Now Minerva’s clutching onto the ropes, giving a brief glimpse back upon the champion as she proceeds to leap upward before BOUNCING OFF THE ROPES FOR THE ‘HELL’S BELL’S’—
Flannery McCoy: BUT JOSO SHIFTS A BOOT UP THAT NAILS MINERVA RIGHT AT HER ABDOMEN!!! Minerva’s clutching her abdomen now as she’s trying to move back up quickly, not allowing herself the time to recover with a hand over her midsection as she’s turning back to the champion—BUT JOSO’S RUNNING FORWARD WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE THAT NAILS MINERVA ACROSS THE JAW!!!
Jake Mercer: MINERVA IS ROCKED BY THE KNEE STRIKE AS SHE DROPS DOWN TO ONE KNEE!! Joso’s dropped down as well as he’s got Minerva placed in the position where he can take his own advantage from here! He quickly hoists Minerva over and onto the top turnbuckle! Bringing himself upward and up onto the turnbuckle as he’s looking to put her down for good here! Joso gets his arms around Minerva, AS WE MAY SEE A AN AVALANCHE BELLY TO BELLY FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Stew-O: BUT MINERVA SENDS A FOREARM ACROSS JOSO’S JAW! AND ANOTHER!! AND ANOTHER! Joso is teetering at the top of the turnbuckle as he’s trying to hold on here, with no room to truly retort here as soon as before long MINERVE SENDS A KICK THAT SENDS JOSO ONTO THE CANVAS! But Joso is refusing to keep himself down as he’s getting back up to a stance, albeit groggily as now Minerva is fixing her positioning at the top! She understands that she needs to act quickly as she assumes her stance… BEFORE LAUNCHING FORWARD FOR A MISSILE DROPKICK FROM THE TOP—
Flannery McCoy: BUT JOSO CATCHES HER LOWER BODY AND SHE DROPS DOWN ONTO THE BACK OF HER NECK—AS HE HOISTS HER INTO POSITION TO NAIL ‘CRIMSON PEAK’!!!! IMMENSE COUNTER FROM JOSO AS HE ROLLS OVER AND LEAVES MINERVA’S SHOULDERS DOWN TO MAINTAIN THE PIN!!! THIS COULD BE IT!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEE—
Jake Mercer: NO!!! MINERVA IS REFUSING TO GIVE IN HERE!!! THE KICK OUT!! Joso is once again contemplating what needs to be done next, refusing to allow the doubts to seep through as Minerva is trying to maintain all of the fight that she’s got to give! But it appears Joso is now gearing up to truly put an end to this match from here!
Stew-O: As Joso’s risen back up, and Minerva is looking toward the ropes in order to make herself return to any proper standing that she can find in order to stay in the match!! As Joso’s dragging Minerva into position, looking to put an end to any hopes of there being history to be made tonight as she’s now BEING HOISTED UP FOR HEAVEN’S GATE—
Flannery McCoy: BUT MINERVA SQUIRMS FREE—AND TACKLES JOSO THROUGH THE ROPES & ONTO THE APRON!!! A sudden flurry from Minerva to evade disaster as Joso’s able to clutch onto the ropes to keep himself on the apron! Now both of these incredibly accomplished elitists are grasping onto those ropes in order to drag themselves upward, with Minerva glaring toward Joso as the champion’s finding the wherewithal in his own right to spare the same!
Jake Mercer: BEFORE MINERVA THROWS A SWIFT FOREARM ACROSS THE JAW OF JOSO!!! Joso feels every bit of that forearm which leads to the champion retorting back with a STIFF FOREARM OF HIS OWN THAT LEAVES MINERVA REELING IN THE SAME REGARD!
Stew-O: But it’s not enough to cause Minerva to let go!! She shakes her own head as she’s holding on as she sends ANOTHER FOREARM ACROSS JOSO’S JAW!!! Joso’s keeping himself steady on the apron BEFORE HE’S GOT A FOREARM SPRAWLING TOWARD MINERVA’S JAW AS WELL!! Neither elitist is looking to stay down!!! This can go either way here!!!
Flannery McCoy: MINERVA AIMS FOR A FORE—JOSO WITH THE SUDDEN KNEE ACROSS HER JAW BEFORE SHE COULD RETORT! Joso doesn’t give her the chance as this leaves Minerva dazed… BUT THROUGH THE DAZE SHE’S BEEN ANGERED BY THE SUDDEN KNEE STRIKE AS WELL! JOSO LOOKS TO SEND ANOTHER SUPERKICK—
Jake Mercer: OPEN PALM CHOP RIGHT ACROSS THE LOWER NECK OF JOSO AFTER EVADING THE SUPERKICK! STILL HOLDING ON! Joso is clutching onto his own neck with a hand as now Minerva is now turning Joso around and into position—AS SHE’S LOOKING FOR ‘SIREN’S LONELY SONG’ ONTO THE APRON!
Stew-O: BUT JOSO TURNS HIMSELF BACK AROUND AND SHOVES MINERVA INTO THE RINGPOST BACK FIRST!!! Minerva yells out in pain as the ringpost nails the back of her head as well!!! Joso quickly grabs a hold of Minerva & places her in position right over the apron!!! With his arm wrapped around her head… No… HE’S ACTUALLY GOING FOR IT!!! JOSO’S GOING FOR THE—
Flannery McCoy: BRAINBUSTER ONTO THE APRON!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!! MINERVA IS SPIKED RIGHT INTO THE APRON AS SHE IMMEDIATELY CLUTCHES ONTO HER ENTIRE NECK AFTER COLLAPSING ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!! MY GOODNESS!!!
Jake Mercer: THE REFEREE RUSHES OUT OF THE RING AS MINERVA MAY VERY WELL HAVE A VERTEBRAE FRACTURE!!! THIS CAN CHANGE THE ENTIRE TRAJECTORY OF THE MATCH FROM HERE!!!
(The referee continues to check on Minerva, as she couldn’t stop clutching onto her own neck after the brainbuster onto the apron. Joso is able to pull himself up to his feet with the apron, while Minerva can be seen shaking her own head as she yells out to the referee.)
Minerva: (off-mic) I’M GOOD! I’M NOT LEAVING THIS FUCKING ARENA WITHOUT THE TITLE! GET BACK IN THE RING!
Stew-O: Minerva refuses to give in by any means!!! She tells the referee off while he has no choice but to keep the match going, he should’ve expected as much from Minerva after EVERYTHING she’s been able to place herself through!
Flannery McCoy: But now here’s Joso able to return back to his feet! He’s pacing over to Minerva all the while, she’s still struggling to raise back up to her feet!!
Joso: (off-mic) I’m sorry, but you ain’t leaving here with MY title! I said this would all end one way and I meant that shit!!
Jake Mercer: Joso has plenty to spare while Minerva is trying to bring herself back up—AS HE SENDS A BACK ELBOW SPRAWLING ACROSS THE BACK OF MINERVA’S NECK!! She stumbles forward and against the steel steps, leaning against the steps as Joso now sweeps Minerva off of her stance, leaving her in a seated position as she’s leaned against the steel steps!!!
Stew-O: Which leaves Minerva is the worst position possible here as Joso is now backing himself away from where Minerva remains, ensuring that he’s got more than enough momentum to garner for himself here through the pressure to place against Minerva right here!! The challenger wishes to continue yet it seems the champion will give another reason to give in AS HE RUSHES FORWARD WITH THE KNEE AGAINST MINERVA INTO THE STEPS—
Flannery McCoy: MINERVA WITH A BOOT TO JOSO’S KNEE CAUSES HIM TO BUCKLE & COLLAPSE FORWARD AGAINST THE STEPS!! FACE FIRST ONTO THE STEEL STEPS!! Joso’s squirming around while Minerva is now using those same steps to get herself back up to her feet, and there’s this increased fire in her eyes after seeing that every single second of this match will count now that she’s been made vulnerable due to the brainbuster!!!
(Minerva’s gaze moves toward the announce desk, as she then eyes back toward Joso with her focus somehow amplifying itself much further.)
Jake Mercer: Minerva’s just figured herself into the next route to take here as she drags Joso upward and directly toward our desk here, perhaps looking TO EVEN THE SCORE—
( **SMACK!!!** )
Stew-O: MY GOD!!! MINERVA JUST SLAMS JOSO’S HEAD ONTO THE COVERING OF OUR ANNOUNCE DESK!!! The thud can be heard from that collision as Joso’s breathing heavily, as conscious as he can be despite all of the hardship he can be dealt with!!! But there’s a devious expression building from Minerva’s gaze as she doesn’t seem all too inclined ON SLOWING DOWN!!!
Flannery McCoy: MINERVA’S GOT JOSO’S HEAD HELD UPWARD!!
( **SMACK!!!** )
( **SMACK!!!** )
( **SMACK!!!** )
( **SMACK!!!** )
Jake Mercer: OH MY GOD!!! JOSO’S SKULL HAS BEEN SENT INTO THE ANNOUNCE DESK COVERING OVER AND OVER!!! THERE’S AN IMMENSE INDENTATION MADE WITHIN THE COVERING AS MINERVA’S NOW DRAGGING THE COVER AWAY!!! JOSO’S DELIRIOUS AS HE HAS NO IDEA WHERE HE IS WITH THE COVER LEANED AGAINST THE APRON!
Stew-O: ‘AS MINERVA DRAGS JOSO OVER TO THE COVERING WITH THE CHAMPION IN POSITION FOR WORST TO COME—
( # SMACK!!!! )
Flannery McCoy: ‘PARADISE LOST’ INTO THE COVERING!!! THE COVERING BROKE IN TWO UPON IMPACT OF JOSO’S HEAD BEING SENT THROUGH!!! JOSO’S HURT!!! MINERVA IS STILL KEEPING A HAND OVER HER OWN NECK, BUT NOW JOSO HAS TO BE REELING AS WELL!
Jake Mercer: MINERVA PULLS JOSO UPWARD AND PUSHES HIM BACK INTO THE RING AS QUICKLY AS SHE CAN!!! SHE NOW SLIDES BACK IN AS WELL, WITH JOSO REMAINING EVER SO CONSCIOUS DESPITE THE PRESSURE THAT HE HAS JUST BEEN PLACED THROUGH!
Stew-O: BUT HE’S DAZED!!! MINERVA IS LOOKING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE!!! TO MAKE HISTORY! TO RIGHT EVERY WRONG AND FIND ALL OF THE WORTH TO EMERGE FROM THE STRUGGLES SHE HAS FACED! JOSO’S STIRRING AS MINERVA HAS GOT JOSO BACK INTO POSITION HERE!!!!! HOISTING THE CHAMPION—

Stew-O: Minerva is now feeling all of the desperation begin to seep in!!! She was mere moments away from seeing to it that this became a historic night in all of professional wrestling and this was halted by Joso refusing to give in!!! The challenger will need to ensure that more is done to make this reality happen!!
Flannery McCoy: Which is exactly what she’s aiming for here!!! Minerva’s controlling her breaths while grasping onto Joso & dragging him upward with as much of her energy as she possibly can!!! Doing everything in her power to apply one more nail to the coffin of his reign!!! AS SHE’S NOT WASTING ANYMORE TIME!!!
Jake Mercer: # ‘A CLOCKWORK ORANGE!’
Stew-O: JOSO SUDDENLY LIFTS MINERVA OVER HIS OWN SHOULDERS—AND NAILS ‘RUNAWAY’!!!! ‘RUNAWAY’ IN A HURRY PUTS MINERVA BACK DOWN AS THE IMPACT OF HER HEAD WHIPPING BACK ONTO THE CANVAS CAUSES HER TO CLUTCH ONTO HER NECK AGAIN!!!

Jake Mercer: SHE KICKS OUT!!!!!! MINERVA WITH THE SHOULDER UP AS SHE JUST KICKED OUT FROM HEAVEN’S GATE!!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE SHE IS STILL MANAGING TO STAY IN THIS MATCH DESPITE EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN INFLICTED UPON HER!!
Stew-O: I CAN’T BELIEVE THE TENACITY OF BOTH ELITISTS TONIGHT! MINERVA IS DEALING WITH A TERRIBLE NECK WHILE JOSO’S SKULL HAS ABSOLUTELY BEEN RATTLED CONSIDERABLY THROUGHOUT THE MATCH!! THIS WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH CONTINUES!
(Joso & Minerva remain laid out on the mat for a brief period, as the exhaustion has set in for both elitists. Most of all, desperation plagues their faces as they find themselves slowly rising up to seated positions…)
Flannery McCoy: Joso seems to be able to rise up first, now looking to bring himself up to a proper stance from there as well—
(Minerva clutches onto Joso’s wrist before he can raise to his feet, as she can be seen glaring upward toward him, with heavy breaths as she musters up the most understated smirk possible.)
Minerva: (off-mic) This… will never end… ‘till I defeat you…
(Joso is wide-eyed, grimacing toward Minerva as he shakes his own head.)
Joso: (off-mic) Outta your damn mind… MY ERA.
(Joso sends a stiff boot directly across Minerva’s temple… as the challenger takes the boot in full, maintaining her glare up towards the champion while slowly rising to her feet.)
Minerva: (off-mic) *YOUR HELL!*
Flannery McCoy: A FOREARM IS SENT COLLIDING INTO JOSO’S TEMPLE AFTERWARD!!! MINERVA WANTS ALL OF THE PRESSURE AS SHE’S RETURNING BACK THE OFFENSE IN FULL!!! THERE’S NO STOPPING THESE TWO!!!
Jake Mercer: JOSO IS ABLE TO MAINTAIN HIS GROUND!!! HE SENDS REPEATED FOREARMS ACROSS HER TEMPLE AS HAS TO BE AMPLIFYING THE PAIN REVOLVING AROUND HER MINERVA’S NECK!!!
Stew-O: BUT MINERVA’S ABLE TO SUBSIDE THIS PAIN AS SHE’S MEEETING JOSO HALFWAY WITH THESE DELIBERATE STRIKES!!! JOSO LOOKS FOR ANOTHER ELBOW—
Flannery McCoy: BUT MINERVA RETORTS WITH AN ELBOW OF HER OWN BEFORE JOSO COULD! CAUSING JOSO TO STIR IN PLACE WHILE TURNING HIMSELF AROUND—
Jake Mercer: TO NAIL A PELE KICK THAT CAUSES MINERVA TO STUMBLE! SHE BACKS INTO THE ROPES & MOVES FORWARD AS JOSO SEEKS OUT A BICYCLE KICK!!

Stew-O: ***CURB STOMP FROM JOSO?!?!?!?!*** JOSO JUST DELIVERED THE CURB STOMP DOWN ONTO MINERVA’S HEAD AS SHE’S CAVED INTO THE MAT!!!
Flannery McCoy: MINERVA ISN’T MOVING AN INCH!!! A MANEUVER SHE HAS BECOME ALL TOO FAMILIAR WITH AT THE HANDS OF DRAKE KING! THE MAN WHO CAUSED UNRELENTING CRUELTY UPON HER FOR MONTHS!! YEARS!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT THE DESPERATION PANS OUT FOR JOSO!!! MINERVA HASN’T EVEN LIFTED A FINGER!!! HE TURNS MINERVA OVER IN A HURRY, HOOKING THE LEG AS THE DREAM DIES HOW HER NIGHTMARE BEGAN ON DYNASTY!!!
Referee: ONE—
Stew-O: # MINERVA POWERS OUT AT ONE!!!! SHE SCREAMS OUT AS SHE JUST EMERGED FROM THE ASHES AT THE COUNT OF ONE!!!!
(Minerva’s scream can be heard from all over the venue as she shakes her own head vigorously, gritting her teeth & eyeing Joso with unbridled anger. The curb stomp signaled the most painful months of her tenure, her eyes engulfed by the vitriol & heartbreak of a period that nearly broke her in mind, body and spirit… as she refused to allow the journey to end like this.)
Flannery McCoy: JOSO IS IN DISBELIEF!!! HE’S WIDE EYED & IN SHOCK AS HE’S BACKING HIMSELF AWAY, SHAKING HIS OWN HEAD AS MINERVA’S BARELY ALLOWED THE ONE COUNT BEFORE REIGNITING HER FIRE TO KICK OUT!!! JOSO MAY HAVE JUST COMPELLED THE END OF HIS CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN TO DRAW CLOSER DUE TO THE DESPERATION!
Jake Mercer: BUT HE CAN’T FREEZE UP!!! JOSO KNOWS THIS AND RETURNS TO HIS FEET AS HE’S NOW RUSHING BACK TOWARD MINERVA TO PUT HER DOWN BEFORE SHE CAN RETALIATE—
Stew-O: ‘THE DEVIL’S TOUCH’ CONNECTS ACROSS THE JAW OF JOSO!!!! MINERVA’S GLARE IS IMPOSED FURTHER AS JOSO DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE, BUT HE’S NOT LETTING HIMSELF GO DOWN JUST YET AS HE’S SHAKING HIS OWN HEAD WITH ENDLESS VIGOR!
Flannery McCoy: WHICH IS WHY A SECOND ‘DEVIL’S TOUCH’ FOLLOWS SUIT!!! ANOTHER SUPERKICK ROCKS JOSO TO HIS CORE! JOSO SLUMPS DOWN ONTO BOTH KNEES AS HE LEANS HIMSELF CLOSER TO THE APRON!!
Jake Mercer: WITH MINERVA GETTING A HOLD OF HIM! THE ADRENALINE’S NOT GONNA KEEP HER RUNNING FOREVER AND SHE KNOWS THIS!!! ONE LAST MANEUVER OF DESPERATION!!!!

Stew-O: THE AUDIENCE HAS EXPLODED IN ADORATION!!! MINERVA DID IT!!!
(…)
(The referee’s hand was mere millimeters away from hitting the mat for the three count, shaking his head as he spotted Joso’s foot draped over the middle rope at the nick of time while his hand hovered over the canvas.)
(Minerva takes his glance to the foot over the rope, an excruciating result of connecting ‘Clockwork Orange’ to maintain the pinfall.)
Flannery McCoy: WHAT?!?? JOSO’S FOOT’S OVER THE ROPE! THE REFEREE’S HAND WAS SO CLOSE TO HITTING THE THREE THAT THE ENTIRE AUDIENCE BELIEVED IT WENT THROUGH! I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS!!!
Jake Mercer: I THOUGHT THAT WAS IT! MINERVA IS ABSOLUTELY SPENT! SHE WENT THROUGH SO MUCH TO GET TO THIS MATCH & ALL OF THE FIGHT SHE’S GIVEN! HER NECK MUST BE RUNNING AT LESS THAN FIFTY PERCENT RIGHT NOW!!!
Stew-O: MINERVA IS DISTRAUGHT, BUT NOW SHE’S TRYING TO DRAG JOSO UPWARD, AND IT’S SLOWED ON HER BEHALF AS SHE’S FEELING AGONY WITH UNRELENTING STINGING PAIN COMING FROM HER NECK!
Flannery McCoy: BUT MINERVA’S ABLE TO DRAG JOSO UPWARD, DESPITE HOW EXCRUCIATING EVERY MOVEMENT FEELS!!! SHE’S NOT READY TO LET GO, WITH ONE MORE MANEUVER IN HER ARSENAL THAT HAS BEEN ABLE TO BRING HER VICTORY!!
Jake Mercer: SHE GETS THE CLAW OVER JOSO’S FACE!!! THE CLAW IS LOCKED IN AS MINERVA LOOKS TO FINISH THE CHAMPION RIGHT HERE—WITH ***’THE STIR OF ECHOES!***
Stew-O: JOSO WITH AN ELBOW ACROSS HER NECK!!! JOSO FOUND ENOUGH WHEREWITHAL WITH MINERVA’S SLOWED MOVEMENTS TO RETALIATE!!! MINERVA STRUGGLES AS DROPS DOWN TO THE MAT, TRYING TO REMAIN IN THE MATCH HERE—
Flannery McCoy: BUT JOSO’S ABLE TO BRING HIMSELF OVER AND YANK MINERVA INTO POSITION—HE DOES IT!!!! THE SECOND ‘HEAVEN’S GATE’!!!! MINERVA IS DROPPED ON HER OWN HEAD AS THIS CAVES AROUND HER NECK FURTHER!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT JOSO IS EXHAUSTED!!!! HE’S SOME WAYS AWAY FROM MINERVA AS HE’S TRYING TO CRAWL FOR THE PIN!!!
Stew-O: WHAT THE HELL?!?!?
(After the second ‘Heaven’s Gate’, Joso is left wide-eyed & shocked once more.)
(Minerva’s will to succeed, refuses to keep her down.)
Flannery McCoy: MINERVA IS RAISING HERSELF FROM OFF THE MAT!!!! HOW?!?!?? HOW IS SHE DOING THIS?!!?? SHE’S RUNNING OFF OF PURE INSTINCT AT THIS RATE!
Jake Mercer: WHICH MEANS JOSO KNOWS WHAT MUST BE DONE! HE DESPERATELY PULLS MINERVA OVER AS SHE COULDN’T BRING HERSELF TO A BETTER POSITION.. JOSO TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY—

(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… AND STILLLLLLLL WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION… JOOOOOSOOOOOO!!!
Stew-O: My goodness. What an incredibly heartstopping battle between two of the very best elitists in the entirety of Elite Answers Wrestling. Nothing could truly exemplify just how intense that showdown was between the champion and the challenger.
Flannery McCoy: Minerva came so close to making history, so close… but all of the consequences endured, and how her neck became such a glaring target would end up halting the dream for another day. Joso was able to keep himself as close to the apron as possible for that Clockwork Orange.
Jake Mercer: But this takes nothing away from the incredible efforts of Minerva!!! She gave Joso perhaps the toughest challenge of ANY of the bouts the champion has had thus far! This was a championship match to remember!
Stew-O: Congratulations to the retaining World Heavyweight Champion, Joso!
(‘2024’ can be heard blaring throughout the speakers once more as Joso, in immense exhaustion and agony in his own right, as helped up to his feet by the referee. The referee gives him the World Heavyweight Championship, before raising his arm high as the audience gives their applause. Joso stumbles to the side and leans against the ropes, breathing heavily as he understands the match he was put through. Minerva is aided by officials near the apron, but she shakes her head and remains leaning by the ropes as the disappointment is etched across her expression—history that remains yet to be made. The final shot of Joso raising the title once more allows for the scene to fades to the last set of commercials for the evening.)

Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your MAIN EVENT!!! And it is an IRON SURVIVOR MATCH!!!!! With the winner getting a World Championship opportunity of their choosing!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ by AFI begins to play up through the speakers of the arena as the crowd roars in approval of this. The camera goes over to the stage as Hans Grayson is seen making his way out with a determined expression on his face. He jumps in place before popping his neck, beginning to march down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada… weighing in at 219 pounds… HE IS THE ‘FIRE BREATHING DRAGON’… HANS GRAYSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: It’s certainly going to be one hell of a road for Hans Grayson as he starts off this match along with his opponent, but it’s not something that he’s going to shy away from. The former Interwire Champion is looking to take this in stride and use this as an opportunity to get himself back into the World Championship picture.
Flannery McCoy: It’s been a long road for Hans this year, one of hard work and pure determination, but he’s looking to make the most of it. He’s looking to start his true path to Pain For Pride by winning a monumental match like the Iron Survivor, and he has a strong chance of doing it. Let’s see what he has to offer.
Jake Mercer: Oh man, my Fire Heart is making his way out here, and he looks better than ever! I’m telling you, this is his chance to become a World Champion! I believe in him!
(‘Clash of the Gods [EPIC VERSION]’ by Carameii begins to play through the speakers of the arena as the crowd once again cheers as the shot goes over to reveal BRAE as he makes his way out from the backstage area. He has a serious expression on his face as he poses, giving a battle cry before then beginning to make his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… from Novosibirsk, Russia… weighing in at 215 pounds… ‘SON’… BRAE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Now here comes someone who’s been fighting with a chip on his shoulder for quite some time now. Since losing the New Breed Champion, BRAE has been a man on a mission, and he knows what a match like this can do for his career. He’s looking to make sure that he brings this home and starts the next phase of his career sooner rather than later.
Jake Mercer: And I firmly believe that he can! I don’t think it’s lost upon us just the competitor that BRAE is inside of that ring!
Flannery McCoy: Indeed, but he has a tall task ahead of him when it comes to the participants in this match. All I can say for certain is that this is going to be an absolute war. Let’s see who comes out on top in such a high stakes match!
(DING! DING! DING!)
**(0:01)**
Stew-O: The bell has officially rung, as this Iron Survivor match is underway! Six of the best that Friday Night Dynasty has to offer duke it out with the opportunity to win a match for a World Championship of their choosing! Every three minutes and 45 seconds, a new participant will make their way out until the 30-minute mark hits, with whoever has the most points winning the match! But right now, two former New Breed Champions are going to go at it! BRAE, Hans Grayson, who will come out with the advantage in this!
Flannery McCoy: Both of them are beginning to make their way out of their corners, and it seems like they’re not going to waste time locking up with each other! BRAE quickly pulls Hans into a headlock, trying to dip down to the ground, but Hans manages to slip his head out as he grabs ahold of him by the arm and locks in a wrist lock! BRAE is momentarily derailed, but he quickly rolls himself forward as he spins around, reversing it into a wrist lock of his own!
Jake Mercer: Hans tries to make his way out of it, but BRAE is trying to take him down to the ground, not looking to give him any sort of room to breathe at the moment. He maneuvers himself, ONLY FOR HANS TO BRING HIS HEAD UNDER HIS ARM AND LIFT HIM INTO A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! He pins his shoulders to the ground, but BRAE manages to kick out of it before the count can even start!
Stew-O: Both of them make their way back to their feet, but quickly, it’s BRAE who manages to connect with a hard boot to the abdomen! Hans is doubled over, and now BRAE grabs hold of him by the wrist and sends him toward the ropes and back, GOING FOR A CLOTHESLINE- But Hans ducks under it! He turns around and runs to the ropes himself, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HARD BOOT STRAIGHT TO THE FACE OF BRAE, WHICH TAKES HIM COMPLETELY DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE slowly rises back up to his feet as he staggers backward toward the corner, BUT HANS IS QUICK TO RUSH FORWARD AS HE CONNECTS WITH A HARD FOREARM SMASH TO HIS FACE! He then grabs hold of him and rolls him down into a seated position with a Snapmare, sizing him up, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND GOING FOR A DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD-
Jake Mercer: But that doesn’t happen as BRAE manages to move out of the way just in time! BRAE manages to rise to his feet as he meets Hans, GRABBING HIM BY THE HEAD AND NAILING HIM WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TO THE FACE! He then grabs him and brings him into a front facelock, dragging him toward the center of the ring, AS HE LIFTS HIM OFF OF THE GROUND AND DROPS HIM WITH A SUPLEX ONTO THE CANVAS!
Stew-O: Hans lands flat on his back, and this gives BRAE the advantage in these early goings, as he grabs a hold of him by the head before sending him through the middle rope! Hans lands on the apron, and now BRAE is looking to attack as he grabs a hold of him by the head. IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S GOING FOR ‘THE 10 BEATS OF BRAE’! THE CLUBBING BLOWS STRAIGHT TO THE CHEST OF HANS-
Flannery McCoy: BUT HANS MANAGES TO GRAB HIS ARM BEFORE USING HIS OTHER TO NAIL HIM WITH A BACK ELBOW STRAIGHT TO THE FACE! Hans then sizes himself up, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD MISSILE DROPKICK TO SEND BRAE STAGGERING BACKWARD! BRAE staggers toward one of the corners, and this gives Hans the chance to make his way back up to his feet, BEFORE RUSHING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE STRAIGHT TO HIS FACE!
Jake Mercer: BUT BRAE MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! He sends Hans into the corner instead, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HARD CHOP TOWARD HIS CHEST! AND NOW, BRAE IS BEGINNING TO UNLOAD ON HIM WITH VICIOUS MACHINE GUN CHOPS! LIGHTING UP THE FORMER INTERWIRE CHAMPION IMMEDIATELY WITH THE CHANCE THAT JUST OPENED UP!
Stew-O: But while that’s going on, it seems like we’ve reached the first point! The countdown has started, meaning that our next participant is making their way down to the ring!

(‘Many Men (Wish Death)’ by 50 Cent hits the speakers to the boos of the crowd.)
Flannery McCoy: Well, we know who this is! Chris Elite is here, and the EAW Hall of Famer is quickly rushing down the ramp, not wasting any time getting himself involved with what’s going on inside of the ring!
Jake Mercer: Chris climbs onto the apron as he sizes BRAE up, BEFORE LEAPING OFF OF THE ROPES WHILE HE TURNS AROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! He quickly rolls back up to his feet as Hans makes his way up, and he throws a strike- BUT CHRIS MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT AS HE GRABS A HOLD OF HANS AND LEAPS INTO THE AIR, CONNECTING WITH A SPANISH FLY TO DROP HIM DOWN ONTO THE MAT!
Stew-O: And now Chris has rolled under the bottom rope and made his way up to his feet! He’s beginning to climb up onto the top turnbuckle as he positions himself…
Flannery McCoy: LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND GOING FOR ‘AIMIN FOR THE MOON’! THE SWANTON 450 SPLASH TO HANS-
Jake Mercer: BUT HANS MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! HE ROLLS BACK UP TO HIS FEET AS HE NAILS CHRIS WITH A ‘FLAMING PUNCH’! THE SUPERMAN PUNCH STRAIGHT TO THE FACE OF CHRIS TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!
Stew-O: Hans now drops down and rolls onto the apron as he makes his way up to his feet, and he’s yelling at Chris to get back up as the Hall of Famer slowly begins to stagger before pushing himself upward! He turns himself around, and I don’t think he knows what’s coming here…
Flannery McCoy: AS HANS GOES FOR THE ‘BURNING SHOT LARIAT’ TO CHRIS!
Jake Mercer: BUT CHRIS JUST WENT UNDER! LOW BLOW TO HANS AS HE KICKS HIM RIGHT IN THE GROIN!
Stew-O: HANS DOUBLES OVER, AND CHRIS TAKES ADVANTAGE AS HE GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD AND ROLLS HIM UP!

Flannery McCoy: And Hans is sent to the penalty box, with Chris rolling up to his feet and having a big grin on his face! He just got the first fall in this matchup and is already leading the races. If he can keep this up, then he might very well have this match in the bag!
Jake Mercer: BUT HE NEEDS TO LOCK BACK IN, AS HE DOESN’T SEE BRAE LEAP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECT WITH A HARD JUMPING KNEE STRAIGHT TO HIS SKULL! Chris drops down to a knee as BRAE then turns around and runs to the ropes and back, BEFORE NAILING HIM WITH ANOTHER KNEE STRIKE-
Stew-O: BUT CHRIS MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! He spins around and grabs BRAE from behind, LIFTING HIM AND DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! He isn’t done, though, as he rolls through and keeps a hold of him, BEFORE HOOKING THE ARMS AND THIS TIME GOING FOR A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: BUT BRAE MANAGES TO BREAK HIMSELF FREE AS HE SPINS AROUND AND CONNECTS WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! Chris falls backward and against the ropes, and now BRAE is sizing him up, AS HE RUSHES FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A BOOT TO SEND HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING!
Jake Mercer: The Imperial Symphony is fired up right now as he’s quick to shoot toward the opposite pair of ropes. Chris is just beginning to make his way back up to his feet, so he has the perfect opportunity here AS HE GOES FOR A SUICIDE DIVE-
Stew-O: NO! CHRIS MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT AS BRAE TAKES A HARD FALL DOWN TO THE GROUND! BRAE is hurt as he tries to make his way up to his feet despite the pain, but Chris is quickly looking to take advantage as he grabs him by the head, BEFORE SENDING HIM SHOULDER FIRST RIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE!
Flannery McCoy: Chris is on pace to win this match, and he just needs to keep fighting the tide like this to make sure that it stays that way! But there’s going to be a whole other factor in the mix as the countdown has officially begun, and that only means one thing: another competitor is about to make their way out!

Flannery McCoy: ONLY TO TAKE CHRIS’S HEAD OFF WITH A ‘CYCLONE LARAT’! HE THEN GOES TOWARD ONE OF THE CORNERS AS CHRIS STAGGERS BACK UP TO HIS FEET!

Stew-O: Meanwhile, BRAE is connecting with a barrage of forearm strikes straight to the face that send him staggering back toward one of the corners! Cy is backed up, and the former New Breed Champion is beginning to bring the fight to him as he connects with an assault of body shots to his abdomen area!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE then turns around and runs to the opposite side and back, getting a running start, AS HE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A HIGH KNEE RIGHT TO THE FACE! BRAE then begins to connect with multiple stomps to the chest area!
Jake Mercer: Meanwhile, it looks like Hans is slowly making his way back up to his feet as he rolls himself into the ring, Chris looking quite satisfied with what he did to him in the process. But Hans rolls into the ring, FOR BRAE ALMOST TO IMMEDIATELY NOTICE AND GO FOR A CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD-
Stew-O: BUT HANS MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT AS HE TURNS AROUND AND BEGINS TO GAIN MOMENTUM, AS HE LEAPS ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A HURRICANRANA!
Flannery McCoy: Cy stumbles out of his corner, trying his best to recover, ONLY FOR HANS TO GRAB A HOLD OF HIM AND LIFT HIM INTO THE AIR, CONNECTING WITH A SNAP POWERSLAM! Hans is beginning to feel it now as he makes his way back up to his feet, running to the ropes as he sizes up BRAE!

(CHRIS ELITE: 1
CY HENDERSON: 1
HANS GRAYSON: 1
KIRK REDWOOD: 1
BRAE: 0
DRAKE KING: 0)
Flannery McCoy: BRAE is sent to the penalty box and four of our six competitors in this match are officially on the board! Kirk Redwood came in with a fire to him, and he used that to tie up with the three others with one point, and now he gets himself one step closer to winning!
Jake Mercer: Kirk is back up to his feet as BRAE is sent over to the penalty box. He doesn’t have much time to think about what’s next, though, as Drake is quick to come in and connect with a chop straight to his chest! He then grabs hold of Kirk and throws him into the corner, then begins to unload with vicious strikes right to his face!
Stew-O: Drake then steps back as he gives himself a running start, RUSHING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A FOREARM STRIKE TO THE FACE- ONLY FOR KIRK TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AND SEND DRAKE INTO THE CORNER INSTEAD! Kirk takes a moment to recover before heading over, ONLY FOR DRAKE TO CONNECT WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE TO FORCE HIM BACKWARD!
Flannery McCoy: Now Drake is making his way up to the middle rope as he awaits Kirk, who turns himself around, AS DRAKE LAUNCHES INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A MIDDLE ROPE BLOCKBUSTER TO DROP HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!
(**18:45**)
Jake Mercer: Drake then hooks the leg and goes for the pin, trying his best to get a fall for himself in this matchup!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Stew-O: BUT CHRIS ELITE MANAGES TO COME IN JUST IN TIME AND BREAK UP THE PIN! He rolls Drake onto his back and begins to unload on him with repeated shots to the face! Trying to overwhelm him while he has the chance to do that!
Flannery McCoy: Chris then grabs him by the head before sending him toward the ropes and back, GOING FOR A CLOTHESLINE- But Drake manages to duck under that! He runs the ropes and back, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A LOW DROPKICK TO THE KNEECAP! He then gets back up to his feet before taking a step back, CONNECTING WITH A SUPERKICK RIGHT TO HIS JAW TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Jake Mercer: Meanwhile, it looks like Hans and Cy are fighting back and forth on the outside near the penalty box, where BRAE is looking like a man possessed, waiting for his time to elapse! Hans staggers back after a strike from Cy, before connecting with an uppercut straight to his jaw! Hans tries for another strike- But Cy manages to duck under, BEFORE REELING HIS HEAD BACK AND CONNECTING WITH A HEADBUTT STRAIGHT TO HIS FACE!
Stew-O: Hans staggers backward but quickly rushes forward, AND CY LIFTS HIM OFF THE GROUND AND GOES FOR A BACK BODY DROP-
Flannery McCoy: BUT HANS JUST MANAGED TO FLIP OVER AND GRAB A HOLD OF THE PENALTY BOX! CY MAKES HIS WAY OVER, TRYING TO PULL HIM DOWN, BUT HANS KICKS HIM AWAY BEFORE PULLING HIMSELF UPWARD AND ONTO THE TOP OF IT! HE SETS HIMSELF UP AS CY TURNS AROUND!
Jake Mercer: AND HANS PUSHES HIMSELF OFF THE PENALTY BOX AND DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A SWANTON! WHAT A MOVE BY HANS GRAYSON!
Stew-O: BUT HE DOESN’T HAVE MUCH TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT THOUGH AS THE TIME HAS ELAPSED AND BRAE SHOOTS OUT OF HIS PENALTY BOX, CONNECTING WITH A HARD CLOTHESLINE TO THE FACE TO DROP HANS DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Flannery McCoy: HE GRABS HANS AND ROLLS HIM INTO THE RING AS HE STAGGERS UP TO HIS FEET! AND NOW BRAE SHOOTS FORWARD AND GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE TOWARD HIS HEAD-
Jake Mercer: BUT HANS SPINS AROUND AND CONNECTS WITH A KICK TO THE ABDOMEN JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME! HE SPINS AROUND BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A DISCUS LARIAT THIS TIME TO TAKE HIM DOWN! HANS IS BACK UP TO HIS FEET AS HE APPROACHES BRAE-
Stew-O: BUT CY! CY JUST CAME FROM BEHIND AND ROLLED HANS UP!

Jake Mercer: ‘MORRIGAN’!
Stew-O: BRAE OUT OF NOWHERE JUST SHOT UP LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL AND CONNECTED WITH THE BICYCLE KICK STRAIGHT TO THE FACE! HE DROPS DOWN AND HOOKS THE LEG BEFORE GOING FOR THE PIN!

Stew-O: Cy tries to recover, ONLY TO BE MET WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE HEAD BY CHRIS ELITE! Cy is sent over the top rope and onto the apron, AND CHRIS LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND GOES FOR A DROPKICK- ONLY FOR CY TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE ENTERING THE RING! Both of them are beginning to trade strikes back and forth right now, realizing how crucial of a situation this is for the both of them!

(**30:00**)
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Saint Pablo’ begins to play through the speakers once more as an exhausted Cy Henderson releases Drake King and drops himself down to the ground. He’s disheveled and exhausted as the referee makes his way over to check on him. Slowly but surely, Cy rises back up to his feet, as he takes a moment to catch his breath, before raising his own hands in the air as the crowd reacts negatively to what we’ve just seen here tonight.)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… CY HENDERSON!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: AT THE VERY LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT! WITH EVERYTHING GOING AGAINST HIM! WITH A RED HOT DRAKE KING ABOUT TO STEAL THE MATCH FROM HIM, CY HENDERSON MANAGED TO GET HIS FOURTH POINT AND GET HIMSELF THE VICTORY IN THIS MATCH!
Jake Mercer: This is everything that Cy wanted! This is everything that he was fighting for! Man, it makes my heart warm to know that Unc still has it! He’s getting a World Championship opportunity, and he has the chance to put himself at the very top of the Elite Answers Wrestling totem pole once more! I can see social media marking out already!
Stew-O: Cy now has the chance to become a three-time World Champion in this company, and knowing that he’s on the precipice of greatness, I am sure that he is more ready than ever to seize the moment that he has fought the entire season to get! What an absolute war, and congratulations to Cy on the victory!
Flannery McCoy: But it looks like someone isn’t very happy with that…
(Cy is at the center of the ring with a smirk on his face, but he takes notice of Drake King. Drake is running his hands down his face, practically pulling his hair out in anger, as he can’t believe that he let this opportunity slip away from him… It’s very uncharacteristic of The Ok King.)
Jake Mercer: No! Drake! Don’t let the woke mob get to you! You’re Ok! You’re Ok!
(But as he does… Drake calms himself down. He loosens himself up as he looks at Cy, who is glancing over at him, and he slowly begins to make his way up to his feet. As he headed over to him, the two of them stared down. After some time…)
Drake King: (Off-Mic) Thank you for the opportunity.
(Drake takes Cy’s hand and raises it into the air as the crowd reacts loudly to this. After he does so, he drops down and rolls out of the ring, making his way out of the area.)
Stew-O: What a night here at Operation: Doomsday! We’re so glad that you could join us, and what a way to end it! On behalf of Flannery McCoy and Jake Mercer, I’m Stew-O, signing off!
(Cy makes his way up to the top rope as he once again raises his hands into the air. Pyro is seen erupting out from the stage while he does. It’s the last shot seen before Operation: Doomsday then begins to fade out to complete black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
